A poster of Zhang Ziyu returning to the provincial team to participate in a friendly match was exposed, although Zhang Ziyu did not appear, but she should have returned to the provincial team, so that the hope of calling her to participate in the Olympics should have been shattered in advance.
In the previous U18 Women's Basketball Asian Cup, Zhang Ziyu shined, although she failed to lead the Chinese women's basketball team to win the championship, but Zhang Ziyu was still awarded the MVP of the game, she won the Most Valuable Player award with an average of 35.0 points and 12.8 rebounds per game.
17-year-old and 2.20 meters tall, Zhang Ziyu has become popular abroad, causing heated discussions around the world, and American netizens sighed, "I swiped the female Yao Ming on the Internet, she must come to the United States, she will rule the WNBA!" ”
Zhang Ziyu's dominating performance also made fans call for an exception to enter the national team and represent the Chinese women's basketball team in the Olympic Games. Why is there such a suggestion? That's because Zheng Haixia, the last such talented inside line of the Chinese women's basketball team, also participated in the Olympics at the age of 17.
In 1984, Zheng Haixia represented the Chinese team in five games at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, averaging 7.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game, helping the Chinese team win the third place in the Olympic Games.
Zhang Ziyu's talent even surpassed Zheng Haixia, and in view of the poor performance of the women's basketball warm-up game, the fans' appeal is also reasonable. But now it seems that Zheng Wei, the head coach of the national team, has no idea of recruiting Zhang Ziyu, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games.
