Guangdong Hongyuan team launched a fierce battle with Shanghai team in the CBA regular season, however, in this game, Zhou Qi was unexpectedly injured, which made the hearts of fans hang. Zhou's injury has changed, and his career and schedule for the season could be affected. If the injury is severe, combined with his previous back injury, it will be a huge blow for his entire career.
Guangdong Hongyuan originally planned to strengthen the team by bringing in three foreign players to compete for the championship. However, all three foreign players have been placed on the outside, and although the shortcomings of the forward line and the back line have been alleviated, the interior problems still exist. Zhou Qi was the only one who could top up on the inside, and his overuse led to an aggravation of injuries. Other young interior players were unable to withstand the pressure at critical moments, making Zhou Qi overburdened.
Now, Zhou Qi's state of "beating and injured" has been seized by the whole league and has become the weakness of the Guangdong Hongyuan team. In the playoffs, against the top teams in the league, they will make targeted adjustments to their tactics and staffing. Where the shortcomings of the position are obvious, they will target this position. At that time, if every team overconsumes Zhou Qi, his body may not be able to support the entire playoffs.
At present, Zhou Qi's injury situation is quite optimistic, at least he will not be reimbursed for the season. However, it is still unknown how many games he will need to recover and a few games off before he can return to action. Judging from the frequency of games and physical condition after his comeback in the second stage, if the Guangdong Hongyuan team puts all the burden of the inside line on Zhou Qi, they will not be able to win this season's championship.
Therefore, Zhu Fangyu and Du Feng need to readjust their strategies and find a blue-collar big foreign aid for the No. 5 position on the inside to enhance the team's interior strength. Otherwise, it is almost impossible for Guangdong Hongyuan team to compete for the championship this season.
