No.1 in basketball scoring

"...In the playoffs, when you faced the seventh-seed Warriors in the first round, you averaged 27.7 points, leading the Lakers to defeat the Warriors 4-2, advancing to the second round.

In this series, you were forced into a three-point shootout with Stephen Curry, averaging 8.1 three-point attempts and making 3.1 per game, with a shooting percentage of 38.6%. Curry averaged 7.1 three-point attempts, making 3 per game with a shooting percentage of 42.2%. Fans jokingly called you 'winning by volume,' as you couldn't shoot as accurately as him, so you stuck to guarding him fiercely and took more shots than him.

With the team at a disadvantage in multiple positions, Curry relied on his league-leading three-pointers to push the series to Game 6, once again shining brightly in the playoffs.

After this series, Curry replaced Blake Griffin, and media and fans began debating who among you, Curry, and James Harden was the best player from the 2009 draft class.

In the second round, you faced your former team, the Spurs. After losing the first game and holding the second home game, you were down 1-2 after losing the first away game. In Game 4, you and Bryant exploded together, where you hit six three-pointers and Bryant made ten mid-range shots, combining for 62 points, leading the team to beat the in-form Spurs 118-112, tying the series.

During this period, you were selected for the All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive First Team, achieving the dual first-team accomplishment alongside Joakim Noah and Chris Paul for the first time in your career.

It is now May 9, and two days ago you completed Game 4 against the Spurs, with the do-or-die Game 5 coming up tomorrow...

Just shy of 26 years old, already dual first-team, Zhang Yang felt that the 'him' here was quite competitive.

But... with a thought, the content on the 'door' changed, he himself, here, 80 time line 25 years old, with three ability assessments tied.

The 'him' here, only in terms of offense, was not much stronger than himself.

Just the physical attributes were slightly better, weight, strength, stamina, among which, the strength difference was the largest. Because of these, in terms of defensive contributions, investment of effort, etc., the 'him' here was stronger than himself.

Compared to the 80 time line, at the same age of 25, the 10 time line here was obviously weaker, such as stamina, which was 96 at 25 on the 80 time line, and mid-range shot was 94; here the Attack the basket was stuck at 93...and here it was only after adding a few more Talent Points, reflecting that talents here were higher than on the 80 time line.

It's still due to the different starting points, the 'him' here, like himself, started playing at 15 and opened training for the first time in 2010, back then, talent points weren't even a few, basically playing with his own initial talents for 7 years, only starting to improve rapidly at nearly 22.

Whereas on the 80 time line, he opened after having brushed quite a few Talent Points already, and started playing basketball from a young age, entered the NBA after graduating in his senior year, having almost doubled the playing time before entering the NBA.

But even on the 80 time line, the same age couldn't compare to himself... What Zhang San can do for the 'him' on both time lines is to work hard to complete tasks, earn more Talent Points, and elevate the peak career periods to the heights that the 'bros' on the career golden times can achieve, for example here, at the age of 25, after the growth period, speed went up by 1 point compared to the last visit.

Thinking of this, he looked at the 'I'm aging slower' in the training gains, knowing that the 'him' here couldn't have a higher cap than himself, but certainly would have as long of a peak period... wondering if he could experience facing against the Battle Goat father and son ahead of time?

After taking a shower and reviewing the training information again, Zhang Yang went to the study, surfed the internet... Here indeed is better than the 80 time line, getting information was quite easy.

As expected, just as he thought, over the past year, the 'him' here was far from being as smooth as described in the training message, just regarding the record, after the first two months, they were only 18 wins and 13 losses, with a win rate of less than 50 wins.

He didn't know the specific ranking then, the final rankings were Thunder Team 59 wins first, Lakers 57 wins second, Spurs 56 wins third, Clippers 54 wins fourth, Trail Blazers 54 wins fifth, Rockets 52 wins sixth, Warriors 51 wins seventh, Grizzlies 50 wins eighth.

It can be seen from the final rankings, after the first two months, the Lakers were most likely ninth or tenth in the West, which ESPN predicted correctly.

The primary reason for this situation was the competition between 'him' and Kobe as the core scorers, in the first two months 'he' averaged 25 points, and Kobe averaged 24 points.

The training message mentioned Kobe's 'influenced by media underestimation, becoming more team-oriented' happening in 2014, 'he' was just that fierce, wearing out Kobe with the old man battle tactics until Kobe accepted his fate...

Then in January, they had a 13-3 performance, which completed the face-smacking, ending January with a 31-16 record, pushing up to fourth in the West... Here it can be seen, 'he' and Kobe, while competing, were still very professional, cooperating with Budenholzer to create a new tactical system, indicating that the poor record in the first two months wasn't entirely due to their competition with Kobe, but also the impact of the team's new system.
