His current goal is not just to enter the NBA; he also wants to achieve more.
Training is boring and tedious.
But Zeng Xingyang has already gotten used to this kind of life.
Basketball can quickly calm his heart.
Basketball also allows him not to worry too much about other trivial matters in life.
Aiming forward as he advances, running step by step, this feeling is intoxicating.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Zeng Xingyang continuously practices shooting.
The extra training Zeng Xingyang is doing now mainly focuses on shooting, power, defense, and speed.
Like positioning and inner cuts, they are basically practiced during gas and intra-team scrimmages, and when he returns to the dormitory, he also watches so ga footage for observation, which helps increase experience growth.
While shooting practice was ongoing.
"Clang!" The system notification sounded a reminder, shooting has been upgraded.
[Shooting: LV5]
[Experience: 1/30000]
[Note: Reached NBA shooter level.]
This upgrade gave Zeng Xingyang more insights and progress in shooting choices, just the improvent doesn’t feel as significant as before.
Shooting, speed, and dribbling are all capped at LV10, while others are capped at LV5.
Zeng Xingyang’s shooting is pretty decent now, a leap-forward improvent is not as easy anymore.
After laying a good foundation, shooting is in the stage of continual refinent and enhancent, even if upgraded, it’s hard to have a breakthrough improvent.
In reality, for shooters, just improving 1% or 2% in shooting percentage is very difficult.
But for soone like Zeng Xingyang, who has a cheat, this kind of improvent is just a matter of ti.
The reason why he felt fast improvent from LV1 to LV3 is just because he initially couldn’t shoot at all.
As long as there’s improvent, it’s a good thing.
"Set another short-term goal, improve shooting to LV6 before entering the NBA."
Shooting is his main offensive weapon, the higher the level, the more stable his scoring.
Shooting is not just about three-point shots, there are also fadeaway twos, close-range jump shots, dium and long-range jumpers, etc.
...
Not long after, Booker also arrived, starting to do warm-up exercises on the sideline.
"Devin, why are you here? Didn’t you go on a date with Kendall last night?" Zeng Xingyang asked while looking at the sowhat silent Booker.
As a friend, one has to show so concern.
"I broke up with Kendall," Booker said dejectedly.
"Why? You two seed so good together." Zeng Xingyang gossiped as he continued shooting.
Won from the Kardashian family are indeed not easy to handle.
In his previous life, Zeng Xingyang saw news about Booker and Jenner breaking up and getting back together.
Booker did not shy away from sharing his love life with Zeng Xingyang and said, "She wouldn’t let see her phone. I guessed she was still flirting with other n. She said I didn’t trust her, and we broke up after a fight."
"Co on, we’re already together, why can’t I see her phone? I also let her see mine."
"For her, I deleted contact information of so many girls."
"Yet she often chats happily with other guys on Twitter."
"Doesn’t she really care about my feelings at all....."
Booker talked about his matters with Jenner a lot.
As expected, a bunch of juicy gossip.
Zeng Xingyang didn’t say much, occasionally asking a question or two, while Booker spoke endlessly.
Hearing Booker’s story, Jenner does seem like a queen of the ocean, his fragile heart was hurt.
However, Zeng Xingyang knew that no matter how much Booker says now, after a while, he will probably get back with Jenner.
It’s not that Booker is a sycophant, but these two are quite similar.
Breakups and get-backs are just a tug-of-war.
When Booker had mostly finished, Zeng Xingyang advised, "Devin, let’s not talk about won on the basketball court; basketball won’t betray you, this ball is your true love."
"Co on, defend , I’m attacking."
"OK!" Booker, finished with his venting, was fired up by Zeng Xingyang’s tone.
What’s so good about won; playing ball is most important!
Booker beca Zeng Xingyang’s sparring partner.
Zeng Xingyang tried various ways to take shots under Booker’s defense.
Booker’s defense largely depends on his positivity; his moving speed and defensive strength are passable.
Although he doesn’t have particularly outstanding defensive awareness, taking it seriously won’t leave him full of holes, generally speaking, it’s average.
Mainly, Zeng Xingyang’s handling ability isn’t strong; otherwise, it would be easy to play around him.
After practicing for a period, Booker was unwilling and strongly indicated it was his turn to attack, Zeng Xingyang to defend.
Zeng Xingyang said it was no problem.
Having an attacker of Booker’s level challenge his defense could also rapidly increase his defensive experience.
First ball.
After washing the ball, Booker took a dribble step to the right outside the three-point arc at the top and took a fadeaway shot over Zeng Xingyang’s defense.
The shooting point was very high, and the fadeaway was deep.
"Swish!"
Second ball, Booker made a rhythm change, bouncing the ball from left to right, breaking Zeng Xingyang’s rhythm, and hitting a mid-range shot after driving one step and coming to a sudden stop.
...
Booker’s offense was clearly much stronger than his defense, in one-on-ones, it was hard for Zeng Xingyang to limit him, he could only try to create as much trouble for him as possible.
Zeng Xingyang’s defense could almost guard most NBA players.
But even college-level Booker’s offensive abilities were clearly superior to many NBA players.
He seed born to be an offensive assassin! Zeng Xingyang couldn’t possibly defend him every single round.
In his University of Kentucky gas, Booker’s two-point shooting was 48%, and his three-point shooting was 41%, which was among the top attacking guards in the NCAA.
He had relatively flexible footwork and stable dribbling rhythm, a bit lacking in explosiveness, and was vulnerable against small, agile defenders, but against bigger guards or forwards like Zeng Xingyang, Booker could use speed to create ti differences.
The two didn’t keep score; it was just a continuous exchange of offense and defense.
This wasn’t their first ti training like this; they had done it countless tis over the past few months.
Both on and off the court, they were witnessing each other’s growth.
A while later, both were lying on the floor, gasping for air.
At this mont, Towns ca over with fries and drinks, saying, "Any pro player not eating this stuff is nonsense."
Just don’t overdo it.
"Hey, I knew you two would be here training, I ca over right after waking up, co, have so." Towns casually sat down to share the snacks with the two.
Having talent is great, Zeng Xingyang looked at Towns with envy.
Even though he has a cheat, he still has to work hard, while Towns seems to be strong without needing much effort.
Comparing oneself to others is frustrating.
