Live broadcast on October 12th news Lone Ranger Coach Kidd praised Dong Qiqi in an interview this week. Kidd believes that Dong Qiqi will always be in the discussion of MVP.
“Judging from the way Dong Qiqi plays, he will always be the discussion object of the most valuable player. I think he will always be in this discussion in the new season.” Kidd said, “Dong Qiqi is one of the best players in the world. I don’t know whether the fifth year of a player’s career is a benchmark, but Dong Qiqi will better understand the league. With his talent, he can always make his teammates better.”
“We always judge whether international players are fully integrated into NBA and adapted to American life according to their performance on the court, but this actually involves some family factors, pet factors and so on. As for Dong Qiqi, he needs to take care of his pet dog, and he sometimes misses home.” Kidd continued, “in his fifth year, there may be such a situation-you won’t be so homesick, you will be excited about this season. So, maybe the fifth year will be a year when he feels more comfortable.”
Dong Qiqi is a flower show in 2018, and the new season will be his fifth year in NBA. In addition to winning the best rookie in 2019, he ranked sixth, fourth and fifth in the MVP selection in 2020, 2021 and 2022 respectively.
