The group stage of the men's basketball team Asian Youth Championship ended. The Chinese team finally defeated their old rival South Korea 97-81, successfully achieving three consecutive victories, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with a record of 3 wins and 0 losses. In the reversal and overturning the South Korean team, Chinese young player Zhang Ziyi made great contributions to his performance. He played in 31 minutes in the game, made 10 of 12 shots, and scored terrifying data of 21 points, 20 rebounds and 4 blocks. After seeing Zhang Ziyi's brave performance, many people have already linked him with Zhou Qi and Yang Hansen. Will he become another Chinese player to compete in the NBA after Yang Hansen in the future?
This time in the U16 Men's Basketball Team Asian Youth Championship, the Chinese team almost sent the strongest lineup to play. In this Asian Youth Championship, the Chinese team also has many potential talents. For example, Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie are regarded as the most talented team in this U16 men's basketball team. However, in addition to Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie, the "four-character foreign aid", the Chinese team actually has two or three little guys with good potential. Although Zhang Ziyi's fame and popularity were not as good as Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie before this competition, Zhang Ziyi became famous in one battle against the Korean team.
Facing his old opponent, South Korea, Zhang Ziyi played the most representative battle. In the whole game, he showed his dominance on both offense and defense. Not only did he scored 83.3% shooting on the offensive end, Zhang Ziyi was also very shocking. In the whole game, he scored 20 rebounds, which made the Chinese team not suffer that much in rebounding. Moreover, he also gave the Korean team four powerful blocks, becoming the guardian of the penalty area. Under Zhang Ziyi's iron walls of defense, the South Korean team's shooting was obviously inaccurate in the second half.
In fact, in addition to the match against the South Korean team, Zhang Ziyi's performance was also very good in the first two games of the group stage. In his first group stage appearance against host Mongolia, Zhang Ziyi made 5 of 7 shots in the game and efficiently scored 18 points and 7 rebounds. In the last game, he contributed a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds. In the three games in the group stage, he averaged 16.7 points and 12.7 rebounds per game, and he averaged 2 steals and 2.3 blocks per game. It can be said that Zhang Ziyi played a dominant performance on both offense and defense.
Although Zhang Ziyi, born in 2010, is only 15 years old this year, his height has grown to 2.08 meters. According to Zhang Ziyi's age, his final height should be between 2.10 and 2.15 meters. In other words, he will continue to grow in the next few years. As we all know, the Chinese team has always been one of the cradles of super centers. Such as Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Bater and Yang Hansen, Chinese players who can defeat all sides in international competitions and are selected by NBA teams, without exception, are all big players.
According to Zhang Ziyi's current status and age, the last Chinese player who defeated all sides in the Asian Youth Championship should be Yang Hansen. At this year's NBA Draft, Yang Hansen has been selected by the Trail Blazers, becoming another Chinese player who has successfully entered the NBA. Considering that Zhang Ziyi is only 15 years old, his future still has unlimited possibilities. According to the growth rate of Chinese players in recent years, if Yang Hansen can successfully gain a foothold in the NBA, there should be more Chinese players in the future that can compete in the NBA. Will Zhang Ziyi become the next Yang Hansen?
