annual salary
4 years, $5.57 million. Zhou Qi signed a four-year $5.57 million contract after being drafted by the Rockets, with annual salaries of $815,600, $1,378,200, $1,618,500 and $1,753,000 for the four years. To be honest, Zhou Qi's income level in the NBA is really not as good as his income level in the Xinjiang men's basketball team, but in order to pursue his NBA dream, Zhou Qi still resolutely choose to go to the United States to fight in the NBA league.
Born in 1996, Zhou Qi was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 43rd overall pick in the second round of the 2016 NBA Draft, and then Zhou Qi did not travel directly to Houston to join the Rockets. Rather, Zhou Qi officially signed with the Houston Rockets on July 8, 2017, only after helping the Xinjiang men's basketball team win the 2016-2017 CBA League Championship. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Qi also became the second Chinese player to play for the Houston Rockets after Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming.
Zhou Qi's career in the Rockets can be said to be lackluster, in the October 22, 2017 Rockets against the Mavericks, Zhou Qi came off the bench for 7 minutes, staged the debut of his NBA career, although there was no score, but took 3 rebounds and 1 cap. Zhou Qi's first score in his NBA career was on November 2, 2017, when the Rockets beat the Knicks, Zhou Qi came off the bench for 4 minutes to take 3 points.
Zhou Qi played a total of 18 games on behalf of the Rockets in the 2017-2018 season, averaging a pitiful less than 7 minutes of playing time, and averaging only 1.2 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.8 caps. While on December 18, 2018, Zhou Qi was officially cut by the Rockets. Although Zhou Qi's annual salary is not low, it is not a guaranteed contract, so Zhou Qi did not get the contract performance he deserved, and regretted that he gradually faded from the NBA league.
