Chapter 229: Shooting an Arrow Through a Willow at a Hundred Paces
Chapter 229: Shooting an Arrow Through a Willow at a Hundred Paces
"Focus on the game!" Lin Feng yelled, which snapped his dazed teammate back to reality. Shaking his head awkwardly, he felt strangely puzzled: how had Shen Yao managed to follow them here, and why was she yelling his name through a megaphone all over the stadium? That was just too exaggerated! But it was game time, and her shouting had drawn everyone’s attention to her. How were they supposed to play when a beauty was cheering like that, distracting everyone?
However, she really had guts, shouting his name in front of so many people – not just any woman could do that. Her bold nature was quite admirable – she dared to love fearlessly and to speak out just as boldly, unlike too many women who played guessing games, which could be really exhausting.
No matter what, he had to finish the game first and then deal with the rest.
With that in mind, Lin Feng faced the players from Post and Telecommunications University once more. Taking advantage of his teammate’s full-court press, he intercepted the ball again and launched a counterattack to the other half of the court.
"Lin Feng, go for it! Lin Feng, dunk!" Seeing Lin Feng get the ball, Shen Yao cheered excitedly once again. His interception just now was so cool – with Lin Feng there, they were bound to win the game!
Seeing Shen Yao in the stands cheering him on again, Lin Feng felt speechless. Even if she was cheering for him, there was no need to be this enthusiastic. Anyway, he had to focus on the game first, and then he broke through the defense and passed the ball amidst two defending players.
"Swish!"
The ball went in!
"Lin Feng, keep it up! Lin Feng, keep it up! Lin Feng, dunk! Lin Feng, dunk!" Although Lin Feng hadn’t scored, the beautiful assist he made to help his teammate score was also impressive, and Shen Yao kept cheering for Lin Feng.
By then, the players from Post and Telecommunications University were completely at a loss for words. They had exhausted all measures and still couldn’t stop number 7 from intercepting. They were unable to prevent their opponent’s scoring either. It was like a deadlock: Lin Feng alone was unstoppable, yet when other players helped in defense, space would open up, which Lin Feng immediately exploited to pass the ball and score, making it impossible to predict. Now they could only passively try to drag out the time, stalling every second they could, and take shots only when absolutely necessary, hoping to endure until the end of the game.
"He..." Miao Qingjun watched as number 7 helped Yingbo University score for the fifth consecutive time, not knowing what to feel anymore. That number 7 was too strong. Even professional players couldn’t stop him, couldn’t defend against him. And where had Ding Wan’er found such a monster to turn the tables? No way he’d believe that number 7 was just a college professor. How could a professor be better than professional players? But now all he could do was watch helplessly as the score gap steadily shrank – he hadn’t anticipated such a drastic change in a game they had under control because of number 7.
to 79.
to 79.
to 79.
to 79.
...
As time ticked by, Yingbo University’s score kept climbing under Lin Feng’s lead, while Post and Telecommunications University, despite giving it their all, hadn’t scored a single point since Lin Feng entered the game. Their score of 79 hadn’t changed at all.
"Number 7..."
"Number 7..."
"Number 7..."
...
All the spectators were shocked by number 7’s unparalleled skills. One man was slowly closing a 57-point gap, and ever since he had stepped onto the court, the opposing team hadn’t scored a point. What kind of skill must that take? It was unbelievable – if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe such an incredible player existed. People wondered why they had never heard of someone so skilled in basketball before. Even though this was just a staff friendly match, his skills definitely ranked among the top professional players overseas. It seemed a waste for such a person to be a teacher!
"Lin Feng, go for it! Lin Feng, go for it!" Shen Yao kept relentlessly cheering for Lin Feng, not noticing her voice becoming hoarse, her heart filled with excitement and joy. Only Lin Feng could make such magical passes – having such a boyfriend was truly awesome, a real face-bringer! Besides, he was the man she wholeheartedly adored; no amount of cheering for him could ever be too much!
Ding Wan’er couldn’t take her eyes off Lin Feng, utterly astonished by his performance level. It was far beyond even the professional players she’d seen on national television. Was there anything Lin Feng couldn’t do? With such a fiance, what was there to hesitate about...?
Leng Mei was also stunned by Lin Feng’s performance. One man had turned an utterly lost game around, revitalizing the entire court. This was nothing like the casual player Girl Ding had described – he was a super basketball expert! It seemed Lin Feng really could do anything!
Miao Qingjun was completely speechless by now, silently praying for the game to end quickly so that his team could at least scrape out a victory...
...
Only one minute left in the game, the score 60 to 79. They were down by 19 points.
Seeing the score, everyone became tense. A 19-point gap with only one minute left, the time was really too short...
Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei held hands tightly. It was a critical moment. They had never imagined the score could be caught up like this, but now there was finally hope to win. Who wouldn’t want to win...
Miao Qingjun was even more nervous. His heart was pounding. A 19-point gap in one minute seemed almost impossible, but with number 7’s appearance, many impossibilities had become possible. Just don’t let them catch up...
"Lin Feng, you can do it, only 19 points left. I believe you can win! If Yingbo University wins the game, I, on behalf of Shen Corporation, will sponsor ten million yuan and independently support Yingbo University’s team to participate in the World University Basketball Challenge!" Shen Yao also saw the game’s score and time, and although she understood that one minute was too short, she had immense confidence in Lin Feng. Lin Feng would definitely win the game, otherwise, he wouldn’t be the Lin Feng I know!
Lin Feng glanced at the scoreboard, helplessly shook his head. It seems he had to take action himself, otherwise, they really would lose the game. That would disappoint both Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, as well as Shen Yao, who came all the way from Yuegang. He didn’t want to see their disappointed faces. In that case, he had to take matters into his own hands.
With that thought, Lin Feng stole the ball from the opponent again, and without waiting for Xiao Qiu to respond with defense after crossing midcourt, he shot a three-pointer!
"Swish!"
The ball went in! A three-pointer!
"Oh my god, it’s like shooting arrows at a hundred paces!"
"That distance is too far!"
"He’s not just good at passing, his shooting is even more accurate!"
"A long-distance three-pointer..."
...
With a buzz, thunderous applause filled the stadium, because everyone saw number 7’s beautiful long-distance three-pointer. The crowd went wild. Such long-distance threes are rarely seen even in professional league games on television once a year, and today they had witnessed a legendary display. Number 7 was truly amazing to make such a shot!
The players from Post and Telecommunications University were completely dumbfounded. They really hadn’t expected the opposing number 7 to shoot so accurately. That was a long-distance three-pointer, which an average person couldn’t make. Even if one of them tried a hundred times, a few successes would be great, but he said he’d make it and he did. He’s not human!
Similarly, faced with Lin Feng’s sudden shot, Xiao Qiu realized that number 7 on the other team wasn’t that he couldn’t shoot, he just didn’t want to. Forced with no other option, he took the shot himself. From the beginning, he had no intention of seriously playing with them. He... he’s too abnormal!
"Lin Feng, you can do it!"
"Keep going, we can definitely win!"
"Everyone, keep pushing!"
...
The people from Yingbo University were fired up by Lin Feng’s three-pointer, because they all saw hope, the hope of winning. Initially, Lin Feng was just passing, and no one expected him to shoot so accurately. That was a long-distance three-pointer, not just any easy close-range shot. Oh my god! How did he train to shoot like that? It’s too much to handle!
"Three... a three-pointer?" Ding Wan’er’s mind couldn’t comprehend. That was a long-distance three, and he made it seem so effortless. No ordinary person could do that, and she had never heard of a three-pointer being made from such a distance before. How did Lin Feng do it...
"Ah..." Leng Mei was also shocked by Lin Feng’s three-pointer. Although she didn’t understand basketball, she had seen others play, and no one shot from such a distance, let alone made it on the first try. She already knew Lin Feng was really good, but she hadn’t expected him to shoot from such a distance. That wasn’t something a normal person could do! Lin Feng’s basketball skills were really too impressive!
"Oh my god..." Miao Qingjun involuntarily convulsed in madness the moment Lin Feng’s ball went through the hoop. How could he make such a long-distance three-pointer? It was utterly unbelievable! Is he even human? Not even professional players do that, making it from such a distance. But no matter, there were 48 seconds left, and a 16-point deficit. It would be impossible for anyone to catch up in 48 seconds; even professional teams couldn’t do it!
"Lin Feng, keep it up, I know you’re the best! Three-pointers! Three-pointers! Three-pointers!" Shen Yao cheered for Lin Feng again, her normally sweet voice now hoarse from cheering for Lin Feng. His performance was too outstanding, she just had to cheer for Lin Feng, to see him win this game. Lin Feng couldn’t possibly fail!
