One Year Left to Play-Chapter 201 - 66: You Need to Learn Passing

Thinking that wherever he went, he would become a thorn in others' eyes... He took this as others' jealousy!

He couldn't understand why, as a fellow high schooler, Zhang Hao was so outstanding. Garnett envied him but didn't think about learning from him. He always knew he wasn't likable, and even with strangers, there weren't many who were friendly to him after getting to know him.

Garnett never thought about how to change this situation because of his past experiences. On the surface, he couldn't show weakness, and over time, in his mind, he developed his understanding of weakness and strength.

Watching Zhang Hao and his group walk away, he suddenly had an idea—"Since everyone finds me disagreeable, I'll become the most disagreeable of all!"

...

On Zhang Hao's side, he didn't pay much attention to Garnett's personality issues. In his perception, Garnett was much worse than that.

But during dinner, he remembered something—when he was at the Adidas Training Camp, his height almost reached Garnett's nose.

Zhang Hao thought about standing next to Garnett just now and felt like the height gap had widened! But during the team meeting in the morning before tactical training when analyzing the Minnesota Timberwolves' lineup, Garnett's listed height was still 211 centimeters...

In other words, Garnett grew taller during the summer of his 19th year than Mr. Zhang did, but it wasn't updated, or perhaps...

Zhang Hao recalled that Garnett seemed to be noticeably taller than the legitimate 211-centimeter PJ Brown.

"Shameless! How shameless can someone be to fake their height like this?"

After dinner, Zhang Hao went back to the gym with three people, who drove back to Jersey City, while Zhang Hao took a walk to the gym after eating, preparing to practice his turnaround fadeaway a bit more.

His current training goal is to get to the point where the moment an idea pops into his head to make a move, his body can perform it smoothly, instead of having to prepare in advance like now.

This preparation refers to having already decided during positioning that the offense will be a turnaround fadeaway, but sometimes the opportunity arises unexpectedly with no time to prepare. He could react during that offense to choose a turnaround fadeaway, but not being ready in advance meant his execution wasn't precise.

This is because his fundamentals aren't solid enough.

Entering the gym, when Zhang Hao reached the fork at the main and visiting team training court entrance from the staff passage, he saw lights on the visiting team's side.

"This is..."

Upon entering, Zhang Hao saw Garnett practicing his iron-blooded mid-range shots.

With the same iron-blooded style, Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie.

In some ways, Garnett was much more perceptive than Zhang Hao and immediately noticed his arrival, picking up the ball from his iron-blooded mid-range shot miss and tossing it to Zhang Hao: "Want to train together?"

"Sure." Zhang Hao didn't refuse, taking off his jacket to reveal his sportswear underneath.

Seeing Zhang Hao begin to warm up, Garnett hesitated for a moment but couldn't help asking, "Why are you so close with your teammates?"

Faced with this sudden question, Zhang Hao didn't react quickly, internally deciding to be a bit tactful and responded, "I guess it's because I'm more likable."

Though it was quite tactful, Garnett turned his head and continued his training, ignoring Zhang Hao.

"..." Zhang Hao couldn't think of anything better to say to Garnett. He couldn't lie, right? This guy has no redeeming qualities! Doesn't he realize that himself?
