Jordan told Zhang Yang during the team meeting, "You have a high scoring talent, so focus on perfecting your offense. You can develop other skills, but remember, shooting the ball into the basket is what you're best at."
Jordan said this because Zhang Yang had talked to the coaching staff about learning high-post back-to-the-basket offense when he was idle, and Jordan specifically wanted to remind him.
On October 9, Zhang Yang traveled with the team to Atlanta.
The training camp had ended the day before yesterday, they rested yesterday, and tomorrow they would start their preseason games away against the Hawks team.
After resting for a night in Atlanta, the Bobcats arrived at Philips Arena to challenge the Hawks team on their court.
