Friday, 3pm, on the plastic basketball court in the back field.
I kind of regretted participating in the basketball tournament.
No, it has nothing to do with the fact that the school didn't use NBA rules and split the game into four periods. Instead, they used international standards and split the first and second halves of 20 minutes each.
It has nothing to do with the fact that Niu ShiLi and the others only passed the ball to each other and didn't give me any opportunities to score.
It doesn't even have anything to do with the shocking '2' on my uniform.
The reason I regretted participating was because the boys basketball tournament and the girls volleyball tournament were held at the same time! I was hoping to see the class leader in volleyball shorts, but that little dream was shattered like a soap bubble. Not only could I not watch the girls volleyball match, but I also couldn't fulfill my wish of cheering for me off the court!
The school said it would be held during PE class in order to not interfere with normal classes … but there's no need to rush things like this! Our fading youth is all because of the damned exam-oriented education, leaving behind so many regrets!
Just as I expected, other than Sun Yu and Mu ZhongMing who couldn't leave, there were very few boys from class 2-3 who came to watch the basketball game. They all went to look at the class leader's long legs under her volleyball shorts.
Bastards, I'll curse you all to have needle eyes! Don't think you're amazing just because you saw the class leader's legs! I've even touched them! There's even a video recorded by Shu Zhe!
But I can't take it out just to show off! I'll die! It's just like what the mental patient said last night, I'll really die!
There were also very few girls who came to watch the boys basketball match. Xiong YaoYue naturally couldn't come since she's the captain of the volleyball team. Gong CaiCai went to watch the class leader play volleyball. Most of the people standing outside the basketball court were our opponents today, the spectators from class 2-6. They even formed a six-person female cheerleading squad. They wore tank tops and flared skirts, and they held two colored balls in their hands. They would scream as soon as their class gained the advantage.
When it was time to go on the court, Eunuch Cao walked in front of me with a face full of grief and implored:
"Master, you have to beat class 6! They're too outrageous! They're basically insulting the sport of basketball! "
"Huh? Since when did basketball become a sacred and inviolable part of you? What did the Class 6 basketball players do to provoke you? "
Eunuch Cao wiped his tears, "I don't care about the basketball players, but the cheerleaders from class 6 have no professional ethics at all. They actually … wore safety pants under their flared skirts! Cheerleaders who are not exposed are not considered cheerleaders! Master, you must avenge me in the arena! "
Take revenge for your grandma! Is your life meaningless if you can't see a girl's underwear? You really followed in your father's footsteps and followed in Director Cao's footsteps!
Other than me, Niu ShiLi, Pi ZeGuang, You Chen and Xu LiJun, Xu LiJun was the most talkative. When he saw the cheerleaders from class 6, he said:
"Our class should also have one, even if it's only Gong CaiCai! I think Gong CaiCai doesn't even need to use a colored ball. She only needs to jump a few times empty-handed, and she'll be able to achieve an effect that others can't achieve even with a colored ball … "
"That's right, that's right!" Eunuch Cao had the same expression as Xu LiJun.
When I play basketball, it's impossible for Xiao Qin not to watch and cheer.
Standing on either side of her was Loud Mouth and Little Smart, one fat and one skinny.
I'm not sure if the leader of the 'Rose Group', 'Sis Qin', naturally has the ability to attract followers, or if she recently bribed them with snacks and hardcover BL novels. In short, Loud Mouth and Little Smart, who used to be the class leader's followers, are gradually becoming Xiao Qin's followers.
Is this considered poaching and isolating the enemy? But seeing Xiao Qin standing between Loud Mouth and Little Smart with a silly smile on her face, no one would think that she was a schemer through and through.
"Ye Lin classmate … good luck!"
Because of her androphobia, Xiao Qin could only use a loud voice to encourage me.
"Xiao Qin, did you not eat?" Loud Mouth said emotionally, "Watch me, good luck! You can't lose to those little foxes from class 6! "
"Good luck class 3! Beat up the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of class 6! Ye Lin, you have to work hard as the captain! "
Xu LiJun mumbled behind me: "If it's in terms of voice, Xiong YaoYue might be able to compete with Loud Mouth. But if it's in terms of weight, no one is Loud Mouth's opponent."
Before the game started, the talkative Xu LiJun even said a few words to me. But after Niu ShiLi and the other players isolated me, Xu LiJun stopped chatting with me.
Class 6 was a mediocre opponent. Their overall performance was mediocre. Their skills and tactics were very average. Even the five of them were about the same height.
On our side, other than Niu ShiLi and I who were slightly taller, the other people were only a few centimeters away. The shortest You Chen was only 160cm, which was only a bit taller than Xiao Qin.
But You Chen's dribbling skills were the best out of all of them. His speed and awareness were also pretty good, so I was looking forward to his performance.
After Niu ShiLi won the right to serve in the jump ball, the game officially began.
The referee was the PE teacher, Li DaYong. He had a whistle around his neck that never left his side. He followed the ball from the sidelines with his eyes wide open. The scorekeeper was someone from the Student Council. That guy sat behind a desk half-dead, and on the desk was a simple scoreboard that showed 0: 0.
The first two points were scored by the original substitute, Pi ZeGuang.
Pi ZeGuang, who was only good at shooting from the middle, was able to get a rare opportunity to not be disturbed by the opponent because You Chen quickly broke through and passed with Xu LiJun. He was lucky enough to score in one shot and made the cheerleaders of class 6 cry out in annoyance.
"Good job!" Loud Mouth yelled, "Keep up this momentum, you have to work hard this year and don't lose again!"
Last year, we lost to Shen ShaoYi's class 2 in the men's basketball tournament, so Loud Mouth probably can't forget it.
Next, we switched to defense. You Chen successfully intercepted the ball and passed it to Niu ShiLi. Niu ShiLi scored with a layup and gave me a challenging look when he landed.
After that, Xu LiJun and Niu ShiLi coordinated a little bit and Xu LiJun successfully scored with a 45 degree angle shot.
This way, the scoreboard became 6: 0 and my bet with Niu ShiLi also became 6: 0.
I haven't even touched the ball for an entire five minutes.
On one hand, Niu ShiLi and the others didn't pass the ball to me. On the other hand, I was named 'third in the school' by the captain of the basketball team, Guo SongTao. It scared the shit out of class 6. In order to prevent me from scoring, they even sent two people to guard me, which decreased the pressure on Niu ShiLi.
After a while, class 6 realized something was wrong. Why aren't they passing the ball to Ye Lin? After calling a timeout and changing their tactics, they appeared in front of us with a completely new look.
There was only one person left to guard me and the other teammates were being disrupted. It seems like class 6 isn't stupid and they realized we weren't united.
"I heard Ye Lin and Niu ShiLi made a bet and the loser would have to drink Fu Yan Jie, but I never thought it was true!"
The substitutes of class 6 whispered to each other.
I thought Niu ShiLi would make mistakes under the sudden increase in pressure since he hasn't touched the ball for a long time. In the end, Niu ShiLi was more steady than I imagined. Although he didn't score, he didn't lose the ball either. On the other hand, Pi ZeGuang continuously made mistakes and the score became 6: 4.
After a three-pointer from class 6's captain, we fell behind for the first time. Looking at the scoreboard with the score 6: 7, class 6's cheerleaders happily waved colored balls and shouted in unison: "Advance bravely, every ball will go in".
"Not a single ball will go in!" Loud Mouth added after the cheerleaders with a dark expression.
Xiao Qin, who couldn't cheer loudly because of her androphobia, used her eyes to communicate with me on the court as if she was saying: "You have to win!"
Of course I have to win! There are too many reasons for me to win!
This is the first time I've been in charge of an important competition since I became the boys' PE committee member, how can I have a bad start!
In order to save time, the school uses a single elimination system for both the boys' and girls' teams. If you lose once, you won't have a chance to make a comeback! I clearly promised the class leader that I would give her a certificate for being the year's champion!
If I don't have a certificate, I won't have a ticket to freeload at the class leader's house! Then wouldn't all my hard work of sending Niu ShiLi to brother Tao to train and using Fu Yan Jie to motivate my teammates be for naught?
Most importantly, Fu Yan Jie is definitely not meant for humans to drink! If I can't score the most points in class 2-3, even if I win the year's championship, I still have to drink Fu Yan Jie!
I made a decision when I saw Xiao Qin's encouraging gaze: I can't lose! If I drink Fu Yan Jie, it would feel weird even if I kiss Xiao Qin in the future!
Although I shouldn't kiss Xiao Qin who will likely become my stepsister in the future, there's always a possibility, I still don't want to drink Fu Yan Jie!
All sorts of reasons why I can't lose entered my heart and flowed through my body. I let out a roar and suddenly showed my might. I intercepted the ball that Pi ZeGuang passed to Niu ShiLi, then I jumped up high and scored before my teammates and opponents could react.
"You're amazing!" Xiao Qin mustered up her courage and shouted.
Niu ShiLi looked at me with a complicated expression through his basketball goggles.
Actually, he also knew that the ball that Pi ZeGuang passed to him would most likely be intercepted by the opponent due to the bad angle and lack of strength. I made the first move and scored, so there's nothing to criticize.
But don't even think about it if you want him to praise me.
Just like that, class 6 was in a mess after I intercepted a few passes. When they sent more people to mark me, I would pass the ball to Pi ZeGuang in the middle. After Pi ZeGuang made three consecutive shots, he got used to the game and his stage fright was gone. His mistakes were greatly reduced and he was no longer the shortcoming of class 2-3.
In order to be worthy of their cheerleaders, Class 6 worked hard to catch up. Their attacks came wave after wave, and the score was very close at one point. When the first half was about to end, Xu LiJun was forced into a corner by two opposing defenders. He saw a teammate in a white uniform standing in an advantageous position, so he passed the ball without thinking too much.
The person standing in an advantageous position was me.
