I don't want to be called a female Yao Ming, I want to go my own way, the U18 women's basketball team shines, averaging 35 points per game, and the MVP of the losing side of positive energy, she is the 17-year-old Shandong girl Zhang Ziyu.
Zhang Ziyu is the second generation of ball, her parents are professional basketball players, she is 1.6 meters tall in the first grade of primary school, and she has exceeded 2.10 meters in the sixth grade, and now she is about the same as Yao Ming.
The media compared her to Yao Ming, and Zhang Ziyu did not evade it, saying that "I will try my best to keep up with Chairman Yao", but she wants to be herself.
In elementary school, although Zhang Ziyu was much taller than her classmates, it did not prevent her from communicating with her classmates. She is very popular and is the pistachio of her classmates. In physical education class, the students played the game of eagle catching chickens, and under the protection of Ziyu, the little girls were very proud, while the boys preferred to play the role of the eagle who ran away.
Zhang Ziyu has a wide range of sexual interests, and was once obsessed with doing handicrafts and art.
Coach Luan Mingjie's WeChat name is Jiejie Gao, one day the training was over, she took the coach's water cup away, and brought it back the next day, the cup was painted with beautiful bamboo, which moved the coach so much.
Zhang Ziyu began to contact basketball at the age of 5, and received systematic training at the age of 8, under the tutelage of Luan Mingjie, the head coach of the Shandong Women's Basketball Youth Team, and he is very familiar with Zhang Ziyu's parents.
Luan Mingjie said: Zhang Ziyu is a rare player, and I hope to help her lay a solid foundation and live up to this talent.
In order to help Zhang Ziyu grow, Gong Xiaobin, a famous player in Shandong men's basketball team, also gave her one-on-one guidance.
The team also invited Sun Bing, a physical rehabilitation teacher who had served in the national team. With the help of Director Sun, Zhang Ziyu's strength and running and jumping ability have made a qualitative leap, and her dominance on the basketball court has also improved significantly.
In the women's basketball final of the 2022 Shandong Provincial Games, Zhang Ziyu scored 68 points alone.
Later, in the women's final of the U15 Youth Basketball League, Zhang Ziyu scored 62 points and 13 rebounds, which made many people remember her name.
In the just-concluded U18 women's basketball finals, Zhang Ziyu played 26 minutes, contributing 42 points and 14 rebounds. There is an obvious gap in the strength of the two teams, Zhang Ziyu was closely defended by the opponent with a wheel battle, the physical consumption was serious, and the help provided by his teammates was limited, and finally the Chinese women's basketball team lost to Australia 79-96 and won the runner-up.
After the game, Zhang Ziyu won the MVP of this tournament and was selected for the best team. After the award, Zhang Ziyu immediately took off the silver medal and shed unwilling tears.
At this age, Zhang Ziyu is an absolute bug, but she is not without weaknesses, and she still has a lot of room for growth.
How to use Zhang Ziyu well? How to train her scientifically? What height can Zhang Ziyu reach? Whether it is the coach in the circle or the fans, maybe they should be more patient and let the future of the Chinese women's basketball team grow into what she should be.
can be on par with Yao Ming, but she wants to go her own way and become Zhang Ziyu.
