15. Warm-up before the game

After Huaihai Middle School and the others left, Shi Xuan began to mumble: "President, why do you think they are so kind and actually help us deal with the Songjiang Mansion team? You must know that we will be the next to fight against them! Are they weasels giving New Year's greetings to chickens---are not kind?"

Zeng Ping nodded his head: "That's right! Nothing to be courteous, if you are not a traitor, you will steal." They are so enthusiastic, there must be some ulterior conspiracy!"

Jiang Shuiyuan said lightly: "It's nothing more than trying to provoke us to fight to the death with the Songjiang Mansion team, and then win a point from us and fight for a place in the next competition." ”

Shi Xuan immediately jumped up: "Even their virtue also wants to win us, I think they didn't drink enough water yesterday!"

Zeng Ping was also angry: "Huaihai Middle School is too much of a bully! No matter how weak we are, we are also a Class B team, and no matter how strong they are, they are also a Class C team." Do they really think that they can settle us like this? We may have more than enough heart and strength to deal with the Songjiang Mansion team, but we still have no problem dealing with them Xuzhou Mansion. President Jiang, what do you say we should do?"

Chen Di hurriedly dissuaded: "It's not a hurry to deal with Xuzhou Mansion, after all, there are still four or five days, and you can think about it in the long run." The key is still tomorrow's game with Songjiang No. 2 Squadron, if we play well and play with momentum, how can we be a little bit more honest with Huaihai Middle School! So let's calm down and sum up tomorrow's game first, right?"

Fu Shouzhang said: "Vice President Chen is right, the second squadron of Songjiang is indeed a good whetstone, if we have a loose foundation in Chinese studies and a weak fighting spirit, I am afraid that a little polishing will naturally lead to a collapse of the army, and even if it is against the Huaihai Middle School team in the future, the army will be unstable." But as long as our strength is strong enough, our determination is big enough, and our confidence is strong enough, after this battle, not to mention that we can easily win a weak team like Huaihai Middle School, even in the group battle of Class B, we can win one or two more games!"

Jiang Shuiyuan sighed secretly: It is said that he must be determined enough and his confidence is strong enough, but in fact, he is still too timid! Look at everyone's tone, one said that he had more than enough heart and strength to deal with Songjiang Mansion, and the other planned to win one or two more games in the group battle of Class B, and no one dared to think about defeating Songjiang No. 2 Squadron!

But also, the strength of Songjiang Mansion is too strong, and the victory in its hands is like the emperor's favored concubine, so that ordinary people can't covet it at all.

Jiang Shuiyuan said: "I think the Songjiang No. 2 Squadron should not only be our whetstone, but also our stepping stone! It is true that the Songjiang No. 2 Squadron is very strong, but it will not discourage us. Last night, Jiang had learned the tricks of their main general, to be honest, the level was very average, even Zhou Yuantong of the Huaihai Middle School team was not as good, and he was poured out on the spot. I think everyone has heard of it, right? The Lord will still be like this, and others can imagine!

"If we only have the mentality of playing and practicing with the Songjiang No. 2 Squadron, no matter how weak they are, we have no hope of winning, because we dare not win, and we have no intention of winning, so how can we win? So we don't have to think about how powerful they are, that's demonization, that's inferiority, in fact, it's just an ordinary team, neither so strong that it is outrageous, nor so weak that everyone can bully. That's all!"

Shi Xuan couldn't help but mutter: "Where are they ordinary? They are the Songjiang Mansion team that has won seven or eight championships in a row!"

Jiang Shuiyuan knew that this was what most people wanted to say, so he didn't refute it, but asked rhetorically: "Songjiang Mansion is the first every year, is it natural?"

"Of course not......"

"Isn't that the end of it?" Jiang Shuiyuan chuckled, "The ancient emperors claimed to be ordered by heaven and thousands of generations, but the result was not that they collapsed in a few hundred years, and the country was ruined? Who knew that the second championship that we killed was not its Matsue No. 2 Squadron?"

Zeng Ping, Shi Xuan, and the others' eyes suddenly lit up: Yes! At the beginning, the No. 1 Middle School Team was so powerful that it was like a 10,000-foot peak lying on the way forward, and they were so scared that they didn't want to, but what was the result? The Great Wall is still there, and Qin Shi Huang is not seen in the past! The so-called 7th and 8th champions are nothing more than that, and who knows if the Songjiang No. 2 Squadron will follow in the footsteps of the No. 1 Middle School Team?

Battle!Battle!!Battle!!

Jiang Shuiyuan shook his tongue vigorously, and finally barely aroused everyone's fighting spirit. As for how long the fighting spirit can be maintained, God knows! Jiang Shuiyuan only hopes that when he enters the arena tomorrow morning, everyone will still have dreams such as "What if we really win the second squadron of Songjiang?"

――――

The next morning, Jiang Shuiyuan and others came to the competition venue on time outside the academic hall of Jinling University.

As soon as they arrived on the front foot, the Songjiang No. 2 Squadron and the Huaihai Middle School Team followed on the back foot. In the cool breeze of early summer morning, Han Ren of Sao Bao was still shaking the folding fan, and when he saw Jiang Shuiyuan, he asked lightly: "Little handsome guy, the game will start soon, are you nervous?"

"Nervous!" Jiang Shuiyuan replied honestly, "I don't know what you're going to spray if you lose later, I'm afraid of splashing me!

Xiao Yuqing, Chen Di and others couldn't help but hide their mouths and laugh.

As the saying goes: "Hitting people doesn't slap people in the face, and scolding people doesn't expose their shortcomings." Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuiyuan opened his mouth and went straight to the scar, and after revealing it, he sprinkled a handful of salt on it, which made Han Ren's forehead bruise: "Good, good, good, count you sharp tongue! I hope you can be so talkative in the debate arena, don't let me think that the mouths of Jiangbei people can't speak except for being bitter and mean!"

Jiang Shuiyuan smiled: "I also want to know if the mouths of the people of Songjiang Mansion have a third special function besides drinking water and spraying water!"

"You-!Let's see!"

Looking at Han Ren's appearance that he almost gritted his teeth in anger, the people around him thought that he would be annoyed and angry, and he came up to have a good theory with Jiang Shuiyuan, and it was possible to solve it with his bad-tempered fists and feet by force. Unexpectedly, after he put down a cruel sentence, he brushed his sleeves away, without taking away half of the clouds, which made the jaws of the crowd watching the excitement drop to the ground.

Zhou Yuandong was also quite surprised: "I heard that there was a dispute between two people from Songjiang Mansion before, both of them were twenty or thirty years old men who were in full swing, and they were one meter apart from each other, and they could quarrel for half a morning without moving their fists." I always thought it was a joke, because in our Xuzhou three sentences without saying a word, it is time to slam your fist to see the truth, I didn't expect that the man in Songjiang Mansion really has the ability to bear shame and shame and spit on himself!"

Fu Shouzhang reminded in a low voice: "President Jiang, it is said that dogs that bite people don't bark, Songjiang Mansion is so reluctant to swallow it, we have to be more careful!"

Jiang Shuiyuan said: "Senior Brother Fu is taught! But the strength of the second squadron of Songjiang is there, and the anger will not increase, and the joy will not decrease, so we don't have to care too much about their mood." It's them who need to care about their mood, because if they make a mistake on the field, it's them, not us!"

The first part of the competition is to draw lots to determine the debate topic and the pros and cons.

According to the rules of the competition, when the debate teams of different categories meet, the teams in the higher categories will draw the debate questions, and the teams in the lower categories will draw heads and tails. In other words, this game is the Songjiang No. 2 Squadron to draw the topic, and the Huai'an Fu Squadron decides the pros and cons. After being reminded by the referee, South Korea took out a note from the question box and handed it to the referee, and the referee read it out: "The debate topic of the first game of the second group is 'out of sight'!"

"'Out of sight'? What the hell is this?" Shi Xuan muttered in a low voice, "The referee is sure that he didn't miss a word, not 'out of sight'?"

I believe that there are not a few people who think the same as Shi Xuan, but Jiang Shuiyuan knows that the referee should not read less, because there is indeed such a debate as "out of sight" in the academic history of the pre-Qin period, and it is one of the "twenty-one things of famous masters". Because the "Twenty-one Matters of Famous Scholars" are contrary to common sense, similar to the sophistry of later generations, and the debate space is not large, it is difficult to support the 60-minute competition, and it has rarely been used as a difficult debate topic for Chinese studies. This time, such an indifferent topic was proposed, and it seems that after more than 40 sessions, they want to bring forth the new, and the judges are also a little exhausted!

"Next, please ask the Huai'an Mansion squadron to draw the positive and negative!"
