Chapter 228: Lin Feng, Slam Dunk!
Upon seeing number 7 dribbling over, Xiao Qiu from Post and Telecommunications University immediately stepped up to him. This number 7 was too good at passing to let him make a smooth pass. After making up his mind, Xiao Qiu began to tightly guard Lin Feng, sticking to him closely in defense.
Lin Feng turned and passed the defending Xiao Qiu in an instant. Another player from Post and Telecommunications University saw the situation deteriorating; they couldn’t allow Lin Feng to break through, so they immediately rushed in to cover the defense. Just at that moment, Lin Feng passed the ball out of his hands.
"Swoosh"
The ball was accurately passed to the hands of an undefended Yingbo University player by the three-point line, and then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, was shot toward the basket!
"Swish!"
The ball went in, three points!
At this, not a single spectator in the entire arena could help but clap for this spectacular play. The pass was just too beautiful, executed with almost magical precision, making it virtually impossible to predict or defend against.
"Another basket, looks like a three-pointer!"
"That number 7’s pass was so cool!"
"It’s him again, that number 7!"
"He’s a professional player for their team; I want to watch more of his games from now on."
...
Everyone was at a loss for words now because number 7 had delivered such an immense shock. He assisted four times in a row, stole the ball three times—what does that even mean! Even watching professional league games on TV, you don’t see such plays. His passes are beyond belief, targeting the open man in an instant, and all his teammates shoot without a defender in sight. His awareness is just too good, and the control he exhibits over the entire game is too strong. The ball seemed to come alive entirely because of him!
"Doot..." Post and Telecommunications University called their second timeout.
"Xiao Qiu, what should we do."
"Xiao Qiu..."
"Xiao Qiu..."
...
The players from Post and Telecommunications University immediately gathered around Xiao Qiu, hoping he had a good strategy. With number 7’s speed being much faster than anything they had encountered before, they were at their wits’ end. Everything they had seen thus far proved one thing: this number 7 was not just good at basketball, but his moves were super fast. None of them could match him, leaving them clueless on how to proceed.
"With a little over 10 minutes left in the game, since there’s no stopping number 7’s steals, we need to waste time. We must use the full 24 seconds for each offense, shooting at the very last second. Remember, the longer we drag it out, the higher our chances of winning! They can’t catch up with a difference of over 50 points!" Xiao Qiu, seeing Lin Feng’s performance, was incredibly frustrated. He had thought it was just another game, but now faced with such a rare talent, he had to seriously consider their strategy and came up with this desperate idea.
"Alright, let’s do that then!"
"Okay!"
"Speed is key when falling back on defense!"
...
Everyone agreed with Xiao Qiu’s plan, interjecting with their opinions. Now was the time to band together against that number 7, whose moves were incredibly fast, too quick for them to even react. He could close great distances in a blink, and the next thing you knew, the ball was in his hands. Against such an opponent, without someone matching his reflexes and speed, there was no way to win!
My God! How is he that fast? It’s like he’s too quick to see clearly. How does he do it? Watching the number 7 from the opposing team, Miao Qingjun didn’t know what to think. Hearing Xiao Qiu’s plan provided him some relief. Wasting time felt a little unsportsmanlike, but if it meant winning the game, it was acceptable. Nobody expected Yingbo University to have such an incredibly skilled player, one better than many professional players. But why hadn’t they let him play from the start...
The timeout was over.
This time, the players from Post and Telecommunications University were all tense, strictly following Xiao Qiu’s instructions, trying their best to drag out every second on the court. The longer they could stretch it, the better their odds of winning the game.
Seeing this, Lin Feng shook his head. There was a 50-point difference in the score. This approach just wouldn’t work; they had to keep passing the ball for him to have a chance.
"Full-court press, I’ll look for opportunities to steal." With this thought, Lin Feng whispered to each of his teammates as he passed by them because only with such cover could he find the right opportunity to strike.
The tension on the court immediately escalated, as man-to-man defense substantially increased the pressure on Post and Telecommunications University. It was clear the opposition was desperate, striving to gain possession of the ball to score. With that in mind, Post and Telecommunications redoubled their efforts to implement a dragging strategy, using their superior skills to outmaneuver their opponents.
But everyone had forgotten Lin Feng, who was earlier marking Xiao Qiu. Suddenly, Lin Feng flashed to the left, covering a distance of more than three meters in an instant.
"Snap!"
The ball was back in Lin Feng’s hands, and then he rapidly advanced past the mid-court looking for an opportunity. Dodging Xiao Qiu’s defense with a feint, he spun towards the basket, only to be immediately surrounded by two players from Post and Telecommunications, determined to prevent him from scoring. But at that moment, the basketball passed through an inconceivable angle and the same player who just made a three-pointer threw another three-pointer.
"Swish!"
The ball went in, another three-pointer.
"That shot was beautiful!"
"Number 7’s pass was simply divine!"
"Two three-pointers in a row!"
...
The entire audience was thrilled by this series of baskets, applauding for Yingbo University, because the goal was just too beautiful. The movements were as smooth as flowing clouds and water, and number 7’s passes were miraculous, always coming from impossible angles to unguarded teammates. This level of play was simply too high. Ever since number 7 came on, Post and Telecommunications’ score hadn’t changed, while Yingbo had already achieved a 12-point run! What’s more exciting was that this momentum seemed destined to continue!
As the entire audience was marveling at Yingbo University’s performance, a woman’s voice overpowered the crowd in the stadium.
"Lin Feng, I know you’re the best, Lin Feng, dunk!"
Everyone saw a stunning beauty in the stands, dressed in all white, holding a microphone, with two men in black suits carrying huge speakers behind her. Around them was a circle of men in black suits—it was obvious that all of these people were the beauty’s bodyguards.
Who is this beauty?
Who is Lin Feng she’s talking about?
Why does she have so many bodyguards?
It’s so exaggerated, even bringing a loudspeaker!
...
Curiosity filled the hearts of all the spectators about the identity of this beauty. Just from looking at the bodyguards, it was evident she was the daughter of a super-wealthy magnate. Without such a status, who travels with a dozen or twenty bodyguards? And who is Lin Feng she mentioned, claiming he’s especially awesome and capable of dunking? Could it be that she was referring to number 7 who just entered the court?
When Shen Yao shouted Lin Feng’s name, Ding Wan’er had already recognized her, staring at Shen Yao with unbelievable astonishment, wondering how she could have turned up in Tianhai, let alone at the stadium to cheer for Lin Feng. What... what was going on?
But how bold she was—to cheer for Lin Feng with a megaphone in front of so many people! Although Wan’er too wanted to cheer for Lin Feng, she simply couldn’t bring herself to do it, restrained by her status as the principal of Yingbo University. She couldn’t act as unfettered as Shen Yao!
Hearing Shen Yao’s cheers for Lin Feng, it was clear she must have come to Tianhai to pursue him. Goodness, she couldn’t believe the daughter of a super-wealthy magnate could be so persistent—she had come to Tianhai from Yuegang just after the New Year. It turned out Shen Yao’s words at the airport had been sincere; she was indeed pursuing Lin Feng with all her might!
However, as Lin Feng’s fiancée, Wan’er was still undecided, wanting to clear the air with Lin Feng, yet worried about this and that, always apprehensive. Comparing herself with Shen Yao, Wan’er’s courage seemed minuscule. If she had been bolder and disclosed her relationship with Lin Feng earlier, they wouldn’t have to deal with these complications. It appeared that she couldn’t drag it out any longer and decided she would have to have a serious talk with her grandfather once home, to see if it was time to come clean with Lin Feng. If she kept delaying, who knows how many other beauties might chase after Lin Feng, leaving her with nothing but regret!
Leng Mei, following the voice, saw Shen Yao in the audience and was immensely shocked because Shen Yao was exhibiting remarkable openness. Female pursuit of a male is already a rarity, and now she had boldly chased to the basketball court to support Lin Feng. The audacity needed for that, especially on a live broadcast in front of tens of thousands, was unparalleled. To declare her feelings using a megaphone, such a beautiful and wealthy woman besotted with Lin Feng, evidenced an outrageous level of infatuation!
Yet her own relationship with Lin Feng still seemed bland—just friendly acquaintances. She was well aware that Lin Feng was outstanding, but felt helpless about the age difference between them. If only she were as young as Shen Yao, even a confession might be possible. But as things stood, she didn’t even dare to confess her feelings...
The people from Post and Telecommunications University were also confused. They all knew their girlfriends and hadn’t heard of any girlfriend being the daughter of a wealthy magnate. So who was this beauty talking about, and who was so fortunate to have such a beauty as a girlfriend? What luck it would be if it were me; I’d quit playing basketball in an instant and tour the world with my girlfriend instead.
But if it wasn’t one us, then who could it be? None from the opposing side caught their eye, except that number 7 looked passable. Could that beauty mean Lin Feng was number 7? Impossible. He isn’t even that handsome. How could he possibly have such a superb beauty as a girlfriend?
Similarly, the people from Yingbo University were dumbfounded. All eyes were on Lin Feng, finding it hard to believe that Lin Feng could have such a formidable girlfriend. Good heavens! A gorgeous beauty on top of being a tycoon’s daughter—that was every man’s dream! How did he manage to woo such an incredible beauty? It’s unimaginable that there was such a talent in Yingbo University, his skill in romancing unbeatable!
