After receiving the information, Zhang Yang just shouted, "What the hell."
In this tiline, his professional career has been more bumpy than ever.
However, the "he" here is more steady than he imagined.
The first ti he ca here, he learned that "he" had multiple brawls in college, entered the NBA by taking a swing at Big Bird, and got into a fight on the court with Laimbeer, thinking that the "he" here was a reckless youth.
Now it seems, all of that was "him" crafting an image of "I’m a fool who loses his cool easily, don’t ss with ."
Otherwise, when he ca here, Big Bird wouldn’t have talked to him properly; he’d just treat him as a fool to be used as a tool on the court, that miser is quite shrewd.
When it really mattered for his career, he could endure a lot. With his contract not yet expiring and confird that the Red Priest wouldn’t trade him, "he" chose to grit his teeth and fight on the court.
Trying to see if he could win over those quirky Boston fans.
The goal inevitably failed, but at least he tried. For a professional player, daring to challenge the impossible is pretty cool.
And it left a good impression on other teams regarding professional attitude—withstanding pressure and steadily growing in such an environnt, leading the team to perform beyond expectations.
Even turned a situation that could have made a talented player give up into an opportunity to obtain the highest salary ever, not wasting a critical growth period.
Zhang Yang imagined if it were him, in an environnt where Magic and Bird were just starting out and the god hadn’t paved the way for those who ca after, he probably wouldn’t have done so well.
The growth environnts were vastly different. The "he" here had been living in this country since the 60s, experiencing far more hardships, earned everything one ga after another.
Another learning experience gained, it might not necessarily be used, but gaining knowledge is never a bad thing.
Zhang Yang reviewed the information he received, seeing that after successfully defending the championship, the Red Priest directly traded veteran champions Dennis Johnson and Parish for rebuilding, obtaining peak Buck Williams and high draft rookie Kenny Smith through operations... Ainge’s frequent ruthless moves as general manager seem to be a trait of this line’s managent.
However, Ainge seems to be simply mimicking the Red Priest, and hasn’t grasped the essence.
Ainge seems like he doesn’t consider the future; he’s willing to trade anyone, even the soul of the team.
But the geniuses that the Red Priest himself selected and nurtured, like Big Bird and Iceman, would never be sold.
Even if he were to trade veterans, he’d give them so dignity, not resorting to humiliating moves.
The differences in operations lead to different results; even after being traded, Dennis Johnson, Parish, and others still rave about the Red Priest, calling him a ntor.
No one sees him as heartless; on the contrary, there’s always soone who responds to his call.
And Ainge, after the stars left the Celtics under his managent, none of them wanted to ntion him, simply ignoring him.
Zhang Yang thought that the strategist and Ainge should have a lot in common to talk about.
The forr wants to trade the Magician, the latter wants to trade Big Bird.
However, he thought that although the two might have much in common to talk about, they wouldn’t beco friends. If the two were colleagues, they’d definitely be thinking about how to trade each other for draft picks. Such a competent managent team is at least worth one or two first-round picks...
Refocusing his attention, Zhang Yang had a thought, and the information on the "door" transford into an ability assessnt.
"Na: Zhang Yang, English Na: Jack.
Age: 26 years old, Birthday: June 6, 1963.
Height: 196 cm, Weight: 96 kg.
Team: New York Knicks.
Ability Assessnt (Training Mode): Three-point shot 92, Mid-range shot 94, Layup 94, Dribbling 93, Passing 86, Speed 93, Strength 89, Jumping 89, Stamina 96 (upper limit)...
Experience Gained: Steve Nash’s dribbling rhythm (Interdiate), Enhanced consecutive jumping ability, The Devil’s Pace of the Blade, Big Bird’s post-play rhythm (Interdiate), Slight enhancent of core strength, Winning small against big, The art of facing away from the basket, I age a bit slower (Interdiate), Death (Primary)."
Zhang Yang recalled the training mories from the last ti he was in this tiline; three years had passed, and his abilities improved greatly, with changes in the upper limits.
For instance, stamina; he rembered his basic stamina talent upper limit was 88, and after adding 6 points, it should be 94, but he hadn’t received any stamina talent points after that. Yet, the 26-year-old, almost 27-year-old him here reached an upper limit of 96... Is it because the upper limits of talents like speed and strength increased, driving up the stamina talent limit?
He analyzed a bit and decided to give up on the analysis; the thod of improvent wasn’t important, what mattered was that the upper limit increased.
However, he was sowhat dissatisfied with the "he" here when it ca to the abilities; with less than two months before turning 27, approaching peak period, "only" the mid-range shot was nearing the historical level threshold, and three-point shooting might also reach that level within the peak period.
But the layup had already been 94 three years ago, and it’s still the sa now, aning it’s more or less peaked, with little chance to break through that barrier.
Actually, a layup rating of 94 isn’t bad; it’s not just not bad, it’s outstanding. Three years ago, when he saw a layup rating of 94, he thought it was imnsely impressive, but now the mid-range shot is also 94, and the three-point is catching up... mainly because he subconsciously compares himself with Jordan, and this attack the basket ability does seem a bit lacking.
