"That kid, he's improving so fast!"
Zhang Yang's Euro steps made even Ginobili exclaim in astonishment.
He had been ready to be subbed in early, having pulled down his training pants halfway, but Zhang Yang's last two plays made him sit back down.
Next to him, McDyess spoke in a deep, resonant voice, "Jack is the hardest working youngster I've ever seen. The progress he's made is well-deserved."
Ginobili shook his head, "It's not just about hard work..."
The Euro step isn't a particularly difficult move, simply put, it's a three-step layup. But it's also quite complex, with a high ceiling that makes it almost impossible to defend, and yet a low floor that can make it worse than a standard three-step violation.
Timing, anticipation of the opponent's movement, sense of position, balance... it all requires a very high level of overall ability to execute well.
