After Guangdong Hongyuan was eliminated by defending champion Liaoning, the whereabouts of Zhou Qi, the core of the inner line, attracted the attention of fans and the media. Before the start of this season, the Guangdong team used Zhao Rui as a bargaining chip to get the big demon Zhou Qi from Xinjiang. But his contract with Guangdong will expire at the end of the season. Although Zhou Qi has missed many games due to injury this season, once the core of the national team enters the trade market, it will definitely attract the attention of many CBA championship teams. According to a well-known domestic basketball media person @球界Inspector Zhao wrote: "What is certain is that the Shanghai men's basketball team will not join Zhou Qi's transaction this year. This means that the Shanghai men's basketball team, known as the first local tyrant in the CBA, will withdraw from the battle for Zhou Qi this summer.
The Shanghai team currently has Wang Zhelin on the inside, as well as Li Hongquan, the fastest improved player award winner in this year's CBA, and veterans Ren Junwei and Yan Pengfei. In addition, some domestic media broke the news that the Shanghai men's basketball team had negotiated with Zhou Qi many times before, but Zhou Qi's transfer transaction asking price was very amazing, and the Shanghai team could not be satisfied, so they had no choice but to withdraw from Zhou Qi's battle. But the Shanghai team, which aims to win the championship, will not stop recruiting this summer. Recently, a lot of self-media broke the news that Shanghai is very interested in Wu Qian, the core of the backcourt who is currently playing for Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank, and the Shanghai team is willing to send Yuan Tangwen, Dai Hao, Zhang Zhiyao plus some cash as trading chips 4 for 1 to complete Wu Qian's transaction.
As the offensive core of Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent, Wu Qian made a name for himself in the CBA league with his accurate three-point shot. In the 2020~2021 season, Wu Qian also won the CBA regular season MVP. During Du Feng's tenure as coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Wu Qian was selected for the national training team many times. This season, the 33-year-old Wu Qian played in 50 games for Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent in the regular season, averaging 15.2 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. At present, it is still the most reliable offensive point on the outside line of Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Leasing. After being eliminated by the Xinjiang team, the outside world unanimously believed that it was time for Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent to make changes to the team lineup and needed to introduce some fresh blood to strengthen the lineup. If this deal is completed, it means that Wu Qian will switch to the Shanghai team next season and join Wang Zhelin to attack the championship. With Wang Zhelin's attraction and containment on the inside, Wu Qian can get more space to shoot on the outside, and once Wu Qian finds a feeling on the outside, the Shanghai team is likely to form an internal and external echo, thereby improving the team's offensive efficiency.
In recent years, the Shanghai team has hoarded a large number of young players who have played in overseas leagues, and through this deal, the Zhejiang team sent away the star Wu Qian, but they have acquired three young players with great potential from the Shanghai team. The Shanghai team strengthened the team's outside offensive firepower through the introduction of Wu Qian, and the overall strength of the team has also been greatly improved. From these two perspectives, this deal can be called a win-win deal for Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent and Shanghai Men's Basketball Team.
