Chapter 5 Choice of University
Since Garfield High School was eliminated from the Washington State Championship, Coach Floyd has rarely spoken to him so formally.
After all, he is about to graduate, and the future and development of the team has nothing to do with him as a boss.
Therefore, every time Coach Floyd came to him, it was also about his college choice.
He didn't spend a penny on his family to study in the United States.
Not in the past, not now, and not in the future.
Although he is a Modu person, he is just an ordinary Modu person.
The family can't afford the high annual consumption of hundreds of thousands of dollars for him to study in a private school in the United States.
When he came to study abroad in high school, he chose Garfield, and the full scholarship from Garfield High School was the highest reason why he could choose the school.
Plus his various grants and bonuses for the basketball team.
He attended Garfield High School, which not only did not require him to spend money, but also saved him tens of thousands of dollars a year.
Over the past four years, he has saved more than $50,000.
$50,000 seems like a good idea, but it's still not much compared to the tens of thousands of dollars a year in tuition at American universities.
Therefore, he still needs a scholarship to go to college and enter the NCAA, preferably a full scholarship for sports.
However, in American universities, especially good universities, full scholarships are not easy to get.
At present, the only prestigious universities willing to give him a full scholarship are the University of Arizona and the University of Washington.
And Coach Floyd was worried about his choice between the two schools.
Floyd is his high school coach, and according to the habits of life in the United States, let alone a high school coach, even if it is a parent, he cannot interfere in his child's choice.
What's more, Coach Floyd's constant telling him about the benefits of the University of Washington will definitely give people a suspicion that he is not receiving the benefits of the University of Washington.
However, Ye Si knew that Coach Floyd was for his good.
In Coach Floyd's mind, his basketball career was over.
His future needs to be thought about for the rest of his life.
Compared with the University of Arizona, which is ranked around 100 in the United States, the University of Washington, which has always been ranked in the top 20 in the United States and can even enter the top 10 at every turn, is naturally a better choice.
Not to mention that Seattle is a big city, and there are many headquarters of large enterprises here.
With his reputation and connections in Seattle, he had no problem getting into Seattle's big business after graduating from the University of Washington.
At that time, American nationality, mansions and beautiful relatives can be said to have everything, and his life can be regarded as complete.
Originally, according to the choice of normal people, the University of Washington must be better than the University of Arizona.
But Freud was always worried that Yes would make an abnormal choice.
Because after Garfield High School was eliminated from the Washington State Championship, Yes still worked hard.
Yes doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up on basketball.
Plus he went to watch the University of Washington game with Martel Webster yesterday and ended up going straight away without saying hello to Roy.
In Freud's view, yes was ready to accept an offer from the University of Arizona.
Both the University of Arizona and the University of Washington are willing to give him a full scholarship.
But the University of Arizona promised that as long as he joined the team, he would be the team's starting guard and focus on developing the outside core.
The University of Washington, on the other hand, has no such promise.
The University of Washington has been full of talent in recent years, with Nate Robinson, Blanton Roy and Wilcon Roy on the back line.
All three are now juniors and will be seniors next year, and they are the key to realizing the University of Washington's ambitions.
Not to mention Yes, even the current Washington state No. 1 guard Rodney Starkey can't compete with them.
You know, Starkey directly defeated and eliminated him in this year's state competition.
No one of Starkey's strength dared to come to the University of Washington to compete with them.
Not long ago, Starkey announced that he would join another university in Washington state, Eastern Washington University.
Starkey's strength is still very clear to him.
Except that in his freshman year of high school, he tortured and killed the young Starkey.
Sophomore, junior in high school, and even in the recent senior year of high school, Starkey was an insurmountable mountain in front of him.
The technique is better than him, the height is higher than him, the strength is stronger than him, and even the speed that he is most proud of, Starkey can now beat him.
If Martel Webster, a good friend who looked up to him at the beginning, is now selected for the first team of American high schools, it is on the side, and he feels the gap in talent.
Then Starkey told him in the most direct and cruel way that in the world of basketball, talent can really do whatever he wants.
Even the mighty and incredible Starkey did not dare to go to the University of Washington to compete with Nate Robinson, Roy, Conroy for the starter.
How could he possibly compete with these three people?
If he wants to play well in college, brush up on good statistics, and continue to move forward on the road of basketball, the University of Arizona is indeed a better choice.
Of course, that was his best bet before today, when his potential had been exhausted.
As for now.
Under the persuasion of Coach Floyd, Yes 'changed' his mind.
Under the supervision of Coach Floyd, Yes took out his cell phone and called Lorenzo Romar, the head coach of the University of Washington.
He has confirmed that he will join the University of Washington.
Lorenzo Romar was delighted to receive the promise of Yes.
And Freud was pleased.
This is the best news he has received as a coach of the team in recent times after the team is out of the competition.
So after Yes decided to join the University of Washington, the happy Floyd directly and happily invited Yes to his home.
Not long after YES and Floyd arrived at his home, TJ Ozerberg, an assistant coach at the University of Washington, sent him a letter of intent from the University of Washington.
"Ye, congratulations on joining the University of Washington, this letter of intent, we prepared it four years ago, originally Lorenzo wanted to come in person, but he is now preparing for the next crucial game against UCLA, and is now in Los Angeles"
Olzerberg was excited, and he did have a reason to be excited.
Because of the existence of the guard trident at the University of Washington, a strong high school guard like Yes is reluctant to come to the University of Washington.
If Roy is fully healthy, a back three would be enough in the NCAA, but Roy has torn meniscus in both legs, allowing him to play only 25 minutes per game now.
With Roy and the three of them, other powerful defenders are reluctant to come, and because of Roy's injury problems, the team's back line is not completely reassuring.
The embarrassment and helplessness of not being able to find anyone at the University of Washington was perfectly resolved by Yes's decision.
Because of the arrival of Yes and Ozerberg, Freud and his wife prepared the most sumptuous celebratory dinner for the two.
During this time, Yes also received congratulations from Roy, Conroy, Washington, and Simmons, four former Garfield High School seniors who are now at the University of Washington.
And, of course, the complaints of his good friend Martel Webster.
complained that he didn't even tell him about such an important decision.
Joining the University of Washington was sudden.
Ye Si didn't expect that his farewell to watching the University of Washington game yesterday would have such a big impact.
Let Coach Floyd, who has always cared about him, do this kind of thing.
The United States is not domestic, and the elders cannot use this way to make the younger generations make choices.
However, Ye Si did not hate Coach Floyd's behavior.
Because in these four years in the United States, he really regarded Coach Floyd as his elder.
After leaving for a celebratory dinner at Coach Floyd's house, Yees called home and told them about his upcoming enrollment at the University of Washington.
He could hear that the parents on the phone were happy.
The University of Washington is one of the top universities in the world, and in the ranking of world universities, it is ranked with Fudan University, the best university in the magic capital.
And that's just the academic rankings, and if you rank them in terms of worldwide visibility and recognition, the University of Washington can be several levels higher than Fudan University.
Yes's training plan for today was interrupted because of the school choice.
This is an unexpected event, and there is no way to predict it.
After dealing with the aftermath of the school choice incident, Ye Si went back to the dormitory without further training.
Today is January 30th, and there will be an NBA game in the evening that he is very concerned about.
The Miami Heat host the Houston Rockets.
Big Shark O'Neill VS Yao Ming.
Yao Shark War!
In the past two years, the Yao shark war has been the focus of attention even in the United States.
Last season's Yao Shark battle was between the Lakers and the Rockets, and this season, O'Neal was traded to the Heat by the Lakers.
The Heat, with O'Neal and Wade, are now the No. 1 team in the East.
And the Rockets, under the leadership of Maddie and Yao Ming, are also a strong team at the Western Conference playoff level.
Take out the snacks in the fridge that you had prepared a few days ago, turn on the TV, and the game just starts.
And with the opening of the game, the QQ prompt on his mobile phone began to flash constantly.
"Yao Ming and O'Neill played inextricably last season, and Yao Ming can beat O'Neill this season!"
"Hahahaha, I think so too, Da Yao is invincible, the first center in the league!"
"@εΆζ―, professional, come out and say a few words"
Ye Si, who originally wanted to dive, saw Tang Xiaoyao's @ have a headache.
