I want to be a superstar.
Chapter 31 Saying Goodbye to the Past!
"Hey Ye, why do you think Rodney went to Eastern Washington University, that bottom-feeder team?"
"Didn't he say in an interview that he wanted to win the NCAA championship? Maybe he has a special eye and can see things differently from others."
Why Rodney Starkey went to Eastern Washington University was something Ye Si didn't quite understand either.
Starkey rejected the University of Washington, not wanting to compete with Nate Robinson or Roy, which is understandable; he had thought the same way before.
But even he has a backup option like the University of Arizona.
Rodney Stuckey's backup plan can only be better.
Starkey was the champion and MVP of the Washington State High School League last year!
What kind of team is Eastern Washington University?
Last season, the NCAA's record was 8 wins and 20 losses.
Even in the BSC conference, which is considered a bottom-tier conference in the NCAA, they are still considered bottom-tier.
Even Eastern Washington University head coach Mike Burns never imagined he could actually recruit Rodney Stuckey.
"Rodney, our whole team will create plenty of one-on-one opportunities for you in this game. You can showcase your best offensive and defensive skills in front of fans across America!"
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
Alaska Airlines Arena was packed to capacity once again today.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
The deafening "Yes" chants from the entire stadium made Stuckey feel as if he were back on that humiliating night four years ago.
Roy's defense left him in a sorry state, while Yes's offense left him helpless.
His genius and dignity were brutally trampled underfoot by Yes and Roy.
He originally thought that defeating Yes for three consecutive years had completed his revenge.
Both Yes and Roy have become mere passersby on his life's journey.
His future is bright; he's already on the path to the NBA!
As for Yes and Roy, they will only become tiny specks of dust in the vast universe.
He said goodbye to them, never to see them again...
But how long has it been?
These two specks of dust, which he had already considered mere passersby in his life, have transformed into the brightest stars.
Moreover, the two are now even more popular than they were four years ago!
He has played 12 games this season at Eastern Washington University, but none of them have been broadcast nationally.
The University of Washington has also played 12 games this season, six of which have been nationally televised!
Yes and Roy are now not just the focus of attention in Washington state or Seattle, but across the entire United States!
This was his first time playing in a game that was broadcast live across the United States.
He will put an end to this "Yes storm" sweeping across the United States in front of a nationwide audience!
This time, he will carry out his final revenge!
He wanted to tell Yes and Roy that his power far exceeded their imagination!
"Brandon, Ye, have you noticed that Rodney has been watching you the whole time?"
"Rodney's looking for revenge, isn't he? Four years ago, Brandon and Ye went too far. I remember in that game, Rodney only scored 2 points against Brandon's defense, while Ye scored 42 points, right?"
"Ha, Dean, you have a good memory."
"Of course, I will always remember my record against those geniuses."
"Dean, pick up the ball carefully!"
After Ye Si shouted at Dean Simmons next to him, he threw the basketball in his hand.
Upon hearing the sound of the basketball swishing through the rim, the Seattle fans in the arena stopped chanting "Yes" and instead let out a collective gasp!
"So close, so very close, it went in but then came out again!"
Seattle fans and those watching on TV felt a pang of regret!
Although my shooting touch wasn't as good as in the Duke game today, it was still much better than usual.
Do I have a hidden trait that makes me perform better in crucial matches?
Yes wasn't quite sure.
The sample size is too small.
Yes takes today's game between the University of Washington and Eastern Washington University very seriously; this game is very important to him.
But for the University of Washington, Eastern Washington University is just an ordinary fish in a pond.
Even with Starkey, it would only be considered a slightly fatter fish belly.
Yes and Starkey had been rivals for four years and were very familiar with each other.
Compared to high school, Yes felt that Starky had changed a lot when he saw him again.
The main change was in his temperament; Starkey now possessed a distinct arrogance befitting a genius.
In addition, Stuckey wore jersey number 32 in high school, but has now switched to number 3.
After finishing the pre-game shooting practice, regardless of whether Stuckey liked him or not, he still went over to greet Stuckey, his longtime rival.
"Changed idols?"
"They've changed their tactics!"
"Oh"
Magic Johnson has been replaced by Allen Iverson; that's quite a leap.
This also means that Starkey's skills are truly comprehensive.
"Yes never greets his opponents during a match. Yes is ruthless. Stuckey is the first person to make Yes like that."
"Yes and Stuckey were rivals for four years in high school, and their relationship is hard to define. This game will be their first and perhaps last college matchup, making it very significant for both of them."
The outcome of the game between the University of Washington and Eastern Washington University is almost a foregone conclusion.
Therefore, the commentary for this match focused on Yes and Staki from the very beginning.
The outcome of this match between Yes and Staki is more significant than the outcome of the match itself!
"This is the first time I've seen Bobby Jones win a jump ball while commentating on a University of Washington game this season. Eastern Washington is terrible, and Stuckey chose the wrong stage!"
Bobby Jones won the jump ball, and Yes dribbled the ball across half-court.
Yes was playing the shooting guard position in this game, but Conroy and Roy knew exactly what the focus of this game was, and they handed over the initiative to Yes.
Given Yes's current shooting threat, if he chooses to hold the ball, he will inevitably face close defense.
In fact, most teams would double-team him when he had the ball.
Given Yesna Liu Wei's level of ball control, he usually wouldn't attack with the ball like that; if he made a mistake, it would be very difficult to handle.
But this game is different, and Stuckey is different.
When Stuckey faces him, he never asks his teammates for help!
He and Starkey have always been one-on-one!
In the NCAA, each offensive possession has 35 seconds of shot clock time, giving him ample time and space to showcase his ball-handling and offensive abilities!
Of course, Stuckey's one-on-one defensive ability is better than any of his previous opponents.
Yes wasn't sure if he could actually defeat Starki one-on-one.
You only know after you try it!
"Starkey's close defense is very aggressive; he's constantly putting physical contact on Yesga!"
In high school, Ye Si was of average speed, average explosiveness, and average strength in physical confrontations. Facing Ye Si like this...
Starkey is very experienced.
If he keeps harassing and marking Yes like this a few times, Yes will lose control of the ball, and he will have a chance to steal the ball directly!
He didn't believe that Yes would choose to pass the ball on his first one-on-one game!
After twice marking Yes closely and forcing him back twice, Stuckey was already preparing to steal the ball!
"As soon as the match started, Yes and Starki went into one-on-one duel mode!"
The main theme of this match is the showdown!
Starkey is determined to take down Roy and Yes in a showdown to avenge himself!
Yes wants to use a showdown to take down Stuckey and improve his draft prospects!
"First time, second time, third time, this time, I'm serious!"
Starkey applied pressure to Yes with a rhythmic cadence.
This is a pattern he summarized from years of competing with Yes, and this rhythm is what makes Yes most uncomfortable!
At his pace, Yes couldn't escape or break free; he would become a lamb to the slaughter!
"This ball is mine!"
After patiently pressing the target three times, Starki finally made his move!
"What?!"
Empty?!
"A beautiful ball control and acceleration! Stuckey was completely outmaneuvered by Yes!"
Such explosive power? How is that possible?!
Stuckey, caught off guard by Yes's explosive power and unable to react, turned around to find the white number nine player already preparing to dunk!
With a bang, Yes dribbled past all the Eastern Washington University players who were caught off guard and completed the one-handed dunk!
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Yes's dunk ignited the passion of the Airline Arena!
"This is the first time Yes has scored in the NCAA in this way. His speed and explosiveness are unmatched by Stuckey and the players from Eastern Washington!"
After completing the dunk, Yes stretched out his index finger into the air, lowered his head, and enjoyed the cheers from the crowd.
No one could see what Ye Si's expression was like right now.
Still indifferent, or happy, or surprised?
No one knows.
After making a dribbling breakthrough against Stuckey, Yes had many finishing options.
But in the end, he still chose the dunk, which is what he is least good at and is also the easiest to slip on at high speed!
Dunking is the offensive way he can best express his inner emotions right now!
This dunk was his farewell to the past three years!
Stark isn't as strong as he thought anymore...
Or rather, he really did become stronger!
