Do you agree? Yang Yi: Zhou Qi returned to China for 20 million in one year and was more than 1 million in the NBA. It is normal for human beings to not keep the NBA

Once upon a time, the Chinese men's basketball center Zhou Qi was the hope for the rise of the men's basketball team. Zhou Qi has absolute physical talent and was once selected by the NBA team Houston Rockets, which has allowed countless Chinese people to see hope.

It's a pity that Zhou Qi failed to survive in the Rockets and was unable to stay in the NBA. Compared with his talent and people's expectations, this is destined to be a bit regrettable.

Many people think that Zhou Qi could actually continue to work hard and strive for it, at least playing a rotation position in the NBA is better than playing the main player in the CBA league. Of course, these are Zhou Qi's personal choices, and there is no right or wrong. Yang Yi, a famous domestic basketball commentator, seems to have his own opinions on Zhou Qi's decision.

Yang Yi believes that it is completely understandable that Zhou Qi chose to leave the NBA and return to China to play in the CBA.

Yang Yi recently discussed on a podcast program why Zhou Qi didn't stay in the NBA but chose to return to China. Yang Yi said: "I can only talk about Zhou Qi here. He couldn't make a good deal there back then. When he came back, his salary was 20 million, plus the bonus, plus other things. Zhou Qi was only 200,000 or 300,000 US dollars that year. It was more than 1 million yuan to convert it into RMB, and 20 to 30 million yuan. So for Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi was not very willing to stay there. I think we just said that this is human nature."

Yang Yi continued: "We always say that we can do everything for our dreams, but this matter falls into our own hands. You will How to choose? The pick is over 40, and the second round is not guaranteed. The team does not have much patience with you. In addition, when Zhou Qi went there, he was not as mature as he is now. I know Zhou Qi. I think he was a child at that time. In fact, he was a very clear person. In other words, he was not so determined to go to the NBA at that time, but he didn't have to hold me there. How about it? You said it was mature. I think he was still a child, not as firm and mature as he was later."

As for Yang Yi's words, some people agree, and some people don't agree.

In my opinion, if Zhou Qi worked hard in the NBA, he would earn much more than the salary of the CBA.

If Zhou Qi works hard enough and works hard enough, he will not be able to earn a guarantee contract, and his earnings will be comparable to those in China. Harten, who had been playing time together back then, now has an annual salary of $20 to 30 million. If Zhou Qi can play in the NBA for regular rotation, even if he has about 10 minutes of a game, he will get a lot of endorsements in China.

Hatten entered the NBA one year later than Zhou Qi, and was even Zhou Qi's substitute. After playing in the Development League for so many years, they now have big championship contracts. Now seeing Harten's excellence, many fans will sigh and think of Zhou Qi.

Having said that, many people also think that Zhou Qi didn't think much about going out and working hard at all. He plays basketball like we go to work normally. He doesn't have to worry about it after work, and he may not practice hard. When I was a child, I could crush my peers with my talent, and I could reach the basket with one hand and I didn’t have to practice my skills at all. This leads to traditional centers not being either, nor is modern projection centers not being. In the end, I can only eat the height of my rice. This view cannot be wrong.

Besides, it may not be that Zhou Qi did not want to stay in the NBA, and perhaps it was because his competitive state was not enough to allow him to continue to stay in the NBA.
