8. Chen Nan: Zhang Ziyu brings more hope to the Chinese women's basketball team
Chen Nan, assistant coach of the national youth women's basketball team and a famous women's basketball player, was interviewed by "China News Weekly" and talked about his views on Zhang Ziyu. She said:
He had never taken over the training of an athlete of this height before, and he once stepped on a bench and tried to think at the same height as Zhang Ziyu.
Zhang Ziyu is a rare talent for many years, which will bring more hope to the Chinese women's basketball team. Judging from the current game, Zhang Ziyu is indeed a point that the opponent cannot and cannot solve.
9, Zhang Ziyu: Strive to keep up with Yao Ming
Zhang Ziyu was interviewed by China News Weekly. Talking about her growing popularity and being compared to Yao Ming, she said:
Life is a wonderful journey, there are some things that we can't control, and I see height as a gift to me. Since everyone says that I am like Chairman Yao, I will try my best to keep up with him.
If I don't wear shoes, my height is probably between 2.23 meters and 2.24 meters, which is not more than Chairman Yao's 2.26 meters.
10, Mai Suifeng: Don't praise Zhang Ziyu too much
Media person Mai Suifeng posted a long article expressing his views, excerpts as follows:
Now there are loud voices that think that Zhang Ziyu bullies people by his height, there is no need to deny it, if you have an advantage, you are bullying you, but if you say "Zhang Ziyu only relies on her height", you are underestimating her. Zhang Ziyu has shown very good shooting and hook skills in the same age group in the game, with stable hands and soft touches, he must have worked hard to practice.
The Chinese U18 women's basketball team has been very careful to protect Zhang Ziyu and rarely let her be interviewed. I think both fans and the media should also cooperate with the work of the national team, just report and praise normally, and don't over-praise. Until her body is ready - don't push the seedlings to help them, don't rush to say "female Yao Ming", "go to the WNBA" or "go straight to the Paris Olympics". The speed and confrontation of the adult competition are not something that Zhang Ziyu can cope with at this stage, so let her grow steadily step by step.
