Chapter 7 Seattle Glory
On January 31, 2005, early in the morning of Monday, US time, Ye Si got up early as usual and went for a long-distance run.
For Yeth, long-distance running has always been his favorite form of training.
Long-distance running does not require cost, nor does it 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 training method to maintain physical condition.
On the panel of his superstar training system, there is a column of physical condition.
The column of Ye Si's current physical condition is 'weightlessness'.
The physical state is not only the state of weight, but also the state of physical activity and other aspects.
For example, the 'exhausted' that appeared yesterday.
Burnout is the state of being physically overactive.
In addition to 'exhausted', the state of physical activity also has two corresponding states of 'rusty' and 'stained with rust'.
The 'rusty' physical state is a debuff, the effect is to temporarily reduce all attributes by 20%.
Generally speaking, as long as there is a lack of sufficient and systematic training with and without the ball for a week, it will be labeled as "rusty".
As for the 'rusty spots', it was almost a month of unsystematic training with and without the ball, and the effect was to temporarily reduce all attributes by 30%.
Systematic training with and without the ball requires cost.
A lot of time cost and economic cost.
This is unrealistic for Ye Si. After all, he is not a systematic professional or professional basketball player even now.
His training method is different from others.
Other people's methods of improving various attributes are absolutely different from his method.
If he uses other people's systematic methods to practice, his attributes may not be able to grow in any way.
He needs to have enough time to find his training method.
Most of these training methods are unscientific.
How can it be systematic if it is not scientific?
Therefore, in a limited time, he can only choose between improving attributes and maintaining system training.
The chosen answer is beyond doubt.
Of course, choose to upgrade attributes.
Therefore, at the very beginning, his physical condition often appeared in the state of 'rusty' and 'stained with rust'.
After a long period of exploration, he discovered that long-distance running and shooting can replace the systematic training without the ball and with the ball.
This prevents his physical condition from being depressed for a long time due to 'rust' and 'stained with rust'.
From then on, Ye Si insisted on long-distance running every day, no matter whether he needed to improve his attributes or not. The dormitory he lived in also had a simple basket for him to shoot.
If long-distance running can also be linked to improving attributes, it will make him feel even more happy.
He was talking about the speed attribute.
The speed attribute is his favorite attribute, not even one of them.
Improving other attributes will always make him find all kinds of weird methods, only the speed attribute is the attribute that he least worries about.
"Adrian, get a copy of 'Stranger Things' and a copy of The Seattle Times"
"OK, Ye, congratulations on graduating from high school, today's newspaper is my gift to you"
"Adrian is so generous today? Then I will accept it"
Today, Jess officially graduated from Garfield High School.
Garfield High School is a credit system, as long as you earn enough credits, you can graduate.
In fact, he had earned enough credits long ago, and could have graduated long ago.
Still, he's been waiting for a perfect graduation ceremony.
What's the perfect high school graduation ceremony?
Ye Si looked at the 'Seattle Times' in his hand.
"Rodney Stuckey graduated from high school with perfection: Thank fate for making me grow,
National champion, here I come! "
The Seattle Times is the largest newspaper in Washington State, and today's front page headline is the news that Starkey led Kentwood High School to beat Fosse High School to win the Washington State Championship.
"When I came to Kentwood High School four years ago, I never thought that one day I would end my high school career in such a way, thank fate, thank God, let me grow from an insignificant little person in these four years For the Washington state champion, now, I can proudly say, NCAA, here I come! National champion, here I come!"
Very proud.
Looking at Starkey's speech in the interview and the photo of him holding up the championship trophy in the newspaper, Ye Si admired in his heart.
Although Stuckey is his old enemy, he has to admit that Stuckey is indeed qualified to be so proud now.
Stuckey was his biggest rival and enemy during his four years at Garfield High School.
The two are in the same position and started their high school basketball career with the same aura of genius.
Ye Si is a child prodigy who shocked the entire Washington State as soon as he debuted. He followed Roy and the others to create the strongest legend of the Five Tigers in Washington State.
And Stucky is a late bloomer. From the beginning of being brutalized by him to the bloody abuse of him not long ago, Stucky's progress in the past four years is incredible.
"Thank fate? I didn't expect that I would become fate one day"
Perhaps, in Stucky's mind, he is no longer worthy of being his old enemy, and he is just a passer-by in his fate.
Stuckey leading Kentwood High to the Washington State Championship is the biggest news in Washington State today.
But for Seattle, Kenderwood High? Never mind them.
The Stranger, the largest local newspaper in Seattle today, has the most important headline on the front page of the news about Yeth.
"Yes officially joined the University of Washington, Garfield's Five Tigers reunited, the unfinished dream of four years ago will continue, and the glory of Seattle will set sail again!"
Seattle glory ah...
Looking at the photo on almost half of the page in The Stranger, Ye Si smiled wryly and shook his head.
Here's a picture of them sweeping Washington state four years ago.
A faded old photo.
It is also an old photo that can be seen everywhere in Seattle, whether it is restaurants, libraries, or coffee shops.
He also had this photo in his dormitory, but he put it away last year.
This photo carries the expectations and dreams of too many people...
Putting away the newspaper, Ye Si took a deep breath, and the turbulent emotions calmed down slightly.
"Ye, let me tell you a secret. Today in Seattle, the sales volume of The Stranger will be more than 10 times that of the New York Times."
The Stranger sells more than 10 times as much as the New York Times?
These words sound familiar...
"Adrian, you told me that four years ago"
Ye Si waved his hands and ran away from this place that always reminded him of the past.
"Thanks, old man"
This old man is so annoying...
Yees found that everything around him has changed today after he made the decision to join the University of Washington.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that when he was running, the people who greeted him became more enthusiastic today than before.
The smile on the face also increased.
Ye Si really never thought that one day he would have such an ability.
but……
Aren't you afraid of being disappointed again?
Running back to the dormitory, Ye Si was about to take a shower when there was a knock on the door of the dormitory.
When I opened the door, I saw four smiling old acquaintances standing at the door.
"Yes!"
"Yes?"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar address, Ye Si smiled and shook his head.
"Come in"
