The coach of the Quaker team at the University of Pennsylvania saw that the team fell behind at the beginning due to the abnormal performance of his main organization guard Andy Toul, and wanted to catch up with some points by substitution.

However, his efforts were useless. David Krasge, who came on as a substitute, was not as skilled and physical as Andy Toul. He could not resist Lu Qiujian's increasingly superb trash talk. After persisting for less than three minutes, the score difference was widened to double digits; at this point, the first half of the game was not yet half.

This is also impossible. The Ivy League has rarely issued basketball scholarships. Those who can enter these prestigious schools are elite talents. When facing the cutting-edge professional knowledge they have learned, they are always easy to forget the game aside. Then again, without this desire for knowledge, they will not be able to enter these schools.

Even if the third guard of the Catholics's organization came on the court, it was not able to change the situation on the court, and the gap between the Princeton Tigers and their opponents was always slowly widening.

"Spencer, the shot is beautiful!" Lu Qiujian gave Spencer a thumbs up, who had just scored a three-pointer. With the victory of one game after another, these teammates' confidence became more and more strong, and the performance of the game was better and better. If this continues, they might go further after entering the championship.

"You passed it beautifully!" Spencer waved. When he received the ball just now, the closest to him was Quaker team power forward Koko Achibon. He knew that he would not have time to stop Spencer anyway, so he could only watch him shoot and score.

The Quaker team attacked, center Angna Oyecha saw that his organizational defender was in no state, so he passed the ball to small forward Jeff Sif. Siff dribbled into the Tigers' half. Seeing that his organizational defender became a decoration, the Tigers' outside line was equivalent to an extra defender, and he could not find any chance, so he had to hang the ball to Oyecha and let him play Patrice alone.

Although they are also from Africa, Patrice obviously has no intention of giving face to his fellow villagers, and slapped Oyecha's turn and shot outside the three-point line. Not only defense, but even the Quaker team's offense was in trouble.

There is a player who has a big loophole when defending and it doesn't play any role when attacking. This is simply five-on-four! The Pennsylvania coach cannot slow down the trend of widening the score gap until he uses up all the timeouts.

"Beautiful job! Try to resolve the battle within ten minutes of the second half!" Coach Thompson went out to chat with a blonde female reporter after just saying a word in the locker room. It seemed that he was very satisfied with the performance of the players.

"The opponent's basic skills of the center are not very solid. After receiving the ball, you are always used to looking around first. You can hurry up and double-team!" Lu Qiujian took over Thompson's work and guided his teammates based on the observations in the first half. "Jeff Sever's right knee seems to be injured. Will, your movements during defense can be more aggressive. I believe he will be afraid! And Lei, your opponent..."

The second half was about to start, and Jeff Sif hit a three-pointer, but before their cheers could end, Lu Qiujian was in the same position, and the same three-pointer was reunited. The Quaker team's momentum was beaten before it even got up!

Just eight minutes into the second half, the score difference was widened to more than twenty-five points. Coach Thompson began to gradually substitute people and rest. He tried to make a final impact, but still couldn't find hope to close the score. The opponent's coach no longer wasted his energy and replaced his main force. The last ten minutes of the game became garbage time!

After the game, cheers rang out again in the Vladivos indoor sports field, and supporters of the Princeton Tigers knew that after defeating the Pennsylvania Quaker team, the entire Ivy League could never find their opponents again, and they could even think about the tournament from now on.

The competition was smooth sailing, but Lu Qiujian's paper was not moving. Until a week after the game with the Quaker team, Lu Qiujian still did not receive a reply email from "Science".

What happened? Did the editor forget his paper, or did the reviewer not understand the key points of his paper? Or was the steps not completely necessary to be revised? Even if the time has not exceeded the standard review period of "Science", according to estimates, it is time to determine the layout of the next issue.

Lu Qiujian vaguely felt something was wrong! Logically speaking, such an important article would definitely be published as soon as possible, and it was not an exaggeration to even become the main article in a certain issue. But why haven’t I received any reply yet?

Should I go to Professor Thurston to inquire about inside information? If I want to modify it, I don’t know if I need to change it back to Princeton’s signature. If this is the case, it would be too depressing!

Forget it, wait a little longer. Maybe because this paper is too important, a reviewer dared not make it alone, and asked Science to invite more industry experts to review it, right? Lu Qiujian thought about the better things.

"nat, Harvard will come to Princeton to play next month. I looked at the date. It happened to be the weekend. Will you come here?" Lu Qiujian chatted with Natalie in front of the computer.

"Come to see how my beloved alma mater is ravaged by you?" Natalie quickly replied.

"No, no, no, that's not what it means! I just want to meet you!" Lu Qiujian chatted with the elf opposite the computer with a smile. Every time he chatted with her, he always made people feel happy, which made the depressed mood of not knowing the following article improve a lot.

"Well~~Let's take a look. If I have time, I will consider going there!" Natalie finally gave up after a long time of entanglement.

Dingdong! Just as he was about to cheer, the email prompted the sound! Lu Qiujian's heartbeat began to accelerate. Could it be that the reply from "Science" has arrived?

After taking a deep breath and calming down his excitement, Lu Qiujian closed the chat dialog box with Natalie and clicked on the email address. The computer he specially assembled was very fast. As soon as the mouse pressed the page of the inbox, it appeared in front of him.

It was indeed a reply from "Science"! Let me see what was written in it? I wonder if my article will be on the cover of the homepage! Lu Qiujian clicked and opened an email.

When the email was opened, the smile on his face froze. He saw the words "rejection" written in the email. Lu Qiujian stood up with a brush. What's going on!
Chapter completed!
