I want to be a superstar.

The game between the University of Washington and Eastern Washington University is still ongoing at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.

The enthusiasm of the Seattle fans on the sidelines continued to rise as the game progressed.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The fans' unified chants seemed capable of lifting the entire AirAsia Arena.

"If KeyArena could have the same nightly attendance as Airline Arena, Mr. Schultz would be under much less pressure."

Looking at the frenzied Seattle fans around him, Seattle SuperSonics general manager Rick Sund was genuinely envious.

"Rick, I'm the head coach. The team's business is none of my concern. You should talk to Wally about that."

Bob Wies seemed oblivious to Rick Sander's complaints, his eyes fixed on the white number nine on the court.

He is certainly aware of the team's current problems, and he is very worried about them, but he is just a coach.

He had no influence over any of the team's business decisions.

"OK, Bob, I'm just a little stressed lately. You know, Mr. Schultz doesn't want to sell the team, but he has the board of directors behind him, so he can't make all the decisions. The team has lost $50 million in four years, so he's under a lot of pressure. Wally is under a lot of pressure too, and of course, I'm under even more pressure. I'm facing the crisis of mid-life unemployment."

"Bob, let's get back to the point. Do you think Yes is suited for supersonics?"

Rick Sander's voice was full of anticipation.

The SuperSonics now have only two ways to win back the Seattle fans who are constantly leaving.

The first solution is to make the supersonics win games like they did in the late 1990s.

The second option is to find a way to get the SuperSonics to bring in a superstar or a local star who can attract Seattle fans.

The first approach is now facing enormous difficulties. The past few seasons have proven that the duo of Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis is unlikely to become a powerhouse in the current Western Conference.

The second approach also has significant problems; it's currently very difficult to bring in those popular superstars from the alliance.

Seattle has produced many NBA stars, but if these stars aren't strong enough in the NBA, it will be difficult for Seattle fans to maintain their support.

"Yes is technically well-rounded, fast, excellent on both offense and defense, and has superb shooting skills. Although he lacks physical strength and has some issues with his court habits, his playing style is suitable for any team in the league."

"Bob, you know, that's not what I meant. I meant, can he become a superstar in the NBA? If he can't become a superstar, his freshness can only save the team for one year."

"I can't answer your question. Yes, the current NBA draft benchmark is Abdul-Rauf. Do you think Rauf is a superstar?"

Rauf is a piece of shit superstar!

Rick Sander cursed under his breath.

"Is it really impossible for Yes to surpass Ray Allen?"

"Rick, I advise you not to even consider trading Ray and Rashad for a high draft pick. Yes, it's not worth risking everything!"

"Bob, I have no choice now. Even if there's only a 1% chance, I'll try. But don't worry, Bob, I won't change the team's roster this season. But in the future, you have to give me a reason not to keep Ray and Rashad. I need a reason to convince the board not to sell the team. The Western Conference Finals—that's my bare minimum!"

If the first method still can't be achieved this season, he will have no choice but to resort to the second method.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 1 ...

Time is of the essence; next July will be the final meeting for the board to decide whether to sell the team.

He needs to show the board that the team has a future, instead of losing over ten million dollars every year and ending up with nothing.

Rick Sander was very unwilling. He didn't want the team to be sold, he didn't want to lose his job, and he didn't want to look for another job.

He needs to be saved, but is Yes really the one who will save him?

In this game against Eastern Washington University and against Starkey, Yes was very aggressive!

From the very beginning of the match, Yes dominated Starki on both offense and defense!

"Yes jumped up again facing Stuckey! Is he about to take another pull-up jumper?!"

Stuckey, who still chose to defend Yes's explosive power and shooting ability, was having a very hard time!

If we defend too tightly, Yes will be able to break through directly.

With just a slight pause, Yes's shot was so decisive it was frightening!

While his defensive ability is top-notch in the NCAA, he can't yet excel in both areas.

This made Starkey very upset!

This game is too important for him. The team's win or loss may not matter, but he can't let people think that he is inferior to Yes!

So even though he knew he couldn't defend against Yes alone, he still persisted!

He knew that if he couldn't hold on, he would lose completely!

He was well aware of the consequences of losing.

One year on a terrible team like East Washington is enough; if he stays for another year, he'll go crazy!

41, 51, 55, 58...

Did you fail to achieve a score of 60 or higher this time?

"Faced with Stuckey's defense, Yes didn't shoot this time, but jumped up and passed the ball to Roy, who was already prepared!"

The NCAA has 35 seconds on offense, which is incredibly favorable for the offensive team!

Roy received Yes's jump pass, easily held off his marker, and quickly passed the ball back to Yes, who had used his speed to shake off Stuckey's defense.

"Yes jumped up again!"

53, 47, 32, 67!

67!

"This time, Yes has made his move!"

hateful!

As he watched the shot Ye Si threw fly past his fingertips, Stuckey felt a chill run down his spine.

Yes's shooting percentage in this game was too high!

"A beautiful catch-and-shoot play! This is Yes's 20th point of the first half. Facing the best defense in the NCAA, Yes has already scored 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting before the first half is even over!"

"Before this game started, absolutely no one would have predicted that it would turn out this way. No one would have imagined that the gap between Stuckey, a top-tier guard who averages 25+5+4+2.5 per game in the NCAA, and Yes would be so huge!"

"Eastern Washington University couldn't offer Stuckey any help. Their poor overall performance allowed Yes to jump and pass with impunity. He didn't need to worry about the turnovers caused by such passes; he jumped over Stuckey time and time again, throwing down those deadly shots!"

"Yes was so dominant in this game. In the entire NCAA, only Yes can score like that over Stuckey!"

Facing Stuckey's one-on-one defense, every point Yes scored felt like an incredibly difficult superstar shot.

Stuckey's defense was actually quite good in this game, effectively controlling Yes's breakthroughs.

But he really had no way to deal with such an extremely difficult shot as Yes's.

With shots like that, how could Yes still maintain such a high shooting percentage? What could be done about it?!

He's Stuckey, he's not Kobe!

"Stuckey's defense is good, but Yes is too strong!"

After halftime, looking at the statistics in their hands, every scout on the sidelines was thinking the same thing!

"Facing the strongest defender, using the most difficult offensive methods, he scored 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting in the first half!"

Is it true, as the scouts say, that Yes's future ceiling is only Rauf?

"This game proved that Yes is now undoubtedly an NCAA superstar, but can he really only be an NCAA superstar and never become an NBA superstar?"

Supersonics general manager Rick Sander's eyes were gleaming.
