On the 17th, the Chinese Basketball Association announced the results of the investigation and corresponding punishment for the violation of Xinjiang Guanghui proposed by Zhou Qi. Xinjiang Guanghui has registered violations and is punished accordingly. Although the Basketball Association did not publish the relevant information about Zhou Qi in the official letter, the relevant person clearly stated in an interview with Xinhua News Agency: Zhou Qi restored his “free body”.
According to the relevant regulations of the league, the claim and registration of free players are in mid-to-late January and have been completed so far. Unless the league company will do something special for Zhou Qi and ask for the approval of the league team, theoretically Zhou Qi cannot compete in CBA this season.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Qi will make a decision to join this summer. Undoubtedly, if there is no NBA chance, then returning to CBA will be the best choice. In the past two seasons, Qi Zhou made a decision to play in Australia when returning to CBA could not be achieved. Especially before this season. Now, when he can return to CBA with “free body”, then this will be the best choice.
Where Zhou Qi is going will once again become the hottest topic in Chinese basketball. After Zhou Qi returned from NBA last time, the outside world paid great attention to his whereabouts. At that time, the Liaoning team was the closest to Zhou Qi. Now, when other teams have such possibilities and opportunities, they are bound to fight hard to get the player who can change the competition pattern to a certain extent.
