The National Day holiday passed quickly.
Feibo and Zhugan also returned to school one after another, and everyone resumed their daily class schedule.
University life is both monotonous, boring, and interesting.
Zhang Yuan was still busy cultivating and hadn't read a single word of the book, but he still hadn't been able to open the third acupoint on the Ren and Du meridians, Yaoyangguan.
This made Zhang Yuan realize that cultivating immortality was not as easy as he had thought, and therefore, he looked forward to the Foundation Establishment Pill even more.
If the Foundation Establishment Pill can truly help cultivators open their acupoints, it can save a lot of cultivation time!
These past few days, Zhang Yuan has been going to the back mountain every day. One reason is to practice the Vajra Longevity Technique there, and the other is to check if the Foundation Building Pill hidden in the rock cave is still there and if there have been any changes.
Over the course of several days, the Foundation Establishment Pill absorbed more spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making it look even more divine. Not only did its color become deeper, but the spiritual energy it emitted also became increasingly concentrated.
...
The countdown to the freshman basketball tournament of the School of Arts and Philosophy has begun.
That afternoon, all the boys in Chinese Class 1, organized by class monitor Ma Jianhua and Youth League secretary Chu Mengyao, came to the basketball court to select members for the class basketball team in preparation for the college freshman competition.
There are 18 boys and 28 girls in Chinese class 1, with more girls than boys.
Of the 18 boys, only a few were truly skilled at basketball. Xie Feng was one, followed by class monitor Ma Jianhua and Wang Meng, who were also quite good. The rest, like Zhugan, Feibo, and Xu Lang, had only played basketball before.
If Xie Feng, Jianhua, and Wang Meng belong to the first tier of the class, and Zhugan and Feibo, who have played basketball games and whose skills are barely passable, can be classified as the second tier, then Zhang Yuan, who has touched a basketball but has never played a proper basketball game, can only belong to the third tier.
All 18 boys came to the playground, and about ten of them knew how to play basketball, so they all showed off their skills.
The boys who belonged to the third tier and didn't know how to play instantly became low-key, either standing blankly outside the basketball court or clumsily dribbling the basketball.
Many girls in the class came over to watch.
Girls of this age also love watching boys play basketball. If a boy has good basketball skills and makes a great shot, it will elicit cheers from the girls.
Especially Xie Feng, a handsome boy who is also good at basketball, is the focus of attention for the girls in the class.
Every time Xie Feng scored a goal with style, it would elicit screams from the girls in the class.
Other boys in the class were also trying their best to attract the attention of the girls, either by shooting hoops or grabbing rebounds to show off their skills.
Zhang Yuan, this idiot, doesn't actually know how to play basketball, and he's not very clear about the rules, but he does want to participate in basketball games.
It wasn't to attract the attention of the girls in my class, but because if I could participate in the competition and place in the college basketball tournament, I would have a chance to win a share of the prize money!
Among the boys in the class, Xie Feng's basketball skills were undoubtedly the best.
He excels at everything: ball handling, rebounding, layups, and outside shooting. No wonder he came from a former high school team.
Zhang Yuan watched from the outside for a while, observing Xie Feng, Ma Jianhua, and others as they grabbed rebounds, shot, and dribbled, before also sneaking into the paint.
After his health improved, Zhang Yuan gained more confidence in himself and was no longer as timid as before.
A basketball bounced off the rim and landed right on Zhang Yuan's head. Zhang Yuan jumped lightly, caught the basketball, and then dribbled like Xie Feng.
I dribbled it twice, and the basketball just ran away by itself!
Zhang Yuan looked embarrassed and quickly chased after him to retrieve the ball.
The boys and girls in the class burst into laughter when they saw this.
"Zhang Yuan is terrible at basketball; he can't even dribble properly!"
"yes!"
"Maybe they just made a mistake!"
"His movements are so clumsy, his basketball skills are definitely lacking!"
After retrieving the basketball, Zhang Yuan walked to the basket with a dark expression, stood outside the free-throw line, raised the basketball to shoot, and threw it with both hands after aiming at it.
The basketball arced through the air and slammed into the backboard!
Bang!
Because of excessive force, the basketball bounced off the backboard after hitting it!
\"Depend on!
Too much force!
Zhang Yuan muttered to himself.
"I told you, he definitely can't play basketball! Now you believe me!"
...
Zhang Yuan had keen senses and heard the discussions inside and outside the venue very clearly, which made him blush with embarrassment.
The basketball bounced forcefully after being thrown, and it bounced right back towards Zhang Yuan.
Xie Feng and Wang Meng both stood next to Zhang Yuan.
Xie Feng is a tall man of 1.8 meters. Wang Meng is not as tall as Xie Feng but is stronger. The two of them jumped up at the same time to compete for the rebound.
Xie Feng jumped first, his right fingers touching the basketball. Just as Xie Feng was about to grab the basketball, a dark figure suddenly appeared. His outstretched hands were a hand's length taller than Xie Feng and Wang Meng's. Those big hands firmly held the basketball and snatched it from Xie Feng and Wang Meng's hands.
After Xie Feng and Wang Meng landed, they looked at the person who had grabbed the rebound, and it turned out to be Zhang Yuan!
"What incredible jumping ability!"
"How could he jump so high!"
...
Although Zhang Yuan grabbed a nice rebound, his classmates didn't care, since Zhang Yuan's basketball skills were too poor, he was only good at jumping.
Therefore, no one paid attention to Zhang Yuan.
Everyone focused their attention on Xie Feng, Ma Jianhua, and Wang Meng.
After a brief warm-up.
Ma Jianhua suggested dividing the boys into two teams for sparring training, then selecting five skilled boys as the main force of the class, while the others would serve as substitutes.
The teams were quickly divided.
Xie Feng, Fei Bo, Wang Meng, Xu Lang and others formed a group of five.
Ma Jianhua, Zhang Yuan, Zhugan, and others formed a group.
Then the intra-class sparring match began.
Wang Meng and Ma Jianhua compete for the ball.
Wang Meng was a bit taller than Ma Jianhua and got to the ball first. The ball flew towards his team's side, and Xie Feng, quick-witted and agile, suddenly rushed forward. After getting the ball, he confidently raised his left hand and extended one index finger.
Then he dribbled forward quickly, breaking through two players in succession, and came to the three-point line of Zhang Yuan's team, where he made a beautiful impromptu jump shot.
The basketball traced a beautiful arc and swooshed into the basket.
Hollow sphere!
"Xie Feng is so handsome!"
"Go Xie Feng!"
The girls in the class shouted almost simultaneously.
Don't be discouraged, it's our turn to attack!
Ma Jianhua encouraged the team members, then served the ball, passing it to Zhugan.
Zhu Gan took the ball and dribbled it into Xie Feng's team. He looked up to find his teammates and was just about to pass the ball when Xie Feng suddenly appeared out of nowhere and snatched the basketball from Zhu Gan's hands with lightning speed!
Xie Feng's basketball skills are indeed good. He rushed across the half-court in a few moves, then dribbled past two other boys in the class, and easily scored two points with a layup!
There was an uproar outside the stadium.
"Go Xie Feng!"
"He plays basketball so well!"
The opponent scored two goals right at the start of the game, and squad leader Ma Jianhua was not willing to accept it!
This time, he let the bamboo pole serve and personally organized the attack!
After receiving the ball, Ma Jianhua dribbled past two players, rushed to the basket, and attempted a layup, but the ball missed.
Under the basket, Wang Meng and Xu Lang were vying for position and rebounding. Both of them were tall and strong, and Zhang Yuan was squeezed out. Wang Meng was the first to jump up and grab the rebound. Just as he was about to get the ball, Zhang Yuan suddenly jumped up from the spot, and his big hands reached out first and snatched the ball away!
Zhang Yuan held a basketball and stood under the basket.
This rebound surprised everyone.
"He jumped so high!"
"Yes, he's a head taller than Wang Meng!"
The students started discussing it!
Ma Jianhua: "Zhang Yuan, well done!"
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly, but after getting the ball, he didn't know what to do. Ma Jianhua knew that Zhang Yuan was a novice, so he took the initiative to go up and support him.
Ma Jianhua is the best player on Zhang Yuan's team. After receiving the ball, Ma Jianhua chooses to shoot immediately.
Whoosh, the ball goes in.
2 points!
Next, it was Xie Feng's team's turn to attack.
Ma Jianhua walked over to Zhang Yuan and said, "Zhang Yuan, you have a great jumping ability. Go inside and grab rebounds. If Xie Feng drives in to shoot, dunk on him. Don't let him shoot!"
\"OK!\"
Zhang Yuandao.
