Chapter 5 Can You Play Basketball
A farce faded away with Lu Yuan's jump.

The good guy no longer yells "Call Dad", Ge Yiming is no longer in a hurry to eat those spicy sticks, and the wind is no longer in a hurry to blow.

The students who wanted to watch the bustle for a while lost their interest. The windless noon sun was scorching hot, and everyone slowly dispersed in twos and threes.

It was like a wonderful drama, with an unexpected climax in the final period, and the surprise audience was greatly satisfied.

Afterwards, the lights came on, the curtain fell on the stage, and people returned to reality with a little bit of loss caused by the slide from the peak, and left, leaving.

Lu Yuan was also about to leave, he wanted to go back to the classroom quickly, the sun was too hot.

"Hey!"

Someone called out to stop Lu Yuan, it was Bai Ye.He grabbed the basketball from the ground and threw it towards Lu Yuan.

"Will you play basketball?" Bai Ye asked.

Lu Yuan caught the ball with a surprised expression on his face. He shook his head and said, "No, I just jumped higher."

After speaking, Lu Yuan put the ball on the ground, turned around and walked away.

Bai Ye wanted to say something else, but didn't say it.

………………

A small incident at noon quickly became a topic of conversation among freshmen in high school.

The small video of the one-on-one challenge quickly spread among the freshmen's class group and circle of friends. Bai Ye's superb basketball prowess against Dai Haoran made people talk a lot, and Lu Yuan's jump at the end of the video was the icing on the cake.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys like to satisfy their little vanity by bragging about the awesome people they have seen.

Therefore, the most painful thing now is Ge Yiming.

He can't wait to say to everyone watching the video, "This tall guy is from our class, this Dai Haoran is also from our class, and that high jumper is from our class!"

But just because the three of them were in the same class as him, with Lu Yuan at the same table, he really couldn't find someone to brag about.

The most painful thing in life is this.

The noisy noon passed quickly, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Mao brought the military instructor to the classroom. He was a soldier from the Beishan Garrison in Licheng.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Li Qiang. I'm from the Beishan Garrison. It's a pleasure to meet you."

The officer named Li Qiang introduced himself briefly. He is not tall, about 1 meters.His dark face looked a bit stern under the cover of the brim of the camouflage hat, but his tone of voice was very gentle and friendly.

The military training for freshmen in Licheng Middle School has a tradition of decades. From early students to experience military life in the barracks, to the current military officers who come directly to the school to guide the training, the intensity of military training is getting lower and lower.

Every year in the military training, the army leaders will try their best to send some soldiers with good performance and excellent style to the school to serve as instructors to prevent incidents such as fights and improper relationships between instructors and students.

Therefore, the military training for freshmen in Licheng High School will not be particularly hard.

Li Qiang is a model soldier of the Beishan garrison. After introducing himself, he began to chat with everyone about the life in the barracks and the problems that need attention in the next two weeks of military training.

Li Qiang was eloquent, his speech was clear, and his narration was orderly, which soon made the curious students listen attentively.

Sitting on the seat, Lu Yuan listened more seriously, he was very curious about life in the military camp.

Because he wanted to be a soldier since he was a child, especially a pilot. It has always been his dream and desire to be able to soar into the blue sky and defend the territory.

"I've said so much, I don't know what everyone wants to say. Let's talk about your vision for the future and your dreams!"

After Li Qiang talked a lot, he found a place to sit down and let the freshmen of Class 19 talk about their thoughts.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan jumped up from his seat, and then realized something was wrong, so he immediately sat down and raised his hands.

There was laughter in the classroom, and Li Qiang also smiled and said: "Student, seeing that you are so active, let's talk first."

Then Lu Yuan stood up and said: "Hi everyone, my name is Lu Yuan, Lu from the land, Yuan from the source. My original dream was to be a soldier! To be a fighter pilot! But my mother is the only one at home, so I have nothing to do when I become a soldier. People accompany my mother. So my dream now is to be a civil aviation pilot, able to fly in the sky and accompany my mother, I have finished my words.”

There was another burst of laughter in the classroom.

Li Qiang said: "This student likes flying very much. He is either a fighter pilot or a civil aviation pilot."

As soon as Li Qiang finished speaking, Ge Yiming interrupted: "Instructor, he doesn't want to fly, he really can fly!"

The classroom became even more noisy, and everyone whispered to each other. Some students didn't know who the person who pulled the ball down in the video was. After discussing with everyone in the class, they all realized that it was Lu Yuan.

The students sitting in the first row took out their mobile phones and opened the video for Li Qiang to watch. Li Qiang was amazed after watching it.

It is not difficult to touch the basket, the difficulty is that the jump is so easy and natural like in the video, and there is a long hang in the air, it really seems to take off.

Most importantly, Lu Yuan was still wearing a pair of military training shoes that didn't fit well.

"Good guy, you can really jump, you don't need to fly a plane, you can fly by yourself! Your name is Lu Yuan? Can you play basketball, can you dunk?" Li Qiang asked with great interest.

Lu Yuan wondered why instructor Li, like Bai Ye, asked himself if he knew how to play basketball?

In fact, Lu Yuan has encountered this problem a few times before. Since elementary school, every time he was jumping high, someone would ask him if he knew how to play basketball.

Lu Yuan's answer is always the same: "I don't know how to play basketball."

Seeing that Lu Yuan answered very simply, Li Qiang asked the next classmate to share his thoughts without asking any further questions.

At this time, Bai Ye, who was sitting in the fourth group, raised her hand, stood up and said: "My name is Bai Ye, pure white, Ye Ye of Ye Zi. I am male, and I like basketball. I hope to play in the NBA in the future. Once I come I like it, and secondly, I can make a lot of money.”

After finishing speaking, Bai Ye sat down, Li Qiang nodded and said: "It seems that everyone wants to make money. Well, it's good to want to make money. Dreams and making money don't conflict. With money, more dreams can come true." Realized. But now, you still have to think about studying hard and getting into a good university. Don’t be like me. If you don’t study hard, you will be sent to the army, and you will know how happy your life is when you study... "

Li Qiang talked about his past in high school, but Lu Yuan didn't care to listen, his heart was already taken away by Bai Ye's words!

Lu Yuan poked Ge Yiming beside him and asked softly, "Hey, that Bai Ye said that he can earn money by playing in the NBA. How much money can he earn?"

Ge Yiming cast a sideways glance at Lu Yuan, and replied: "You idiot, you don't watch the NBA, the most you can do in a year!" He pointed out four fingers.

40?Lu Yuan thought to himself, after hearing from Uncle Ma downstairs that the annual salary of a civil aviation pilot is 30 yuan, he only thought about flying a passenger plane in the future, being able to fly and earn money, but he didn't expect to earn 40 yuan a year playing basketball.

"4000 million!"

When Ge Yiming told the real number, Lu Yuan almost lost his temper, 4000 million?
"It's still in dollars."

Ge Yiming added another sentence, Lu Yuan felt dizzy.

"Then I only go to fight for one year, won't I have no worries about food and drink for the rest of my life?"

Lu Yuan fell into a happy fantasy, 4000 million US dollars, RMB is nearly [-] million, [-] million, how many flies he has to catch at Uncle Ma's house.

"That's the most powerful one, 4000 million, and the most common one. You don't have to play every day, just sit on the bench, applaud and cheer, and get 100 million dollars a year."

Ge Yiming finally found a chance to brag, seeing Lu Yuan's unbelievable expression made him feel dark.

It's no wonder that Lu Yuan is ignorant, it's because his mother is so strict that he doesn't let Lu Yuan get in touch with sports, especially basketball.

As far as Lu Yuan's physical fitness is concerned, many physical education teachers have wanted to recruit Lu Yuan into the track and field team since elementary school, but when it comes to Lu Yuan's mother, it is difficult to survive.

Not only did Xu Qian disagree with Lu Yuan participating in the sports team, she even refused to allow him to participate in the school sports meeting, and even went to the hospital to give Lu Yuan a certificate of congenital heart disease.

Therefore, Lu Yuan's good physical fitness was all used for delivering couriers and swatting flies, and he was absent from the sports field.

Thinking about the [-] million yuan and why his mother didn't let him participate in sports, Lu Yuan supported his head, but couldn't figure it out.

........................

It was already 03:30 in the afternoon when almost every student in the class talked about their vision and ideals for the future.

The military training will officially start tomorrow. Mr. Mao returned to the classroom and told about the military training related matters tomorrow, and then let the students go home early after school.

In fact, it was still very early. The girls walked around the school in twos and threes, and the boys went to the playground to play basketball and football. The campus that had been silent for two months ushered in vitality again.

Lu Yuan packed up and changed back his clothes to go home, he sent a message to Jia Yumeng asking her to wait for him downstairs where the bicycle was parked.

After leaving the teacher's door and walking to the stairs, Lu Yuan met Bai Ye again.He was leaning on the handrail of the stairs with one hand, and he was still wearing a military training T-shirt, as if he was waiting for someone.

Seeing Lu Yuan approaching, Bai Ye stepped forward to stop him, it turned out that he was waiting for Lu Yuan.

Bai Ye asked: "Hey, you really don't know how to play basketball."

Lu Yuan looked at Bai Ye, wondering why he was so persistent in asking himself this question, and replied, "Really not."

"Then are you interested in playing basketball?" Bai Ye then asked.

This time Lu Yuan was not so decisive, he scratched his head, thought for a while and asked: "Hey, can playing basketball really make a lot of money? Can you earn 4000 million a year?"

Bai Ye shook her head and said: "A few people can do it, but most people, it's a few million a year."

Lu Yuan hesitated for a while, then said: "Well, let me think about it, it seems that basketball is quite interesting."

Bai Ye clenched her fists, resisting the urge to hit someone, snorted, and went downstairs on her own.

Seeing Bai Ye going downstairs, Lu Yuan hurriedly followed behind and asked, "Hey, Bai Ye, where do you live? How do you usually go back? Where did you learn basketball?"

Bai Ye went all the way downstairs, not wanting to pay attention to this little fly at all.

"Hey, Bai Ye," Lu Yuan saw that Bai Ye was unwilling to talk to him, and asked seriously, "Do you really want to play in the NBA?"

This time Bai Ye stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at Lu Yuan, and said, "I think so."

"For big money?"

"none of your business."

"Then I start playing basketball now, is there still time?"

Lu Yuan asked again, Bai Ye was silent and didn't speak.

Before this year, Bai Ye would tell Lu Yuan that you had no chance, and he would not try to arouse Lu Yuan's interest in basketball.Bai Ye has been playing since he was 6 years old. He believes in talent, but he also believes in hard work.

After all, there is only one Forrest Gump in the world. He started playing at the age of 16 and became a superstar. He is too far away.

But this year, a monster appeared out of nowhere in the national competition, which made Bai Ye believe that some geniuses are still geniuses even if they start practicing at the age of 15.

It was this player who made Bai Ye make up his mind to leave BJ and pursue his own path of basketball.

"I don't know, maybe it's too late." Bai Ye finally replied.

At this time, Jia Yumeng, who was waiting for Lu Yuan in the garage, saw the two of them approaching, Bai Ye didn't say goodbye to Lu Yuan, turned around and left alone.

Jia Yumeng asked curiously: "Who is that tall man, he seems quite cold."

Lu Yuan replied: "My classmate, named Bai Ye, seems to come to school from out of town. He looks cold, but he's a nice person."

Jia Yumeng gave Lu Yuan a white look, and said, "You've only known him for a long time, so you know he's a good person."

Lu Yuan scratched his head and said, "He gave me a dollar today."

Jia Yumeng gave Lu Yuan a chestnut and said, "A dollar is a good person, right? Then go beg for food, there are good people all over the world."

Lu Yuan smiled and didn't speak, the two rode together to the city turntable and waved goodbye, Lu Yuan went back to the north of the city, Jia Yumeng went to the east of the city.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn't think that Baiye was good because of the one dollar, but because he easily defeated Dai Haoran during the bullfight at noon. A group of people shouted "Call Dad", but he didn't make things difficult for him.

A person can be arrogant, but not hateful.

Lu Yuan thinks Bai ** is arrogant, but not hateful, maybe he can become friends with him?

Moreover, Lu Yuan felt in his heart that the sport of basketball seemed to be really fun.
