On July 12th, the Chinese Women’s Basketball Team held a media open day, during which player Han Xu discussed the topic of Zhang Ziyu in an interview.
Regarding Zhang Ziyu, Han Xu said, “I’ve been paying attention to Zhang Ziyu since she was very young. When she was participating in the National Games as part of the Shandong youth team, I saw a tall girl come in to watch the game and had taken notice of her then. I’m very much looking forward to her growth. This time, she finally made a name for herself at the U18 Women’s Asian Basketball Cup, and I’m happy for her. I’ve always liked playing the power forward position, but never really had the chance. Except for a brief collaboration with Candace Parker in Sichuan, which was perfect. I’m eagerly anticipating Zhang Ziyu joining the ranks of the Chinese Women’s Basketball Team soon, so I can set her up with a few more assists.”
