Liu Ming didn't waste time. He clapped his hands and said, "Alright, now you all go change your clothes, and then come back to the court."
"Oh, right, Kanna is here because I invited her. She'll be joining your Girls' Basketball Club. You can take her to the changing room with you to change clothes later."
"Really?" Tomoka was instantly surprised, her eyes fixed on Liu Ming, hoping to hear a more precise confirmation.
Maho and the others also looked at Kanna happily.
Currently, the entire Girls' Basketball Club only had six of them. While they could form a team, for the entire basketball team, the number of people was still a bit small.
"Kanna, you're so mean! I clearly invited you too, but you didn't agree. Now that Xiao Ming Ge said it, you agreed." Miyu's expression was completely different.
"Was there such a thing?" Kanna blinked blankly, looking completely clueless.
Miyu was speechless, and even more depressed.
"I brought the person here, how can it be fake? Hurry up and change your clothes. We've already wasted a lot of time. Do you still want to practice?" Liu Ming said.
"Eh, why do we have to change? It's so cute. If you're worried about us exposing ourselves, then you can rest assured, because we're all wearing safety shorts."
After Maho finished speaking, she actually pulled up her skirt, revealing the safety shorts underneath.
And not only that, she even went so far as to lift up the skirts of the remaining few, causing a chorus of gasps.
Saki really couldn't take it anymore and gave Maho a hard smack.
Maho innocently covered her head and said unwillingly, "What's the big deal? It's just for Big Brother to see, what's so bad about it? Besides, you all are wearing safety shorts."
"Even with safety shorts, it's not okay." Tomoka said, her face red, loudly refuting.
"Huh? But, Tomoka, weren't you always hoping Big Brother would come over? Now that he's here to teach us basketball, you're even bothered by such a small thing?"
Maho looked at Tomoka strangely, making her feel completely uncomfortable.
"I'm not, you're talking nonsense, I didn't." Tomoka's face got even redder, even starting to steam.
"It's just looking at safety shorts, Hinata has no problem with it at all."
After Hinata spoke, she pulled up her own skirt. Just like Maho earlier, she revealed her safety shorts.
"Hinata, that's not good. Girls need to learn to take care of themselves and cherish themselves." Liu Ming said, gently rubbing Hinata's head.
"Oh." Hinata responded, letting go of her hand.
"Alright, Maho, stop messing around and go change your clothes quickly." Liu Ming gave Maho a chop to the head.
"Hehe~" Maho happily ran over, took Kanna's hand, and together they ran towards the changing room.
Tomoka looked at Xiao Lingyin next to Liu Ming and asked, "Big Brother, does Rin-chan not need to change clothes?"
"Xiao Lingyin is a bit weak, so I didn't plan for her to join the Girls' Basketball Club, but she will help you in other ways." Liu Ming said.
Although she didn't understand the latter half of Liu Ming's sentence, Tomoka still nodded, then turned and followed Maho and the others.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Miyu and the others finally came out dressed.
Soon, a line of people stood before Liu Ming.
Each of them looked at Liu Ming full of energy.
Seeing this, Liu Ming also became serious.
He first scanned everyone, then asked, "Ahem~ If you're new to basketball, please raise your hand."
"Me, me, me!" Maho raised both hands high.
"Oh," Hinata also raised her hand.
Then, one after another.
All seven, except Tomoka, raised their hands.
"Alright, besides Tomoka, the rest of you are all beginners. I'm really curious, who gave you the courage to make such a bet? Aren't you afraid of losing?" Liu Ming asked helplessly.
"That's why we called Big Brother here! As long as Big Brother is here, there's no problem," Maho said as if it were obvious.
"Thwack." Liu Ming lightly chopped her hand.
"Ouch!" Maho cried out in pain.
"Hehe," Miyu secretly laughed, but when she noticed Liu Ming's gaze, she immediately became serious.
"First, I need to emphasize something to you all: whether we win this game or not doesn't depend on me, but on you, because I can't play."
"Although basketball has tactics, with only one week, you don't even know the basics of basketball, let alone tactics."
"Therefore, this week I will only help you with the fundamentals, nothing but the fundamentals."
"So, if you really want to win, you have to practice hard, practice desperately. The whole process will be very tough. Even so, are you still not going to give up?"
Liu Ming looked at everyone seriously, unknowingly exuding a slight aura of pressure on them.
Among the seven people present, except for Kanna who felt nothing, the remaining six felt like they were prey being targeted, and a shiver ran down their spines.
"We won't give up," Tomoka said solemnly, suppressing her unease.
Tomoka's words gave the girls a boost of confidence, and they all looked at Liu Ming with burning eyes.
'Very good eyes,' Liu Ming secretly nodded.
"The upcoming training will be very strict, so you need to be mentally prepared," Liu Ming said seriously.
Facing the serious Liu Ming, Maho and Miyu, the two most mischievous ones, dared not act up anymore and stood there obediently.
"Understood!" everyone responded loudly.
"Very good, I'm satisfied with your attitude. Now, I'll give you five minutes to warm up, and then we'll start training."
With Liu Ming leading by example, Maho and the others dared not be distracted, each diligently doing their warm-up exercises.
Liu Ming, meanwhile, was thinking about what he should teach them.
They were just a group of elementary school students, and beginners at that. Fundamentals were a must, but just the fundamentals probably wouldn't improve their strength much.
With Kanna as a cheat, Liu Ming wasn't worried about losing the game.
However, the Girls' Basketball Club was, after all, founded by Maho and the others. If they could win solely by Kanna's efforts, they would probably feel bad.
But once he had to consider Tomoka and the others' feelings, Kanna couldn't display too much strength.
This made it a bit difficult.
Of course, only a little.
