Back-to-Back 20+ Performances Overseas! Zhang Boyuan Delivers 20+4 in Big Win, Earns Four NCAA Division I Offers

On December 8 (Beijing time), China’s 18-year-old rising star Zhang Boyuan continued his dazzling overseas run. After erupting for 21 points and 7 rebounds against defending champion Link Academy, he once again delivered a standout performance with 20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block against Christ School. Leading Veritas Academy to a commanding 68–44 victory, Zhang posted another 20+ scoring outing, reaffirming his growing impact on the court.

Although Zhang has already completed CBA registration this season, only his rights have been secured by the Shanxi men’s basketball team, meaning he will not compete in the upcoming CBA season. He previously returned to China to take part in the National Games, but since heading back to the United States, he has quickly regained momentum. Prior to this latest game, Zhang recorded impressive stat lines of 18 points and 6 rebounds, followed by a bold 21-point, 7-rebound performance against powerhouse Link Academy—showcasing his composure and toughness on the big stage.

In the dominant win over Christ School, Zhang started and played 28 minutes, shooting 6-of-16 from the field. While his three-point accuracy stood at 2-of-7, he made a major impact by relentlessly attacking the basket and drawing fouls, converting 6 of 7 free throws. His all-around contribution of 20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block highlighted not just his scoring ability, but also his growing versatility.

With back-to-back 20+ performances, Zhang Boyuan continues to prove his potential at a critical stage of his high school career. Now in his senior year, he has already received four NCAA Division I scholarship offers—from Washington State University, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of California, Riverside, and the University of Texas at El Paso.

Looking ahead, Zhang is set to begin his NCAA journey and is widely viewed as a promising candidate to become the next Chinese player to pursue an NBA dream. His steady rise overseas is not only building momentum for his own career, but also inspiring renewed excitement for Chinese basketball on the global stage.
