Get ready to add a new name to your basketball watchlist: Zhang Ziyu. This 17-year-old hoops prodigy from China is making waves, not just for her incredible height (a jaw-dropping 7’3”), but for her undeniable skills on the court. Move over, Yao Ming – there’s a new giant in town!
The internet is buzzing with footage of Zhang’s dominant performance at the FIBA Under-18 Women's Asia Cup in Shenzhen. In the video, Zhang towers over her opponents, effortlessly swatting away shots and sinking baskets like it’s a game of pickup with kids half her size (which, let’s be real, it kinda is).
"It's like she's playing a different sport," remarked one awestruck viewer on Twitter. "Those poor girls don't stand a chance!"
In her international tournament debut, Zhang dropped jaws (and a whole lot of buckets) with a staggering 55 points in just two games!
During China’s opening match against Indonesia, Zhang shot a perfect 9-for-9 from the field, racking up 19 points in a mere 13 minutes of playing time. As if that weren't impressive enough, she also added 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks to her stat sheet – just for good measure.
