China's women's basketball team will compete at the FIBA World Cup in Berlin, headlined by two exceptionally tall players who will command attention on the international stage.1 Leading the roster is 19-year-old rookie Zhang Ziyu, who stands 7 feet 3 inches (221 centimeters) tall and will make her professional debut at the tournament.1 Joining her is Han Xu, measuring 6 feet 10 inches (208 centimeters), who currently plays for the New York Liberty in the WNBA.1
Zhang Ziyu's inclusion marks a significant moment for Chinese basketball, as Han Xu noted that "the World Cup is a good moment for her, for the whole world to know her."1 The 19-year-old impressed at the 2023 Women's Basketball Asia Cup, averaging 14.8 points and 5.5 rebounds.1 However, China's roster will be without center Li Yueru, who cannot compete due to a lost passport, leaving the team without the 6-foot-7-inch (200-centimeter) player.1
China faces a formidable first challenge on Friday against the United States, a four-time defending champion that defeated China 83-61 in the 2022 World Cup final.1 American guard Sonya Citron has indicated she will be prepared for Zhang Ziyu's defensive presence.1
