79. Where to Go to University and Even Scarier Choices

```

Zhang Yang exploded for 61 points in the finals, a feat that wasn't in his plan. But with DeRozan and his teammates' help, he gladly accepted the gesture. Indeed, this could somewhat aid his jump straight into the NCAA.

He took a moment to recall his last trial and felt that there was still a significant gap in strength compared to his 12th-grade self on the '80 timeline, who scored 69 points in a single game. According to the messages, that seemed to be a solo effort, whereas his current 61 points came with the help of his teammates.

However, when he first started his previous training, the techniques he had learned were not much different from now, except for the post-up move that he still wasn't comfortable using in critical matches. Being a whole year older back then, it was natural for him to be stronger.

This also meant that as long as he kept working hard, he would at least be at that level by the time he reached 12th grade.
