Chapter 5: Is the black guy named Chamberlain?
Wilt Chamberlain?
"My name is Qin Yu." Qin Yu extended his hand and shook hands with Chamberlain.
"Do you like barbecue?" Chamberlain asked in broken Chinese.
"Why don't you speak English?" Qin Yu asked in English.
"Because you are the first friend I've ever played basketball with in China, I'm expressing my sincerity in Chinese."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
"Hey, bro, you can speak English." Qin Yu couldn't stand Chamberlain's slow, awkward, and inaccurate Chinese.
"OK, bro"
"I can understand," Qin Yu said in English.
"I can understand that too," Chamberlain said in English.
"Really?" Qin Yu asked in Chinese.
"It's true," Chamberlain replied.
"Okay, okay."
Next, the two spoke English, but because Chamberlain's Chinese was limited, Qin Yu had to put in a lot of effort to finally tell Chamberlain that he would take him to eat barbecue after the fight, thus ending the conversation.
"Ding-dong, Jinghu Stadium has arrived. Passengers who are getting off, please pay attention to safety."
Qin Yu stood up, and Chamberlain followed him downstairs.
Looking at Chamberlain, who was acting like a curious child, Qin Yu was speechless, unsure whether he should team up with Chamberlain.
Qin Yu had originally planned to test his physical limits.
After walking a few steps, Qin Yu took out his sports glasses and mask and put them on.
"Bro, what's wrong?"
Qin Yu made a shushing gesture.
Chamberlain reached out his hand, and Qin Yu was taken aback. Then he took out a mask from his bag and handed it to Chamberlain.
Chamberlain put it on, and Qin Yu nodded.
"Hey, bro, this is what you call sharing joys and sorrows," Chamberlain said with satisfaction, feeling that his and Qin Yu's matching outfits were quite fashionable.
Qin Yu was speechless.
The two had just reached the entrance of the basketball factory when they were stopped by someone.
"Here to play ball?" A young man, slightly taller than Qin Yu, looked at Qin Yu.
"Yes." Qin Yu nodded.
"I've never seen you before. Is this your first time? Do you know our rules here? If you lose, you have to leave your jerseys behind." He pointed to a flagpole to the side.
Goodness, it's covered in clothes.
In his previous life, Qin Yu had never actually fought in Jinghu Community; he had only heard of it, but he never expected it to be like this.
Because the other person spoke quite quickly, Qin Yu had to slowly break down the sentences before repeating them to Chamberlain.
"OK." Chamberlain glanced at his own jersey and then stared at the other player's jersey with interest.
"If you lose, will the jerseys be given to us as a souvenir?" Chamberlain asked the young man in front of him.
The other person turned to look at Qin Yu, but he couldn't understand a single word the foreigner was saying.
At this moment, Qin Yu realized that after his rebirth, it seemed that the English he had learned from communicating with foreign players when competing domestically and arguing with foreign players abroad had also come with him.
In other words, we can do something else during English class from now on, such as studying tactics.
Qin Yu had studied other basic subjects before and had them all in his mind. Although he was a little rusty, Qin Yu's college entrance examination score was not low. He took the regular college entrance examination and did not go through the examination process for art and sports students.
This time, he seemed to be able to handle things more calmly and with greater ease.
Aside from the fact that he was a little surprised to meet Chamberlain, the reason he agreed to team up with Chamberlain was that he wanted to observe Chamberlain carefully.
Qin Yu always felt that Chamberlain's appearance was not a coincidence, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why it wasn't a coincidence.
Chamberlain is certainly not the same Chamberlain of the past, but his skin color, height, and the length of his Achilles tendon are things that others can only envy.
Talent is amazing!
"This foreign friend said, 'You lost, so why don't you give him your jerseys as a souvenir?'"
Qin Yu said somewhat awkwardly that he hadn't thought about getting the other player's jersey, and of course, he didn't think he would lose.
"Of course, if you can win! But you only have two people, so you'll need to find one more for 3v3."
"But have you thought this through? If you really lose, your clothes will be gone forever!" Li Cheng looked at the two men with confidence, then looked at Qin Yu and Chamberlain, and continued, "My name is Li Cheng. Come with me! You can invite anyone from the rest area over there."
After speaking, Li Cheng walked to the center of the field, ready to form a team.
This Jinghu District Sports Center has a total of three standard basketball courts.
"Brother Yu Cun, when did you arrive?"
"I've been here for a while now."
"Practice hard, everyone! The streetball championship is about to begin, and the prize money this time is quite high!"
"Brother Yu Cun, how tall are you?"
"First place: 50,000!"
"So tall!"
"Yes, this is only the Sichuan provincial champion."
After that, 32 provincial champions will compete in a knockout tournament, and the final four will then play a round-robin tournament.
After Yu Cun finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yu and Chamberlain standing on the side of the central field.
What are those two doing?
"We were just talking about that, Boss Yu Cun, those two seem to be here to cause trouble."
"Challenge them?"
"Hmph, that's interesting. That kid thinks he can challenge the team just by finding a foreign player. How do you plan to teach them a lesson?" Yu Cun looked at Li Cheng, who had taken off his coat.
"Boss Yu Cun, these two, me, Zhang Long, and Ding He are enough."
"Zhang Long, Ding He, let's go, someone's here to challenge us."
Ding He, who was warming up, stood up and was nearly two meters tall.
Hearing Li Cheng's greeting, Zhang Long took off the towel from his head and walked over.
"Have you chosen your teammates yet? They can be in the rest area."
On the central basketball court, Qin Yu and Chamberlain exchanged a glance, and both pointed to a short man sitting at the edge of the rest area.
"Tianbing, come and team up." Li Cheng stretched out his right hand, and Okita Bing waved it.
Upon seeing the elderly Li Cheng waving at him from the court, Tian Bing immediately put down the whiteboard he was using to demonstrate tactics and ran over eagerly.
The basketball courts at Jinghu Sports Center are incredibly popular; he's practically invisible during regular matches.
We can only practice more after the game ends.
"Brother Cheng" Tian Bing ran over and walked towards Li Cheng and the other two.
He was still wondering why Li Cheng had called him when he already had a three-person team.
"Bro, hey, come on!"
Tian Bing turned around and looked at the black boy behind him who was calling him.
On the entire basketball court, apart from Ding He, this black man was the tallest.
"Join our group."
Tian Bing glanced back at Li Cheng, and seeing Li Cheng nod, he looked at Qin Yu and said, "Okay, okay."
"You serve."
The rules for challenging someone to a match are that the host should be hospitable and polite, and the first ball should be served to the person challenging the match.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Qin Yu quickly dribbled the basketball that Chamberlain handed him; it felt quite comfortable in his hand.
After receiving the ball from Qin Yu, Tian Bing stood outside the three-point line.
Li Cheng also came to the three-point line. In the first game, he was defending Tian Bing.
Looking at Li Cheng, Tian Bing, who was holding the ball, looked towards the court, searching for an opportunity to serve.
