Both teams officially entered the stadium. Unexpectedly, the US team had a conflict with Zhou Shaojian, Knowles. The players on both sides began to warm up.
Knowles ran over and said with some disdain," You don't have to struggle tonight. You'll lose miserably." Some of the Chinese team members wanted to rush up and fight after hearing this. It seems that Brother Jian didn't beat you up enough last time.
" Little bastard, you think you haven't taught me enough? Let's see how I'll teach you today," Zhou Shaojian said to Knowles disdainfully. Although he said it casually, Zhou Shaojian knew that tonight would be a tough battle.
" Knowles, what are you doing? Are you causing trouble again? Get back here!" A muscular and handsome man from the US team said angrily.
" Captain, I'm just telling our opponents that there's a big gap between them and me," Knowles replied casually.
" Knowles, you'll only make your opponents think that you're looking down on them. This isn't the first time you've done this. In the previous games, you've always provoked your opponents like this. As a basketball player, you should have some manners, you know?" The person who had just called Knowles back said.
" Yes, yes," Knowles answered perfunctorily as he walked.
" Captain, Knowles is too condescending," someone beside him ran over and said. It was obvious that Knowles 'actions had caused some dissatisfaction in the team.
" Let him be. If this goes on, he'll be the one to suffer sooner or later," the captain of the American university team said, somewhat giving up.
" I'm sorry, Knowles has caused you trouble. I'm the captain of the American university team. My name is Qiao Wen. I apologize on behalf of Knowles," the captain of the American university team said sincerely.
" It's fine, but he'll be the one suffering if this continues," Zhou Shaojian replied.

The American team also looked at Zhou Shaojian in surprise because, in their knowledge, almost no one in China could do this.
Only Knowles looked a little angry because he felt that Zhou Shaojian was humiliating him. Knowles dribbled the ball and pushed forward. After a few turns, Knowles rushed in. It was obvious that he wanted to return it with a slam dunk. Knowles jumped up and was about to slam dunk when Zhou Shaojian ran over from behind and gave Knowles a big hat.
" Brother Jian's hat is good!" Zhang Ruocheng and Shi Yuce shouted in the dormitory.
