In the second season after the three major players were loaned to Inner Mongolia, the Guangdong women's basketball team once again reached the quarterfinals. In last night's game, the Guangdong women's basketball team defeated the Zhejiang women's basketball team 89-78, completing the only playoff in the playoffs. In this game, the players of the Guangdong women's basketball team have performed very well, but the performance of one of the players is historical.
This player is None other than Zhang Qifang from Taiwan. Zhang Qifang played the whole game, shooting 10 of 18, cutting down all-around statistics of 21 points, 14 boards, 9 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks. If you watch the live broadcast of this game, you will find that Zhang Qifang has an amazing presence at both ends of the Guangdong women's basketball team offensive and defensive ends. If it were not for Zhang Qifang's historical performance, it would be impossible for the Guangdong women's basketball team to win the Zhejiang women's basketball team. In the game, the Guangdong women's basketball team has opened the score many times and was chased by the Zhejiang women's basketball team, and when the team had difficulties, it was Zhang Qifang who stood up. The most valuable thing is that she is only 1 meter 74 tall, grabbed 14 rebounds in the whole game, and also contributed 5 blocks, which is difficult for women's basketball insiders to do. Take Han Xu and Li Yueru, the two most outstanding centers in the women's basketball team, who have not taken the data of 14 boards and 5 hats this season.
Zhang Qifang, born in 1993, already belongs to the veteran level in the women's basketball team. Originally from Taiwan Province, she did not enter the WCBA League until 2019 through the draft, and had played in Inner Mongolia for the previous two seasons, before transferring to the Guangdong women's basketball team until the offseason. In today's young Guangdong women's basketball team, Zhang Qifang is undoubtedly one of the most experienced players in the team. In the regular season, Zhang Qifang averaged 13 points, 4.6 boards, 4.9 assists and 2.1 steals per game, and her performance was very comprehensive, which brought great help to the Guangdong women's basketball team. And on the playoff stage, she has become the team's anchor, giving the Guangdong team the greatest help at both ends of the attack and defense.
The Guangdong women's basketball team can beat the Zhejiang women's basketball team, and Zhang Qifang is undoubtedly the biggest contributor. And her kind of hard work on the field is very worth learning from the young players of the Guangdong women's basketball team. In the next quarterfinals, the Guangdong women's basketball team will also challenge the first-ranked Sichuan women's basketball team, hoping that the young players in the team can fight like Zhang Qifang and play the style that the Guangdong women's basketball team should have.
