Chapter 174 Outrageous Memory
The referee on the scene was a temporary staff member from Building 5 who was familiar with the basketball team. This was originally just an ordinary competition between classmates, but after "Old Cat" was injured, it was upgraded to a revenge match.
The wounded 'Old Cat' sat in the corner, watching the scene with burning eyes.
Most of the four quarters have passed, and this is the second half of the third quarter. The first two games have been won and lost, with the total score of 31 to 28. Our side is temporarily behind, but the score difference is not big, and there is still a chance to make up the score.
With three minutes left in the third quarter, Qiu Huoming replaced 'Old Cat' as the new shooting guard.
Shooting guards have very high requirements for shooting accuracy, especially the stability of three-pointers.
Qiu Huoming's eyes were focused on the ball's movement. He could hardly suppress his inner joy. His muscle memory was so terrifying that he could clearly remember the angle and error of the last pitch...
The more tense the game is, the more stable the memory will be.
The point guard 'Shorty' had just passed the ball to him. Since he couldn't pass it to his teammates, he tried to shoot a three-pointer. The ball hit the basket and bounced out. It was grabbed by 'Black Tower'. After the ball was passed, Huang Youmin took advantage of the opponent's blocking of the basket to pass the basketball to Qiu Huoming again...
Huang Youmin's transfer this time was intentional. He wanted to take this opportunity to train Qiu Huoming and see if he could be competent for the role of his teammate.
Almost the same movement, the same location, Qiu Huoming pushed hard with his feet, jumped up, exerted force with his wrist, slightly adjusted the angle, and with the same force, the ball flew towards the basket...
The old cat raised his head and looked intently at the trajectory of the basketball in the air, his right hand clenched tightly.
Almost instantly, he shouted, "Good shot!"
Qiu Huoming watched as the basketball passed through the basket very smoothly, barely touching the edge...
"Good shot!" Huang Youmin smiled for the first time.
Black Tower and Tiger quickly moved to the other side's inner court. Shorty passed by Qiu Huoming and shouted, "Good job!"
The score instantly became 31 to 31... tied.
Tan Jialiang glanced at Qiu Huoming. This man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. There were so many students in the school, so it was normal that he didn't remember.
"Not bad." He praised.
This was a common practice he used to demonstrate his broad-mindedness. In the past, he had recruited many talents by this method.
Qiu Huoming pursed his lips and said nothing.
In this game, the opponent controlled the ball and after a while, they scored 2 points.
"Time's up! Rest for two minutes..." The referee looked at his watch and shouted.
The live score was back to 33 to 31.
Huang Youmin shook the kettle, and a slight sound of water came from it. "Damn, the water is almost gone." He handed the kettle to Qiu Huoming, "Just one sip, it's yours..."
Qiu Huoming shook his head, "I'm not thirsty, you guys drink."
He really disliked it, and he wasn't being polite. This pot mouth had been touched by these old men, and he hadn't had his first kiss yet, so he couldn't let it fail here...
The water in the kettle was drunk by Black Tower. He was a little exhausted today. Everyone propped up their legs and rested on the spot...
"Fortunately, the score is close. One more three-pointer will close the gap... I think they are more panicked than us..." said Shorty, the team's think tank.
Qiu Huoming nodded, "If I were in that position or a little off, you could pass the ball to me and I'd try a three-pointer..."
"That makes sense. They are very familiar with us and have tight defense, but they don't know Xiao Qiu and are not on guard against him enough. This is an opportunity." Shorty agreed.
"Okay, let's do this for the first half, and then we'll rearrange the tactics depending on the situation. Everyone should adapt to the situation..." Huang Youmin made the decision.
On the balcony on the third floor, Jiamin and her group of three were still watching the game. "That tall guy in the blue sportswear is so handsome. His skin is whiter than mine..." Ji Songxiang said, touching her face.
"Compared to Senior Brother Tan, I'm still a little bit behind." Shan Fang retorted.
"No way, you see, he is taller than him, he looks very impressive, and Senior Brother Tan is also good-looking... well, how should I put it, he's just a little petty..." Ji Songxiang finally found a suitable word to describe him.
Jiamin listened to the argument between her two roommates and thought about it. She did not discuss appearance, but talked about technical issues. "The three-point shot just now was almost at the same angle..." she analyzed calmly.
"I watched his previous pitches, and he improved almost every time he did it again..." She sighed, "Just this level of comprehension is terrifying."
"I didn't notice that. I like to watch him jump. He jumps really high..." Ji Songxiang exclaimed.
Shan Fang laughed, "Next time, when we get to know Senior Brother Tan better, let him take us to play basketball..."
"Why do we need someone else to lead us? We can go and play by ourselves." Jiamin said.
"It would be so embarrassing for a girl to play basketball without anyone to lead her..." Shan Fang explained.
"It's just exercise, why are you embarrassed?" Jiamin was speechless.
Ji Songxiang started shouting, "It's started, it's started, tell me, what's the score between the two teams now?"
Jiamin shifted her gaze over there. She had not watched the previous match. "If it was just now, then the score would be 3 to 2, with each side scoring a goal..."
"Brother Tan will definitely win. He scored so many goals by himself earlier." Shan Fang didn't know anything about basketball and was just there to watch the fun.
On the basketball court, the fourth quarter of the game has begun.
The one who was in control of the ball now was 'Black Tower'. As a center forward, his physical fitness was the best among the five players. He rushed left and right, and made a fake move before passing the ball to 'Tiger'. 'Tiger' shot without hesitation, and the ball was knocked down in mid-air...
The 'dwarf' quickly returned to defense, and Qiu Huoming followed him...
Perhaps because the score was too close, the other team also became nervous. In this round, they also made a mistake, and the ball was intercepted by Huang Youmin under the basket...
The captain of the other team cursed and quickly followed.
Huang Youmin faked a move and threw the ball backhand, "Xiao Qiu!"
Qiu Huoming quickly received the pass, dribbled past the opponent's defender, and jumped lightly outside the three-point line...
Ji Songxiang on the third-floor balcony clenched his fists involuntarily.
"Goal?" She exclaimed in surprise, "Another goal..."
Jiamin smiled slightly, "This is called a three-point shot, it's the highest score..."
Qiu Huoming on the court was like a precise machine, and he made another three-pointer from almost the same position.
The score on the scene suddenly reversed and became 33 to 34... Huang Youmin's team temporarily took the lead.
As the score was reversed, the atmosphere on the scene became more tense, and the quarrel began to escalate. The referee spoke up, "It's just a friendly match, so please restrain yourself..."
From then on, Qiu Huoming seemed to be on a roll. Every time the opponent scored a two-point shot, he would turn it into a three-point shot, further widening the score.
In the second half, Qiu Huoming was targeted by two players from the opposing team...
Huang Youmin and his men began to change their tactics...
The fourth quarter is finally here...
"Game over!" the referee shouted.
He smiled and said, "This game was very exciting..." He pointed at Huang Youmin and the others and said, "You won. Take your team members to the infirmary."
He said 'old cat'.
'Black Tower' clenched his fists. The score exceeded 6 points. This was a rare victory. Although it was not a formal match, as the opponent was their old rival, this victory was a great boost to morale.
The captain of the other team smiled and said, "It's just a friendly match, so it's okay for us to give in. We'll see in October..."
Tan Jialiang walked up to Qiu Huoming and said, "You play basketball well. What's your name? Are you interested in joining our team? I'm from the student union, and my name is Tan Jialiang..."
Qiu Huoming smiled. His clothes were already wet. Once he stopped exercising, his arms and legs became sore, but he was in a very good mood. Who doesn’t like to win?
"My name is Qiu Huoming, and I'm not interested in joining your team..."
After saying that, Qiu Huoming looked at Huang Youmin who was a little nervous beside him.
"Hey! Good job! Let's go and send 'Old Cat' to the infirmary..." Huang Youmin got what he wanted and smiled with wrinkles on the corners of his eyes.
He slapped Qiu Huoming on the shoulder. Qiu Huoming tilted his body and said with a grin, "Gently, gently, I'm not a basketball."
They laughed and helped the "old cat" up from the ground and walked towards the infirmary.
On the basketball court, the captain, who was still standing there, looked at Tan Jialiang. The captain raised his lips and said, "I have never seen this person before. He must be a freshman. He probably doesn't understand who has the final say here. Take your time, and he will find out..."
"Let's go, let's go back and take a shower, we're all sweaty." He turned around first, and a group of people followed him out of the basketball court.
On the balcony on the third floor, Jiamin withdrew her gaze and walked into the dormitory.
"I'm going to make some tea, would you like some?" she asked as she walked.
"Yes, my father often makes tea at home. What's the name of your tea..." Ji Songxiang followed.
Shan Fang on the other side sighed, "Senior Brother Tan must be in a bad mood..."
Ji Songxiang paused, shook her head, and dragged her chair to Jiamin's desk.
A set of small purple clay teapots was placed on the table. Jiamin took the thermos bottle she had just brought back in the afternoon and began to wash, brew, and divide the tea...
“This is the most common ‘Zhengshan Xiaozhong’, but it tastes first-rate…”
People from some places in Guangdong are very fond of "Kung Fu Tea". There are fewer drinks these days, and "Kung Fu Tea" has a rich taste and the tea soup is full of fragrance. Drinking a cup of tea while chatting not only quenches thirst, but also is pleasing to the eye.
She also lived with an elderly person before. As the elderly person was old, she had to do many things for him, so she learned how to do it.
After the tea was brewed, Shan Fang also took a cup and drank it slowly in small sips.
This set of tea set was discarded by her aunt and was placed in the dormitory by Jiamin.
Among the three people in the dormitory, Shan Fang is the oldest, almost 20 years old. Ji Songxiang and Jiamin are about the same age, both 18 years old. Since they are of similar age, they have a lot of common topics.
Ji Songxiang touched her belly, looked at the tall Jiamin, and couldn't help but said, "How about you ask me to go running with you tomorrow?"
"Sure, as long as you can get up..."
"Don't worry, I can definitely do it!"
Shan Fang took out the new textbooks for this semester and started flipping through them. "Who do you think will be the freshman representative for this year's opening ceremony on Monday?"
Jiamin shook her head. "It's not me anyway. I didn't do well in the college entrance examination. I should look for the one with the highest score..."
Ji Songxiang said: "Not necessarily. The senior who sent me here said that freshman representatives should be able to speak and not be stage-frightened."
"Fourth sister? A girl is called senior?" Jiamin asked.
Ji Songxiang raised the corner of her mouth, "Male! Hahahaha, when I first heard this name, I was confused, but later I got used to it and it was quite interesting..."
There was laughter in the dormitory.
In the infirmary, the doctor examined "Old Cat" and found that his knee was just an external injury without any broken bones. He applied some medicine and sent him away.
Qiu Huoming was covered in sweat. Seeing that Lao Mao was fine, he left first. Huang Youmin was in the same building with him, and they walked back together.
Qiu Huoming calculated the time. Tomorrow is Sunday, and he has to go to the editorial office of "Wulin" to meet with Teacher Zhang.
It seems that he has become particularly busy since arriving in Guangzhou.
While taking a shower, he fell into deep thought. This basketball game was an emergency, so he should try to keep a low profile in the future.
In the future, I will definitely have to focus on my studies while making money reasonably.
At this moment, the processing factories in the south have become very advanced, driven by the technology and capital of the port city, but he has no chance to get to know those people. As for these factories, he still has the impression of those factories he saw in Wucheng County.
The most urgent task is to establish oneself in this school first, find an opportunity to publish relevant papers, and improve one's academic status. Even if someone wants to mess with you in the future, you must be cautious.
In short, everything at the moment needs to be done slowly...
There is no use in being anxious. After all, there will be a nationwide crackdown next year. Being locked up is a small matter, but eating peanuts is a big deal.
People have not yet realized the situation, so it would be better to just stay calm and develop over the next two years.
We will be able to take off by the end of next year. During this year and a half, we will build up our network.
He gradually sorted out his thoughts and had clearer plans for the future. The feeling of unease just now gradually subsided.
"Fuck, you haven't finished washing yet. Did you get your white skin by washing?" Huang Youmin shouted outside the shower partition, holding a basin with wet hair.
In such a short while, he had even finished wringing the clothes.
"You should ask your ancestors. It's called heredity..." Qiu Huoming quickly turned off the shower and replied while wiping his body.
"I'll treat you to a drink later. I'm leaving..." Huang Youmin covered his head with a towel and walked out quickly.
When Qiu Huoming finished everything and returned to the dormitory, someone was already waiting for him.
"Teacher Xu! Why are you here?" Qiu Huoming asked when he saw Teacher Xu sitting next to his desk and chatting with Chen Xi.
Wen Yuanyi and Yang Shijun are not in the dormitory. They are probably out hanging out.
"Waiting for you, come and sit down." Teacher Xu waved.
Qiu Huoming sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him.
Teacher Xu cleared his throat and said, "Write a manuscript and speak on behalf of the freshmen. The time limit is 3 minutes..."
