In the focus of the U18 Women's Basketball Asian Cup group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team hosted the Japanese women's basketball team.
The Japanese women's basketball team had just defeated the Chinese women's basketball team in the previous warm-up game, and the Chinese women's basketball team was determined to win this time.
In the game, Zhang Ziyu performed well, with a clear advantage on the inside, the Chinese team led by 3 points in the first quarter, and the Chinese team continued to lead at halftime.
Yibian fought again, and Zhang Ziyu played well to widen the score gap.
In the final quarter, the Japanese women's basketball team was still unable to cope, and Zhang Ziyu helped the Chinese women's basketball team win with super statistics of 20 of 22 shots, 44 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists.
After the game, domestic fans cheered for Zhang Ziyu, and American sports websites paid close attention, while Japanese media called the Chinese women's basketball team "cheating" on the grounds that Zhang Ziyu was too tall and beyond the U18 category, in a vain attempt to disqualify FIBA, but this is nonsense.
In the journey of preparing for the Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's basketball team can be said to have made frequent moves.
On the one hand, the senior team is training overseas, while our Chinese U18 women's basketball team is competing in the Women's Asian Cup in Shenzhen.
The U18 women's basketball team's performance in the group stage was a wonderful one!
They defeated Indonesia, New Zealand and Japan to win three in a row.
On the afternoon of June 28, the two semi-final play-offs kicked off, namely South Korea against New Zealand and Japan against Chinese Taipei.
According to expectations, South Korea and Japan have a high probability of winning.
Sure enough, in the semifinals of the Asian Cup on June 29, our Chinese women's basketball team is very likely to face Japan.
Speaking of our U18 women's basketball team, there are a lot of highlights.
The team has built the main lineup with Zhang Ziyu as the core of the inner line, and the 17-year-old girl, who is an astonishing 2.28 meters tall, is the absolute core of the team.
Her scoring methods are varied, her offense is versatile and consistent.
Looking back at the group stage, except for the one against Japan, which was a little stalemate, the other two wins were called an easy one.
In the group stage, the home game against the Japanese women's basketball team can be described as exciting.
In the previous warm-up matches, the Japanese women's basketball team defeated us, but this time we didn't let history repeat itself.
In the game, Zhang Ziyu killed all sides on the inside, won offensive rebounds in a row, and grasped the opportunity of the second offense to death.
In the face of Zhang Ziyu's strong inside attack, the Japanese team could only helplessly look for opportunities in the outside shooting.
In the first quarter of the game, the Chinese team showed strong momentum, leading by 3 points at 23-20.
In the second quarter, Zhang Ziyu continued to play a central role, and the Japanese team did not show weakness, using the outside three-pointer to bite the score tightly.
At halftime, the Chinese women's basketball team maintained its lead with 44 - 41.
In the third quarter, Zhang Ziyu took over the game again and led the Chinese team to a wave of climaxes, widening the score gap 71-57.
In the last quarter, the Japanese women's basketball team still couldn't find an effective way to deal with Zhang Ziyu.
In the end, Zhang Ziyu scored 44 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists with a super high shooting rate of 20 of 22 shots, leading the Chinese women's basketball team to a 97-81 victory over the Japanese women's basketball team.
This victory made domestic fans excited, and they all "raised the banner" for Zhang Ziyu.
Even American sports websites are paying close attention to her, believing that she is very likely to appear on the stage of the WNBA in the future.
However, there are some problems behind this victory.
For example, when the Chinese women's basketball team was not on the court, the Japanese players almost crushed our players in terms of technology, footwork, speed, etc., which shows that we still have room for improvement in the integrity of the team and the all-round development of the players.
But what is infuriating is that the Japanese media actually said that our Chinese women's basketball team relied on "cheating" to win the game, saying that Zhang Ziyu's height exceeded the U18 range, and wanted FIBA to intervene to disqualify Zhang Ziyu.
But the fact is that Zhang Ziyu's age has not changed, his height grows naturally, and FIBA has no height limit at all, and this idea of the Japanese media is simply wishful thinking.
Our Chinese women's basketball team has made full preparations for this event, employing Wang Guizhi as the head coach and Chen Nan as the assistant coach.
Under the careful guidance of the coaching team, with the addition of Zhang Ziyu, the team has become one of the favorites to win the championship.
The Chinese U18 women's basketball team carries the expectations of countless people in the future games.
We look forward to seeing them continue to excel.
In this process, we must not only rely on Zhang Ziyu's remarkable strength, but also pay close attention to team cooperation and the all-round development of team members, so as to add more brilliant brilliance to the bright future of Chinese basketball.
For a good basketball team, teamwork is essential.
In the follow-up games, the players need to cooperate more closely, think in one place, and work hard in one place.
When attacking, create more scoring opportunities through tacit passing and running; When defending, they echo each other and work together to form a solid defensive line.
Each player must fully trust their teammates and understand that the strength of the team is far greater than the sum of their individuals At the same time, the all-round development of the team members cannot be ignored.
This means not only focusing on improving skills, but also improving in terms of physical fitness, mental quality, and basketball IQ.
In terms of technique, in addition to basic skills such as dribbling, shooting, and passing, players also need to constantly hone their special skills to cope with various game scenarios and challenges of opponents.
Physical enhancement is also crucial.
Good fitness is the foundation for maintaining a high level of performance in the heat of competition.
Through scientific training, the speed, strength, endurance and flexibility are improved, so that the players can be more competitive on the field.
The cultivation of psychological quality is also indispensable.
In the game, pressure and challenges are everywhere, and players need to have perseverance, emotional stability and strong self-confidence.
Stay calm at critical moments, not be affected by difficulties and setbacks, and be able to withstand pressure and perform at the level it deserves.
In addition, the increase in basketball IQ helps players better understand the game, read opponents' tactics, and make informed decisions.
Learning to observe the situation on the field, grasp the moment, and use tactics rationally will make the overall performance of the team to the next level.
In the future journey, no matter what opponents and challenges we face, we firmly believe that the Chinese U18 women's basketball team can move forward bravely.
They will continue to carry forward the spirit of unity and cooperation, give full play to the advantages of each team member, and constantly improve the overall strength.
Zhang Ziyu will also play a better role in the team and work hard with his teammates.
The coaching team will also formulate more reasonable and effective tactical arrangements according to the game situation and the characteristics of the opponent.
Let's look forward to the Chinese U18 women's basketball team continuing to shine in the follow-up games!
Every progress they make and every wonderful game will inspire more young people to love basketball and devote themselves to basketball.
I believe that with their efforts, the future of Chinese basketball will be more brilliant!
