Zhang Ziyu's successes continue in China's national basketball team. The world's tallest woman followed up her successful debut in the training match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she produced eighteen points, with eighteen more points in China's victory over Japan. At 220 centimeters, the 18-year-old is in some cases half a meter taller than her opponents - in the WNBA, the average height is, for example, 185 centimeters - and she is described as agile despite her size.
It's the first time she's playing an international match with a senior team, says teammate Han Xu after the debut, according to Spanish Marca. Her performance impressed us. I hope to play more with her.
Zhang Ziyu has come to be called the "mobile Chinese wall" in several places.
She will be able to demolish most opponents she meets in her life with that size, says SVT's basketball expert Nick Rajacic to the channel, and at the same time raises the question of the Chinese woman's tempo.
She is slow, so will she be able to do it at the WNBA level?
