It was October 25th, coincidentally a Sunday. Zhou Shaojian was in his dorm packing up his things to prepare for tomorrow's departure.
" Ah Jian, when are you leaving tomorrow?" Yu Ze, who was lying on the bed, asked.
" The flight is at 7:40 tomorrow morning," Zhou Shaojian said.
" Ah Jian, I will miss you," Yu Ze said.
" Yu Ze, you make it sound like we don't miss Brother Jian," Shi Yuce said after he walked in.
" Brother Jian, you can do it. I'll watch every match of yours," Shi Yuce and Zhang Ruocheng said.
" And I, Ah Jian, will watch every game of yours," Yu Ze echoed.
" Thank you in advance, but don't spray me if I can't play well." Zhou Shaojian joked.
" Brother Jian, with your level, you won't," a few people said.
At six o'clock on the morning of October 26th, Zhou Shaojian was ready to set off. He had planned to leave alone without waking everyone up. Unexpectedly, Yu Ze, Zhou Lindong, Zhang Ruocheng, Zhang Zitao, and Shi Yuce had also woken up.
"You're all up so early," Zhou Shaojian said, scratching his head.
" Brother Jian, we'll send you off," Zhang Zitao and the others said.
" Alright, you guys can go back and rest after I get in the taxi. You still have classes in the morning," Zhou Shaojian said.
" Alright," the few of them said.
The few of them set off for the bus. Along the way, they chatted. When they left their dormitory, they bumped into Zhang Mengling, Xu Ruolin, and Xu Xiaohong who were already waiting there.
" You guys are up so early too?" Zhou Shaojian scratched his head again.
" If Mengling didn't say that she wanted to send you off, we wouldn't have woken up so early," Xu Ruolin and Xu Xiaohong joked.
" Ruolin, Xiaohong, don't make fun of me," Zhang Mengling said shyly.
The line to send them off had unknowingly grown a little bigger. When they arrived at the bus stop near the school, a taxi happened to pass by.
" Alright, I'll send them here. You guys go back early," Zhou Shaojian said to the few of them after putting down his luggage and getting ready to get into the car.
" Goodbye," the group said.
" Sir, go to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport," Zhou Shaojian said after getting into the car.
" Young man, you're not on holiday yet. What are you going there for?" The driver asked.
" I need to take a plane to a basketball base in Beijing to report and then start my special training," Zhou Shaojian replied.
" I couldn't tell that you're so good. Why are you going to the basketball base for special training?" The driver continued to ask.
" To participate in the International College Basketball Tournament," Zhou Shaojian replied.
" You're amazing, young man. You're representing the country. In the future, I can show off that someone from the national team has sat in my car. Young man, this is my number. If you come back, call me. I'll come to pick you up as soon as possible. My surname is Tang," Mr. Tang said excitedly.
" Thank you, Master Tang," Zhou Shaojian said.
" You're welcome," Master Tang replied.
After arriving at the airport and passing the security check, Zhou Shaojian was about to embark on his special training trip. After a little more than two hours, the plane arrived in Beijing. After collecting his luggage, Zhou Shaojian was ready to report to the airport. When he was about to take a bus to report to the base, he did not expect that among the group of people in front, two figures were particularly familiar.
" Zhixin Dadong, you guys are here too?" Zhou Shaojian dragged his luggage over.
" Shao Jian, what a coincidence that you're here too!" The two turned around and said.
" Yeah, it's quite a coincidence. I'm going to the base in Beijing for special training to prepare for the World University Basketball Tournament. What about you guys?" Zhou Shaojian replied.
" We're also gathering for special training to prepare for the World Youth Basketball Tournament," Zhi Xin and Dadong replied.
" Good luck!" Zhou Shaojian encouraged.
" We will. You too," Zhi Xin and Da Dong said.
" Who is Big Dong Zhixin? Do you know him?" Wang Yuan asked.
" Yes, Captain Wang Yuan. He's the Zhou Shaojian I mentioned to you," Zhi Xin and Big Dong replied.
" Hello, my name is Wang Yuan." Out of courtesy, Wang Yuan stepped forward to shake hands.
" Hello, my name is Zhou Shaojian." Zhou Shaojian shook his hand.
" Wait a minute, aren't you the person in the most popular basketball match video? Oh my god, I've seen you in person. The basketball match in that video was so exciting. Your basketball skills are amazing," Zhao Tuo said excitedly.
" I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it," Zhou Shaojian said modestly. He didn't expect that basketball match to make him famous all of a sudden.
" What? The Chinese people in the basketball match video?" Zhao Tuo's words attracted the attention of some passers-by, who came forward to ask for a photo.
The group of people got on a car to the base. As the official training would only start in the afternoon, after the group received their things, they went to their dormitories to rest and adjust. When Zhou Shaojian arrived at the dormitory, he saw that there was already one person inside. This time, the training would be two people to a dormitory.
" Hey, buddy, how are you? My name is Yuan Feng. I'm from the Shanghai Institute of Physical Education. I'm one of the candidates for the International College Basketball Tournament. Please take care of me," the man sitting on the bed said enthusiastically with a northeastern accent.
" Hello, my name is Zhou Shaojian. I'm from Zhejiang Arts and Media College in Hangzhou. Please take care of me," Zhou Shaojian replied.
" You're good, bro. You should know that most of the recruits for university competitions are from sports schools. You've been selected. It shows that your strength is not bad," Yuan Feng said.
" No, I was just lucky," he replied humbly.
" Have you heard? There's someone who made an exception this time," a few people in another dormitory said.
"Isn't it just a basketball showdown? He probably created it himself," a slightly skinny man said. How dare you say that? You're quite bold.)
" Yao Hu, what do you think?" one of them asked another.
"If you don't like him, then go find him. What does that have to do with me?"Well said, I'll let you be Brother Jian's guard with a sword. Did you find me to tell me this? If there's nothing else, I'll leave." Yao Hu left the dormitory after saying that.
"Tsk, I thought you had some ability.(Yao Hu is the best in the Chinese University League. He has an average of 29.7 points, 19.3 rebounding, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals, and 4.6 blocks per game. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's the best player in the Chinese University League.) I didn't expect you to be a coward," the person said unhappily.
" We'll teach the kid in the video a lesson in the afternoon. Why are you puking?" someone said.
At 1:30 p. m., everyone was gathered at a venue.
" Let's get familiar with each other first," a person in work clothes said.
" Hello, everyone. My name is Yuan Feng. I'm from the Shanghai Institute of Physical Education. Please take care of me," Yuan Feng said enthusiastically.
" My name is Li Hua, I'm from Xi'an Institute of Physical Education. I play as a point guard, so please take care of me," a well-proportioned man said.
" My name is Chen Shun, and I'm from Xi'an Institute of Physical Education like Li Hua. I play as a power forward, so I hope everyone can give me some pointers," a tall man said.
" My name is Yao Hu. I'm from Zhejiang Institute of Physical Education. I'm a power forward and a center. Please take care of me," Yao Hu said.
" My name is Zhou Shaojian. I'm from Zhejiang Arts and Media College. I'm fine with either point guard or point guard," Zhou Shaojian said.
" Tsk, so impressive!" Some people immediately booed.
" May I ask what I did to offend you?" Zhou Shaojian asked.
" You've offended us," someone said. He was a little thin, but he was about 1.96 meters tall.
" I'd like to hear the details," Zhou Shaojian said.
" To be honest, I think the video of your duel was exaggerated. The person you fought against might have been someone you deliberately hired to help you hype up your fame," the person said a little sourly.
"Oh? "Is there anyone here who is not convinced?" Zhou Shaojian asked loudly.
" Brat, you're quite arrogant. Do you want to challenge us?" After saying that, a few people stood up.
" That's right. Only after I teach you a lesson will you know that there's always someone better than you," Zhou Shaojian said calmly.
" Hahahaha, this kid means that he's stronger than us. It seems that we have to teach him a lesson," the few people who stood up said with some disdain.
" Brother, I'll form a team with you," Yao Hu said to Zhou Shaojian.
" Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need," Zhou Shaojian said.
" What's the matter, kid? Are you going to challenge all of us?" The person who stood up first said unhappily.
" That's right. I'll challenge all of you. Each of you will score three goals to decide the winner," Zhou Shaojian said as if he was the king of the world.
" Very good, you have guts. You will regret it," said the group of people who stood up.
" I'll fight you one on one first. My name is Ouyang Zhi," the first person who stood up to challenge Zhou Shaojian said.
" You attack first, or you won't have a chance," Zhou Shaojian said. Brother Jian, you are getting more and more conceited. Do you believe that I will cut off your ability?
" Are you looking down on me?" Ouyang Zhi said unhappily.
Ouyang Zhi controlled the ball and was ready to attack. Ouyang Zhi dribbled the ball and broke through Zhou Shaojian." It's not that good. It's just that his skin is a little better," Ouyang Zhi said proudly after breaking through.
" Pa!" Suddenly, Zhou Shaojian quickly chased after him and blocked Ouyang Zhi's shot." So fast!" Everyone was surprised by Zhou Shaojian's speed. Zhou Shaojian dribbled the ball to the three-point line, and Ouyang Zhi came over to defend.
Zhou Shaojian sped up and changed direction to get past Ouyang Zhi's powerful slam dunk. The basket was also shaking because of Zhou Shaojian's strength. Ouyang Zhi immediately realized that the black man in the video match was not defenseless, but could not defend against him at all. Soon, he was slapped in the face for what he had just said.
" Next!" Zhou Shaojian shouted domineeringly after he had scored three goals. At this time, those who were not convinced of his ability just now did not stand up. This was because Ouyang Zhi could be considered one of the top 20 experts in the Chinese University League. If he could not win, then they had even less chance of winning.
" We're convinced," the group said.
" We always say that there's always someone better than you. Don't judge others by your own standards, or you'll be the one at a disadvantage. I'm not asking you to submit to me in today's competition. I'm just telling you that I have the ability to stay, that's all," Zhou Shaojian said.
After the small Bo fold, everyone began to throw themselves into the training after the introduction.
" Shao Jian, how was your day over there?" Zhang Mengling sent him a message that night.
" That's all. We just gathered, so I don't know what will happen," Zhou Shaojian replied, but he didn't tell Zhang Mengling about what happened in the afternoon.
(The first update is served. I'm sorry for being a few minutes late. The second update will be around 2:30 in the afternoon.)
