Basketball Match (1)

(Nakahara here! Check out the other novels I'm translating if this story isn't your cup of tea!)

The very next day, the sun is shining brightly.

Lin Fan was lying on the bed, leisurely playing with his mobile phone, and looking at the little sparrow stomping back and forth by the window from time to time.

At this time, Ma Zhong slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed his dizzy head and said with a hoarse voice, "Brothers, it's time to get up."

"Okay." Lin Fan responded and got up directly from the bed.

Zheng Jinbao also woke up and said: "Lin Fan, I rarely admire anyone. But, I have to say something to you... I admire you!"

"Yesterday, we drank two beers, right? You actually drank with the three of us yet nothing happened to you!".

With two beers, Lin Fan will naturally be fine.

Because of his skill, [Gentleman’s Drink].

"Lin Fan, aren't you from the Northeast? Then you can drink." Song Yi said.

Lin Fan smiled and replied, "What about the northeast? My hometown is Qingshi. Okay, now, get up quickly”.

The roommates finally got up from bed.

That said, being young is good.

When they just woke up, Zheng Jinbao, Ma Zhong and Song Yi were still very dizzy and top-heavy.

But after waking up and eating breakfast, the three of them were alive and kicking again.

Morning class is all about mathematics theory class explained by the old professor.

Arriving at his lesson and sitting together, Zheng Jinbao and Song Yi were becoming increasingly drowsy.

Ma Zhong is a good student who listens carefully to class and keeps track by taking notes.

Lin Fan sometimes listens to the class or flips through the textbook.

Soon after, the bell rang.

Ma Zhong walked up to Lin Fan’s desk and said concernedly,: "Lin Fan, You're new to the class so, If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me at any time”.

The reason why he’s asking this is because he noticed that when Lin Fan was in class, he didn't listen much, but instead kept flipping through the textbooks.

Therefore, he thought Lin Fan could not understand the material.

However, how did Ma Zhong know that the reason why Lin Fan didn't attend the class was not because he didn't understand, but because he felt it was too simple.

Zheng Jinbao yawned and said, "Yes, Ma Zhong is not good in other aspects, but in studies, he’s pretty good."

"What other aspects I’m I not good at?" Ma Zhong protested.

Zheng Jinbao chuckled and said: "Then, can we go to the club tonight?".

Ma Zhong's entire face turned red in an instant and tried to open his mouth but the words couldn’t come out.

"Okay, let's talk later, the cafeteria seats would be pretty occupied." Song Yi interrupted.

He had to say that there is a big difference between the Jiangbei University canteen and my high school canteen.

My high school’s canteen is similar to a fast food restaurant.

But the canteen of Jiangbei University is completely different.

Crock pot soup, roast goose rice, small stir-fry, grilled meat, ramen, etc. There are so many varieties.

Jiangbei University students enjoyed eating in their spare time, so there were long queue lines everywhere.

At this time, it had turned 12:00.

Lin Fan's phone shook slightly, and red envelope’s began bombarding!

He kept tapping the screen while taking advantage of the free time from waiting in the line.

[Ding! Congratulations, you got 5 yuan.] (0.75 cents)

[Ding! Congratulations, you got 1,000 yuan.] ($156)

…

[Ding! Congratulations, you got 10,000 yuan.] ($1,569)

[Ding! Congratulations, you got 3 yuan.] (0.47 cents)

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the skill: Unnerving Dribble!]

Once he finished clicking on the previous red envelope, it turned 12:01.

Soon after, it was Lin Fan and the others' turn to choose the dishes they’ll eat.

All four of them were young guys so they chose a dish that had a lot of meat. Savoring the tenderness, they all enjoyed it greatly.

Song Yi suddenly said: "There is no class this afternoon. I have an appointment with a few friends to play basketball. Lin Fan, want to come?."

Lin Fan thought that there was nothing wrong in the afternoon, and that he had just acquired the skill; Unnerving Dribble, so he could take this opportunity to try it out.

Lin Fan thought of this then nodded and responded: "Yeah."

Song Yi slapped Lin Fan's shoulder, and spoke very happily: "Good, thanks brother!"

Then, he seemed to have thought of something. Yesterday Lin Fan said that he hadn't played basketball for a long time.

"Don't worry, our skills are not very good, just hit it casually."

After lunch, Zheng Jinbao went back to the bedroom to sleep, and Ma Zhong went to the library.

But Song Yi and Lin Fan bought a bottle of water and went directly to the basketball court.

At this time, there were already four men wearing jerseys waiting on the basketball court.

The dark-skinned, tall man greeted from a distance: "Song Yi, you are finally here!"

"Introducing my new brother Lin Fan from our dormitory. He hasn't played basketball for a long time. So, don't play too aggressive later”, Song Yi replied.

"Ok”

"No problem!"

The four nodded one after another.

Then, according to the rules of streetball, the people rotated the basketball into two teams.

Lin Fan was relatively thin, and the men wearing No. 1 and No. 3 jerseys were divided into a group.

The two men looked at the well-divided team with bitterness and helplessness on their faces.

They are not very skilled, and they have no advantage in height.

Now, adding another Lin Fan who hasn’t played for a long time...

The two seemed to have seen...the scene where they were beaten senselessly to the ground.

Song Yi, Hei Da, and Gao Zhuang were on the opposite side of the court.

The three of them glanced at each other, their whole face bloomed with a smile.

"Don't worry, just have fun."

Soon, Song Yi dribbled off the ball, and then passed it to the tall guy.

The tall and strong one passed it to another teammate.

Then, the black big man quickly drove the ball to the basket.

"Brush!"

The basketball hit the net and scored successfully!

In the next game, No. 1 kick-off, he was quickly glued to the tall one.

Helpless, he had to pass the ball to No. 3.

No. 3 dribbled the ball for a while and was directly intercepted by the black man.

Then, the black man dribbled the ball again and made a quick layup.

"Brush!"

Score another goal!

In the third game, No. 1 kicked off again. He saw that No. 3 was stared to death by the black man. In desperation, he had to pass the basketball to Lin Fan.

Song Yi standing not far from Lin Fan, laughed and said: "Lin Fan, I'm coming to guard you, you have to be careful."

While speaking, he walked towards Lin Fan unhurriedly.

"Wsss!”.

However, before Song Yi approached, Lin Fan dribbled the ball quickly past him like a gust of wind.

The tall and strong man raised his brows slightly, and hurriedly tried to stop him.

But, Lin Fan didn't care at all, as he dangled the ball directly with a fake action.

The black man hurriedly gave up number 3 and came to block it.

In any case, it was rather too late.

"Huh!"

Lin Fan made a two-step layup and easily entered the basketball through the basket.

Score!

"Good!" No. 1 and No. 3 all exclaimed happily.

Song Yi was a little surprised and said, "Lin Fan, your technique...not bad!"

"It's okay." Lin Fan smiled casually.

The streetball match continues.

A tall and strong kick-off, was defended very tightly by No. 1, and had to pass it to Song Yi.

Song Yi smiled and said, "Lin Fan, you just dribbled the ball very fast. Come and see if you can take my ball."

"Snap!"

Lin Fanyan heard his comment then raised his hand and patted the basketball directly into his hand.

Song Yi was stunned for an instant.

That's right!

I told you to try defending the ball, but don’t do it so fast!

But Lin Fan didn't pay attention too much and turned around and dribbled the ball quickly and went straight to the basket.

"Brush!"

Scored again!

"Good shot!" No. 1 and No. 3 shouted excitedly.

Song Yi spoke blankly: "Lin Fan, you haven't played basketball in a long time?"

Lin Fan nodded.

Song Yi: “...”

If it’s a long time since you haven’t played basketball, then what is it?

How is this someone who has not played basketball recently?!
