"Is this a hallucination?"

Chen Ze rested his chin on his hand and waved his other hand in front of his eyes, but the panel did not disappear.

"Great! Chen Ze is the first to agree to join our class basketball team!"

The squad leader's slightly excited voice suddenly rang out.

All the students' eyes were drawn to Chen Ze.

Chen Ze pulled himself back to reality and remembered that the class monitor was forming a basketball team to prepare for the grade-level basketball tournament in two weeks.

"Ze-ge, you can't even dribble the ball properly, how dare you raise your hand?"

Chen Ze’s roommate Zhang Chun, who was sitting next to him, quickly nudged Chen Ze with his elbow.

The look in his eyes was like that of someone looking at a patient who had taken the wrong medication.

The guy in their dorm, who was known for his poor physical fitness and shortest stature, actually signed up for the basketball game. If he hadn't taken the wrong medication, he seriously suspected that this guy had taken some action this morning, which had made him out of his mind.

Chen Ze felt somewhat helpless. He didn't mean to, but reaching out caused a misunderstanding.

"Can I back out?"

"No, please don't!" Zhang Chun hurriedly stopped him. "You know our class monitor. He seems all friendly on the surface, but if he thinks you're playing a trick on him, you might end up in the homeroom teacher's office."

Chen Ze recalled his homeroom teacher's habit of making people write self-criticisms at the drop of a hat, and managed to suppress the urge to go back on his word.

At this moment, Zhang Chun looked at him with pity in his eyes.

"Poor thing, with our class monitor's serious personality, if you sign up, he'll definitely train you hard, and he'll be very strict."

"It can't be that bad."

"Basketball is his greatest love, don't you think?"

Chen Ze remained silent.

Zhang Chun quickly patted Chen Ze on the shoulder.

"Good brother, do you think I'd just stand by and watch you go to your death?"

"You want to join too?" Chen Ze was overjoyed.

Zhang Chun shook his head. "What I want to say is that I will close my eyes."

Chen Ze wanted to slap him, but he held back. He casually pointed at the other man's coat and asked, "When did you buy this coat? I've never seen you wear it before."

Zhang Chun looked smug. "How about it? Don't you think all the girls in our class are looking this way after I put this on?"

"You look pretty handsome." Chen Ze nodded. "But why is there a hole under your armpit?"

"where?"

"Right hand."

Zhang Chun's heart tightened. This was his favorite coat. Without thinking, he subconsciously raised his elbow and looked under his armpit.

"Great, Zhang Chun, welcome to our basketball team as the second member."

"I..." Zhang Chun gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Ze, spitting out a single word through gritted teeth.

"Hold!"

After the class meeting ended, the class monitor had only managed to gather five members, with no substitutes available.

"Let's create a group chat so we can notify you during training," the squad leader said, explaining the upcoming training plan as he created the group.

All four teammates were distracted, each with their own thoughts.

In fact, they knew very well that if the school hadn't required every class to participate in the competition, the basketball team would never have been formed.

Winning only rewards you with some daily necessities and doesn't give you any academic credits, but losing is embarrassing in front of the entire grade.

Instead of wasting this time, I'd rather go back to my dorm and play a couple of rounds of Zen.

That's what Zhang Chun was thinking. At this moment, his mind was completely on the computer in his dormitory.

Chen Ze, however, stared intently at the top of the class monitor's head, seemingly lost in thought.

He was certain that the panel was real and that only he could see it.

Besides the control panel, there's also a blue text label above the class monitor's head: [Basketball]

He had just glanced at the other students, and none of them had such words above their heads.

"Chen Ze, do you have any more questions?" Seeing the other person staring at him in a daze, class monitor Zhou Tong asked with a smile.

Chen Ze had a guess in his mind, so he said, "Class monitor, actually I can't play basketball."

"I can testify to that," Zhang Chun immediately interjected. He thought Chen Ze was going to back out and reveal his hand. If that were the case, his good brother would have to follow suit.

Zhou Tong's smile faded slightly. "So you want to quit?"

"No." Chen Ze shook his head.

"What is that?"

"I'd like to learn to play ball with you. I don't have class this afternoon, can you teach me?"

Zhang Chun looked on in astonishment. "Aze, are you serious?"

Zhou Tong's expression relaxed, and his smile returned.

"Don't worry, as long as you're willing to learn, I'll teach you everything I know!"

After saying that, he looked at the other three, "You too."

The three of them shivered simultaneously.

"Squad leader, I have something to do this afternoon."

My girlfriend is waiting for me.

Zhang Chun recalled the teachers in the study materials, "Me too."

The class monitor knew the three of them fairly well, having encountered them while playing basketball before, and knew they had some skill, so he didn't say anything and let them leave.

Before leaving, Zhang Chun did not forget to show his concern.

"Take it easy. You don't usually like to exercise, so you need to train gradually."

Hearing this rare human word, Chen Ze nodded.

Basketball court.

Squad leader Zhou Tong handed Chen Ze a ball and took one for himself.

"Let's start with the most basic dribbling."

When it comes to playing ball, the class monitor kept his word. He not only taught Chen Ze the correct training methods, but also passed on all his experience.

Chen Ze listened attentively and remembered everything.

However, sports require talent, which he unfortunately lacked.

The ball bounced wildly in his hands, dropping after only two dribbles, wasting half his time retrieving it.

Zhou Tong didn't say anything on the surface, but he was really worried. If he continued to train like this, he would be so weak that he would break at the slightest touch on the day of the competition.

Basketball - Beginner (9/100)

Chen Ze practiced with exceptional seriousness, even when he made a mistake, he still followed the correct method to bounce the ball.

Sure enough, just as the panel described, as long as he practiced step by step, his proficiency really did increase.

An hour later.

Basketball - Beginner (69/100)

The fact that hard work pays off filled Chen Ze with motivation.

It turns out that exercise is not a bad thing after all.

Seeing Chen Ze practicing so mechanically, Zhou Tong became increasingly worried.

It's worth noting that when he first started playing basketball, he mastered all the dribbling techniques within an hour and developed his own dribbling style.

In contrast, Chen Ze only rigidly imitates his dribbling. Although he looks more and more skilled, it is just imitation. In real games, you need to be able to adapt to the situation.

It seems unlikely that the opponent will figure out how to handle the ball before the match.

"Let's start with dribbling like this. You can practice more later. I'll teach you how to shoot first."

Zhou Tong decided to change his approach; he might not have a talent for dribbling, but he might have a talent for shooting.

"Come on, watch me. First, stand at the top of the three-point line, hold the ball like this, bend your hips and knees, use your ankles to power the shot!"

brush!

The basketball swished through the hoop in a perfect arc.

Next, it was Chen Ze's turn.

Following the method taught by the class monitor, he raised the ball, with his forearm and upper arm at a 90-degree angle. As the ball passed his forehead, he bent his hips and knees, and with the power of his ankles, he threw the ball.

The shot was accurate, heading straight for the basket, but plummeted rapidly when it was still 30 centimeters from the rim.

This situation is generally referred to as "three no-sticks".

"It's alright, this shot was a little weak, just use more power on the next one," Zhou Tong quickly reassured him, at least this shot was pretty accurate.

On the next shot, Chen Ze threw the ball with all his might, but it went so wide that it didn't even touch the backboard.

"It's alright, let's try again," Zhou Tong comforted him.

Chen Ze felt a warmth in his heart. His class monitor was a really good person. He needed to practice even harder.

After thirty goals.

Faced with a scoreless record, Zhou Tong looked somewhat distressed.

Now, it can be concluded that Chen Ze really has no talent for playing basketball.

Anyone with a bit of talent could guess one or two numbers, even if it's just a fluke.

The class monitor, who was originally full of confidence in the basketball game, now only expects to avoid coming in last place.

At this moment, several of his friends came over.

Zhou Tong went up to them, eager to play a game with his friends immediately.

Chen Ze saw through their thoughts and said, "Class monitor, you guys go have fun, I'll practice by myself."

Although Zhou Tong felt guilty, he had no choice but to accept that the other party was truly not a promising talent.

Anyway, I've taught you everything I could; the rest is up to you.

"Okay, feel free to ask me anytime if you encounter any problems."

"it is good."

After giving his instructions, Zhou Tong left with several fellow golfers.

They had walked quite a distance before one of them spoke:

"When did you become a coach?"

Zhou Tong looked helpless. "There's nothing we can do. That's just how it is in our class. We almost couldn't even get all five of us together."

"Let me make this clear: if our two classes run into each other, I won't go easy on you, my teammate."

"I already foresaw how many points this guy would rack up by taking advantage of your teammates if you ran into him."

"There's no way around it, every class is required to watch the basketball game. All the girls in the grade will be there, so if you perform well, you might have a chance to find a boyfriend."

......

Chen Ze was panting heavily. He thought dribbling was the most physically demanding part, but he didn't expect shooting to be even more tiring, because he had to spend most of his time retrieving the ball back and forth.

Despite being tired, he persisted in practicing.

After an unknown amount of time, as he threw his last shot before exhaustion, the ball went into the basket.

Hollow.
