May 19, Beijing time. On the stage of the CBA finals, the veteran Han Dejun of the Liaoning team once again proved his strength at the age of 37, while the Guangdong men's basketball team faced the problem of Zhou Qi's stay, which undoubtedly became the focus of heated discussions among basketball fans.
First, let's focus on the CBA Finals. Liaoning started with two straight wins and appear to be on their way to their fourth title. However, compared to previous years, this year's Grand Final seems to be a little less suspenseful and tense, and the first game is even less enjoyable to watch than the preseason, much to the disappointment of many fans. Despite this, the outstanding performance of veteran Han Dejun added a touch of brightness to the game. In the first game, he dominated the restricted area with an astonishing stats of 23 points and 6 rebounds, and still maintained a high efficiency in the second game.
At the same time, the performance of Abudu, the MVP of the regular season, in the finals was a big surprise. As a key player in the Xinjiang team, he failed to perform well in both games, which led to questions and criticism from the outside world. While other players such as Ferg and Wigginton showed excellent form in the finals and became the favorites to compete for the FMVP.
Next, let's turn to the question of the Guangdong men's basketball team and Zhou Qi's whereabouts. Zhou Qi is a star player in Chinese basketball, and the signing fee required to join the team has become a major factor in the competition between teams. It is reported that Zhou Qi wants to get a contract with a maximum salary, which means that the team needs to pay a huge signing fee. This is also one of the main reasons why he left the Xinjiang team before.
Although the Guangdong men's basketball team expressed its willingness to do its best to keep Zhou Qi, the high signing fee became an insurmountable obstacle for them. In the past year, Guangdong have only signed one short-term contract, which shows that they are not very optimistic financially. Although Zhou's performance on the pitch has helped the team a lot, the fee to sign him is not a small challenge.
In the CBA league, there are not many clubs with financial resources. In addition to Guangdong, teams like Beijing Shougang, Beijing BAIC and Shanghai also have the ability to compete for Zhou Qi. However, these teams already have their own top-paid players, and there are still questions about whether they are willing to pay a hefty signing fee.
When Zhou Qi was with Guangdong this season, injuries continued to affect his performance. This also further reduces his value in the trading market. Still, he's one of the top players a CBA team can dream of. In the future, which team Zhou Qi will choose to become his next home has also become the focus of attention of the majority of fans.
Although the CBA Finals had a clear lead, the rise of veterans and the controversy over MVPs made the game even more confusing, making it difficult to predict the final outcome. And the question of Zhou Qi's stay also affects the hearts of countless basketball fans. In this season full of uncertainties, we look forward to seeing more wonderful performances and looking forward to Zhou Qi having a better basketball career in the future.
