Chapter 89: The Ball Game

  Zhan Fei and others found a tree shade to sit down, then waited. After five or six minutes, the referee of this game finally arrived. The person was a tall middle-aged man, who was the basketball coach Wang Yutang of the school.

  "After arriving, Wang Yutang spoke up: 'Alright, let me explain the rules for this one-on-one match. This time we're playing half court basketball, with a limit of ten balls. Whoever scores ten first wins. You all know the other basketball rules, no need for me to elaborate, right?'"

  The two of them responded with a sound, and immediately, Wang Yutang took the basketball and came to the middle of the court. The two of them also stood on either side of Wang Yutang. Then, Wang Yutang directly threw the ball up, and the two of them jumped up at the same time.

  However, the black man was taller than Wei Peng and his jumping ability was not bad either. As a result, the ball was hugged in his hands, and then he quickly dribbled towards the basket. Wei Peng's reaction was also extremely fast, and he swiftly blocked him, stretching out his hand to intercept the ball.

  The title of "Basketball Prince" is not called in vain. The black man was careless for a moment, and Wang Yutang snatched the ball away from him. Wang Yutang also dribbled out of the three-point line and prepared to drive past his defender. The black man's defense was equally impressive, with his arms stretched out as wide as two meters, forming a solid defensive wall.

  Wei Peng moved forward two or three meters, and several times almost had the ball cut off by the black man. Wei Peng also understood that he might not be able to rush under the basket with the ball, and if he defended for a long time, he would lose. Although his dribbling was slightly better than the black man's, it wasn't much stronger, so he could only choose to make a long-range jump shot.

  Thinking, Wei Peng took the ball slightly away from the black man, then jumped up, and at this time, the black man also rushed up, his tall body soared into the air, blocking Wei Peng's aerial shot. Affected by the black man, the angle of Wei Peng's shot was slightly higher, he himself was sure that this ball would not go in, so Wei Peng immediately rushed towards the backboard.

  The black man was the same, and the black sprint was a little faster than Wei Peng. In three or two steps, he came under the backboard, grabbed the ball that had been smashed on the backboard and fell down, and then he took the ball directly out of the three-point line, while Wei Peng stood opposite him.

  Then, like Wei Peng, a black man came up with a jump shot, and it was a three-pointer. Wei Peng knew that he couldn't cover the opponent's hat due to his height disadvantage, so he could only make a few distracting movements, then fixed his eyes on the ball, but saw the ball flying high, and accurately fell into the basket, surprisingly still an empty-net goal!

  Wei Peng also gave a thumbs up to the black man and said: "Awesome!"

  The black man replied in slightly awkward Chinese: "You're not bad either."

  At this moment, Wei Xinyi, who was sitting under the tree shade, also said: "My brother is too disappointing, he actually lost the first ball, I'm afraid his position as the basketball prince will be taken by that black man." Upon hearing Wei Xinyi's words, Zhan Fei said: "Peng Ge is not bad in terms of technique, but he is slightly inferior in physical quality."

  At this time, Han Qing suddenly spoke up: "It doesn't matter, even if Wei Peng loses, that black guy won't become the basketball prince of our school. He's too ugly." In terms of aesthetic standards for Chinese people, whites are somewhat acceptable, but blacks are absolutely unacceptable.

  So the title of basketball prince, this black man should not be taken away, and next, Wei Peng also tried his best to fight against the opponent, but in the end he still lost, after he scored the sixth ball, the black man threw the tenth ball into the basket.

  But many students were disappointed, originally thinking that the basketball prince could defeat strong enemies and continue the legend, but in the end they lost. And there were very few people cheering for that black man, after all, he looked too far from the prince in terms of the aesthetic view of the Chinese people.

  And the one who lost, Wei Peng, didn't seem to be too affected. After this match, the two of them actually became more affectionate towards each other. The two big guys then walked together in the direction of Wei Xinyi.

  Wei Peng immediately said, "Xin Yi, why did you call our schoolmate over? You made me nervous and lose the game." Upon hearing Wei Peng's words, Wei Xin Yi said, "You're too shameless! You lost yourself, yet you still look for excuses!"

  At this time, the black man said: "Wei Peng, is this your sister? She's so beautiful!"

  Wei Peng listened and said: "That's right, but don't hit on my sister, although you're called Gao Shuai, you have nothing to do with being handsome."

  Hearing Wei Peng's words, Gao Shuai said: "That's because you don't understand my charm. Alright, since you've made good on your bet, I'll take my leave for now and we can play again next time."

  Gao Shuai said and left, while Wei Xinyi glared at Wei Peng and asked: "What bet did he say?"

  Wei Peng wiped his forehead and cursed in his heart: "Black face, blacker heart!"

  Wei Peng said with a sly tone, "I've seen this kid play basketball several times and he's really impressive. I wanted to challenge him, but he never agreed. In the end, I had to use my trump card - I told him that if he could beat me, I'd introduce him to my beautiful sister. And just now, I introduced them..."

  Upon hearing Wei Peng's words, Wei Xinyi's eyes widened in anger and she said: "Are you rebelling? How dare you use me as a bargaining chip?"

  Wei Xinyi said, rolling up her sleeves, ready to teach Wei Peng a lesson on the spot. But Wei Peng hastily said: "Little sister, don't be impulsive, Xiao Fei is still here!"

  Upon hearing Wei Peng's words, Wei Xinyi also immediately glanced at Zhan Fei, then pulled down her sleeves and glared at Wei Peng before saying: "This time I won't settle accounts with you yet. By the way, that envelope you asked me to pass on last time, the person didn't even look at it and directly threw it into the trash can, and also told me they don't like people who are physically strong but mentally weak."

  Upon hearing Wei Xinyi's words, Wei Peng said with a hint of resentment: "Where did I become simple-minded?" Zhan Fei heard this and curiously asked: "Handing over an envelope? To whom?"

  Han Huan said to Zhan Fei, "I'm telling you, Zhan Fei, aren't you a bit out of the loop? The basketball prince has a crush on our school's famous genius girl Li Yuehan, that's common knowledge!"

  After hearing Han Qing's words, Zhan Fei suddenly remembered that there was indeed a very powerful girl in the school. She was from the College of Literature and had been extremely sensitive to words since childhood. In high school, she had already written many prose poems and had published them in some well-known literary magazines such as "Prose" and "Beautiful Writing".

  After entering university, her writing skills became stronger and her articles were published in some mainstream literary magazines of Huaxia. Even abroad, there were translations of her prose poetry circulating. Of course, at the beginning, not many people in Bozhou University of Technology knew her, and she became famous because of Jia Pingqing.
