This morning, August 29, Zhou Qi issued an official statement and officially announced his withdrawal from next season.
Zhou Qi wrote in a personal statement: "I announced my withdrawal from the whole season and insisted on safeguarding the reasonable and legal rights of the players themselves, which is my responsibility as a player, I hope that through my affairs, the CBA League can be more standardized, and the reasonable rights of players can be truly guaranteed, and I will supplement the materials to the Chinese Basketball Association as soon as possible, believing that the Basketball Association can give a fair and just ruling result." Zhou Qi has not been able to renew his contract because of the contract dispute with the Xinjiang team, Zhou Qi is dissatisfied with the salary situation and hopes to leave Xinjiang, but according to the rules, the Xinjiang team can leave Zhou Qi by issuing a maximum salary contract, and the Zhou Qi team then issued a mediation application to the CBA League Company to ask for leaving the team, but it was eventually rejected.
Subsequently, Zhou Qi reported that the Xinjiang team violated the salary cap regulations, and the participants mixed with a number of violations and submitted an arbitration application to the Chinese Basketball Association, which completely tore his face. So far, the Chinese Basketball Association has not given any reply to the appeal.
According to the regulations, the deadline for player registration in the new season is August 31, and if Zhou Qi fails to register at that time, he will face no ball to play. And today Zhou Qi officially announced his withdrawal from the league. Will Zhou Qi become the next Ding Yanyuhang? Or become another Sun Yue? There is still a win-win outcome, we will wait and see. Zhou Qi, where are you going?
