Zhou Qi went to the NBA as a water dispenser administrator, but Yang Hansen was optimistic that the upper limit was Jokic. Why?

Zhou Qi ranked 43rd in the draft that year, and after joining the Rockets, he became a water dispenser administrator. When he participated in the Nego Training Camp, he was said to have beaten Jokic, who was about 17 years old at the time. Jokic is now the winner of the regular season MVP three times and has won one championship. Zhou Qi got the maximum salary in the Beijing team, but was unable to lead the team to the championship. Now, Yang Hansen has not been optimistic about the draft market at the beginning, and has demonstrated strong shooting ability, back-to-single ability under the basket, outstanding passing ability, and high emotional intelligence. His love for basketball makes everyone feel that his upper limit for entering the NBA is Jokic. Why is there such a big gap between the two?

First of all, it was determined by Zhou Qi's physique. Gong Luming said that his physique determined that he could only play one good game, and he would have to rest for two games before he could get back his condition. This is a decisive factor, which means that his physique is actually not suitable for playing basketball. It is just that because it is so high, he plays basketball, otherwise it will be a waste.

The second is his personal willingness, that is, his attitude towards basketball. When he was with the Rockets, the only thing he could do was his franchise protection ability. His three-point shooting ability was really poor, and the team had so many experts who could shoot three-pointers, so it was his turn to shoot. He should have been to play back and forth in the inside, but he did not have this ability and could only float outside to shoot. This hit rate was too embarrassing, and he should have been shameless and brave enough to work hard to polish his inside skills. But no corresponding efforts were made. After going to play in the Australian League, it is said that his stewardess wife divorced him, and in the end he had no choice but to return to the country to play games. Now he is only 29 years old, but he has entered the state of retirement.

Yang Hansen and Zhou Qi have the biggest difference. He is very focused on basketball. His agent said that he is on the stadium and dormitory every day, and there is not much social activity. He is in a very good shape every day, without a girlfriend, and not much outside things to interfere with him. He is very proactive on the court, able to direct his teammates to run and also deliver very beautiful assists. The key is that his height is originally a player in the inside line and has very good footsteps and skills under the basket, which is his unique skill. Now after going to the United States for special training, he can shoot 36 of 50 three-pointers, 22 of 30 Chinese shots and 20 of 20 free throws. These are things that Zhou Qi cannot compare with.

After joint trial training, Trail Blazers, Magic and Warriors invited trials, especially in the Warriors' trial game, the data with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists was definitely the mini version of Jokic. This is also the main reason why so many people are optimistic that the ceiling is Jokic after he entered the NBA.

Zhou Qi always gives people a very casual attitude on the court. Perhaps it was not what he wanted, but because his physique was really not suitable for playing basketball. He himself said that he had worked hard and did not belong to the NBA, so he could only choose to return to China to develop.
