On the first day of school, the school beauty in black stockings took me to a hotel.

A dinner party after training sessions has become a regular occurrence.

Su Wanqing kept her word and treated everyone to meals after training every day, including barbecue, hot pot, and BBQ.

The ten young men were fed until they were rosy-cheeked, and although they didn't gain weight, their muscles became much more toned.

This continued for another two weeks.

After two weeks of intensive training, the basketball team of Class 103 has been completely transformed.

Although they are far from being professional, they at least look like a team, and their tactical coordination is quite decent.

Finally, the day arrived for the basketball game to officially begin.

On the first day of the competition, the gymnasium of Tsinghua and Peking Universities was bustling with activity.

The basketball tournament is a traditional event between Tsinghua and Peking Universities, held every autumn and divided into three stages.

First, there was an internal round-robin tournament within each department to determine the department champion.

Then comes the competition between the colleges to determine the college champion.

Finally, there will be the school-wide finals to compete for the annual championship.

Six classes from the Computer Science Department participated in the competition. Class 103's opponent in the first round was Class 104.

The match is scheduled for 4 p.m.

At 2:30, all members of Class 103 had arrived at the gymnasium locker room.

"Are you nervous?" Su Wanqing asked, adjusting Liu Yu's jersey.

"A bit. It's been a long time since I've played in an official match."

"What are you afraid of? You're 'Mitsui Hisashi of No. 1 Middle School,' you've even played in city-level competitions, why would you be afraid of this kind of class match?"

"That's different. Back then you were playing for the school, now you're playing for the class, and besides, you're watching from down here."

"What's wrong with me watching from below? Am I going to eat people?"

"You'll distract me. It's so beautiful."

Su Wanqing punched him lightly: "You're such a smooth talker!"

From the locker room came Du Peng's booming voice: "Are you all ready? Time to come in and warm up!"

Su Wanqing took two steps back: "Yes, perfect. Go, Your Majesty."

Liu Yu took a deep breath and pushed open the locker room door.

The sight of ten people walking into the stadium in a line caused quite a stir.

Simply put, this outfit is too eye-catching.

The team wore professional Shohoku uniforms, matching basketball shoes, and everyone also wore wristbands and headbands.

It was all sponsored by Su's Real Estate, and the quality was obviously excellent.

"Damn, Class 103 really went all out!" someone in the audience murmured.

"I heard they secured sponsorship from Su's Real Estate; the entire set of equipment was sponsored."

"Su's Real Estate? Which real estate company? Why would they sponsor a student competition?"

"Didn't you know? Liu Yu from Class 103 has Su Wanqing as his girlfriend, and Su's Real Estate belongs to her family."

"Holy crap! Really? He's just living off a woman!"

"What do you mean by 'living off a woman'? He found his girlfriend through his own abilities. Besides, Liu Yu himself is quite good. He's a top student from Tsinghua and Peking University, and he can sing. He sang 'Simple Love' at the freshman welcome party."

"Oh, it was him! That makes sense..."

Amidst the discussions, Class 103 began their warm-up.

Dribbling, layup, and shooting—their movements were synchronized and well-trained.

The opposing team, Class 104, looked over here with complicated expressions.

Their equipment was much more shabby, with miscellaneous jerseys and shoes of all kinds, making them look like a hastily assembled team.

"Damn it, so what if you have money!" muttered a member of Class 104.

"Having money makes you great. Look at their sneakers, and then look at ours. It's like comparing apples and oranges."

"Don't boost others' morale and diminish your own! Basketball is about skill, not equipment!"

That being said, they had already lost the battle in terms of momentum.

The student referee blew his whistle: "The match is about to begin! Both teams, enter the field!"

Ten players took to the court. Liu Yu played shooting guard, Du Peng power forward, Cai Yuan point guard, Zhao Zhiwei center, and Wang Hao small forward.

Before leaving the field, Coach Zheng gave his final instructions: "Remember the tactics! Pass the ball more, attack less one-on-one, and mark your man on defense!"

"clear!"

The referee tosses the ball into the air, and the game begins!

Zhao Zhiwei, standing at 1.89 meters tall, is the tallest on the team. He easily jumps onto the ball and passes it to Cai Yuan.

Cai Yuan dribbled the ball across half-court and observed his teammates' positions.

Liu Yu ran to an open spot on the right side of the three-point line and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

"Liu Yu!" Cai Yuan delivered a bounce pass.

Liu Yu received the ball, jumped without hesitation, and shot!

The basketball traced a beautiful arc.

"Whoosh!"

Hollow into the network!

3: 0!

"Great shot!" Cheers erupted from the sidelines.

Su Wanqing, Wang Qian, and Jiang Shan were also dressed appropriately for the occasion today.

The three girls were all dressed in red and white cheerleading outfits, short skirts, crop tops, and cute headbands.

They held colorful balls in their hands, waving them vigorously every time Class 103 scored a goal.

"Liu Yu! Go for it! 103! Go for it!" Su Wanqing's voice was the clearest.

The match is underway.

Class 104 was clearly caught off guard by Class 103's strong start and lost their composure.

Their attack was rushed, and their passing was poor, allowing Class 103 to launch a counter-attack.

Although Du Peng's skills are still rough, his enthusiasm is undeniable.

He pressed the court like a mad dog, fighting for steals and rebounds.

"Du Peng! Well done!" Wang Qian shouted from the sidelines.

Encouraged by the previous comment, Du Peng became even more motivated. In the next possession, he forcefully snatched the rebound from his opponent and roared like Sakuragi Hanamichi, "I'm a genius!"

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Even the referee couldn't help but laugh.

Du Peng passed the ball to Liu Yu, who quickly advanced, made a crossover to get past the defender, broke into the paint, and launched a floater before the opposing center could block it.

The ball hits the backboard and goes into the basket.

5: 0.

Class 104 called a pause.

Coach Zheng gave each player a high-five on the sidelines: "Well done! Keep it up! Tighten your defense and play more teamwork on offense!"

On the other side, the coach of Class 104, who was actually their sports representative, was jumping up and down in a panic.

"What are you guys playing! You're being led by the nose! Defend! Mark your man!"

"Coach, they're too fast..."

"Hurry up and keep up! Are legs just for show?"

The timeout has ended, and the game has resumed.

Class 104 adjusted their tactics and started attacking the inside.

Their center is also 1.85 meters tall and stronger than Zhao Zhiwei. He forcefully attacked the paint, drew a foul, and made one of two free throws, finally getting the job done.

5: 1.

But Class 103 quickly retaliated. Cai Yuan and Zhao Zhiwei executed a beautiful pick-and-roll, with Cai Yuan driving to the basket and passing to Zhao Zhiwei, who then scored a layup.

7: 1.

The first quarter ended with a score of 28-15, with Class 103 leading by 13 points.

"Well played! Keep it up in the second quarter, but be careful with your energy. Du Peng, you can come off the bench for a rest. Li Ning, you're in."

"Huh? I only played one section..." Du Peng said reluctantly.

Liu Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Listen to the coach. There are still matches to come."

Du Peng then obediently left the field.

In the second quarter, Class 103 brought in their rotation lineup. Zhang Chunli, Li Ning, Qin Haoyu, Fang Beichen, and Li Xuan took to the court.

This lineup is clearly not as strong as the starting lineup, but it has the advantage of having plenty of stamina.

Coach Zheng's requirements were clear: defend, slow down the pace, and prevent the opponent from catching up.

When Class 104 saw that the opposing team had substituted their substitutes, they thought their chance had come and launched a fierce attack.
