Relying on Zhang Ziyu, the Chinese U18 women's basketball team passed all the way, successively won the Japanese team, the South Korean team, and finally lost to the Australian team, the failure was disappointing, but in a sense, this is also a good thing, let us understand at least four truths.
1. Winning in the next 8 years depends on Zhang Ziyu
Being able to win against the Japanese team and the South Korean team shows that basketball is still a long-term sport, with height and some skills, it is a must to win against Asian players. Even if the Japanese team's Xiao Kuailing, three-point projection practice to the extreme, there is always a certain percentage of hits, and Zhang Ziyu's height determines that she is nine out of ten shots on the inside, and her efforts in the face of talent are in vain.
Second, Zhang Ziyu alone can't win the championship
In the face of the Australian team, Zhang Ziyu can score 44 points, although Australia is not as tall as Zhang Ziyu but has strength, change to top you, let you lose energy in the fourth quarter, if others can't stand up, the situation collapses instantly, which fully shows that Zhang Ziyu alone can't win the championship, and it will be the same now and in the future, in the season that makes Zhang Ziyu more comprehensive, other players also have to improve, without Zhang Ziyu, we can't even beat Japan and South Korea, this is a fact.
Third, the training level of the Chinese women's basketball team needs to be improved.
The last U16, this U18 Chinese women's basketball team, fully shows that Zhang Ziyu can still compete for the championship and runner-up, without Zhang Ziyu Asia is at the level of five or six, which also shows that the selection and training of the Chinese women's basketball team are lagging behind the world, it's time to reflect, talented players are not there every year, without talented players, what should we do with the Chinese women's basketball team? Our system needs to be changed, especially for the training of players, and we need to improve qualitatively.
Fourth, there is no superiority or inferiority in the style of play, the key is to be suitable for the team
The ultimate goal of playing is to hit the ball into the opponent's basket, no matter what method you use, you can use the simple method, why make it so complicated? If you have the ability to solve hard problems, why do you need to run complex routines? Standing under the basket and throwing it in easily, why run tactics to play empty positions?
At present, the world's basketball style of play is popular with five small tactics, blurring the center, forward, and guard, and paying attention to the overall style of play, but this has higher requirements for players, and the tactical requirements are more complex.
There are talented players in China, why bother to sacrifice their roots, no matter what tactics, the tactics that can put the ball in the opponent's basket are good tactics, and the tactics that can win are good tactics. The five small tactics are highly appreciated, but with the current batch of Chinese women's basketball teams not meeting the requirements at all, without Zhang Ziyu, he couldn't score a single goal in the last four minutes, which explains everything.
