Chapter 5 Choosing a University
Coach Floyd had rarely spoken to Garfield in such a formal manner since Garfield was out of the big game at Washington State.
After all, he is about to graduate, and the future and development of the team has nothing to do with him as the boss.
Therefore, every time Coach Floyd approached him, it was also about his college choice.
It didn't cost his family a penny to study in the United States.
Not in the past, not now, and not in the future.
Although he is from Modu, he is just an ordinary Modu.
The family cannot afford the high spending of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for him to study in a private school in the United States.
When he chose Garfield to study abroad in high school, the full scholarship of Garfield High School was the highest reason among the schools he could choose.
Plus his various subsidies and bonuses on the basketball team.
He studied at Garfield High School, not only did he not need to spend money, but he could also save tens of thousands of dollars a year for him.
Over the past four years, he has saved almost $50,000.
Fifty thousand dollars seems not bad, but compared to the tens of thousands of dollars in annual tuition fees in American universities, it is still not much.
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.
Currently, only the University of Arizona and the University of Washington are willing to give him a full scholarship.
And what Coach Floyd is worried about is his choice between these two schools.
Floyd is his high school coach. According to the living habits of the United States, let alone a high school coach, even parents cannot interfere with their children's choices.
What's more, Coach Floyd keeps telling him about the benefits of the University of Washington, which will definitely make people suspect that he has received benefits from the University of Washington.
Still, Yeth knew Coach Floyd was doing it for his own good.
In Coach Floyd's mind, his basketball life is over.
His future needs to be considered for his later life.
Compared with the University of Arizona, which ranks around 100 in the United States, the University of Washington, which has been ranked in the top 20 in the United States and can even enter the top 10, is naturally a better choice.
What's more, Seattle is a big city, and there are many headquarters of big companies here.
With his reputation and contacts in Seattle, he has no problem entering a large local company in Seattle after graduating from the University of Washington.
When the time comes, he will have American citizenship, luxury houses and beautiful family members, and his life will be considered 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 Yeth would make abnormal choices.
Because Garfield High was out of the big game in Washington State, Yeth was still working hard.
Yees doesn't look like he's going to give up basketball at all.
In addition, he went to watch the University of Washington game with Martel Webster yesterday, and finally left without saying hello to Roy and the others.
In Floyd's view, from all these signs, Yeth is ready to accept the invitation from the University of Arizona.
Both the University of Arizona and the University of Washington are willing to give him full scholarships.
But the University of Arizona promised that as long as he joins the team, he will be the team's starting guard and focus on training the outside core.
Washington University, on the other hand, makes no such promises.
In recent years, the University of Washington has been full of talents, with Nate Robinson, Brandon Roy and Will Conroy on the back line.
The three are now juniors, and they will be seniors next year, which is the key to the University of Washington's ambitions.
Not to mention Yeth, even Washington State's No. 1 guard Rodney Stuckey can't compete with them.
To know,
Stuckey beat and eliminated him directly in this year's state competition.
People with Stuckey's strength dare not come to Washington University to compete with them.
Not long ago, Starkey announced that he would join another university in Washington State, Eastern Washington University.
He is still very clear about Stucky's strength.
Except that in the freshman year of high school, he tortured and killed Stucky, who was still young.
In his sophomore year, third year, and even his senior year not long ago, Stucky was an insurmountable mountain in front of him.
His skills are better than him, he is taller than him, and his strength is stronger than him. Even the speed he is most proud of, Stuckey can now completely beat him.
If it is said that his good friend Mattel Webster, who looked up to him at the beginning, is now selected to the first team of the American high school, it is from the side that he feels the gap in talent.
Then Stuckey told him in the most direct and cruel way that in the basketball world, talent can really do whatever they want.
Even the powerful and incredible Stuckey dare not go to the University of Washington to compete with Nate Robinson, Roy and Conroy for the starting lineup.
How could he compete with these three?
He wants to perform well in college, produce good statistics, and continue to advance on the road of basketball. The University of Arizona is indeed a better choice.
Of course, that was his best choice before today, when his potential had been exhausted.
As for now.
Under coach Floyd's earnest persuasion, Ye Si'changed' his mind.
Under Floyd's watchful eye, Yees pulled out his phone and called UW head coach Lorenzo Romar.
Confirmed that he will join the University of Washington.
Lorenzo Romar was delighted to get Yes's promise.
And Floyd is also very relieved. .
This is the best news he has received as a team coach in recent times after the team was out.
So after Ye Si decided to join the University of Washington, the happy Freud directly invited Ye Si to his home as a guest.
Not long after Jess and Floyd came to his house, the assistant coach of the University of Washington, TJ Ozberg sent him a letter of intent from the University of Washington.
"Ye, congratulations on joining the University of Washington. We prepared this letter of intent four years ago. Originally, Lorenzo wanted to come in person, but he is now preparing for the next crucial game against China and is currently in Los Angeles."
Oseberg was very excited, and he did have reasons for being excited.
Because the University of Washington has a guard trident, a strong high school guard like Yeth is unwilling to come to the University of Washington.
If Roy is fully healthy, three guards are enough in the NCAA, but Roy has torn menisci in both legs and knees, so he can only play 25 minutes per game now.
With the three of Roy and the others, other capable guards are unwilling to come, and because of Roy's potential injury, the team's guard line cannot be completely reassuring.
The embarrassment and helplessness of not being able to find anyone at the University of Washington was perfectly resolved by Ye Si's decision.
Because of the arrival of Yess and Ozerberg, Freud and his wife prepared the most sumptuous celebratory dinner for them.
During this period, Yeth also received congratulations from Roy, Conroy, Washington, and Simmons, the four former Garfield seniors who are now at the University of Washington.
And of course the complaints of his good friend Mattel Webster.
Blame him for not even telling him such an important decision.
Joining the University of Washington was a sudden event.
Yeth didn't expect that his leaving without saying goodbye after watching the University of Washington game yesterday would have such a big impact.
Coach Floyd, who has always cared about him, did this kind of thing.
The United States is not a country, and the elders cannot use this method to let the younger generation make choices.
But Jess doesn't dislike coach Floyd's behavior.
Because during the four years in the United States, he really regarded Coach Floyd as his elder.
After leaving after having a celebratory dinner at Floyd's coach's house, Yeth connected the phone at home in China and told them that he was about to join the University of Washington.
He could tell that the parents on the phone were happy.
The University of Washington is one of the top universities in the world. In the ranking of world universities, it is ranked together with Fudan University, the best university in Shanghai.
This is just an academic ranking. If you rank it in terms of worldwide popularity and recognition, the University of Washington can be several levels higher than Fudan University.
Ye Si's training plan for today was interrupted because of school selection.
This is an unexpected event that cannot be predicted.
After dealing with the aftermath of the school-choice incident, Ye Si went back to the dormitory without any extra practice.
Today is January 30th, and there will be an NBA game that he is very concerned about to play in the evening.
The Miami Heat host the Houston Rockets.
Shaquille O'Neal VS Yao Ming.
Yao shark battle!
In the past two years, the Yaosha battle has been the focus of attention even in the United States.
The Yao Shark battle last season was between the Lakers and the Rockets. This season, O'Neal was traded to the Heat by the Lakers.
With O'Neal and Wade, the Heat are now the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference.
And the Rockets, under the leadership of Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, are also a strong team in the Western Conference playoffs.
Take out the snacks that have been prepared several days ago in the refrigerator, turn on the TV, and the game has just started.
And as the game started, the QQ reminder on his phone also began to flicker continuously.
"Yao Ming had an inextricable fight with O'Neal last season, and this season Yao Ming can beat O'Neal!"
"Hahahaha, I think so too, Dayao is invincible, the number one center in the league!"
"x-on:Yes, professional, come out and say a few words"
Ye Si, who originally wanted to dive, had a headache when he saw Tang Xiaoyao's x-on:.
