You guys are pretty good

Because of the presence of Yes and the University of Washington, the players from the other seven teams at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Stadium were forced to move to the other side of the court.

It's a little crowded.

Rajon Rondo frowned in displeasure.

The tall guy next to him has been influencing him.

"Hello, are you Rajon Rondo from the University of Kentucky?"

Do you know me?

"I watched last year's double-overtime quarterfinal game between Kentucky and Michigan State University; it was a fantastic game, and your defense was outstanding!"

When the tall, thin guy next to him mentioned last year's game, Rondo's expression softened slightly.

"Who are you?"

"University of Nevada, Ramon Sessions, the fifth seed from the Atlanta region this year. If all goes well, we'll face the University of Washington in the round of 16, or perhaps you, the University of Kentucky."

"..."

I am xxx from xxx University, and we will meet the University of Washington in round x.

Is it now fashionable to use the date you were rejected by the University of Washington as a way to introduce yourself?

Is this self-deprecation or helplessness?

Perhaps both are true...

If they weren't truly outmatched, who would willingly become someone's lapdog?

This half of the court is too crowded now, making it difficult to continue practicing.

Yes and the University of Washington are not going to care about the difficulties these teams face.

All the players came to familiarize themselves with the venue, except for the coach.

My shooting touch is really good today.

Yes held the basketball and, as usual, began his shooting practice from the center circle.

On his first shot, he immediately hit a touch rating of 85, and the basketball bounced off the rim.

"Is that Yes's mid-court shot? That's amazing!"

Ramon Sessions stared wide-eyed at the shot that swished past the rim.

He just tossed it in casually and it almost went in! Is there no justice in this world?!

No wonder the American media and NCAA fans are so obsessed with Yes!

Even he had just put himself in Yes's shoes, feeling sorry that Yes hadn't made that shot.

Yes's playing style really gets the atmosphere going!

No matter who you are, you'll be captivated by his incredible shooting skills!

Of the seven teams besides the University of Washington, only the players from the University of California, Berkeley, also a P-10 team, were most familiar with Yes's mid-court shot.

They had seen it in person before, while others had only seen it on television.

The impact of Yes's shot in person is much greater than the impact on television!

They originally came here to familiarize themselves with the venue, hoping to defeat Yes and the University of Washington, unwilling to accept the foreseeable fate of elimination.

Now they are all captivated by Yes's fancy shooting.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of reporters at the scene are snapping photos incessantly.

"Based on our experience in the P-10 league, Yes will make a mid-court shot before starting his other shots, such as those from the sideline, the stands, or behind the basket!"

"What if you miss the mid-court shot?"

"How could he miss mid-court shots? Yes has only taken a few, and although he hasn't made any today, almost every one of them just barely missed the rim!"

"Besides, look at the environment Yes is in right now, being surrounded by so many reporters. Even a normal shot would put a lot of pressure on most people. Yes's mental fortitude is incredible!"

"What are these reporters compared to Yes? He's the kind of guy who dared to challenge JJ Redick on Duke's home court! He's completely fearless of any pressure!"

After all, he's the kind of person who can openly and expressionlessly swat a baseball bat!

Ramon Sessions thought to himself.

"Yes, why aren't you voting?"

"Wait a minute."

Yes signaled to Dentmon not to pass the ball yet, temporarily halting his fancy shooting practice.

There were no matches today, yet he still managed to rack up such a high skill rating, which seems a bit of a waste.

I hope I can save my hot streak for the game against Duke.

However, looking at the people on the other half of the field, Yes thought of a way to turn his influence into strength.

Yes walked over to the other side of the field.

"Anyone want to play Shooting Stars with me?"

Ramon Sessions and those around him were somewhat tempted.

No fan would refuse a one-on-one challenge from Kobe or Iverson!

Even fans of McGrady and Carter wouldn't refuse!

"Yes, may I?"

Is it LSU-Tech, Louisiana Tech?

A very weak team, Karl Malone's alma mater. Since Karl Malone, this team has never produced an All-Star player.

However, seeing how enthusiastic you are, I'll reluctantly agree.

"Can"

Paul Millsap was delighted when Yes agreed.

Yes, that's right!

The number one superstar in the NCAA right now!

Losing to Yes is okay, but what if we win?!

That would make them famous throughout the entire United States!

"Rajon, let's go too!"

After Paul Millsap successfully registered, the number of people registering on-site immediately surged.

"Yes, why play Shooting Stars with these people? Are you bored shooting hoops alone?"

"That's true. Yes used to enjoy interacting with the fans in the stadium, but now that there are no fans, he can only treat these people as spectators."

Shooting Stars is a competition introduced by the NBA All-Star Game in 2004.

There are six shooting spots in total, including three-pointers from the center circle. The team that makes all six shots in the shortest time wins.

This year's NBA All-Star Shooting Stars Contest winners are Steve Kerr and Tony Parker's San Antonio Spurs.

He completed six shooting spots in just 25 seconds.

The most crucial shot in the Shooting Stars competition is the shot from the center circle; the other five shot spots are generally not very difficult.

While skill is important for mid-court shots, luck definitely plays a larger role.

This year at the NBA All-Star Game, Parker made the shot from the center circle, and it was a one-shot success.

Parker rarely shoots even regular three-pointers, let alone three-pointers from the center circle.

"To avoid making the game boring, let's place some bets."

"A bet? Yes, I... I have no money. I only have $58 left in my bank account."

"No cash betting. If you beat me, you can kick me. If you lose, I'll kick you—well, I'll kick your butt. If you have any problems, you can quit now."

Young Americans don't have the habit of saving, so it's not bad that this person has $58 in savings.

"Has anyone quit?"

No one is quitting!

And everyone was even more excited than before!

Kick Yes's ass!

If we win, we can kick Yes's ass in front of hundreds of reporters across the United States!

If we win, we'll be on the front page of the entire nation tomorrow!

"Since no one wants to quit, I'll start, okay?"

"No problem, Yes, you can go first!"

Of course there won't be any problem. In this kind of competition, it's obvious that the first one to arrive will be at a disadvantage!

"Yes, this time they're really going all out!"

Apart from CCTV intern reporter Wang Han, all the other reporters at the scene were very excited!

"What is Yes doing? All those guys' butts combined aren't as valuable as his. What if he loses?"

Ye Si is competing with more than a dozen people in terms of luck!

What if someone gets lucky and takes less time than Yes?

"Rajon, I'm really lucky today! I'm definitely going to be the winner this time!"

"..."

Why did I participate as well?

Rajon Rondo discovered that he had been dragged there!

Aside from Rajon Rondo, everyone feels like they're on a lucky streak today and might just win!

but……

"First shot, one-shot success!"

"Second shooting spot, one-shot success!"

"Third shooting spot, made on the first try!"

"Fourth shooting spot, one shot!"

"Fifth shooting spot, another one-shot! Next up is center court!"

Such a fast reaction time!

This was the first time Rajon Rondo had ever seen such a fast shot in a live game!

It's the center circle!

Is Yes being adjusted?

After Ye Si reached the center circle, he repeatedly performed the motions of pushing and collecting the ball with both hands.

This move is equivalent to the preparatory action he takes when jumping in advance during a game.

This ensures that once he reaches the right touch level, he can shoot the basketball instantly.

This kind of move is basically unusable in competitions.

It's pretty good for playing Shooting Stars!

……64…58…55…62…71…68…89！

89!

The ball, thrown by Yes, traced a beautiful arc and swished into the net...

"Six shooting spots, and he made all of them on his first try?!"

"Yes's shooting star time was 22 seconds!"

The American reporters watching from the sidelines were stunned.

Ye Si's individual shooting star status requires running!

His results were even better than those of the NBA All-Star Shooting Star champion!

"Did you record it?"

"It's recorded!"

"Excellent! Yes's Shooting Star segment is the highlight of tonight's show!"

What should we do now?

Rajon Rondo was a bit confused. Could he back out now?

"I knew Yes would win! I've never won a bet against him!"

"Me too!"

"And me!"

The bet with Yes is a bloody and tearful history for University of Washington players...

"Are you going to finish the Shooting Stars challenge first, or just lie on the ground with your butts sticking up?"

Is it even necessary to finish it?

Just now, Ye Si's shooting speed and terrifying one-shot were incredible.

Yes's speed is absolutely at its limit!

If Yes's grades weren't so terrible, they could continue playing.

It's unplayable now.

"Rajon, stop spacing out, let's stick our butts out too!"

"..."

Why are you all so agitated?

Are you happy to get your butt kicked?!

Rondo gritted his teeth and finally did as he was told.

"What a spectacular sight!"

"This photo could be tomorrow's front page headline!"

"I've already thought of a title: Yes's New Hobby!"

"Yes, besides liking to play with baseball bats, he also likes to kick people's butts!"

Hearing the clicking sounds around him, Rajon Rondo felt like crying.

Explosiveness +3!

Ye Si kicked at that row of butts, which actually added 3 points to their base explosive power!

Explosive power: 90/75 (80)

The actual explosive power exceeded 90!

This surprised Yes!

What are your names?

"I am Paul Millsap from Louisiana Tech!"

"I'm Ramon Sessions from the University of Nevada. Rajan, it's your turn. Yes, he's asking you a question. Sorry, Yes, this is Rajan Rondo from the University of Kentucky. He's usually not very talkative."

Rajon Rondo?

A look of deep resentment in his eyes—that look, he knew it well…

"You're all good..."

Yes withdrew his gaze from Rondo, nodded slightly to the three of them, and then turned and left.

"Did Yes just compliment us?"

"Hmm, he said we're pretty good, yes, he likes our butts?"

You two perverts, stay away from me!

Yes, I'll definitely kick them back next time!

Watching Yes's retreating figure, Rajon Rondo gritted his teeth and secretly thought about his future revenge.
