Chapter 53 So Manly
Perhaps because of the "Second-Rate Academic God PK Competition," the atmosphere inside the elite class became noticeably tense after returning to school from the winter break.
Everyone is frantically doing practice problems.
As the culprit, Lu Ming could only use the last period of physical education class on Thursday afternoon to invite the senior class 4, who were also taking classes in the gymnasium, to play basketball.
The students were quite enthusiastic about this, and Lu Ming also had the opportunity to shoot another video to accumulate material.
With only a few months left until the college entrance examination in the final semester, the senior high school students are indeed very nervous, but after all, they are seventeen or eighteen-year-old kids.
The students were quite excited when they heard that they could play a basketball game during PE class, especially the boys.
When the competition started, quite a few teachers came to cheer them on, including Ji Leping's mother.
Because she was sitting with several teachers in the stands on the east side of the basketball court, no one initially noticed this wife of a state-owned enterprise employee.
Hu Jinyu, with his sharp eyes, was the first to spot it and reminded Ji Leping on the team, "Ji, why is your mother here? Is she just too worried about you?"
"No way?"
Ji Leping turned his head in surprise and saw his mother. He felt a little embarrassed, but also quite happy.
He just casually mentioned it on the phone in his dorm last night, and he didn't expect his mother to come over to watch the game.
"They probably came to find out what was going on from the teacher and just happened to stop by to take a look, right?" Ji Leping quickly explained to the students around him.
There are some things that you definitely can't tell outsiders.
Because his father is the CEO of a state-owned enterprise and is very busy every day, and may even have other women outside, he and his mother, Fang Lin, have become increasingly dependent on each other in recent years.
He may seem to be taking a relaxed approach to his studies, but in fact, he gave up his dream of going to Tsinghua or Peking University a long time ago and preferred to stay in the province and stay by his mother's side.
Of course, his mother definitely hoped that he could go to Tsinghua or Peking University, and preferably continue his studies all the way to a doctoral degree.
At that moment, Lu Ming, who was on the field, clapped his hands vigorously to remind his teammates not to get distracted.
Let's win the game first.
There are two athletes from Class 4 who are quite good. If Lu Ming hadn't been on the court, they basically wouldn't have been able to win this game.
No wonder the other party's homeroom teacher and class monitor immediately agreed after the invitation was sent.
I was just looking forward to teaching the Rocket Class a lesson!
Because this physical education class was only 45 minutes long, Lu Ming and Class 4 agreed on a competition format of two 15-minute periods with a 10-minute break in between.
Each class receives a 1,000 yuan appearance fee, and the winning class receives an additional 3,000 yuan class fee.
After the first half, the Rockets were down by six points.
During halftime.
Lu Ming called all the players in his class together and revised the tactics, saying, "Hu Jinyu and Le Ping are more accurate shooters. Xu Jiyang and Huang Jiaxuan will be in charge of defense, keep a close eye on those two PE students, and I'll be responsible for rebounding!"
The children nodded silently.
Hu Jinyu couldn't help but complain again, "Those two PE students in Class Four are really cheating. They're already very tall, and their jumping ability is so good!"
"It's okay, I'll handle the rebounds in the second half!"
Lu Ming didn't seem to care much about this.
His shooting was more accurate, and his dribbling and timing were also more skillful, but even a skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients. If he didn't go for the rebounds, even if Hu Jinyu and the other kids rushed up together, they wouldn't be able to get many.
After a ten-minute break, the game resumed.
The Rockets' change in tactics had an immediate and noticeable effect.
When wearing the title "Wealth and Honor Cannot Move Me", Lu Ming gains one point each in his four attributes: physique, tenacity, intelligence, and memory, giving him a total of nine points in physique and eight points in tenacity.
The agility of a six-pointer is not much worse than that of a high school student.
After he took charge of rebounding, the two physical education students from Class 4 had a hard time getting the ball. Although Hu Jinyu and Ji Leping's shooting percentages were not high, at least they had the ball to shoot!
Lu Ming has great explosiveness, speed and stamina. After grabbing the rebound and passing it to Xu Jiyang and Huang Jiaxuan, by the time the ball is passed to Hu Jinyu, he has already sprinted to the other side of the court to receive the ball and make a putback shot inside.
The result was that he ran all over the court and dominated both basketball hoops.
The high school students in Class 4 were stunned. They thought that Lu Ming was forty years old and it would be difficult for him to maintain such physical exertion. However, at the end of the game, Lu Ming intercepted the ball halfway and rushed in to dunk at the last minute.
The moment Lu Ming grabbed the basket, the girls from both classes screamed, and even several teachers who came to cheer for the students cheered.
"Teacher Lu is amazing!"
The students in the advanced class were extremely excited.
After losing by six points in the first half, they not only quickly caught up in the second half but also won by nearly ten points, forcing Class 4 to give up.
The last shot was a dunk!
Teacher Lu was like an aerial acrobat; after leaping, he seemed to land on the backboard, about two meters off the ground.
The glider usually crashes into the basket.
In fact, Lu Ming had hardly shown his dunking ability in the past six months. Today, he was running all over the court, taking on the whole team by himself. He was really having a blast.
He only came to his senses after the dunk.
This is a bit troublesome!
Because so many people have played basketball with him before, anyone who plays basketball regularly knows that he definitely doesn't have the ability to dunk.
It's impossible for him to be in better physical condition at forty than he was in college.
Not scientific!
So while his classmates were all excited, he remained quite calm. After a moment's thought, he instructed Hu Jinyu and the others, "Take the class funds and go to the staff canteen for a meal. I twisted my ankle at the last moment, so when you get back, rub some safflower oil on it and apply a cold compress!"
"Are you alright, Teacher Lu?"
Several classmates immediately became concerned.
"I'm getting old, and I have old injuries. I've twisted them too many times before. A few days of rest will fix it!"
Lu Ming waved his hand, signaling the students to go eat.
"Teacher Lu, shall Le Ping and I help you back to your dormitory?" Hu Jinyu, as the class's sports committee member, also wanted to become Teacher Lu's son-in-law, so of course he wanted to make a good impression.
"Le Ping is enough!" Lu Ming took out his meal card, handed it to Hu Jinyu, and then instructed, "There are still a few thousand yuan in my meal card. Use my meal card to treat the classmates to a meal. Keep the class funds you won today, and we'll go on a spring outing together later."
"Alright!"
Hu Jinyu readily agreed and took Lu Ming's meal card to find the class monitor, Lu Wenting.
If you're going to put on a show, go all the way.
At this point, Lu Ming could only pretend to have twisted his ankle and leave the gymnasium with his arm around Ji Leping's shoulder.
After returning to the staff dormitory, Lu Ming told the high school senior to go to the cafeteria for lunch while he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
I had only been washing for a few minutes when someone suddenly rang the doorbell.
"Wait a minute, I'm coming!"
Lu Ming hastily dried himself off, not even having time to put on his underwear, and simply draped a thick, fleece-lined bathrobe over himself.
He guessed it was Miao Yuyan, his old classmate, and didn't pay much attention. He casually tied his bathrobe belt and opened the door.
The result was somewhat unexpected. It turned out to be Ji Leping's mother carrying a lunchbox. Despite it being the Spring Festival, she was wearing very sexy flesh-colored pantyhose and a black velvet skirt, with a short down jacket on top. She looked really young and fashionable.
"Ms. Lu, are you alright? I heard from some of the kids that you twisted your ankle on the court?"
Mrs. Fang looked very concerned.
"It's nothing serious, she'll be fine after a rest!" Lu Ming felt awkward turning her away, so he turned to the side and continued to invite, "Mrs. Fang, please come in and sit down!"
"You got injured while playing for our Leping team, and I really feel bad about it. It would have been really inappropriate not to come and check on you!"
Fang Lin explained her purpose as she entered the staff dormitory, glancing around briefly.
Soon, her gaze fell on Lu Ming's ankles, and when she saw the sparse hair on his calves, she felt a surge of heat in her heart.
He's so handsome and tall, so strong, so physically fit, and so masculine and sensual.
So manly!
