Chapter VI Selection of Freshmen
On the morning of the next day, the military training of the freshmen of Licheng Middle School officially began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The content of military training is very simple, just two things, standing in a military posture and kicking a positive step. Because of the training in school, in order to prevent major accidents, there is no need to think about carrying a gun and shooting targets. Platoon training has become the simplest, most effective, safest and most reliable way of military training.
Early in the morning, all the freshmen gathered on the playground, and the principal Zhu Yida stood on the flag-raising platform to give a welcome speech and military training mobilization.
Zhu Yida has a nickname called "Pig Tail" in Licheng Middle School, not because he looks like a pig or has braided hair, but because he has a characteristic of speech and speech, and likes to say a few words after speaking.
But every time Zhu Yida said "say a few more words", it became dozens or hundreds of sentences when he spoke, and his classmates were so annoyed that they gave him such an ugly nickname.
Today, after the mobilization speech of the freshmen in military training and mobilization according to the script, Zhu Yida had to say a few more words as usual.
He talked about the difference between junior high school and high school life, talked about his own experience of studying in Licheng Middle School, from the importance of the college entrance examination, to the need to do more questions in evening self-study, from Licheng Middle School to several college entrance examination champions, and how Trump was elected president of the United States.
Zhu Yida's speech was already subdued and swallowed slowly, and he spoke for more than 40 minutes.
At the beginning of the mobilization meeting in the morning, the sun was still hidden in the clouds, and by the time Zhu Yida talked about the importance of military training to school life, the sun had already illuminated only half of the original shadow of the flagpole.
The cement playground under the sun is getting hotter and hotter, and the students below are slowly getting a little unbearable, whining, moving, wiping sweat, and the scene is gradually chaotic.
At this time, the instructors of each class changed their mildness and amiability at the meeting yesterday and began to maintain on-site discipline.
After a while, the playground was a lot quieter, only Zhu Yida's chattering voice and the noisy sound of the big tree next to the playground remained.
"Okay, students, I have one more point, and one last point. ā
Zhu Yida little by little, seeing that the sun was getting hotter and hotter, and there would be frail students who couldn't hold it if he stood still, and finally moved out of the last point.
"Before, we mainly talked about studying, but at the end I would like to talk to you about my interests and dreams. Everyone has dreams, especially you students, there are infinite possibilities for the future, there are infinite dreams. I want to travel the world, I want to make movies, I want to go to space, I want to make a lot of money. However, dreams are not nonsense, dreams must have a foundation, dreams must have support, dreams must have goals, and it is useless to talk about it. Take our school's basketball team as an example, do you have any dreams? There must be, I want to go to the United States, I want to be a professional player, I want to play in the NBA, but as a result, I can't even get the first place in Licheng County. When I used to study in Licheng Middle School, Licheng Middle School never won the second place in the county's basketball competition, and they were all first! Did those athletes go to the United States at that time? No, then you can't achieve this small goal now, what other bigger ideals can you talk about?"
Zhu Yida used the basketball team as a negative teaching material.
In the early years, as the best high school in Licheng, the outstanding basketball students of junior high schools in Licheng were willing to come here to go to school and play, so the school won the championship of the Licheng County Competition for a long time.
In recent years, Mingguang Middle School, the biggest rival of Licheng Middle School, has begun to invest a lot of money in basketball, giving generous scholarships and subsidies to those basketball students, and the strength of the basketball team of Mingguang Middle School is gradually approaching that of Licheng Middle School.
Last year, Mingguang Middle School first poached Jiang Xiaowu, the former coach of the basketball team of Licheng Middle School, with a high salary, and then used Jiang Xiaowu and high scholarships to recruit the two most talented students in Licheng in recent years.
As a result, Mingguang Middle School not only easily defeated Licheng Middle School to win the county championship in this year's county competition, but also entered the quarterfinals in the municipal winter trials, breaking the best results in the municipal competition created by Licheng Middle School.
"So, I think that in order to realize your dreams, you have to start with every little thing, every small goal. In the past few days, I have also discussed with the coaches and teachers of the school, and I am ready to organize a selection of freshmen, select some students with dreams and abilities to enter the basketball team, enhance our strength level, and strive to reshape the glory of Licheng Middle School in this year's county competition!"
After adding a few more words, Zhu Yida's stinky and long pig tail finally came to an end, and the freshman standing in the sun was about to faint.
Lu Yuan was also a little dizzy when he stood below, he was not sunburned, but surrounded by Zhu Yida's speech.
Lao Zhu went around and around and around the basketball, which made Lu Yuan feel strange, why did the word basketball appear more and more in front of him in the past two days?
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Fifteen minutes later, in the principal's office on the third floor of the administration building, Gao Jing, the head coach of the Licheng Middle School basketball team, slapped the table on Zhu Yida.
"Principal Zhu, it's a good thing that you attach importance to the basketball team, but you can't mess around, what does the freshman selection mean? The basketball game is just a few people who grow taller? I didn't hear any news beforehand, I'm now busy with the new semester training every day, isn't this a mess!"
Gao Jing said it unceremoniously, and the temper of this female coach seemed to be not small.
Because her father is the old principal of Licheng Middle School, he has retired, and he is Zhu Yida's old boss. On weekdays, Gao Jing called Zhu Yida an uncle, no big or small, and dared to shout at the principal when he started his temper.
Zhu Yida understood Gao Jing's temper, he sat at the desk silently, waited for Gao Jing to finish venting, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and said, "Xiao Jing, uncle will send you a small video to see." ā
"Principal, if you send a small video to a female subordinate, it constitutes sexual harassment!"
"Oops, don't get me wrong, it's two boys......"
"Headmaster, you still have this fetish!"
Lao Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "After watching the video, you will know why the selection competition is being held!" said and sent the video to Gao Jing through the chat software.
Gao Jing clicked on the video suspiciously, and saw that it was indeed two boys, one of whom she still knew, a new member of this year's basketball team, Dai Haoran, the best player in the county junior high school basketball game.
In the video, Dai Haoran is standing on the court with a tall boy, surrounded by a circle of people.
The video was taken from under the basket rack, and Gao Jing could see that someone was going to fight Dai Haoran alone.
Dai Haoran is not only the best player in the Licheng Junior High School Basketball Game, but also a student named by Gao Jing at the Licheng Middle School Basketball Special Enrollment Meeting.
She worked hard and did a lot of work to get Dai Haoran to agree to play in Licheng Middle School, but she was not poached by Mingguang Middle School.
And the boy Gao Jing who "challenged" didn't know who it was, he was quite tall, but he wasn't on the school basketball team. Seeing that he is wearing a military training uniform, he should be this batch of freshmen.
Gao Jing is interested now, she wants to see who else in Licheng Middle School can challenge Dai Haoran besides the basketball team.
But after watching it for more than a minute, Gao Jing was shocked.
In the first ball, the "challenger" took advantage of Dai Haoran's lack of preparation and scored a stop-and-go jump shot; in the second ball, he broke through slowly from the right side, and suddenly rubbed away Dai Haoran's horseback archery; and in the third ball, he "took advantage of his unpreparedness" and hit a three-point shot directly.
Then the boy gave Dai Haoran a chance to attack, but Dai Haoran's best step-by-step jumper with a side breaking through the baseline was interfered with, and the ball was stuck directly on the basket.
3:0, heads-up without suspense, Dai Haoran was tragically clean sheet, and he lost without temper.
Gao Jing paused the video, looked at Zhu Yida and said, "Principal Zhu, what is the origin of this child?"
Zhu Yida stood up slowly, walked to the window, and looked at the freshmen who were standing in a military posture on the playground downstairs, but did not answer Gao Jing's question.
Gao Jing was in a hurry, thinking that Zhu Yida was selling Guanzi, so she jumped up from the sofa and said, "Zhu Xiao...... Uncle Zhu, just tell me, I was too anxious just now, don't be angry?"
Zhu Yida shook his head, he wasn't angry with Gao Jing, but he really didn't know what this kid was about.
Seeing that Gao Jing was still going to ask, he hurriedly said: "Okay, Xiaojing, don't care what his origin is, he is a freshman in Licheng Middle School." Take a look below, you're participating in military training. You see, except for the children on the basketball team, the other students are also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The reason I did this is because I want to pick out more outstanding players, and the potential of children is unlimited!"
Gao Jing finally nodded after hearing this, agreed with the principal's selection suggestion, and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare for the selection right away, that kid must let him participate!"
After speaking, Gao Jing left the principal's office and went to Zhang Luo's selection.
"Hey, hey, I haven't finished watching the video yet, I've watched it, I've watched it......"
Before Zhu Yida finished speaking, Gao Jing had disappeared.
"Actually, I want you to see the kid at the end, that young man, he can really jump. ā
He originally wanted to tell Gao Jing that Bai Ye must be selected for the basketball team, and the little boy at the end of the video can take a good look and think about it.
Principal Zhu didn't know much about basketball, he couldn't see what level Bai Ye was, but Lu Yuan's jump amazed Lao Zhu.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
At noon, Principal Zhu was ready to go to the cafeteria to eat.
Wang Ke, the teaching director of the school on the road and the head teacher of the fifth class, also asked about the selection of Zhu Yida's basketball team.
Wang Ke is 30 years old this year, and he has only been teaching for seven years, but he is already the director of teaching. He has always been known for his strict management of students, and he is Zhu Yida's right-hand man, but he also did not get any news from the principal this time, which made him feel very strange.
"Principal Zhu, this selection has never happened before. In this ordinary student, where can there be a competition, it is okay to play and play usually, and it is a little difficult to participate in a regular competition. ā
Wang Ke followed behind Principal Zhu and said tentatively.
Wang Ke was burly and stout, with curly hair on his head, and he was sweating profusely from the sun.
However, he was careless and not careless, and Principal Zhu often consulted him about school management, and he was responsible for many non-teaching affairs, such as the school sports team.
Because of this, Wang Ke still has a lot of power in his hands, and several sports special enrollment places in the school are in his hands.
Parents of some students with poor grades and a slight specialty in sports will use Wang Cao to fight for their children to study in Licheng Middle School.
Before Jiang Xiaowu ran away, the two most talented students were recruited by Mingguang Middle School, and Wang Cao was responsible. Because Zhu Yida's academic policy is the first place in cultural achievements, the expenditure on sports has been reduced again and again.
Last year, when both students wanted to apply for school scholarships, Wang Cao rejected them outright and accepted other students, instead generating school choice fees for the school.
This time, Zhu Yida's wind direction suddenly changed, which caught Wang Ke off guard.
Zhu Yida put his hands behind his back, walked very fast, at noon he had to have a meal with a few instructors, heard Wang Cao's question, said: "I participated in the work meeting of the Education Bureau last week, and one of the basic requirements for applying for a five-star high school this year is that the collective sports project must be able to participate in the prefecture-level city competition and get the ranking!
After speaking, Zhu Yida walked faster, Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, didn't bother to wipe his sweat, and hurriedly followed Zhu Yida and went straight to the canteen.
Zhu Yida actually only said half of what Wang Ke said, and the other half remained in his stomach and didn't say anything.
Recently, in addition to applying for a five-star high school, the basketball team needs to get a ranking, and another important thing is that the NHBA National High School Basketball League Foundation has decided to increase the subsidy for each school.
This subsidy has been provided every year in the past, and is based on the size of the school, its performance, and its location. This time, another consideration has been added, which is the integrity of the team's squad.
In the past, in order to save money, the number of basketball teams in county middle schools such as Licheng Middle School was generally maintained at 8-9 people, and the track and field team or ordinary students were pulled to make up the number on the game day, so that each player could share more expenses, and the school and coach could also get more.
Now, the new subsidy scheme will be based on the number of players registered in the team, so that a team of 12 players will receive the full amount of the subsidy. For example, some strong basketball schools are even divided into one team and two teams, and they get more subsidies.
At present, the Licheng High School basketball team counts the new members of the high school year, with a total of 9 people, 3 short of the 12-person list.
Moreover, since Bai Ye asked to join the basketball team, Lao Zhu has been thinking about how to use to stuff Bai Ye into the basketball team.
Now with the selection method, one can pick two more players to fill the team slot, and the other can quietly stuff the white leaves into the basketball team, which is the perfect plan for the best of both worlds.
In addition, he saw the video of Bai Ye and Dai Haoran going head-to-head yesterday, and knew that this kid was not easy in basketball, so he had no worries.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu admired himself and walked faster, and he had to drink two more cups at noon.
