On November 9th, Beijing time, according to the Houston Chronicle, the Rockets once again sent the Chinese player Zhou Qi to the G League today. Two days ago, the Rockets sent Zhou Qi to the G League and had him play for the Snakes. In that game, Zhou Qi played for 31 minutes and scored 15 points. Yesterday, the Rockets called Zhou Qi back. After the training, Zhou Qi said that playing for the Vipers was a great experience, as it allowed him to get more playing time. Tomorrow, the Rockets will face the Cavaliers, and once again they have sent Zhou Qi to the G League today. Yesterday, Rockets head coach D’Antoni said that Zhou Qi would be with the Rockets for most of the time, and if necessary, he would be sent to the G League.
They are afraid that Zhou Qi will establish a development league that will attract more superstars, so they have called him back
Haha, it’s like treating him like a monkey. As I said a couple of days ago, it would be better for Zhou Qi to play in the G League; that way he won’t just sit on the bench and waste his skills, and he can also improve his ability to handle physical confrontation. After getting used to the G League, it will be easier for him to adapt when playing in the NBA.
Zhou Qi is still a bit behind the NBA standard.
