This Woman Basketball Player Is As Tall As Victor Wembanyama

- The tallest woman basketball player is too big for the WNBA.
What if there was a woman basketball player who made NBA players look small? I’m talking bigger than Joel Embiid. We might be used to tall 7 footers in men’s basketball. Currently we’re seeing Bob an Marjanovic, 7’ 4” Wembanyama, but in the WNBA.
If you check the Guinness book of world records, the current tallest woman in the world is Rumeysa Gelgi who is 7 foot 0.7 inches and then there is her, Ziyu, a 7 foot 3 inch basketball player from China. This doesn’t even look real.
Yes that makes her the tallest woman in the world, taller than the tallest WNBA player ever, and she’s 17 and wants to make the WNBA.
In fact Ziyu would be taller than the average WNBA player by over a foot and 3 inches. That’s the equivalent to a 7 foot 9 NBA player. So taller than Yao Ming and you already know that everyone calling her the female Yao Ming.
A woman who is taller than Shaq needs more shine than this and we got to see her play in the Olympics.
And yes she can dunk. In 6th grade, Ziyu was already 6’ 9”. Taller than LeBron at 12. Both her parents were professional basketball players so it runs in the family.
Even though Ziyu towers over everyone, her posture seems to also be normal, something that again, we’ve seen the demise of the tallest men’s basketball players have back issues.
And in the under 18 Asia Cup, Zhang led the Chinese team to the finals and pretty much was unstoppable. She scored 36 points and 13 rebounds in 22 minutes against New Zealand, 44 points and 14 rebounds against Japan. These are exactly the type of numbers I would envision if you told me there was a 7’ 3” women basketball player.** She’s literally the woman Wilt Chamberlain.
Watching the tape, Ziyu is able to get wherever she wants on the court, she has enough weight and strength to push pretty much every player off their spot. There is no player that comes remotely close to blocking her shot or even bothering her.
After watching several interviews, off the court, Ziyu seems to be humble, calls herself a shy girl, coaches have nothing but praise, and she is focused on making the best of her abilities. but on the court, she is aggressive, wants the ball, directing teammates, just not yelling like Russell Westbrook.
Throughout the entire cup, she was the best player, to the point that China was being called a one person team. And unfortunately China would lose in the finals to Australia, but fortunately for us, that means we got to see Ziyu face really good team defense and have to give it her all.
Australia played fast to make sure Ziyu wasn’t set up in her defense because when she did, Australia had to play good team ball to get around her. It’s just that they were kinda able to get to anywhere they wanted on the court so maybe the rest of China’s team wasn’t doing the best to deny them the ball.
being the tallest woman in the world and having good ball skills is very impressive
And she is not the tallest woman in the world
@@AnsWerNas who is then?
@@Bradss5252 LOL no shit shes gonna suck ass without being tall. what im trying to say is that i think she is really good for her height. i doubt a lot of women of her size moves as coordinated as she does.
@@AnsWerNas She's not, but she should be
@@snowgoose0571 watch the video, it's some Turkish woman that's 7'7"
First time I saw healthy tallest athlete. I wish she stays this way and becomes the best WNBA player. Great vid MJ
hope she gets to the WNBA, she will be a game changer to women's Asian basketball
Imagine if the WNBA lowered the rim now like everyone’s been asking lol
They'd raise that shit right back up as soon as she got to the league. She'd just be dunking standing still.
@@localneo-graphic4647she could slam dunk w/ both feet flat on the floor. lol
She looks like a teacher playing with preschoolers in a daycare.
LMAO 🤣🙈
They just got humiliated by Australia in FIBA U18. She can't dribble so everytime she tries to put the ball on the floor easy steal for smaller opponents. Austalia double teamed her and intercepted most lobbed passes. They lost 96-79 June 30, 2024. She needs to learn how to dribble from the outside like Chet and Wemby. WNBA has much taller players so those lobbed passes won't work easily She needs to dribble from beyond the arc to be useful. She's only 17 so still a lot of time to fix that flaw.
A flaw most bigs have. They did make it to the finals behind her at least.
They didn't really lose because of her. China's strategy overrelied on her and pretty much gave up the game without her on the court.
When she was on the court, the Chinese team was leading in the score.
Well if she doesn't have to jump it will be easier on her knees
She can dunk easily, but her coach forbids her from dunking and jump shots because she needs to protect her ankles and knees.
her height is currently 228cm, and medical professionals expect the final height to be 232cm, it's something else considered hat she is a rare case for a women who is over 220cm but not having gigantism, and she does have very solid centre skills, not clumsy at all. And frankly coaches don't know what to do, no one in women basketball history had a player like that, it might not be a sure winning player but it's fun to just see how things would go.
She can just dominate physically, like a female Shaq 😅 And if she develops a decent mid range game and keeps the FTs above 60%, it might be over indeed
I was thinking more like a female Jokić.
@@sheezle3I was just telling some friends, if she studies Kareem and picks up the sky hook, bulks up a bit, joins the fever after college, the combo of her and Clark will be very fun to watch.
"solid centre skills"? What are you talking about? She has no skill. She just like a toddler grasping an egg and put it in a basket. Skill means? Jump shot? No. Floater? No. Hook shot? No. True that she has much to learn. Right now it is all about the height and size.
She can play her whole career without jumping
she probably should. way less injuries and it's not like other players can guard her standing still lol
If she can dunk consistently in a game, it’s over
If you need a taxi though to go back to defense lets just say its..less than optimal...
She can dunk easily, but her coach forbids her from dunking and jump shots because she needs to protect her ankles and knees.
She has a decent basketball IQ and sweet passer
Bro just imagine if her and Wemby had a baby together lmao that baby would be at minimum 8ft tall as an adult regardless if it was a boy or girl 😂
my heart is telling me no but my mind is telling me DO IT
Why not yao? Oh wait he is married.. But cmon CCP can do whatever they want, so they can force Yao to get 2nd wife, thats where she comes in
I want to see a 4ft newborn baby LOL
What about the 7'9 guy from canada
Their kids would be 5’4 in kindergarten
@fndorigin9021 No us gov thinks they can do anything they want even supporting genocide. Chinese gov is confined in the limit to the service of their people.
Good luck to the big girl
Female Yao Ming
Yao Ming of the WNBA
Your channel is a source of wonder and inspiration. Thank you for your creativity and diligence!🤘🦀🌷
the Jokic of the WNBA 😂
She should study all of Jokić's games. It would probably benefit her the most. And her coach should too.
Blocking Caitlin clark 3 from the paint and keeps Angel reese from catching her own missed shots ggs
The girl. DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER
JUMPING
😂😂😂
Even if she had a ladder she still had no chance to win that jump ball. 😂
She moves really well for someone of her size. Unless she has a good command of English, she's not going to be playing D1 basketball any time soon, so I guess she might be going to Europe if she doesn't stay in China.
Hopefully she stays healthy and doesn't experience mobility issues.
Language will be an issue for her in Euroleague, too... sure Euroleague players might be more likely to know multiple languages than in D1, but which teams would have even one player (they might exist for what I know, but I am clueless about that aspect) speaking Mandarin?
Also, what question marks do you believe Chinese sports schools would have about their English education?
Sure, she won't play for, like, Stanford, USC or Duke, but don't forget about the brutality of Chinese high school education, which could make the educational portion of D1 play mostly a language issue.
They created her in a lab. Congratulations
Her teammates had one job. Don't let the other team go on a fastbreak.
The future of the WNBA looks bright.🤙🏽🏀🔥🔥🔥
She's playing netball 🤣
If she stays healthy past her mid 20s I'll be shocked. If she were to actually get in professional basketball shape that would be an actual miracle.
She looks bored.
I saw one of her videos, her coach told her not to jump to keep her health and start to jump only when she invited to the WNBA
W RUclipsr keep doing your thing and you will succeed!
Why doesn't she play in the NBA?
She actually looks like Nikola Jokic. Looks slow and doesn’t jump but have great touch to tip the rebound to herself and shoot calmly under the basket while nobody can contest her effectively. And she is taller than everyone else.
the under 18 Australia women’s team showed her out in the Asia cup lol
She needs to marry Wemby and create a family dynasty 😂
Nah the WNBA has players who are athletic enough to play defense against someone like this....she's playing against tiny Asian nations
If she's in the WNBA, her teammates will be better as well, and presumably her coaches. It all depends on chemistry.
Wait a sec did i just see boban play keep away with anthony davis 😂😂😂😂
Uljana Semjonova 🪆🇷🇺🏀 she played from 1968-1989. She's 7'. She was awarded the Order of the Red Baron in 1976.
She was the first non- US player enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame.
I've waited a long time to see how her records and likeness would appear again.
Damn we got female Shaq before GTA VI
half the time i would swear she’s playing net ball
she looks like a 2k mod LOL
She's going to punish the women in 2028 Olympics
Bro, if she plays in the WNBA with the game, she’s got right now they gonna treat her like taco fall
Remember y'all you have to $Pay to get into Guinness world records
Victor is literally 7’4
Honestly if i was the coach of the opposing team id just tell everyone to nancy kerrigan that woman.
Can she dunk? Can she DUNK?!? CAN SHE DUNK?!?
She can dunk easily, but her coach forbids her from dunking and jump shots because she needs to protect her ankles and knees.
If she takes care of her knees and does flexibility exercises, she can have a very respectable career
she is doing flexibility exercises everyday
Damn! Those tiny Korean players trying their best to stay around her at 3:37, that looked crazy!
I'm pretty sure she's not even playing fully at the moment, for fear of hurting everybody on the court...
She is so much taller than every woman basketball player that she can surely dominate, but also she will most certainly get hurt. China and/or her future WNBA franchise need to spend a lot making sure she stays healthy, and since there is no money in woman's basketball, it might not happen.
She's already got the coordination for such size. Definitely only going to get even better.
Ok, China isn't developing them in a lab.
If she has a typical Chinese education, she will speak and read English pretty well by age 20. She's also fairly attractive and is reported to be nice. That's all PR gold, translating to serious product spokesperson $ if she plays in WNBA.
Making 70% of your shots is beyond amazing.
I love the energy of this video!
She has a habit of hopping after she gets a rebound, i.e. traveling.
China made her . Theirs no way. How did she do against USA? She would be good in the WNBA with better players .
“Her movement isn’t awkward” are we watching different clips? And she can’t dunk. She has a 2” vertical. Her game starts and ends in the paint.
She can dunk easily, but her coach forbids her from dunking and jump shots because she needs to protect her ankles and knees.
she's a female Shaq from China, so what, of course she should be able to play ! It was the same with giants in the NBA, teams and coaches should adapt period
She is interesting, I wish her the best, be she got to work on many things (skills and her body) if she wants to make to the WNBA (even if they suck (until Caitlin Clark) ). The good thing she is still young so a lot of that is fixable with time and practice.
I do not expect her to be like Wemby, but develop some few other post moves, hook, drop step, and maybe a little shot. Basics handles, and manly is having the ability to move her body well. The pace is different at the WNBA and professional basketball here in the USA.
But the kid got talent, hope she gets to achieve her dream!
She has a better shot than Shagari Alleyne that played for UK! I hope that she can get some productive years in before she has medical issues with her height.
If you ask her what her dream is, I'm pretty sure she would say "to become shorter".
She needs to go now. We seen what happened to Yao Ming. Their height is a disadvantage on their body. Over time. Younger she is the bear chance she will have.
She will eat Griner and Reese in the paint..and they can't do anything about it.
Imagine her and Wemby having a kid. 😲
Loved the Four Seasons’ Winter by Vivaldi in the background. You have a new fan, @MJ2KALLDAY, I just subscribed!
Get KD her, we need a new generational nba player
Yea, I made her in 2k24 with those exact stats. No handle, just inside
She should make the wnba. If she doesn't they are just hating...
LETS GET ITTTT
she travels like crazy, lol.
size is her advantage , she can be unstopable if she work on it , she is so slow and almost can't drible , travel too much but this is just a begining of her let's see what she can do or when she can be better
I need to see her handles, shooting, and defense.
Wish her good luck to get into the WNBA or in any other League. I'm not a basketball "expert". So, don't take my comments too serious. Her moves don't look smooth and her shooting also don't look that good. But that can be worked on in the three years or longer.
But if she is good at passing and has a good sense of her surrounding. She could copy (a part of) Jokić's style. Might also work with her personality.
0:47 this is so hilarious
She was definitely genetically developed in a lab😭
As long as she makes the right plays for her and her teammates, she'll be a lottery pick for the WNBA.
WNBA has defensive 3 seconds rule the same as NBA. So the chinese giant cannot stand still in the paint area not moving. She needs to vacate the paint area every 2 seconds.
Why not be the first woman in the NBA? I mean if anyone can do it...
Yo WNBA is getting interesting
I’m not a hater but she still got a lot of problems need to improve. She lack of stamina and she don’t really jump and ladies over 2m can block her shot. If she come to WNBA she will suffer too just my 2cents
why even bother with the wnba, it pays so poorly
Yeah! BUT Australia totally exposed her weakness. They were literally laying the ball up around her.
She should team up with Caitlin. They'd be the WNBA's Kobe and Shaq. Unstoppable. And imagine how bad black ppl will be fuming lol
Australia ran tables around her in the under 18 years old league in FIBA final and that's a much lower competition. She needs to make some improvement to even make it to the league.
Why did Zhang not play in the Olympics ?
she is only 17 years old
@@longdragon88 Good point, seems like a Rock Star - lots of female gymnasts, swimmers and others less than 18
Respect to China woman national team especially during Olympics 2024
Hope to see them in LA 2028 and zhang playing for them
Too slow for this day now.
The perfect comparison from man basketball is zach edey like rarely dribling and also more play in the post and cant barely catch uo with small player uding their fast run or 3 point shoot
Does she run like a giraffe?
IMAGINE WEMBY FAL IN LOVE LOL THAT BABY !
This girl is still very young. If she is well protected, she will dominate women's basketball world for 2 decades. lol..
China was playing zone against Australia... I think i figured out why they lost
What should China play then? One on One defence like NBA? They have a 7'3" girl that cannot run and jump. It is always 4 on 5 defense. What can they do? Zone defense is the best system.
because she was tired and not in the court in the last 4 minutes
Give her the Rock...Prosper
So this isn’t dubious to you, I suspect this is a man.
I have been assured that China has some very tall people groups. She wasn't the end result of the covid research. :-D ;-)
she travels like a mofo..cant shuffle both feet
That's all I needed to hear 2:23
Yes please
she has short arms and can't jump.
She can dunk easily, but her coach forbids her from dunking and jump shots because she needs to protect her ankles and knees.
Oh no, another non-black WNBA player who looks like she gonna do good in the league. WNBA players gonna be hating on her again like Caitlin Clark
Weak attempt.
Ain't making the wnba she should stay in China 😅😂
❤
Can she run the floor WNBA will make her run
She couldn't run the floor against Australia in under 18 league.
@@e-man5654 she was mvp
@@longdragon88 MVP in Asia league and under 18 league at that. They lost that game.
@@e-man5654 When she was on the court, the Chinese team was leading in the score. Then she was too tired, and the coach asked her to rest to protect her. So she didn't play in the last four minutes, which is why they lost the game.
@longdragon88 They were actually losing when she was taken out, but it was a close game. It became a blowout after she was taken out. That was still an under 18 league.
yoi
pair her with CC and we will see the first ever WNBA dynasty
And that's assuming the Fever lands her, which is not a given.
