Among the 13 players, there are 9 aged between 19 and 25, and today Okafor, who just turned 27, is already the fourth 'oldest' in the team. You should know that last season Okafor was one of the 'young saplings'.
The main reason is that last season more than half the players were over 30, with several veterans aged 33 and above, and the average age over 30. Now, besides O'Neal and Hill, the only ones qualified as veterans are Marion, who is 31 from the '99 class, and Perkins, who will soon be 25 from the '03 class.
After organizing the test reports he went through, Zhang Yang went home to change into more formal attire, brought the prepared gift, and then headed to Okafor's house to celebrate his 27th birthday with his teammates.
In the past, Okafor never celebrated his birthday with people outside of his family. This time, it's because he bought a new house and his wife thought they should celebrate.
