Making a big impression

A raw talent playing the game, literally, on a level of her own, Zhang's emergence is sure to pose a huge challenge for opponents as Team China looks to build its future around her.

"She's an extraordinary talent with an untapped potential, and could be a huge asset for Chinese women's basketball if developed in the right way," Gong said of Zhang's performance after Team China beat South Korea 101-66 in Sunday's bronze-medal playoff to finish third on the podium.

"She obviously lacks experience at this level, and has so much catching-up to do to get used to the physicality and pace of the senior game.

"Defensively, she has to improve her movement and rebounding, while, offensively, we hope she can develop a more versatile skillset and get more involved in making plays for teammates.

"She has a long career ahead of her and a vast room for improvement. This was just her first test at the senior level, and I feel like we put way too much expectation on her, which didn't help," said Gong, who returned to the team just three months ago for a second stint after guiding the women's squad to the 2001 Asia championship and 2002 Asian Games titles.

Zhang's current incompatibility with the fast-paced, high-intensity game was exposed in Team China's disappointing 90-81 semifinal loss to Japan, where the host's strength in the paint was neutralized by Japan's run-and-gun game, which featured sharp shooting, spacing and quick transition.

China's slow-rotating zone defense, with Zhang settled deep down court whenever she's in the game, allowed Japan's teen star Kokoro Tanaka too many uncontested shots on the perimeter, where Japan hit 16 three-pointers, 10 more than China did, to upset the host in front of its home fans.

Corey Gaines, Japan's head coach, attributed the critical win to his team's perfect execution of a game plan tailored against the host's "too obvious" advantage, following two warm-up losses to Team China last month.
