At the start of the game, I was the one who jumped the ball. Number 7 happened to be the one who jumped the ball. That Number 7 should be over 1.9 meters tall, so he was a bit taller than me. In everyone's eyes, there shouldn't be any suspense in the jump ball between us. However, my teammates didn't think so. Although I was the shortest on the team, there weren't many people who could dunk, but I was one of them. There weren't many people on the team who could compare to me when it came to rebounds. It was a bit of a bully for a cultivator to compete with them in jumping. They just thought that I jumped better than the average person.
As soon as the referee threw the ball up, I immediately stomped on the ground, and my body immediately rushed up. When the ball reached the top and fell, I was at the highest point, and directly hit the ball. Although Number 7 jumped at the same time as me, his reaction was half a beat slower, and he jumped a bit lower than me. Seeing that I was about to hit the ball, Number 7 actually used his elbow to squeeze me, and a strong push almost pushed me to the side. However, before Number 7 used his body to hit me, I seemed to have jumped up in the air, and quickly hit the ball towards Black Bull. Then I used Number 7's inertia to pull away from Number 7, and quickly rushed forward at the same time.
After Black Bull got the ball, he directly passed it in the direction I was going.
I took advantage of the moment Number 7 was stunned, and had already caught the ball, and without any pause, the ball was directly shot out. Three points! The entire stadium immediately boiled up, this was our home court!
On the substitutes' bench, the substitutes and Teacher Zhao immediately high-fived each other.
"Huang Jingyang, good job!" Li Wan suddenly jumped up and shouted at me. This girl was made to be a soprano.
I high-fived Black Bull to celebrate, and glanced at the other team's bench. I was paying attention to the female cultivator on the bench for Number 25 High, and I noticed that she was frowning. I was sure that she shouldn't be able to discover that I was the same as her, because her aura was much weaker than mine. With her cultivation level, she shouldn't be able to see through me.
As soon as they came on the field, we unexpectedly launched a quick attack, which left No. 25 High a little dumbfounded. However, they weren't weak and weren't disturbed by us. After conceding the goal, his mood did not become very low. On the contrary, his fighting spirit was even higher.
We used a full-court press tactic, and this was a surprise to the top 25. The full-court press tactic was a double-edged sword that required stamina. However, the strength of the substitutes in our team improved very quickly. There were several people who could take up a position, and the difference in strength was not very obvious. In this way, the full court pressing strategy could be implemented very well.
All of a sudden, No. 25 High School became very passive and had no choice but to pass the ball to their core player, No. 7. I'm in charge of Number 7. No. 7 originally wanted to use the advantage of his body to completely suppress me, but he didn't expect to hit the wall. Every time he wanted to use his body to push me away, he found that an even greater force bounced back from me, and he almost stumbled several times. If it wasn't for the fact that his technique was really good and he protected the ball well, and I didn't want to stand out too much, so I didn't use too inhuman moves. Otherwise, the basketball in his hands would have been in my hands. But I kept him out of the three-point line.
Originally, No. 7 could have used his height to shoot over my head, but it was too far away from the basket. He might not have had absolute confidence, plus my interference affected his shot, so he was a little hesitant with the ball. Seeing his teammate waving, No. 7 passed the ball out. Then he suddenly ran towards the inside line. When I was about to follow, he pushed me, then suddenly let go and used a pick-and-roll to break through the defense. But my reaction speed exceeded his expectations, and I actually intercepted the basketball that his teammate passed over halfway. After I took the basketball, I immediately ran towards the front court. Their guard suddenly chased after me and was about to use foul tactics, but when his hand grabbed my jersey, I directly threw the basketball out. It was a long distance three-pointer.
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded. A lot of people thought that I was just trying to trick a three-point free throw this time. Unexpectedly, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and neatly drilled into the basket.
The referee immediately made a three-point gesture and indicated that it was an additional penalty. A free throw at such a close distance was naturally easy. 3+1！ The score suddenly became 7: 0.
At the beginning, the players of No. 25 High School looked down on us, but at this time, they suddenly realized that the opponent was actually so difficult to deal with.
The momentum of this goal completely ignited the atmosphere of the court. The audience in the stands let out hysterical cheers, especially Li Wan, who was about to jump down from the stands.
On the other side's bench, the female cultivator also began to frown. She clearly didn't expect this result. The coach of No. 25 High School quickly called for a timeout. Seeing that the situation wasn't right, he wanted to adjust his tactics in time.
After I saw No. 7 come off the court, I directly went to the girl. I released my Divine Sense and wanted to know what they were talking about.
"What's going on? Why are you being restricted by No. 16? "The female cultivator asked.
"I don't know what's going on. He's very strong. Every time I want to knock him away, I'm always blocked by him. Also, he's very fast. I can't shake him off. His jump is also very good. Other than his short stature, there are almost no flaws on him. At first, I was wondering why the other side sent a point guard to guard me. It turns out that he's the best on their team. "No. 7 seemed to listen to the female cultivator's words.
"It's fine. You're taller than him. Just shoot over his head and trick him a few times with feints. He won't be able to do anything to you." The female cultivator said.
"Okay, I'll try." No. 7 nodded. He took a sip of water and handed the bottle back to the female cultivator.
The game continued. No. 7 tried to shoot over my head when he was on the offense. His feints did cause trouble for me because I was too short. When he shot, I had to jump up to block it. However, it was difficult for me to completely guard against him. He shook me with a feint and then shot a three pointer. He narrowed the gap between us.
He also couldn't do anything to me. After the ball was in my hands, I just needed to get rid of him and shoot when I got the chance. It was another three pointer.
"Help defense, help defense! No. 16 is hot, we have to restrict his shots from outside! "No. 25 High School's coach quickly shouted from the sidelines.
No. 7 once again used the same method to shoot directly above my head. Although I interfered a little, he still managed to score a three pointer. In contrast, our team's attitude towards the other side's continuous scoring was much better. Miss Zhao still didn't tell everyone to change tactics, nor did she change a person to deal with No. 7. Because Miss Zhao knew that if she changed someone to deal with No. 7, it would only send No. 7 to the free throw line. Because if even I couldn't guard against him, then no one else on the team could. The most important thing for us was to not have any problems on the offense.
When we attacked, the other side really did send another player to help defense. However, I used their help defense to trick the other side's defensive player into fouling. Then I shot the ball the moment the other side fouled. It was a 3 + 1 again. Instead, it increased the score.
Both sides attacked like this. Although No. 7 was very good, he couldn't maintain a 100% accuracy like me. At the end of the half, the other side was already behind by more than 20 points. There was almost no suspense about the outcome of the two sides. However, I knew that with the female cultivator on the sidelines, there were still variables.
"Huang Jingyang, do you want to come down and rest for a bit?" Miss Zhao probably felt that a gap of more than 20 points should be more secure. So she wanted the other players to go up and train.
I didn't have any objections, "Then I'll come down and rest for a bit. No. 7 from No. 25 High School is very good. Black Bull and Ink, go guard him. "
I was just making a suggestion. Teacher Zhao nodded. "Alright, then Black Bull and Ink will be in charge of defending No.7. No. 7 used up a lot of energy in the first half, so his performance in the second half should be limited. "
Will it? I don't think so. With a cultivator helping him recover on the sidelines, how much energy can he consume in a high school league game like this? The cultivator only needs to inject a bit of energy into his body for him to completely recover. Our team was always rotating, and most of the time, the ball was in my hands. They didn't use up a lot of energy. They had no problem playing the second half. So, I didn't do anything to my teammates.
The second half was as I expected. After the halftime break, No. 7 was in full condition. Without me on the field, his defense and offense were extremely fierce, and he quickly closed the gap in the score. When the score was about to close to single digits, Miss Zhao quickly paused the game.
"Huang Jingyang, go up. This No. 7 is really too good. Before, when you were on the field, he was restricted by you. Now I know that he's actually so strong. "Miss Zhao was also shocked by the opponent's No. 7.
I naturally knew that the reason why No. 7 was so fierce was because of the female cultivator sitting on the sidelines. I even knew that the reason why No. 7 was so fierce might be because the female cultivator used energy to refine his body. Otherwise, his body wouldn't be so much stronger than a normal person.
As soon as I returned to the field, the rhythm immediately returned to the first half, and our score gradually began to pull apart.
The female cultivator frowned. As soon as No. 7 made a mistake, after I grabbed the rebound, I immediately ran forward. Suddenly, I felt as if my feet were tripped by something. My body staggered, and I almost lost control of the basketball in my hand. I threw the basketball in a bit of a mess, and then jumped a few steps forward to balance my body.
"Sou!"
In this situation, the basketball was still shot into the basket by me.
However, the entire court let out a cry of surprise. Everyone knew that I was the core of the Yan University Affiliated High School. If I was injured, there was a risk that No. 25 High School would turn the tables.
Li Wan looked at me with a face full of worry. She was so anxious that she wanted to rush into the court to check on my injury.
Miss Zhao also shouted, "Huang Jingyang, are you okay?"
I waved my hand, "I'm fine. I accidentally tripped just now. "
Seeing that I was fine, everyone's hanging heart finally relaxed.
However, I knew that the reason I almost fell wasn't because I tripped, but because I was tricked. That female cultivator actually used such a despicable method in an attempt to help their team win the game.
I pretended to casually glance at the female cultivator, and she actually lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
I knew that from this moment on, the person I was most wary of was not No. 7, but this female cultivator.
It wasn't difficult to guard against this girl, but it wasn't easy to make this girl guard against her.
When No. 25 High School attacked, I strengthened my defense and tried not to let No. 7 get the ball. As for the rest of their team, I let them attack at will. Under our full court press, the rest of No. 25 High School had a hard time playing at their normal level. The feeling of shooting also got worse and worse.
And that female cultivator, every time I made a move, she would always do something. Later, she would make the basketball miss a bit. Either that, or they would use some sort of spell to slow me down. This female cultivator was really willful, she actually used magic in a school basketball game.
I didn't expose my identity, but continued to act like a normal student. After the "mistake", I tried to grab the rebound, and then directly dunked the basketball into the basket. This time, the female cultivator couldn't do anything even if she wanted to. Moreover, her magic ability was limited, and she wouldn't succeed every time. Plus, every time she used magic, it would consume a lot of energy. She couldn't use this trick every time.
In the end, we still won the game with a double-digit difference. But what I didn't expect was that after the game, the female cultivator actually walked in front of me.
"You, not bad. Huang Jingyang, I'll remember you. "The female cultivator stared at me, as if she wanted to see through me.
"Remember what?" I pretended to be puzzled and asked.
"Hmph, you know." The female cultivator rolled her eyes, then turned and left.
Did she discover my true identity? She shouldn't have been able to discover me. And every time she used a trick, I always cleverly resolved it. For example, I would use # 7, who was always close to me, as a shield, or after she used a magic to interfere with the ball, I would quickly grab the rebound, and then directly dunk the basketball into the basket. It seemed like it was all my basketball skills, and not my ability as a cultivator.
"Aiya." I knew where my problem was. I shouldn't be able to dodge her tricks every time. It was because it was too coincidental, and it made her suspicious.
I smiled bitterly, I was too smart for my own good. But it didn't matter. So what if she knows I'm a cultivator?
"Huang Jingyang, what did the girl from No. 25 Middle School say to you just now?" Li Wan had come over with a bottle of drink.
"She said my skills were good, and that I beat their school until they couldn't raise their heads." I smiled.
"Liar. She wouldn't say that, she was definitely moved by your skills. She wants to be friends with you. "Li Wan's words seemed to be a bit sour.
