The FIBA Under-18 Women\u2019s Asia Cup is underway, and\u00a0one player from China<\/a>\u00a0has gone viral for literally standing out above the rest of her competition.<\/p>\n

Zhang Ziyu, the 17-year-old center for China, is creating buzz at her first\u00a0international tournament<\/a>\u00a0this week due to her 7-foot-3 stature.<\/p>\n

Zhang came off the bench for China, but she was extremely efficient, going a perfect 9-for-9 for 19 points in just 13 minutes of play. She also collected seven rebounds, as China ended up dominating Indonesia, 109-50.<\/p>\n
