Chapter 73 72. Beat whoever comes, keep your word! (Subscribe)
On Wednesday, October 10, Compton High School hosted San Jose High School.

After entering the stadium, Zhang Yang felt the hostile gazes from the opposite side.

When DeRozan went to the technical table to wipe the magnesium powder, he was provoked by the opponent. He did not say anything, but just looked at the other party with three points of disdain, three points of contempt, and four points of indifference, which provoked the other party to curse on the spot.

When the other side provoked, Zhang Yang, Tatum, Kanter, Monroe and others saw it and immediately went to help. The people on the opposite side also surrounded them and started a war of words.

Miller also wanted to help, but with his personality, he had never cursed in the streets since he was a child. After he went up to him, he was cursed in vain. Not only did he not help, but he also got angry.

But Miller also made a surprising discovery - Jack was so fierce in cursing! Jack, who usually never used black slang, cursed more dirty than anyone else!
Miller had no idea how Zhang Yang came up with those magical slang combinations to curse like that.

Moreover, Zhang Yang's eager look made Miller feel that Jack wanted to attack the opponent, but just didn't want to make the first move.

In the end, there was no fight. The referee, league supervisors, and coaches of both teams worked hard to separate the two sides, and the referee solemnly warned both sides not to cause trouble.

DeRozan felt that he was in trouble. After being pulled back to the bench, he apologized to Zhang Yang in a low voice.

Zhang Yang: "Why are you apologizing? They should apologize, not you who started it."

DeRozan: "I think maybe my expression was too arrogant..."

"You look arrogant, can you be blamed for that? I definitely can't blame you, it must be their fault, they don't even have the heart to tolerate that."

"..."

Zhang San is so unreasonable and hypocritical that Daluo is speechless, but feels so warm... Wait, what does it mean to look arrogant?
After speaking to DeRozan for a few words, Zhang Yang looked across.

They have no grudges against San Jose High School. Thomas said that they last played against San Jose High School in the championship last century... There seemed to be some minor frictions. They had a talented inside player named Drew Gordon in their reserve team, who was snatched away from San Jose High School.

Gordon High School started off very well. Compton High School had never had such an outstanding 9th grade freshman inside player. The inside twin towers formed by him and shooting power forward Abuya swept the Los Angeles County Tournament.

But the opposing players' strong hostility was obviously not because of this. Ryanwood High School had snatched Harden away, and they did not hold a grudge against Ryanwood High School. That should be the "credit" of the Los Angeles Herald.

In the report, before comparing the two of them with those people, they first stepped on a wave of California high school geniuses, which doubled the effect of attracting hatred!
Just as Zhang Yang had expected, they were given a wave of intensity at the beginning of the season.

However, seeing the other party's hostile look and the look of wanting to have sex with both of them, Zhang Yang became even more excited. So let's do it!

The atmosphere at the scene has become heated. Although the two sides did not fight just now, the fierce and violent street war between the two sides has already stirred up the atmosphere of the audience.

At 4 p.m., the game between Compton High School and San Jose High School started.

After the game started, DeRozan played very calmly and cautiously, and when he attacked, he was careful to maintain his success rate.

Because a certain man named Zhang played extremely aggressively, he would throw the ball whenever he had the chance, and he would also throw the ball when he didn't have the chance to create chances. On defense, he was like a mad dog... Ronaldinho had to stay calm and cautious to help Zhang San hold the bottom line.

The players of San Jose High School were aggressive and played very hard with rough movements, but Compton High School, led by Zhang Yang, was no less aggressive than the opponent. Tatum, Monroe, Kanter and others were even more violent than the opponent!
At 5:16 pm, the final whistle sounded amid the cheers of the audience.

张杨26投14中，外加6中4的罚球，拿到32分7板1助攻3抢断3盖帽，拿到在主力队的首个单场30+，率领康普敦高中以94比78大胜圣何塞高中！
德罗赞拿到20分4板4助攻，表现‘平平’，但10中6的中投表现准得惊人。

Tatum scored 7 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals... After the game, Zhang Yang saw the data sheet Thomas brought back from the technical desk and joked that Tatum had the style of Kidd.

Tatum was upset. Did he not want to score? He scored 8 points on 7 shots. Did he want to be so iron-fisted? Didn't he try hard to grab offensive rebounds to make up for his mistakes?
He was furious and wanted to challenge Zhang Yang on the spot... but Zhang Yang laughed and pressed him on the chair.

Tatum accepted his fate. He couldn't win in basketball or fighting, so he just had to defend well, grab rebounds well, and pass the ball well.

When it comes to playing basketball, he has always been very flexible.

...

The Los Angeles Herald's gimmick not only increased the intensity of Compton High School and attracted hatred to Zhang Yang and DeRozan, but also brought attention.

Today, there were just as many professionals coming to Compton High School to watch the game as there were at the opening game, and there were even college scouts from other states coming to observe their performance.

Zhang Yang was "bullied" by his teammates, so he took 26 shots and scored 32 points, which made the scouts realize another side of him. It turns out that Chinese players can be so aggressive.

Yes, in the eyes of the onlookers, the opponent wanted to bully DeRozan, and Zhang Yang led a group of people to quarrel and almost got into a fight. After the game started, he was still angry and led his team to beat the opponent. If Zhang Yang knew what the scouts were thinking, he would recommend them to watch the famous scenes of the Chinese men's basketball team's clashes with opponents in the past ten years.

After being 'bullied', DeRozan remained calm and played more steadily than usual, which also left a deep impression on the scouts.

It is very rare for a high school student to have such a calm personality.

After the game, the local newspaper interviewed Zhang Yang and DeRozan, and the reporter praised DeRozan for remaining calm after the conflict.

DeRozan never thought that he would play such a role one day, but between him and Ronaldinho, one of them has to be calm, and his personality is that of a cool and calm man, so he might as well take it as an exercise in stability.

When the reporter mentioned that the Los Angeles Herald had attracted hatred towards them, Zhang Yang replied: "I don't think it's a bad thing. At least many people know my name. But in order to avoid being beaten by opponents who target me, I have to work harder to make myself stronger and be able to defeat all opponents. We will beat whoever comes."

DeRozan thinks his friend is really crazy!

But it makes a lot of sense!
With two consecutive wins at the start, the new season for Compton High School has begun.

22号、24号、27号、31号，康普敦高中在10月下旬又迎来了4场比赛……和4场胜利！
The opponents in these four games were all of average strength, not weak, but not very strong either. They were defeated by the aggressive Zhang Yang and steady DeRozan.

Opponents were full of hostility when they saw Zhang Yang and DeRozan, and they fought very hard. However, Zhang Yang did not just say "who will beat who" casually, he really did it! DeRozan also did it!

Just as the players of Pomona High School complained privately, a team with players like Zhang Yang and DeRozan is already difficult to deal with. Having two of them on the same team is simply cheating!

6 consecutive wins! Compton High School continues to have a hot start, and continues to attract the attention of scouts and local media in California.

Many scouts and reporters are stationed at Compton High School's games.

Zhang Yang and DeRozan's performance was so outstanding that they turned the Los Angeles Herald's gimmick of stirring up hatred from a bad thing into a good thing!

The Los Angeles Herald brought them attention, and they continued to gain media attention with one outstanding performance and one victory after another. With the help of media reports, they quickly became famous in the California area!

The Los Angeles Herald predicted that Compton High School would be the biggest dark horse in this season's CIF Division I tournament, and Compton High School did it!
The media's focus on Compton High School is their winning streak and the statistics of their two talented players in each game.

Scouts look at those things, too, but they notice even more details.

They found that Zhang Yang and DeRozan not only performed well, but were also constantly improving!
If we only compare the performances of two consecutive games, we can't see anything. But if we compare the opening game with the latest game against Pacific High School, we can clearly see the progress of Zhang Yang and DeRozan.

张杨6场比赛场均26.5分8.3板2助攻2.8抢断1.8盖帽，得分、抢断、盖帽三项数据排在全队最高。

Comparing his opening game with Game 6, one can clearly see the improvement in his ability to run and catch the ball, the improvement in his pace in attacking the basket, and the increase in his success rate in attacking the basket.

DeRozan averaged 6 points, 22 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 5.8 steals in 1.5 games. After the opening game, his score has remained in the early 20s. His average score is lower than that in the reserve team and warm-up stage, but after 6 games, DeRozan's mid-range shooting percentage has increased to 50.6%! More and more stable!

Now when people watch DeRozan play, as long as he is ready to shoot, they think he can make it.

In addition, the core lineup of Compton High School is also improving.

After 6 games, the new cooperation mode of the three core players Zhang Yang, DeRozan and Tatum gradually took shape.

Zhang Yang is responsible for scoring and plays aggressively; DeRozan plays steadily and is responsible for providing backup and taking key shots; Tatum has transformed into a defensive organizer... The three players with different playing styles have found a wonderful balance after adjusting in several games.

A scout talked to Thomas about this matter and was shocked by the news he got.

Thomas revealed that their coaching staff is only responsible for formulating tactics based on the players' playing characteristics and game habits. How the tactics should be played on the court and what role each player should play are decided by their field commander.

And the commander on the field is Zhang Yang, who seems to have the most brainless and simplest playing style!
