At 2.23m, Chinese teen Zhang Ziyu is hard to miss at basketball World Cup

BERLIN, Sept 10 — Chinese teenager Zhang Ziyu has dominated the women's basketball World Cup in Berlin, and her coach anticipates the 2.23-meter tall player for greatness. Zhang is one of the world's tallest women and may pursue a career in the WNBA, though experts assert she must still master utilizing her body for maximum impact.

The Chinese squad has a unique training regimen for her, which she completes separately from her teammates. Her coach, Gong Luming, declared that she is a "once-in-a-century talent, not only for our country but for the world." US star Caitlin Clark recently remarked that she has never faced a woman of Zhang's size. Remarkably, Zhang was already 1.60 meters tall at the age of seven, significantly taller than her peers.
