Quietly, the 2024 U18 Women's Basketball Asian Cup has come to an end. In the final, the Chinese women's basketball team lost to the Australian women's basketball team and missed the championship. In this game, Zhang Ziyu still played well, scoring 42 points and 14 rebounds in the whole game.
In this U18 Asian Cup game, although the Chinese women's basketball team missed the championship, Zhang Ziyu, who is 2.23 meters tall, convinced everyone with his eye-catching performance, so that many fans have named Zhang Ziyu the "successor of Zheng Haixia".
Indeed, Zheng Haixia and Zhang Ziyu are both interior players. Zheng Haixia at her peak was a big killer in the international arena. Even, it is not an exaggeration to call her the overlord of the inside line. It can be said that Zheng Haixia once ruled an era.
It is undeniable that the young Zhang Ziyu has shown his super dominance on the inside. But in the faster-paced international arena, it is still unknown whether Zhang Ziyu can play to his advantages. Of course, for the Chinese women's basketball team, it is undoubtedly a good sign that excellent seedlings can appear one after another.
As we all know, the Chinese women's basketball team is the pride of China. In the next Paris Olympics, the goal of the Chinese women's basketball team is very clear, that is, to do its best to hit the Olympic gold medal. Although in the history of the women's basketball Olympics, Zheng Haixia has led the Chinese team to win a silver medal, but the gold medal, the Chinese women's basketball team has never been touched. Many fans may be interested, where did Zheng Haixia go after leaving the stadium?
No, at the first Hemei Village Basketball Competition held in Shenmu City, 57-year-old Zheng Haixia made a rare appearance. Judging by the photos, the 57-year-old is in very good spirits. When taking photos with a group of men's basketball celebrities, Zheng Haixia also kept smiling.
Although she is 57 years old and has been retired for many years, Zheng Haixia's love and attention to basketball has not diminished in the slightest. In order to promote the development of Chinese basketball, Zheng Haixia has been doing her best. However, it is a pity that the 57-year-old Zheng Haixia has no children and no daughters.
In an interview with reporters, Zheng Haixia explained this issue. Because she didn't want the next generation to be at risk of genetic mutations, Zheng Haixia never had plans to get pregnant. Indeed, in some moments, when Zheng Haixia saw that her former friends who fought side by side were now full of children and grandchildren, she would feel a little lonely in her heart.
However, most of the time, Zheng Haixia's mentality is very positive and optimistic, and she has been trying to manage her life well. Thankfully, Zheng Haixia's physical condition is very good. It's just that as she gets older, her legs are more and more deformed.
It is worth mentioning that whenever Zheng Haixia is mentioned, some netizens will talk about her husband – Xu Qinghua. Before she knew it, her husband had disappeared for 7 years. From being inseparable when they first got married, to now that there is no news, many fans speculate whether the two have divorced. Of course, these are just speculations. In any case, I wish Zheng Haixia and wish her good health and all the best!
