I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 187 "Meng Guangkang - dismissed!!!" (6000 words, first update)
"Gu Jie has voted again!" Liu Wenxiao looked excited.

Although it was still the New Year's Day holiday, there was almost everyone in the Youzi Technology office. When Gu Jie resigned, they all cheered excitedly.

That’s right, you can work overtime on holidays on your own initiative and you don’t have to pay a penny for overtime pay. It’s a great profit.

Liu Wenxiao does not know Go and has only a vague understanding of the rules, but this time he participated in the data enhancement work of Orange's large model 0.12 in the adversarial network. Seeing Orange defeat the current number one Go player twice, Liu Wenxiao also felt proud.

"Yes, I voted again." Hua Zecheng sighed with a very complicated expression on his face.

Unlike Liu Wenxiao, Hua Zecheng is a half-Go enthusiast and sometimes looks at game records.

The more fans you are, the more you understand what this battle means.

Following chess, Go, the last stronghold of mankind in board games and the pinnacle of human intelligence, has finally been broken by artificial intelligence.

This also means that in the near future, there may be more and more fields where humans will be replaced by artificial intelligence.

Will there be a day when the human species itself will be replaced by AI?

Hua Zecheng suddenly realized that as a person who was engaged in artificial intelligence and an AI researcher who dreamed of creating strong artificial intelligence every day, when he actually incubated an artificial intelligence with his own hands and watched it defeat humans in the field where humans were best, his first reaction was not excitement, but fear.

"Teacher Hua, have you discovered that the decision-making and search mechanism used by Orange in the adversarial network self-play training and actual competitions is not MCTS, but it does not face the limitation of dimensionality explosion and computing resources?"

MCTS is Monte Carlo Tree Search, a heuristic search algorithm for decision-making processes proposed ten years ago, especially suitable for board games.

Almost everyone who does artificial intelligence research knows that if there is an artificial intelligence that can beat humans in the field of Go, it must use MCTS, otherwise the computer's computing power will not be able to meet the changes of a 19*19 chessboard.

There are many deep learning algorithms now, and MCTS is a very important component.

In the frenetic atmosphere of the office, Lu Si's expression remained calm. He stared at the screen, analyzing the analytical decision-making mechanism adopted by the Orange Big Model in the two rounds of games.

Hearing Lu Si's question, Hua Zecheng came back to his senses and bent down to look for a while: "Indeed, Orange's decision-making mechanism seems to be more direct. Instead of performing a full-game calculation simulation for each step, a probability is preset in advance. Then, the calculation is performed based on this probability, which can greatly reduce the amount of calculation."

"The problem is how this probability is given." Lu Si pointed at the screen. "I still don't quite understand the convergence process here. I plan to ask my boss tomorrow."

As they were talking, they saw Lu Jiayan and Shen Shuyao coming down from upstairs, talking and laughing, with two large bags in their hands filled with balloons, trumpets and other things.

"Teacher Hua, Sister Lu Si, we're leaving first." Shen Shuyao greeted the two with a smile.

"Are you guys...having an event at school?" Lu Si turned his head to take a look.

Lu Si has a pretty good relationship with the two of them.

Shen Shuyao is good at dancing with long sleeves, while Lu Jiayan is a natural naiveté. Although one of them is in human resources and the other in charge of finance, neither of them is a popular position, but the one in human resources does not stop doing human resources, and the one in charge of finance does not withhold money. What's more, they are all beautiful women, so they are naturally popular.

"Yes, Fang Yu has a basketball game at Donghai Gymnasium in the afternoon. We will organize some classmates to cheer him on. Do you want to go with us?" Shen Shuyao shook her little hands and clapped, making applause sounds.

After that, Shen Shuyao added to the others, "Today, many girls from National University went to the scene to cheer. It is said that Jinda even brought a cheerleading team from Yingzhou for the UBA League."

Except for Lu Si, there is no woman in the technical team of Youzi Technology. They are all single guys working on data and algorithms. When they heard about the cheerleading team of Yingzhou Jinda, they became a little restless.

Yingzhou's cheerleaders! The cheerleaders dancing with their thighs exposed on the field!
Soft and sweet cheerleaders!

UBA girls!

Yingzhou is an integral part of the Great Zhou territory!

Moreover, the two beauties of Yuzu were also going to watch the game, which made them want to go even more.

These days, these tech geeks have been chatting privately about Shen Shuyao and Lu Jiayan, and many of them have even sent their photos to their various WeChat groups to brag about them.

The motivation for many people to go to work every day is to be in the same office with them.

Hua Zecheng is actually not married. People call him Teacher Hua because he used to be a teacher and has a high status in the industry. But he is actually not very old and is only 32 years old this year.

"Lu Si, you've been busy for several days. Do you want to take the team over to watch? I see everyone wants to go." Hua Zecheng tried hard to make an expression that said, "I don't want to see the cheerleaders but to satisfy the team's wishes," and persuaded Lu Si to go watch the game as well.

"Go watch a game?" Lu Si was stunned at first, then something happened to him. It just so happened that he still had some questions to ask Fang Yu. If he finished the game, maybe he could solve the problem today.

However, if Shen Shuyao hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have remembered that this genius who created the world's first artificial intelligence was just a sophomore.

I always forget this.

Youzi Technology now has five Buick business top-end vehicles, all of which were used to offset taxes for spring tours and then loaned to Youzi Technology for free.

Hua Zecheng and Lu Si are both equipped with separate cars, and others can apply for use at any time if they need it.

Lu Si and Hua Zecheng both have driver's licenses. They each drove a car and took the office workers who came to work overtime today, and followed the navigation to the Donghai Gymnasium.

Donghai Gymnasium is a dedicated basketball venue and one of the two home stadiums of the Haixi team in the CBA league. It can accommodate more than 5,000 spectators.

"There are quite a few students from National University who come to watch the game." Hua Zecheng was a little surprised as soon as he entered the stadium.

Half of the stadium, which can accommodate more than 5,000 spectators, was closed off, leaving less than 3,000 seats. The occupancy rate of these 3,000 seats was over 60%.

Generally speaking, for this kind of college competition, even for CUBA, few people watch the competitions except for important competitions such as the divisional semifinals and finals or the national semifinals.

It's just an inter-school invitational tournament, not a league, so why are there so many people?

Moreover, many of them look quite old, so why would they still come to watch this kind of competition?

However, there are really a lot of girls in the national university, and the quality is pretty good, not as bad as the legend says.

Hua Zecheng didn't know that this was mainly due to the merger of the National University with the Academy of Social Sciences last year. Most of the beautiful students could not get into the National University.

Under the guidance of Shen Shuyao, a dozen people from Youzi Technology sat in the dozen or so seats reserved in the first row.

First, the leaders of both sides spoke. The status of both sides was very high, including the president of the National University and the first vice president sent by Jinan University. Then, student representatives spoke. The speeches had been reviewed in advance, so there were no unexpected incidents.

When they entered the gymnasium, there was warm air inside. Shen Shuyao, Lu Jiayan and a dozen other National University girls had already changed into basketball vests and shorts printed with the National University logo. They held balloon sticks and claps and acted as cheerleaders, cheering for National University on the sidelines.

On the opposite side, there were 11 young girls from the National Cheerleading Team who were dressed more scantily and whose average quality far exceeded that of the other girls except Lu Jiayan and Shen Shuyao. They were holding white trumpets, showing off their beautiful figures and cheering for Jin Da.

"Huh? Why isn't my cousin on the court? He's sitting on the sidelines?" As soon as the players from both teams came on the court, Lu Jiayan noticed something was wrong.

The video of Fang Yu completely defeating Li Haidong on the day of the review competition had already spread in various national groups. Many students who follow CUBA are still cheering. Li Haidong + Fang Yu, this year's CUBA is secure.

It is understandable that Li Haidong did not play as he is a sports student. But why didn’t Fang Yu play?
Shen Shuyao didn't understand basketball, but she understood the ways of the world. When she saw the expressions of Fang Yu, Meng Guangkang and many other players, she knew that something must have gone wrong before.

At this moment, Shen Shuyao's cell phone rang. She picked it up and took a look. She was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help laughing.

The starting players of both teams came on the court.

Fang Yu sat on the bench, crossed her legs, put her arm around Liu Ka-shing's shoulders, and looked relaxed.

Meng Guangkang was not so relaxed. The moment he saw Jinda's starting lineup, his face turned black.

His face was as dark as that of the starting power forward at Jinda.

"Shameless! This is a violation! We agreed that only ordinary undergraduates can attend! Is this Tama an ordinary student? Tang An? Tama and Zhou Wenming?" If the school leaders had not been here, Meng Guangkang would have started cursing long ago.

Even so, Meng Guangkang quickly found the director of the Sports Department who was present to report the situation.

The director of the sports department was also sulking. It was clearly agreed before the game that special admissions would not be allowed. Was Jinda University being unethical?
You said that Jinan University doesn't have any special admissions, so we can't enroll in special admissions either. Ok, no problem. So what's the matter with this sunshine rainbow little white horse?

You can't suffer in silence.

The director of the athletic department turned around and went to find Jinda's head coach.

Within five minutes, the director of the sports department returned to the national rest area with a gloomy face.

"This guy's name is Amari Thomas. He took a Zhou Wen name called Tang An. He is an international student from Miami and was admitted to Jinan University through normal examinations. So they are not violating the rules. Moreover, they said that the list of names had been reported to us a long time ago, and we did not raise any objections before. The game is about to start, so it is impossible for them to change players."

"Why didn't you figure it out in advance? There are only twelve people on the player list, how could they be missed?" The director of the Sports Department pointed at Meng Guangkang and criticized him.

Meng Guangkang was speechless.

Can I be blamed for this? The main players on the list they submitted are all on the list, only Tang An is a new addition, and he is at the end of the list. Moreover, who would know from his name that he likes picking cotton?
The five starting players of the national team were also confused.

What's going on? Why is there a big black guy here? How can we fight him?
It’s not that they don’t have ambition, it’s mainly because in basketball, the Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse’s dominance is too strong, basically a cliff-like lead, and the more amateur the field, the greater the gap.

There is no way. The mass base of basketball is different and the degree of importance is also different.

In fact, there are many so-called streetball kings in Da Zhou who went to Miami to play streetball with the local community young white horses. The level gap is even greater than the gap between the Da Zhou team and the Dream Team.

Moreover, if the big black guy who suddenly appeared at this time had no strength, he would not be allowed to play.

Sure enough, as soon as the referee blew the whistle, the five starting players of Guoli began to be beaten badly.

Tang An is 1.9 meters tall and has muscles all over his body. He is only two centimeters shorter than Jinan University's starting center. In fact, he basically takes care of the jobs of the three positions: small forward, power forward, and center.

In addition, Jinda's ace players Wu Pinrui and Lin Dongyan are no pushovers. Lin Dongyan's technical and tactical abilities are only slightly inferior to Lin An's, but Wu Pinrui is obviously much stronger than his opponent Li Dongdong.

In the first ten minutes of the first quarter, Guoli basically didn't grab a single rebound. If it weren't for the fact that the level of the other two players from Jinda University was indeed inferior to that of Guoli, Guoli would not have scored a single point.

"Bang!" Tang An made a heavy dunk, ending the score of the first quarter.

25: 6!

The bright red score was displayed on six large screens on the sidelines.

The stadium was completely silent except for Jin Da's laughter.

Before Jin Da left the court, he deliberately bumped the national players with his shoulder. Wu Pinrui even gave the national players a thumbs down sign with a cocky look on his face.

"Coach Meng, this won't work. We can't defend him at all." Hu Weichao complained. "Yes, coach, we must find a way to replace him with someone who can at least compete with him physically." Qin Duanzhi lifted his jersey to wipe the sweat off his face. He was just short of directly suggesting to Meng Guangkang to replace Fang Yu.

Just now, as a center, he had to face off against Tang An many times when neither the small forward nor the big forward could defend Tang An alone, which consumed a lot of physical energy. But through the contact in the past few days before the game, he felt that this Tang An's physical fitness should not be as abnormal as Fang Yu. If Fang Yu were to play, he should at least be able to greatly limit Tang An's performance.

By then, National University will have an advantage over Jinda University in other positions. Even if the gap in the past cannot be narrowed, at least they will not lose so badly.

Meng Guangkang's face turned pale.

"If I'm not allowed to play, Guoli will suffer a crushing defeat." Fang Yu said quietly, swinging his legs.

"Hmph!" Meng Guangkang glanced at Fang Yu with disdain.

You go? Even if you are better than the others, are you better than that black guy?
Your score on the grading sheet isn’t high enough, so you can’t go in!
Meng Guangkang gritted his teeth and ignored Fang Yu. He replaced a power forward and asked the power forward and center to double-team Tang An at all times to prevent him from getting hurt.

Several team members, who were still sweating profusely in the middle of winter, surrounded Meng Guangkang and were not even in the mood to glance at the cheerleading performance on the field.

As agreed at the beginning, UBA Girls started the cheerleading performance in the first quarter.

There are four quarters in total, with a five-minute break between periods and a ten-minute halftime break.

The cheerleaders danced for three minutes on the field and then waved their hands as they left the field. There were actually a few male students from the National University in the audience who cheered for them.

"Jingyi, did you see that just now? Wu Pinrui is so handsome and his shooting is so accurate." A sweet-looking cheerleader quietly poked her companion next to her.

The female companion named Jingyi laughed and said, "Lin Jiating, are you trying to hook up with Yandusan again? Wu Pinrui is good, but Tang An is still better." (Note 1)

Lin Jiating's sweet face showed a trace of disgust and fear: "It's too dark, I don't want it!"

Jingyi smiled and said, "You'll know once you try it, it's really awesome, a hamster eating a banana~"

Lin Jiating giggled and shook her head, and suddenly she felt someone bumped into her. Turning around, she saw that a handsome guy who had been sitting on the national bench was passing by her.

"Hey, this handsome guy is not bad. He is taller than Wu Pinrui and almost the same height as Tang An. Why didn't Guoli let him play?" Lin Jiating whispered curiously to his companions.

Jingyi shook her head with disdain: "If he can't play, it means he's not strong enough. Besides, they're so weak. The score was 25:6 in the first quarter. They probably won't even get 20 points in the whole game. Huh? Why is he running onto the court?"

Fang Yu just picked up a basketball from the sidelines, patted it twice, and started running.

"Bang!" One-handed dunk!
Several members of Jinda's team turned their attention.

"It's just a trifle. What's the point of just being able to dunk? He's just a substitute player. Don't watch him."

"Huh? Was his gesture just now meant to be provocative?"

"It seems like there will be more deductions?"

"Bang!" Turn 360 degrees!
"He has pretty good jumping ability. How ridiculous! He's just a substitute, but he dares to provoke us. We just beat their main players 25:6."

"Bang!" Back-to-the-basket dunk!
"..."

Before the players officially came on the court, Fang Yu made three consecutive dunks, attracting the attention of everyone in the stadium.

"Hey! Look, Fang Yu is dunking!"

"What does it matter if you dunk well? You still can't play, right?"

"It's right not to let him play. He's not a professional and hasn't practiced for long. Just a short video can't prove anything."

"Li Haidong may not agree with what you say."

"Stop arguing, he seems to want to dunk again? Why does it feel like he's holding his breath?"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Fang Yu dribbled the ball a few times quickly, took off quickly from outside the free throw line, leaped high, and slammed the ball into the basket!
"Bang!!!!!!!"

"Crack, crack, snap!"

The backboard made of polymethyl methacrylate shattered after a struggle and twist!

Wow~
There was an uproar in the stadium.

He actually broke the backboard! ?
Only O'Neal has done this kind of thing, right?

If the first three slam dunks could be considered fancy moves, then the final slam dunk that broke the backboard was far beyond everyone present's understanding of strength!

With this kind of absolute strength, even a layman who has only practiced basketball for ten days should be the absolute main force in this kind of game!
Just relying on physical defense, you can kill the opponent's ace player!

The players and coaches of Jinda University, who had just been making sarcastic remarks, now had mouths so big that a tea egg could be stuffed into each of them.

"It must be because the quality of their rebounds is too poor." After a long time, a player from Jinda University muttered in a low voice.

"Yes, that's right!"

"If he is really that good, why would their coach not let him play?"

Yes, why didn’t Meng Guangkang let him play?

The school leaders present also asked the director of the Sports Department this question. The director was sweating and thought to himself, how would I know why Meng Guangkang didn't let this player play?
If it was just because the other side fielded a small white horse, even if the National University suffered a crushing defeat, the Sports Department and Meng Guangkang could completely shift the blame.

But if the team already has strong players but the coach refuses to let them play, resulting in a humiliating defeat, then the problem is much more serious.

Before Fang Yu walked off the court, he stopped in the middle of the field and made a gesture of pinching his little finger towards the Jinda bench.

"This is the last chance, seize it, Coach Meng." Fang Yu walked in front of Meng Guangkang and said condescendingly.

Meng Guangkang was so angry that three blue veins popped out on his neck.

Too arrogant! Too arrogant! Too arrogant!

Apart from Meng Guangkang, the people who have the biggest headache are the staff at the Donghai Gymnasium.

Fortunately, we had a spare backboard, so we quickly sent a maintenance worker to replace it and clean the scene. Otherwise, how could we continue playing?

It's such a beast!

He actually broke the backboard with one dunk. How much strength does it take?

Although our backboard is still an old-fashioned one, its load-bearing capacity is definitely over 300 kilograms. This guy doesn't look that heavy, so how did he break it?
We have to ask Guoli for compensation!
Meng Guangkang was also confused by Fang Yu's "bad words". The break was extended for 20 minutes because of the broken backboard. During the break, the director of the Sports Department sent him a WeChat message, asking him to make a substitution quickly, but he ignored it.

After the scene was cleaned up and the second quarter began, all the national audience present found that it was the same players who had just come on the court, and the one who came on was not Fang Yu who had dunked the backboard.

What is this stupid coach thinking?

Meng Guangkang's eyes were red and his teeth were almost broken. He had only one thought in his mind - as long as I'm here, you can't go on stage!
As a result, Fang Yu's provocation just now worked. At the beginning of the game, Wu Pinrui dunked hard under Tang An's cover, and then he scored all the time. In just three minutes, it was a 10-0 climax.

The live score has reached 35-6.

Basically the overall situation has been decided and it will be useless to change anyone.

There was silence in the Donghai Gymnasium.

Just at this moment, a girl at the scene suddenly shouted.

"Change to Fang Yu!"

"Change to Fang Yu!"

"Change to Fang Yu!"

Then, the classmates around her also started shouting, and in just a few seconds, the shouts resounded throughout the entire venue!

"Change to Fang Yu!!!"

"Change to Fang Yu!!!"

"Change to Fang Yu!!!"

Meng Guangkang stood on the sidelines, his arms folded across his chest, his face ashen and his lips tightly pursed.

What do you guys know? According to my scoring table, he shouldn't be on the court! As long as we stick to my way, even if we fail this time, the national basketball team will only get stronger!
You short-sighted amateurs!
Do you understand what team management is?

The cheers in the stadium became louder and louder. No one knew when it started, and no one knew who led the cheers, but the cheers gradually changed from "Replace Fang Yu".

became--

"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"

"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"

"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"

"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"

"Meng Guangkang! get out of class dismissed!"
