U18, Zhang Ziyu shined in the Asian Cup, why didn't she enter the national team
The U18 Women's Basketball Asian Cup started, and on the first day, someone caught the audience's attention and stunned everyone.
Who is this, it is an 18-year-old Chinese genius girl from Shandong: Zhang Ziyu!
I really didn't expect that this place in China turned out to be a place for big men. Even the highest Dutchman is amazed and ashamed.
2.28m, what's the situation? Yao Ming is only 2.26 meters! Girl, 18 years old, 228 cm, any data is amazing. Moreover, Zhang Ziyu has a strong body, but he is not stupid at all, although he moves a little slowly, his movements are very normal, and his steps are also very solid, especially the feel is very soft. Hold the ball under the basket, play high, methodical and very stable.
In the first game against Indonesia, she scored 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in a limited time. In the second game against New Zealand, she made 16 of 20 shots, scored 36 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists, and almost single-handedly won the opponent. Looking at this data, especially assists and steals, it is conceivable that a big man of more than 2.20 meters is dexterous enough, right? Perhaps, someone disagrees with this clever statement. But if you want to think about it, this is a big guy of more than 2 meters, what else? If she can run and jump, then she can pay it back, and she can fight alone.
It's already very good, and this physical quality is really enviable.
This is China, and it is China's talents. Don't be convinced, basketball is a big sport. If you're not tall, if you come to basketball, you'll have to work harder, and you're not necessarily successful.
Yes, the modern basketball concept is moving towards speed and accuracy. But the reason for that is because you don't have such a high talent, you can only choose in this direction. Use speed to crack the height, and have the accuracy to attack the basket from a long distance to avoid being blocked under the basket.
But if you have big players, why don't you take shortcuts? One height cracks them all, so why not use it?
It can be seen in the game that the backcourt took the ball and threw it into the sky in the penalty area, Zhang Ziyu took it, turned around with both hands and put down the basket steadily. A complex game of basketball, which she has simplified.
Looking at her state of competition, it is actually not simple, she must have been trained for a long time. She is very stable with the ball, very decisive in handling the ball, and the opponent is helpless against her. Because, she is the air superiority, you can't reach it, what can you do?
That's basketball, it's basketball-specific conditions, and we have it today. With Zheng Haixia back then, the Chinese team made the American team helpless. What's more, Zheng Haixia's figure is not comparable to today's Zhang Ziyu.
A tall man can simplify a complex basketball and set the tone with one shot. What's more, at present, our Chen Nan has gone out of the mountain and served as Zhang Ziyu's full-time coach. Who is Chen Nan? The Chinese women's basketball team is a veteran and an inside master.
As far as Zhang Ziyu's conditions are concerned, if she learns Chen Nan's kung fu, she will definitely be a lonely man. Really, no opponent can be found.
I don't know why I didn't make it to the national team? It is said that Coach Li didn't take a fancy to it back then. Today's national team has the original system. Therefore, this Zhang Ziyu can only impact the international competition in U18.
Fortunately, after training, it should be a matter of time before she enters the national team.
Let's not blindly pursue any world trends, in fact, you can't catch up. Recently, a series of warm-up games for the Chinese women's basketball team have exposed many of our own problems. When it comes to body, you can't stand up to the Australian women's basketball team, when it comes to speed, you can't outrun the Japanese women's basketball team, and when it comes to tactics, you don't have the Spanish system.
What else are you after? The conditions themselves are not too hard, can you pursue it? Ambition is great!
Ready-made conditions, original advantages, why not use it? Isn't it right to attack the other as long as it is? Zhang Ziyu is a strength, an advantage, and it's all over when you use it.
One high solves all difficulties, just like when we had Yao Ming, we directly entered the top 8. You're welcome! Don't look so profound, in fact, you are not that profound, you can use it if you have strengths. 2.28 meters is placed under the basket, which is a sharp weapon for a fixed-point basket, and it is put away.
Tactics were designed around her, and the four of them ran outside, opened up space for Zhang Ziyu, made balls for her, and let her shoot. Finished! Just like the point guard of the national team, Liu Wei said, when he threw it into the air, only Da Yao could catch it, and then, there was no more...... Withdraw directly to the backcourt and wait for the opponent to attack.
