Chapter 118: 87. Is it that he can’t teach? It’s those useless trash who can’t learn themselves!_2

Joe: "Would I say something superfluous? However, I think Raymond might have noticed it, but he still keeps up the big brother act."

Bickerstaff: "If that’s the case, Raymond is quite smart, and he’s lucky too. He met Jack first. If he had hung out with those old players on our team first, he would have picked up some bad habits, and even if he met Jack later on, they wouldn’t have been able to play well together."

Joe: "Yes, although Raymond’s skills aren’t that great, he’s lucky. Jack and I are of the same kind."

Bickerstaff: "..."

Such a poker face!

...

Zhang Yang completed a set of drills under Ingles’s instruction.

He was quite surprised by Tellem’s professional capability. At the end of last month, Tellem came to Charlotte to visit him and asked if he had any complaints about the team. He mentioned that the shooting coach wasn’t professional enough, and 10 days later, Joe brought a new shooting coach back.

Seeing Ingles, Zhang Yang deliberately recalled the last 10 days to confirm that this person was the future shooting coach of the Spurs.

Now that he was brought to the Bobcats, who would teach Leonard to shoot?

But that was something for many years later; who knows where Ingles would be working by then, and it wasn’t his business anyway. Whether others have a good shooting coach isn’t important; what’s most important is having a good shooting coach for himself.

As for Joe stopping lessons, Zhang Yang didn’t care much either. He had learned quite a bit in those 13 days and needed time to digest it all.

Some doubts he had when practicing the big bird’s back play and inconsistencies when practicing the step-back shooting that Hamblen taught him, he had thought of ways to improve over these past days and needed time to adjust his training routine.

And he wasn’t interested in Joe’s technique; it didn’t suit him. If you don’t have the physical condition of a god-tier player, don’t try to forcibly learn the god-tier players’ style of play.

He was only interested in Joe’s rich basketball experience.

During this period of interaction, he found that Joe, like DeRozan, couldn’t take provocation. When necessary, he just needed to challenge them, and they would jump out to provide experience...

Ingles was quite fond of the 17-year-old Zhang Yang because he found that Zhang Yang agreed with him on the details of shooting, and Zhang Yang was eager to learn.

In comparison, Felton gave Ingles a headache.

A 22-year-old player with ingrained shooting habits is difficult to correct.

And Felton had numerous issues with his shooting. Ingles could only say this was a very challenging job. freewёbnoνel.com

Fortunately, Felton’s subjective willingness to learn had grown several times over compared to just after playing in the summer league. Though he didn’t have the talent to infer other things from one fact like Zhang Yang, Ingles was pleased with his attitude toward hard work.

On August 18, Zhang Yang amassed 90,000 Shooting Value and was rewarded with an increase in the ceiling of his mid-range shooting talent by +1 and the fundamental skill of turn-around moves.

The talents he had improved so far had a total increase of 12 points: 4 points in stamina, 1 point in speed, 1 point in jumping, 1 point in strength, 3 points in three-point shooting, and 2 points in mid-range shooting.

The difficulty of the new missions had increased. The new mission, to improve physical attribute talents by +1, required 80,000 Shooting Value; the second mission reward offered the basic stance of triple-threat for 40,000 Shooting Value.

Continue the struggle, continue accumulating talents, but first take time to practice the fundamental turn-around skills.

"Quickly lay a solid foundation," he had experienced this when he got the "Defensive lateral stepping fundamentals" reward. He was able to quickly develop basic muscle memory, of course, only the basics. To actually make them usable, you still need to continue learning and practicing.

But having a foundation, whether learning from experts or developing techniques on his own, can save a lot of time.

Though the requirement for Shooting Value for tasks had increased, under Ingles’s guidance, his understanding of shooting details had greatly improved over the past half month, his progress had been quicker than before, and his speed of acquiring Shooting Value had also increased.

He laid a fast foundation for the basic turn-around skills. In three days, spending about an hour a day on this skill, the effect of "Quickly lay a solid foundation" ended, and he was already able to smoothly execute the back turn and jump shot movements... Although he couldn’t guarantee the stability of his shooting motion, Bickerstaff and Ingles were astonished when they saw Zhang Yang "casually practicing for three days" and mastering the turn-around shot. He finally realized how exaggerated the "talent" of a 17-year-old lottery pick was.

As time moved on to late August, on the 24th, the new academic year at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill began, and Zhang Yang caused a stir on campus when he went there to complete the enrollment procedure. Wherever he appeared, there was a throng of onlookers.

The University of North Carolina basketball team’s fans had differing opinions on Zhang Yang.

Some thought he was a basketball prodigy from UNC meant for the NBA; others felt Zhang Yang wasn’t really a UNC player—he didn’t even know what the UNC jersey looked like; and some were waiting to see if he performed well in the NBA, ready to take pride in him as UNC’s pride...

Bobcats’ players also started returning to the team around this time.

The earliest to return was Gerald Wallace, who had been criticized by Joe for not showing a hint of passion for basketball in his eyes.

But after Ingles had coached Gerald Wallace for a few days, he praised Wallace to Zhang Yang for his hard work and eagerness to learn, holding Wallace up as an example to encourage Zhang Yang to continue to put in effort.

Zhang Yang was curious as to why there was such a difference in the two men’s opinions about Wallace; neither had any reason to be dishonest about this... A man’s curiosity is hard to control.
