Beat the Boss at the Start (Please Subscribe) “You’re giving me a chance to shine, aren’t you?”

“Aren’t you?”

Zhang Yang and DeRozan looked at each other and smiled, indeed thinking along the same lines.

Three and a half months ago, during the warm-up match phase, they had to give their all, cooperating with each other and uniting the team to win.

But now, they could clearly feel that they were ‘hindering’ each other’s growth.

Now forming a team together, for high school games, they were just too strong.

Even if there were two or three teams that could potentially beat them, they wouldn’t face them many times in a season.

If one of them led the team alone, he could get much more practice.

Both were worried that bringing this up might create friction between them, but now they no longer had to worry about it.

DeRozan, “Jack, are you planning on skipping a grade to go to college?”

Zhang Yang, “Yes, I’ll take the SAT in March and the college preparatory course final and graduation exams in April.”

DeRozan, “College will be quite challenging!

The toughest opponents we face now will just be freshmen there.

I’m going to the Moore League, so you don’t have to skip a grade, do you?”

Zhang Yang, “Next season, Carmelo, Kevin, and James will definitely be stronger than now.

Those three from the reserve team will also make the main team.

I heard Gordon is even better than Carmelo was last year.

Playing with them, there won’t be much challenge next season…

I crave more worthy opponents.”

DeRozan, “More worthy opponents, huh?

That’s only possible in college…

college.”

Zhang Yang, “Are you thinking about skipping a grade too?”

DeRozan, “I’m not confident in my grades, I might not pass the 11th grade.”

Zhang Yang, “You need to believe in yourself.

Take the ‘might’ out, and you definitely will fail.”

DeRozan: Do you believe I’d smash my head into you and take us both out?

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, he chose his teammates himself, don’t get angry…

Having communicated their decisions about the future, the two happily reached an agreement.

…

In the evening, when Zhang Yang returned to Hidden Mountain, he noticed his mother’s belly was indeed very large.

Zhang Yang, “Mom, when is my brother due to be born?”

Yang Jing, “There’s still one month to go until the due date, but it’s hard to say exactly, why, didn’t you say you wouldn’t help take care of your brother?

You seem more anxious than I am!”

Zhang Yang, “I’m not taking care of him.

If he’s born next month, he’ll be Little Goku brother, but if he’s born in February, he might end up being a rapper learning to sing and dance.”

Yang Jing, “You want your brother to be a singing, dancing rap artist?

That’s quite fun!

It would be best if he learned street dancing, be a cool kid…ahem, I mean if Zhong Yang has artistic talent, we can nurture that, not just for fun.”

“…I believe you!” Zhang Yang was speechless for a moment, then suddenly reacted, asking, “Zhong Yang?”

Yang Jing, “Yes, we’ve already chosen your brother’s name.

It’s Zhang Zhongyang.”

Zhang Yang, “My name is Yang, so my brother is called Second Yang?

That name is too earthy and casual!

If I have another brother in the future, are you going to name him Uncle Yang?

Three Prosperous Yangs?

How can you decide on names without discussing them with me?

I don’t agree to this name!”

Yang Jing, “Do we need your agreement to name our son?

It simplifies things…okay then, Yangyang, do you have any better ideas?”

Zhang Yang, “Of course!”

Yang Jing, “What is it?”

Zhang Yang, “Zhang Dijia…

hey, hey, hey, Mom, don’t hit me…

then how about Zhang Tailuo…”

After the playful argument, his dad had dinner ready, and the family of three had dinner together.

During dinner, Zhang Yang talked about wanting to skip a grade to go to college.

His parents had no objections; it really didn’t seem like a big deal.

If he could skip the 12th grade and enter a prestigious university, it would save a year’s worth of high school tuition and living expenses from an economic standpoint.

If the skipping didn’t work out, he would just continue with the 12th grade.

After all, the purpose of high school is to prepare for college.

It’s not like he was 14 or 15 years old jumping to college, where the age difference with classmates would be concerning.

In another half-year, he would be 17, which is a normal age to attend college.

Zhang Yang’s idea to skip the 12th grade was inspired by Farmar.

Farmar, by the end of his 11th-grade season, felt he was no longer challenged in high school and wanted to start college early.

He indeed had the capability to play college basketball at that time.

When UCLA heard about it, they were very enthusiastic, offering many concessions, such as allowing Farmar to skip the Brown Bears Team tradition and start as a freshman.

But when everything seemed ready, Farmar ran into problems; his academic performance was too poor.

In March, May, June, and August 2003, he failed the college entrance exam four consecutive times, and his SAT scores didn’t even meet the minimum requirement for special admissions.

He could enter UCLA as a preparatory student, but preparatory students can’t participate in NCAA games…

In the end, this plan fell through, and Farmar returned to high school, worked hard for another year, and finally passed the minimum score line in June this year and successfully entered UCLA.

DeRozan, his parents, and the coach had all been informed; he and DeRozan had agreed to wait until the end of the season to discuss it, dropping hints in the meantime to avoid the coach being unable to accept it.

For the next two days, Zhang Yang didn’t go to training, instead spending time resting with his mother.

On the 25th, Christmas, the Zhang family watched the Lakers and Miami Heat’s Christmas showdown.

Big Shark moved east, The Wild Head finally achieved his dream of being the boss and also managed to get rid of the charlatan who had always targeted him, switching to a new coach, Tom Janovich.

Under Tom Janovich’s coaching, the Lakers had a decent record so far, 14 wins and 11 losses, tied for seventh in the Western Conference.

In the epic battle, the Lakers and Miami Heat exchanged leads.

Kobe, in his second year, dominated the older Wade, scoring 42 points while holding Wade to 9 out of 26 shots.

The Lakers nearly won…in the final moments of regular time, Eddie Jones scored two three-pointers consecutively, evening the score and pushing the game into overtime.
