Scary!

“I just spoke with the security guard over there, and when these aren’t needed, we’ll just leave them on that open space.
As long as they don’t block anyone, it’s fine if they get damaged.
There are more in the warehouse; just buy more if we run out …” Yang Jing said, her face filled with ‘watch get praised now.’
“…”
Zhang Yang had to admit, it was quite creative.
He picked three standees, Kobe a step inside the top of the arc, Garnett at the right side of the free-throw line, and Yao Ming in front of the basket.
Looking at them …
his motivation for training boosted!
Zhang Yang: “Why didn’t I think of buying a few standees as training obstacles?
Next sester when I go to the coach’s house, I might buy a few too.”
Yang Jing clenched her fist, her thumb brushing against the tip of her nose: “That’s right, I’m your mom.
You’re so smart because you inherited it from .”
Zhang Yang: “…”
He rembered, his mom adored Bruce Lee and had sent him to a dojo to learn Jeet Kune Do.
The two clerks went back to the store first, while Yang Jing stayed to watch Zhang Yang train for a while …
but eventually, she left too.
After increasing their investnt and expanding the store, Yang Jing and Zhang Chen, the couple, were actually less busy than before, with als even being on ti.
She was impressed with her son; training was so boring, yet he could persist in it.
She hadn’t expected her son to really possess such basketball talent; he was even ntioned in the newspaper!
Dubbed as the ‘Mysterious Eastern Prodigy.’
She had received even higher acclaim from Thomas, who said his skills were not inferior to California’s top middle schooler …
As for how far her son could go in pursuing his basketball dreams, she didn’t entertain high hopes but was ready to provide the necessary support and wouldn’t drag him down.
…
Morning training, self-study in the morning, napping at noon, afternoon chatting and shopping with mom or teaching parents to use the internet, evening training …
Zhang Yang’s holiday schedule was orderly.
On the 28th, after 35 days, Zhang Yang had accumulated 40,000 shooting value, and his speed had also improved, randomly gaining a 1 three-pointer talent.
The next task began; it was ti for random physical fitness, also needing 40,000 shooting value.
Improving talents like this was always welco.
The physical condition evaluation at nearly 23 years old was quite good and adequate for his focused training under Popovich, who hadn’t ntioned any issue with his physical capabilities.
Nevertheless, compared to players with top physical skills, the gap was clear.
He had played a match against the Heat’s Big Three and, let alone Jas, even Wade, who had undergone niscus surgeries on both knees, seed monstrous.
He could understand why so players stuck to simple playing styles for 20 years without changes.
On the 30th, DeRozan arrived at Hidden Mountain first, while Harden had gone to his brother’s house in San Francisco with his mom, and would only join a few days later.
After dropping off his luggage at his grandmother’s house, DeRozan headed straight to Zhang Yang’s ho to leech off his lunch.
Zhang Yang’s parents really liked this polite, reserved kid and warmly welcod him.
After lunch and rest, Zhang Yang and DeRozan played True Three 3 together.
Zhang Yang: “Didn’t you say you were going to wait to co with Jas?”
DeRozan: “My mom started nagging to co to Hidden Mountain within 5 days of vacation starting, told to hang out more with you and learn from you, hmph, you’re just a bit better at exams, right?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang recalled the scrutinizing look from DeRozan’s mom the first ti he saw her and her enthusiasm after discovering his academic performance …
Mothers all over the world are the sa; if there’s a chance, they all want their children to hang out with the ones who have good grades.
But with DeRozan’s sour look …
Zhang Yang responded: “You’re mistaken, not just a bit, a lot better.”
DeRozan almost snapped the controller!
After teasing DeRozan a bit, Zhang Yang said: “Now that you’re here, let’s do like before, training after dinner?”
DeRozan nodded, “Okay, you said a few days ago that you wanted to practice pull-up jumpers, right?
I’ll help you…”
At 5 p.m., DeRozan once again freeloaded dinner at Zhang Yang’s ho, then they went to the park together.
Seeing the celebrity cutouts next to the basketball court, he was still surprised that the park managent would actually spend money on this, and then he saw Zhang Yang placing the cutouts of Kobe, Garnett, and Yao Ming on the court as obstacles…
DeRozan: “Jack, did you put these here?”
Zhang Yang: “Yes, they’re for training, isn’t it great?”
“…”
As decorations for the basketball court, DeRozan thought they were quite nice, but as training props, he really didn’t know how to describe his friend’s thought process…
But!
He was sowhat tempted!
When you’re tempted, just act on it!
DeRozan took one of the cutouts that Zhang Yang had brought onto the court to the side half-court and said, “I’ll use this one,” then regardless of Zhang Yang’s reaction, he began practicing pull-up jumpers.
Zhang Yang watched, and as he practiced pull-up jumpers against Kobe’s cutout, he wildly flipped through its pages…
Is this what true love fan looks like?
Truly scary!
…
Initially, Zhang Yang wanted to learn pull-up jumpers from Nash, Old Master Nash’s pull-up jumpers had a flair that one could not find in Jordan, Kobe, or Arenas with their diverse jump shot styles.
But he hadn’t anticipated that he’d be traded in his tenth season of ti, eventually getting traded back to the Spurs, a team without even one player proficient in pull-up jumpers.
Pull-up jumpers, first you need to nail mid-range shots, right?
When Zhang Yang got to the Spurs, he beca the player with the most accurate mid-range shots on the team, a fact that was heartbreaking for those who heard and brought tears to the eyes of those who saw.
Duncan and McDyess only had a slightly higher mid-range shooting percentage than him, but their shots were mostly pure catch-and-shoot situations.
Unable to master pull-up jumpers, he could only tearfully learn screen and shoot basketball, Euro steps, and even basic defensive skills that he definitely wouldn’t have had a chance to improve on with the Suns, plus helping his buddy over May Day…
Since he temporarily had no opportunity to learn pull-up jumpers from technically proficient veterans, learning from the dashing DeRozan wasn’t bad.
When Zhang Yang first t DeRozan, Big DeRozan had already known how to execute pull-up jumpers, and over the past year under Johnson’s coaching, DeRozan’s foundational skills in pull-up jumpers had beco very solid.
The movents were a bit plain, lacking flair, but they were fundantally correct.
A few days later, DeRozan went fishing in the park on a sunny afternoon to vent his feelings.
Five days, no, not even five days, the wretched Zhang San had already practiced the motions, force application, and shooting action of pull-up jumpers so well!
Once again, DeRozan was stimulated by his friend’s talent.
He rembered how Zhang Yang, simply by ‘watching videos’, could develop Euro steps and screen shots, and in the past two or three months, his buddy had even started teaching him defense…
He was going to make everyone in the park give up on their basketball dreams!
There was a reason why Zhang Yang learned quickly this ti.
In the basic skills of his Euro step, there was a technique related to pull-up jumpers—the cross step.
That change of direction in the Euro step was essentially a quick stop followed by a starting movent—a principle that applied to many techniques.
The better the fundantals, the faster the learning of technologies, and the more fundantal skills you master, the more opportunities you have to learn more techniques.
However, Zhang Yang’s pull-up jumper couldn’t even be considered at an entry level.
He had to focus entirely on each motion to ensure the pull-up jumpers were stable and smooth.
Training until his brain sent a signal and his body carried out the action, that was what truly counted as entering the door.
Of course, given his learning speed, entering wouldn’t take much ti.
Only when performing this technical move could ensure the shooting accuracy was up to standard could he be considered satisfactory.
By Zhang Yang’s standards, he would have to be able to use it in a ga before he could consider it learned.
On June 5, Harden arrived at Hidden Mountain the day before Zhang Yang’s birthday.
Zhang Yang had been really looking forward to seeing Harden, not having seen him for half a year.
But after Harden really arrived, Zhang Yang felt overwheld.
Harden had lost weight…
no, he had grown taller!
Zhang Yang had grown a little over the past half year, reaching a height of 191 cm, but Harden had shot up a lot, now matching his height!
