Playing tricks? The Japanese team pulls the jersey + face masking Gong Luming: Zhang Ziyu s body is green and purple

Before this game, the two teams had already played a warm-up match in Xi'an. In that game, the Chinese women's basketball team beat the Japanese team by 9 points. Overall, the performance of the Chinese women's basketball team in the last warm-up match with the Japanese team was relatively average. However, the 18-year-old young player Zhang Ziyu performed outstandingly and helped the Chinese team guard the penalty area, which became a key factor affecting the game's trend.

Today, the two sides ushered in the second match in Hefei, Anhui. The Chinese team did not give the Japanese team face anymore. In this game, all Chinese team members played, firmly suppressing the Japanese team whether it was three-pointers, free throws, inside offense or counterattack. In the end, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 93-61 32 points, ending the warm-up match between the two sides. The next time the two teams meet, they will have to wait until the official Asian Cup starts.

It is worth mentioning that today Zhang Ziyu once again beat the Japanese team's inside line. In fact, there is nothing unexpected about Zhang Ziyu's blowing the Japanese team. After all, the Japanese team is not outstanding in height. They mainly rely on three-pointers and fast counterattacks as their main technical characteristics, and Zhang Ziyu is exactly a problem they cannot solve.

Today, Zhang Ziyu once again played O'Neal-like performance.

In this game, Zhang Ziyu continued to play as a substitute, and each time he played, he had extremely obvious results. In the end, he only played for 8 minutes and 51 seconds, which was the least in the team, but he scored 16 points on 8 of 9 shots, and scored 4 boards, with plus or negative values ​​+12, and the scene was quite brutal.

Regarding Zhang Ziyu's performance, many fans remembered what the Japanese head coach said in a post-match interview after the last game. In that interview, when asked how to restrict Zhang Ziyu, Gaines said: "This is a good question, but I did think of a way to restrict her, but I just thought of it. I can't tell you very clearly now. If you are the head coach, do you know how to do it?"

There is no doubt that the head coach of the Japanese team was slapped in the face. He really didn't see his so-called way to restrict Zhang Ziyu.

However, it has to be said that the Japanese team has tried many ways today to cause trouble for the Chinese team's inside, especially Zhang Ziyu, and some of them even seem a bit out of the box.

The Japanese team constantly uses short players to card Zhang Ziyu's lower set, and even uses everything they want to defend. Including defensive methods such as pulling the jersey and covering the face. Although the referee did not call these actions, it still seems very unhappy.

Fortunately, Zhang Ziyu was very successful. She played toughly in every round. She only missed one goal in the whole game, and in just over 8 minutes, the Japanese team was defeated.

But even so, facing the defense style of the Japanese adult team, Zhang Ziyu, who was only 18 years old and had just summoned from the U19 women's basketball team, suffered a lot of losses. After the game, Chinese women's basketball coach Gong Luming revealed some details in the interview.

Gong Luming said: "Zhang Ziyu is the future star. The confrontation between the adult group is more intense, including pulling, pulling, pinching and other actions. She is already green and purple. Today, the intensity of the Japanese team is not high, and psychological training is more important than technology."

Whether it is the men's basketball team or the women's basketball team, there are many small moves when playing. This may be because they are not tall enough and can only rely on these off-board movements to get involved with their opponents. This way of playing basketball is really a very opponent's mentality, but it is often difficult to respect.

For Zhang Ziyu, we hope the team can protect her more. This young girl, who is 2.26 meters tall, is only 18 years old. I hope she can play games healthily. In the next 10 years, the Chinese women's basketball team will rely on her to support the sky!
