He figured there were two reasons, one related to age. Three years ago, during the 1987 playoffs, 'he' was already 24 years old. Even though around ten more talent points were added later, some frequently used scoring methods were already quite mature, and making qualitative progress is difficult; attacking the basket was then the most mature scoring method.
In contrast, the less technically diverse mid-range shot, the three-point shot that hadn't been focused on developing, had more room for improvement.
The other reason was physical fitness, and compared to those physically talented guys, there was still a gap.
This made Zhang Yang think of himself. Although he can't copy exactly, with his current talent, training attitude, and game opportunities, he is steadily growing. By the same age, he will definitely be stronger than this 'him.'
But, how strong? A half-tier? Does he have the ability to catch up with the era of Magic Bird God?
