NBL fans think this is year of the Phoenix

SATURDAY 7PM

We may have just started the year of the Tiger, but NBL fans in Melbourne are hoping this is the year the Phoenix rises from the ashes to take out the title. The South East Melbourne team leads the league with six wins from eight games, thanks in large to star Mitch Creek. But Saturday’s clash against Perth is a chance for Chinese import Zhou Qi to feel at home for the Lunar New Year celebrations, and it’ll be hard to miss the man mountain who stands at 216cm tall. This will be a tough task for the Wildcats, who always seem to be near the top.
