Chapter 207 0207, Special Occupational Resources
In addition to regular sports meets, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music also holds some ball sports events, including basketball games.
Among the eight departments in the East Campus, except for the Orchestra Department and the Modern Musical Instruments Department, each of which has a basketball team that occasionally practices together, the other departments are just a few people who are put together temporarily and basically have not practiced together.
Although it is a conservatory of music, such ball sports events are still very popular and have a high degree of participation, especially basketball games.
In fact, some people don’t like to play basketball, but they like to watch basketball, because when they watch basketball, they will be infected by the emotions of the athletes on the court and the atmosphere of the audience outside the court, and thus feel particularly passionate.
In order to make students who are full of energy and have nowhere to vent pay attention to this competition, the school has changed the three rewards of washbasin, towel, and toothbrush that have not changed for thousands of years into cash rewards, and the top three prize amounts are 10,000, 6,000, and 3,000.
The school, which has always seen money coming in but not spending money, suddenly became so generous, which triggered a wave of discussion.
Under the dual temptation of honor and bonus, the sports ministers of each department became busy. First, they found the sports committee members of each class according to grade, recommended the basketball players in each class, and then made a big list, and then slowly selected them.
However, how many basketball players can there be in the music college? So an interesting phenomenon appeared. Each department is looking for students with specialties such as sprinting, high jump, weightlifting, shot put, and martial arts.
Someone said here that it is barely reasonable to find students with specialties in sprinting and high jump. One can use speed to shake off defense, and the other can use bounce to compete for rebounds, but what about other specialties, such as weightlifting, shot put, and martial arts?
Then someone forced an explanation.
First, those with these specialties have good arm strength and lower body strength, can shoot from a distance, and can defend steadily.
Second, they have their own aura. It doesn’t matter whether the skills are good or not. You can’t lose momentum no matter what you lose. Look at the domestic clubs, from the main force to the bench, how many people don’t know martial arts? Martial arts is their main business, and basketball is at best a hobby to make money.
However, the most popular group is still the group of international students, who are tall, strong and good at basketball.
Among them, the most international students are from the Orchestra Department of the East Campus and the Piano Department of the North Campus, and they are also the favorites to win the championship of this basketball game.
"Damn, I'm late..."
"I told you to come to watch the game first and then go to eat, but now there is no seat."
...
"The Music and Literature Department here is bound to lose, why are there so many people watching this game?"
"You think they are all here to watch the game? Wrong, at least more than half are here to see Yunfeng."
...
"There are many posts on the school forum saying that Yunfeng is a basketball rookie, and I don't know if it's true or not."
"Really, I was there and saw it with my own eyes."
...
The competition system is very simple. Each campus draws lots for a single-elimination system to determine the first place to compete with the first place of the other three campuses for the championship of this basketball game.
Today is the first day of the basketball preliminaries.
There are ten departments in the East Campus, and five games are being held simultaneously.
However, the basketball court where the Music and Literature Department and the Orchestra Department played the game has the most spectators.
It's not because their strength is close that the game will be very interesting. On the contrary, their strength is very different. One side has overwhelming strength. The main reason is that Yunfeng, a famous person from the Magic City Conservatory of Music, is here. Even students from other campuses have rushed over.
"Come on, brothers. Although they are very strong, we have a secret weapon. It's not certain whether we will win or lose." Xia Dachuan looked at Yunfeng.
The two played for a whole day yesterday, and Xia Dachuan also understood why Li Junyi said that Yunfeng was playing the pig to eat the tiger.
Yunfeng blinked his eyes and thought: This "secret weapon" is not referring to me, right? Basketball can't be played by one person.
At this time, Li Junyi saw that in the other half of the five people from the orchestra department who came up to warm up, there was no foreigner, and he hummed: "Damn... They underestimated me!"
Xia Dachuan smiled and said, "Too proud, there is a price to pay."
Yunfeng followed and said, "Take this opportunity to score more points."
He never thought that the foreign students in the orchestra department who were good at basketball could form a team.
A whistle blew and the game began.
Li Junyi used his height and jumping advantage to jump to the ball.
The ball was in Xia Dachuan's hands, and he made a fast break and a layup.
"Oh!"
The students of the Department of Music and Literature on the basketball court cheered.
Yunfeng and others quickly returned to their own half and set up a defensive formation.
The orchestral department served the ball.
Although they did not have foreign students, the basketball skills of the five people on the court were also quite good, and they often played together, so they had a tacit understanding, and immediately returned a layup.
"Here it comes... Yunfeng got the ball!"
"The good show is coming."
"Come on, senior Yunfeng!"
"Come on, Yunfeng!"
"Come on, brother Yun!"
...
The spectators outside the basketball court had different expressions on their faces.
However...
In an instant, the cheers filled the entire basketball court. It seems that most people are still very tolerant of Yunfeng.
Yunfeng focused all his attention on the court. After receiving the ball, he dribbled to the opponent's half like a nimble leopard.
"Don't fight with me. Let me teach the big star how to defend and block shots." On the side of the orchestra department, seeing Yunfeng holding the ball, everyone was eager to try and wanted to intercept Yunfeng, but the captain Li Ziqiang got there first.
Yunfeng observed the position of his teammates and found that they were all closely guarded. There was no good chance, so he did not choose to pass the ball.
At this time, Li Ziqiang had already come up.
Yunfeng protected the ball with his back to the opponent and dribbled close to the opponent. After a while, he pushed forward to the three-point line.
The audience outside the basketball court was a little surprised.
They were very surprised that Yunfeng did not pass the ball to his teammates, but chose to play against Li Ziqiang.
And...
Yunfeng's current dribbling and ball-protecting posture did not look like a basketball rookie at all.
As for Li Ziqiang, he did not take Yunfeng seriously at all, and even wanted to laugh. He thought: If I let you succeed in playing alone, I will be the captain of the orchestra basketball team in vain.
Yunfeng continued to push from behind.
At this moment, he recalled the trick Jordan used when facing defense from behind, which was also the trick he often used when playing basketball on Earth in his previous life.
Now!
Yunfeng suddenly released his strength in the confrontation with Li Ziqiang, turned back to the baseline, jumped up gently, leaned back while drifting, and threw the ball out.
"Wow..."
In the eyes of others, after Yunfeng jumped off the ground, he flew steadily in the air for a distance, as if he was stagnant in the air.
This is Jordan's back-turning jump shot!
Li Ziqiang, who had just joked with his teammates about teaching Yunfeng how to defend and block shots, immediately turned his head and looked at the basket after landing from the air.
That's right, not only did he not block the shot, he didn't even touch the ball.
With a "swish", the ball thrown by Yunfeng went into the net with a perfect arc.
At this moment.
Whether it was Li Ziqiang who was defending Yunfeng, or the other four players from the orchestra on the court, or the audience outside the basketball court, all of them widened their eyes and were extremely shocked.
"Who posted those posts on the school forum?"
"Is this a basketball rookie?"
"Isn't it said that Li Ziqiang's basketball skills can be ranked in the top three in the East Campus? He can even be said to be the best outside of international students. How come I can't see what's so good about him now..."
"It's not that Li Ziqiang is not good, but Yunfeng's back-turning and fadeaway jump shot just now is too strong. I have only seen it in USBA."
"This turn, this jump, this air suspension, it's simply perfect!"
...
And those students who have seen Yunfeng play basketball on the spot are all confused.
Is this still the Yunfeng who can't catch the ball, miss three shots, and dribbles uncoordinated hands and feet?
However, they were shocked by more than that.
Dribbling behind the back...
Pull-up three-pointer...
Pull-up layup...
Yunfeng scored goals one after another in various pleasing ways.
The cheers and cheers from the audience outside the basketball court became more and more intense.
In fact, it was not that Yunfeng was so powerful, but he only looked powerful compared to the opponent's strength. If he met someone who really knew how to play basketball, he would basically have no chance to do those moves.
At the end of the first half, the score was 36:28, and the Department of Music and Literature was temporarily in the lead.
In the rest area, Li Junyi wiped his sweat with a towel and said, "They are too patient. They didn't even change players."
Xia Dachuan drank half a bottle of mineral water in one breath and said, "The score difference has been kept in single digits and has not widened. They probably think that this lineup can catch up."
Li Junyi also took a bottle of water and said, "It's better not to change in the second half, be stubborn and fight with us."
Yunfeng was not so optimistic. Even if the orchestra department did not change players in the second half, they might not win.
Physical strength is a critical issue. The orchestra department exercises regularly, but he is the only one who exercises regularly on their side. Moreover, they have no substitutes, and the five of them have to play the whole game.
After a ten-minute break, the second half began.
Because it is a single-elimination system, the orchestra department still changed players for safety reasons, replacing two foreign students.
As Yunfeng expected, after just five minutes of playing, except for him, the remaining four teammates became slow in movement and breathing became rapid.
"It seems that the music and literature department is gone."
"It is obvious that among the five of them, only Yunfeng can still run."
"The orchestra department has also become cautious and changed its defensive strategy from full-court man-to-man defense to double defense."
"It is called double defense, but it is actually aimed at Yunfeng alone."
"It's a pity. If the teammates give some strength, they really have a chance to beat the orchestra department."
...
The audience outside the basketball court can no longer see the hope of the music and literature department winning.
Indeed.
Yunfeng had no way to deal with the two-on-one defense of the Orchestra Department. Unless Jordan was possessed, he could create a miracle.
However...
The teammates did not give up and continued to defend and attack with all their strength.
It's okay to lose, but not too badly.
"Huh..."
The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and the score was fixed at 51:66.
The result was reasonable, but the process was unexpected. The Music and Literature Department lost, but still won the applause of the audience.
Xia Dachuan grinned and said, "The difference of 15 points is not too bad."
Li Junyi said optimistically: "Look at it this way, we lost to those two foreign students, and we won the first half."
Yunfeng was about to speak when a prompt sounded in his mind: "Ding Dong, the host is detected to actively participate in activities related to cross-border occupations, and a special occupation resource is obtained."
This...
Can there be rewards?
The system is really unpredictable.
And the prompt sound just now said "The host is detected to actively participate in activities related to cross-border occupations", so this activity related to cross-border occupations must be playing basketball.
Could it be...
Yunfeng's heart beat a few times.
The next cross-border occupation, won't be a "basketball player"?
I remember that the first side quest triggered by the system was related to the first cross-border occupation [singer].
But...
Is it too big a step to cross from the literary and artistic circle to the sports circle?
But this is just a guess, it is not certain.
Besides, it is still too early to activate the third cross-border occupation. The main occupation [writer] achievement and the cross-border occupation [singer] achievement are nearly 10,000 apart.
"In competitive sports, winning or losing is normal, isn't it? You've tried your best, don't be too sad." At this time, Tang Yu came over and saw Yunfeng standing there blankly. Thinking that he was sad because he lost the game, he comforted him.
"Ah..." Yunfeng came back to his senses, saw Tang Yu's concerned eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm fine."
Tang Yu immediately changed the subject and said with a smile, "You shot that last three-pointer so handsomely. That 1.9-meter-tall foreign student stretched his hand so long that he didn't touch the ball."
Yunfeng immediately became energetic and said proudly, "Oh, you mean that ball? I actually used a more difficult basketball technical move called 'fade-away jump shot'. The purpose of the fade-away is to reduce the probability of the defender blocking the shot, thereby increasing the probability of scoring. There is also a 'pull-up three-pointer', which is..."
Tang Yu didn't care that Yunfeng had just finished playing basketball and had a strong smell of sweat on his body. He directly reached out and hugged his arm.
The two left the basketball court under the gaze of countless eyes.
Yunfeng kept talking about the basketball skills he used on the court.
Tang Yu listened carefully, occasionally interjecting with a sweet smile on her face.

After dinner, we returned to the dormitory.
"Me first!" Xia Dachuan rushed into the toilet first.
"I won't compete with you..." Li Junyi still felt very tired and planned to rest for a while before taking a shower.
As for Yunfeng, he sat down on the chair as soon as he came in.
Compared to taking a shower, he had something more urgent to do, which was to check the special professional resources he had just obtained.
After the "Special Professional Skill Book", another "Special Professional Resource" came out.
The word "special" does not necessarily mean that it is very good, but it must be very rare.
