Chapter 7: Seattle Glory
On January 31, 2005, early in the morning of Monday US time, Ye Si got up early and went for a long run.
For Yes, long-distance running has always been his favourite form of training.
There is no cost to long-distance running, and there is no need to consider time, weather, indoor, outdoor and other factors.
As long as he feels like running, he can run at any time.
Long-distance running is also the best way to stay in shape.
On the panel of his superstar cultivation system, there is a column of physical status.
The column of Yes's current physical state is 'weightlessness'.
Physical condition is not only the state of weight, but also the state of physical mobility.
For example, the 'burnout' that appeared yesterday.
Exhaustion is a state of physical hyperactivity.
In addition to 'exhaustion', there are two corresponding states of 'rust' and 'rusty'.
'Rusty' is a debuff that temporarily reduces all stats by 20%.
Generally speaking, as long as there is a lack of sufficient systematic training with and without the ball for a week, it will be hung with a 'rusty' effect.
As for 'Rusty', it is almost a month of unsystematic training with and without the ball, and the effect is that all attributes are temporarily reduced by 30%.
Systematic training with and without the ball comes at a cost.
Significant time and economic costs.
This is unrealistic for Yes, after all, he is not a professional or professional basketball player even now.
His training style is different from others.
Other people's methods of improving various attributes are definitely different from his.
If he uses someone else's systematic method to practice, there may be no way for his attributes to increase.
He needs plenty of time to find his way of training.
Most of these training methods are not scientific.
How can it be systematic if it is not scientific?
So, in a limited amount of time, he can only choose between improving his stats and keeping the system trained.
The answer chosen is unquestionable.
Of course, choose the promotion attribute.
Therefore, in the beginning, his physical condition was often 'rusty' and 'rusty'.
After a long period of exploration, he found that long-distance running and shooting can replace the system's training without the ball and with the ball.
This prevents his physical condition from being depressed for a long time due to 'rust' and 'rusty'.
Since then, Ye Si has insisted on long-distance running every day, regardless of whether he needs to improve his attributes, and the dormitory where he lives also has a simple basket for him to shoot.
If long-distance running can also be linked to improving attributes, it will make him even more happy.
He's talking about the speed attribute.
The speed attribute is his favorite attribute, and he doesn't even have one.
Improving other stats will always lead him to find all sorts of weird ways, but the speed stat is the least of his worries.
"Adrian, a 'stranger' and a 'Seattle Times'"
"OK, Ye, congratulations on graduating from high school, today's newspaper is counted as the one I sent you"
"Adrian is so generous today? Then I'll take it."
Today, YES officially graduated from Garfield High School.
Garfield High School is a credit system, and you can graduate as long as you take enough credits.
In fact, he had already completed enough credits and could have graduated a long time ago.
However, he has been waiting for a perfect graduation ceremony.
What makes a perfect high school graduation ceremony?
Ye Si looked at the Seattle Times in his hand.
"Rodney Starkey High School Graduation Perfectly: Thank Fate for Growing Me, National Champion, Here I Come!"
The Seattle Times, the largest newspaper in Washington state, made a front-page headline today about Starkey leading Kentwood High School to beat Fox High School to win the Washington state championship.
"When I came to Kentwood High School four years ago, I never imagined that one day I could end my high school career in such a way, thank fate and thank God for growing me from an insignificant little man to a champion in Washington State in these four years, and now, I can proudly say, NCAA, here I am! National Champion, I'm coming! ”
It's very arrogant.
Looking at Starkey's speech in the newspaper during the interview, and the photo of him holding the championship trophy aloft, Ye Si admired in his heart.
Although Starkey is his old enemy, he also has to admit that Starkey is indeed qualified to be so arrogant now.
Starkey was his biggest rival and enemy during those four years at Garfield High School.
The two are in the same position, with the same aura of genius to start their high school basketball careers.
Ye Si is a prodigy who shocked the entire state of Washington as soon as he debuted, and followed Roy to create the strongest legend of the Five Tigers in Washington State.
And Starkey is a late bloomer, from the beginning of his blood abuse, to the blood abuse of him not long ago, in the past four years, Starkey's progress is incredible.
"Thank fate? I didn't expect that I would become a fate one day."
Perhaps, in Starkey's mind, he no longer deserves to be his old enemy, and he is just a passerby in his fate.
Starkey led Kentwood High School to be crowned Washington State Champion in the biggest news of Washington State today.
But for Seattle, did Kendwood High School win the championship? It's all about their business.
Today, Seattle's largest local newspaper, The Stranger, has the most important front-page headline about Yes.
"Yes officially joins the University of Washington, the Garfield Five Tigers reunite, the unfinished dream of four years ago is about to continue, and the glory of Seattle sets sail again!"
Seattle Glory......
Looking at the photo that the stranger had almost half of the page, Ye Si shook his head with a wry smile.
Here's a picture of them sweeping through Washington State four years ago.
An old yellowed photograph.
It is also an old photo that can be seen everywhere in Seattle, whether it is a restaurant, a library, or a café.
He also has a photo of this in his dormitory, but he put it away last year.
This photo carries the expectations and dreams of too many people......
Putting the newspaper away, Ye Si took a deep breath, and some of the agitated emotions calmed down a little.
"Ye, I'll tell you a secret, today in Seattle, the Stranger Newspaper will sell more than 10 times as much as the New York Times"
The Stranger Newspaper sells more than 10 times as much as the New York Times?
This is a familiar one......
"Adrian, you said that to me four years ago"
Ye Si waved his hand and prepared to run, leaving the place that always reminded him of the past.
"Thanks, old man"
This old man is so annoying......
Ye Si found that after he made the decision to join the University of Washington, everything around him changed today.
I don't know if it's his delusion, but he always feels that when he used to run, those who greeted him have become more enthusiastic than before.
The smile on his face also increased.
Ye Si really didn't think that he would be able to have such an ability one day.
But......
Aren't you afraid of being disappointed again?
Running back to the dormitory, Ye Si was about to take a shower, and there was a knock on the door of the dormitory.
When I opened the door, four old acquaintances with smiling faces were standing at the door.
“Yes!”
“Yes?”
Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar salutation or greeting, Ye Si shook his head with a smile.
"Come in"
