Then some time passed.

In June, the temperature in Jinchuan City has become noticeably hotter. Early morning is the coolest time of the day. The classroom is filled with a fresh atmosphere. The breeze sneaks in from the open windows, gently blowing the curtains and making a slight rustling sound.

Li Xu had just sat down when someone patted his shoulder from behind.

Li Xu turned his head and saw that it was An Duoduo.

"You're back?" Li Xu said.

I haven't seen An Duoduo for a while, and she seems to have become whiter. Maybe it's because she has been soaking in the water all this time?

An Duoduo nodded, then took out a medal from her school uniform pocket with a smile.

Li Xu's eyes lit up, "Oh, it's a gold medal!"

An Duoduo waved the medal in front of Li Xu, and then said generously, "This is for you!"

Li Xu blinked. "How can this be so embarrassing?"

An Duoduo said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. This medal is nothing to me. I have a lot of them at home. As long as my grades meet the standards, the medals and such are not important."

Li Xu took the medal in his hand and weighed it, then asked curiously, "Is this really made of gold?"

"How could that be? Of course it's not gold. I even doubt it's gold-plated. So don't worry about it. It's worthless."

Li Xu smiled and said, "Then I'll take it as a souvenir, thank you." After a pause, he added, "Although you said this thing is not valuable or important, I will keep it well."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you." An Duoduo said in a nonchalant tone.

Li Xu put the medal in his pocket and casually asked, "Have you reached the standard of a second-level athlete?"

An Duoduo shook her head.

Li Xu was slightly stunned. "This hasn't reached level two yet?"

"It's level one, hehe." An Duoduo blew gently on the dragon whisker bangs on her forehead and said with some pride.

"congratulations."

……

In the afternoon physical education class, I played basketball with students from other classes.

Since Li Xu can drive a good car, he must have enough talent in sports.

Some athletic talents are unique to a particular sport, but some talents are universal. People who engage in sports, no matter which sport, whether they focus on strength or technique, need to have sufficient coordination.

Li Xu was born with excellent balance.

However, basketball is a sport that requires a lot of proficiency. Even the most talented people need a lot of practice to gradually become better.

At least various offensive skills and ball control cannot be improved in a short period of time.

Li Xu doesn't pursue these things. His purpose of playing basketball is to run and jump and make himself sweat. Since he can't improve his offense in a short time, he will just work hard on his defense.

Although he was only about 1.8 meters tall, he was considered tall in a school setting. Moreover, his arm span was longer than his height, which visually reflected his slender limbs. Compared with the common Tyrannosaurus Rex physique in China, his height of about 1.8 meters made him even more effective in rebounding and blocking shots than some 1.9-meter-tall guys...

If their standing reach is about the same height, he is more flexible.

Li Xu also gradually fell in love with the thrill of grabbing rebounds and blocking shots.

It’s decided. Rodman will be my idol from now on.

When it comes to playing basketball, different positions can bring different fun.

Grab the rebound, then lift it high immediately, find a teammate to pass it to, and go up to help teammates with screens when you have time. These things do not require particularly high technical content. Once you know the principles, you can do them well with a little practice.

Sometimes I can stand under the backboard, grab the rebound, and jump up to make one or two shots.

Isn’t the fun of basketball just coming slowly?

This game was a thrilling one. Li Xu didn't count, but he'd blocked at least seven or eight shots. During a break, he sat on the sidelines with a fellow athlete...they'd just randomly formed a team. This athlete's name was Liu Ping, and he'd known An Duoduo for several years.

At this moment, their group was defeated. An Duoduo was practicing ball control not far away, and Liu Ping was chatting with Li Xu.

"Brother, you really have great talent, but it's a pity that you started playing basketball too late..."

"Haha, just for fun."

The two chatted casually. Li Xu felt a little hot and took off his school uniform. With a "ding dong" sound, the medal that An Duoduo gave him fell to the ground.

Li Xu picked it up. Liu Ping, who was standing next to him, saw it and asked curiously, "What kind of medal is this?"

Li Xu smiled and said nonchalantly, "An Duoduo gave it to me. It's the gold medal she won in the swimming competition two days ago."

Liu Ping's eyes widened immediately. "Let me see?"

It was no big deal, so Li Xu handed it over to Liu Ping.

Liu Ping's eyes became a little dazed. He looked at it carefully, then returned it to Li Xu with a complicated expression: "This thing...she actually gave it to you?"

Li Xu asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"To An Duoduo, these medals are more important than her life!"

"Ok?"

"During the school sports meet last semester, An Duoduo won several first-place medals in the sprints. A boy from the athletic team was playing with a 200-meter gold medal and wanted to tease An Duoduo. He said, 'You have so many medals anyway, why not give this one to me?'"

Li Xu vaguely thought of something and asked, "Well, what then?"

Liu Ping recalled the scene at that time, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "And then... then An Duoduo threw him down."

"He fell!" Liu Ping sighed deeply.

Li Xu blinked: "Fall?"

Liu Ping's expression still shows that he still finds the scene at that time a little bit unbelievable.

"Since then, everyone in the training team has been afraid of An Duoduo."

"I also understand that for An Duoduo, a medal, something that represents honor, is as important as her life."

Liu Ping's expression was a bit complicated, his eyes fixed on the medal in Li Xu's hand: "The last one was just an ordinary school sports medal. It's completely different from this provincial medal!"

"It was actually given to you?" Liu Ping's expression was incredulous.

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, staring at the medal in his hand in a daze.

At this moment, An Duoduo came over and noticed the medal in Li Xu's hand. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Liu Ping was about to speak when Li Xu quickly interrupted him, saying, "We're discussing tactics!"

Liu Ping felt a little strange. Why would Li Xu lie? Weren't they talking about the medal? Without thinking too much, he corrected him, "What are you talking about? Weren't we just talking about this medal?"

Li Xu was speechless for a moment.

As expected, An Duoduo's eyes widened. "What's wrong with this medal?"

Li Xu lowered his head deeply.

Liu Ping, who hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation, jokingly said, "I didn't expect you to give such an important medal to Li Xu... I was just talking about how you threw Xu Tingwei over the school sports medal issue..."

A blush quickly appeared on An Duoduo's face. This was the first time Li Xu saw An Duoduo like this.

Then the next moment, the basketball flew to Liu Ping's face.

"Oops, my hand slipped. How could you catch the ball with your face?" An Duoduo said innocently.

Li Xu subconsciously touched his face...

Terrified.
