Doncic, the ills of playing in the finals? The future of entering the best team at the age of 15 is bright. Japanese media pay attention to the license limit

The 2025 U16 Men's Basketball Team Asian Cup ended successfully. The Chinese team lost to Australia in the final and won the runner-up. The Chinese team collapsed in the second half. Australia gradually widened the gap after improving the defensive intensity and strengthening physical confrontation in the second half. In the end, the Chinese team lost 27 points.

Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie, known as the national youth youth Doncic, fought for 36 minutes, made 5 of 11 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, scored 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 3 mistakes, with a shooting percentage of 45.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 25%, plus or negative value -22, and an efficiency value of 10. He is the only player in the Chinese team to double-digit.

After the game, media people don't run. Just after the pig posted a message to criticize Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie: Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie's weaknesses were exposed because he played this kind of ball. His ability to hold the ball was not enough. He was watching him with his hands and hands many times throughout the game and didn't look at the basket. This intensity was understandable, but it was indirectly proved that he was not confident enough in his holding the ball.

In recent years, the National Youth League has frequently played inside. I really should not play too many inside players at the age of 13-15. What should be practiced is the details of ball holding ability, face frame players, pick-and-roll. If the National Youth League had not picked up the outside shot in the past six months, the consequences would be to make Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie, who was 2.02 meters, keep playing inside. I hope he can practice ball holding more this year, and he will be confident in holding the ball next year.

No matter what, Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie are the thighs of this national youth team. He averaged 25.7 minutes per game, scored 16.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.3 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 47.4%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%.

Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie are ninth in the scoring list, seventh in the assist list, 23 in the steal list, and 15-year-old 2.02 meters tall. This performance is already very comprehensive. There is no problem saying that he is Doncic, a national youth league.

Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie also joined hands with Zhang Ziyi to be selected for the best team. To be honest, I feel that the difference between Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie at 2.02 meters and Zhang Ziyi at 2.08 meters is really not big.

Moreover, Japanese media have always been paying attention to Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie. In the previous China-Japan-Korean Youth Athlete and the 2025 National Youth Challenge, Japanese media have followed and reported Zhang Yi and Zhao Jie's performance. It seems that they also think that 15-year-old Xiao Zhang is the enemy of the future Japanese men's basketball team.
