Later that year, Zhou would lead the U-16 Chinese National Team to the Asia U-16 Championship. During the final game against South Korea, he recorded another triple-double with 43 points, 19 rebounds, and 12 blocks in a blowout 92-52 victory. A year afterwards, Zhou would participate with the Chinese national team in the 2012 Albert Schweitzer Tournament.
