No.1 in basketball scoring

On the morning of February 5, 2009, at 7 AM, Zhang Yang woke up from a deep sleep. As he got up, he still felt a tiny bit of discomfort caused by the double overtime.

Zhang San: The exhausting stamina forging method is surely not the way to go.

However, he felt that after resting another morning and engaging in moderate exercise in the afternoon, it wouldn't be much of a problem. It now felt like he had just finished a back-to-back game.

He picked up his phone and looked at the calendar.

There are four games left in the mid-season; tomorrow and the day after, there's a home back-to-back against the Wizards, then rest for two days. On the 10th, a home game against the Hawks team; the 12th, an away game against the Miami Heat to close the mid-season.

The schedule isn't difficult; only the Hawks team is a bit tough...

Suddenly, he felt as if he had forgotten something. He opened the 'Gate of Trials' and saw the progress of the trial tasks, then remembered he had started a trial last night, and had slept for over ten hours, muddling his mind and forgetting about it.

He recalled the trial, played against the Spurs trio and Doha Yi, exciting and thrilling, both opponents equally matched, only the finals lacked a bit of meaning, but experiencing a wave of 'Spurs Push', there was a unique flavor to it.

Ending the proactive recall, that part of the memory was sealed away, the images of those people and events faded from his mind, unremembered, but the part of learning skills still remained, the Son of the Wind version of ball-handler pick-and-roll attack initiation skills, Spurs system Angel City version tactics, Snake style post-up related skills, Snake style fadeaway related skills... there's plenty to practice and develop; he's going to be busy.

Zhang Yang 'looked' at the 'gate', the task progress showed both tasks were completed.

Defeated the Spurs, 'System Player?' completed, beat Miami Heat to win the championship, 'Glory Reappears' completed.

He inwardly issued the directive 'extract reward', the text on the 'gate' changed.

"Your stamina talent upper limit has been increased from 94 to 95, current stamina is 94 (upper limit 95, base upper limit 88, bonus 7)."

"Congratulations on receiving the task: System Player? Completion reward, there can be many kinds of peaks.

There can be many kinds of peaks: When age, injuries, etc. cause your physical fitness to start declining, your judgment of changes in physical fitness will be more acute. If you choose to proactively adjust techniques and game approaches, your body adaptability will improve."

Stamina +1, surely related to winning the championship with the old Ironsmith.

Nearing 36 years old, had much of the year off due to injury, physical fitness suffered due to conservative treatment, still able to maintain efficient output for over 30 minutes per game, and can handle 40+ minutes when needed... Kobe's physical fitness was remarkable.

Currently, Zhang San's base stamina upper limit is only 88, but that's just the upper limit for his current age. According to the 1980 timeline, his peak base upper limit at 25 or 26 years old should be 91; when he last went to the 1980 timeline, the stamina upper limit bonus was 5 points, and the stamina upper limit was 96.

The latter reward should be related to Stone Buddha, nearly 20-year career divided into four phases, every period has significant differences in playing style, but at every stage can be compared with the strongest players in the same position... a singular one in NBA history.

The Stone Buddha related 'There can be many kinds of peaks', combined with Sky Hook related 'I age a bit slower', together... outlast all opponents, am I the historical number one?

Whether it will be usable for him here in the future is uncertain, but in the 2010 timeline there 'he' is in luck, 26 years at his peak, with this combined trial harvest, extending the peak period for another 10 years should be no problem, right?

…

After getting up and having breakfast, Zhang Yang eagerly called to schedule a shooting coach, then proceeded to head to Tuhang Stadium.

Just played a double overtime back-to-back with the Lakers, and returned from an away game; these two days Carlisle didn't arrange for training.

Zhang Yang himself still felt a little discomfort in his body, and he didn't plan on extra training, at most carry out some basic aerobic and equipment workouts in the afternoon, regarded as part of physical therapy.

But he could begin communicating with Ingles about developing and expanding skills, letting him prepare well.

Ingles originally had two days off, forcibly turned into 1 day by Zhang Yang, and his future rest time might also be compressed. He's frustrated but cannot hold back his excitement—Zhang San is the most successful 'product' of his years of career!

The faster Zhang Yang's shooting technique improves, the stronger his shooting ability becomes, the more recognition the shooting coach receives, and regardless of whether it's contract renewal or job-hopping, he's more confident in negotiating a raise.

Legendary Trainer Tim Grove immediately said upon receiving Ingles' call that he'd fly to Charlotte tomorrow, watch the game live to study Zhang Yang's latest skill situation, and discuss together how to help Zhang Yang complete new skill development, as well as adjust details of existing skills.

Grove's salary has already reached the ceiling level for personal trainers, cannot increase further, and currently doesn't worry about not having business.

But as the saying goes, no flower lasts a hundred days; his fame rose with helping Jordan climb to world number one, Jordan retired years ago, more and more young players don't know who he is anymore.

Some people even regard him as riding on Jordan's wave, as he lacks many other representative 'products'; he indeed helped Kobe considerably, but because Kobe and Jordan are too similar, it doesn't show his capability diversity, and he's thought to only train that type of player.

Just like the Cavaliers' top double-team first-pick, scoffed at his 'reconstruct the foundation' suggestion, didn't even collaborate with him a second time.
