After Zhang Yuan intercepted the ball from point guard number 3, he didn't pass it to anyone else. Instead, he dribbled directly to the basket and easily scored a layup!
Because of the speed, the center from Class 1 of the Communication Department didn't even have time to react.
The ball has already gone in.
The score was tied again, and Zhang Yuan stepped up again at the crucial moment! Outside the stadium, the audience chanted Zhang Yuan's name and cheered him on.
Next, Chen Zhen from Class 1 of the Communication Department made a shot and scored two points. Xie Feng was not to be outdone. After dribbling and breaking through, he also made a shot and scored two points with Ma Jianhua's screen.
Then Zhang Yuan stole the ball from the number 3 point guard's hand and scored a layup, leaving the opposing number 3 point guard extremely frustrated!
The two sides were neck and neck.
Near the end of the game, Chen Zhen, who was exhausted, passed the ball to the third point guard, but Zhang Yuan intercepted it halfway. Zhang Yuan then broke through the interception of the third point guard and Chen Zhen in succession, and successfully dunked to score 2 more points, securing the victory.
In the end, Class 1 of Chinese Language and Literature won the championship of the College of Arts and Philosophy Freshman Basketball League with a score of 82 to 80!
Xie Feng scored 22 points in the game, while Ma Jianhua scored 18 points.
Zhang Yuan scored 28 points, along with 25 rebounds and 6 dunks!
Become the MVP!
Zhang Yuan, who only wanted to cultivate immortality in a low-key manner, accidentally won an MVP award.
The Chinese Language Class 1 won the championship in the freshman basketball tournament of the School of Arts and Philosophy and will receive a cash reward of 5,000 yuan from the college.
Class monitor Ma Jianhua proposed that the 5,000 yuan bonus be distributed as follows: 500 yuan each for the five main players, 100 yuan each for the five substitutes, and the remaining 2,000 yuan be used to treat the whole class to a meal.
The suggestion was supported by everyone in the class meeting.
However, the 500 yuan bonus that Zhang Yuan was so looking forward to would not be received for another two days, as the college needed to go through some procedures.
Xie Feng, the rich guy from dormitory 302, couldn't wait any longer and treated the other three people from dormitory 302 to a meal at a restaurant that very night.
The dishes have been served for over fifty days, and the wine for over thirty days.
Xie Feng, Zhu Gan, and Fei Bo were all a little drunk, and the conversation naturally turned to the girls in their class.
Bamboo Pole said he liked Chen Tingting, while Fat Bo said he thought Li Jiajia was quite nice.
Xie Feng: "If you like her, then go for it! If you don't, someone else will beat you to it, and you'll regret it."
Both Zhugan and Feibo thought it made a lot of sense, and then the topic turned to Zhang Yuan.
The drunken man said, "Zhang Yuan, I feel like Chu Mengyao's gaze towards you is a bit strange. Tell me, are you two having an affair?!"
Fei Bo: "Right, right, this afternoon I noticed that Chu Mengyao was staring intently at Zhang Yuan. There must be something between you two!!"
"Speak quickly!"
Confess honestly!
Zhang Yuan quickly said, "That's not true, don't talk nonsense. I've never been in contact with Chu Mengyao!"
Xie Feng: "Really?"
Zhang Yuan: "Why would I lie to you? I don't even have Chu Mengyao's WeChat, how could I contact her!"
Zhang Yuan shrugged and said innocently.
Xie Feng said, his eyes glazed over with drunkenness.
"I'm asking you, do you have feelings for Chu Mengyao?"
Xie Feng rubbed Zhang Yuan's neck, using his slight drunkenness to probe for military intelligence.
"How could that be? How could a girl as beautiful as Chu Mengyao like someone like me?"
Zhang Yuandao.
Xie Feng nodded, thinking to himself, "That's right, you're not as handsome as me, and you're so dull!"
"Since you don't like Chu Mengyao, I'm going to pursue her!"
"Go ahead and chase after her, it's none of my business."
Zhang Yuan said with dissatisfaction.
He just wants to cultivate immortality in peace.
Fei Bo suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Feng, didn't you say yesterday that you like the school beauty Zeng Jingxue and that you wanted to pursue her?"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Xie Feng: "What's it to you!"
The sly-looking boy with the bamboo pole grinned, "Brother Feng is casting a wide net to catch more fish. If he misses one, he can always chase another."
Zhang Yuan: Hmm?
After downing four bottles of beer, Fatty Bo was completely out of control, slurring his words, "Brother Feng, you're a true playboy, a role model for us all!"
"Come on, let's all toast Brother Feng together in Dorm 302!"
Wishing Brother Feng a resounding victory!
Wishing everyone success in winning over the girl they like!!
cheers! \"
...
Two days later, Ma Jianhua received the 5,000 yuan prize money from the college basketball tournament and came to dormitory 302 to distribute the money.
"Squad leader, what brings you here!"
"We're giving you money."
"Has the prize money for the basketball tournament been received yet?"
\"right!\"
When money was mentioned, Fei Bo, Zhu Gan, and Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up.
Xie Feng remained calm, leisurely putting down the mirror and muttering to himself, "Hey, I'm even more handsome than yesterday! From now on, please call me Handsome Xie!"
Xie Tuhao's monthly living expenses are several thousand yuan, so he naturally doesn't feel anything about the 500 yuan bonus.
"Fat Bo, your 100; Bamboo Pole, your 100."
"Thank you, class monitor!"
Although the money wasn't much, Fei Bo and Zhu Gan were very happy to receive it, since they were just substitutes and their playing time and number of appearances throughout the entire academy competition could be counted on one hand.
"Xie Feng, your 500!"
"Zhang Yuan, your 500!"
Zhang Yuan happily accepted the money. 500 yuan was more than half a month's living expenses for him. Most importantly, this was the first money he had earned with his own abilities.
With the first one secured, how far away can the second be?
hey-hey.
Oh, and there's one more thing I want to tell you.
Our college basketball team's physical education teacher, Mr. Wang, selected the members of the College of Arts and Philosophy's freshman basketball team based on the recent college freshman basketball tournament. Three students from our class were selected, which is the most from any class.
"Who are those three?"
The bamboo pole asked.
"Xie Feng, Zhang Yuan, and me!"
However, I was only a substitute player on the college's freshman basketball team; Xie Feng and Zhang Yuan were selected as the main members of this year's freshman basketball team.
Xie Feng looked smug upon hearing this.
He acted as if it were perfectly natural.
Congratulations to Xie Shuai and Zhang Yuan!
Bamboo Pole and Fat Wave both offered their congratulations.
"I'm so good at basketball, I absolutely have to be selected as a starter for the college basketball team!"
Xie Feng chuckled and said shamelessly.
"Yesterday I saw Teacher Wang's tentative starting roster for the college's freshman basketball team. Xie Feng and Chen Zhen from Class 1 of the Communication Department are both the college team's starting point guards, and Zhang Yuan is our college's starting center! Da Zhuang from Class 2 of the Chinese Language and Literature Department is the backup center."
Ma Jianhua said happily.
He thought Zhang Yuan would be as happy as Xie Feng to hear the news, but Zhang Yuan was expressionless, indifferent, and even seemed a little unhappy.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan was muttering to himself: "Another match?"
It's interfering with my cultivation!
"Zhang Yuan, you don't seem too keen on this?"
"No, I think Dazhuang played quite well too. He might be more suitable than me for the starting center position on the college freshman basketball team."
Zhang Yuan declined.
Squad Leader Ma sighed.
"So many people are vying to join the college basketball team. Zhang Yuan, you play center so well, why don't you want to join the college basketball team?"
I heard that Coach Wang is arrogant and doesn't like to force people to do things his way. If you don't go to the college team, he'll definitely make Dazhuang the starting center!
"Then let Dazhuang go. Dazhuang is a very honest and reliable guy, and he plays basketball quite well. He'll definitely be the team's starting center. I want to spend more time studying lately, so I can focus on my studies!"
Zhang Yuan lowered his head and spouted nonsense, giving reasons that even he himself didn't believe.
"Study hard?"
Zhang Yuan said he wants to spend more time studying!
Bamboo Pole, Fat Bo, Xie Feng, and Ma Jianhua all laughed.
This guy is either daydreaming or sleeping with his eyes closed in class. I've never seen him listen properly since the first day of school, and he's never come to evening self-study once. Yet he says he wants to study hard!
Isn't this a huge joke?!
In Chinese Class 1, there were 46 students. Ma Jianhua believed anyone who said they would study hard, but he absolutely did not believe Zhang Yuan.
Will he study hard?!
Bullshit!
"Oh, if you don't want to go, that's fine. It's a pity, such a great opportunity to showcase yourself and bring glory to the academy!"
The school is really generous with this year's freshman college basketball league, awarding a prize of 5,000 yuan to the first-place college, and even the third-place college will receive a 5,000 yuan prize!
The poster for the college basketball league should be released in the next couple of days!
Ma Jianhua said quietly, then shook his head and turned to leave dormitory 302. He still had to go to other boys' dormitories to distribute the basketball tournament prize money.
Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that the first place winner of the Freshman Academy Basketball League would receive a prize of 100 yuan!
Yuan? ! ! !
Why didn't you say so sooner, class monitor?!
Zhang Yuan: "Class monitor, wait a minute, I think you're right. I should also strive to bring honor to the college. Studies can wait!"
Zhang Yuan scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly.
Ma Jianhua: "Really? That's great!"
"If you join the freshman basketball team, our School of Literature and Philosophy will have a much better chance of winning the university-wide freshman basketball league championship!"
Ma Jianhua grinned.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing, I almost forgot to mention."
"I've already booked a restaurant for our class's celebratory dinner after winning the freshman basketball tournament in the School of Arts and Philosophy. It's the Banyan Tree Restaurant outside the school."
Everyone, please be there on time at 6 PM tonight!
"Okay, okay!"
Bamboo Pole and Fatty nodded in agreement.
Xie Feng nodded and asked if the girls in dormitory 502 and Chu Mengyao had gone.
Ma Jianhua said that everyone went, except for one or two girls who might not be able to go due to stomach discomfort.
"Oh dear, my stomach feels a bit upset too! Class monitor, you see, I probably can't go tonight."
Zhang Yuan clutched his stomach, pretending to be upset.
The academy basketball tournament had already wasted a lot of his time, and the upcoming school basketball tournament would definitely waste even more. Zhang Yuan, who was focused on cultivation and wanted to become a Yang God Immortal, did not want to waste any more time on trivial matters like eating.
He wants to work twice as hard in his training to make up for the time he wasted in the basketball tournament this past month!
Moreover, class dinners inevitably involve social obligations, which Zhang Yuan dislikes. He prefers to focus on his cultivation in the dormitory, hoping to open up more acupoints and reach the Meridian Opening Realm as soon as possible!
He was only close to a few people in dormitory 302 and the class monitor, Ma Jianhua; he rarely interacted with the other classmates.
So Zhang Yuan came up with a lame excuse to avoid going.
Ma Jianhua pursed his lips, looking at Zhang Yuan clutching his stomach, unsure whether Zhang Yuan was telling the truth or not, and said, "You're such a troublemaker. Alright, then you should rest well in your dorm. If your stomach doesn't hurt anymore, try to participate. These kinds of class activities don't come around often, so cherish the opportunity to connect with your classmates! Don't be a shut-in."
"Alright, squad leader!"
Zhang Yuan immediately said excitedly.
After class monitor Ma Jianhua left the dormitory, Zhang Yuan stood up straight, his face glowing, showing no sign of stomach discomfort whatsoever.
Feibo looked at Zhang Yuan with confusion: "Zhang Yuan, didn't you say your stomach wasn't feeling well?"
Zhang Yuan: "Yeah, it's a little better now!"
Fat Bo: "But~"
