Don t take risks! Yang Yi admitted that Zhang Ziyu should not go to the WNBA, as this height is prone to structural injuries

The Chinese women's basketball team won four consecutive victories in the Asian Cup warm-up match. In a live broadcast, Yang Yi, a well-known basketball commentator, expressed his personal views on Zhang Ziyu's future development. He admitted that Zhang Ziyu would better not go to the WNBA or play in American universities. Everyone knows that Zhang Ziyu is too prominent in the women's basketball team. He is only 18 years old, and he grows to 2.26 meters tall and weighs 300 kilograms.

Such physical conditions are rare in the world basketball world. Yang Yi believes that in Zhang Ziyu's situation, our own coach takes good care of him in the domestic training competition. The coach will make special training plans for her based on her physical condition. If she went to the United States, whether it was the WNBA or the American College League, those coaches would not be so attentive. Their training method may not be suitable for Zhang Ziyu, and it may easily cause Zhang Ziyu to be injured.

Yang Yi emphasized that if Zhang Ziyu's height suddenly had an injury, it would be structurally impossible to reverse it for many times. He heard that Zhang Ziyu had the idea of ​​going to an American university to play basketball, so he hurriedly advised everyone not to go. Such an inconclusive thing would not be possible at all. Yang Yi also said that as long as Zhang Ziyu is healthy, he will represent the Chinese women's basketball team in the future and stand on the court and rely on her height advantage, he will be able to contribute a lot to the national women's basketball team. Because she has big hands and feels very soft, it seems like there is a small basket on the edge of the basket. If she throws the ball to her, she can easily throw the ball into the basket.

According to the author, Yang Yi said this, because he really thought about Zhang Ziyu's career and health. As for Zhang Ziyu's own conditions, he is 2.26 meters tall and weighs 300 kilograms, which is a huge burden on her body. We all know that if an ordinary person carries a heavy object for a long time, his arms will be sore that he can't bear it. Her whole body will bear such a large amount of weight every moment, how much pressure will be on her knees and lumbar spine.

Moreover, the bone density of girls is lower than that of boys, and their load-bearing skills are weaker. The training and competition intensity is greater, so her body may not be able to withstand it.

From the training environment, domestic coaches are indeed particularly attentive to Zhang Ziyu. To protect her, the training plan formulated by the coaching staff was specially created. The team doctor also stared at her heart rate all day long, and even strictly controlled the weight of the squat, for fear that she would be injured. But if I went to the United States, the league and training there should be unified standards, so how could I change the training method for Zhang Ziyu? If she trains according to the routine in the United States, the risk of injury will be greatly increased.

Let's talk about it again. Look at the examples of Yao Ming, who is the same height, playing in the NBA. He has suffered a lot of injuries one after another, and his ankles and knees have suffered a lot. Zhang Ziyu's height and weight are comparable to Yao Ming, and his weight is even heavier than Yao Ming. We must learn from our experience and take good care of Zhang Ziyu. Of course, if Zhang Ziyu can maintain good health and continuously improve his skills, he will definitely be an extremely powerful role for the Chinese women's basketball team in the future.

So, after listening to what Yang Yi said, first develop steadily at home and don’t take risks abroad easily. This is the best choice for Zhang Ziyu and the Chinese women’s basketball team.
