Chapter 40

: The Garfield Storm and Kobe's Scoring Spree!

The University of Washington's decisive victory over UCLA on the road has put immense pressure on the other teams in the P-10 conference.

UCLA is currently the second strongest team in the P-10 league.

The second strongest team was thrashed by the strongest team by more than 20 points at home. That's terrifying!

During the game, the pick-and-roll tactic employed by University of Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar and Yes Roy terrified a host of renowned coaches!

Leaving aside other renowned coaches in other leagues, just look at the University of Washington's next game. Ben Braun, the head coach of the University of California, Berkeley Golden Bears, said in an interview: "The pick-and-roll between Yes and Brandon is beyond the NCAA level. In the NCAA, Yes and Brandon on the same team is more despairing than Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson on the same team in the NBA. Some people in the NBA might really want to see Kobe and Iverson on the same team, but in the NCAA, nobody wants to see Yes and Brandon on the same team. But, despairingly, they're there."

After Yes and Roy's pick-and-roll debuted, CGB head coach Ben Braun used "despair" to describe the feelings of the other teams in the P-10 league.


The game between the University of Washington and UCLA wasn't tense in terms of the score.

A match that was almost one-sided.

Just because the game isn't tense doesn't mean it's not exciting!

During the match, Yes and Roy faced Afflalo's defense, and their various dazzling one-on-one duels were mesmerizing to watch.

The pick-and-roll between Yes and Roy became a sensation in this game, and Afflalo, who was defending Yes and Roy, also became a sensation.

Afflalo was subsequently voted the unluckiest player in the NCAA by CBS experts.

Afflalo was the first player to be brutally beaten by Yes and Roy together.

There will definitely be many players who get beaten up by Yes and Roy in the future, but Afflalo is the first.

After being named the unluckiest player by CBS, Afflalo wasn't disappointed at all; on the contrary, he was quite happy.

"Yes, this is CBS! Out of over four thousand players in the NCAA, do you think it's easy for CBS to single out and report on you like this? I, Aaron Afflalo, am finally famous!"

This guy is desperate for fame!

After the game against UCLA, Yes didn't want to give his phone number to this guy.

But in the end, considering that Afflalo had been bullied by him and Roy the whole time, and that he had also contributed +1 burst of power to him, he exchanged phone numbers with Afflalo.

Yes regretted exchanging phone numbers with Afflalo immediately.

After getting his phone number, this guy harassed him dozens of times a day!

What business is it of mine which media outlets you accept for interviews?

What you see every day, what you eat, and who you sleep with—what does that have to do with me?

You think we're close just because you have my phone number?

snort!

Afflalo was obsessed with fame, and now that he's finally famous, he's gone completely mad.

As for him and Roy, they didn't need to think about it at all.

The reports from all major media outlets across the United States never stopped focusing on him and Roy.

Following this high-profile match, CBS, as usual, capitalized on the buzz surrounding him and Roy.

CBS loves to do those weird lists, like last year when Redick was named the most hated player in America.

This time, CBS is reviewing the most amazing duos in NCAA history.

Yes and Roy won the championship without any suspense.

Given the current popularity of Yes and Roy across the United States, let alone the NCAA, even in the NBA, they could probably compete with the OK combination or the Jordan-Pippen combination!

After Yes and Roy became the NCAA's "first ever" duo, the savvy CBS took the opportunity to invite a bunch of experts and legends to discuss a topic that fans across the United States were most concerned about.

Who would be stronger in the NCAA: Yes + Roy or Iverson + Kobe?

Yes and Roy are currently the most talked-about players in the NCAA.

Kobe and Iverson are currently the NBA's biggest stars, and their battle for the NBA scoring title has now reached a fever pitch.

"Kobe and Iverson are definitely better than Yes and Roy right now, but if they were on the same team, I would choose Yes and Roy without hesitation. Yes and Roy have proven that they don't fight over possession of the ball; one ball is enough for them. Kobe and Iverson haven't proven that yet."

Pippen's words actually garnered support from a group of legends invited by CBS.

CCTV intern reporter Wang Han has always felt that CBS has been discrediting Ye Si recently, and now it's been confirmed.

"Yes, are all the American media outlets this despicable? You and Roy are 'surpassing Kobe and Ai with one win'! Once you and Roy win the NCAA championship, won't you be 'surpassing Jordan with one title'?!"

"It's nothing, right? It's just riding the coattails of their popularity. We can't wait until Brandon and I have faded from the spotlight before we start doing this. Kobe and Iverson won't care."

Iverson and Kobe probably wouldn't care about something like this, right?

They must have gotten used to being criticized these past two years, right?

Ye Si wasn't really sure either.

After defeating UCLA, and with the Yes and Roy duo's explosive run in the NCAA, Kobe's scoring in the NBA has also been skyrocketing recently!

It looks like they're going to have a showdown with Yesroy from afar!

The University of Washington did not have a good start to the season in the P-10 conference.

There are many away games, and many strong teams.

If it weren't for Yes and Roy's pick-and-roll tactics, the University of Washington would have had a hard time maintaining a perfect record during the grueling schedule in January.

After defeating UCLA on the road, the University of Washington, led by Yes and Roy, went on to defeat the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, and the University of Southern California on the road. Back at home, they also defeated strong opponents, the University of Oregon and the University of Arizona.

They've already achieved a six-game winning streak right from the start!

Moreover, in those six games, the combination of Yes and Roy was, as CBS had touted, virtually invincible in the NCAA.

At the very least, in the P-10 league, no team can stop them.

The two of them scored over 60 points together every night!

Six consecutive games with a combined score of 60 or more, which is also an NCAA record!

With Yes and Roy scoring so high, the Yes storm has escalated into the Garfield storm!

The Garfield storm in Seattle, a term that has resurfaced after four years.

The scoring spree between Yes and Roy was sensationalized by CBS and other American media outlets as Yes and Roy's response to Kobe.

Yes and Roy never responded to Kobe.

His and Roy's scoring skyrocketed, they just couldn't stop!

Especially after the term "Garfield storm" reappeared.

Roy, who was usually indifferent to fame and fortune, was suddenly bursting with energy, determined not to let the name "Garfield" be tarnished.

Garfield Storm vs. Kobe: This is CBS and other American media outlets simply disgusting Kobe.

How could Kobe's individual scoring possibly compare to the combined scores of him and Roy?

If we're going to compete, it should be a one-on-one competition!

"Yes, Brandon, congratulations! You've played another fantastic game, extending your winning streak to seven with a home win against Washington State University. You combined for 80 points in this game, a new NCAA record this season, and you'll also be beating Kobe Bryant for the seventh consecutive time!"

On January 22, 2006, in a game between the University of Washington and Washington State University, Yes and Roy combined for 80 points. Both of them were in great form today.

This excellent form also gave CBS a reason to hype up the Garfield storm and say that he continued to outshine Kobe.

Seven consecutive victories over Kobe?

These words made Yes and Roy feel extremely embarrassed.

That's not how you play!

It can only be said that in the past two years, the American media's hostility towards Kobe has reached an extreme level.

Judging from this trend, if Kobe doesn't score more points than him and Roy combined in a game, he might be defeated by them for a whole season.

"Brandon, is there a Lakers game today?"

Yes, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Toronto Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors? They're a good team.

Will the Garfield storm continue to overwhelm Peter Pan?
