China's big win over Japan, look at the fans' statements
The Chinese women's basketball team has achieved 1 win and 4 losses in five warm-up matches in Asia, and lost to the Spanish team in Europe, and the strength of the Chinese women's basketball team has also been questioned by the majority of fans, the Chinese U18 women's basketball team can win all three games, which is in stark contrast to the Chinese women's basketball team, which can be said to be very morale-boosting, and also brought surprises to the majority of Chinese fans.
(1) Zhang Ziyu's dominance is too terrifying, it can be said that he defeated the Japanese team by himself, and he was not selected for last year's women's basketball team U16 at this level.
(2) I watched the game in '97 until now, and I have never seen this kind of giant in various basketball leagues. Standing on the inside, you don't have to dribble, just throw it into the basket [cover your face] [cover your face] [cover your face]. The Chinese women's basketball team has entered the first echelon of the world and can compete with the United States for the championship.
(3) I don't remember how many years I haven't laughed so happily for so long, it should be nearly two hours, [laughs] [laughs]! Watching our super treasure play and pinch the Japanese team, super good mood, not nervous, laughing and laughing and drinking confused [cover face] [cover face] [cover face] [cover face] [cover face] [cover face]
The above is the most representative voice of the majority of fans, and it can be seen that the majority of fans are ecstatic to be able to defeat the Japanese team in this game. It has brought endless happiness to the majority of Chinese fans, but at the same time we also recognize our own shortcomings, although Zhang Ziyu's absolute dominance on the inside, but it is difficult to hide the mediocrity of other players, although we beat the Japanese team, but in all fairness, there is still a certain gap between the mainland U18 women's basketball team and the Japanese team, and the mainland women's basketball team has a certain gap with Japan in terms of technology, ball transfer, shooting percentage, online three-point or Japan. If it weren't for the appearance of Zhang Ziyu, it would be difficult for the Chinese team to win against the Japanese team.
The voice of foreign media
After the three group games, China's "female version of Yao Ming" Zhang Ziyu slashed 99+34 data, completely dominating the inner line, and the inner giant was vividly embodied. Zhang Ziyu's outstanding performance has attracted the attention of many American media, and they are also very optimistic about Zhang Ziyu's future, and she is optimistic that she will land in the United States Women's Basketball League (WNBA League) at a better level in the future."
At the same time, her outstanding performance has also caused concern among other teams in the U18 women's basketball team, a healthy Zhang Ziyu is a dimensionality reduction blow on the court, and other teams are desperate in the face of Zhang Ziyu! Here, the editor also hopes that U18 women's basketball players like Zhang Ziyu can always pay attention to protecting their health, play their due level, and win more games on behalf of the Chinese women's basketball team, and also hope to attract the attention of the Chinese women's basketball team and call Zhang Ziyu and Dabao into the national team as soon as possible, so that the combination of the mainland women's basketball team Li Meng, Han Xu, Wang Siyu, Zhang Ziyu, Dabaobao, and Li Yueru is estimated to be frightened in the United States. What do you think about this?
