Harden noticed that Rose’s mood was off, thought for a mont, and said, "Jack told that physical fitness is innate and can’t be changed, while skills, shooting ability, will progress slower and slower after reaching a certain limit. Right now I’m not as good as him, but the gap will get smaller and smaller. I’m working hard on this so I can be stronger than him in the future!"
Rose knew Harden was trying to comfort him, but he really wanted to complain—does this guy really know how to comfort people? It seems he didn’t ntion him at all... But fortunately, he understood the aning.
Ever since eting Harden, Rose always thought this guy was carefree and indeed not very smart.
But at this mont, Rose instead envied Harden’s personality. It’s because of this personality that this guy can move forward regardless of talent gaps, strength gaps, and the difficulties ahead!
...
Mayo’s challenge to Zhang Yang didn’t take too much ti, only about ten minutes in total.
This little episode not only didn’t affect the normal conduct of the training camp but actually made the prospects even more enthusiastic and eager to showcase themselves.
So were just purely excited by Zhang Yang’s brutal defeat of Mayo, training crazily.
Others felt their draft ranking might rise, like Rose, Mayo, DeRozan, being more active in showcasing their talent in front of the dia and team executives... Thanks to the bad kid!
Zhang Yang didn’t take the Mayo incident to heart, continued doing what needed to be done, helping to run the training camp smoothly.
During the process of assisting in training, he t so draft prospects he was interested in and exchanged contact information, such as Rose, the Lopez brothers, and of course Love, though he didn’t need to get acquainted, having t him 4 years ago.
When he received a call from Jordan yesterday, he already had this idea, he guessed Jordan had the sa intention.
His Bobcats team didn’t have a first-round pick this year, let alone a high pick, and likely won’t have for several years, just like the Spurs and Pistons in recent years, so future recruitnt would need to take an alternative approach.
Private friendships are one of the thods.
He, Zhang San, is about the sa age as these prospects, so it’s easy to chat with them.
As for why Jordan didn’t have this plan when organizing the training camp, it’s probably because he didn’t expect so many highly-ranked talents to co for his sake.
Having enjoyed a pleasant day, after cramming down a nutritious al at night, Zhang Yang bid farewell to DeRozan, Harden, and others, and made an agreent with two buddies to be at the draft event to show support, then headed ho.
Before going to sleep, he browsed the news and forums and was surprised to see he was in the headlines!
Both the dia and fans were fervently discussing Mayo’s challenge to him.
Having played around all day, he had already forgotten about it.
Mayo didn’t co back after running away, nor did he hear any follow-up from Jordan.
After browsing the news for a while, he saw most dia headlines were normal, but one was particularly sensational—"Bad Kid Jack Chased Super Jordan Away at Training Camp."
However, the content was similar, providing a detailed account of Mayo challenging him to a duel, his brutal defeat of Mayo, along with video links.
Without the need for journalists to exaggerate, one could see how badly Mayo was beaten.
The trash talk he instinctively spewed on the court was also hyped by the dia and debated by fans, so much so that because of this trash talk, Mayo started getting nicknas, and ESPN even organized a vote to choose a nickna for Mayo.
"Frog, Well Knight, Little Bug... What the heck is Prince?"
After complaining a bit about the dia and fans giving Mayo nicknas, Zhang Yang felt sleepy and decided to go to bed.
Mayo’s draft expectations would surely be affected by this challenge, Zhang San felt a bit sorry, but that guy just had to act...
