First in scoring

Chapter 16. The first experience begins

After arriving in Compton, Zhang Yang's pace of life has not changed much.

He trained for 2-3 hours each in the morning and evening. He did not increase the training time, not because he did not have the physical strength, but mainly because it was too sunny and hot.

In the middle of summer, it's okay to play basketball between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. After all, a few sets of half-court 3-on-3 games only take to minutes, or at most half an hour. Long-term training may really give you heatstroke.

Also, about 5 hours of training time a day is already enough. 2-3 hours of training each time can make him feel tired. No matter how strong his physical strength is, he is only 15 years old after all. Like when DeRozan trained with him before, it seemed that the training time was the same, but DeRozan did not spend as much time on training as him. At least one-third of the time was spent helping him train.

The current training intensity is just at a level that he can recover from after a good night's sleep. Increasing the training time may really affect the next day's training.

He didn't have to help in the restaurant at noon, but now he had to cook lunch himself and prepare the ingredients for dinner.

There were actually some nice-looking restaurants nearby, but they were expensive, and he felt it wasn't worth it since he was spending his parents' money.

Fast food is cheap, but American fast food like hamburgers and fried chicken are not as delicious as the domestic versions.

So he just cooked it himself. He liked cooking his own food anyway, so he could buy whatever vegetables he wanted and adjust the taste however he wanted.

In the evening he would occasionally serve a couple of dishes to get to know the neighbors he hadn’t met yet. Since he would probably be living here for the next three years, it was necessary to maintain good relationships with them.

He didn't run around the rest of the time. Even if this city wasn't as terrible as his coach and friends described, it wasn't much better.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Except for going to DeRozan's house on the 7th to celebrate DeRozan's 14th birthday with Harden, the rest of the time he stayed in the area near Thomas's house, where the security conditions are relatively good.

He doesn't go out, but people come to find him. DeRozan basically asks his mother to drive him to Thomas's house for training every other morning.

When DeRozan's mother heard that he was training at the head coach's house, she didn't come to watch him. After sending DeRozan to his position, she went to do odd jobs.

DeRozan mainly checks on his teammates' training progress to see if there is anything they need his guidance on.

He would never admit that he came to eat for free after discovering that his friend's breakfast was also delicious.

As time went by, Zhang Yang trained harder and harder.

In addition to my stronger determination to become an excellent basketball player, my shooting value is getting closer and closer to 10,000 points.

His training purpose is not to score a certain number of goals and get a certain number of shooting points every day, but to focus on the training itself. The growth rate of his shooting points is indeed not fast, especially after adding new training items. The growth rate of his shooting points will slow down significantly. For example, when he first started practicing free throws and jump shots from the free throw line, his daily shooting points hit new lows... But he is not impatient. If he is not efficient enough, he will make up for it with time, and the task will always be completed.

...

It was August 8th. Zhang Yang and Thomas finished their dinner together, scraped the residue off the plates and put them into the dishwasher, then went to the yard to continue training.

He was a little excited about this training, because by the end of the training before dinner, his shooting value had reached 9925 points, just less than points.

He controlled his emotions and practiced one set of free throws, one set of jump shots from the free throw line on both sides of the baseline, and one set of layups in turn. He did not disrupt the training rhythm just because the task had to be completed soon.

At 7:58 pm, Zhang Yang made a mid-range jump shot from the right baseline, and the "Gate of Experience" appeared in front of him, and the words on the door changed!
The previous 'zero' became 'one'!
The text on the taskbar also changed.

"I have accumulated 10000 shooting points. I will start my first training journey tonight."

Zhang Yang blinked. That's it? At least give a more detailed description!

He asked the question over and over in his mind, but the words on the door didn't change at all, which ruined his originally excited mood.

Forget it, just keep training! Then you will know what the "training journey" means. No matter what, it is always right to keep training.

At 8:, Zhang Yang finished his training, returned to the house, waited until his body cooled down, and took a hot bath.

After taking a shower, I saw a light coming from the crack of the study door.

School is about to start in a few days. Thomas has been very busy at work recently, preparing for the school's recruitment of new students after school starts, friendly matches in the new season, and other things.

After saying good night through the door, Zhang Yang went upstairs to his bedroom and read a book for a while. He couldn't continue reading and threw the book aside.

Thomas took great care of him. He brought him the 10th grade textbooks for the new semester in advance and even borrowed study notes from 11th grade students with good academic performance.

It's true that he was very grateful for this, but when he was asked to preview the courses for the new semester, he couldn't concentrate.

He was not a person who did not like studying, but in his previous life he had worked hard for three years in high school and was admitted to a key university, which had exhausted his patience for studying. That is to say, he chose his favorite major in college and was interested in studying, so he had good grades in college and successfully obtained his degree certificate.

Now let him fight again in high school...his motivation to play basketball continues to increase.

Try to perform well in high school and enter the NCAA! Zhang Yang was thinking about it and felt sleepy. At around 10 o'clock, he fell asleep as usual...

...

The original body had a very good sleep quality. After Zhang Yang crossed over, he also maintained the original body's good schedule, ensuring adequate sleep. It was a very comfortable thing after waking up.

Just after 6 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yang woke up from his sleep. After a good sleep, he felt refreshed.

But after waking up, he felt very confused - what about the first training that was supposed to start last night?

etc! wrong!
Zhang Yang, lying on the bed, looked carefully and found that it was not the ceiling of the second bedroom in Thomas's house that he was familiar with!
He sat up suddenly and looked around. It was a room that was much larger than Thomas's second bedroom, and the furniture looked much more expensive.

No, I traveled through time again?
Just then, some information came into his mind.

This is the year 2010 in the "Gate of Experience".

After entering Compton High School, he trained hard for two years, performed well in the 12th grade, and successfully joined the University of Arizona Wildcats.

Relying on the attacking skills, mid-range shots after receiving the ball at a fixed point, and counterattack attacks that he had practiced for several years, he quickly established himself in the Wildcats as a role player.

However, due to his single skill set and rigid playing style, he made limited progress during college. After averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals per game in his junior season, he felt it would be difficult to improve in college and chose to participate in the 2009 NBA Draft early... and then was not selected.

After being undrafted, he did not give up his basketball dream and went for tryouts everywhere. In the end... he failed to enter the NBA and ended up hanging around in the Development League.

It was not until late March 2010 that the Suns' backup guard Leonard Barbosa was injured. The short-handed Suns signed him to a short 3-day contract. Although he did not play much and his performance was average, he showed very good tactical adaptability in training. He was noticed by the team's head coach Alvin Gentry and signed until the end of the season. Because of the team's many injuries, he was able to enter the 10-man playoff roster.

He got 15 minutes of playing time in the last game of the first round of the playoffs between the Suns and the Trail Blazers, scoring 7 points on 4 of 10 shots and two free throws, helping the team beat the Trail Blazers 4-2. He once again caught the attention of the head coach and is expected to get a chance to play in the second round.

He was recognized by Steve Nash, the star player of the Suns, for his diligent training attitude. In addition, due to some special reasons, he was staying at Steve Nash's house...

After receiving the message, Zhang Yang was a little confused.

That's it? This is an unreliable plug-in!

After complaining in his heart, he endured it.

Otherwise, what else can I do...

He muttered to himself, and a door appeared in front of him. The information on the door had changed.

After reading the information, Zhang Yang focused all his attention on the training mission.

The difficulty of this task... is like picking up rewards for free!
