At the U18 Asian Championships, the 17-year-old Zhang Ziyu played a performance like a "big devil"! In three games against Indonesia, New Zealand and Japan, she scored an astonishing 99 points, an average of 33 points per game! Shooting is close to 90 percent.
So, a natural association and comparison is: What is the level of 17-year-old Zhang Ziyu's performance compared with Zheng Haixia, a famous tall center who is also in the history of women's basketball? Let's analyze and compare it horizontally.
17岁时郑海霞的表现
郑海霞是1967年出生，17岁时是1984年。 这一年，郑海霞已经是中国女篮1984年奥运会的主力内线球员了。 在这一届奥运会上，她场均出场17.2分钟，贡献7.4分2.4个篮板和0.8次盖帽，投篮命中率达到59%为全队最高。 她是中国女篮获得奥运会铜牌的主要球员之一，并获得了最佳青年运动员的称号。
Before the age of 17, Zheng Haixia was selected for the national team for the first time in 1983, when she was 16 years old. And she has already participated in the World Championships with the team, and in all three matches she has participated in, she has scored more than 15 points.
郑海霞是15岁入选的八一队，并随队开始比赛。
横向比较的几个要点
First, in terms of the time when she was selected for the women's national basketball team, Zheng Haixia was 16 years old and made her debut in international competitions in the same year. Zhang Ziyu is playing for the youth team for the first time at the age of 17 and has not yet been selected for the national team of the Chinese women's basketball team! However, I believe that with the outstanding performance of the Asian Youth Championship, it is a matter of time before the women's national basketball team is selected.
Second, looking at the game data, Zheng Haixia has been the key training object of the women's basketball team since she was selected for the national team, and has become the main inside line of the women's basketball team at the age of 17; Zhang Ziyu is at a stage where he is the god of the youth team, and he is already a completely crushing dominant, and it can also be said that he is "not allowed" to play with the youth team.
The third is the evaluation of public opinion. Zheng Haixia played for the national team at the age of 17 without any controversy about her ability, and the discussion was all about the next step in the growth rate. There are still some different opinions on whether Zhang Ziyu should be in the national team at present, and there is no Zhang Ziyu in the 16-member squad of the Chinese women's basketball team.
横向结论
In terms of phased development achievements, 17-year-old Zheng Haixia is higher than Zhang Ziyu! However, Zhang Ziyu's huge energy in the Asian Youth Championships will undoubtedly accelerate her growth and development. It is believed that the gap between Zhang Ziyu and Zheng Haixia at the age of 18 will be further narrowed.
