U19 China 64-56 Germany, mixed-race player Zhu Zheng 7+5+2 Is he the answer to the future men s basketball guard?

In the Leshan Station of the National Youth Men's Basketball Team, the Chinese U19 Men's Basketball Team defeated Germany's Würzburg 64-56. In this game, two mixed-race players of the Chinese team participated, one of which was Zhu Zheng, the "American" defender who has received a lot of attention recently. Zhu is a mixed-race child from China and Jamaican. He was born in July 2007 and is only 17 years old now, 1.80 meters tall and weighs 68 kilograms.

In this game, Zhu Zhengshi played for 18 minutes and 09 seconds, made 4 of 10 shots in the game, made 1 of 3 three-pointers and scored 7 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 2 steals. Let’s analyze Zhu Zheng’s playing characteristics from the game process to see if he really fits the “American defender” in the eyes of fans.

First of all, if Zhu Zheng is in international competitions, he will not have much advantage at the moment. Take Guo Ailun, who is also known as "American defender", as an example. Guo Ailun is 190cm tall and weighs 84 kilograms, and Zhu Zheng is 180cm tall and 68 kilograms tall. Although it may be longer, it is not easy to reach 190.

Zhu Zheng has two advantages in the game that is worthy of recognition. Let’s take a look at the first goal.

This ball highlights Zhu Zheng's good passing vision and passing skills. After his teammate made a simple pick-and-roll with him, Zhu Zheng immediately found his teammate and gave him an assist that was not observing the people's pass. The teammate hit a three-pointer, and this ball locked the five best balls in this game.

Secondly, after the Chinese team intercepted in the backcourt, Zhu Zheng made an open three-pointer from outside the three-point line. Fans who have watched international games know that the Chinese men's basketball team lacks the ability to seize opportunities in three-pointers, and Zhu Zheng's goal also demonstrates that he has a certain three-pointer ability.

From this game, we can see some of Zhu Zheng's advantages and disadvantages. Let’s talk about the advantages first:

has a good passing vision and a good basketball emotional intelligence. 5 assists were sent in this game, with the most in the team.

has a certain three-point shooting ability, and has a shooting percentage of 33.3% from 1 of 3-point shooting.

Disadvantages:

The athletic ability is average and does not show excellent enough athletic ability.

Height, weight, and confrontation are relatively weak. The ability of

control and transportation technology needs to be improved.

Do you think Zhu Zheng can be selected into the national team in the future and meet the requirements of "American defender"?
