The students eagerly awaited, and then came the physical education class.
The weather was fine today, so the P.E. class was naturally held on the sports field.
The P.E. teacher was a man in his thirties named Luo Shan. It was evident he worked out regularly, with arms as thick as anything.
"Class! Greetings, teacher!"
"Hello, students."
Luo Shan, a whistle hanging around his neck, looked at the energetic students with a smile. "Alright, today we'll start by running 1000 meters. Ready!"
"One, two, one..."
Luo Shan led the way, with the students from Class One trailing behind him, running rather haphazardly.
After a kilometer, most of them were a little out of breath. Some of the heavier students were gasping for air, sweat pouring down their faces.
"Today, I had originally planned for you to have free activity. However, the school basketball competition is approaching, and the school wants us to practice basketball. So, follow me."
Luo Shan announced.
"Ah..."
"Why like this."
A wave of groans went through the group, as most of them preferred watching basketball to playing it.
Luo Shan ignored their complaints and led them to the basketball court.
"First, I will teach you how to shoot."
Luo Shan demonstrated. "First, your posture must be standard."
"Then, shoot!"
Luo Shan's movements weren't particularly graceful, but they were quite standard. He held the basketball with both hands and threw it towards the hoop.
"Clang!"
The basketball hit the rim and missed.
"Hiss..."
A chorus of jeers erupted.
Luo Shan's expression remained unchanged, and he chuckled, "You brats, I'm teaching you how to shoot, not guaranteeing every shot will go in!"
"Now, someone come and practice with me."
Luo Shan glanced at the group. "Anyone willing to volunteer?"
"I'll do it!"
Xie Te raised his hand.
His basketball skills were quite good, so he volunteered.
More importantly, he wanted to show off in front of his crush.
"Good, you can demonstrate for the classmates."
Luo Shan knew Xie Te could play basketball and said with a smile.
Xie Te grabbed the basketball, leaped lightly, and the ball left his hands, hitting the rim with a "bang" and going in.
"Wow!"
The crowd gasped in amazement, making Xie Te feel rather pleased.
He turned his head and saw Qiao Zixuan looking at him, which made him even more eager.
Xie Te shot ten balls and made six, which was a decent success rate.
"Everyone, give it a try."
Luo Shan brought over a basket filled with basketballs.
The students lined up, and with over thirty people in the class, there were basically two students per ball.
Hu Qianhao grabbed a basketball and said to Wang Yue, "Brother Yue, we're a pair. Can you play basketball?"
"A little bit."
Wang Yue replied.
With his "Epic Basketball Skill," it wasn't an exaggeration to say he could play in the NBA. He just hadn't had a chance to test it out yet.
"You don't look like you can play much. Watch, I'll teach you."
Hu Qianhao grinned and started dribbling between his legs. "Look at my dribbling. Not every expert can do this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the basketball slipped from his grasp.
"Hahaha, amazing!"
Wang Yue laughed. Hu Qianhao was like a living comedian.
"Hehe, a mistake, just a mistake. Watch my shot!"
Hu Qianhao was a bit embarrassed. He picked up the basketball, jumped stiffly, and the ball drew a graceful arc.
"Clang!"
It hit the backboard.
"Mistake, mistake!"
Hu Qianhao ran over, picked up the ball, and took another jump shot. This time, it went in.
He immediately became boastful. "See, Brother Yue? I only took two shots and made one. That's an expert."
Meanwhile.
Xie Te found Qiao Zixuan.
"Zixuan, shall I teach you?"
Xie Te smiled gently.
Qiao Zixuan was paired with Che Rong.
Che Rong was Qiao Zixuan's best friend, but Che Rong wasn't particularly attractive, only of average looks.
Xie Te was indeed quite handsome and could play basketball, which was a bonus in the eyes of many girls.
Therefore, Che Rong also admired Xie Te quite a bit.
"Thank you, but I want to play by myself for a while."
Qiao Zixuan refused with a smile.
"Xie Te, you teach me. If you teach me, then I can teach Xuanxuan, right?"
At this moment, Che Rong stepped forward.
Xie Te thought it made sense. To get closer to Qiao Zixuan, he first had to win over her best friend.
"Okay, I'll teach you."
Xie Te then began to instruct Che Rong on how to shoot.
"Wow!"
Just then, a gasp of surprise came from nearby.
It drew the attention of the three people over there.
They saw Wang Yue standing beyond the three-point line, sinking one shot after another! Every single one was a swish!
This incredible shooting percentage drew the astonishment of everyone.
Hu Qianhao's mouth hung open, and he felt a pang of sorrow and indignation. "Brother Yue, you liar! You said you only knew a little bit."
Wang Yue's shooting form was extremely standard and graceful. Coupled with his high good looks, he was like a magnet, firmly attracting the attention of a group of girls.
Qiao Zixuan's eyes also sparkled. She thought, "I never noticed Wang Yue before. He actually knows so many things."
Xie Te noticed Qiao Zixuan's gaze and became furious. He thought, "Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"
Among the boys, some were envious, while others were appreciative.
Lu Yang said to Lu Weiting beside him, "Wang Yue is so unassuming, yet he plays basketball so well. We must get him to participate in the school basketball competition this time."
"Being accurate in shooting doesn't necessarily mean he has good overall skills, but compared to the other boys in the class, he's indeed a good candidate."
Lu Weiting nodded.
Lu Yang, at 185 cm tall, loved basketball and had a good impression of those who played well.
Some of the other boys felt sour.
"What's so great about him? So what if he plays basketball well? His grades are still terrible."
"He's just showing off."
"Look at those girls acting like crazed fangirls, as if they've never seen a man before."
"I'll definitely crush this guy in the next mock exam."
...
Wang Yue didn't care what others thought. He was genuinely enjoying himself right now.
In his previous life, he thought watching others play basketball was cool and tried it himself. Unfortunately, out of ten shots, nine would miss, and one would hit the backboard, so he reluctantly gave up the sport.
Now, with the boost of his basketball skill, the ball felt like it had a life of its own in his hands, and his accuracy was incredible.
Just then, Xie Te approached.
"Wang Yue, playing well."
Xie Te's eyes burned with anger. "One-on-one?"
One-on-one basketball, also known as "dou niu," is extremely entertaining.
This is, of course, if both players are skilled.
"Sure."
Seeing Xie Te approach again, Wang Yue chuckled. Wasn't this just asking for a beating?
"Fifteen points."
Xie Te threw the basketball to Wang Yue. "You go first!"
"I go first?"
Wang Yue's expression was strange. The rule of one-on-one is that the scoring player gets to keep possession. If he got the ball, Xie Te wouldn't be able to play.
"Come on!"
Xie Te took a defensive stance and shouted.
Wang Yue stood at half-court, a smirk playing on his lips, and then executed a perfect fadeaway jump shot.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air.
"Clang!"
And then it landed precisely in the basket.
"Wow!"
The girls' screams were particularly loud, as if they were about to shake the entire basketball court.
It was too cool!
"Wang Yue, I love you! I want to have your babies!"
"Get lost! Wang Yue is mine, you go away."
"You slut, don't get flirty with my male god!"
The roaring cheers made Wang Yue's pores expand, and he felt like he was about to float.
This feeling of being the center of attention was something he had never experienced before, neither in this life nor his previous one!
Xie Te stared at the basketball behind him in disbelief. A shot from half-court, and it went in??
Xie Te was convinced it was pure luck; he might succeed once or twice in a hundred attempts himself.
"Again!"
Xie Te threw the ball back and said in a low voice.
He refused to believe Wang Yue could make another shot.
After Wang Yue got the ball, he took another jump shot.
Everyone held their breath, watching the ball fly through the air.
Then, it precisely landed in the basket again.
"Clang!"
"Wow!"
The basketball court once again erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.
