Chinese basketball has been in trouble in recent years, once at its peak, the women's basketball team was a world-class team, and also won medals at the Olympic Games. Although the men's basketball team did not get the top three results in the international competition, it also reached the top eight of the Olympic Games under the leadership of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. However, as the men's basketball team entered a period of lack of success, the women's basketball team failed to make a greater breakthrough, and Chinese basketball was considered to be stagnant, and even somewhat regressive.
Compared with the men's basketball team, the prospects of the women's basketball team are obviously better. Li Meng, Shao Ting, Han Xu and other cores currently playing in the national team are at their peak, and should still participate in the Paris Olympic Games after 3 years, but the women's basketball team did not get a medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games (excluding the three-person basketball project), and if you want to go further, you also need new people to join, after all, the upper limit of the Chinese women's basketball team is to enter the top 4 or so, want to compete with other world top teams, and even win the Olympic gold medal, you need to have a lot of potential young players to help.
Just recently, good news about the Chinese women's basketball team came out. It is reported that the former Shandong team coach "Runaway King" Gong Xiaobin has now invested in youth training, and focuses on cultivating new stars in women's basketball and continues to contribute to Chinese basketball.
Judging from the video exposed a few days ago, Gong Xiaobin specially trained Zhang Ziyu, the star of hope of the Shandong women's basketball team, to teach her more skillful under the basket foot action, although Gong Xiaobin has been retired for many years, but during his tenure as manager, he has made many CBA players get great promotion, and this special guidance Zhang Ziyu, I believe it will also have a great effect. And the domestic reporter also quipped that he suddenly felt that the master was very "petite".
Zhang Ziyu is only 14 years old this year, but her height has reached a staggering 2.26 meters, the same height as Yao Ming's highest height, and Zhang Ziyu is still growing a body, and may even break through 2.3 meters. There is no doubt that height is Zhang Ziyu's biggest advantage, even if her figure is thin, but standing under the basket, she can easily perform a high lift.
Zhang Ziyu's mother is a former women's basketball player Yu Ying, in the sixth grade of primary school, Zhang Ziyu's height reached 2.10 meters, a small giant, she has attracted much attention everywhere she goes. After graduating from primary school, Zhang Ziyu joined the famous basketball school Tsinghua High School, which is equivalent to opening the road of career.
Zhang Ziyu's height has grown rapidly, and when he first went to Tsinghua High School to report, Zhang Ziyu's height was 2.21 meters, and just a few months later, Zhang Ziyu grew 5 centimeters taller, and his height has caught up with Yao Ming, reaching 2.26 meters. In the future, Zhang Ziyu should continue to grow taller.
Zhang Ziyu is a basketball genius, her dominance under the basket is very rare, and she may be one of the most talented players in the history of Chinese women's basketball. In July this year, Zhang Ziyu scored 42 points, 25 rebounds and 6 blocks in the women's group final of the National U15 Basketball League, leading the King of Shandong to win the championship.
Now, Zhang Ziyu's performance has also attracted the attention of Gong Xiaobin, and the CBA celebrity decided to personally tutor Zhang Ziyu. If Zhang Ziyu can strengthen physical confrontation training in recent years, and his skills under the basket can also be significantly improved, it is likely to represent the women's basketball team in the Paris Olympic Games in 3 years. In addition to Zhang Ziyu, Liu Yutong, known as the female version of O'Neal, is currently playing at Beijing Normal University, and is also a ruling inner line giant, there is no doubt that as long as they continue to work hard, Zhang Ziyu and Liu Yutong will be the future interior core of the Chinese women's basketball team, and may even become the world's strongest women's basketball inside line duo.
