Hello everyone! I'm Badou, today we will continue to talk about the Chinese women's basketball team, but not the adult national women's basketball team!
In the just-concluded game, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team, and our Chinese women's basketball team won the first place in the group after winning the group stage of the 2024 FIBA U18 Women's Basketball Asian Cup three consecutive victories, which caused a particularly big repercussion and exploded on social media. Netizens applauded the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team, especially Zhang Ziyu, who scored 44 points and 14 rebounds.
In this match with the Japanese team, the Chinese team showed their strong strength and tacit teamwork. We had a firm grasp of the rhythm from the beginning, and from the very beginning of the game, although the Japanese team occasionally counterattacked, after all, the Japanese team was still a little bit taller, and there was no way.
In the end, we beat Japan 97-81 and the next game will be whether it will be South Korea or New Zealand, and we can win the championship if we win the opponent. However, whether we win the championship or not is not the most important, the most important thing is to see the future superstar of the Chinese women's basketball team - Zhang Ziyu.
Zhang Ziyu's performance was undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the game, and she was a huge wall when she stood on the court, and it was not an exaggeration to call her a "genius girl". Her dominance under the basket and her composure at critical moments gave the Chinese team an absolute advantage in the game. She scored a total of 44 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, 22 shots and 22 shots, only one ball missed, which completely crushed the opponent, don't look at Zhang Ziyu's height is as high as 228cm, but he is only 16 years old, just a junior high school student, and a few more years of experience will definitely become an important member of the national team.
Zhang Ziyu is a "seedling", but he has a lot of weaknesses, and after two games, a lot of them have been exposed. First, the speed is slow and the movement is slow, which affects the overall tactical execution of the team. The second is that the ability to hold the ball is poor, compared with Yao Ming, Zhang Ziyu's ability to hold the ball is very poor, and he can only rely on "eating cakes", so he will definitely not be able to play in adult competitions. The third is that the mid-to-long-range projection ability is poor, and once she can't get into the basket, it is difficult to play her role.
As one netizen said: "Zhang Ziyu's performance is the key to the victory of the Chinese team, and her fighting spirit and all-round quality are admirable." ”
Although the Chinese team was victorious, netizens also pointed out where the team needs to improve. The team needs to do better defensively, especially in a crucial game like the semi-finals, where the importance of defense cannot be overstated. We can't just rely on Zhang Ziyu, in case other opponents stare her to death, it will be very difficult, so the team's execution at critical moments also needs to be strengthened, team cooperation, everyone has to come up with better skills.
