55. Scared the opponent away?

Well, you could say the young man was in good shape; completely drained the previous night, he was back in action the next morning.

When Zhang Yang woke up, he felt like he was fully alert; he wasn't noticeably tired, just a bit of muscle soreness.

He rarely did this, but he spent the morning lounging in the hotel for a good rest.

He was still staying at the hotel; the time for team-sponsored room coverage had passed, and now he was paying for the room himself. He hadn't opted for renting an apartment because a good standalone apartment in a good location was nearly the same cost as a month's payment at the hotel, and it was closer to the ATT Stadium, with daily cleaning service included.

After lunch, Zhang Yang went to the ATT Stadium; today he was the only one training.

After last night's triple overtime victory, Popovich had walked back into the locker room and announced that this afternoon's training was canceled.
