The Beijing team lost to the Qingdao team by 10 points with a score of 89-88, suffering a two-game losing streak. This performance has left many Beijing fans disappointed, as it seems they have little hope of winning the championship or even making it into the top four of the CBA.
During the game, both teams were closely matched in the first quarter, with scores neck and neck. However, in the second quarter, the Beijing team had significant defensive issues, unable to stop Qingdao's key players, leading to an increasing point difference. By halftime, Beijing was trailing Qingdao by 12 points with a score of 43-55.
Why did Beijing lose to Qingdao? There are several reasons, including Beijing's poor free throw accuracy, with only 14 out of 29 attempts made for a 48% success rate. Additionally, their three-point shooting was abysmal, with only 5 out of 25 attempts successful, a mere 20% accuracy, which is clearly unacceptable.
Since Zhou Qi joined the Beijing team, he has been either recovering from injuries or dealing with colds, playing very few games. In this match against Qingdao, Zhou Qi finally returned to play. His return and the anticipated matchup with Yang Hanshen excited many fans.
However, Zhou Qi's performance was disappointing, as he made numerous mistakes and had a low shooting accuracy, making only 4 out of 10 attempts, a mere 40%. His free throw accuracy was also poor, with only 2 out of 7 attempts successful, less than 30%. It was even more embarrassing when Zhou Qi missed all three free throws, causing Yang Hanshen to laugh.
In the second half, Zhou Qi became angry with the referee's call and continuously questioned the decision. The referee, number 59, was not lenient and gave Zhou Qi a technical foul.
Unfortunately, this technical foul did not calm Zhou Qi down; instead, it caused him to lose control emotionally, yelling at the referee. At this point, referee number 103 quickly restrained Zhou Qi, preventing a potential fight. Seeing Zhou Qi's behavior, referee number 59 blew the whistle again, giving Zhou Qi another technical foul, resulting in his ejection from the game.
From the entire incident, it can be said that Zhou Qi essentially requested to leave the court. Obviously, this behavior is disappointing. When Beijing needed him to step up and help the team win, Zhou Qi chose to leave the court.
Fans felt saddened by Zhou Qi's actions, as he was finally back after a long absence but was ejected early in the game. Perhaps Beijing spent a lot of money to acquire Zhou Qi, but he is not the number one center in the CBA; he's more like a "big shot." What do you think, viewers?
