Chapter 6 6. Have you ever seen Hidden Mountain at four in the morning?
After digesting it for a while, the two continued their training.

DeRozan taught more attentively and his tone was gentler.

Zhang Yang was a little confused by the other party's attitude. The change in attitude was a bit too sudden... He thought of a player whose nickname was Snake.

After practicing for a while, DeRozan felt that it was time to increase the difficulty, so he ran to the security room to borrow a chair and placed it under the basket as an obstacle, so that Zhang Yang had to avoid the chair when he was breaking into the basket to perform technical moves, and he had to perform technical moves within the range where he might be disturbed.

Zhang Yang never thought that he would have to train facing a chair one day, so did he wrongly blame Lian Mei?

Look, future traditional shooting guards will use chairs when they train.

Like yesterday, Zhang Yang trained in the morning and evening, helped out at home at noon, and watched videos and read books in the afternoon, which was considered a rest. The training time was about the same as yesterday.

The total number of shooting points obtained today is not as much as yesterday, only 316 points, and the shooting points obtained per unit time are even less than last night.

However, today's training was more difficult than yesterday, and getting over 300 is already very good.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhang Yang continued to go to the park with his lunch box. It was great to have a cheap dad who could cook.

Not long after he arrived at the park for training, something unexpected happened - DeRozan arrived at just over 6:!
And just like when he first arrived yesterday, his expression was very grumpy and his teaching attitude was extremely bad... No, it was even worse than yesterday!
It wasn't until after breakfast at 7: that DeRozan began to speak normally.

In Zhang Yang's opinion, this guy is a bit neurotic and has seizures from time to time.

He didn't care anymore. No matter what, things would return to normal anyway.

Thanks to my cheap dad for his great cooking skills!

He also didn't expect that his recognition of his parents in this life would be improved on the basketball court. It felt very subtle...

Another day passed. On July 7, Zhang Yang got up early for the fourth consecutive day to practice basketball.

When he arrived at the basketball court in the park, he saw a man practicing a turnaround jump shot on the court... ()
All of Zhang Yang’s confusion over the past two days was resolved in an instant.

He really didn't expect it was because of this...

Zhang Yang walked to the edge of the court. DeRozan paused training and looked at Zhang Yang with an obviously proud expression.

Zhang Yang asked, "Why are you here so early today? What time did you come?"

DeRozan: "6 o'clock, it's not too early, it's already daybreak. I don't want to get there earlier than you, I just woke up early today."

Zhang Yang's mouth twitched, and he said, "Demar, have you ever seen Hidden Mountain at four in the morning?"

So early? DeRozan asked in disbelief: "Have you seen it?"

"Me neither. I can't get up at 4 o'clock. From tomorrow on, if we want to come to training in the morning, we should all arrive at 6:."

Zhang Yang was scared and quickly explained it clearly, lest this guy really came over at 4 a.m. Then should he follow him or not?

It would seem embarrassing not to follow.

It must be said that snake players are really cool!

No wonder snake players are the easiest to succeed among the superstar's 'successors'.

This definition of "success" certainly doesn't mean becoming the best in the league or something like that.

Comparing the future DeRozan with James and Curry, he will definitely not be that good.

But compared to most athletes, DeRozan is definitely one of the best. He has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in his more than ten years of professional career and successfully achieved class transition.

DeRozan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to get up earlier. Before, he got up at 7 o'clock, had breakfast, and jogged to start training. Today he got up at 5:.

He didn't do it for any other reason, he just didn't want to lose, in any aspect.

After chatting for a while, the two began training.

DeRozan first watched Zhang Yang practice a few sets of layups, corrected some details, and then went to practice his own.

His strengths in basic skills, personal abilities, vision and judgment are only limited to those of his peers. As for layups, he has been almost mastered in the past three days and five training sessions.

He originally thought that it would take a longer time to teach him. When his junior high school coach helped him correct his bad layup habits, it took about a week. But for Zhang Yang, it was basically done in two and a half days.

DeRozan was still young at that time, and his concentration and hard work were not as high as Zhang Yang, but his foundation was much better than Zhang Yang's... He inexplicably felt the pressure.

Obviously, this new friend in front of me is still so weak.

Yes, he considered Zhang Yang a friend, but that only started this morning.

He did not consider Zhang Yang as a friend from the beginning, but only as someone he met on the court while visiting his grandmother's house for the summer vacation.

But after several training sessions with Zhang Yang, DeRozan realized that this guy really loves basketball and is willing to work hard for it, which made DeRozan willing to make friends with him.

He taught more and more seriously because Zhang Yang practiced harder and harder.

The signature characteristic of snake-type players - their likes and dislikes for other players do not depend on their strength, but on whether they work hard... Of course, it is not ruled out that he was in a good mood because he arrived earlier than Zhang Yang today.

After being "lazy" for more than two days, DeRozan felt that he had to work harder.

Although he thought it was impossible, it would be embarrassing if he was surpassed by this friend who was just starting to play basketball in the 10th grade.

...

几天后，7月25号晚上7点50分，张杨第8天训练结束。

During these 8 days, DeRozan would train with him every evening, but not necessarily in the morning. Including this morning, there were 3 days when DeRozan didn't come.

Zhang Yang summoned the door and calculated the shooting value obtained today - 612 points, which was dozens more than yesterday's 556 points, setting a new record.

He doesn't simply rush in and make a layup. If that were the case, he would have scored at least two or three hundred goals in the five hours of training today, right?
Three-step layup, turnaround layup, turnaround layup around the baseline, jump layup... He tries to include these basic moves every time he shoots.

Although the shooting value was a little lower, he felt it was worth it. Since he wanted to take this path, he couldn't be careless when laying the foundation.

After a few days of training, he no longer had to deliberately control his movements when breaking through for layups, and he began to practice his accuracy, and his progress was faster than he expected.

He accumulated 8 shooting points in 3537 days. School started on August 8th, and the school team began to recruit new members. There was definitely enough time to complete the task, but he didn't know how long the "training" would take. But he didn't worry about it. He didn't know what experience meant, so he just finished the task first.

Zhang Yang was about to say goodbye to DeRozan and leave, but saw that DeRozan had an expression that looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhang Yang asked, "What's wrong, Demar? Were you kicked out by your grandma because you were too naughty? It doesn't matter. I have a vacant room. You can stay at my house."

DeRozan instantly exploded: "You are the one who was kicked out of the house!"

After yelling, he really didn't hesitate for that long and said, "I met some annoying guys when I came here this morning."

Zhang Yang: "You came this morning? Didn't you help you sort the newspapers today?"

DeRozan: "I came at 10:30, and you had already gone home... They provoked me, and I couldn't help it, so I agreed to play with them."

"You can't beat them? Are they stronger than you?" Zhang Yang was very curious.

"The three of them are older than me, but I'm definitely better than them," DeRozan said confidently, "I'm just missing a teammate..."

Zhang Yang patted his chest and said, "You want me to help you? Why are you being so polite to me? I will definitely help you if you need me!"

DeRozan said hesitantly, "Although they are not that good, they are a few years older than us..."

Zhang Yang didn't care: "With my strength, am I still afraid of losing? But wouldn't it be more satisfying if I won?"

DeRozan couldn't help but say: "It's great to win, but I don't have the confidence to bring you along."

Zhang Yang looked at DeRozan with resentment, could you be more tactful?
That really hurts!
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Three of them? Who is the other person besides you and me?"
