Chapter 198 Zhou Qi's Confusion

Wang Fei thought about this question, and he fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, Wang Fei woke up early.

I have to go to Cleveland today, so I have to get up early.

After washing up, Wang Fei packed his luggage and was about to go out for dinner when there was a knock on the door.

He went over and opened the door, his eyes widening.

A familiar big man stood outside.

Zhou Qi?

Wang Fei had only seen Zhou Qi's photos in media reports, but Zhou Qi still looked very distinctive, and he recognized him at first sight.

"Wang Fei, good morning!" Zhou Qi smiled and nodded to Wang Fei.

"Haha! Hello! Zhou Qi, I've wanted to see you for a long time. Come in!" Wang Fei hurriedly let Zhou Qi into the room.

Zhou Qi walked in bowed, a little cautious.

"Sit, sit!" Wang Fei greeted Zhou Qi.

"Well, why don't you sit down? I just came here to meet the team last night. I was supposed to come over to see you in the evening, but it was too late and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't come over." Zhou Qi said.

"Actually, it's fine. I didn't go to bed until late last night, so let's sit down and chat for a while." Wang Fei pointed to the sofa.

Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the sofa.

"What would you like to drink?" Wang Fei asked.

"Don't bother, we're going to have breakfast later, and then we're leaving," Zhou Qi said.

"OK then."

Wang Fei sat down on the sofa with Zhou Qi.

"Has the team decided to let you play the next game?" Wang Fei asked.

"Yes, Mr. D'Antoni decided to give me some more opportunities. At the same time, he also hopes to achieve a good story. After all, it is rare for an NBA team to have two Chinese players at the same time. Thank you, Wang Fei , if it wasn’t for you to say good things to me, I might not be able to come back.” Zhou Qi rubbed his hands and said.

Wang Fei glanced at Zhou Qi.

He was still a little skinny and not strong enough.

It is precisely because of this that he does not have the upper hand in the interior confrontation.

In fact, Zhou Qi also worked very hard in the Rockets.

He is always training hard, and he will do whatever the coaching staff arranges. He is a very obedient child.

Unfortunately, his performance after playing was unsatisfactory and could not satisfy D'Antoni. For this reason, Zhou Qi is now becoming more and more marginalized in the Rockets, and his status is becoming more and more embarrassing.

Couldn't hit the ball at all.

Wang Fei felt very sorry.

Zhou Qi also belongs to the kind of young people who mature earlier.

He played for the national team at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and his performance was quite eye-catching.

In 2014, Zhou Qi, who was only 18 years old, joined the CBA New Province team and won the CBA championship with the team.That year, he averaged 14.6 points per game in the Nova Scotia team. This performance was quite remarkable for a boy who was [-] or [-] years old.

He entered the NBA draft in 2016.

He was eventually selected by the Rockets with the 43rd overall pick in the second round.

However, after joining the Rockets, Zhou Qi's performance was really mediocre. He didn't score in his debut and got 3 boards and [-] cap.

In fact, in 7 minutes, it is not bad to have such a performance.

However, competition in the NBA is too fierce.

Rockets head coach D'Antoni has no patience for Zhou Qi to grow up.

Now, the outside world has been rumored that the Rockets are preparing to lay off Zhou Qi.

Wang Fei said with a smile: "Zhou Qi, your physical fitness and skills are still very good. Let's cooperate well in the future. I will help you find confidence. Let's fight for the Rockets to win the championship together. How about it?"

Zhou Qi was very excited when he heard what Wang Fei said.

"I, can I really do it?" Zhou Qi clasped his hands together, and his face was flushed red with excitement.

"As long as you want, I think it's fine." Wang Fei smiled.

Speaking of which, Zhou Qi is 22 years old, three years older than Wang Fei.

However, Wang Fei felt that he was like Zhou Qi's big brother.

This kid is still a little too shy, or the same sentence, he doesn't have strong self-confidence, and he doesn't play aggressively.

In fact, when playing for the Rockets, if you have a stronger ability to fight inside and play more aggressively, you can get a good stat even by eating cakes.

Just look at Capela.

Capela is only 2.08 meters, a full 8 centimeters lower than Zhou Qi.

With such a height, the center forward is a bit short.

But Capela is still playing well in the Rockets.

People give the nickname "Cake King"!
Why can Capela play it, but Zhou Qi can't?
For one thing, Zhou Qi's explosive power is not as strong as Capela's.

The second is that Zhou Qi is not decisive enough to play confidently.

"Okay! Brother, please take care of me from now on." Zhou Qi gave Wang Fei a grateful look.

"If you say this, you will be angry, right? We are all Chinese, and our compatriots should help each other." Wang Fei raised his hand and gently patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder.

This action is a bit difficult to do.

Zhou Qi is much taller than Wang Fei, and even when sitting on the sofa, he is much bigger than Wang Fei.

After talking for a while, the two went to eat together.

Arriving at the cafeteria, as soon as Wang Fei walked in, the members and staff of the Rockets greeted him one after another.

After breakfast, Team Rocket immediately left for the airport.

Detroit is not too far from Cleveland, about 270 kilometers.

So, if you take a plane, you can get there in no time.

It only takes more than two hours by car.

The Rockets took the plane at 9 am that day, and the plane landed at Cleveland Hopkins Airport before 9:[-].

Cleveland is the second largest city in Ohio.

But to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Cleveland has an NBA team, Wang Fei would never know that there is such a city in the United States.

Back then, he paid attention to NBA games, because James played for the Cleveland Cavaliers at the beginning, so Wang Fei also learned a little about the city.

Cleveland, like Detroit, is also a city in the Great Lakes Region. As early as the mid-18th century, due to the development of shipping, it immediately became an industrial town. It was once the center of the American steel industry.

However, as the U.S. manufacturing industry declines, the city has also declined recently.

The decline of the urban agglomeration in the Great Lakes region of the United States can be said to be a microcosm of the transformation and development of the modern American economy.

After the Rockets checked into the hotel, it was already past 11 o'clock in the morning.

Then, of course, lunch starts right away.

During lunch, Wang Fei and Zhou Qi sat together.

Harden also sat beside Wang Fei with his own rice plate.

"Wang, are you interested in meeting a beautiful lady?" Harden winked at Wang Fei and said.

"Eh? Who is the other party?" Wang Fei was taken aback.

Wang Fei was a little helpless, this Harden, does he want to pimp himself again?

"This, I will keep it secret for the time being, and she will come to visit you later." Harden said, "She admires you very much and wants to get to know you very much."

Wang Fei's mind was spinning.

He thought to himself, wouldn't it be Kohler Kardashian?

Last night, Kohler sent him a private message on Facebook, but Wang Fei did not reply.

However, Harden wouldn't introduce his ex-girlfriend to himself, would he?

This is too messy.

What's more, Kohler Kardashian still has TT now?
"Well, James, I think it's better to forget it, the game is going to be tonight, I'm really not in the mood to meet new friends." Wang Fei said.

He really didn't want to touch those messy things.

"Haha! It's okay, it won't affect the game tonight. The girl said a lot of good things to me and wanted me to introduce her. Moreover, I have already agreed. If I can't do it, it will be so embarrassing. " Harden said.

Harden has already talked about this, so what else can Wang Fei say?

He could only bite the bullet and agree.

Harden left with a plate of food.

Zhou Qi said enviously: "Harden and you have a very good relationship."

"If you can become the main center of the Rockets, you can also become good friends with Harden." Wang Fei said to Zhou Qi with a smile.

"I'm afraid it's impossible." Zhou Qi shook his head in frustration.

Want to be the main center of the Rockets?

That is to climb over the mountain of Capella.

And Zhou Qi felt that it was impossible for him to do this.

"Why can't you?" Wang Fei shrugged. "You have comprehensive skills and are very fast. You can defend and pass the ball. You are no worse than Capela."

"No, no! My speed is really not as fast as Capela's. Moreover, the current NBA style of play is not suitable for me. The offensive and defensive transition speed is too fast. And because I am too thin and have poor confrontation, I give the ball on the court. The contribution brought by the team is not great. I am also very confused! I think I am still improving very quickly, but I can't prove myself in the NBA." Zhou Qi said, with a confused and bitter look on his face.
