At 9:30 a.m. Beijing time on August 29, there was a breakthrough in the transfer incident of Zhou Qi, who suddenly published a public article on social media and announced his official withdrawal from the next 2021-2022 season.
Zhou Qi said on social media that he announced his official withdrawal from the whole season to safeguard the legitimate rights of the players themselves: this is my due responsibility as a player, I hope that through my affairs to make the CBA more standardized, and really be able to protect the legitimate interests and legal rights of players, the Chinese Basketball Association submitted relevant supplementary materials, I believe it can give me a fair and just ruling result.
This is a very important decision made by Zhou Qi, before that Zhou Qi submitted an arbitration application to the CBA side, the result was that these parties were both referees and players, and 5 shareholders were sent as a collegial panel to hear Zhou Qi's appeal, after rejecting the appeal, Zhou Qi Suiran joined hands to further submit an appeal application to the Basketball Association, there is no specific reply at present, but at this time, such a major decision to withdraw from the game was suddenly made, no doubt kicking the ball to Yao Ming and the Chinese Basketball Association.
Because for the current Chinese Basketball Association and Yao Ming, the cost of losing Zhou Qi is something they can't afford, in the 2019 World Cup, the Shame Group at the door of the Chinese team failed to qualify, which directly made the Chinese team finally miss the Tokyo Olympic Games, which is also the worst record created by the Chinese team in the past 30 years, Yao Ming has suffered a great deal of responsibility and trust crisis for this.
If in the next three years, Zhou Qi, as the current top figure of Chinese basketball, if he is absent from a year of competition, resulting in a sharp decline in status, there is no doubt that it will affect the preparation for the next Olympic Games, if the Chinese team can not enter the final circle for two consecutive Olympic Games, then Yao Ming will undoubtedly turn from a hero of Chinese basketball to a sinner, I am afraid that after three years, Yao Ming will certainly not be able to continue to serve as the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association.
In addition, some media revealed that Zhou Qi and Sui Ran are determined to help the hard steel to the end this time, if the second appeal was rejected by the Chinese Basketball Association, then they will choose to further appeal to the Asian Basketball Federation until they can get free. You know, if the lawsuit hit FIBA, then it is difficult to say who won, because FIBA did not formulate such rules for protecting the club according to local conditions, and FIBA will most likely determine that Zhou Qi has become a free agent, after all, he is already an adult free agent, and the middle also includes transfers, which have officially expired according to the reason.
Therefore, Zhou Qi's move to retreat is really forcing Yao Ming and the Chinese Basketball Association to the edge of the cliff, and this time the probability of Zhou Qi and Sui Ran winning is very large, because Yao Ming and the Chinese Basketball Association cannot afford to gamble.
