Zhang Yang and DeRozan were both very happy, sticking to their mantra, "come at us, and we'll hit you back!"
In this situation, Thomas, the head coach, didn't try to stop them.
This was his first time coaching players as talented as Zhang Yang and DeRozan, and he kept raising his expectations for their progress. Yet they continued to exceed his expectations; his training plan could no longer keep up with their improvements.
When they had their own game plans, he felt it was best not to interfere and just provide them with the maximum support in individual training, team training, and tactical preparation.
On the bright side, with these two holding back, Tatum and Miller would get more practice opportunities, which was a good thing!
Moreover, when facing the top four teams in District 3, such as Inglewood High School, Southern California High School, and West Hollywood High School, the duo played with great focus and didn't fool around.
