Zhang Zhiyang's Struggles: Analyzing a 13-for-4 Shooting Night in Streetball Showdown
Zhang Zhiyang’s Efficiency Woes in Streetball Showdown
Cold Night in Beijing
The Streetball King tournament in Beijing delivered another gritty matchup as Beijing KP took down local rivals Unity 78-70. The box score tells a familiar story: one player’s shooting struggles overshadowed an otherwise balanced effort. Zhang Zhiyang’s 13-for-4 performance (30.7% FG) stands out like a sore thumb in the play-by-play data—though his 14 points, 5 boards, and 3 dimes show he contributed elsewhere.
Shot Chart Tells the Truth
As someone who spends Sundays knee-deep in NBA shot charts, I couldn’t resist mapping Zhang’s attempts (hypothetically, since we lack tracking data). Those four makes likely came at the rim—his floater game was clearly off. The nine misses? A mix of contested mid-range jumpers and rushed transition threes. In today’s efficiency-obsessed basketball world, even streetball isn’t immune to analytics scrutiny.
Beyond the Box Score
Digging deeper, those 3 assists suggest decent court vision amid the brick-laying. His team-high 5 rebounds indicate active hustle—a silver lining Chicago coaches would appreciate. But let’s be real: in a 40-minute streetball game with no defensive three-second rule, a sub-31% shooting night is hard to spin positively.
Key Takeaway: Volume scorers need either elite efficiency (see: Curry) or gravity-defying athleticism (think: young Derrick Rose). Zhang displayed neither here.
Streetball vs. Pro Metrics
This matchup highlights an interesting gap between playground ball and pro analytics. While advanced stats like TS% and eFG% dominate NBA discourse, streetball remains largely narrative-driven. Yet as more tournaments get filmed, expect Moneyball-style analysis to trickle down—especially when prospects like Zhang eye overseas opportunities.
Final verdict? A night to forget shooting-wise, but the rebound/assist numbers keep him from being labeled just a chucker.

Чжан Чжиян знову показує свою ‘магію’ на майданчику!
13 спроб, 4 влучання – це не просто погано, це вже легендарно! Але хоч якось він заробив 14 очок, 5 підбирань та 3 асисти. Можна сказати, що він не просто ‘стріляв’, а цілеспрямовано будував міст до перемоги… для суперників!
Срібна підкладка? Так, він боровся за м’яч і пасував. Але давайте бути чесними – у вуличному баскетболі з таким відсотком кидків краще грати у шахи.
Що думаєте, це просто невдалий вечір чи він готує нас до нового стилю гри – ‘промахології’? 😄
Bakit parang construction site ang laro ni Zhang?
Ang daming bricks na itinapon ni Zhang Zhiyang sa court kanina - 13 attempts, 4 lang pumasok! Parang nagpapagawa siya ng bahay sa sobrang daming ladrilyo. Pero huwag natin kalimutan yung 5 rebounds at 3 assists niya - mukhang mas magaling siya magpasa kesa mag-shoot!
Streetball o Brick-throwing contest?
Sa NBA kasi, TS% at eFG% ang batayan. Dito sa streetball, mukhang “Tiyaga%” (kung gaano ka-persistent mag-shoot kahit miss) ang basehan! Pero respeto pa rin kay Zhang - kahit malamig ang kamay, tuloy pa rin ang laban.
Ano sa tingin nyo, mga ka-barangay? Shooting slump ba ‘to o sadyang matibay ang rim? Comment nyo mga analysis nyo!
রাতের বেইজিংয়ে ঝাংয়ের শ্যুটিং বিপর্যয়!
ঝাং ঝিয়াংয়ের ১৩ শটে মাত্র ৪ গোলের পারফরম্যান্স দেখে মনে হলো সে নেট দেখতেই পাচ্ছে না! স্ট্যাটস অ্যানালিস্ট হিসাবে বলতে হয়, এমন “বৃষ্টিতে ভেজা বারুদ” আমি কদাচিৎ দেখেছি।
রিবাউন্ড আর অ্যাসিস্টে রক্ষা!
৫টি রিবাউন্ড আর ৩টি অ্যাসিস্ট দিয়ে至少 সে প্রমাণ করেছে সে শুধু “ব্রিক লেয়ার” নয়। তবে ৩০% শ্যুটিং পার্সেন্টেজ? ওহে ভাই, এটা তো আমাদের স্থানীয় ক্রিকেট টিমের ব্যাটিং গড়ের চেয়েও খারাপ!
[ইমোজি: 😅]
কেমন লাগলো এই পারফরম্যান্স? কমেন্টে জানাও!
بیجنگ کی سڑک پر ‘بندوق’ جم نہیں رہی!
ژانگ ژِیانگ نے آج شوٹنگ میں کمال دکھایا… مگر غلط طرف! 13 میں سے صرف 4 شاٹس کامیاب؟ یار، ہمارے محلے کے چوتھائی فیلڈ پر بھی یہ ریٹ قبول نہیں ہوتا۔
ریبانڈز اور اسیسٹس نے بچا لیا 5 ريبانڈز اور 3 اسیسٹس نے ثابت کیا کہ وہ صرف ‘چکر’ نہیں تھا… لیکن جب ٹوکری خالی ہو تو کھلاڑی کو ‘اسٹریٹ بال کنگ’ نہیں، ‘اسٹریٹ بال کھوکھا’ کہتے ہیں!
تبصرہ کرنے والوں کے لیے: کیا آپ بھی کبھی ایسے ‘تیس فیصدی’ دن گزار چکے ہیں؟ 😅 #شوٹنگ_فیل #پاکستان_کے_باسکٹ_میں_تو_نہیں_چلتا
¡13 intentos y solo 4 canastas!
Zhang Zhiyang se convirtió en el rey del brick en la Streetball King de Beijing. ¿Efectividad? Menos que un café sin café con leche.
En el anillo de la vergüenza
Sus tiros fueron más erráticos que una telenovela argentina con final múltiple. Solo cuatro aciertos… todos desde el poste. Los otros nueve? Un mix de triples apresurados y lanzamientos desde el medio campo como si fuera un videojuego de baloncesto antiguo.
Más allá del box score
Pero oye… cinco rebotes y tres asistencias. ¡Sí! El hombre sabe moverse aunque no pueda anotar. Como si estuviera haciendo entrenamiento para ser entrenador en lugar de jugador.
¿El veredicto? Una noche que olvidarás… pero no tan rápido como tus tiros.
¿Vos qué harías si tuvieras esa mala suerte en un partido? ¡Comenten! 🏀🔥
