Chapter 115: Tang Feng Refuses to Cooperate with the International Mathematical Association! (Part 1/3)

At this time, Gao Cheng and others arrived.

“Tang Feng, when did you get here?” Seeing him, Gao Cheng hurriedly greeted him.

“I just got here a little while ago,” Tang Feng answered.

“Wang Liang, are you okay? You look so down. Were you beaten up?” Gao Cheng jokingly asked the person Tang Feng had just dealt with, who didn’t respond and left with a gloomy face.

“Tang Feng, what happened? You didn’t have a feud with him, did you?” Gao Cheng was puzzled.

“They challenged me to a game just now,” Tang Feng replied.

“A game? One against three?” Gao Cheng was stunned.

“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded.

“The outcome must have been you beating them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t look like that,” Gao Cheng said.

“Yes. I didn’t let them score at all,” Tang Feng responded.

“You were too harsh! They were three together and didn’t score a single point?” Gao Cheng was incredibly shocked.

He was aware of Wang Liang’s basketball skills.

While not exceptional, he was a key player in the Computer Science Department.

This indicated that Tang Feng’s basketball skills were truly divine!

“If they hadn’t provoked me intentionally, maybe I would have let them score a few points,” Tang Feng said lightly.

“You’re really incredible!” Gao Cheng couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

“Are all the team members here?” Tang Feng asked.

“They’re all here.” Gao Cheng introduced the Mathematics Department basketball team members to Tang Feng.

“Let’s split into two teams. Gao Cheng’s team and the rest form another team. Let’s have a scrimmage! I want to assess each of your basketball skills,” Tang Feng organized.

“Aren’t you participating?” Gao Cheng was surprised.

“I’ll sit this one out for now,” Tang Feng replied.

Soon, the scrimmage started.

Tang Feng carefully observed the performance of the team members.

Unknowingly, twenty minutes passed.

Tang Feng called a halt to the game.

The team members gathered around him.

“I’ve identified your issues. When I get back, I’ll draft a detailed training plan for each of you. If you stick to it, I believe you’ll see significant improvement in a short time,” Tang Feng told them.

“Tang Feng, what does this mean? Aren’t you participating in the games?” Gao Cheng looked puzzled.

“I will! But basketball is about team coordination. Relying solely on my strength, even if it’s exceptional, can’t beat five opponents. So, we need everyone’s cooperation,” Tang Feng explained.

“Wang Liang and the others were no match for you. Your basketball skills are clearly superior to Huang Dongliang’s! I think as long as you can suppress Huang Dongliang, we have a chance of winning the championship,” Gao Cheng said.

“I can suppress Huang Dongliang, but what about the other four? You need to suppress them,” Tang Feng stated.

“Tang Feng, honestly, our skills can’t compare to those professional players,” Gao Cheng sighed.

“You’re the captain of the Mathematics Department basketball team. Don’t be so negative! I’m here to help you improve your basketball skills. As long as you follow the training plan I make, you’ll be able to suppress them,” Tang Feng confidently said.

“I want to pass the captaincy to you. I think you’re the one who truly deserves to be captain,” Gao Cheng expressed his thoughts.

“Who’s the captain isn’t important. What’s important is winning the championship,” Tang Feng said.

Throughout, he was concerned about the system-issued mission.

After all, it was 20,000 points at stake!

This was the highest reward for a single mission since he had obtained the system!

No matter what, he had to complete this mission!

“You should keep it! With you as captain, we all agree! It’s good for the whole team,” Gao Cheng persisted.

Seeing no alternative, Tang Feng agreed.

“When is the first game?” Tang Feng inquired.

“The day after tomorrow at 4 PM. Mathematics Department vs. Physics Department,” Gao Cheng answered.

“Is it a knockout system or a points system?” Tang Feng continued.

“Knockout system! A points system would take too long! Everyone’s main mission is still to study; we can’t spend too much time on sports,” Gao Cheng explained.

“How strong is the Physics Department?” Tang Feng asked.

“They’re pretty good! The number of male students in the Physics Department is about the same as in our Mathematics Department.”

“In that case, you guys play the first half! Depending on the results, I’ll decide whether to play in the second half,” Tang Feng decided.

“Captain, why don’t you play in the first half? Get a big lead! That way, we’ll have a psychological advantage,” a team member suggested.

“No!” Tang Feng shook his head, “That way, you’ll likely slack off during the game! And if the opponent sees a big score difference, it could easily turn the game into garbage time! That won’t help improve your basketball skills at all.”

“I think the captain makes sense! We’ll give it our all in the first half. If that doesn’t work, we still have the captain as our trump card,” another player agreed.

“That’s exactly what I mean! Play freely in the first half without any burden! If you perform well, then I might not need to play in the second half,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

“Alright, we’ll do as you say!” Gao Cheng and the others agreed.

At that moment, Tang Feng’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Su Xiaoli calling.

He quickly pressed the answer button.

After ending the call, Tang Feng told Gao Cheng and the others, “I have to have dinner with my girlfriend! I’ll prepare the training plans for each of you tonight and give them to you tomorrow.”

Then, Tang Feng said goodbye to Gao Cheng and others and left.

“I never thought I’d have a chance to win the campus basketball championship during my university days!” one of the team members couldn’t help but express his amazement.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect it either! Every year, the championship has always been the Physical Education Department’s. We never had much hope. If it weren’t for Tang Feng joining, we definitely wouldn’t stand a chance.”

“Tang Feng’s basketball skills are indeed high! If he had played basketball in high school, he could have been admitted to our university on a basketball scholarship.”

“Not to mention basketball, even if he participated in mathematics competitions, he could have been admitted. But he chose to take the college entrance exam instead and scored full marks! This is the first time I’ve heard of someone so incredible!”

“It’s clear he did it on purpose. There are at least eighty people who were admitted to Jingcheng University through mathematics competitions, but a full score in the college entrance exam is unique in the whole country! Especially his full score in Chinese is really unbelievable!”
