Dad, Please Try a Little Harder

  Chapter 29 I play the school team!

Saturday.

  The Guangming Town Middle School staff basketball game was held as scheduled.

  A total of 16 teachers participated in the competition, divided into two teams, one called "examination team" and one called "100% team" (it means a team), each team has 8 people, that is, 5 starters and 3 substitutes.

  All participating teachers combed their hair to look young, put on handsome basketball outfits, and waited for the game. They must be more brilliant than imagined!

  The game is divided into four quarters, each 10 minutes.

   In order to show fairness, the school specially invited two certified professional referees to enforce the game.

   At two o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially started.

  This kind of non-professional basketball game, it is impossible to say how intense and exciting it is. There will be neither a dunk scene that blows up the whole court, nor a fancy performance.

  However, in competitive sports, there are alternating scores and wins and losses, which will stimulate the secretion of hormones, especially for players and spectators who are on the scene.

   In the first quarter, Qian Wenlin's team led by 2 points. Qian Wenlin himself had 0 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Three minutes later, the second quarter began. The 100% team replaced a substitute and played bravely. He led the team to overtake by 5 points in the second quarter. Qian Wenlin played for 5 minutes in this quarter, grabbed 2 rebounds, blocked Shot a block and made a three-pointer.

  Intermission for 10 minutes.

  The players and coaches of the two teams got together to discuss tactics, and everyone expressed their opinions, and finally decided on the tactic of "just play, don't be cowardly".

   In the third quarter, Qian Wenlin continued to start the game. In this quarter, he performed outstandingly, scoring 6 points and 2 rebounds, leading the team to tie with the 100% team. With a slight smile, he has won the trust of the coach and teammates.

  In the fourth quarter, the atmosphere on the scene became obviously tense. The cheers from the audience were louder and denser, and the confrontation on the field became more intense and fierce. The warmth among colleagues had disappeared.

  With one and a half minutes left in the game, the starting forward (PE teacher) of the 100% team hit a 3-pointer and rewritten the score as:

  59:58!

   Lead by one point.

   Neither team scored in the next two rounds.

  As the game time draws to a close, the atmosphere on the court is gradually depressing.

  Finally in the third round, Qian Wenlin assisted his teammate under the basket, and the opponent made an unpretentious layup to overtake the score again.

  59:60!

   It was too late to celebrate, everyone was staring at their own people.

  The time also entered the last 40 seconds.

  100% of the team holds the ball, the whole team presses the ball tightly and does not give them a chance to shoot.

  Time is disappearing second by second.

  Attack time is about to run out.

   At this moment, the physical education teacher who just made a three-pointer suddenly broke away from Qian Wenlin's marking, ran a short three-pointer, and let out a loud "hey".

  The teammate passes the ball in time.

  He shoots quickly.

   Hit!

  62:60!

   There was a burst of violent cheers at the scene.

  The physical education teacher's wife is an English teacher. She was also present today. Seeing her husband so brave, she blushed with laughter.

   There were also many audience members congratulating her.

   There are 17 seconds left in the game.

  The whole team called a timeout for the exam and arranged tactics.

   The timeout is over, and the players from both sides return to the field.

  Test the No. 11 center forward of the team to serve.

  Other players are actively running, especially the No. 5 guard who scored the highest score in the team in the test today, shouting "here" while running, attracting the attention of the defensive players.

  No. 11 stared at No. 5, as if he was looking for a suitable opportunity to send the ball to him, just when No. 5 barely ran out of an empty area to catch the ball.

  No. 11 calmly throws the ball to the bottom corner.

  Qian Wenlin stood there.

   was missed!

   After receiving the ball, Qian Wenlin made a slight adjustment and shot without hesitation.

"Eh!!"

   Someone screamed.

  If in the anime, the ball would fly in the air for a whole episode, then Qian Wenlin would start recalling his fate with basketball since he was 6 years old.

  But in reality, after the ball drew a perfect arc in the air, it fell steadily into the net.

  62:63!

  The most beautiful is not the rainy day, but Qian Wenlin's three-point sword!

   1 second left.

   The 100% team has not given up yet, they have arranged the last tactic.

  However, as soon as the ball was sent, the time ran out, but the referee didn't blow the whistle, giving them the last chance to take a shot.

  The physical education teacher made a hasty shot, and the basketball missed the basket.

   did not continue to work miracles.

   "Shhh—"

  The whistle sounded and the game ended.

   The team won the exam by one point!

  Qian Wenlin completed the lore.

  In competitive sports, "lore" is definitely the most beautiful word!

  The audience gave him the loudest applause.

  Everywhere you look, there are praises and applause.

   It is a little regretful that his wife and son did not come to the scene today and were unable to witness this moment on the spot.

   I had to tell them later.

  Of course he didn’t know. At this moment, his son Qian Quan, who was thousands of miles away, got the news at the same time when their match ended:

  【Ding, the system has detected that your father made a game-winning shot in the school basketball game, and rewards you for your professional basketball skills! 】

  On Fudan’s basketball court, Qian Quan, who was sitting side by side with Ding Linlang, was stunned and said nothing. Various basketball images were flashing through his mind, such as dribbling, breakthroughs, jump shots, steals, back shots...

  The pictures of him playing on the court before flashed through his mind like animated silhouettes, frozen, re-upgraded, standardized, and disappeared in his mind-accurately absorbed and stored by the brain.

   "Have you thought about it?"

  Ding Linlang's voice brought him back to reality.

"Um."

  Qian Quan nodded, his gaze remained on the court, but he suddenly noticed that the movements of the students on the court became very clumsy, their speed became very slow, and their skills became very rough...

   It’s like watching elementary school students do math problems after finishing high school (1-3 grades, non-Olympiad math problems, author’s note).

  He knew in his heart that those players were still playing, but his vision had changed.

   "What I thought of was such a picture," Qian Quan looked at Ding Linlang, "After the heroine interrupted the overpass, she stood proudly on the clouds and shouted to the sky: 'From now on, I will teach the gods in the sky not to descend to the earth!'"

  Ding Linlang heard the words, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, this sentence is okay, very domineering, in line with the heroine's personality."

   "Must!" Qian Quan was not without pride, thinking that I am the iron-blooded administrator of your readership, needless to say you are a loyal old book fan.

   "So, did the heroine finally choose her childhood sweetheart's junior?" Qian Quan asked.

  Ding Linlang looked away, and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

  At this time, a tall boy came over to Qian Quan and said, "Brother, are you playing basketball? We need someone?"

   "Uh, yes." Qian Quan's hands were itchy.

  Ding Linlang reminded: "Are you sure to fight? They look like the school team."

  Qian Quan glanced at the five men, each measuring 1.81m and 9. Qian Quan, who was wearing basketball shoes, was standing among them, and he was only of medium height.

but…

School team?

   I play the school team!

   Now it’s a professional team, and I can still play.

   "Give them a head." Qian Quan said with a smile.
