U18 Women's Basketball Asian Cup Finals, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the Australian team by 15 points at home, and the Chinese team lost to the Australian team in the last Asian Cup final. Although the Chinese women's basketball team lost, Zhang Ziyu's play was still very good, she played very awkward most of the first half, but from the last few minutes of the second quarter to the third quarter, Zhang Ziyu's play was very good, this period of time is also the best time for the Chinese women's basketball team, especially in the third quarter, the Chinese team even achieved the only few points of the lead in this game, which was established by Zhang Ziyu.
It can be seen that after gradually adapting to the opponent's high-intensity defense and pinching, Zhang Ziyu was able to take the initiative to adjust on the court, and then use her height to regain the advantage, Zhang Ziyu has grown a lot in this competition.
In this game, Zhang Ziyu also scored 42 points by himself, which was the second highest scoring record in a single game in this event. The highest scoring record also belongs to Zhang Ziyu, she scored 44 points in the game against Japan, in the history of the U18 Women's Basketball Asian Cup, the two highest points in a single game were all created by Zhang Ziyu, and the 42 points are also the most eye-catching individual performance in the Women's Basketball Asian Cup final.
But we saw that after winning this award, Zhang Ziyu was expressionless because the team lost. Such a personal honor does not mean much to her. After the game, Zhang Ziyu put the trophy aside, covered her eyes with a towel, she cried, it was very heart-wrenching to watch, this was her first trip to the international competition, and the result may not be so good, especially after the first few games went very smoothly, this is also the first setback she has encountered in her life, which is a good thing for her growth. There are even stronger opponents waiting for her next year. The Chinese women's basketball team will travel to the Czech Republic to participate in the U19 Women's Basketball World Cup to be held there. In the last World Cup, the Chinese women's basketball team only achieved the worst result in history of 13 places, and this time with Zhang Ziyu, the Chinese women's basketball team needs to break through.
After the game, in fact, the fans still felt very sorry. Although we lost by 15 points in the end, the difference seems to be quite large. But in fact, we have opportunities in the whole process of the game, especially in the third quarter when the Chinese women's basketball team narrowed the score difference to 4 points, all because of No. 8 Wang Jiaxin's excessive superstition about her own singles, resulting in the Chinese women's basketball team failed to hold the score when Zhang Ziyu was present.
After the game, she was also criticized by the fans, in fact, the commentator who served as the commentator of the game also said that Wang Jiaxin may be a star player in the team, but she must understand that now she has come to the international arena, and the level of confrontation is different, and sometimes our players do need to adjust their tactical choices and play more reasonably.
