The "220cm Giant Girl" stood in the way of Korea.
The U18 women's basketball team, led by head coach Kang Byung-soo, defeated New Zealand 86-66 in the "FIBA U18 Women's Asia Cup semifinals" held at Longhua Culture and Sports Center in Shenzhen, China on the 28th.
South Korea, which qualified for next year's U19 World Cup, will meet host and strong favorite China in the semifinals that will continue at 8 p.m. on the 29th.
Another concern is Jang Tzu-yu, 17, a giant girl standing 220 centimeters tall. "I have overwhelming heights that even adult national team players cannot do anything about. Basketball is a sport of heights. Jang is overwhelming the opponent team by banking on the tremendous heights that even the rebound contest is not possible.
In the match against Japan, Jang scored a whopping 44 points, 14 rebounds, and five assists. Notably, he scored 20 of the 22 field throws in two-point shots, demonstrating his strength to post a success rate of 90.9 percent.
Jang has 33 points, 11.3 rebounds, and a field goal rate of 90.9 percent on average. This makes it impossible for her to defend herself. It is advantageous to foul her and make free throws like Shaquille O'Neal did in the past. However, Jang is very accurate at 80 percent of free throws.
Korea's tallest player is Song Yoon-ha, who is 181 centimeters tall. There is a whopping 39 centimeters difference between the two. Other Korean players are not even 180 centimeters tall. It doesn't matter if a double team joins. 프라그마틱 슬롯 사이트
Manager Kang said, "Since we have to deal with China, where Zhang Tzu is still holding out, we plan to aggressively attack the outskirts. Judging from China's previous matches, it is not easy to grab a rebound against Zhang Tzu. We will play with our fast basketball."
Lee Min-ji, who scored 25 points in the match against New Zealand, said, "I was surprised to see Jang Tzu-yu and she was taller than I thought. It is undeniable that she is tall, but on the other hand, she is also slow. I will take advantage of that and try to block her."
