I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

If you choose basketball, you have to give up some of the things you are doing.

Naturally, it is impossible to give up all competition matters.

He still couldn't understand the math competition very well. After several simulation competition questions, he was finally stubborn enough to understand some of the questions. However, there were some guys in the class who were able to get perfect scores. As expected, the competition between people was infuriating. These people couldn't show up. After an accident, you can enter the competition class.

After such a period of suffering, I have decided that there is no way out in mathematics competitions. I still have not given up. I just think that studying mathematics competitions will be helpful for college entrance examination mathematics. But if I want to give up, it is not a difficult decision.

As for the physics competition, it doesn't matter if you give up. I just listened out of interest.

Biology has been discussed a long time ago.

The only thing left is chemistry, which I can understand, and it seems that I can still make some achievements in it. This is something I must not give up.

In the National High School League, Yi Yang only plans to participate in this session. No matter what the result is, he will have to devote himself to intense study after the end. The general college entrance examination subject is one way, and the subject competition cannot be completely given up. He will start participating in the second year of high school. In some competitions, if you are lucky, you can get a provincial ranking and interview with some prestigious schools. This is also a feasible path at present.

Therefore, the path of chemical competition must be left behind.

So after thinking about it, in order to make time for the basketball competition, several subject competitions that were just for fun have to be abandoned, and at the same time...

debate competition!

The debate competition was originally a spice for Yi Yang to enrich his after-school life. Although it also has the meaning of increasing logical eloquence, in a deeper sense, it is just a sideways pastime with the lowest value, so this should be given up.

It took about ten minutes for Yi Yang to figure these things out, and then called Xing Yingdan.

"What, you're quitting the debate team!"

In the dormitory, Yi Yang, who originally had a calm expression, was a little surprised after Xing Yingdan had such a big reaction.

Yi Yang said: "I'm really sorry, because there are more important things and there are conflicts in time, so I have to give up this."

Xing Yingdan on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said in an unusually cold tone: "I understand, this is indeed your freedom, and I respect your decision." Then he hung up the phone.

Yi Yang showed a wry smile and thought about it carefully, it was indeed unreasonable for him to leave like this, because once he left, they would have to find someone else for the next week's game.

But then I thought about it. In fact, this has always been the norm in high school debate clubs. At this stage of high school, very few people have the enthusiasm of Xing Yingdan and can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the debate competition. People come and go. Although it is a bit ruthless, it is reasonable. , Yi Yang quickly adjusted his mentality and no longer caused himself any trouble.

Then Yi Yang went to find Gao Runxiang and accepted his invitation in person. It could be seen that Gao Runxiang was very happy. Next, some preparatory work for joining the basketball team will begin, such as registering athlete information and filling out the registration form. Although Gao Runxiang was a physical education teacher, he handled the matter very efficiently, and then asked Yi Yang to go back and wait for news.

The arrangements for the next period of time are clearly clarified.

After the main class, there is a chemistry competition tutoring class every Monday, and classes will be held on this day.

From Tuesday to Friday, after the main class every day, there is two hours of training time. Compared with physical education students, sometimes they will practice for an additional hour at noon. The specific time will be notified in detail.

The rest of the main classes, evening self-study, and morning self-study times are as usual, basically not taking up any cultural class time.

This arrangement already makes Yi Yang very satisfied.

After handling all these matters properly, Yi Yang returned to the dormitory to rest for a while. When it was time to go to evening study, he received a call from Luo Bing.

I have always kept in touch with Luo Bing.

As they grow older, the relationship between the people they were good friends with at the beginning actually gets better and better. Needless to say, Zhang Bushou and Zhao Qiang, Luo Bing did not cut off contact with Yi Yang because of the new environment, and often called each other to talk about their current situation. .

Only people with similar cognitive abilities can have common topics. Otherwise, one party will inevitably be tolerant of the other, and the person with the upper hand will definitely get bored after a long time.

In terms of competition, of course, Yi Yang consults Luo Bing more, but this is just professional ability. It does not mean that Luo Bing's cognitive ability is necessarily higher than Yi Yang. He also admires Yi Yang.

A reborn person, even if he did very poorly in his previous life, has experienced the trend of the times after all. Occasionally, he will subconsciously mention one or two development trends that are ahead of the current times, which will make those who are ahead of the times, but have People who are not that old are amazed. When Luo Bing interacts with Yi Yang, he has always felt this way since he was a junior high school student. As his cognitive ability increases, that feeling becomes stronger...

Sometimes, he would even wonder if Yi Yang came from the future.

Talking about the competition at this time, Luo Bing said: "I just started studying in high school. I haven't learned many serious courses yet. It's normal that I can't understand it. But I think it's quite good that you chose chemistry as your main subject." The right choice."

Yi Yang sighed: "I can barely keep up with chemistry now, and I have simply given up on other subjects."

"Give up?" Luo Bing's tone was obviously surprised.

Yi Yang said "hmm" and then started talking about the basketball game. Luo Bing, who was on the other end of the phone, listened for a while and was a little surprised. He said, "You, who have not received professional training, can be invited by the coach. It's really amazing." so amazing."

Yi Yang laughed and said, "This is nothing. I heard our class teacher say that there was a big shot in her class who recommended him to the University of Science and Technology of China in his freshman year of high school. I don't think you can replicate this legend."

Luo Bing said seriously: "Recommended to the University of Science and Technology of China as a freshman in high school? Although our school occasionally produces a genius like this every few years, obviously I'm not that strong yet..."

"You can try it as a sophomore in high school."

Yi Yang: "Ahem."

Then Luo Bing started laughing.

Yi Yang didn't expect that Luo Bing would make such a joke now. It seemed that after he entered high school, he had gradually moved closer to the image he had when he saw him in his previous life.

However, one can still hear some fatigue from Luo Bing's words.

In Luo Bing's own words, his current life is to read books no matter where he goes, and answer questions whenever he has something to do... Naturally, his way of answering questions and reading books is different from ordinary people, but it is definitely more taxing on the brain... With my foundation in junior high school, my plan is to thoroughly study high school mathematics and physics before this semester, and then concentrate on competitions.

Even though he has met many geniuses now, Yi Yang still feels that Luo Bing is the one genius among all.

Especially since I have studied the competition seriously, I have a deeper understanding of Luo Bing's talent. At least among the students in the same class, there is no big shot like Luo Bing. His main job is to participate in mathematics competitions. He can win in Jiangnan Province in his first year of high school. Killing randomly, just touching the chemistry competition, you can get an Ag.

Looking at the Jiangnan Provincial Team in various provinces, even if it is not the first echelon, it is at least the second echelon. Occasionally, there are two geniuses, and it is not without those who won the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Suhu examinations. Big players like Luo Bing As you grow up, facing certain weak provinces is basically a dimensionality reduction attack.

At present, Luo Bing is already ranked first in the province in both subjects, but after all, there are still many masters in Jiangnan Province, so he has not yet been selected for the provincial team during the second selection. However, it is basically a certainty that he will enter the provincial team, but there is only a little time. That’s all.

In a competitive province like Jiangnan Province, being selected for the provincial team and entering the northern Qing Dynasty to resume diplomatic relations is a sure thing. It is really indescribable to witness the development and growth of a social elite who is still a good friend of one's own.

This is an incentive.

So, you really have to work hard.

But having said that, what Yi Yang envies Luo Bing the most is not his current achievements, but his consistent sense of direction, steadily advancing his plans, and turning them into reality bit by bit.

Looking back at myself, I actually don’t know what I want until now.

I have only one hope for the future, which is to change my life.

As for this, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be no specific definition. Make a lot of money? Enter the system and become a civil servant? Or do you want to engage in scientific research and continue your studies? Thinking about it now, in fact, only going into business is in line with his expectations and is the most conducive to giving full play to the advantages of a reborn person. But if he really goes into business in the future, which industry will he go into?

Even the goal is to go to a good university, but it is not clear whether it is Qingbei University or another top three university.

Blurred, with only one general direction.

Let’s take one step at a time. This is what learning is like. In the process of learning, you not only gain knowledge and cognitive abilities, but also figure out bit by bit what you want and what you can want.

…

The next life was settled step by step, and it was a little different from the previous life, but in fact, after all, in school, no matter how you adjust it, it is just time outside the classroom. If you change a little, it won't actually change much. Adaptation Got it pretty quickly.

I studied very seriously in class, because this is always a main line that must be paid attention to. Whether it is a competition or the next basketball league, there is actually a "bet and gamble" element in it. A good way out, if he can't gamble, then the college entrance examination is his retreat, and this retreat cannot be cut off.

After giving up the debate, both Zhan Chao and Wei Ting came to see him. They were not angry because of his departure, but just expressed some regrets. In their eyes, Yi Yang was a very powerful new force.

However, Xing Yingdan seemed to have been angry with him and never called her again after that day. A week later, Yi Yang took the initiative to call her and asked the members of Debate Team 6 to have a meal together outside the school. in a small restaurant.

The meal was quite harmonious, and Xing Yingdan didn't seem to show any coldness as before. The four people at the dinner table made a few jokes, and the meal ended harmoniously.

The matter of the debate team has come to an end for the time being.

However, this process is not meaningless. Understanding some principles is secondary. The biggest gain is to learn the way of thinking in debate competitions, which is very helpful for writing essays, especially argumentative essays. But this little bit Promotion, for Yi Yang, who read many historical journal articles during his junior high school days, can only be said to be the icing on the cake.

But, isn’t that what learning is all about? Accumulate little by little, add some icing on the cake, improve your abilities little by little, and finally open up a chasm-like gap with ordinary people.

Compared to the easy get-together and breakup of the debate team, life on the basketball team is much more intense.

According to the requirements of the competition system, the high school student league has a roster of 12 people and adopts the "ten-man" game rule. Two people in the roster are substitutes.

Yi Yang is an outsider, a cultural student, who is inherently separated from the physical training students. Now he has landed by air, squeezing out a certain sports student's quota, and among the 12 people, he has also directly entered the 10-person list. Naturally It will cause dissatisfaction among many sports students.

Of course Yi Yang could understand the incompetent and furious emotions of this part, but he didn't care.

He came to the basketball team with only one purpose, which was to fight for a ranking with this team.

Interpersonal relationships are important, but for those who were not chosen because of themselves, just don’t let their thoughts, complaints, etc. come to you. If they do come to you, just deal with them accordingly.

Judging from what is perceived so far, a small basketball team also has a small group.

The division of small groups is mainly based on grade levels.

When Zhao Qiang came last time, several players from the senior year were not present, but there is no doubt that they are the real core. This time, 6 people on the roster are from the senior year.

Among them, the captain of the basketball team is called Zhou Ji, but he is the shortest on the team at just 1.8 meters. He has very good physical fitness. When wearing the uniform, his arm muscles are not inferior to those of American high school students. He can dunk. The advantage of joining the school team and becoming the captain is the breakthrough ability brought by the extremely fast speed, and the vision of the ball when breaking through.

The group of senior high school students don't have much hostility towards Yi Yang. After all, all the senior high school students who could make the team have made it, and the places that Yi Yang squeezes out must still be counted as high school sophomores or freshman.

Only three people were selected in the sophomore and first year of high school. In the second year of high school, they were Lei Zhenyu, Lin Song and a center over two meters tall named Wan Ding. In addition to Yi Yang, in the first year of high school, there were Li Rui and Xiong Zhen.

After class, if it doesn't rain, Gao Runxiang will organize everyone to practice physical fitness for half an hour, then practice basic skills for an hour, and practice tactical movement for the last half hour.

Yi Yang thought of the intensity of training described by Zhao Qiang. In comparison, it was really strange that a high school gymnast could beat a professional youth training team.

At the beginning, Yi Yang just concentrated on training and never deliberately showed his three-point ability. On the one hand, there was no chance, and on the other hand... this was the feel brought by time travel in the previous life. It seemed that there was no change whether he practiced or not, even if It’s been a while since I touched a basketball. When I stood outside the three-point line and tried to shoot, it was still so smooth. If I wasted time on this, it would be better to practice something else and make up for my shortcomings.

Occasionally, I will practice three-point shooting after formal training is over and there is no self-study on Friday night.

In the gym, there are not many people who practice extra on weekends. Everyone goes out to play. Only a few people practice extra. Senior Zhou Ji and sophomore Lin Song are both regulars.

At times like this, Yi Yang would shoot a three-pointer as if no one was watching.

That day was like this. The weather outside was a bit gloomy. Yi Yang stood outside the three-point line and shot more than a dozen balls in a row. Each one was accurately sent into the basket. Zhou Ji, who was dribbling vigorously on the spot next to him, was a little stunned. .

After a while, Zhou Ji took the initiative to come over to say hello and smiled: "That's a good shot... How about two?"

Playing two means to challenge a few balls recreationally.

Yi Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Uh... not bad, um, okay."

There were only two of them in the arena at this time. Zhou Ji stood in front of Yi Yang and served the ball, feeling quite relaxed.

"American or normal rules?"

"Anything is fine."

"Then it's un-American. How many balls should we play?"

"Three." Yi Yang smiled.

"OK."

Taking the ball outside the line, Yi Yang saw that Zhou Ji was standing a little far away, so he shot a three-pointer. Zhou Ji turned around and saw the basketball flying into the basket.

"Come again!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Come again!"

"Oh, you still want to let go?"

"I admit it after entering."

"Uh-huh!"

After scoring three goals in a row, Yi Yang was not polite and didn't give Zhou Ji any chance, and he happily won this small competition.

Zhou Ji was free and easy, and looked Yi Yang carefully up and down again. Yi Yang still had the same calm expression, smiled, and said: "It seems that the saying that you, the second passer in high school, came in through connections is not very reliable." ah."

Yi Yang smiled: "Who said this?"

Zhou Ji was stunned and shook his head: "I can't tell you this."

"Ha... I just asked casually, does the captain think I am qualified to play on the school team?"

"Judging from these few shots...it's hard to say. We still have to wait until we get on the court to find out."

"Fine."

The training was coming to an end, and Zhou Ji was about to pack up and leave. He paused before saying, "The first game will start next week. Are you ready?"

The first game was against No. 1 Middle School, and as for the venue... all Jiangnan Division games were held at No. 1 Middle School.

He smiled and said, "Always ready."
