Chinese basketball finally ushered in a victory with gold content, the Mannheim Invitational Tournament, the Chinese U17 men's basketball team defeated the European powerhouse Germany team in a reversal, staged a free throw shoot, the final score was 63-62, and the Chinese team narrowly defeated the opponent. The Mannheim Invitational Tournament is a very high-intensity competition, which will gather top national youth teams from all over the world to compete, and it is also a rare opportunity for Chinese national youth players to face the world's strong opponents, which has great training value.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team was behind and was beaten 10-0 by the opponent, but fortunately, the talented striker Zhang Boyuan helped China break the deadlock by scoring with the ball alone. After the first half, the Chinese team narrowed the gap to double digits, and Zhang Boyuan became the first person for the Chinese team to win the comeback, he scored 13 points in the final quarter, including a key three-pointer when the Chinese team fell behind 55-59, and broke through to make free throws in the last 23.8 seconds of regular time, and then made 2 of 2 free throws to lead the team to overtake the score, and finally achieved a comeback victory.

At the end of the game, Zhang Boyuan scored a team-high 28 points, plus 10 rebounds, and his performance was MVP-level. So far in this tournament, Zhang Boyuan's performance has been phenomenal, with an average of 22.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in 5 group games, and a three-point shooting rate of 42.8%.

This is not the first time that Zhang Boyuan has performed well in the national number competition, in the 2023 Asian Youth Championships, Zhang Boyuan is also the national youth scoring champion, he averaged 20.5 points and 5 rebounds per game. At present, Zhang Boyuan is only a sophomore in high school, studying in Jilin Provincial Experimental High School, he is the team's scoring champion in his first year of high school, averaging 19.7 points per game, leading Jilin Provincial Experimental High School to win the championship in the North District, including defeating Tsinghua High School, the overlord of Naico. Among them, in the finals of Jilin Province, Zhang Boyuan scored 27 points and 3 rebounds on 13-of-17 shooting, including 13 points in the second quarter.

At this stage, Zhang Boyuan was evaluated as a "five-star high school student" in his sophomore year of high school, he is 2.03 meters tall, has super ball-holding ability, can break through with the ball, and also has a certain three-point projection. But Zhang Boyuan insists on taking the road of campus basketball, he was born in 2007, and is not yet 17 years old, as long as he stays healthy and enters the CBA, it is not a big problem, due to his outstanding ability to hold the ball, most people hope that Zhang Boyuan can go to overseas high-level leagues to exercise, so that there will be a higher ceiling.

With a height of 2.03 meters and the ability to hold the ball and projection, such a talented forward has always been lacking in Chinese basketball, can Zhang Boyuan make up for the lack of Ding Yanyuhang in the past?
