Profession and basketball skills, haven't you played basketball in a long time?

The next day.

The sun shone brightly.

Lin Fan lay in bed, leisurely playing on his phone, occasionally glancing at the little sparrows hopping back and forth by the window.

Just then, Ma Zhong slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed his dizzy head and said in a hoarse voice, "Brothers, it's time to get up."

"Okay," Lin Fan responded, immediately climbing out of bed.

Zheng Jinbao said, "Lin Fan, I rarely admire anyone. But, I have to say... I admire you!"

"Yesterday, we drank about two cases of beer, right? You actually drank all three of us under the table, and you were completely fine!"

Two cases of beer, of course, wouldn't affect Lin Fan.

After all, he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!

"Lin Fan, you're not from the Northeast, are you? You can drink so much," Song Yi said.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "What Northeast? My hometown is Qing City. Alright, hurry up and get up."

After some dawdling, the few of them finally got out of bed.

One had to admit, youth was great.

When they first woke up, Zheng Jinbao, Ma Zhong, and Song Yi were still incredibly groggy, feeling lightheaded and heavy-footed.

But after getting up and eating breakfast, the three of them were bouncing around again.

In the morning, they had a math theory class taught by an old professor. Zheng Jinbao and Song Yi were half-asleep.

Ma Zhong was a good student, listening attentively and constantly taking notes.

Lin Fan sometimes listened to the lecture and sometimes read his book.

After the class bell rang.

Ma Zhong said, "Lin Fan, you just started attending classes. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me anytime."

He had noticed that Lin Fan hadn't paid much attention during class but kept flipping through his book.

So, he thought Lin Fan didn't understand.

However, Ma Zhong had no idea that the reason Lin Fan wasn't listening was not because he didn't understand, but because he found it too simple.

Zheng Jinbao yawned and said, "That's right, Ma Zhong isn't very good at other things, but his studies are decent."

"What do you mean I'm not very good at other things?" Ma Zhong protested.

Zheng Jinbao chuckled, "Then how about we go to a club tonight?"

Ma Zhong's entire face instantly turned red. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

"Alright, if we keep chatting, we won't be able to squeeze into the cafeteria later," Song Yi interrupted.

One had to say, the Jiangbei University cafeteria was very different from Lin Fan's high school cafeteria.

Lin Fan's high school cafeteria was similar to a fast-food restaurant.

But the Jiangbei University cafeteria was completely different.

Clay pot soup, roasted goose rice, stir-fries, barbecue, ramen, and so on – everything was available, with a wide variety of options.

The students at Jiangbei University also loved to eat, and there were long queues everywhere.

At this moment, it was 12:00 PM.

Lin Fan's phone vibrated slightly, and a red envelope appeared.

Lin Fan took advantage of the time while waiting in line to continuously tap the screen.

"Ding! Congratulations, you received 5 yuan."

"Ding! Congratulations, you received 1000 yuan."

"Ding! Congratulations, you received 10,000 yuan."

"Ding! Congratulations, you received 3 yuan."

"Ding! Congratulations, you received Professional Basketball Technique."

When he opened this red envelope, it was already 12:01 PM.

It was also at this time that it was Lin Fan and the others' turn to choose their dishes.

The four of them were young men and chose a lot of meat dishes, with many varieties. They all ate very happily.

Song Yi said, "We don't have class this afternoon. I'm meeting up with a few friends to play basketball. Lin Fan, you should come too."

Lin Fan thought that he didn't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway, and he had just received the Professional Basketball Technique, so this was a good opportunity to try it out.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan nodded and said, "Okay."

Song Yi put his arm around Lin Fan's shoulder and said happily, "Good brother!"

Then, he seemed to remember that Lin Fan had said yesterday that he hadn't played basketball in a long time.

So, he added, "Don't worry, our skills aren't that great either. We'll just play casually."

After lunch, Zheng Jinbao returned to the dorm to sleep, and Ma Zhong went to the library.

Song Yi and Lin Fan, on the other hand, bought a bottle of Pulse and went straight to the basketball court.

At this time, four men in jerseys were already waiting on the court.

A dark-skinned, tall man waved from a distance and said, "Song Yi, you're finally here!"

"Let me introduce you, this is our new dorm brother, Lin Fan. He hasn't played basketball in a long time, so don't play too rough later," Song Yi said.

"Okay."

"No problem!"

The four men nodded one after another.

Then, everyone spun the basketball according to streetball rules to divide into two teams.

Soon, Lin Fan was assigned to a team with two relatively thin men wearing jerseys number 1 and 3.

The two men looked at the divided teams, their faces full of bitterness and helplessness.

Their skills weren't very good, and they didn't have an advantage in height.

Now, with the addition of Lin Fan, who hadn't played in a long time...

The two of them seemed to already see... the scene of being utterly defeated.

Song Yi, the big dark guy, and the tall strong guy were the complete opposite.

The three of them exchanged glances, their faces almost splitting with laughter.

"Don't worry, we'll just play casually."

Soon, Song Yi started the game and passed the ball to the tall strong guy.

The tall strong guy then passed it to the big dark guy.

Then, the big dark guy quickly dribbled and went for a layup.

"Swish!"

The basketball went into the net, a successful score! In the next round, number 1 started the game, and he was quickly stuck by the tall strong guy.

Helpless, he had to pass the ball to number 3.

Number 3 dribbled for a while, then was directly stolen by the big dark guy.

Then, the big dark guy dribbled again and quickly went for a layup.

"Swish!"

Another score! In the third round, number 1 started the game again. Seeing that number 3 was being tightly guarded by the big dark guy, he had no choice but to pass the basketball to Lin Fan.

Song Yi, who was standing not far from Lin Fan, chuckled and said, "Lin Fan, I'm coming to guard you. You better be careful."

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Lin Fan.

"Whoosh!"

However, before Song Yi could even get close, Lin Fan dribbled like a gust of wind, quickly sweeping past him.

The tall strong guy's eyebrows slightly raised, and he quickly stepped up to block.

Lin Fan didn't care at all, and a fake move with the ball directly shook him off.

The big dark guy quickly gave up on number 3 and came to block.

But, it was too late.

"Swish!"

Lin Fan took two steps for a layup, easily sinking the ball.

Score!

"Good!" Numbers 1 and 3 both shouted happily.

Song Yi said with some surprise, "Lin Fan, your skills... are pretty good!"

"They're alright," Lin Fan said with a smile.

The streetball continued.

The tall strong guy started the game, was tightly defended by number 1, and had to pass to Song Yi.

Song Yi smiled and said, "Lin Fan, your dribbling speed was very fast just now. Come and see if you can steal my ball."

"Slap!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan raised his hand and slapped, and the basketball went directly into his hands.

Song Yi was instantly stunned.

That's right!

He did say to try and steal the ball, but he didn't say to do it so quickly!

Lin Fan, however, didn't pay much attention to that. He turned around, dribbled quickly, and went straight for a layup.

"Swish!"

Another score!

"Great shot!" Numbers 1 and 3 both shouted excitedly.

Song Yi stared blankly and said, "Lin Fan, you haven't played basketball in a long time?"

Lin Fan nodded.

Song Yi: ...

If this counted as not playing basketball for a long time, then what was he? Had he never played basketball?
