I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

"Xue Shen, have you heard? This Saturday, the High School Affiliated to Normal University is going to play a competition with our school!"

When the boy who was doing the questions heard this, he slowly raised his head, sorted out his thoughts on the questions, and then focused on the face of the girl who was talking to him in front of him.

Of course Chi Xiaohuan doesn't understand basketball or competitions, and is actually not interested in it, but this is the only topic that can be found to strike up a conversation with him, so I'll bring it up.

If the High School Affiliated to Normal University is an explorer of university-style education, then Hanning No. 1 Middle School is ahead of them.

The freedom of No. 1 Middle School is even worse than that of the High School Affiliated to Normal University. Even if they fall in love and hold hands in school, the teacher will not say anything unless they see it.

Chi Xiaohuan looked at the young man in front of him, with clean hair, fair skin, slender fingers, and eyes that were always so focused... When you see this face, you will be in a good mood. Before you confirm that you like someone, you will probably You won’t think seriously about the shape of that emotion.

In the blink of an eye, it has been such a long time since school started, and the time has gradually shifted from the late summer to the golden autumn. Every bit of the campus, the ink pool, the big coffin-like gymnasium, and the sports ground, gradually became familiar with No. 1 Middle School. This school is really is great and worth exploring, but more often than not, I still like to focus on him.

Chi Xiaohuan has always been a girl with no big ambitions. She relied on her hukou advantage and good luck in the high school entrance examination. After being admitted to the No. 1 middle school, she never thought about getting any scary ranking in this school... Of course, she didn't Too realistic.

She feels that she has never been a top student. From elementary school to high school, she was just an average person who "stands out from the crowd". When she raises her head, there always seems to be a sky that is out of reach. When she lowers her head, she can't reach the ground inexplicably. So He has been living a small life quietly without being noticed.

The young man sitting in the row behind her was the sky that would be out of reach no matter how hard he raised his head for the next few days.

Sometimes, she didn't like her seat very much, because she was sitting in the front row, so if she wanted to see him, she had to turn around... This was really a nerve-wracking thing, because you always need something You can only turn around if you have a reason. Otherwise, if you turn around just to look at someone, you will look like a nymphomaniac. Your intention is too obvious and you are too shy. Finding reasons is a painful thing. Fortunately, she is It’s reasonable for a little shrimp to learn, but he needs guidance from a big boss, right?

Of course, using the excuse of studying to solve doubts every time is not a long-term solution. You have to be careful, in case he mistakenly thinks that he is a fool, it will be detrimental to the long-term development in the future, so occasionally he will use this kind of excuse that happens in school. Talk to him about the news, just like this time...

There have always been basketball games in No. 1 Middle School, and it is still a key high school with basketball characteristics. However, in this key high school where learning is the main focus, it is not that attractive. Many people even don’t know that No. 1 Middle School will participate in the “National High School Competition” every October. Basketball League".

Chi Xiaohuan was no exception. She only found out about this when she accidentally heard a classmate from the High School Affiliated to the Normal University... to be precise, it was a boy who had always liked her in junior high school who wanted to come to play in the competition. .

This matter itself is meaningless, it is just a good reason to strike up a conversation with him. Chi Xiaohuan originally did not expect this sentence to make him, who usually pays little attention to study accidents, raise his eyes...

After all, his personality is just like his name, cold.

Luo Bing.

But no matter what, you can turn around and talk to him, and you will make money no matter what.

If those classmates from junior high school saw Luo Bing at this time, they would probably be surprised, because he has completely changed his appearance at this time.

His height has skyrocketed, and he is no longer the dwarf. The iconic crew cut is no longer there. He has bangs, which are not long, and looks neat and tidy. His big glasses have been replaced by rectangular glasses without frames, and his eyes are bright. Always focused and elegant.

"Oh, that's about it." Luo Bing put down his pen, rubbed his temples, and asked casually: "You know about this, you like basketball?"

"Uh... I don't really like it, but a former classmate who was on the basketball team of the High School Affiliated to Normal University told me about it."

"Oh, that's right...yes, except for the sports students in No. 1 Middle School, not many people will pay attention to this game."

Chi Xiaohuan was a little excited, because this was the first time Luo Bing chatted with him about topics other than studying, so he continued: "Yeah, right... After all, everyone's attention is on studying, and basketball is too boring... …”

"It's not boring."

Luo Bing smiled lightly, "It's a very enjoyable competitive sport. Compared with football, where you can only score one or two goals after running a whole game, I prefer basketball, which scores points every minute." quasi-sport.”

"Of course, I didn't like basketball very much before, but one of my brothers plays basketball, so I paid a little attention." After a pause, he said, "I'm going to watch the game."

"Really! It's exactly the same as mine. I also think basketball is quite interesting... You want to go to the game? I want to go too!"

"Huh? Didn't you just say you were bored?"

"Where is it? Well, anyway, don't worry about these details, I am a loyal fan of Pele!"

"Pele plays football, right..."

"Ahem..."

Although the two had a strange conversation, fortunately, they finally reached a consensus: you can go and watch the basketball game on Saturday.

After returning to the dormitory, Chi Xiaohuan almost jumped up with excitement. She really didn't expect that just a random word would hit the god of learning's interests. This shows a truth, you never know what will happen when you open the package. What does chocolate taste like.

Of course, for now, I just look forward to the feeling of being with Luo Bing. Listening to him talk and looking at his face will make you feel very comfortable. This emotion has not yet materialized into an executable goal.

After calming down her emotions for a while, she thought for a while and sent a message to a male sports student in the class who knew basketball: "How can I learn about basketball?"

"Just watch the game, you'll understand after watching it."

"Is there a quick fix?"

"Well... let's read a magazine."

"do you have?"

"Uh, what do you want to do?"

"Let me have a look..."

"No borrowing!"

"Don't be so stingy. I'll lend you my homework next time."

Half an hour later, Chi Xiaohuan brought a thick stack of basketball magazines from outside and read them religiously, as if reading the analysis of real college entrance examination questions.

The roommates who came in later were shocked when they saw this scene, and asked her in confusion: "Are you a basketball fan? Are you ready to chase basketball stars?"

Chi Xiaohuan snorted and said, "Studying is not just about books. I want to ask, does Pele play football or badminton?"

Everyone said in unison: "Basketball player!"

"ha……"

…

"The high school league is divided into four stages."

In the gymnasium, some athletes were training, and in a corner, Gao Runxiang called several first-year high school students aside to say something.

None of the first-year students had ever participated in the high school league, so Gao Runxiang thought it was necessary to talk to them about some things about the competition system.

"The first stage, also called the selection competition, usually starts in October. All competition activities are organized by each participating province according to the time schedule of the competition schedule without affecting the students' academic work. Each competition area selects 8 Each team will compete in a single round-robin group competition, and the group rankings will be ranked according to points, and the team that wins the division championship will participate in the second stage of the competition."

"The second stage, also called the divisional competition, consists of the national participating provincial division champions and the last league champion and runner-up, divided into two divisions, southern and northern divisions, with eight teams in each division. They will be divided into two groups by drawing lots for a single round-robin competition. The points will be used to rank the group rankings, and the champion and runner-up teams in the southern and northern divisions will enter the third stage of the competition."

In the third stage, also called the challenge, the runner-up teams from the South and North districts challenge the champion team across districts (one game determines the outcome), and the winning team participates in the national finals. "

"The fourth stage is the national finals. The national finals adopt a best-of-three-game system. The two teams will determine the home and away ranking of 1-2 based on the total points lost in the second stage. The team that wins two games first will Won the national championship in this league.”

"The national finals will be played almost until April next year."

Yi Yang subconsciously glanced at the senior high school students who were training over there. No wonder the High School Affiliated to Normal University arranges many first and second grade students to play games every year, because the schedule of this league is actually somewhat unreasonable.

The second stage, with the fiercest competition for rankings, is scheduled in March. In most areas, high-level athlete tests, college entrance examination sports exams, and senior high school mock exams are mostly conducted in March and April. The league time conflicts with athletes' academic studies. It will inevitably interfere with the schedule of the senior athletes in the team, causing some players to have to leave the game midway. On the one hand, it will affect the strength of the school, and on the other hand, it will also reduce the quality of the game a lot.

After a pause, Gao Runxiang talked about another important rule of the league, which is the "ten-a-side" competition system.

The "ten-a-side" competition method simply means that the first and second quarters are divided into two quarters with non-repeatable player lineups, and there are no lineup regulations in the third and fourth quarters. "

"The reason for implementing the ten-a-side competition is that there are some people who are weak but want to go through the back door. They want to mix with some strong teams and get tickets for high-level athletes to go to prestigious schools. After this regulation comes out, those who are weak will , is also a must, and can compress the living space of related households to a certain extent.”

But Yi Yang is keenly aware that this system also has some unreasonable aspects.

There is no doubt that the "ten-a-side system" will make the team pay more attention to cultivating and activating reserve forces. However, some outrageous scenarios may occur during the implementation of the rules. For example, if five players play in the first quarter, the other five players must be replaced in the second quarter, and some teams have to cancel due to player examinations, injuries, etc. When fewer than five players are replaced, or when a player is fouled and sent off in a single quarter, a four-on-five or even a three-on-five situation may occur in the first half of the game.

More than one person was aware of this problem. Li Rui thought about it and couldn't help but ask his own question: "So if someone from the senior year of high school goes to take the exam, wouldn't we be able to gather 5 people?"

Gao Runxiang glanced at Li Rui, "The situation you mentioned is entirely possible. Therefore, six of the twelve people are not high school seniors. Your ability to enter the school team does not depend on how well you play, but Some athletes in their senior year of high school cannot play until the end.”

Li Rui had a complicated expression.

…

As the day of the competition gets closer and closer, Yi Yang gradually feels who the people in the team who are dissatisfied with him are...

Lin Song, a sophomore in high school.

Lin Song is a sophomore in high school and a small forward on the team. He is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has a slender build. He has a good relationship with Lei Zhenyu. This is not the point. The point is that he also has a good relationship with a guy named Ding.

In fact, it doesn't matter what the name is, Yi Yang doesn't even bother to remember that person's name. He still has an impression of that person because when he joined this team, he was squeezed out of the spot that was rushed to the street.

According to the ten-man game rules, at least two lineups of similar strength are needed to ensure an even strength in the first half.

Of course, from the perspective of future generations, almost the same strength does not mean almost the same position. In the future, the positioning of various positions on the court will become increasingly blurred, but it is not enough at this stage. Everyone plays very traditionally. The point guard is the point guard and the center is. Center, if the center pulls outside the three-point line to shoot three-pointers, people will think he is crazy.

Therefore, at least Gao Runxiang's point of view is that the positions of the two lineups must correspond one to one.

Unfortunately, Yi Yang can only be a point guard, and that guy named Ding is also a point guard. Except for Zhou Ji, a senior in high school, only Yi Yang can catch Gao Runxiang's eye, so Ding is eliminated. .

And that Ding something like that is Lin Song's brother.

Of course, Yi Yang doesn't mind this matter. The high school basketball team actually doesn't have so many messy conflicts and overt and covert attacks. It can even be seen from the side that Lin Song is at least a loyal person... Such a person, After becoming friends, they will be very sincere.

If nothing else happens, they will get along for a long time.

However, Lin Song's hostility towards him was not very obvious, it was just not taking the initiative to say hello.

Yi Yang thought to himself, he is really a child.

At this time, Lin Song was sitting on the edge of the court, texting on a mobile phone, with an unconscious smile on his face. It was probably a girl?

Lei Zhenyu, who was standing next to him, joked: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely make a ball for you when the time comes, so that you can perform well in front of that Chi Xiaohuan!"

Lin Song punched Lei Zhenyu twice, put away his smile, and frowned slightly when he saw Yi Yang walking over.
