With a combination of clothes a little strange to play basketball, Xie Feng, still wearing long jeans, walked to the court with his four classmates.
However, maybe it was because of what happened before or maybe it was because he didn't look bad at all, nobody said anything about it.
Considering that this was just a friendly game, and more than anything a farce, not even the referee said anything about it.
______________
The point guard's face in team 1 looked extremely ugly as if he had carefully chewed and tasted a fly before swallowing it.
"And who the hell is that guy who just came inside...? Now we won't be able to appease that bastard's anger", he couldn't help but mutter.
"Fortunately for you, I'm the only one who heard you say that. If the team captain hears what you just said, you're dead". Duan Li's voice makes the point guard's face turn pale and he unconsciously looks towards the team bench.
When he saw that the team captain didn't seem to hear him, he sighed with relief.
Duan Li looked at the other team, "That guy... Although he changed a lot, now that I look at him carefully, he's the guy who was the boyfriend of the #1 belle of the campus, Mu Wuying".
"Hey, Lim-". Duan Li was about to say something but when he looked at his side and saw the face of his team's point guard, he was surprised, and his words died in his throat.
"Hehe... Duan Li, isn't Mu Wuying the woman that Team Captain Nangong wanted for him? And I was worried about being forced to endure his constant shouts and curses later, but now we can make that pretty face look bad in front of everyone and maybe give him a lesson here. Who knows, if you do good you might even be rewarded".
When Duan Li heard this, his eyes couldn't help but shine brightly: 'If I do a good job here, even if I get kicked out of the university it will be worth it... As long as the second young master of the Nangong family appreciates me, my future is assured', he thought.
______________
Xie Feng naturally listened to the conversation between the point guard and the shooting guard of team 1.
He approached next to Zhu Zhihao and whispered something to him in a low voice.
Zhu Zhihao hesitated for a few seconds but finally nodded.
Referee: "Jumpers, center!"
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Zhihao approached the sidelines, and the person who went to the center was Xie Feng!
The referee was stunned to see the abrupt change of positions. This was undoubtedly the rarest basketball game in history... Little did he know that the surprises had only just started.
Seeing that both were ready, the referee threw the ball in the air for both players to compete for it.
The enemy pivot was a few inches shorter than Xie Feng, so when the referee threw the ball up and both jumped, the first to make contact with the ball was Xie Feng himself.
Xie Feng caught the ball and as he continued to ascend, his eyes flashed with a bit of ridicule and fun. Even the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Just before his body was dragged down due to gravity, Xie Feng grabbed the ball with both hands and made a shot posture.
Then, without even hesitating, he shot.
*Swoosh!*
The ball went up very high and traced a beautiful curve over the sky, catching everyone's stunned eyes.
Xie Feng's feet returned to the ground and, without even caring to look if the ball went in or not, he walked slowly under his hoop as a defender.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
The sound of the ball bouncing and the echo of that same sound was the only thing that could be heard throughout the stadium.
When Xie Feng came back under the canasta, he saw that his teammates, the enemy team, the students and professors... Everyone had their mouths wide open and their eyes wide open looking at the ball that finally stopped bouncing.
Not a single sound could be heard.
*Beep!!!*
Finally, the incredibly loud referee's beep pulled everyone from their thoughts, and the chaos began.
"S-Shit!!"
"That guy didn't even care and just shot!"
"Damn, that's half-field distance but he did it like it was nothing!"
"What's his name?"
"Does anyone know who he is?"
"I do! He's Xie Yao's boyfriend and Mu Wuying's ex-boyfriend!"
"Damn it, he was the boyfriend of belle number 1 and now he's the boyfriend of belle number 2? What the hell!?"
...
At the same time that the marker increased another 3 points for team 1, all sorts of arguments and shouting made Xie Feng almost cover his ears unconsciously.
"Shit! What the fuck? Xie Feng, I didn't know you could do a crazy thing like that!". Hu Chen finally reacted and hit Xie Feng in the back with a loud bang as he laughed out loud.
"Guys, just give the ball to me when you get it. Let's let these guys know that the business class cannot be easily scoffed at". Seeing the entire team gather, Xie Feng said with a smile on his face.
""""All right!""""
Four answers, exactly the same, arrived at the same time.
***
Xie Feng is not a person who likes to attract too much attention, however, that does not mean he is afraid to be the focus of attention.
When a person bothers him or makes him mad, he always makes sure that person knows how to write the word 'regret' with their eyes closed.
Qian Luoyang caught the ball. His gaze immediately sought out Xie Feng and, without delay, he passed the ball.
Xie Feng dribbled the ball and like a whirlwind charged to the enemy basket. Even after passing the halfway mark, he did not stop.
Team 1's pivot blocked his path, however, Xie Feng dribbled the ball between his legs at a scary speed even as he was running. The pivot's eyes moved back and forth, but because he was so focused on the ball, he lost sight of Xie Feng.
When he reacted again, Xie Feng was already more than two meters away.
After beating another two at terrifying speed, causing everyone's eyes to open once again, the enemy point guard blocked Xie Feng's path.
For the first time since he began his career, Xie Feng stopped his movements momentarily, "Do you know why I didn't shot from half-court again?".
Team 1's point guard scoffed, "Because you can't make shots like that often".
That would be the normal response, after all, the players' arms would be devastated after they had shot the ball with all their strength from a distance of almost 20 meters.
Xie Feng shook his head and with a mysterious smile said, "The reason I didn't shoot from the middle of the court again is that I wanted to show you and the other guy some fun things I learned as a kid".
Xie Feng's face didn't change, but his posture did.
One of his arms seemed to be hanging down as if it were broken, his body leaned forward and his legs seemed to have lost strength.
When he saw this, the eyes of the point guard of team 1 opened incredulously and he thought: 'This guy is crazy? He wants to play street basketball with a referee and so many people watching!'.
Street basketball is usually played by many people. But most of the people who play it, at least 90% of them are poor and low-income people.
When Xie Feng was still young, even before he met Xie Yao, he often played basketball with a girl from the orphanage. Because his memory and body were always above average, when he was 11 years old he could even beat some adults.
The problem was that street basketball is usually a very aggressive style of game.
'I just have to avoid being seen by the referee, if the rest of them see me, it doesn't really matter'. Xie Feng smiled like a demon and finally made his move.
Seeing Xie Feng's signal, Hu Chen, who was right next to the referee, suddenly ran and for a second, blocked his view.
Xie Feng took advantage of that brief second and, with a quick movement, hit with a moderate but powerful force near the crotch of the point guard.
Without waiting for his reaction, Xie Feng advanced and without any problems scored two more points for his team.
Just after 1 second, the point guard's face turned white as a sheet, his mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.
*Plaff!*
He collapsed on the floor but did not pass out.
*Beep!*
The referee whistle and when he saw the player's pale face, even before he approached, he waved to the medical team to enter the court.
"Hey!"
"That's unfair!"
"What the hell man!?"
Many people in the stands started protesting. However, they were all men...
The referee went up to Xie Feng and hesitated. Seeing the pained face of the team 1 point guard, the referee was sure that Xie Feng had done something.
The problem is that he didn't get to see it!
Basketball is not a sport like soccer where repetitions are constantly shown. Although there are security cameras in the gym, if he makes a mistake in his judgment and Xie Feng files a complaint with the student council, his career as a professor will be destroyed.
Several minutes passed, and when the point guard of team 1 finally had the strength to speak, he pointed to Xie Feng and started to shout: "Bastard! Why the hell did you do that!?"
Xie Feng looked at him in confusion and talked in an innocent voice: "Hey man, what the hell are you saying? I'm sure the medical team has already inspected you".
Xie Feng looked at one of the doctors and asked: "Excuse me, did you find any marks on his body? I mean, with how much pain this player was APPEARING to be, he should have at least one change in his skin color".
The doctor's mouth contracted several times, "Actually... there was no mark on his body...". The doctor looked at the referee and said, "Apparently, this player here is faking, after all, if he gets hit in such a dangerous area, at least his skin should turn red immediately".
Xie Feng looked at the referee and with an angry and hurtful tone of voice, said, "Mr. Referee, this person here clearly wanted you to kick me out of the game. Shouldn't he be penalized?".
Seeing Xie Feng's face full of just indignation, the referee was furious. But not furious with Xie Feng, but with the team 1 point guard!
Because of this guy, he almost stained his image!
"Number 1, white color! Two free shots, Number #3 black!".
""""W-WHAT!""""
Except for the point guard who had fainted, the whole team 1 shouted out loud, unable to believe what they had just heard.
Xie Feng ignored all this and went to get the ball.
When he arrived next to Duan Li, he stopped for a split second and whispered:
"¡You're next!".
