Zhou Qi spoke up late at night!
After losing G4, Guangdong Hongyuan finally lost the best opportunity, G5 came to the away team to challenge Liao Basket and failed, and was eliminated with a big score of 2-3. Objectively speaking, the gap between Hongyuan and Liao Basket in this game is more obvious, especially in the inner line, in the case that Zhou Qi and Er Fei can't play, Hongyuan's two young centers are backward in all directions, and they can't score in attack and defense. Everyone felt sorry for Zhou Qi's absence, and Zhou Qi himself also officially spoke out after the game, telling everyone that he was really injured and couldn't play, and he had done his best.
Zhou Qi updated his personal social media late at night, saying that he was indeed injured, wanted to play G5, and wanted to strive for a good result, but his body really couldn't hold it. Maybe Zhou Qi didn't expect that the intensity of the CBA playoffs is so high now, and the intensity of the game makes him, a top local insider, unbearable. As for the results of the G5 competition, Zhou Qi brushed it off, saying that his skills were not as good as others, and he should continue to work hard. In fact, Hongyuan's most important job now is to reach an agreement with Zhou Qi on the renewal of the contract, after all, after the retirement of the United Arab Emirates, Hongyuan still needs a top insider like Zhou Qi to support the scene. This round of semi-finals has proved that without Zhou Qi's ambition, it is only a top eight team at most.
Du Feng and Yang Ming are-for-tat!
In any case, after the end of this series, Du Feng and Yang Ming are considered to have formed a bond. Before G3 Hongyuan won the game, Du Feng said that Liao Basket has the best players, and insinuated that Yang Ming's ability as a coach is not good, and then G4 Liao Basket won Yang Ming expressed envy that Hongyuan has Zhou Qi and has a very sufficient outside rotation. Du Feng and Yang Ming went toe-to-toe, and they were angry with each other until the end of the G5 game. Du Feng fired directly, saying that he was chilled by the injury of an outstanding talent like Zhou Qi. Yang Ming was unceremonious, and immediately said that he would not talk about the shortage of personnel, injuries and difficulties, and that if he lost, he would lose, and directly sarcastically said that Du Feng said young people and injuries every time he lost. It can be seen that from coaches to players, Liaoyue has really become the biggest enemy of the CBA.
Weems or retire!
Since heading into the playoffs, Weems has all but disappeared. Weems, who led Hongyuan to a winning streak in the third stage, is old after all, and at the age of 38, he can no longer lead the team to win as an offensive arrow. In fact, Weems, who was still at the peak of his tail two years ago, has already proved that he is really not good, but this year Hongyuan has financial problems, and the front line can only invite Weems back under the tension. This year's 38-year-old Lao Wei is basically sure to retire after playing this season, after he retires, when will Hongyuan find a striker like him who can perfectly integrate into the team, have the strength and be able to be such a team? Relying on Zhu Fangyu's vision, this is indeed very suspenseful.
