I want to be a superstar.

Chapter 32 The NCAA's Brightest Star!

"No NBA or NCAA-level player would employ the defensive tactics Stuckey used against an opponent of equal caliber. Stuckey lost his caution; his defense against Yes was filled with arrogance. Yes used his talent to tear apart Stuckey's arrogance with a beautiful dunk!"

"Stucky isn't Iverson, and Yes isn't Tyronn Lue. Stucky shouldn't judge Yes based on the perspective of the past three years. Yes today is completely different from who he was three years ago!"

"I've watched the game footage of Stuckey and Yes from the past three years. Stuckey was much calmer back then. The star power of Eastern Washington University made him slow down!"

Yes's one-handed dunk was a sight to behold, and Stuckey's first defensive play against Yes left the commentators and scouts speechless.

Yes has the ball, and there is no problem with close marking Yes.

There is no problem with applying physical pressure to Yes.

The question is, why strike so suddenly?!

Didn't Stuckey know that Yes was one of the fastest players in the NCAA?

Or did Stuckey not prepare properly for this game that was watched by the entire nation?

He was only thinking about how to beat Yes in this game and how to become famous in front of fans all over the United States?

Did Starkey prepare diligently for the game between the University of Washington and Eastern Washington University?

The answer is, of course, no.

Starkey didn't even consider how Yes was different now compared to Yes in the past three years.

He knew Yes all too well.

No one in the world knows better than Yes's level of performance over the past three years.

In three years, Yes hardly changed!

He could easily find many ways to defeat Yes!

This isn't arrogance; for Starkey, it's the truth!

This fact was utterly shattered by Yes in front of fans across the United States!

This made Starkey extremely embarrassed and unhappy!

Eastern Washington University is on offense. Stuckey dribbles the ball across half-court, and Roy is about to step up to defend, but is stopped by Yes.

"Yes, I want to personally lead the defense against Starkey!"

Stuckey was surprised to see that it was Yes who came to defend him, not Roy.

His defense just now was indeed based on wishful thinking, underestimating Yes's explosive power.

But now it's his turn to attack!

Stuckey has been shooting three-pointers very well this season, with a success rate of nearly 40%.

However, compared to Stuckey's other offensive methods, his three-pointers can be put on hold for a while.

When defending against Stuckey, Yes maintained a distance of half a step from Stuckey.

This is the defensive approach he has been using against Stuckey for the past three years.

If his physical strength is strong enough, he also wants to defend closely.

However, his fighting style is not very good, and his close-quarters approach is too dangerous.

Leaving him half a step of space gives him many more options.

On the defensive end, Stuckey will increase Yes's intensity, and naturally on the offensive end as well.

Faced with Yes's defense, Stuckey kept dribbling the ball and seeking physical contact with Yes.

They kept bumping, squeezing, leaning, and sticking to Ye Si, trying to disrupt his defensive footwork.

These familiar moves, which he had used countless times over the past three years, failed to achieve the desired effect this time?!

"Yes's defense is tenacious. He still doesn't like to engage in close physical contact, but his speed and agility allow him to quickly regain his position whenever his footwork is disrupted. It's a very tenacious defensive style, and Stuckey's offense is at a standstill!"

"Yes's defensive skills are excellent, but I think the key to his stalemate is his lack of explosiveness. Before, when Stuckey was slightly out of position, Yes used his explosiveness to tear apart the defense. Stuckey's explosiveness can't match Yes's quick recovery speed, so he can't take advantage of Yes's slight out-of-position opportunities!"

Is this the epicenter of the Yes storm, Yes?

Amazing!

On the sidelines, Eastern Washington University head coach Mike Burnley was seeing a defense that even Stuckey couldn't break through one-on-one!

Yes's strength and ability to fight are inferior to Starki's; Starki does seem to have the upper hand right now.

But advantages cannot be converted into victories!

Stuckey could constantly throw Yes out of position, but he could never break through Yes's defense.

It's like punching cotton; the cotton may deform, but it will quickly bounce back on its own!

In the NCAA, each offensive possession has 35 seconds, and the offensive team does not need to be in any hurry.

This situation still made Mike Burnley on the sidelines anxious.

As the head coach, he knew Stuckey's pride; Stuckey would never call for a screen, even if he really needed one!

Mike Burnley checked the time and finally waved to the Eastern Washington University players on the court!

"Stuckey used his teammate's screen to shake off Yes's defense and hit a mid-range jump shot with a very soft touch, tying the game at 2-2!"

"Yes's defense was excellent this time. Brockman lacks experience defending pick-and-rolls, giving Stuckey too much space!"

Brockman was annoyed that Stuckey could hit a mid-range shot right in front of him.

Everyone at the University of Washington knew how important this game was to Yes.

"Next time we switch onto him, we can stick closer to him."

Yes took the ball from Brockman's hand on the baseline: "Also, don't blame yourself."

"leaf……"

Winning the state championship, earning the state championship MVP, and going to the highly sought-after Eastern Washington University, all of this did make Starkey somewhat complacent.

But if he hasn't caught on after the first two possessions, then he doesn't deserve the title of one of the best guards in the NCAA right now.

In the past two rounds, he was defeated by Yes on the defensive end and blocked by Yes on the offensive end. Although the score was 2-2, the actual result was that he was completely defeated!

This result made him very angry!

But it also made him more composed!

Stuckey was noticeably more cautious during his second defensive play against Yes.

It was still close-marking defense, and he was still putting pressure on Yes.

But this time, Starki didn't intend to swallow Yes whole.

They didn't put all their power on Yes either.

The physical contact on the basketball court is like a boxing match.

When you are not absolutely certain of defeating your opponent, you need to save some strength for a comeback.

In the past three years, Ye Si could be knocked down with a single punch and crushed with all his might.

Now, he needs to conserve some of his strength to prevent a repeat of the previous situation.

After missing his first attack, he was torn apart by Yes without any reaction!

Starki's physical strength is superior to Yes's, that's for sure.

But if Starki didn't unleash his full power and instead reserved some of his strength, then it's questionable whether he's still superior to Yes in a confrontation!

"Stuckey's defense is no longer all-in, giving Yes plenty of space to control the ball. A beautiful crossover dribble, Yes is about to pull up for a three-pointer?!"

What?!

He's going to pull up for a three-pointer?!

Here?!

Starkey, of course, noticed Yes's intentions.

This time, the physical contact he faced wasn't as intense, but it wasn't something Yes could easily do.

He gave Yes some space, but only enough space for Yes to pull up for a jump shot!

The space for a pull-up three-pointer in the NBA!

And Yes actually pulled out a gun?!

Without the slightest hesitation, the opportunity presented itself, and it was pulled up!

48, 57, 71!

71 for feel!

Despite limited interference from Stuckey, Yes suddenly unleashed a pull-up three-pointer from the NBA three-point line!

With a whoosh

The three-pointer thrown by Yes drew a beautiful arc and swished through the net!

Is it a three-pointer from beyond the NBA three-point line, or a one-on-one pull-up jumper against Stuckey's defense?

Ye Si's shot selection stunned the NBA scouts on the sidelines!

"Unbelievable! That was an incredible offensive choice, a crazy shot! Yes made that unbelievable shot with so little space left!"

"That's Yes! That's Yes! That's Yes! In the NCAA, he's unstoppable one-on-one, even if the guy in front of him is Stuckey, one of the best defensive guards in the NCAA!"

"This is why we love Yes so much; the storm continues!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Listening to the wild shouts of the fans in the stadium, Stuckey felt as if he were in another world.

Was that shot really made by the opponent he had been dominating for three years?

Is the person standing in front of him really Ye Si?

Not Kobe, not Carter, not McGrady, not Iverson?

"Yes is too strong! Yes is really too strong! Brother Li, Yes is really too strong!"

Wang Han, a CCTV intern reporter in the media section on the sidelines, is now screaming at the top of her lungs.

Not only her, but many American media reporters in the media section stood up excitedly when Yes threw that ball.

"This is undoubtedly a superstar's shot!"

"Yes, he's the brightest star in the NCAA right now!"

Just one minute into the game, Yes threw a superstar shot at Stuckey, prompting Mike Burnley on the sidelines to call a timeout.

We lost, we really lost, after only three rounds!

He coached the strongest player ever, Stuckey, who was defeated by Yes!

He understood very well what it meant for a team like Eastern Washington University to have its core player defeated in this way!

"Ye, that shot was awesome!"

Roy and the others were always more excited than Yes!
