17 shots and scored 43 points, with a shooting percentage of up to 81%! The Chinese team will usher in the new era, she is only 18 years old

With the retiring of Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, Chinese basketball has entered a trough period. Not to mention entering the Olympics, it cannot even dominate in Asia. But as the saying goes, as the saying goes, with the growth and emergence of some young players in recent years, Chinese basketball is likely to usher in a new era, and in this new era, these two are the key.

First of all, Yang Hansen. At the age of 20, he was selected by the Trail Blazers in the 16th pick in the first round of this year and successfully entered the NBA. This also made him the third player in China to be selected by the NBA in the first round after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. Yang Hansen is still very young. As long as he stays healthy, he will not have to worry about the inside of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future. The second is the protagonist this time. In the recent Asian Cup group stage, she made 17 of 21 shots and scored 43 points, with a shooting percentage of up to 81%, helping the Chinese team win three consecutive games, and she is only 18 years old this year.

In the women's basketball team, they are 226cm tall and weigh 300 kilograms, and they do not have Giant disease. This way, players are simply a bug. You should know that the average height of women's basketball teams in various countries can reach 185cm. Few players can exceed 2 meters. When a player reaches 226cm, she is a giant in the inside line. As long as she is not injured, her role may be greater than Yao Ming's role in the men's basketball team, equivalent to 240cm tall in the men's basketball team, and even more. Such a player is honored to be born in China, and she is Zhang Ziyu.

Zhang Ziyu is 18 years old this year. This Asian Cup for the Women's Basketball Team is her first regular adult group match. In the group stage, she showed her strong dominance. She played against Indonesia in the first game, played 11 minutes, scored 5 of 7 shots, scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and played against South Korea in the second game. She played 14 minutes, scored 8 of 8 shots, scored 18 points and 4 rebounds, and finally played against New Zealand. Zhang Ziyu played 10 minutes, scored 12 points and 4 rebounds in 6 shots. In order to protect her, coach Gong Luming asked her to play on the bench and played for about 10 minutes. But even so, Zhang Ziyu still showed extremely high efficiency. She scored 43 points in 17 of 21 games in three games, with a shooting percentage of up to 81%, helping the Chinese team win three consecutive games. Her efficiency and on-field strength are too great.

At the basket, as long as Zhang Ziyu is in place and the ball can be passed comfortably, she is an invincible existence. But after watching the national team game, few defenders can pass the ball to Zhang Ziyu comfortably, and the referee also ignored the physical confrontation his opponent gave to Zhang Ziyu. This is actually a red flag. In addition, Zhang Ziyu is not without her shortcomings. Her pace is slow and she can only defend the penalty area. She still needs her teammates to help her defend and make up for defense on the outside. When she encounters a team with strong shooting ability, this is really troublesome.
