I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

“Not open to the public~”

Of course it was Ma Siyu who spoke. Because the county basketball game has been postponed and they don’t know when it will be held, they still have to continue practicing.

For a moment, Yang Jia and Zhou Kang were stunned.

I’ve been shopping all day and I’ve never seen such a cute girl!

Zhang Chao smiled slightly and said: "That's right, we are from No. 1 Middle School..."

"oh."

"That is, can you... be accommodating? We also want to play ball together."

"no."

Zhou Kang said from the side: "Classmate, we are from No. 1 Middle School..."

Ma Siyu frowned: "From No. 1 Middle School, from No. 1 Middle School, I know, I know, you are from No. 1 Middle School. But this place is not open to the public yet, and it has not been decorated yet." It doesn't matter which middle school you go to.

Yang Jia said: "But there are obviously people inside."

Ma Siyu said: "There are people, there are people..."

"Then why can't we be allowed in?" Gantian asked.

Ma Siyu looked Gantian up and down. Strictly speaking, Gantian was not a very beautiful girl. She had short hair, but her skin was very white. This could almost be used as a distinguishing mark between people who grew up in the provincial capital and the county town.

"I told you no."

Sweet's stubborn temper came up. Many, many times, she is a happy-go-lucky person. For example, she can tolerate the school's cafeteria, bathing facilities, and bathrooms... But when she feels that something does not make sense, even ten cows can't pull it off if she is stubborn. moveable. For example, at this time, she felt that the other party had no reason not to let them in.

If the other party is a teacher, the sentence "not open to the public" may be more authoritative, but the other party is clearly a girl wearing a school uniform. Why can she dominate this arena?

Gantian said: "Which teacher has the final say? Let's go talk to that teacher."

Ma Siyu frowned: "I told you no. Don't you understand?"

Gan Tian was even more angry... After coming to this school, as long as he showed his identity as an exchange student in No. 1 Middle School, he never hit a wall. In this school, it seems that "Being in No. 1 Middle School" has become a special pass, a privilege card, which can be used to any disadvantage. This is the first time when it fails... At this time, it is no longer a question of whether you can go in and play ball. Other aspects are involved...

Just as he was about to speak, Gan Tian was held down by Zhang Chao's shoulders.

Zhang Chao said with a smile: "There are classmates playing ball inside, right?"

Ma Siyu said: "No."

The sound of basketball "bang bang bang..."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Ma Siyu said: "Okay, yes. We are training, but this arena is not open to the public yet. You can't go in anyway."

At this moment, Yi Yang in the arena noticed that Ma Siyu had not sent the people outside away, so he dropped the ball and said to Zhao Qiang and Qiu Guoran: "I'll go over and take a look."

"What's wrong?" Yi Yang walked to Ma Siyu's side.

Ma Siyu said: "They want to come in and play ball."

At this time, Gan Tian said angrily: "Why can you all go in?" Then he was slightly startled - he saw Yi Yang.

At this time, Yi Yang had just played ball, and the room was still relatively warm, so he was sweating. His hair, which was neither long nor short, was rubbed and messy due to sweat, just like a boy in a comic.

Yeah, handsome guy.

Yi Yang noticed Gan Tian's school uniform, his eyes moved slightly and said, "Let them come in."

Ma Siyu said "Oh..." somewhat unhappily.

Gantian felt a little happy, because it seemed that this handsome guy said "let them in" after seeing him... It was hard not to feel happy.

Zhang Chao noticed Yi Yang's way of speaking and Ma Siyu's attitude towards him, and his heart moved slightly.

This young man seemed to give people the illusion of being very mature. After thinking for a while, he was about to talk, but the other party said to himself: "This stadium has not been built yet, and the few of us...well, because the county If there is a competition, train here." This sentence is of course true when viewed separately, but it sounds like the school specially arranged for them to train in this arena because there is a competition in the county.

Sure enough, several people were distracted by Yi Yang's words.

What they were thinking about at this time was, representing the school in the county competition? These people should be sports students.

At this time, Yang Jia noticed Qiu Guoran and saw her making a layup. He was stunned and blurted out: "Are there girls?"

Yi Yang smiled and said, "Our captain."

One word popped into several people's minds... heroic.

Zhang Chao said apologetically: "I'm sorry to disturb your training."

Gan Tian also said to Yi Yang with some embarrassment: "I didn't know you were on a mission... Well, we are students of No. 1 Middle School. We have just arrived here and we don't understand some things."

Yi Yang said: "It doesn't matter." He pointed to the basketball stand over there: "If you want to play, just go over there and play. But we can't practice for long." He raised his hand and looked at Ten He held a digital watch for a few dollars and said, "About twenty minutes, we have to lock the door as soon as we leave."

Yang Jia suddenly said: "How about we play together for a while!"

He likes to play basketball very much, and he is also the main player of the basketball team in No. 1 Middle School... Naturally, he is not a sports student, but he has always been very confident in his basketball ability. When I met the student who was probably the best player in this school, I wanted to "compete" with him.

There is no malicious intent here. Although the three of them more or less have a sense of superiority from "No. 1 Middle School", this sense of superiority has not yet transformed into some kind of arrogance and domineering. Life is not a novel. Generally speaking, there are not so many scenes where you forcefully pretend to be cool and then get slapped in the face.

Yi Yang thought for a while and agreed. Today's basketball practice is almost done. But he wasn't going to do it, he just asked Zhao Qiang to play with Yang Jia for fun. Qiu Guoran also came off the court and sat next to Ma Siyu, and several others sat down on the chairs beside the court.

Watch Zhao Qiang and Yang Jia duel.

Yi Yang is willing to let a few people in, so he naturally has his considerations. He deliberately sat next to the man who looked like a teacher and casually talked about the county competition... Naturally, he omitted the original intention of forming a team, and just on this topic, he and Zhang Chao started chatting.

Zhang Chao was a little curious about Yi Yang at this time, especially listening to him talk. A person's conversation can reveal his experience. For some reason, the young man in front of him gave him the illusion of rich experience... Of course it was an illusion. He chatted with Yi Yang without revealing any trace, while mentally labeling him as "young and mature".

Gan Tian also wanted to interject, but after trying several times, she couldn't find the entry point, so she could only smile. Yi Yang also took care of her emotions. He looked at her twice, as if he was saying a few words to her. of general. Ma Siyu and Qiu Guoran were too lazy to talk. Zhou Kang took the initiative to chat with them, talking about the basketball team of No. 1 Middle School... Qiu Guoran asked, "So, can you play basketball?" I was stunned for a long time.

Then suddenly at a certain moment, Yi Yang started talking about exchange students. Speaking of this, Gantian became excited and started to introduce things about exchange students non-stop, saying that they must be at the top of the school in terms of grades, how many on-campus activities they must participate in, and various conditions to be qualified.

Yi Yang was not interested in what Gan Tian said, but he was still perfunctory. At a certain moment, he finally said, seemingly unintentionally: "By the way... If you want to go to No. 1 Middle School for exchanges, what conditions need to be met? What about No. 1 Middle School?" Did you set any conditions? Oh, I have a friend who wants to go."

"Oh...a friend wants to go?"

Gan Tian had no doubts about this. It could be seen that the handsome... classmate in front of him was probably a physical education student. Generally, physical education students were unlikely to pay attention to exchanges and studies. She didn't mean to look down on the sports students. She also knew some sports students from No. 1 Middle School, and the hard work they put in was no less than their dedicated study.

After thinking about it, Gan Tian said: "As for the grades, there must be some restrictions... After all, you still have to study in the past, and it will take a little longer for your students to go to ours. If you can't keep up with your studies, ...Well, it’s still quite painful.”

"Oh, what about the results..."

"Then, there are no special requirements. It mainly depends on your school's arrangements. No matter what the student is, as long as your school recommends it, they won't refuse."

Yi Yang nodded.

"By the way, classmate, what's your name?" Gan Tian asked.

"Yi Yang." Yi Yang looked at the basketball court. Over there, Zhao Qiang had already abused Yang Jia 9-0. The more he beat, the easier it became. At the end, Zhao Qiang said helplessly: "Are you coming again?"

Yang Jia glanced at Qiu Guoran and Ma Siyu off the court with a very depressed look...and then said stiffly: "Oh...the height difference is a bit different, so it's not easy to fight."

Zhao Qiang didn't care whether you were in the first or second grade, he said unceremoniously: "You don't have basic ball control skills, you can't shoot well, you can't defend well, brother, you are not just a little short."

Yang Jia's expression was as awkward as if he had eaten a fly, but he had no choice but to let himself be abused by Zhao Qiang. On the basketball court, talk with the ball. It was almost time here. Yi Yang stood up and said to Zhang Chao: "Teacher, we are almost going to have a rest. Look..."

How could Zhang Chao not understand what Yi Yang meant? He nodded with a smile, said a few polite words, and was ready to leave.

Gantian said: "Yi Yang, do you have a QQ account?"

Yi Yang said without even thinking: "No, not even a mobile phone."

"Ah? How could..."

"You're poor." Yi Yang smiled.

Gan Tian was stunned. Yi Yang was dressed very simply, and he really didn't look like a child from a wealthy family. In just a few seconds, he had already imagined an image of a young man from a poor family who relied on sports to change his life. However, she was a little surprised to admit that her family was poor so openly. Then she thought about those guys in No. 1 Middle School who clearly had little money in their families and were still keen on comparison, compared with this handsome guy in front of her...

Too grandiose.

At this time, Zhou Kang was also trying to strike up a conversation with Ma Siyu and ask for a QQ account... In this era without WeChat, QQ accounts were one of the few ways for teenagers to communicate.

Ma Siyu said: "I don't have QQ or a mobile phone..."

Zhou Kang was a little embarrassed: "How could..."

Ma Siyu glanced at Zhou Kang and said, "I am also...well, poor."

Yang Jia lowered his head and glanced at Ma Siyu's sneakers worth more than 500 yuan, and fell into deep thought.

…

After returning home, I did my homework and read a book as usual. Strictly speaking, there is not much knowledge in junior high school, and the homework assigned by the teacher is not too much.

The focus of study is still on English and mathematics. There is no conclusion yet on whether I should study liberal arts or science in the future. But whether it is liberal arts or science, English and mathematics are the top priorities.

It seems that I heard some news before I was reborn. In the more distant future, the proportion of English scores will decrease, the proportion of Chinese will increase, and then arts and science will gradually become independent of subjects. The specific details are not clear, but it is generally that trend. But the trend is on the one hand, and it has nothing to do with him at the moment. If nothing happens in history, when he takes the college entrance examination, he will still be tested based on 150 points in language and mathematics.

At present, my energy is actually somewhat scattered, including basketball and band matters, but it mainly takes up time for rest. The time actually spent on studying has not changed. But this does not mean that taking up rest time will not necessarily affect learning. After all, people only have so much energy. If you don’t get enough rest, your learning efficiency will probably decrease.

However, this trend has not yet emerged.

When memorizing a word, take a pencil while memorizing it, cover the word to see if you can spell it, cover the Chinese translation to see if you can explain the meaning, if you can do it, put a small check mark next to it...then erase it and try it again. . It’s just such a recurring memory. It was indeed a headache at first, but actually I can really immerse myself in doing it, and once I get used to it, it doesn’t feel that painful at all.

Very practical.

The words memorized so far are all words in the textbook. Luo Bing once said that if you haven’t memorized the vocabulary list in class, you don’t need to memorize any extra-curricular words. There are not many words in junior high school, really not many, but they are very important. These words will appear again and again until high school and even college.

Nowadays, learning English is more like a matter of course...it doesn't take much brainpower to understand, just memorize it down-to-earth and diligently, and you can get high scores. No matter how smart a person is, he or she cannot escape this learning process.

In comparison, mathematics is a bit more brain-intensive. But to really start to "understand" mathematics, junior high school mathematics is indeed as Luo Bing said, not difficult. You can't memorize the question types, but you still have to try to understand the meaning of those mathematical concepts. Then the exciting thing is that I also finished self-study of mathematics in the first semester of the second grade of junior high school, started to self-study the knowledge of the next semester, and tried to solve the questions.

For Yi Yang, tonight is just an ordinary night.

…

time flies.

In my impression, it did snow a lot in 2008. This probably also reflects the fact that the wheel of history is rolling forward. Even if he jumps to a position ahead, he cannot change the overall direction of history.

After several days of heavy snowfall, the Culture and Sports Bureau had to think about changing a venue to host the next basketball finals.

All in all, there is currently only one indoor basketball stadium in the county, which is privately owned. But this is not a big problem. Whether it is a private or public basketball court, it is a county event after all. There is no problem in borrowing or renting it for a day or two. The only problem is that there are too many age groups, so the finals have to decide the championship team among many age groups.

To be precise, the championship team, the runner-up team and the third-place team.

This means that even if there are only four teams in each age group, there are still many games played, and one stadium will naturally not be enough. Someone suggested that if it doesn’t work, just split it into two days. This suggestion naturally won the support of most people... There is no other way. But I don’t know where someone got the news that Qinghe Junior High School has an indoor court, so someone suggested that some games should be held in Qinghe Junior High School...

Probably, there was some communication between the Culture and Sports Bureau, Qinghe Junior High School and Ma Dongxi. In short, it didn't take long for Yiyang and the others to receive the news that the finals of several age groups under 18 were arranged at Qinghe Junior High School. .

And the time happened to be the night before the cultural performance and knowledge competition.

…

A little before the start of the basketball game, there was a little episode.

Director Wu was chatting with several teachers in the working group, and happened to talk about sports students.

Director Wu said: "The main task of the working group this time is to conduct a survey in Qinghe Junior High School. Survey and research means investigation and research. What is investigated is the comprehensive situation of Qinghe Junior High School in terms of learning, culture, hardware, software, etc., and What we are studying is the possibility of cooperation with Qinghe County Middle School in various fields."

"On the one hand, distance education must be connected. This is not only related to income, but also a political task of the provincial education department. But in addition to the system construction of distance education, we also come with a task..." To put it bluntly, I hope to find some complementary advantages in Qinghe Junior High School."

"To a certain extent, good students and good schools complement each other. On the one hand, the software and hardware conditions of good schools help good students to reach a higher level in life. On the other hand, the admission rate of good students also contributes to the success of good schools. It’s a great addition to our reputation.”

After a pause, Director Wu said, "A good student does not necessarily only mean a student who is good at studying."

If prestigious universities are used as a criterion, the way to enter a prestigious university is not just a cultural one.

"I have learned that although Qinghe County is not a big place, it is rich in high-quality athletes, CBA athletes, and even track and field athletes who won gold medals in the Universiade. And the athletes who came out of the two high schools in Qinghe No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School There are also many trainees who have entered top universities such as Tsinghua and Fudan through high-level athletes."

"To be honest, everyone knows that the admission rate of sports students in our No. 1 Middle School has not been that outstanding."

Sighing, Director Wu said: "Over the years, our No. 1 Middle School has also begun to move towards the path of focusing on both culture and sports. We hope to build a middle school similar to Beijing No. 4 Middle School that is top-notch in culture and sports. So, is it right? In terms of sports, too Can we establish some kind of cooperation mechanism for the delivery of cultural and sports talents with junior high schools in some strong sports counties?"

Of course, we need to take another look at this.

Director Wu thought that the current basketball game seemed to be a window to see the leopard.
