played 24 minutes and scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, and three years later, he used his data to prove that he was the first brother in the men's basketball team
In the playoffs against Guangsha, Guangdong team Zhou Qi started and played 24 minutes, scoring 22 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals on 9-of-13 shooting, not only the highest shooting percentage in the team, but also single-handedly suppressed the opponent's interior twin towers Hu Jinqiu + Okafor. Three years later, Zhou Qi returned strongly in the playoffs and proved that he is still the strongest interior brother in the CBA with one game.
Hu Jinqiu averaged 20.8 points and 9.8 rebounds per game in the regular season this season, and was selected for the best team for a while, and in the playoffs Hu Jinqiu averaged 26.7 points and 12 rebounds per game against the Shanxi team, playing the momentum of the CBA's No. 1 forward. But yesterday, in the face of Zhou Qi and the defense of the Guangdong team, only 11 points and 4 rebounds were scored, and it was very uncomfortable to be suppressed. Also uncomfortable is the big foreign aid of the Guangsha team, this 2014 NBA Tanhua Show, in the NBA has an average of 17.5 points and 7 rebounds per game in a single season, the big center was also limited by Zhou Qi to only 12 points and 4 rebounds in yesterday's game, he and Hu Jinqiu formed a total of 23 points and 8 rebounds in the Guangsha inner twin towers, and Zhou Qi's data is comparable, and the performance of the two people on the court was completely exploded by Zhou Qi alone.
The former Zhou Qi was pinned on high hopes, and he won the World Youth Championships cap king Jokic at the World Youth Championships. In 2016, Zhou Qi was selected by the NBA Rockets with the 43rd overall pick in the second round, but did not go to the NBA that year, but stayed in the CBA Xinjiang team to continue playing, and in the 2016-17 season, Zhou Qi averaged 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game in the Xinjiang team, helping the team win the CBA league championship that year. In 2017, Zhou Qi went to the NBA Rockets to train, but did not get too many opportunities to play in more than a season, and the average data per game was only 1.2 points and 1.2 rebounds, in December 2018, the Rockets announced the layoff of Zhou Qi, and then Zhou Qi returned to the Xinjiang team to continue playing.
Due to contract issues and unsuccessful negotiations with the Xinjiang team, Zhou Qi announced in the summer of 2021 that he would not return to the CBA league for the time being, and announced in September of that year that he would join the Australian league NBL Southeast Melbourne Phoenix. Playing in overseas leagues for three years, Zhou Qi's progress is obvious to all, and the most direct embodiment is that his performance in the national team has become more mature and stable, and he has the demeanor of the new boss of the national team. In the summer of 2023, Guangdong Hongyuan sent guard Zhao Rui to Xinjiang in exchange for Zhou Qi's one-year signing rights, this season Zhou Qi stopped and stopped in the Guangdong team due to injuries, only played 28 games, and averaged 17.7 points and 11.7 rebounds in 28 minutes per game, because the number of games did not meet the conditions, so he was not selected for the best team.
Through yesterday's game, it can be seen that Zhou Qi's state has recovered to the best, whether it is fighting for rebounds or strong offense under the basket, receiving and shooting, and his confrontation is also the top CBA domestic player, even more than most of the big foreign aids. The last time Zhou Qi played in the CBA playoffs was in 2021, he only played 1 game in the playoffs that year, got 16 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks, and now Zhou Qi has returned strongly in the playoffs and is still one of the brightest stars in the CBA.
Today's Guangdong Hongyuan team is like a rainbow, and Zhou Qi has adjusted his mental state and game state to the best level after a season of adjustment, and he is not afraid of any opponent on the field. The Guangdong team has Hu Mingxuan and Xu Jie on the outside, and Zhou Qizhen is as stable as Mount Tai, and they will most likely win 3-0 in the face of the poor Guangsha team, and then face the old rival Liaoning team in the semifinals.
