I want to be a superstar.

"Wayne guessed right, Ye hasn't given up yet."

"Coach Floyd has spent the last four years with Ye, and he knows Ye better than anyone else. Ye almost joined the University of Arizona because of basketball, but fortunately, he didn't forget his promise to us and wanted to give it his all in the end. He gave up his basketball dream for our promise."

"Ye is still so naive. Looks like we've played the bad guys again."

"Isn't this good too? Ye's decision has put Mr. Floyd at ease and secured Ye's future. As for his basketball dream, it's better to give up on it sooner rather than later."

"Given Ye's personality, how could he possibly give up so quickly? Even Dean and Anthony haven't completely given up yet, have they?"

"I don't know about Anthony. I just want to maintain a proper level of exercise so I can gain weight in a healthier way. I don't know any other sports, so I can only do the simplest shooting drills. Will, you don't think I'm practicing so many shots every day because I'm planning to do something special someday, do you? Man, that's impossible. Anthony and I haven't played a game for almost two weeks!"

"Oh"

Wilconroy scoffed dismissively.

"Anthony, what's your reason?"

"I'm different from Dean. My sweethearts say I'm most charismatic when I'm shooting. They especially admire that cold-blooded killer Garfield from back in the day. I love them, and I want them to see my most standard and charismatic shooting form all the time!"

"As for basketball, it doesn't matter anymore. Besides, the University of Washington doesn't need Dean and me anymore. They don't need us this season, and they definitely won't need us next season. I heard that Mr. Romar has been making some big moves lately, and the University of Washington will only be stronger next season."

"Maybe Dean and I won't be able to be with you guys next season, we won't even have the chance to wave towels for you from the bench."

After Anthony Washington finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

"FUCK! You piece of shit, 'Stranger' newspaper, can you please stop having such high expectations of us! The era of the Garfield Five is over, damn it, it's been over for ages!"

"Dean, I told you not to buy today's Strangers' Newspaper. I don't need to guess what they'll say after Ye joins the University of Washington—those crazy bunch of nostalgic lunatics!"

"I don't buy this kind of trashy, third-rate tabloid!"

Dean Simmons wanted to throw away the stranger's newspaper that he had taken from Yes's house.

Looking at the old photo in the newspaper, the angry, short, dark, and fat man ultimately failed to throw it away.

"Sigh, if Edward and Choi were still here, would things be different now...?"

Edward and Cui?

Brandon Roy, walking down the street, frowned when he heard those two names.

Edward is his older brother, while Trevor is Dean's older brother.

"So Dean wants Ye to disappear from the Garfield Five? You hold a grudge like that?"

"Will, do you know what? I've been putting up with you for so long! If you replaced me and Anthony with Edward and Cui, Ye could have fulfilled his promise to Seattle three years ago! He wouldn't have had to bear such heavy pressure for the past three years. If that were the case, Ye would definitely be a superstar like JJ Redick! In the future, he would be the pride of all of us! It was Anthony and I who dragged Ye down, and it was Anthony and I who got utterly crushed by Carmelo, FU-CK!"

"The fact that you can still say something like that proves you're shit, Dean, you're fucking shit!"

"Hey, Dean, Will, are you guys serious this time?"

"Dean, Will, calm down. Edward and Cui can never be teammates with Ye, and Ye doesn't need such assumptions. I've never heard him complain that you guys are holding him back, and neither will Will and I. When we win, we're the Garfield Five, and when we lose, we're still the same. We're a team that trusts each other."

"snort!"

Wilconroy gave an annoyed snort and fell silent.

"Brandon, now that you've confirmed Ye hasn't given up, you'd better take good care of your knees. Don't try to play injured again this season. Even if you want to be crippled, at least play with Ye until the end of our last year. Otherwise, if you really become crippled, don't expect me to push you in a wheelchair!"

Roy paused for a moment, then finally nodded.

Dean's words were, as always, grating.

After Roy and the others left, Yes did not go to take a shower immediately as he had said before, but instead looked at his attribute panel.

Other attributes remain unchanged; the technical and defensive attributes are still rated E overall, a top-tier amateur rating.

His shooting attribute is D, which is top-tier for amateurs.

Only the physical attributes changed slightly because of the John Wall (high school) player card; the overall rating remained unchanged at D, top amateur level.

However, in terms of details, Yes's speed attribute has become 79.2/66 (80).

In other words, his base speed became 66, and his actual speed became 79.2 with the 20% bonus.

Based on the opponents he's faced in Washington state, his current speed is probably about the same as when Starkey wasn't at his peak.

But this is not enough.

His future rival at the University of Washington was Nate Robinson, one of the fastest players in the NCAA.

At the University of Washington, Conroy played point guard, Roy played small forward, and Nate Robinson played shooting guard.

Nate Robinson is not only one of the fastest players in the NCAA right now, but also one of the best jumpers and shooters in the NCAA.

Even on defense, Nate Robinson, as a short guard, is quite excellent at stealing.

Perhaps his only two weaknesses are his height of 1.75 meters and his less-than-stellar basketball skills.

Nate Robinson was an all-around athlete who entered the University of Washington on a football scholarship.

It's difficult for such an all-around player to master the skills of any one sport.

Putting aside ball handling and passing, Nate Robinson's shooting was all honed this season.

This demonstrates just how talented Nate Robinson was.

Maybe next year he'll have mastered ball control and passing.

He's quite a distance from Nate Robinson right now, and maybe even further next year!

This is the strongest competitor he has ever faced in the guard position!

But next year will be their last year...

This is truly the last year...

Having chosen to fight those four guys for one last year, he couldn't possibly be afraid of competing with Nate Robinson!

Now that he's already enrolled at the University of Washington, there's no way out for him!

"Raise your base speed to 80 first, then think about anything else!"

Yes made up his mind.

If he didn't directly compete with Nate Robinson, he and those guys would only be supporting actors for Nate Robinson and Martel Webster.

He didn't know what the other four were thinking, but he was definitely not going to be content to be a supporting character in the last year of next year!

Are the Garfield Five playing supporting roles to others in Seattle?

joke!

They are the pride of Seattle!

Although he didn't really care about Seattle's glory, since he wasn't from Seattle, he wouldn't have such a strong sense of mission!

But now that it has such a title, how could it be taken away by someone else?

"Where's my newspaper? Where's my Stranger's Daily?!"

"Those two bastards!"
