Chapter 8 The Former Garfield Five Tigers

Brandon Roy, Will Conroy, Anthony Washington, Dean Simmons, the four are Yeth's seniors at Garfield High School.

They are the other four members of the Five Tigers that swept across Washington State.

All four are now UW students and UW basketball players.

Among them, Brandon Roy and Will Conroy are the main players of the University of Washington.

And Anthony Washington and Dean Simmons are already on the bench.

Four of the once invincible five tigers did not continue to be strong when they arrived at university.

In fact, this is also normal.

Many players who were very good in high school may not be so good in college.

The environment of American high school basketball is completely different from the environment of college basketball.

Compared with the environment of college basketball, high school basketball is still too good.

Like Dean Simmons and Anthony Washington, in high school basketball, they are typically tall, fast and accurate.

But when it comes to the NCAA in college, they become ordinary players who want speed but not speed, height but not height, and even their skills are not very good.

They don't play as substitutes, who will play as substitutes?

Many people will grow taller after they go to university, but these two seniors, apart from growing horizontally, really didn't move much vertically.

When the Garfield Five Tigers ravaged the entire Washington state, the team's coach Floyd said.

Don't look at the five of them who were so stupid at that time, Roy and him may be the only ones who can enter the NBA in the end.

The development of Washington and Simmons can be regarded as in line with Coach Floyd's prediction.

However, the development of him and Roy disappointed Coach Floyd.

He hasn't improved much in recent years.

Roy, on the other hand, suffered from continuous torn menisci in his left and right legs, which greatly affected his development.

The development of the highly anticipated Five Tigers and Four Tigers in Seattle was not as good as expected.

Perhaps only Will Conroy exceeded expectations.

Who would have thought that the black and thin boy who was less than 1.8 meters back then could still start a famous NCAA team, and even be one of the core members.

However, generally speaking, the Five Tigers have failed the expectations of Seattle fans for them so far.

Carmelo Anthony, who stood in front of the Five Tigers and defeated the Five Tigers, has now become a superstar in the NBA.

Anthony is now able to dominate the NBA on the stage.

And what about the five of them?

From the regrettable loss to Anthony at the beginning, until now, they can't even see Anthony's taillights.

The gap turned out to be bigger.

For many in Seattle, though, the joy of the Garfield Five will never be forgotten.

How much pain from the economic crisis and earthquake did the Garfield Five erase for Seattle?

That memory is sweet.

Not only is this true for many Seattleites, but it is also true for the Fab Five.

"You guys are not going to compete with me, what are you doing here? If you want to congratulate, just say no on the phone."

"There is no way to express our joy on the phone, Yeh, congratulations again on joining the University of Washington family"

"congratulate!"

"welcome!"

"thanks"

"Ye, after three years, we can fight together again"

fighting?

"Dean, Anthony, can you still fight in your current body shape? Is it shaking?"

Ye Si avoided the two fat black men, one tall and one short, who wanted to hug him in disgust.

"Ye, I dare to bet you that after four years, your figure will definitely not be much better than ours now!"

"I remember that Dean owes me the bet right now? When will he pay it back?"

"It wasn't my fault,

Ye, that's your own problem. I believe that Garfield High School can achieve the national championship under your hands, there is nothing wrong with that! "

"Dean!"

"Blanton, your eyes are terrible, OK, OK, I was wrong, I apologize, I was really wrong, Ye, please forgive me, you know, I didn't mean that"

Although the short black fat man apologized in a good manner, the other three still looked at Ye Si worriedly.

About their agreement with Ye Si three years ago...

This is what the five of them care most about.

The Garfield High Five still owe Seattle a national title.

None of them have yet fulfilled the expectations of Seattle supporters.

Ye Si's three years in high school have now ended in failure.

And Roy and the others spent three years at the University of Washington, except for this year, they were also lackluster.

Not to mention the NCAA champions, they were eliminated in the first round of the NCAA tournament last year.

The result is only the top sixty-four.

And this is the best result of the University of Washington in the past five years.

As for this year, the University of Washington looks stronger, but in front of the North Carolina Four, no NCAA team has the slightest chance this year.

"Ye, if we have not been able to win the championship in these three years by then, then we have agreed that in the fourth year, you will come to the University of Washington, and we will make one last effort!"

Thinking about the scene three years ago, looking at the small bellies of Anthony Washington and Dean Simmons, Ye Si didn't know what to say for a while.

Is this what you are trying to do?

Have you already given up?

Noticing Ye Si's eyes, both Roy and Conroy were blushing for the two black fat men.

Although it was uncomfortable to be stared at by Ye Si like this, the two black fat men were relieved.

At least Ye Si didn't have the knot they had been worrying about.

They always thought that Ye Si's lack of progress in the past three years was caused by the pressure they put on Ye Si.

Therefore, they have always been full of guilt towards Ye Si.

I think their expectations ruined a super genius.

"Ahem, Yeh, college life is still wonderful, especially after putting down some heavy burdens, I think you will also fall in love with the beauty of college"

"I'm not like you. I'm not from Seattle. I don't have such a big mission, and I don't have any burdens. You can rest assured."

"Ha ha"

All four of Roy laughed.

Hearing the strange laughter of these four people, Ye Si was inexplicably upset.

"Okay, the congratulations are over. You can go back wherever you came. I'm going to take a bath."

"OK, let's go now, Yeh, see you at the University of Washington"

"By the way, we must remember not to have any burden or psychological pressure. Anyway, we are no longer the protagonists at the University of Washington. We have won an NCAA championship with Nate and Martel, and we have fulfilled our promise to Seattle. "

"roll!"

Ye Si picked up the basketball on the table and threw it outside the door. After a while, he heard two voices laughing.

These two fat people!

Hearing the laughter fade away, Ye Si clenched his hands tightly into fists.

Are we not the main characters anymore...

Looking at the rising sun outside, can it really be regarded as the afterglow of the setting sun?

certainly……

cannot!
