"Why are you so late?" Yu Rong came over and asked.
"I got lost … I couldn't find the stadium," Hao Ren said.
He looked around and asked, "Yujia didn't come?"
Hearing Hao Ren's question, Zhao Yanzi pinched Hao Ren's arm hard, and Hao Ren frowned in pain.
"She was the one who arranged for us to come to watch the game, but she had something to do and couldn't come." Yu Rong looked at Hao Ren in surprise. "She didn't tell you?"
"She did, but I'm not sure …" Hao Ren said vaguely.
He had thought that Xie Yujia would come with her brother.
On the court, more than a dozen pretty girls were dancing. Zhao Jiayi sat on the side of the court with sweat all over his body, and some of his teammates looked dejected.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing Hao Ren looking at the court, Zhao Yanzi put her hand in front of Hao Ren's eyes.
"This invincible young girl is so nosy. Hao Ren didn't know if he was happy or sad …" Zhou Liren's heart was racing as he watched.
"I'm not looking at the pretty girls. I'm looking at my classmates." Hao Ren grabbed her arm and looked toward Jinghua University.
Compared to East Ocean University, Jinghua University was full of energy. The Captain of the Jinghua University Basketball Team was more than two meters tall, and he was planning the strategy for the second half.
"Go, Jinghua University! Go, Jinghua University! Go, Jinghua University! "
Loud and orderly cheers sounded from the stands across from them.
More than 5,000 alumni of Jinghua University came to cheer for the stadium that could hold more than 10,000 people, and they took up almost half of the seats.
Most of them were wearing school uniforms, and they looked neat and impressive. All kinds of banners were fluttering, encouraging the Jinghua University Basketball Team.
Compared to them, East Ocean University only had a few hundred alumni who came to Beijing to watch the game, and they were all scattered around.
"How can this be?" Zhao Yanzi was a little worried.
Because of Hao Ren, she had some feelings for East Ocean University, especially since East Ocean University represented East Ocean City. Zhao Jiayi seemed to be Hao Ren's best friend, and she didn't want East Ocean University to lose after going through so much trouble to get to the finals.
After a moment of consideration, she took out her cell phone and made a call.
"What are you doing?" Hao Ren turned around and asked Zhao Yanzi while paying attention to the situation on both sides.
"Nothing!" Zhao Yanzi pouted.
The special music sounded, signaling the start of the second half of the match. The College Basketball League used the common four-minute time rule, and Hao Ren was half an hour late and missed two quarters of the game.
Zhao Jiayi was exhausted, but he shook his head and continued to enter the arena. Facing Jinghua University students with an average height of more than two meters, no matter how good his jumping ability was or how good his stamina was, it was still not enough.
Sure enough, Jinghua University, who had a 10-point lead, was playing calmly, but East Ocean University was panicking.
In the past, Hao Ren didn't understand the so-called pattern. However, after he cultivated sword array formations and learned architectural design from Zhao Hongyu, he had gradually learned how to see the big picture through the battles of the soldiers.
The five people of East Ocean University ran on their own, messing up their own battle lines. On the other hand, Jinghua University was advancing steadily, and each of their positions had their own variations.
Hao Ren looked closely and found that the new captain of Jinghua University was emitting a faint blue light, indicating that he was a Kan-level cultivator.
Among the dragon cultivators who could easily reach Zhen-level, Kan-level was the weakest. However, compared to mortals, the Kan-level cultivators who were beyond the peak of the Martial Dao were still very powerful.
Hua, hua, hua, hua, hua …
It was at this moment that a large number of spectators suddenly rushed into the stadium from the tunnel of the auditorium.
They were all wearing white training suits, and each of them was more than 1.8 meters tall. Most of the spectator stands in the two large circles near the stadium were already full, but the large circle of spectator stands at the top was still empty.
This large group of people immediately occupied the seats at the top and looked down at the cheering group of Jinghua University.
The referee on the basketball court panicked when he saw the white crowd suddenly rushing in, and he almost forgot to look at the situation on the court.
"East Ocean University! Go! East Ocean University! Go! "
The loud cheers suddenly covered the cheers of Jinghua University, and the students of Jinghua University were so scared that they didn't dare to shout anymore.
"Where are they from?" Hao Ren asked Zhao Yanzi.
"Uncle Sun's martial arts dojos have branches all over the country. The Beijing branch is also a big one, and it's not far from here," Zhao Yanzi said with a smile.
Hao Ren looked back at the audience and did a rough calculation. There were 6,000 warriors!
Zhao Yanzi called the person in charge of Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo in Beijing, and she immediately sent over 6,000 cheers!
On the court, Zhao Jiayi, who hadn't made a shot, suddenly heard the loud cheers. He looked up and saw a huge banner unfolded on the top of the basketball court: "Hao Ren said, Good Brother, Go!"
Zhao Jiayi suddenly smiled brightly.
"Damn, you brat, you are finally here … And you even made such a big scene!"
He looked back at his teammates and said, "Brothers! The era of East Ocean University is here! "
"Great!" Seeing the white crowd of cheers, the basketball players of East Ocean University became excited.
They were not fighting alone!
Hao Ren looked back at the banner and couldn't help but smile. The banner was written on a piece of red cloth and black ink, but the words were bold and powerful; it was no less than a specially made banner!
The words on the banner were indeed what Hao Ren wanted to say to Zhao Jiayi!
He turned to look at Zhao Yanzi and admired her quick-wittedness. Zhao Yanzi, on the other hand, smiled sweetly and made a V-sign with two fingers.
"Good girl …" Hao Ren whispered to her in his mind.
However, if he said it out loud, she would definitely hit him.
On the court, the East Ocean University Basketball Team's ambition was restored. Zhao Jiayi dribbled the ball nimbly, turned around, and passed the ball behind his back. The ball bounced up smoothly, and No. 6 who had already rushed to the basket grabbed the ball and threw it into the basket smoothly, gaining two points.
"Great …"
More than 6,000 members of Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo cheered in unison.
This scene made Jinghua University, who was playing in their home court, tremble. Although Zhao Jiayi wanted to hear the crazy cheers from the girls, this kind of majestic cheering had the advantage of momentum.
"Go, go, go …"
Zhao Jiayi ran on the basketball court as he commanded the team. He had lost his fighting spirit, but Hao Ren's appearance reminded him of the time when they played against Jinghua University in the stadium of East Ocean University. The grudge between the two universities forced him to not give up.
Although the Captain of Jinghua University was on Kan-level, he didn't have the upper hand against Zhao Jiayi who had absorbed some of Hao Ren's remaining nature essence.
Xie Wanjun's strength had reached the peak of the Martial Dao after more than ten years of fighting on the basketball court, which was equivalent to the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll. Zhao Jiayi slept on Hao Ren's lower berth, and some of the nature essence that Hao Ren used to cultivate entered Zhao Jiayi's body, which helped Zhao Jiayi reach the second level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll.
Basketball wasn't just a competition of physical strength. Zhao Jiayi's reaction, speed, and control of his teammates were all better than the new captain of Jinghua University.
Swoosh … Swoosh … Swoosh …
The East Ocean University Basketball Team had recovered six points in a row.
However, they were still behind by two points!
The third quarter was over!
Zhao Jiayi's basketball uniform was soaked, and even the inside of his sneakers were wet. However, as the core of the team, he had to play the entire game!
"Damn! It's the finals. Don't lose!" Cao Ronghua who was sitting beside Zhou Liren said nervously.
"Damn! You jinxed it! "Huang Jianfeng glared at Cao Ronghua.
He usually liked watching movies and wasn't interested in basketball. However, he paid out of his own pocket to support Zhao Jiayi this time. He took the train to Beijing with Zhou Liren and the others to support Zhao Jiayi.
Zhao Yanzi didn't understand the relationship between guys, but she knew that this basketball game was very important since Hao Ren was so focused on it. Deep down, she hoped that they could win.
Zhao Jiayi returned to the court and was about to wipe his sweat with a towel. Suddenly, his cell phone on the bench vibrated.
Zhao Jiayi saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. He hesitated for half a second before answering.
"I'm Xie Wanjun," a calm voice came from the other side of the phone.
Zhao Jiayi suddenly straightened his back. He still remembered Xie Wanjun's terrifying special training, and he tensed up when he heard Xie Wanjun's voice.
"You only have two minutes. Put your phone on speakerphone and call everyone over," Xie Wanjun said in a commanding tone on the phone.
Zhao Jiayi immediately asked his teammates to gather over. The break between the third and fourth quarter was indeed only two minutes.
"I'm in the U.S. I wanted to come in person, but I couldn't find the time. That's why I watched the livestream on the Internet. Now, you only have two minutes. Listen carefully," Xie Wanjun's voice came from Zhao Jiayi's cell phone.
"I watched the first three quarters. Jinghua University has a new captain, and we can't use the same tactics we used to play against Jinghua University anymore. In the past, Jinghua University preferred long passes and quick attacks to maximize their advantage in rebounds. But now, although Jinghua University still has an obvious height advantage, they prefer short passes and quick attacks, and their tactics revolve around their captain. So, you guys must play like this in the fourth quarter … "
Most of the players on the East Ocean University Basketball Team were Xie Wanjun's old subordinates. Now that they heard Xie Wanjun's voice, they felt closer and more touched.
Although Xie Wanjun was in the U.S., he still paid attention to them. Especially for the fourth-year players, they would graduate after this year's game. This was their last glory, so they were more eager to win.
"Our goal is …" Finally, Xie Wanjun asked over the phone.
"National Champion!"
The dozen or so players around the cell phone cheered together.
The special music sounded again, and the fourth quarter began.
The basketball players of East Ocean University returned to the court, and their expressions and postures were completely different.
"We are going to win," Zhao Yanzi leaned against his shoulder and said with a smile.
"You made a contribution," Hao Ren looked at her and said with a smile.
"If we win, I'll let you kiss me," Zhao Yanzi shrugged and said.
