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

(Godfathers, hang in there! We're about to eat meat, don't give up!)

The second match is two days later.

Class 101 is indeed much stronger than Class 104. They have players who are substitutes for the school team, and their overall teamwork is better. They are the undisputed favorites in the School of Computer Science!

However, after Coach Zheng's systematic training, Class 103 is no longer the same as before.

This match was tougher than the first, with the score remaining close throughout.

At the crucial moment, Liu Yu stepped forward again.

He scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, including two crucial three-pointers, helping his team secure the victory.

The final score was 106-88, with Class 103 winning again.

In the next two matches, Class 103 swept through the competition, defeating their opponents 92-75 and 88-70 respectively, advancing to the Computer Science Department finals with a perfect record of four wins.

Their opponent in the finals was Class 102, who also had a perfect record of four wins and two very strong players.

The match attracted a large audience.

The computer science department's internal derby, another clash between two undefeated teams, is sure to generate a lot of buzz.

The stadium was packed on the day of the match.

"There are so many people today," Du Peng said, a little nervously.

"Are you scared?" Liu Yu asked.

"I'm not afraid, it's just... with so many spectators, it would be so embarrassing if I didn't perform well."

Liu Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Then let's play well. Think about our training over the past two weeks, think about the fifteen laps we ran every day, think about our sponsorship, we have no reason to lose."

Du Peng nodded emphatically: "That's right! There's no reason for us to lose!"

Su Wanqing and her two companions were still dressed as cheerleaders.

They also mobilized members of the e-sports club, a group of nerdy guys who, although they can't dance, have loud voices.

Senior student Zhao Lin, along with Wen Chao, Xie Tian, ​​and a dozen others, unfurled a banner that read: "Esports is one family, basketball must win too!"

Although it's a bit of a mishmash, it has enough presence.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 65-63, with Class 103 leading by only 2 points.

The fourth quarter begins; the decisive moment has arrived.

Both sides gave it their all.

Every attack was incredibly difficult, and every defense was relentless.

The score fluctuated, with the difference remaining within 3 points.

With two minutes remaining in the game, the score was tied at 82-82.

Class 103 has possession of the ball.

Cai Yuan controls the ball and runs down the clock.

With 10 seconds left on the shot clock, he called for a screen from Liu Yu.

After the pick-and-roll, Liu Yu switched to defend the opposing center.

This is misaligned!

Cai Yuan immediately passed the ball to Liu Yu.

Facing a center who was a head taller than him, Liu Yu did not force a shot. Instead, he made a shooting fake to shake off his opponent, then dribbled one step and pulled up for a jump shot!

Goal!

84:82, Class 103 is in the lead!

There are 1 minutes and 30 seconds left.

In the end, the score was 92:86, and Class 103 won this tough departmental final by 6 points!

"We won! We won!" Du Peng lunged at Liu Yu.

The ten people hugged each other, jumping and shouting.

On the sidelines, Su Wanqing and the other two were already in tears.

The boys from the esports club yelled at the top of their lungs, "103! Awesome! Liu Yu! Awesome!"

Liu Yu found Su Wanqing in the crowd and walked through the crowd towards her.

Su Wanqing also ran towards him.

The two embraced in the center of the court.

"We won."

"I know. I've always known you would win."

"Why are you crying?"

"I'm happy. How could I not be happy when my Majesty is so amazing?"

Liu Yu smiled, cupped her face in his hands, and gently kissed away her tears.

The kiss was light, yet it sent the entire room into a frenzy.

"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!" Du Peng led the chant.

Liu Yu released Su Wanqing and made a "shh" gesture to his teammates.

"Next, it's time to fight for the academy championship."

"Let's do it! Keep it up!" The crowd was in high spirits.

-----------------

Three days after winning the championship within the department.

Counselor Bai Jie led the college leaders to the training hall, followed by two student union officers.

"Students, you've worked hard in training! The college leaders have come to visit you!"

Leading the way was a leader in his fifties, the vice dean of the School of Computer Science, surnamed Zhou.

Dean Zhou smiled and waved, "I heard you're going to represent the academy in the competition, so I've come to cheer you on!"

Du Peng immediately straightened his back: "Thank you, Dean! We will definitely work hard!"

Dean Zhou looked around the training hall and then stared at the supplies on the sidelines.

Ten cases of Evian, two cases of Red Bull, one case of Gatorade, and next to it, a whole case of Yunnan Baiyao spray, ice packs, bandages...

There were also several sets of training clothes and ten pairs of basketball shoe boxes piled up in the corner.

Dean Zhou pointed to the supplies: "These...were all prepared by the academy?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Du Peng blinked, looked at Liu Yu, Liu Yu looked at Su Wanqing, and Su Wanqing pretended to look down at her phone.

Teacher Bai Jie quickly smoothed things over: "Dean, these sponsorships were secured by the team members themselves..."

"Sponsorship? This energy drink, and these shoes???"

Coach Zheng spoke up at the opportune moment: "It's sponsored by Su's Real Estate. Fully sponsored, including equipment, drinking water, medicine, and coaching fees."

Dean Zhou was taken aback: "Su's Real Estate? You mean that Su's Real Estate in northern Beijing?"

"Yes. They are very supportive of student sports activities."

Dean Zhou exclaimed in surprise, "How did you manage to persuade such a real estate tycoon to invest? I remember in previous years, we were lucky to get even 500 yuan from the restaurants near the school gates as sponsorships..."

Du Peng put his arm around Liu Yu's shoulder: "Dean! This is all thanks to Liu Yu!"

Dean Zhou looked at Liu Yu: "Liu Yu? I think I've heard of you before, the one who sang and played the guitar at the welcome party?"

Liu Yu nodded politely: "It's me, Dean."

"Are you connected to Su's Real Estate?"

Du Peng quickly interjected, "It's more than just a connection! Dean, Su Wanqing, the daughter of Su's Real Estate, is our sister-in-law! No, she's Liu Yu's girlfriend!"

Dean Zhou looked in the direction Du Peng pointed.

Su Wanqing was wearing a simple white sweatshirt and jeans today, with her long hair tied in a high ponytail. She was looking down at her phone, but her ears were already red.

Seeing the dean looking over, she had no choice but to raise her head and say, "Hello, Dean."

Dean Zhou suddenly realized: "Student Su...no wonder, no wonder."

Then Dean Zhou turned his gaze to Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, you... have made a huge contribution to the academy."

Liu Yu smiled awkwardly: "It's our duty, Dean. We just want to bring honor to the academy."

"Great! Excellent! With such sponsorship and support, you have even less reason not to work hard! You must showcase the spirit of our Computer Science Department!"

He turned to Bai Jie and said, "Teacher Bai, the academy should also provide support. The academy can cover part of the nutritional allowance during the training period."

Bai Jie nodded: "Okay, Dean."

Dean Zhou looked at the mountain of supplies again and shook his head with a sigh: "Su's Real Estate... a grand gesture, truly a grand gesture."

The leaders offered a few more words of encouragement, left two cases of bottled water prepared by the academy, and then left the training hall.

As soon as the door closed, Du Peng collapsed to the ground: "Oh my god, I was so nervous! I thought the dean was going to say we were being too extravagant!"

Wang Hao picked up a can of Red Bull: "Honestly, I think our setup is too extravagant. Before, when we played basketball, we were lucky to have a bottle of mineral water that cost a dollar. Now we have plenty of Evian and Red Bull..."

Cai Yuan nodded: "Even when my high school team played in the provincial competition, we didn't get this kind of treatment."

Liu Yu looked at Su Wanqing: "Isn't it too much of a waste of money on your dad's side?"

Su Wanqing blinked: "What's the big deal? Sponsoring sports events is a social responsibility that companies should bear. Uncle Wang said that this sponsorship was very effective."

Du Peng got up from the ground: "Sister-in-law, does your company need a spokesperson? I think my image and temperament are perfect for the role!"

Wang Qian grabbed his ear: "You're not suitable at all! People would choose someone like Liu Yu for endorsements!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Qian'er, let go! I was wrong!"

The crowd laughed.

Coach Zheng blew his whistle: "Alright, stop fooling around. Starting today, the training intensity will be increased by 10%!"

"Ah!!!" A chorus of wails erupted.

"What are you 'huh' for! Think about your jerseys, your shoes, the water you drink, the medicine you use... all of this comes at a high price! How can you not play well and live up to all that investment?"

Du Peng immediately stood up straight: "The coach is right! We must live up to the sponsorship from my sister-in-law's family! We must live up to the dean's expectations!"

Training continued, and sweat once again soaked through the jerseys.

But everyone's eyes were more determined than ever before.

A week later, the school's top 32 competition officially began.

The School of Computer Science's first rival: the School of Fine Arts.

The night before the game, the WeChat group for the Class 103 basketball team was buzzing with excitement.

[Du Peng: Brothers! Breaking news! The Academy of Fine Arts men's basketball team only has eight players!]

[Wang Hao: Really? Isn't that a sure win?]

[Zhao Zhiwei: We can't underestimate them. What if they have a hidden expert?]

[Cai Yuan: I've inquired; the male-to-female ratio at the art academy is 1:9. There are already few boys, so it's not easy to gather eight people for the competition.]

[Du Peng: So tomorrow we need to win gracefully! Win with gentlemanly sportsmanship! After all, the opponents are all artists; we need to show the demeanor of engineering guys!]

[Liu Yu: As long as you don't shout "I'm a genius" on the field, you're already showing sportsmanship.]

[Du Peng: Boss, what you're saying... I was just giving myself a positive affirmation!]

The next afternoon, at the gymnasium.

When Liu Yu's Xiangbei team was warming up, the stands were already full of people.

Moreover, 70% of them are girls.

Du Peng glanced at the stands: "What's going on? Why are there so many spectators today?"

Su Wanqing, Wang Qian, and Jiang Shan were still wearing their cheerleading outfits today, making them stand out in the crowd.

Wang Qian glanced at the opposite stands and clicked her tongue in amazement: "Wow, did the Academy of Fine Arts bring all the girls from the academy?"
