Chapter 232 Do You Want to Win
Lin Feng noticed that Shen Yao was staying by his side in silence, and his impression of her improved greatly. A kind-hearted and considerate girl is liked by every man, himself included, especially since Shen Yao, as the daughter of a rich man, could act this way—truly, it was not easy. With that thought, he let Shen Yao hold onto his arm and leaned on him as he helped her sit on the spectator bench behind them.
Damn, so that super beautiful girl really is No. 7’s girlfriend!
I wish I had a girlfriend like her.
Why aren’t we talking about No. 7? If I had such a girlfriend, I’d be satisfied even as a ghost.
...
The whole crowd saw that the super beautiful girl who had attracted everyone’s attention actually sat down beside No. 7. They then realized that No. 7 was the boyfriend of the super beautiful girl. His luck with the ladies couldn’t possibly change, could it? Just when he came off the field, two beautiful girls came up to care for him, and then the super beauty wrapped her arm around his. All the beauties were hovering around him alone—how could everyone else even live! His charm was too exaggerated. With a beauty of such a level, a normal person would consider themselves extremely lucky to have even one, yet he had three revolving around him, truly enough to make anyone die of jealousy. If I were him, that would be great. With three such beauties around me, even death would be delightful!
At that moment, the next official game was about to begin. Yingbo University’s student representative team would compete against the student representative team of Post and Telecommunications University for the opportunity to participate in the World University Basketball City Challenge.
Receiving the notification from the staff, the student players of Yingbo University immediately began their warm-ups. At the same time, Coach Wang Hua was arranging the tactics. Seeing that they were so busy, Lin Feng and the others did not disturb them. After all, it was a team led by professional coaches. Moreover, the university team’s players were all sports-specialty students specially recruited, so there was basically no need to worry about the match.
Miao Qingjun, seeing that Yingbo University’s side was still so quiet, instructed the coach to implement the original plan before seating himself back down. He incessantly muttered in his mind, "Look how calmly you are sitting there now. Although that No. 7 disrupted us last game, this game is a student match. He can’t possibly play, so what use is he? Under normal circumstances, no school team from Tianhai can beat my students! I’ll see what your faces look like in a while!"
The basketball game between Yingbo University and Post and Telecommunications University officially started.
Right from the start, the players of Post and Telecommunications University set a very fast pace, catching the students from Yingbo University somewhat off guard. However, the students of Yingbo University initially took advantage of their momentum. Facing the intense pressure of Post and Telecommunications University, they did not falter at all. They withstood the wild offense of the student team from Post and Telecommunications University, making the game extremely tense and even at a standstill, which thrilled everyone’s nerves. Such an intense and competitive student game was very rare.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 23 to 25, with Yingbo University trailing by 2 points.
"Everyone played well, keep it up in the second half!" Ding Wan’er encouraged her university students during the break, hoping for even better performances from them.
"I don’t know what happened to the other side, but they played so fast in the first quarter."
"It’s not normal, everyone, be careful."
"Don’t know what’s going on."
...
The students from Yingbo University were discussing the performance of Post and Telecommunications University, as their behavior was truly abnormal. There was no way such a situation should occur under normal circumstances of playing basketball. The pace of the first quarter was so fast that the students from Yingbo University began to tire very quickly. Everyone wanted to understand one thing: what exactly was the meaning behind Post and Telecommunications University’s tactics? They had never felt such pressure in previous games with them. What was the reason?
The second quarter began.
The physical strength of the students from Yingbo University diminished even more quickly. Gradually, they could no longer withstand the attack from the opponents, shifting to a primarily passive defense strategy. The once deadlocked situation instantly changed, and the match took a turn for the worse. Yingbo University’s team members made frequent mistakes, completely breaking the previously even competition.
At the end of the second quarter, the score was 30 to 50, with Yingbo University trailing by 20 points.
Seeing these results, Ding Wan’er could no longer sit still. What strategy was Post and Telecommunications University using? Why weren’t their players tired? Such a high-intensity close guard policy caused her own team members to be drenched in sweat, while theirs were only a bit more breathless. In the entire second quarter, her side scored only 7 points, while the other continued with 25 points. If they didn’t figure out something, with the start of the third quarter, there would really be big trouble. They couldn’t hold on any longer; if it continued, there was only one outcome—the score gap would continue to widen.
What should they do?
Suddenly, Ding Wan’er’s eyes fell on Lin Feng, who was sitting with Shen Yao. He was so good at basketball, and she had also seen him arranging tactics for the staff in the previous round. There should be no problem in having him coach Yingbo University’s student team. She hoped he could turn the situation around once more.
With that thought in mind, Ding Wan’er walked over to Lin Feng, planning to ask him to take over and coach the student team to turn the game around once again.
"Lin Feng, help the student team out. Can you take over as the temporary coach and direct them?" Ding Wan’er was reluctant to ask Lin Feng for help again, but to win the game, they needed Lin Feng’s intervention. Otherwise, the student competition was sure to be lost. With no other option, she could only plead for Lin Feng to step in.
"Alright." Seeing Ding Wan’er’s anxious appearance, Lin Feng decided to assist the Yingbo University student team as a coach. Ever since he had returned to Tianhai, he’d been working at Yingbo University. He had grown very fond of both the environment and the people here. Unknowingly, he had also come to love his job and had gradually become part of the Yingbo University community. Moreover, the manipulative tactics of Post and Telecommunications University had truly angered him. Besides, he couldn’t bear to see Ding Wan’er disappointed and dejected. Naturally, he couldn’t let Yingbo University lose the match.
"Thank you!" Ding Wan’er’s spirits lifted immediately upon hearing that Lin Feng had agreed. He still cared about her feelings—this was the Lin Feng she knew. If it were any other man with a super-wealthy and beautiful girlfriend, he probably wouldn’t pay any attention to another woman. But Lin Feng wasn’t like that. His agreement to help said it all; he cared about her and his position as a teacher at Yingbo University.
"No need to thank me." Having said that, Lin Feng led Shen Yao to the student team’s rest area.
"Dean Ding has asked me to coach you for the second half of the game. Do you want to win?" Lin Feng stated his purpose directly, to avoid any confusion among the student team’s coaches and players. Only with everyone’s cooperation could they win the upcoming match.
"We want to win!"
"We want to win!"
...
When the student team members of Yingbo University saw Lin Feng coming to be their temporary coach, they all nodded in agreement. His performance in the staff game was unparalleled, and everyone had seen his brilliance. With him as their coach, the game had a chance of turning around. Without him, the game was as good as lost!
"Teacher Lin, do you really have a way for us to win?" The tall and handsome captain, Geng Fei, wearing jersey number 9, couldn’t quite believe Teacher Lin’s words. The game was already halfway through, and they were behind by 20 points. It might not seem like much, but he was well aware of the actual situation—their teammates were almost out of stamina while their opponents were far fresher. If nothing unexpected happened, they’d struggle to score in the second half, and the score gap would only widen. After all, this was a student’s game; even if Teacher Lin was incredibly skilled, he couldn’t personally play in the match. Under such circumstances, what could Teacher Lin possibly do to lead them to victory? It seemed impossible!
"Of course, there’s a way. Now is not the time for talking. From now on, just do as I say, and you can turn the game around. Here are the specifics: number 10, move around this position more; number 13, you stay here..." Lin Feng, holding the coach’s clipboard, began assigning tasks to the university team members. He had been watching the game from the start and had a clear grasp of the opponents’ weaknesses at Post and Telecommunications University. Now, it was simply a matter of targeting those weaknesses—a straightforward task.
"Do you understand?" Lin Feng quickly finished explaining the strategy and made sure the team members understood his instructions.
"We understand!"
"We understand!"
"We understand!"
...
The team members of Yingbo University unanimously expressed their understanding of Lin Feng’s arrangements. Although they didn’t understand why Teacher Lin had made these specific plans, his exceptional performance in the game made them trust that his strategy was correct. They believed that following Teacher Lin’s instructions would lead to success.
"Nothing is impossible. We’re only down by 20 points, right? No matter what tricks they use, victory will belong to us, to Yingbo University, to all of us. If we managed to come back from a 50-point deficit just now, then we can do it again. So, for our goal, let’s give it our all!" Lin Feng motivated the university students. Basketball is all about momentum. To turn things around, they had to boost their morale.
"Let’s go!"
"Let’s go!"
...
Instantly, the spirits in the Yingbo University camp were lifted by Lin Feng’s encouragement. The shouts of support grew louder, exuding their newfound confidence. They were ready to follow Teacher Lin’s plan and turn the game around in the upcoming match.
