The opening ceremony of the competition was in the afternoon, and at noon, the team members waited for the bus to pick them up at the hotel after lunch early. The lobby of the Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info hotel was full of students, and Yang Fan judged from the crowd around him that at least five school members were staying in this hotel.

Several buses soon came outside the door, all of which were school buses of Anhui Institute of Engineering Science and Technology. Seeing the bus coming, the coaches and team leaders of various schools, including Mr. Wang, greeted them and communicated with the staff who came down from the bus. Tang Zhenfei followed and went out, but after a while, he reflexively returned to the hall: "Let's go!" Bus No. 3! After saying that, he put on his bag and led everyone to find bus No. 3.

There were no other school players on the bus, and the team members all picked a few seats with better seats to sit down.

"Don't scatter, there are other schools, all sit together." Tang Zhenfei put down his backpack and saw that everyone was picking a seat against the window, so he quickly reminded him.

Although some of the team members had just picked up the seats, they had to lift the butts they had just sat on the chairs and sit next to the other students. Seeing that everyone was seated, Tang Zhenfei also found a place to sit down.

Someone got on the bus again, and this time there were not only players from Hegong University, but also another school. The team members of both schools lined up in order to get on the bus, and after getting on the bus, they all consciously found their own seats and sat next to each other. The bus is not very large, but it is clearly divided into three parts.

Teacher Wang and teachers from other schools also got on the bus, and Tang Zhenfei reserved a seat for Teacher Wang in advance. As soon as Mr. Wang was about to sit down, Mr. Wang of Hegong University shouted in the back row: "Lao Wang, come here, sit next to me." Teacher Wang glanced back, and the old Wang was sitting alone in the last row. Hurry up, don't grind, the old problem hasn't changed. ”

Teacher Wang had no choice but to get up, his slightly chubby figure was a little struggling in the aisle: "What, if you don't have me to press the car for you, do you feel bumpy?" ”

Mr. Wang was very humorous, which caused the whole car to burst into laughter. The two old men did not have the same sternness in front of the students, and now they looked like two children.

Soon, the lead car started and slowly moved forward, and several cars behind followed suitably and drove away from the hotel. Maybe it's because they have rested at noon, and the carriage is quite lively. Liang Lu, who was next to the window, was also like a child who had just entered the city, and when he saw something strange outside the window, he would call Yang Fan to watch it together.

It's just that Yang Fan didn't bother to pay attention to him, coping with two looks, and then with an "oh", he continued to sit in his seat in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. Over time, Liang Lu stopped calling him, and instead called Chen Xiaoyu, who was sitting in front of him. The tempers of these two people are very compatible, and they talk happily.

This section of the road is not long, and the bus stops at the entrance of the gymnasium of Anhui Institute of Engineering Science and Technology in less than 20 minutes. A rainbow door was placed at the entrance of the gymnasium, on which hung a banner that read, "Welcome provincial leaders to visit and inspect." "There are also two large balloons next to it, each with a banner hanging underneath. On the left is written "Develop college basketball and cultivate basketball talents", and on the right it reads: "Have the courage to forge ahead and constantly challenge yourself." ”

Looking at these two banners, Yang Fan suddenly felt a little funny, it's not that there are no basketball talents in colleges and universities, but whether they can really be cultivated or not, even if they are really cultivated, where is the way out in the future?

The players got off the bus in turn, and because they were afraid that people would crowd at the entrance of the stadium, the staff kept reminding everyone to enter the stadium first, and then sit down according to their positions. After the members of the Ontario basketball team gathered and stayed outside, they followed Mr. Wang into the gymnasium.

The sign was still conspicuous, and Mr. Wang quickly found the area of Anhui University, and he divided the students into two vertical rows and stood at the front of the line.

It was not the first time for the teachers from each school to participate in such a competition, and they quickly assembled their teams. Everyone stood in the stadium, quietly waiting for the game to start.

As with most competitions, the opening ceremony began with a speech by the leader, followed by an oath by the athlete and referee representatives. The whole process is boring and lengthy.

After a series of procedures, the leaders of Anhui Institute of Engineering Science and Technology finally said: "Open now!" These two sentences immediately erupted in thunderous applause from the audience. Yang Fan thought it was all over and waited to leave, but found that everyone had no intention of leaving.

"What about the other links?" Yang Fan turned his head and asked Yu Xiaofeng next to him. "Well, draw lots right away." Yu Xiaofeng's answer was very concise and a little cold.

Yang Fan had no choice but to continue to wait.

At this time, the staff had already lifted out a large box similar to a lottery box, and then placed it on the table behind the leader.

"Why wasn't the draw made in advance?" Although Yang Fan was reluctant to ask Yu Xiaofeng again, he still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart. "I don't know, maybe it's fair." Yu Xiaofeng's answer was still concise.

The moderator read out the names of each school in turn according to the list, and the team leaders of each school went to the stage to draw lots after hearing the name of their school. Yang Fan didn't know what order the list was arranged, but Mr. Wang went up early, and the table tennis ball he drew clearly had a capital "B" written on it.

As soon as Mr. Wang handed the table tennis ball he drew to the staff next to him, the staff on the blackboard pasted the name plate of Anhui University on an empty bar under Group B.

The draw went on very quickly, and the blanks below the four teams were quickly filled. Yang Fan was a little short-sighted, although he stood very high, but he still struggled to see all the schools in Group B, Anqing Normal University, Anhui Agricultural University, Hefei University, Bengbu University, Anhui Normal University, Huangshan University, and University of Science and Technology of China.

"Holy! And USTC? Yang Fan was surprised that such a school would have a basketball team, and in his impression, the students of USTC should be nerds who can only read.

Liang Lu turned around: "Look at you rare!" You forgot that when we were in high school, we always lost to key classes, and two of them were admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China this year. ”

Speaking of the key classes of the same grade in high school, it was an eternal pain in Yang Fan's heart, the basketball game of the second and third years of high school. Yang Fan's sixth class lost to the key class for two consecutive years, and his skills were inferior in the second year of high school, and he lost convincingly. In the third year of high school, the class team was determined to win the championship, but because Yang Fan missed the final kill, this became an eternal pain in his heart.

Yang Fan was looking for the location of the University of Science and Technology of China in the stadium, but due to the large size of the stadium and the tall size of everyone, Yang Fan still couldn't find it.

"Which two are you talking about?" Yang Fan asked Liang Lu, who was standing in front.

"Dong Chenglong and Feng Yang."
