There's no need to specifically organize games to play basketball at school.
Lu Yibei stood alone on the basketball court.
After he warmed up a bit by stretching his muscles, two boys came up to him and asked him:
"Hey buddy, can you play basketball?"
"I know a little."
Lu Yibei replied with a smile, "I didn't play very well."
"Let's team up," one of the boys with buzz cuts said. "We're just one short."
“Stable,” Lu Yibei said.
He followed the two boys to the other side of the basketball court.
In school, pickup games are almost always half-court, three-on-three.
Free team formation.
Four or five teams rotated during each half.
When a round ends, the winner continues, and the loser lines up for the next round.
Most people who come to play pickup basketball are just doing it for fun and to get some exercise.
Such rules allow them to catch their breath after playing one or two rounds, which is much more comfortable than playing a full-court, all-out battle.
"Bro! Add another group!"
The crew-cut boy said loudly.
The basketball court is all about casualness; there aren't too many teams. Once you shout, you're in, and then you just have to wait in line.
Cutting in line is unacceptable.
After all, the leniency of the rules is based on the premise that everyone will abide by them.
If anyone breaks the default rules, then we won't include them in the game.
After shouting, the man with the buzz cut went to talk to the other players in front of him.
He returned and told Lu Yibei and another teammate:
"Nine substitutions, two points count as one point, three points count as two points, bro, are you accurate with three-pointers?"
When he went to ask.
Lu Yibei also had a brief chat with the handsome guy with short hair next to him and learned that the guy with short hair was named Chen Guang, while the guy with the buzz cut was named Wu Sheng.
They already knew each other.
As a first-year student, after learning that Lu Yibei was a second-year student, he jokingly called him "brother".
Lu Yibei smiled confidently:
"It's not just accurate, it's like you can't even put your shot in the right spot."
The two found Lu Yibei's speech amusing and that he didn't try to be pretentious, which increased their positive impression of him.
"It's okay, I'll shoot if there's an open shot, it doesn't matter if it goes in or not—"
Wu Sheng patted his chest and declared, "I'll take care of the backboard."
Chen Guang also said, "You can tell he's incredibly good at positioning just by looking at his big butt."
"Say it or not, what are you touching!" Wu Sheng pouted at Chen Guang.
"I was touching a fart."
Chen Guang withdrew his hand from the groping area and asked Lu Yibei, "Brother, which department are you in?"
"Computer Science Institute."
"Holy crap!"
Chen Guang quickly said, "Is the campus beauty among this year's freshmen from your department? Her name is... um, Ji Qing..."
"Ji Qingqian".
"Yes, that's right, Ji Qingqian. It's the senior from the same department who remembers her clearly... Have you met her?" Chen Guang asked.
The topic of the school beauty has been around for a month, and hardly anyone talks about it anymore.
Look at this Brother Chen, he's even forgotten Qingqian's name.
But for guys, conversations inevitably revolve around games, pretty girls, anime, and the like.
Chen Guang just randomly played the "Beauty" deck.
"I've met you before," Lu Yibei said with a smile.
"Is it really that good-looking?" Chen Guang asked.
"It might look even better than the rumors suggest," Lu Yibei nodded.
"Brother, as her senior, why don't you ask for her WeChat?"
Chen Guang clicked his tongue and said, "But I heard that girl is really aloof; even if you ask for her WeChat, you'll be firmly rejected..."
Lu Yibei: "..."
Yes, she is indeed aloof.
Even when the temperature drops in autumn, people don't forget to eat popsicles.
The milk tea should be served completely iced.
Chen Guang wasn't particularly interested in Lady Ji; he was simply trying to find topics to talk about with this new teammate. After a brief exchange, they moved on to a new conversation:
"Hey buddy, are the job prospects for computer science majors not as good as they were a couple of years ago?"
"yes."
"Do you think it's worthwhile for me to buy a new computer now? Should I get a basic one or an AMD? YES?"
"It depends on your needs."
"I'm just a gamer, bro, do you play games?"
Chen Guang talked a lot, but fortunately Lu Yibei's social skills were still quite good.
We chatted about this and that, which actually helped us get a little closer.
A little while later.
After several teams finished their matches, it was Lu Yibei's turn to take the stage.
Wu Sheng stood at the free-throw line and threw the ball, but it missed.
The opposing team also sent out a general, and it went in.
Therefore, the opponent kicks off first.
The player with the ball retreated to beyond the three-point line, and Chen Guang stared at the defender in front of him.
Suddenly, the other party accelerated.
Chen Guang followed.
The other party suddenly stopped again.
Chen Guang was unable to stop due to inertia, and a body length separated the two.
The opponent raised his hand and threw.
The basketball went through the hoop cleanly.
"No, Old Chen, do you have rheumatism?" Wu Sheng said helplessly.
Chen Guang and Wu Sheng were quite familiar with each other and were used to exchanging trash talk.
But now that Lu Yibei, who had just joined, was present, Chen Guang restrained himself and turned to give Lu Yibei an apologetic smile:
"Mine, mine."
Lu Yibei smiled too.
He only plays basketball to work up a sweat and doesn't take winning or losing too seriously.
The halftime rule here is that as long as a goal is scored, the attack can continue.
Therefore, possession of the ball remains with the opponent.
This time, Chen Guang pulled up his trouser leg and stared at the opposite side.
The opponent accelerated again, and this time Chen Guang was a little slower in defending against his sudden stop and jump shot, but the opponent still managed to get past him in one step.
He chased after him.
The opposing team was about to rush into the penalty area.
Wu Sheng is guarding the penalty area.
But the guy he was matched up against was also a formidable figure, probably over 1.85 meters tall.
