First in scoring

Chapter 41 41. An unexpected beginning

Continuing the timeline of the last training? That's good, the Suns have a huge treasure trove of skills and game experience.

After one semester, he started from scratch and has improved his shooting skills to the point where he can shoot. In terms of passing and controlling the ball, he is also pretty good. With the bonus of physical fitness, tactical benefits, and the threat of DeRozan and Tatum, he has no problem playing simple games.

But passing...definitely next semester, it’s definitely not that his passing button is broken.

In terms of physical fitness, the two fastest growth periods have indeed passed. He only grew two centimeters in one semester. DeRozan is already 193cm tall. It makes me tear up.

Fortunately, Tatum, who is 16 years old, is still 190cm tall, which makes Zhang Yang feel much happier. He just grows slowly and his charcoal hair doesn't grow anymore.

He gained a full 4 kilograms in weight, which is more than DeRozan's 5 centimeters taller. He didn't deliberately gain weight, he just trained more and ate more, so he grew that much naturally.

Although he worked very hard when he played baseball before, he did not receive much professional training and the intensity was far from this.

The 4-kg weight gain has brought about a significant change. His physical fitness assessment value has reached 92. After playing so many games, he is sure that this assessment value is calculated based on the overall level of high school, not based on a 15-year-old. It will definitely increase. After all, his physical fitness in the NBA can be considered excellent, and he should have been one of the best in high school.

The next morning, Zhang Yang woke up late, which was a rare occasion. He was too tired from yesterday's training. With the pressure of 10 shooting points relieved and the excitement of starting the next training journey, he slept until after o'clock, got up, made some food, and came to school after lunch to participate in the Christmas activities of the Gardening Club.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Christmas is equivalent to the Chinese New Year in the minds of Americans, so you should still participate.

He joined the Gardening Club at the suggestion of the team leader, Ship, who was very bossy and liked to take care of his teammates. He said that a club with more female students would be more suitable for him.

Zhang Yang was also very satisfied with this suggestion. He relied on his good looks at the beginning and didn't have to do any work. As he became famous in the school team, the club members became more enthusiastic about him. Even the club summary at the end of the semester was printed out for him by the senior students.

This semester actually ends after the exams, but it’s not officially on vacation yet. There are no classes, and the only things I need to go to school for are club activities.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, after watching the Christmas performance hosted by the drama club and the dance club, Zhang Yang hitchhiked with Thomas and went back to Yinshan together.

In the evening, Thomas sent Zhang Yang home, made an appointment with Zhang Yang's parents for a dinner, and then went home, leaving Zhang Yang looking at his own restaurant in deep thought.

The storefront has changed a lot. The two stores on the left and right have been connected, the store area has been multiplied by three, and the business scope has also been expanded, with afternoon tea and coffee shop business added. There are several more employees than before, and professional baristas and pastry chefs have been hired, and the business is booming.

Zhang Yang: Could it be that I was the one who held them back in the past?

No! Impossible! It must be because my parents didn’t work hard enough!
Seeing her son's shocked expression, Yang Jing felt a little proud, but she felt that the couple still had to keep working hard. She heard that her son was doing very well in high school, with both academic performance and basketball performance being excellent, and he might even become a professional player. As a mother, she couldn't lose.

On the 24th and 25th, Zhang Yang did not go to practice, and spent Christmas happily and relaxedly... After receiving the New Year's money, his mother said that since it was a foreign New Year, there had to be a sense of ritual, focusing on a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

On Christmas Eve, Zhang Yang and his parents watched the Christmas game between the Magic and the Cavaliers. The rookie Little Emperor's defense allowed McGrady to perform beyond his level, scoring 41 points in a single game, and the Magic defeated the Cavaliers in overtime.

McGrady, who was only 24 years old, looked full of spirit and his playing style was elegant and graceful... Zhang Yang thought that in the future McGrady would fade out of the ranks of stars before he was 30 years old, and finally end his career hastily after wandering for a few years. It would be a pity.

After taking a shower and saying goodnight to his parents, Zhang Yang went back to his room and lay down, thinking to himself, "Teacher Na, here I come," and fell into a deep sleep...

……

……

After a good sleep, Zhang Yang opened his eyes. Sure enough, the style of the ceiling lamp had changed again. Look at this lamp, how come it is... a hotel style? He sat up and looked around. It was indeed a hotel room.

"Teacher Na got divorced and kicked me out?"

"Or is it that my house was burned down by wildfire, and the United States Federal Government didn't come to the rescue and forced me to sell my land? No, there is no NBA team in Hawaii..."

Then he saw a jersey, he froze for a few seconds and then closed his eyes.

"The demons and ghosts leave quickly, the demons and ghosts leave quickly..."

Free America, chant this spell and it will work... When he opened his eyes again, he was still wearing the same black and white jersey with the big 'Zhang' and '3' printed on it.

"No, I can't. At least I shouldn't. How can I, Compton Zhangsan, join in when I can't win... Eh? No! I think I won! Then there's nothing to blame.

But what about my teacher Na? How could a teacher as old as me be gone just like that?"

Zhang Yang originally wanted to play a reasoning game, analyzing the current time, recent basketball performance, etc. by observing his living environment, if for no other reason than for fun, but now he is not in the mood.

He issued a command in his mind and summoned the 'Gate of Training'.

The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and the team column really became the San Antonio Spurs.

Then a message came into his mind.

In the 09-10 season, he dared to fight and fight against the Spurs in the second round of the playoffs, winning the favor of Suns head coach Alvin Gentry. He got stable playing time in the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers, averaging 13 points and 6.5 steal in 1 minutes per game. Although his performance was not outstanding, his spirit of daring to fight and fight without fear of the defending champion caught the attention of the Lakers management.

So, during the offseason, the Warriors offered him a two-year contract with a starting salary of $261 million and $530 million.

He preferred to stay with the Suns, but the price was beyond the expectations of Suns general manager Steve Kerr, who refused to match the contract and eventually joined the Warriors.

After joining the Warriors, he lost to Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, and David Lee in a dispute over the ball, but still got an average of 20 minutes of playing time per game. He played 50 games before the All-Star Weekend, averaging 43.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.1 steals per game with a hit rate of 1.3%...

During the All-Star Weekend, the Spurs completed a deal with the Warriors, with the Spurs paying two players, pure pitcher Steve Novak and undrafted shooting point guard Gary Neal, to trade him back.

Yesterday, February 2, he arrived in San Antonio, completed the team entry procedures, and is currently staying in a hotel...

After digesting the information, Zhang Yang was silent for a long time, and then he said: "I am a real warrior!"

Compete for the ball with Curry, Ellis, and David Lee?
It’s exciting to think about it. If he were given another chance to choose, he would still make the same decision.

Ellis and David Lee are both black holes for the ball. Once the ball is in their hands, it can't get out. Curry, a sophomore, can only scramble for the ball when partnering with these two.

Jack Zhang is on the same team with these three people. If he doesn't rush to play, he may not touch the ball many times in the whole game!
If first and second year players go to the Warriors at this time, they will be doomed if they don’t take a chance!
The Warriors' way of training players is like... raising Gu?
I worked overtime today and came back late, so I quickly wrote a chapter. Please give me your monthly votes and recommendation tickets!
