Chapter Seventy-Six: Everyone Is Not Optimistic

The Mathematics Academy basketball team is pitiful.

In addition to the school team, the basketball team of each college of Tunghai University is formed spontaneously by students, and the large departments with a large number of people may also be able to crowdfund and hire coaches, while the small and medium-sized departments of the School of Mathematics have a small number of people, and the basketball team is all generated for love.

There are only more than 400 people in the entire department of mathematics, except for the seniors who are not in school all the year round, there are more than 200 male students, among whom there are not many who can play basketball, and even fewer who can play well. The basketball team of the Academy of Mathematics is in an embarrassing situation. The seniors who played well had just graduated, and the freshmen had not yet been found to have any good seedlings. In large departments with a large number of students, students have to go through a series of strict screenings if they want to enter the department team, and as long as the school of mathematics can dribble, they can basically enter.

The basketball captain introduced himself, my name is Su Yan, Jiang Chao's expression was stunned: "Su Yan?"

Su Yan blinked, "Su, the revived Su, the words of language, what's wrong?"

Jiang Chao came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing." ”

Su Yan is not tall, and when he wears shoes, he can claim a height of 180 to the outside world. He is also a boy who is not very outgoing, and his favorite star is Kobe, who wears the number 24 jersey.

Jiang Chao followed Su Yan to the court.

More than a dozen people, tall and short, were playing on the court. Jiang Chao looked at the past, their level was high and low, but overall it was not very good. In a word, it's a mess. The person with the ball dribbles in place for a while, and the defender sticks it up, and then throws it out casually, out of order. Playing around, there are only two or three who can score, and the coordination of the movements is not good, often rushing to the bottom of the rebound, and then going to the basket in a sci-fi action, and the factor of scoring is often luck accounts for the majority.

Well...... If this is the legendary team, to put it mildly, Jiang Chao thinks that a powerful class in Furong No. 2 can beat them.

In addition to Jiang Chao, several freshmen also followed Su Yan. When they saw the team, most of them had similar thoughts in their hearts.

This department team ...... It's a little watery.

But the enthusiasm was quite high. Su Yan gathered everyone over and introduced each other to each other. A senior said excitedly: "This year's junior looks a little strong!"

Jiang Chao was silent. To be honest, he was still a little disappointed in his heart. As a relatively dull person, basketball is one of the few things that can ignite Jiang Chao's passion. But seeing this team at this time, alas, it's hard to say.

After the introduction, at Su Yan's suggestion, the team of more than a dozen people was divided into two teams to play a training match. It's said to be a training match, but it's just a full-court training that is not too formal.

Jiang Chao played very casually. A teammate passed the ball, he dribbled the ball across the half court, and the defender opposite was a small senior. His skills are terrible, but what surprised Jiang Chao was that he was very serious and had serious eyes. Jiang Chao was a little funny in his heart, basketball needs to be serious, but many times it is not enough to be serious.

Then, Jiang Chao started his performance, the senior defense on the opposite side was really no deterrent, and Jiang Chao scored two three-point jumpers in a row.

Well, it feels good today.

In an instant, Jiang Chao ignited the passion of others.

"Wow! This junior is a bit fierce!"

Jiang Chao did not play very actively. It was just a simple run, catch, and shot, but he shot too accurately, and after playing for a while, he had completely convinced the rest of the team. The seniors suddenly had a strange thought, it seemed that this year they had a chance not to be eliminated in the first round?

That's right, since Tunghai University had a basketball game, the School of Mathematics has never made it to the second round of the competition.

Tunghai University is a strong school in the CUBA basketball game, and its best result has won the overall runner-up. And to achieve such good results, it is due to the fact that there are many sports students at Tunghai University.

High-level athletes who go to a first-class comprehensive university such as Tunghai University can choose their own major if their college entrance examination score is high enough. But not all majors, and general high-end majors are not available. Tunghai University can choose majors such as economics and management and journalism for students with sports specialties - so the basketball teams are concentrated in these departments.

On the second day after Jiang Chao joined the basketball team, he ushered in the first game.

Their first opponent was the champion of the previous session, the Department of Economics and Management, which is the department where Guan Tian is located.

The first round of competition was held in the school's large basketball playground, which had more than a dozen basketball courts, and there were games on each court. In the first round, a knockout system is adopted, so that the teams that are not strong can be eliminated as soon as possible. Once in the quarterfinals, the match will be moved to an indoor venue for a best-of-five format.

No one is optimistic about the Academy of Mathematics.

This stadium has very few spectators. There aren't many people in college who pay as much attention to basketball as they do in high school. Because the life of college is so rich, everyone can pay attention to what they are interested in, and everyone has a place to vent their energy, if he chooses to watch a basketball game, it means that he is really interested in basketball.

Those who pay attention to the basketball circle of Tunghai University are even more reluctant to watch the games of the School of Mathematics and the School of Economics and Management. As we all know, the level of the School of Mathematics is not as good as that of some high school students, but the School of Management and Economics has four sports students from the school team, and when they all play, their strength is close to that of the CUBA first-class team! In everyone's opinion, the gap between the level of the two colleges is like the gap between high school students and elementary school students.

Those who choose to come to this stadium to watch the game are basically to see the School of Management and Economics. The four members of the SME team can be called the basketball stars of the school. On the side of the court, there were some people standing sparsely, most of them were friends and lovers of the players on both sides.

Zhang Gao and Wei Wan were also on the sidelines, and they made a special trip to cheer for Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao's eyes swept around the side of the court, and he even saw Judy.

This time, it was Judy who took the initiative to bring her roommate along. "Hmm...... Let's take a look at the competition in our academy. The other three "princesses" wondered why Judy had suddenly become interested in basketball, but they followed. Until she saw Jiang Chao from the School of Mathematics, Zou Ya smiled evilly: "Hey, you won't come to see your high school classmates, right?"

Judy smiled and stuck out her tongue at Zou Ya.

SME sent only two sports students from the school team. The other two felt that it was unnecessary, so they made an appointment to go to an off-campus Internet café to play League of Legends. If the two varsity teams can't beat the academy, then they can buy a piece of tofu and shoot themselves to death. Moreover, in addition to the four sports students of the school team, the strength of the other members of the School of Management and Economics is also very good.

It looks arrogant, but no one thinks that SME is unreasonable in this arrangement.

The Faculty of Mathematics is simply too weak.

Under the watchful eyes of the sparse crowd, players from both sides took to the court. Even the two varsity sports students were still sitting on the sidelines, and the two of them were substitutes, sitting on the sidelines of the court talking and laughing. In their opinion, the School of Mathematics is just the right time for this year's freshmen to practice their hands and experience the feeling of the competition. If the starters can't beat it, the two of them will play again.

Jiang Chao stood on the court. Su Yan said to Jiang Chao seriously: "It's up to you, come on!"
