This is too exaggerated! Yang Yi commented on Zhang Ziyu: Just the same height as Yao Ming, he weighs more than 60 pounds

Last night's women's basketball warm-up match, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team 101-92. In less than 14 minutes, young player Zhang Ziyu scored 18 points and 6 rebounds, which was very efficient. You should know that she is 2.26 meters tall and has a feeling of "leading ahead" when standing on the court. This height is not only rare in women's basketball, but even in the world, the height of men's basketball athletes rarely reaches this height. Moreover, Zhang Ziyu weighs more than 300 kilograms, so it is not an exaggeration to be called O'Neal of the women's basketball team.

Recently, the well-known basketball commentator Yang Yi said during the live broadcast that Zhang Ziyu is 2.26 meters tall, as tall as Yao Ming, but her 18-year-old weight is far more than the 22-year-old Yao Ming's weight, which is rare in the world. Yao Ming was only 120 kilograms when he participated in the NBA draft. Later, he went to the NBA to gradually gain muscle and weight. Zhang Ziyu now has more than 300 kilograms, which is more than 30 kilograms heavier than Yao Ming at that time. This is obviously not a normal and scientific weight.

The highest player in the Japanese team was only 1.88 meters tall. The difference between the two was 38 cm. It was not that they could not be defended, but that there was no way to effectively interfere or defend. As long as Zhang Ziyu gets the ball in the inside, the Japanese team has no better way except for fouls or watching her score. We ordinary people play basketball and are about 1.75 meters tall. When facing people who are 1.85 meters tall, they are not of the same level. This is just an extra 10 cm tall. Now it is a height difference of 38 cm, which is unimaginable.

Basketball is a long-term sport. The higher the height, the closer the basket, the higher the shooting rate, and can do better in protecting rebounds. However, if your height exceeds a certain limit, there will definitely be other shortcomings, such as slow movement speed, incongruence of body, insufficient physical endurance, etc. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Ziyu only played for more than ten minutes in each game in several warm-up matches. With such height and weight, it is difficult to play for longer games. In order to protect her, Gong Luming and the coaching staff of the women's basketball national team can only shorten her playing time and be able to maintain efficient play time during the limited playing time.

Speaking of this, Zhang Ziyu's weight loss problem has become an urgent matter. Seeing her playing on the court, her offense and defense speed is a bit unsatisfied with her teammates' rhythm. For example, she got a defensive rebound in the backcourt and handed it to the defenders to advance. When her teammates returned to the frontcourt three-point line and started to organize the offense, Zhang Ziyu had just arrived near the midfield line, which was a waste of time. Her teammates had to stop temporarily and wait for Zhang Ziyu to take the position. If she loses weight successfully, her movement speed and flexibility will increase, and she will be more threatening on both offense and defense.

Of course, there is another thing that can be used to lose weight to protect yourself from injury. Zhang Ziyu is only 18 years old now. When he was young, his bones are tough and have high strength. He may be able to support such a large weight; but in a few years, he may not be able to support such a weight, and illnesses follow one after another. After entering the adult group of the national team, the training intensity will increase, the competition will increase, and the intensity of confrontation in the game will increase a lot. What follows is the use of knees, ankles, lumbar spine and other joints, which can easily cause damage, so weight loss is imminent.

According to the standard weight BMI data, weight (kg)/height (M)², it is a reasonable range for ordinary people to be between 18.5 and 24.9, so Zhang Ziyu's weight should be around 125 kg. Now Zhang Ziyu's BMI value has exceeded 30, and has reached the range of obesity. Of course, athletes have high muscle density and need to store a certain amount of fat for on-field consumption. We can increase by 5-8%, which is at most about 130 kilograms. Now we are indeed overweight. Both the women's basketball national team and she themselves need to pay attention.
