Recently, rumors about Zhou Qi and Beijing Shougang have been like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples. People are speculating whether this tall and long-armed interior powerhouse missed key games due to conflicts with the team. However, the truth is often more complicated than rumors and more worthy of our exploration.
Zhou Qi, who has been a force on the CBA court, has recently been rumored to be in conflict with Beijing Shougang, leading to his absence from several important games. For a time, various guesses and discussions came flooding in, and some even began to question Zhou Qi's professional attitude and dedication. The truth is often hidden behind the mist, waiting for us to uncover its veil.
According to Xu Limin, the head coach of Beijing Shougang, Zhou Qi's absence was not due to a conflict with the team but because of his severe health issues. It turns out that Zhou Qi has recently been hit by a cold, with symptoms such as fever and vomiting coming one after another, causing his physical condition to plummet rapidly. In this situation, to protect the player's health, Xu Limin had to make the difficult decision to let Zhou Qi miss the game. This decision, although it made the team lose an important scoring point and defensive pillar, also reflected the coaching staff's emphasis and care for the players' health.
Looking back at Zhou Qi's performance this season, we can easily see his importance in Beijing Shougang's lineup. In the 7 games he played, Zhou Qi averaged 12.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks, which are impressive numbers in the CBA arena. His height and arm span advantage made it difficult for opponents to operate inside, and his defensive ability made opponents fear him. With Zhou Qi's absence, Beijing Shougang's interior strength was greatly reduced, and the team was significantly affected on both offense and defense. No wonder there were many guesses and discussions about Zhou Qi's absence from the outside world.
Zhou Qi's illness does not seem to be improving. After missing several games, he announced a surprising decision: because of the severity of his illness, he would most likely not travel with the team to Shandong for the away game. This news undoubtedly poured cold water on Beijing Shougang's fans, who were looking forward to Zhou Qi's early recovery and return to the court to fight for the team. After all, in the fiercely competitive CBA arena, the health and condition of every player are crucial.
Not only Zhou Qi is facing difficulties. In Liaoning, there is also a young player experiencing a low point in his career. He is Wang Lanqi, a young guard who once shone on the court. However, in a recent game, Wang Lanqi was replaced after only playing for 1 minute. Such a scene is unacceptable for any player. Moreover, the post-game comments by Liaoning's head coach Yang Ming made Wang Lanqi feel cold.
When Yang Ming talked about Wang Lanqi's playing time issue, his attitude seemed quite casual. He simply stated that this was an adjustment based on the game situation without mentioning any reasons related to injuries or tactical adjustments. Such an answer is undoubtedly a great disrespect to Wang Lanqi's personal efforts and expectations. As a young player, Wang Lanqi's every appearance on the court is driven by his love for basketball and his desire for victory. However, just 1 minute of playing time makes his passion and desire seem so insignificant.
Yang Ming's remarks not only chilled Wang Lanqi but also aroused indignation among all those who care about him. In the world of basketball, every player deserves respect and appreciation. They have paid countless sweat and efforts for their dreams, and every appearance on the court is a challenge and transcendence of themselves. However, when their efforts and contributions are belittled and overlooked, the sense of loss and frustration is indescribable.
As fans, we can't help but ask: Is such a way of using people really reasonable? Can the coach's decisions really lead the team to victory? Wang Lanqi's experience is not unique; on the stage of professional basketball, there are many young players like him who cherish their dreams. They may not have glorious records, but they also have a love for basketball and a desire for victory. What they need is more opportunities and respect, not being marginalized and ignored at will.
We hope that Coach Yang Ming can deeply reflect on his way of using people. Basketball is a team sport, and every player is an indispensable part of the team. They may lack in skills and experience, but their efforts and fighting spirit are also worthy of recognition and praise. As a coach, you should give all players the respect and opportunities they deserve, allowing them to fully display their talents and potential in the game. Only then can the team truly unite as one and face various challenges and difficulties together.
We also hope that Zhou Qi can recover soon and return to the court. His strength and condition are crucial for Beijing Shougang. Fans are looking forward to seeing him put on his uniform again and contribute his strength to the team. We believe that as long as Zhou Qi can stay healthy, he will surely bring more victories and glory to Beijing Shougang in future games.
