On the evening of January 29, 2005, the Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle was packed to capacity of 10,000 people.

The tournament now in progress is a highlight of the NCAA Pacific Ten Conference, with the University of Washington hosting the University of Arizona.

The University of Arizona has always been a powerhouse in the Pacific Ten Conference.

And the University of Washington, led by Nate Robinson and Brandon Roy, has risen at an astonishing pace in the last two years.

Last year, the two led the team to the finals of the divisional tournament of the Big Ten League.

It was only in the end that he lost to Stanford University led by Josh Childes, the No. 6 pick in the first round in 2004.

However, with the entry of Josh Childes into the NBA, and the growth of Nate Robinson and Brandon Roy.

University of Washington fans can expect more from this team, with greater enthusiasm.

Compared with the excited fans of the University of Washington, the two teenagers with black and Asian faces in the front row stand are particularly conspicuous.

Most of the fans at the University of Washington are local Seattle fans, and these two teenagers are naturally no strangers to them.

Black teenager, Martel Webster, a senior high school senior at Seattle Prep School, is a first-team player on high schools in the United States.

He was also a representative of Team USA at the Nike Basketball Summit.

He is also one of the top 10 high school players in the United States today.

Asian Face Junior, Yas, a senior at James A. Garfield High School in Seattle, is a star player on the Washington State High School League championship team.

Although Yes is not a well-known genius in the United States like Webster, his popularity in Seattle is not inferior to Webster's.

As two of Washington state's most recognizable high school students, Webster and Yes are easy to imagine when they come to the University of Washington's home stadium to watch the game.

I'm afraid that the next day there will be a news report in the national basketball media: popular high school student Martel Webster watched the University of Washington game live, accompanied by Yes of Garfield High School, according to previous media reports, the two have committed to join the University of Washington next season.

"Fantastic, this year's University of Washington is really fantastic! Ye, I swear that as long as we join, the University of Washington will definitely be able to dominate the NCAA next year! ”

The black teenager was excited, while the Asian teenager's eyes kept twinkling at the University of Washington's No. 2 and No. 3 players, Nate Robinson and Brandon Roy.

After studying in Seattle for four years, it was naturally the best choice to join the University of Washington.

However, he is not the same as Webster.

Webster is a swingman at the front, and he's a defender!

Robinson and Roy are also guards, and they're both juniors this year, so he'll need to play them off the bench for a year if he joins.

Although Roy is his senior, a freshman in high school, he also played a year as a substitute for Roy, the team's leading player at the time, but it was an inconsequential freshman in high school!

And now, if he wants to get into the NBA, he has to show himself all the time.

Webster's talent has been recognized.

And what about him?

His scouting report reads: A speed player with all-round skills and ordinary talent can become a substitute knife for the NCAA giants, and the possibility of entering the NBA is extremely low!

Nate Robinson and Roy are strong, the University of Washington's other role players are also quite good, and the University of Arizona has resisted stubbornly, but it is still inferior to the University of Washington playing at home.

"Ye, Seattle's first NCAA championship trophy will be born in our hands!"

"Well, Martel, I'm not from Seattle, I don't have a historical mission like yours, okay, the game is over, I'm going home"

"Home? Ye, don't you say hello to Brandon? Here are four of your high school seniors! ”

Ye's mood has been very abnormal recently, are you reluctant to graduate from high school?

Although the black boy was puzzled, he chased him out.

"Brandon, Martel, what about them?"

"Let's go"

"Gone? Right now? ”

"Hmm"

"These two boys, they said they would celebrate together!"

Seattle is a big city, a big city with a lot of lights, and after leaving the arena with Webster, Ye Si has no attachment to the glitz and light of Seattle.

As a small celebrity in Seattle, he can sleep with a different 'easy-girl' every night as long as he wants, like Webster.

However, this kind of life is not something he can enjoy now.

He didn't have the talent of Webster to splurge.

He didn't come to the U.S. to study for these things.

Garfield High School, one of the four prestigious private boarding schools in Seattle, has been a recipient of a full scholarship for four consecutive years, and his dormitory has always been very good.

And it's a private room!

Open the door to the dormitory, turn on the lights, close the door, pick up the basketball on the table, and throw it to the basket behind the door, hollow, all in one go!

"In 2005, I came here for four years."

Lying on the bed, looking at the incandescent light on the ceiling, Ye Si closed his eyes slightly.

The four-year high school career in the United States is coming to an end.

In the past four years, it has been an expectation and a torment for him.

From the initial confidence to the current anxiety, it has only been four years.

As an ordinary Chinese high school student, he should now be like many Chinese high school students of the same age, working hard for the college entrance examination in half a year.

But now, he is in the United States.

All of this is because of this inexplicable 'basketball superstar training system'.

Main Quest: The first step of a superstar

Requirements: Become a member of a sports school basketball team or a member of an American high school basketball team

Reward: One card draw

Task Status: Completed

In order to complete the so-called main mission of this system, he has been preparing to study in the United States since the fourth grade of elementary school.

Why don't you go to a sports school in China?

He also consulted that his height was too short, even if his basketball skills were already very outstanding among his peers in China, it would be useless.

He was already in his third year of junior high school, and he had already successfully applied to study in the United States at that time.

In order to complete the main quest of the first step of this superstar.

He is a basketball teenager who has practiced basketball since he was a child, and he scored 106 points on the TOEFL IBT test and 2250 points on the SSAT.

Coupled with his basketball skills, he finally got a full scholarship to James A. Garfield High School in Seattle.

I came to this school because the reputation of this school is the best, the least racial-discriminatory, the basketball tradition, and the scholarship is high.

"How long have you been getting this system?"

Seriously, he doesn't know either.

In short, the system has been with him for as long as he can remember.

He once asked his family when he was still a toddler, and after that, he knew that no one but him could see this inexplicable system.

As a child, I want to find out what this interesting thing is.

When other children were only interested in the young lady's Nako, he began the arduous journey of learning to read and write.

Finally, when he was three years old, he learned that this interesting thing was a system called the 'Basketball Superstar Development System'.

It was also at this time that he learned that there was a game of same-sex hand-to-hand combat, called basketball......

Since then, other children have been playing games that belong to their age group, but his only game is basketball.

In addition to this quest template for the main quest, this system has its own properties panel.

As a teenager with obsessive-compulsive disorder since he was a child, he thinks about how to improve the numbers on the panel every day.

In order to improve his ball control, the three-year-old shot the basketball that was not much shorter than him for a year.

In order to improve the passing, the four-year-old used a basketball to sneak attack his father for half a year, fortunately he has little strength, otherwise he would not have a mother.

In order to improve his balance, the seven-year-old would lie on the floor and roll on the floor for half an hour, regardless of the strange stares of his family and other people.

After knowing that peeing against the wind can increase strength, well, let's not talk about it......

In short, because of this inexplicable system, his life trajectory has become completely different from that of other peers.

However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Whether it's to complete the main task of this system, study hard and study in the United States.

Or to make the system's properties panel move and do those exercises that look very silly, he did it all of his own volition.

At the end of the day, this system is a basketball superstar development game that belongs to him!

And he always wanted to be a real basketball superstar like the name of the system!

"Now that I think about it, it's just a dream, a dream that has been sleeping for 18 years."

At first, he always thought that the system's property panel could be improved indefinitely.

So, he is full of confidence in his future.

No matter how fortunate and strange the practice method of improving attributes is, he is willing.

Because hard work is fruitful!

Until one day, no matter how much he trained, a certain attribute had no effect, and he began to worry.

It wasn't until there were more and more attributes at the top like this, and finally when all the attributes reached the top, he was finally scared.

In his third year in the United States, all of his attributes were no longer able to improve.

He knew that his potential was exhausted, and his fear had turned into confusion.

Player evaluation: D, a top amateur player with a full range of skills

Becoming a basketball superstar, that's his dream.

The reality is that his potential can only sustain him to become a 'top amateur player with full skills'.

A top amateur player, he is very strong in the high school league, even in the NCAA can do well.

However, this is too far away from the basketball superstar of his dreams, so far away that there is no edge in sight.

His potential has come to an end, and hard work can no longer support him to pursue his dreams.

Now the only thing that can give him hope is the star card that he got by completing the main quest.

and the rewards you get after completing the second main quest.

Main Quest: The second step of Superstar

Requirements: Become an NCAA player

Reward: One card draw

Task Status: Incomplete

According to the speculation of the first two main quests, the third main quest is probably to make him an NBA player.

If this star card can't change his fate now, he has reached the end of his potential.

I'm afraid that he will say goodbye to the NBA, and naturally he will never be able to complete the third main mission.

"After so many years of hard work, will it be a waste in the end?"

I've thought about this question countless times, and every time I think about it, it's still bitter.

Webster is a girl every day, not only can he not catch up, but the gap between him is getting farther and farther away.

"Huh? The card pool of star cards has been updated?! ”

Just when Ye Si was thinking about what to do in the future, the star card pool, which had not been updated for almost two years, was actually updated!

"It's finally not Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry's double UP this time?"

"The strongest player on the ground, North Carolina Flyers, five-star card, high school Jordan is absolutely UP!"

Uh, Jordan? High school?

Ye Si suddenly felt a little kidney pain.
