“... Because in a few years you will see me on TV, and then you will remember how I sent you home today! ”

Jeffrey Day said it domineeringly, which made Yu Fei wonder if there was a critic in the NBA who called this name.

He thought about it seriously.

To be sure, there is no such person in the NBA after 2016.

And what about the previous ones?

He was not familiar with the pre-2016 NBA, so it could be said that it was his knowledge blind spot.

However, he had never heard of a star named Jeffrey Day in the NBA.

So what is certain is that this person has not made a name for himself even if he enters the NBA.

What's more, both insiders, Jeffrey Dai's registered height is the same as Yu Fei's, both 6 feet 9 inches, but a close comparison can be seen that the other party's height is significantly shorter.

Therefore, the high probability of the other party reporting is the height of wearing shoes.

Yu Fei reported his bare foot height, and according to the American basketball player's report, even if he reported 6 feet 10 inches, it would be no problem.

Yu Fei didn't say anything to Dai Duo, and went back to warm up after listening to the other party's trash talk.

It was Hank Selwan who told Yu Fei to keep an eye on Jeffrey Day.

"Fulai, the composition of the Starfish team is similar to ours." "The only one to pay attention to is Jeffrey Day. ”

Often, the hopefuls who choose to join a mediocre team are those who want to make a name for themselves by playing flashy stats by dominating a lot of possession.

"Is that guy amazing?" Yu Fei asked.

"Seattle Prep High School was the state champion of this year's Washington State Triple A Championship, and Jeffrey Day was the inner core of that team," Selwan laughed. ”

Hearing this, Yu Fei smiled.

He's from Kent Meridian High School, which can't even make it to the preliminaries in the Kent School District, and he's the inner core of Washington State's championship team, so it's normal not to take himself seriously.

Yu Fei looked at Dai's pre-game warm-up.

He found that Dai was a very traditional interior lineman, who basically did not have the ability to hold the ball in the high post, that is, he received the ball in the low post and played it back, and then used the good physical fitness in the high school level to wreak havoc in the penalty area.

"I think I can handle him." Yu Fei said.

"You've got to get him." Serwan pointed to the sidelines, "Do you see those people?" ”

Yu Fei saw a group of professionals coming for the new star in the direction that Selwan had guided.

"Among those guys were college scouts and coaches, scouts from all major sports commodities, and sports writers in the Washington area, and the only reason they were following the game was because they wanted to see if Jeffrey Day had grown from the state championship game two months ago, because this is a talent who could play in the NBA in the future." Speaking of this, Selwan smiled, "If you beat him, no one will pay attention to Dai anymore, and you will replace him as the star of hope in Washington State!" ”

Yu Fei was excited when he heard it.

"Is Jeffrey Day the number one high school student in Washington state?"

"Not really, there aren't any real number one high school students in Washington State, like Jeffrey Day, Aaron Fitzgerald SF of Kennedy High School, Erroll Knight SF of Chief Poster High School, Mike Bethea C of Rainier Beach High School and Brandon Roy PG/SG/SF of Garfield High School. If I had to pick one of Washington State's top high school students, I think I'd go with Brandon Roy. "He's the only one of those players who was unanimously named to the first team in Washington State." ”

The first few names sounded like mantras.

Neither their name nor the school have a memory point.

But when the name Brandon Roy came out, Yu Fei couldn't help but open his mouth to say something.

Brandon Roy, a famous meteor player in the new century, rises as fast as he falls, and judging from his active years, it would be difficult for Yu Fei to know him if it weren't for the chance.

Roy's Trail Blazers juniors have a player named Damian Lillard, who is a one-man-one-city championship as of the summer of 2023.

In Game 5 of the first round in 2019, Lillard beat the Thunder with an incredible three-pointer from beyond the arc, while also killing Paul George and Russell Westbrook's brother basketball. George, who spent a month playing with the Lakers, and even wanted to make a documentary to walk the Lakers and explain why he wanted to stay in Russia, finally understood what Tong Dawei told us in "Chinese Partner": Don't partner with good brothers to start a business.

But Lillard is not Curry, he is also such a three-pointer, he is more difficult than Curry, and it also happened in the life-and-death battle of the playoffs, but he can't capture the opposing big man like Curry.

This is a potential case of an underrated "I'm not him" in the NBA in the 10s.

Yu Fei also met Roy from Lillard's goal of ending the Westbrook era of the Thunder.

It's passive.

Like Lillard's bloody three-point shot against the Rockets in the first round in 2014, every time he does something like this, others think of Roy, who beat the Rockets in 0.8 seconds.

Yu Fei had seen Roy's three-point highlights, but he felt that the three-pointer should have run out of time.

But the NBA is a league of stars, and stars have privileges, and you can't go back in time when a star creates a great moment and set it right.

Now, hearing the name Roy again, Yu Fei couldn't help but ask, "Is Brandon Roy also here?" ”

"The Nike Regional Invitational is one of the most influential AAU events in Washington State, and I think he's coming, but if you can't get past Jeffrey Day, what's the use of him even if he's here?"

Therefore, if you say a thousand things and ten thousand, you must win first.

Yu Fei was scrappy, dribbled first, tried a few ridiculously crooked shots, and then ended the warm-up with a dunk.

The Royals started Bobby Jonas, Quinn Thomas, Andre Moore, Anthony Lawson and Yu Fei.

When Jeffrey Day saw that there was a female player on the Royals, he laughed and asked, "Do you think it's an exhibition game?" ”

"If you're not as strong as half as confident as you, there's a real chance that it will end up in an exhibition match." Yu Fei responded lightly.

"Then let's try it!"

Day is determined to prove himself.

In the jump ball stage, Yu Fei, who lacked actual combat experience as an inside lineman, did not capture the correct timing of the jump, and Dai won the ball for the Starfish team.

"Give me the ball!" Dai sticks to Yu Fei and yells, "I'm going to knock over this chopsticks man!" ”

Obviously, no one on the Starfish team is going to disobey Day's will.

Even though Dai didn't quite want to be in position, they still passed the ball.

This is a big taboo for the inside line.

Yu Fei, who seemed to be forced to resist Dai, suddenly exerted force and slapped the ball away with his arm span from behind.

Jonas picked up the ball, the Royals launched a three-line fast break, and then Yu Fei knew why Jonas was so good at scoring but couldn't lead K-M out of the preliminaries of the Kent School District.

He's the kind of player who gets the ball and only has the basket in his eyes.

In the fast attack of three against two, he insisted on fighting two with one, and the result was covered.

"It was your luck just now!" Dai shouted arrogantly, "I'm the protagonist of the game, you're just a poor supporting character, be ready to learn my strength!" ”

Day finally learned his lesson, using his strong body with a confrontational advantage to hold position, catch a teammate's pass, push inside, and then turn with the ball.

In Seattle, there aren't many insiders who can afford his move.

Just when he swore that Yu Fei was the same as those who were easily crushed by him, the ball that was held up upwards was fiercely covered by a broad palm.

？？？

Dai's mind went blank, and Yu Fei ran forward at full speed the moment he covered Dai.

The only female player on the field, Quinn Thomas, sent a beautiful pass for Yu Fei.

Yu Fei dribbled the ball and was intercepted by the opposing defender, and in less than half a second, he stopped sharply, turned around, and threw the opponent behind him like a defender.

The scouts who had come for Jeffrey Day turned their attention to him.

Yu Fei rushed into the empty frontcourt paint area, jumped up after receiving the ball, and immediately received a windmill slam dunk that ignited the whole court.

"Great defensive habits, excellent athletic nerves, height and guard-like dribbles, extremely good bounce speed and jumping," a college scout from Southern California wrote in his notebook. ”

"What's his name?"

"Who is he?"

"Royals? From Kent Merridian High School? ”

"Who has heard of this school?"

Jeffrey Day went from being a protagonist to a supporting role, and it only took one turn.

Talent can't be hidden.

Especially on the basketball court, the upper limit can be seen at a glance by mediocre people, and the seeds of greatness, even if they have not yet germinated, are shining and immeasurable.

Yu Fei returned to the backcourt and said to Dai, who had not yet come to his senses: "Hey, your protagonist's aura is really dazzling, let me take a few more looks." ”

For Jeffrey Day, it will be the longest day of his life.
