On June 30, Beijing time, the U18 women's basketball Asian Cup final will start at 6 o'clock in the evening, the Chinese team and Australia went to the end, the two teams will have the final battle, judging from the game data of the previous days, the probability of the Chinese team winning the championship is much higher than that of the Australian team, all because of the player Zhang Ziyu from the Chinese team, the 17-year-old girl showed amazing dominance in the U18 Women's Basketball Asian Cup, so that the world was shocked, Zhang Ziyu's performance is not limited to the offensive end, On the defensive end, she also showed great blocking ability and rebounding control, which made her an all-around star player on the court.
Zhang Ziyu is not just an ordinary basketball player, her performance on the court can be called an epic performance of basketball, in the group stage, her data is amazing enough, against New Zealand, Zhang Ziyu only took less than 23 minutes to slash 36 points and 14 rebounds, such a performance is undoubtedly domineering and efficient, and in the subsequent game against Japan, she set a new scoring record for the U18 women's group with a personal score of 44 points, and also received 14 rebounds, showed her strong dominance under the basket.
Entering the semi-finals, Zhang Ziyu faced a highly skilled South Korean team, and in this game Zhang Ziyu almost single-handedly changed the situation of the game, she scored 24 points in the first half, and finally contributed 34 points and 16 rebounds in the game, once again proving her unstoppable strength on the international stage.
From a height of 157 cm to the current 223 cm, Zhang Ziyu's growth story is almost like a basketball fairy tale, her combination of height and technology has made her almost an unstoppable force on the basketball court, as many media have commented, Zhang Ziyu is like a "cheat code" on the basketball court, and her presence makes opponents feel unprecedented pressure.
Zhang Ziyu's performance in the Asian Cup was impeccable, but she was not selected for the 17-man squad of the Chinese women's basketball team for the Paris Olympics, mainly because she was too young and lacked experience in international competitions.
Zhang's basketball career is still full of expectations, due to her age, she is not immediately able to participate in the WNBA, and she must be in her 20 years old to qualify, but her performance on the international stage is enough to make teams around the world eye, and her growth and progress will undoubtedly continue to attract the attention of the global basketball community for years to come.
Zhang Ziyu is the pride of Chinese basketball and a possible superstar in the future of basketball in the whole world, I believe that her performance in the U18 Asian Cup is just the beginning, and she will show her talent and potential on a bigger stage in the future.
