Where did Zhou Qi go? This is the hottest topic in the CBA recently. With a complete fallout with the Xinjiang team, one year after he personally announced his withdrawal from the CBA, the fans are very concerned about Zhou Qi's whereabouts.
On September 7, some media broke the news that Zhou Qi is about to play in Australia's NBL league . The two sides are currently in close contact, but whether Zhou Qi can make it depends on the face of the Chinese Basketball Association and the Xinjiang team.
Zhou Qi completely fell out with the Xinjiang team
Yi Jianlian After retiring, Zhou Qi became the first Chinese men's basketball team, although he made a fatal mistake in the World Cup match against Poland, allowing the Chinese men's basketball team to make a fatal mistake Missed the Tokyo Olympics, but to be honest, Zhou Qi is the first player in the Chinese men's basketball team.
However, due to contract disputes with the Xinjiang team, Zhou Qi repeatedly hoped that the Chinese Basketball Association would mediate, but the results of the mediation were not conducive to Zhou Qi. In the end, Zhou Qi and his team did not hesitate to report this. "Standing over", but the result is still the same, the Xinjiang team just won't let go.
After the two sides fell out, Zhou Qi announced on his personal social media a few days ago that he will withdraw from the CBA league next season. As a result, Zhou Qi's retreat was blocked by himself, and Zhou Qi would definitely not be able to play in the CBA league in the new season.
For a 26-year-old player, the fans know what it means not to play for a year, let alone Zhou Qi who eats this bowl of rice, so Zhou Qi is about to join the Australian NBL league to play. The news came out.
NBL league level is good and income is not high
Australia NBL league has a total of 10 teams. During the Beijing Olympics, the Sydney Kings and Melbourne Tigers have played many warm-up matches with the Chinese men's basketball team, but they have not played all the main players. They are on par with the Chinese men’s basketball team. Among them, in a game where Yao Ming did not appear,The Chinese men's basketball team drew with the Sydney Kings 79:79. It can be inferred that the average level of the NBL is comparable to that of the Chinese men's basketball team, and the overall competitiveness of the league should be higher than that of the CBA league.
NBL adopts a 2+1+1 foreign aid policy, that is, a team is allowed to have two international foreign aids + one Asian foreign aid + one future star foreign aid. The so-called "Future Star" foreign aid is a "Star of Tomorrow" program launched by NBL in 2018. The plan is aimed at high school students with outstanding performance in the NCAA in the United States. They invite these basketball talents to play in the Australian League for a year in the NBL league. Return to the United States to participate in the NBA draft.
Although the competitiveness of NBL is not low, compared with other countries' basketball leagues, the player's salary level is not high. NBL implements a soft salary cap system. Like NBA , it has regulations such as "poor line" and "luxury tax".
NBL's salary cap last season was 1.1 million US dollars (approximately 7.1 million yuan). The annual salary of NBL local players is generally around 100,000 U.S. dollars, and the salary of foreign aid is mostly in the range of 120,000 to 250,000 U.S. dollars. The salary of top foreign aid is about 500,000 U.S. dollars. Even if it is 500,000 U.S. dollars, it is only equivalent to CBA600. Half of the million maximum salary.
Even if Zhou Qi is counted as a top foreign aid, he will only get 500,000 US dollars, which is far from the 6 million annual salary offered by the Xinjiang team.
According to media analysis, Zhou Qi's move is not for money. He wants to play the game and maintain his state for the future.
Can Zhou Qi make it?
Zhou Qi After he missed the CBA, many media analyzed Zhou Qi’s way out. Some media believed that even if Zhou Qi went overseas to play, he would not be able to bypass the Xinjiang team because he needed the Xinjiang team to open him. From the perspective of the relationship between the two, the Xinjiang team will obviously not issue a clarification letter.
However, Jia Lei, a well-known basketball media person, said that in terms of rules, the clarification letter should not be a problem. The CBA league can only restrict Zhou Qi’s identity in the CBA. According to the rules of FIBA ,As long as the contract with the original team expires, the Basketball Association can open a letter of clarification.
There is an example to support this view. The national player Liu Chuanxing from Qingdao men’s basketball team announced on September 7 to join the Brisbane Bullets in the NBL league. He also did not sign with the Qingdao team due to contract reasons, but he It's not as loud as Zhou Qi.
As a CBA player, Liu Chuanxing can join the NBL league. Zhou Qi, who has no contract with the Xinjiang team, should also hope to join the NBL league.
