Chapter 73 Pride

Since he came to the United States five years ago to pursue his dream of studying abroad, Ye Si seldom went home in the past five years.

When he came to the United States, he was just a 14-year-old boy full of curiosity and longing for the future.

Back now, he's the Seattle Miracle, the Garfield Hurricane, everyone's favorite Yes.

In the past five years, many incredible things have happened.

On July 10, 2006, Ye Si boarded a plane from Seattle to Shanghai with Wang Han and a few assistants from the "Team Ye".

Returning to China this time, Dean Simmons and Anthony Washington did not follow, they are too busy now.

Simmons and Washington are not only the principals of his "Team Leaf", they are also the agents of Roy and Conroy.

Simmons and Washington teamed up to start a sports agency with Yees' backing.

Because it is backed by the University of Washington, a giant in American academia, there is no shortage of professional talents, coupled with Ye Si's financial support.

The new sports economy company is already on the right track.

Ye Si's current annual salary is a little over 5 million US dollars, and after deducting taxes every month, it is only more than 200,000 US dollars.

Naturally, it is impossible to use these salaries to invest in Simmons and Washington.

The money he invested was part of the advertising fee for the global image spokesperson signed with Microsoft.

The first commercial endorsement contract he received after joining the NBA was a three-year, $15 million global image spokesperson contract from Microsoft.

The specifications of this contract are very high.

Yeth is also the first NBA star to serve as Microsoft's global image spokesperson.

According to what he learned from Simmons and Washington, his endorsement contract was snatched from LeBron James.

It's not considered a steal. After he was traded back to Seattle by the Sonics, Microsoft took the initiative to terminate the negotiations with the James team and approached him.

James is the player with the best image in the NBA right now.

Loyal, inspirational, powerful, and a gentleman.

As far as business is concerned, James is already one of the strongest active NBA players.

But this is Seattle, and he is not only the miracle of Seattle, Hurricane Garfield, but also Chinese.

James, can't beat him.

In addition to signing with Microsoft, some other companies in Seattle such as Boeing and Nordstrom are also negotiating with the "Leaf Team".

In the case of Nike or Coca-Cola, everyone is similar, and there is no gap.

As long as Yeth negotiates these local companies in Seattle, his commercial endorsement contracts will immediately surpass James.

Local businesses in Seattle are not comparable to local businesses in Cleveland.

And that's why LeBron James is so sought after and respected now.

Committing to die in Cleveland requires great sacrifice and courage.

"Yes, the newly formed CCTV interview team is already waiting for us in Shanghai. The next time we return to the United States, it will be very lively!"

Returning to China this time, Wang Han was very excited, so excited that he wanted to hold his arm, but Ye Si directly avoided him.

Pulling your arms doesn't increase your stamina.

Ye Si returned to China this time for two reasons. One is that he hasn't seen his parents for a long time and misses them very much. Now that he has time, he can spend more time with them when he comes back.

Always let Xiaoyao take care of them, always feel that they don't want him as a son in the future.

Apart from being with his parents, another purpose is of course to find Xiaoyao to practice endurance.

His current base stamina is 55, which is enough in the NCAA, but not in the NBA.

He has thousands of battle experience with the 04 Pistons. Every time he finishes a game with the Pistons, he feels like he is exhausted and needs to rest for several days.

In his dream, he would be at full strength just by restarting a game.

But in the real world, there is no such thing.

The way to increase stamina from 55 to 60 can be done as long as you find Xiaoyao.

As for after 60, if kissing is no longer enough, he needs to find a new way.

"Um~ Ye, Ye Si, I, I'm very, very hot now, Hugh, can you take a break..."

"I don't think so!"

At home in the magic city.

Ye Si looked at the blushing and panting beauty who was hugged by him, and kissed her seriously again.

Summer is already very hot!

I'm also very hot, even with the air conditioner turned on, I'm still insisting on it!

Yes! You big idiot!

It took Ye Si and Xiaoyao a day to increase the basic stamina from 55 to 60.

For most of the day, the two hid in Yeth's room.

From 60:00 to 61:00, Ye Si and Xiao Yao also spent a day.

The difficulty of promotion has increased, but Ye Si is still very happy.

Prove that this method can still be used.

It wasn't until half a month later that Ye Si raised his basic stamina to 70, which was a level that could no longer be improved.

Stamina: 77/70 (80)

Equipped with the Westbrook Card, his current actual stamina has reached 77 points!

On July 29, 2006, Luwan Gymnasium in Shanghai.

The Luwan Gymnasium is the home of the Sharks, but tonight's game is not a Sharks game.

It was a warm-up match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the American star team.

In this game, Jess was also invited to help the national team.

Ye Si will not participate in this year's World Championships, this is his decision after discussion with the national team.

For Yes, the national team's current attitude is that Yes will definitely be the main defender for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Of course, the national team wants Ye Si to participate in this year's World Championships.

This is the investigation of Ye Si and also wants the defenders of other national teams to see the strength of Ye Si.

But then Yao Ming took the initiative to find the national team leader to help Ye Si push this year's national team task.

Forty NCAA games throughout the year, coupled with the draft and the status quo that Ye Si has been drifting in the United States for five years, if Ye Si takes on the task of the national team again, it will be too heavy.

Yao Ming said so, the national team still wants to give Yao Ming face.

What's more, what Yao Ming said is right, we can take advantage of this year's World Championships to inspect rookie defenders like Chen Jianghua and the others.

Ye Si, there is really no need to investigate.

As for letting Ye Si stand out in this year's World Championships.

Ye Si will have a lot of opportunities in the NBA next season.

"Yezi, I am also a person who has been there. I also know the physical and mental pressure of this continuous rotation. You can rest well this summer and leave the task of the national team's results to me."

"In the future, in addition to the World Championships and the Olympics, the task of the national team's performance, the Asian Championships or the Asian Games will be left to me. You don't have to come back in the future."

Ye Si is very grateful to Yao Ming, but he doesn't like to owe favors. This is Ye Si's repayment to Yao Ming.

Today, the opponent of the Chinese national team is the American star team.

But in the star team, there wasn't any star Ye Si was familiar with.

Giving the title of star to this group of American players who are not considered stars in the NCAA is mainly to strengthen the morale of the fighters.

But even in the face of these American star teams who are not considered stars in the NCAA, and there are high school students in the middle, the Chinese national team is struggling.

When Yao Ming rested off the court, the national team was under pressure.

This is also the first time that Ye Si has felt the strength of the national team players up close.

Looking at his 45 ball possession on the attribute panel, he felt that he had overestimated Liu Wei before.

Without Yao Ming, the national team is beaten by the American star team, but after all, the national team still has Yao Ming.

89 to 80, and finally the national team defeated the "powerful" American star team by a small score.

This made the more than 3,000 spectators very happy. The Chinese team defeated the American team. Great!

In this kind of game, ordinary fans can't buy tickets for the game, and most of the spectators are actually the group of people who join in the fun and get free tickets.

Not many people understand football, and not many people understand the difference between the American star team and the American team.

Maybe they will think that the American star team is stronger than the American team.

"What happened to those American stars? Shouldn't they go to Yao Ming for autographs? Why did they go to the sidelines to ask that young man for an autograph and a group photo?!"

"Do any of you know that young man?"

As soon as the game was over, the players of the American star team rushed towards Ye Si like crazy.

Every All-Star player who got Yeth's autograph was happy.

Every All-American player pictured with Yeth was thrilled.

This is Yes!

This is a miracle in Seattle, Hurricane Garfield!

I didn't expect them to meet Yes when they came to China to work part-time to earn extra money!

"Dayao, what's going on?"

Seeing those American stars who beat themselves up like hungry wolves are as cute as huskies in front of Ye Si, this made other players in the national team feel a little strange.

"Leaf is better than me in America"

Yao Ming said with a smile.

In the United States, Ye Zi is the real idol star, he is not an idol, at best he is a powerful star.

"Yes, I'm Kemba Walker from Rice High School, and our entire team is your fan!"

Kemba Walker? Seeing this excited black boy, Ye Si heard something familiar.

It turned out to be him...

"I also watched the national game between you and Derrick Rose. It was a great performance. I am waiting for you in the NBA"

After Ye Si signed the black boy's autograph, he patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, then took Xiaoyao's hand and left the Luwan Arena.

"Yes, that's cool!"

Kemba Walker, who was encouraged by Ye Si, was very excited.

"Yes!"

"Um?"

"you are great!"

The girl holding Ye Si's arm looked happy and proud.

Ye Si stayed in China until mid-September, and he returned to the United States after his birthday.

This was the first time he celebrated his birthday at home in five years, looking at the crying mother and Xiaoyao, Ye Si always knew very well that this was the price he paid for chasing his dreams.

Whether it's for himself or for those who have been silently supporting him behind him, he must reach the other side of his dream!

Now, it's just the beginning, not the end!

He wants to make them proud!

He wants to make everyone who supports him proud!
