I came up to the field and looked at the score. We were two points behind again, so we lost by ten points. There were only four minutes left. They had to attack forcefully and perform at a high level.
The vice-president scored a goal, so we paused. Now it's our turn to attack again. When I came up, I replaced Fan Tong as the shooting guard. Actually, they didn't know that I often practiced any position. Other than my body being too weak to play center, the other positions were a piece of cake.
The two forwards and the center forward quickly went down to the front field. Zhang Lei and I protected the ball in the backfield.
Just after half the court, the opposing vice-captain arranged a joint defense formation. The ball was handed to me. Zhang Lei and I were old partners. He handed the ball to me first to let me warm up. The other party saw that I was new and thought that I was easy to bully, so I beat him at his own game. I deliberately moved the ball high and pretended to be unstable. My hands and feet were still trembling.
Sure enough, the opponent sent out a small player who was five centimeters shorter than me. He pounced on me. Seeing that the situation was favorable, I dribbled and turned around, passing him. Then, I used my crotch to block, avoiding the second opponent who pounced on me. Then, I dribbled and turned left. In these two seconds, I passed two opponents. The opponent saw that the joint defense was about to be broken by me. He saw that the opponent's center forward ignored Fan Xiong beside him and rushed towards my position. I saw him jump up and pretend to shoot. Everyone was fooled by me. They all looked up at the basket, but after a while, the ball still didn't reach the basket. Instead, it flew into Fan Xiong's arms.
This was my first time partnering with Fan Xiong. Fan Xiong quickly reacted. Without Liu Yuqiang's tall defense, Fan Xiong inserted himself into the opponent's three-second penalty area. He was in no place. With a swing of his arm and a step, he came to the basket. He was originally more than 1.9 meters tall and had a certain jumping ability. He came to slam dunk like a windmill.
It was an ordinary slam dunk in a professional basketball game, but on a university basketball court, it still shocked the FANS by the side of the court. They screamed, and the girls who came to watch the fun kept screaming," So handsome, so cool, so stylish!”
I looked at those girls and shook my head. I started to get used to the infatuation of university girls.
When the opponent serves, we will all quickly return to defend against the five of us. We can't be slow at all.
It was the player who was the first to pounce on me. I watched him dribble the ball slowly across the court. I said to Zhang Lei in a deep voice,"Later, I'll steal his ball. You quickly follow up and don't be a little late.”
Zhang Lei quickly reached a consensus with me.
As soon as I finished speaking, the player ran towards me with the ball. I knew that he wanted to take revenge for the sword I had just stabbed him in front of all the girls. Unfortunately, he had the wrong idea again because I was very talented in basketball. Even if Zhang Lei fought me, he was just impressed and forgot to tell me about Zhang Lei's strength. He was the best point guard in the province. And I'm the provincial high school basketball scoring champion (and the best shooting guard). How can he compare to me?
I arrogantly grabbed the left hand of the player who was dribbling the ball. Just as my hand was about to reach the ball, he changed. I saw him change hands and dribble, and I also changed. I became much faster than him. My right hand quickly blocked his right hand and intercepted the basketball in his hand halfway. I didn't have time to dribble, so I pushed the ball back and passed it to Zhang Lei behind me. I didn't look back because I had worked with him for many years. I brushed past the player who made a mistake and ran as fast as I could. No player could catch up with me. Only Zhang Lei's pass was in the air and accurately landed above my head. I jumped and took advantage of the situation to make a three-step layup. It was done.
The score was pulled down to only six points. Two three-pointers could settle the score, but in a real game, one three-pointer was already amazing. It was a bit risky to have two three-pointers in a row.
The opponent was caught off guard. I was happy for my debut in university. I didn't expect to get an assist on my first touch and score a goal on my second. It was so wonderful. The cheers were not any worse than Fan Xiong's slam dunk. I could even hear the girls shouting the same slogan. Other than that, there were also some boys who were clearly shouting. This time, it was all thanks to Luo Tianyu.
The unhappiness from a few days ago had been cleared away by this match.
The other party called for a time-out. They didn't know anything about a newcomer like me. If they had heard about my basketball match in the provincial high school, then they wouldn't have underestimated me like they did earlier.
I thought happily in my heart. I didn't have to worry about the rest because I could already see the light of victory. They didn't have more people to watch me because all of our main players weren't easy to deal with. If they assigned another person to help defend against me, then they were destined to lose.
Just as I was happily thinking about it, Captain Fan Xiong came to my side and said," Luo Tianyu, I didn't know that you were so good at basketball. I've only heard rumors about you before, but now that I've seen you play, you really have an invincible spirit. We were in such a bad situation, but you turned it into nothingness in less than half a minute. Even I admire you a little.”
I giggled." Boss, don't say that. Compared to you, I'm nothing. If it weren't for you, how could I have played as well as I did?”
At this time, Coach Hong said to us,""Don't be happy too early. They're still in the lead. We haven't won yet, we've only regained some strength. The next two minutes were the most crucial part of the match. You have to seize the time and use all your strength to salvage the situation.”
"Yes, we are the best!" The five of us shouted the same slogan at Coach Hong.
When he got on the field, the other side kicked off and it was still the same player. The difference was that he was not as impetuous as before. Under such circumstances, he could not speculate anymore. Then he could only fight with his true abilities.
He dribbled past half the court and kept a distance of three meters from me. I was about to pounce when he had the tendency to choose to pass the ball. I stopped and he stopped. Just like that, he wasted more than ten seconds.
I turned around and gave Zhang Lei a look. Then, I opened my arms and grabbed him like an adult catching a chick. He might have been a little concerned. Seeing that I had just gone up, he passed the ball to the third position and handed it to their center forward, Liu Yuqiang. Because we were using a man-to-man tactic, Liu Yuqiang only had Captain Fan Xiong to defend. If Fan Xiong couldn't defend, then Liu Yuqiang might score another two points and we might be pushed to the cliff.
Seeing this situation, he could not continue with the old routine. I bypassed Zhang Lei and prepared to steal the ball from the center forward. He seemed to have expected me to steal the ball, but he passed it back to the guard who had passed the ball to him from the outside. The guard was left empty because I wasn't defending. He simply jumped and went out of the three-point line. They had a plan, but I had brains, speed, and ability.
I'm begging the heavens to help this brother of mine, hoping that they won't make a three-pointer.
One second, two seconds. Everyone else in the court, except for me, didn't move. They all stared at the ball as if the ball would definitely go in. Only I took two seconds to circle around Captain Fan Xiong and jump up. My personality on the basketball court was to do things that others didn't approve of. The ball swayed twice in the hoop. Just as the opposing players were about to celebrate, the ball inexplicably bounced out and I jumped up high to get it.
I shouted,"Zhang Lei." When I turned around in the air, I saw Zhang Lei sprinting out. When I made my move, he had already run to the center line, surpassing the last player in the opponent's defensive line by three body lengths. The ball passed through my accurate pass and fell to Zhang Lei's side. The ball bounced on the ground and then jumped more than one meter high. Fortunately, Zhang Lei pounced forward and took a few big strides to the basket after receiving the ball. The opponent's player also felt it at this time. Everyone thought that Zhang Lei would make a layup. Zhang Lei dribbled the ball and took a step back. Then, he jumped up and fadeaway the ball in a beautiful arc in the air before it fell into the basket.
Applause, screams, ups and downs, the lively atmosphere of the stadium was once again pushed to the peak.
