No.1 in basketball scoring-Chapter 813 - 345. God has always been on my side_3

Basketball, football and such, even without talent, you can still play and learn how to play, it’s not so hard to get started.

But math, he was really good at math in high school, scored A in every exam for three years, even graduated early with an A, and got high scores in SAT math. But in college... lucky he chose a major where this wasn’t needed.

After a while of studying, he dumped math and science to the side, and started reading philosophy books. Philosophy is still the best, reading it for a while makes him feel like he knows everything about the human world...

After a night’s rest, the next day, February 22nd, the Bobcats’ 53rd regular season game day of the season arrived.

Zhang Yang arrived at the arena early, seeing his teammates, really not a bit... of unfamiliarity at all.

On the rookie game day, it was Boss Qiao’s birthday, and the whole team went to New Orleans.

At 9 am, Zhang Yang attended the team meeting, this meeting was really long, lasted the whole morning, unrelated to the evening’s opponent. Playing against the Clippers, they’ll just go straight into the game.

From Paul Silas and Randy Brown talking about tactical adjustments, to players giving their opinions, to team-wide discussions...

In the past 8 days, the coaching staff hasn’t been idle, taking time to study the team’s system, this is the last major adjustment this season, regardless of how they perform later, the core tactical framework won’t move.

A few key players, including Zhang Yang, weren’t just resting, during breaks they also thought about what went well and poorly in the first half of the season’s offense.

Since their early season offense was good, there were certainly bumps, but overall it’s been heading in the right direction. This time, the coaching staff prepared a week’s adjustment, and the meeting discussion progressed well.

In the afternoon, there were two 20-minute offensive tactical training sessions, looking good.

In the evening, the Bobcats at home faced the challenge from the Clippers.

Thanks to Zhang Yang’s performance in the final 4 minutes, making 3 out of 2 field goals and 4 out of 3 free throws, scoring 7 points in solo drills, the Bobcats narrowly won over the Clippers 104 to 99, avoiding a three-game losing streak and improving the record to 39 wins, 14 losses!

Carlisle wasn’t very satisfied with tonight’s performance. After returning to the office, he said to the assistants: "Except for Jack, the others were not prepared."

Zhang Yang played 39 minutes throughout the game, made 19 out of 10 field goals, including 5 out of 2 three-pointers, and 7 out of 6 free throws, scoring 28 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. Although scoring was not up to season average, the efficiency was very high.

Vincent: "This isn’t a matter of preparation but rather experience in cooperation, you’re asking Brad to pass in the way he’s accustomed, this situation is bound to happen."

Carlisle: "We need them to adapt quickly, our offense can then improve... right, Randy, talk to Brad more, let him not worry about making many turnovers, this isn’t on him."

Randy Brown laughed: "Okay, but Rick, it’s rare to see you worried about a player’s mindset being impacted by this."

Carlisle: "Of course I have to care about it. Brad, for good cooperation with teammates, has actively adjusted his passing method, I told him to pass the way he’s accustomed, so the blame for poor performance lies with me."

Brad Miller tonight scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 turnovers, but the turnovers aren’t his fault.

In the morning meeting, Carlisle arranged for him to pass in the way he’s most accustomed, so he used the passing way when he partnered with Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja, Divac back then.

For the Bobcats players, this is somewhat advanced, if they could play such passing and receiving, they wouldn’t be only fourth in the league in offense.

Carlisle’s evaluation of that Kings team—nowadays, they could average 120 points a game.

The remark is somewhat exaggerated, but it reflects that Kings team’s offense is highly recognized in the coaching circle.

Brad Miller not only made many turnovers with his passes tonight, sometimes when teammates received the ball, it wasn’t in the comfortable shooting rhythm or passing position, contrary to their usual play.

Vincent: "Rick, you don’t have to worry too much, at least Jack and Raymond are now able to receive Brad’s passes well."

Speaking of the Double Guns, Carlisle smiled: "Jack has already started to adjust his catching habits. Before the All-Star break, the synergy between him and Brad has been improving all along, passing and receiving better and better. Raymond when off-ball only responsible for spot-up shooting and cutting along the baseline for floaters, their cooperation with Brad is good."

Vincent: "Don’t set Jack as the standard for everyone, we haven’t coached any player who can match Jack? Also, even though others didn’t adapt well in this game, they are making efforts to adjust, Emeka performed especially well tonight."

Zhang Yang was the key player tonight, but Okafor was the one with the best performance, making 15 out of 9 field goals, 10 out of 7 free throws, scoring 26 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks.

The former responsible for key shots, while the latter supporting the team during regular times, grabbing 7 offensive rebounds in a single game, allowing teammates to dare to shoot when not in the usual rhythm, aiding in adapting to new catch-and-shoot rhythm.

After nitpicking, Carlisle didn’t express more dissatisfaction, speaking out was meant to give the colleagues the pressure they deserve, secondly to let Vincent aid with mentality adjustment.

Next, the coaching staff began to discuss what went well and poorly tonight... freёwebnoѵel.com

The next day, at noon on the 23rd, Zhang Yang left Charlotte with the team, heading to The North, Toronto, completing a six-home game streak crossing the All-Star weekend. Next up is a three-away game stretch, opponents all playoff-contending teams.

Last night, playing against top pick contending team Clippers only scored 104 points, Zhang Yang knows, the next stretch is another test!

He is mentally prepared, regardless of how the team performs during the adjustment period, he needs to stay steady, providing confidence to his teammates!
