@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 Whilst that may be true, let's not act like having a teenager over 7 feet tall in an under 18 girls' competition ISN'T a major height advantage too. The tallest Australian girl is 6'4", almost a foot shorter than Zhang. So as the original commenter said, it is true, both teams have height.
Australia is a better team. China only has no. 19, the rest of the team are average. Also, the coaching staff has to develop a strategy not depending on one super player. Every time no. 19 is out, the other teams are catching up. Without no.19, I think china will lose to Japan and Korea. It is that bad.
Agree. The coach and the rest of team need to spend more time practicing. Though, taking into consideration that Chinese players at this age have to spend much more time in text books than their peers, you can say that they have done their best and pretty productive. The main drawback is the whole Education system behind.
Totally agree! Au team has at least 3 big and tall players unlike China only have 1 tall player name Zhang. That's why China lost. 1 tall vs 3 tall. Australia has unfair advantage! China lost by zhang zhi yu inconsistent team mates shootings. The only one who has the skills and consistency and consistently shooting accurately and nip goals in is Zhang in the China team. Comparing to the Aussies who won is because they have 3 tall players vs China just 1 tall player and Aussie has more players that scores consistently and won with Teamwork and keeps netting in goals consistently. No doubt Aussies won.
Australia is world class. China has a once-in-a-thousand-year super talent, 228 cm human shield Zhang Ziyu and fought hard throughout the game, but still got outclassed by the skillful Aussies.
You’re right bro, except Zhang having phenomenal ability, her teammates are not good😢😢 I nearly have a brain hemorrhage watching her teammates’ performance, so bad…
@@yyg2015 you do not take the cause by this huge great wall who can't moveinto account, which not only taking up space for opponent but also the teammate. You can't spin drive left or right because of her taking up the space. When you shoot you have to shoot over her who is blocking your views. She literally limited a lot of offense options for her teammate when she is on court, that is why they pass it to her and let her do her work. Only if she can move and create space, she is just a burden
I beg to differ about the tall girl. From the first match till now, she's using her height to her advantage which is absolutely fair in basketball but she's bulky, has poor reflex and can't jump well. Where's the skill? That's not a talent in my opinion.

China has a great wall of china, Ziya will be amazing once she work on her shooting and defending as her peers they need to improve shooting! Australia very dominant all class players! Well done Australia!!
Skills different,except zhang ziyu score 40 points (even she miss alot chance too), like watch pro play with amateur Australia players score easily meanwhile china player can't score even have space always miss😂😂 when china lead 61-56 skills different show laters in games 4 Australia score easy😂😂
Big but clumsy , need to learn some spin moves and stronger butt to push towards the rim from Oneal. China coach need to change . Defensive and offensive looks chaotic .

Australia vs Zhang obviously Aus won! (zhang team mates doesn’t help her with their inconsistantly shootings), i will rather they keep giving the ball to zhang to go to the scoring board instead of trying to selfishly shoot! No doubts aussie will win! Haha!
Zhang was the only one who scores and performed the best on court who is scoring constantly in China team. The one who caused China to fall is zhang teammates keep missing the nets and shootings were inconsistent. Only scoring person is Zhang in the China team. Comparing to the Aussies who won is because they have 3 tall players vs China just 1 tall player and Aussie has more players that scores consistently and won with Teamwork and keeps netting in goals consistently.

Seems to me that Zhang commits an offensive foul, clearing out with her left elbow every single time she receives the ball in the post (and rolls). Don't think it was called once? Any refs out there care to comment? Am I just misinterpreting the law there?
Three points. 1. Zhang is going to be a big deal, obviously naturally gifted in terms of body, but also plays her role with great skill. 2. China would have lost by >30pts if Zhang wasn't there, and probably wouldn't have reached finals. 3. Zhang's size slows her down, which means many plays end up 5 v 4 in Australia's favour. This will be something China needs to address, otherwise teams like Aus, USA, and top Euro teams will consistently dominate them.
Ngl some of the foul calls on Australia are bullshit. Even with this gargantuan advantage they still resort to cheap tricks. Home cooking at its finest.
I know a lot of people were optimistic and hyped about this Chinese squad, especially due to Zhang Ziyu, so I'm sure many were disappointed with the result today. But in saying that making the final is still a great achievement and the Chinese girls definitely had some moments today worthy of all the hype and optimism! However Australia showed why they are a force in women's basketball and came in with a solid gameplan, they executed well, and the girls were able to maintain their composure at some critical junctures which is ultimately why they came away with the win. Congrats to both teams and to Japan as well on sealing the bronze! Many great players to look forward to from all countries in the coming years.
Yes, Chinese team can be as good as other peers, just assume that they have more time playing outdoor sports instead of being drown in text books 7x24.
what this game tells us? still think BIG can bully small? you can train the same tacnique10000 times everyday but AUS still wins because they simply have talent! 😆🤣😂🤣🤮🤧🥴
The simplest way for Zhang to score is to get as close as possible to the basket. When she got pushed away from the basket just pushed right back and try to squeeze in. If she is at the uncomfortable spot just don’t shoot but pass the ball out and keep squeeze in and when she is at her comfortable spot raise her arm and ask for the ball, her teammates just need to throw the ball high to her and she can score. No one can stop her if she is at the right spot.
just looking at how effortless zhang scores, every improvement she had would be 3x effective more than a normal player. If his teammate improves ball passing it would directly boost him too.
Çin teknik direktörü takimi oynatmayi bilmiyor bu kadar basit Basketbol bilgisi az olan biri bile maci izleyince bu kiza karsi nasil caresiz kaldiklarini görebilir . Bence iyi bir koç bütün oyunu 5 numara üzerinde kurabilir cok cesitlilik yaratabilir zor değil
Wrong! Please watch properly! Zhang was the only one who scores and performed the best on court who is scoring constantly in China team. The one who caused China to fall is zhang teammates keep missing the nets and shootings were inconsistent. So you cannot blame Zhang you must blame her team mates!

No doubt Aussies won.
If Ziyu can develop movement and actually dribble and dunk balls, she'll be Shaq x 10. Right now she's just big. She posts under the net and when the ball just shoots wherever she is. Easy to defend actually, just dont let her post within range. Aus showed perfect example how to beat them
Lamentablemente no entiendo las reglas suena el silbato australiana sigue y mete canasta pero china suena silbato suelta la pelota cuando ya está meter canasta
Good on the Aussies, you delighted at least one Kiwi. I thought China would be too, erm, tall an order, but the Australians were bloody fantastic. Well done, Ockers, you deserved that! As someone with limited knowledge of basketball, here's a (no doubt very dumb) question: With someone the height of China's star, would it not be a potential winning tactic to post her under China's defensive goal throughout to (hopefully) limit the opposition scoring to very low numbers? (I know goal tending isn't allowed.)

Australia was pleasure to watch, good skill, fast and multiple ways of fast attacking. China just relying 1 player with the height advantage, cant jump cant run , with boring strategy.

the giant is just running around without any skills and looks like a fool, look at minute 13.51 he is doing very silly things and I'm sure he can't jump 🤣
Australia is a better team, without zhang, Australia win around 8 points from 5-3 minutes. that set the tone of the game. Zhang needs to train more and lose some weight. The adult game will be higher tempo. She got some taste of it today. No 4 from Australia will be a good player in adult team.
It's not reasonable for the lose team player get the MVP. All she got the points were at the painted area and her FG and FT were only 50%. Besides, she got only 1 block shot and 1 assist. What a shame record for such a giant.
Wrong! Please watch properly! Zhang was the only one who scores and performed the best on court who is scoring constantly in China team. That's why Zhang has the MVP! You are just jealous she gets the MVP HAHAHA! What a sour grape!
China players not high ,you can look at key number 2 and number 7 of china, in average height players Australia higher than china players except zhang ziyu 😂😂
