Chapter Twenty-Four: Adventures in the Arena

(xxiv)

On Sunday, the friendly basketball match between the Department of Chinese of Jiangcheng University and the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Professional Team of Jiangcheng Agricultural University was held as scheduled. The venue of the competition is in the gymnasium of Jiangcheng Agricultural University.

This competition was jointly organized and planned by He He and Dong Shiyu, a fellow villager who is the head of the animal husbandry and veterinary medicine major of Agricultural University. Dong Shiyu is a basketball enthusiast, and there are only three girls in the 43 classmates in their class, and the rest are boys, so it is not a problem to organize three basketball teams. The Chinese Department of Jiangcheng University has a large proportion of female students, and the number of male students is small and feminine, so a team was organized to select players from all grades of the department, and there were barely 8 people. Dong Shiyu also asked He He to bring some female cheerleaders to get to know the students of Agricultural University, and often engage in some social activities, which is even more meritorious to achieve several pairs of good marriages. He He happily accepted it, and laughed that studying animal husbandry and veterinary medicine and studying literature are quite a strange combination, how do they feel like Beauty and the Beast. So in this friendly competition, in addition to the 8 team members of the Chinese Department of Jiangcheng University, there are more than a dozen cheerleaders, He He pulled Wang Danyu to join the cheerleading team, and Fang Jing and several other girls in the journalism class were also among them.

The race is on. On the side of Jiangcheng University, Xiao Zhenyu, Zhong Shan, Guo Zhipeng and others wore red jerseys as the main players, and the other three players served as substitutes. Jiangcheng Agricultural University has a strong lineup, and the five players on the field led by Dong Shiyu are wearing blue jerseys, which are obviously taller and more powerful than the players of Jiangcheng University on the whole, and the five substitutes off the field also look strong and strong. The most surprising thing for the cheerleaders off the court is that the No. 3 player in the Jiangcheng Agricultural University team resembles Zhong Shan, the No. 5 member of the Jiangcheng University team, except that the former's skin is rougher and darker than Zhong Shan, the height and body shape of the two are extremely similar, and even the actions of running, dribbling, shooting, and grabbing rebounds are very similar.

At halftime, He He asked Dong Shiyu: "Old Dong, why does the No. 3 member of your team look so much like Zhongshan of our team?" What's his name? ”

Dong Shiyu said: "I look quite similar, as if I am a long-lost brother." His name is Baoyin, and he is a committee trainee sent to our school by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. ”

Their conversation was listened to by Zhong Shan, who was wiping his sweat on the side, without missing a word. His heart immediately set off a frenzy, and the doubts about his life experience began to become clear again from the haze, and his footsteps involuntarily approached Baoyin. Asked: "Classmates, they all say that we look alike, just hear who is wearing the same clothes as the other, and the shirt collides, and the thing of 'hitting someone' is not often encountered!" ”

"Haha, I look at you like myself in the mirror, but your skin is much fairer and more delicate." Bao Yin spoke with an obvious accent in a place that Zhongshan was not familiar with, and he guessed that the other party must have spoken Mongolian for a long time.

"How many brothers do you have?" Zhong Shan then asked.

"Five, two brothers and two sisters, I am 21 years old, the youngest in the family, and the most beloved one of my parents, brothers and sisters." Bao Yin's speech gives people the feeling of hearty optimism and is quite infectious.

Zhong Shan's heart immediately presented a warm and peaceful scene of a big family of five children and seven people, and he felt even more lonely and lonely.

The game started again, the players on the field fought bravely, the cheerleaders off the field cheered energetically, and dozens of male and female students from the two schools stirred up the scene tense and enthusiastic.

The result of the game was: Jiangcheng Agricultural University team defeated Jiangcheng University team 92-63.

The victors did not show pride, and the losers did not feel discouraged, and everyone shook hands, hugged and took photos, which is the passion and vitality of young friends when they are together. Zhong Shan grabbed Guo Zhipeng again and asked him to take a group photo of himself and Baoyin. In the frame, both of them show their white and neat teeth, and even their bright smiles are exactly the same.
