I want to be a superstar.

Chapter 15 A Team Full of Hidden Talents

At the University of Washington Huskies training facility, head coach Lorenzo Romar and his "young" assistant coach Thomas John Ozerberg intently watch their players "play the game."

"Thomas, what do you think?"

"Justin is very fast, and he doesn't seem to be much slower than DeBron from UIUC (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). I've seen DeBron do these long-distance ball-handling hurdle runs, and he's only slightly faster than Justin. In comparison, Ryan is much slower."

"Ryan's style is playmaking and passing, which is different from Justin's aggressive style. It's normal that he's a little less physically gifted. The key point is Ye; even someone with Justin's speed is slower than him!"

The obstacle course game with the ball is a great test of a player's defensive skills and speed.

Romar was well aware that Yes was technically proficient.

However, his physical talent has not improved over the years. Speed ​​used to be Yes's advantage, but it has become his weakness.

Otherwise, Justin Dentmon and Ryan Appleby wouldn't want to play this game with him.

To put it nicely, it's because we haven't seen each other in a long time, so we're hanging out together.

The real intention was to expose Yes's weaknesses as soon as he arrived at the University of Washington.

No matter how well-rounded your skills are, if you're a guard and you lack speed, it means you won't have any offensive impact and you'll be a sieve on defense, so you won't be able to start!

Lorenzo Romar graduated from the University of Washington and is a former Golden State Warriors player who played in the NBA for several years. He is a 1'85" guard.

Compared to Yes, he personally prefers Ryan Appleby or Justin Dentmon to be the team's starting point guard.

As for Yes, although he has a full scholarship and is more important to the team, his physical talent is average, but his skills are all-rounded, making him suitable as Roy's substitute.

When you are a complete forward.

The team's previous style was built around Nate Robinson, and Justin Dentmon is simply a taller, but otherwise weaker version of Nate Robinson.

His starting position would be a perfect fit for the team's tactics.

But now it seems he was completely wrong.

"Did Yes hide his abilities in high school? Why would he do that?"

Romar was puzzled as he watched Yes, who could still suppress Justin Dentmon by a narrow margin.

If he had displayed such speed and other hidden talents in high school, even a true powerhouse like North Carolina or Duke would probably have been interested in him.

"Mr. Romar, haven't you noticed that Brandon and the others' morale has also increased after he decided to join the University of Washington?"

"You mean, he did it on purpose? He just wanted to get into the University of Washington?"

"That's the only explanation. Do you really believe that the Yes who burst onto the scene back then suddenly lost his potential? He wasn't even 15 years old then. How could someone under 15 years old have his talent dried up? He's been suppressing his talent, not wanting to be tempted by bigger powerhouses. He just wanted to come to the University of Washington and play with Brandon and the others. After all, in the United States, there aren't many people who can resist the temptation of top powerhouses like North Carolina and Duke. The last one was LeBron James."

"Afraid of succumbing to temptation, they simply hide their talents, making themselves less attractive and less noticeable?"

Why did those words sound so strange to him?

"Mr. Romar, not all Americans are as flamboyant as Nate. Isn't Brandon the same? Since coming to the University of Washington, he has never tried to unleash his true potential. Besides, Ye is not American; he is Chinese."

"The Chinese... well, those Garfield High School graduates really are all eccentric. It seems Brandon has been holding back his energy, waiting for the Garfield Five to reunite?"

"It seems that way, Mr. Romar. Perhaps it's not time for us to give up this year. If Brandon can give it his all, and Yes can show the talent he had back then, then..."

Ozeberg didn't finish his sentence, but Romar understood what he meant.

"Looks like the starting lineup battle is already decided, Thomas. You know the Garfield quartet better than I do."

"Heh, after all, I'm their defeated opponent."

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, Ozeberg taught at Bullington Christian Center High School, where he was violently swept away by Garfield High School.

Later, feeling that he was not suited to be the head coach, he accepted an invitation from the University of Washington to come here as an assistant coach.

Hearing Lorenzo Romar say this, Ozeberg was filled with anticipation.

Aside from Seattle fans, he's probably the one most looking forward to seeing the Garfield quartet reunite.

Can they stir up the same storm in the NCAA?

Although it was difficult, it didn't stop him from looking forward to it.

爆发力:76.8/64(80),速度:96/80(80)

This was the first time Yes had demonstrated his rapid growth talent in the outside world!

It feels great!

The feeling of dribbling the ball and running around the field brought back that feeling from back in the day!

This made him feel that all the waiting for the main quest and all the effort he put in over the years to get John Wall's (high school) trading card were worth it.

The feeling of reaping the rewards of hard work is the most exhilarating feeling!

After dribbling the ball across the finish line and becoming the first to reach the finish line, Yes clearly sensed the surprise of the other University of Washington players.

Even Roy and the others were extremely surprised.

"Ye, your speed?!"

"It's been many years since I've run like this, haha, I'm a little rusty."

"Haven't run like this in many years?"

When Roy and the other three heard Yes say this, they were first taken aback, and then their surprise turned into delight!

Yes's talent hasn't disappeared, which is the best news for them!

Meanwhile, the other University of Washington players, upon hearing this, had an "I see" expression.

That Seattle genius from back then hasn't fallen from grace.

"You've been hiding your true strength all these years?!"

Justin Dentmon and Ryan Appleby, who crossed the finish line after Yes, both had their faces flushed red.

"What, you don't want to keep the bet?"

Justin Dentmon, who originally wanted to argue with Yes, held back after Ryan Appleby tugged at his jersey, though he was very unwilling.

"This time, we're willing to accept defeat!!"

After saying that, the two turned their backs to Yes.

These two are honest people, and Justin Dentmont's physical talent is indeed very strong.

If his performance hadn't been so unexpected and disrupted Dentmont's rhythm, the final outcome would have been hard to predict.

While Justin Dentmont may not be as fast as him, Dentmont has better explosiveness, which gives him an advantage in such obstacle courses.

but……

Let's kick it first and talk about it later!

For him, unfamiliar butts are now equivalent to single-draw tickets, and kicking these unfamiliar butts is equivalent to drawing cards.

Who knows if kicking it will give you a +1 burst damage boost!

With a snap...

Ryan Appleby flew out!

no effect.

Another snap...

Justin Dentmont flew out!

"Yes, you're too cruel!"

Justin Dentmont, standing up and rubbing his buttocks, shouted angrily.

"Is that ruthless? This was agreed upon beforehand."

"You just wait, next time, I'll definitely beat you!"

"If you can't win this time, you'll be even less likely to win in the future."

Seeing the notification that his explosive power had increased by 1, Yes said with a smile.

"snort!"

Ignoring the disgruntled Dentmont, Yes squinted and cast an expectant gaze at Joan Brockman and Bobby Jones.

"You two, shall we begin?"

Seeing Yes's persistent nagging, Roy and the others laughed.

They originally thought they would be getting kicked along with Yes this time, but they didn't expect to end up kicking others alongside Yes.

"OK, OK, we misjudged you. We accept the loss. But yes, could you go a little easier?"

"You'll find out after the game."

Two more loud cracking sounds followed, but the two burly men didn't fly out.

Explosiveness +1!

Explosiveness +1!

Two consecutive explosive sounds, plus a +1 warning!

Two more? Is the University of Washington really such a pushover?

"Did Ye have this hobby before?"

Not far away, Romar was somewhat surprised to see Yes's eyes light up after kicking his teammate's butt.

"Mr. Romar, Yes has always been rumored to be an eccentric."

"Yes, I can see that, but it's not bad this way either."

It's really great. We're all young people, and growing together through ups and downs is the best way for young people to grow. We can inspire each other.

He had always hoped that Roy and Nate Robinson would be like that, but Roy simply ignored Nate Robinson's competition.
