His explosiveness was stuck, but he could still improve his speed!

When he was feeling anxious about finding ways to boost his explosiveness, he could use the fluctuation of his speed attribute to ease that anxiety.

If we go by the style of this system, right now, as Yes is getting ready to run to improve his speed, it’s as if he can see a message like this right in front of him.

Mission: Run for two hours

Reward: Speed attribute +1

Of course, this message doesn’t actually exist, but it doesn’t really matter!

After resting for a while and recovering some of his fatigue, Yes started running in the gym!

Garfield High School has already been eliminated from this year’s Washington State high school league.

With no more games, there aren’t many people left in the training gym now.

In fact, there are only two people in the gym at this moment.

One is Yes, and the other is the team’s coach, Floyd.

As for the others, the seniors are preparing to graduate, and the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen aren’t going to do extra training on the weekend.

Isn’t going on a date more enjoyable than sweating it out in the gym?

Even in the United States, there aren’t that many high schoolers aiming for the NBA, not even at a prestigious school like Garfield High.

If Garfield High really had another NBA-level prodigy, the school wouldn’t have fallen into decline over these three years under his leadership.

Garfield High reached its peak in his freshman year.

They forcefully took the state championship, and even nationwide, they were a famous powerhouse!

Back then, the leader of Garfield High, Brandon Roy, had even signed up for the draft!

If Roy wasn’t confident he’d at least make the first round, he wouldn’t have entered the draft.

At that time, Garfield High had Roy, who could make a run at the NBA first round straight out of high school.

They also had him, a top-tier D-level amateur player.

Plus, there were the strong Will Conroy, Simmons, and Anthony Washington.

The five of them could only be described as unstoppable back then.

Maybe not nationwide, but at least in Washington State, they were truly invincible!

But the good times didn’t last long—just one year.

With the graduation of Roy, Conroy, Simmons, and Washington, Garfield High fell into decline under his leadership.

Of course, he wanted to lead Garfield High well and fulfill the expectations Roy and the others had entrusted to him.

“Ye, Garfield High is just one national championship away, and so is Seattle. Next year, you have to avenge us! Defeat Carmelo Anthony!”

The next year, Carmelo Anthony did lose in the end.

But it wasn’t at his hands.

Anthony’s Oak Hill Academy lost to LeBron James’s St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

And the Garfield High he led didn’t even make it out of Washington State, let alone defeat Anthony.

The game between Anthony and James was a clash of titans, a match that surpassed the level of high school leagues.

He went to watch it live, and after seeing it, he felt helpless.

Because of the all-around, outstanding skills he showed as a freshman.

Whether it was the seniors like Roy or the coach Floyd, they all thought he should be a prodigy on the level of Anthony and James.

They had tremendous confidence in him.

Even he himself was very confident.

At that time, his good friend Martell Webster looked up to him.

But who could have known that his potential would max out, and his attributes would never improve again.

This directly led to his abilities not improving much over the next three years compared to his freshman year.

While that level was enough to lead a strong team in Washington State, going further—winning another championship or making a national run—was just wishful thinking.

And the good friend who once looked up to him, Martell Webster, is now an All-American First Team high school player!

If things had gone as Garfield High’s coach Floyd and Roy expected,

He should also be an All-American First Team high school player by now, maybe even the MVP of the Nike Hoop Summit and the McDonald’s All-American Game!

In the Garfield High basketball gym, Yes was running lap after lap, focused and determined.

Even when passing by Floyd, he didn’t relax for a second.

This kind of Yes made Floyd feel very moved and gratified.

Even though Yes’s basketball talent has proven to be limited,

As long as he can face all of life’s challenges with this attitude, Floyd can rest easy.

He is Garfield High’s basketball coach, but he’s also a teacher at Garfield High.

The Garfield basketball team teaches more than just basketball.

He hopes that everyone who leaves him, who leaves the Garfield basketball team, will have a wonderful life.

Not just a basketball life.

For the past four years, he’s accompanied Yes through countless days and nights. Now, with Yes’s graduation season approaching, there really aren’t many chances left to watch Yes train like this.

So satisfying!

After two hours of running, his speed attribute increased by exactly 1 point right on time!
