Xu LiJun didn't want to be left out when he saw me and You Chen's high and low coordination. When he was in a good position, he would ask me for the ball. Anyway, he already passed the ball to me once at the end of the first half because he didn't see clearly. It's not like he didn't want to give anything, he only wanted something.
I knew that Xu LiJun's shooting percentage was higher than You Chen's. Passing the ball to him would increase the gap between us, but I still generously created three opportunities for him to shoot. Xu LiJun's face bloomed with joy when he scored two out of three.
Other than Niu ShiLi, the other team members didn't have that much of a conflict with me. Other than the fact that they weren't convinced that I was the PE committee member, they at most felt that I kept people at arm's length and didn't even look them in the eye.
I wasn't showing off! That was the image of a lone wolf that I purposely created! The reason I didn't look them in the eye was to highlight my strength and prevent people like the Little Tyrant from bullying me like I'm a weakling!
There's a saying: the fastest way to become friends is to find a common enemy.
Now that we are playing on the basketball court with class 6, wearing the same color uniforms, and enduring the harassment of class 6 cheerleaders, it's hard to not feel like we have a common enemy.
A man's dream can't be separated from the words "make a career". Even though there weren't many people in class 2-3 who came to cheer for him, there were always a few. Besides, with Loud Mouth and Little Smart, two gossipy people, if he performed well on the basketball court, he wouldn't have to worry about people spreading his name.
Even if my heroic performance was seen by the enemy cheerleaders and they let out a depressed whimper, wouldn't it be a sense of accomplishment?
Especially since Xu LiJun and You Chen were both members of last year's team. They lost to Shen ShaoYi's class 2 and were labeled as the "bottom team", so their desire for victory wasn't any less than mine.
As a result, the two of them were easily bribed by me using my 'false reputation'. I gave them a chance to gain merits, and they reciprocated. In a short period of time, the three of us were having a great time attacking each other.
Even though Xu LiJun and You Chen's scores would still be on Niu ShiLi's side, Niu ShiLi wasn't happy about it. I reckoned that Niu ShiLi had originally planned on competing with me in terms of individual scores.
I didn't become greedy just because I received a few passes from my teammates. I didn't want to get all the points by myself (in reality, that was impossible). Instead, I set the team's goal and calmly controlled the pace of the game.
Of course, I wasn't completely selfless. For example, I rarely passed the ball to Pi ZeGuang (because he had a pretty good shooting rate after receiving the ball), and I never passed the ball to Niu ShiLi (I suspect he wouldn't receive the ball even if I passed it to him).
Niu ShiLi lost his patience when he saw that I was gradually dominating the game. He started to grab rebounds even more fiercely. His leaps and landings were exaggerated and I couldn't avoid them in time. I was worried that I would be injured by him by accident.
Ever since I started learning Yin Yang Sanshou with gramps Ren, I gained a new understanding of basketball.
In the past, I used my physical advantage to attack and defend, and I used my stamina to wear down my opponents.
But when it comes to physical fitness, there will always be someone stronger than you. For example, I almost couldn't get an advantage in front of Captain Guo SongTao of the basketball team.
Niu ShiLi, who was naturally talented and inherited muscles from his family, played like me in the past. He was fierce, but he wasn't smart enough.
You can use Hua Jin to reduce the damage to your knees every time you land on the ground. You can even use Hua Jin to regain your balance when you collide with each other. That way, you can reduce the wear and tear on your body and save stamina to the greatest extent.
I seemed to have turned on an 'energy saving mode'. When I don't have the ball, I only use 30% of my energy, but when I get an opportunity, I can immediately use 130% of my energy to score quickly.
As expected, I was able to comprehend new basketball tactics through practicing martial arts. I also gained a new understanding of fighting through the use of Yin Yang Sanshou in a basketball match.
While I was using both strength and gentleness, Niu ShiLi charged into the paint and used his superior physical fitness to smash into class 6's defenders. His actions were between a foul and not a foul. After the referee, Li DaYong, called for a foul and handed the ball over to class 6, he never called for Niu ShiLi's barbaric breakthrough again.
The captain of class 6 couldn't hold it in anymore as Niu ShiLi wreaked havoc under his own basket. He ignored his injured knees and tried to snatch rebounds from Niu ShiLi. As a result, he collided with Niu ShiLi in midair. When he landed, his knees were squashed and he couldn't get up after letting out a scream.
Niu ShiLi, the idiot on the court, actually stood up and looked suspiciously at the captain of class 6 and said:
"I'm completely fine, are you faking it?"
Who can compare to you! You're a mini Ultraman, a muscular King Kong. You don't care if you fall or get hit, but the captain of class 6 is injured. He's probably in great pain after being squashed by you!
As expected, Niu ShiLi's unreasonable words poked a hornet's nest.
The members of class 6 all came up to him and said he purposely injured the captain. Even the substitutes came up to join in the fun.
Fuck, don't come up! This is the rhythm of a group brawl! It's easy for puberty to turn into a brawl in a group sport! It doesn't matter if we win or lose, but as the PE committee member and captain, I can't let it turn into a group brawl! The class leader would go crazy with anger!
Thus I took the initiative to apologize to the captain of class 6. After obtaining his consent, I helped him up and carefully helped him to a folding chair at the side of the court.
Xiao Qin secretly gave me a thumbs up when the captain of class 6 left the field. She even tilted her head cutely and squinted one eye.
Why do you have an expression like you succeeded in your scheme! It's like the captain of class 6 was tricked by me and that's why he left the field in resentment! I clearly didn't do anything, it's God's will, it's God's will!
Seeing the two captains reconcile, the team members had nothing else to say. Thus, after Niu ShiLi's second foul, class 6 sent up a substitute and the game continued.
Speaking of which, the average level of class 6 is really admirable! The level of the substitutes is also on the same level as the starters! How did you guys train so evenly? Who's a substitute and who's a starter is decided by rock-paper-scissors!
Even the cheerleaders of class 6, who had average chest sizes, were desperately cheering for their lagging team in the last 5 minutes of the second half. Even I was moved by their fervent gazes.
The members of class 6 were encouraged, and because of their captain's injury, they had the misconception that an army with indignation will win. Whether it's offense or defense, they became abnormally tenacious.
I carefully controlled the pace to avoid getting caught up in points, but I also tried my best not to get into physical contact with them.
In the end, they weren't street thugs, they were basketball players who thirsted for victory like me. 'Berserker mode' wasn't prepared for them.
Niu ShiLi, on the other hand, believed that if the opponent's momentum increased, then we should counterattack with an even stronger momentum.
I used to think that momentum was the most important in any aspect, including fighting. That was until the dark Xiao Qin gave me a vivid lesson at the construction site.
Xiao Qin, who had almost sealed off her vision and was at a disadvantage in terms of her senses, used her speed to beat the enemy and successfully brought me into her rhythm. As a result, I was barely able to fight her to a draw without using Yin Yang Sanshou.
Also, as I interacted more and more with 'Black Death God' Peng TouSi and gramps Ren, I realized that they usually don't leak their momentum. It's only when they make a move that their momentum would sweep over. Like the hoodlums and me in the past, they would reveal their momentum at any time. In the eyes of advanced people, it's a very childish behavior.
It was also mentioned in Dragon Ball that some aliens would usually use a form with lower combat power in order to save energy. They would only transform in times of crisis (like Frieza).
Therefore, rather than competing with the opponent's momentum throughout the battle (or competition), it was better to lead the opponent into one's own rhythm and only make a move when it was time to make a move. Be quiet like a virgin, move like a fleeing rabbit, and decide victory or defeat in a flash.
Niu ShiLi, who did not realize this, clashed head-on with the members of Class 6 who were eager to tie the score. No one was willing to give in to the other. After Xu LiJun missed a three-pointer, they fell into a chaotic battle of rebounds.
The other team held a grudge against Niu ShiLi for injuring their captain, so they didn't hold back during the collision. Two defenders against one made Niu ShiLi lose his balance in midair and sprained his right foot when he landed.
Now it was his turn to sit on the ground and couldn't get up. As the captain, I scored the free throws for him.
Two free throws for a total of two points, so I accepted them.
Niu ShiLi, who was squatting on the ground, looked at me with a complicated expression.
The referee quickly blew the final whistle and class 2-3 won the match 64: 60.
I scored 21 points and Niu ShiLi scored 18 points. In terms of the difference in the bet, it was 21: 43, a difference of 22 points.
But that wasn't important. It wasn't even important that I received the acknowledgement of Xu LiJun and You Chen, so I might be able to pass more in the next match.
There were only two important pieces of news:
First, in the match that took place at the same time on another plastic basketball court, the traditionally weak team, Class 4, defeated Class 1 in an upset. However, they also paid the price of having two of their main players injured. In the next match, they would become a pushover that everyone could bully.
Second, Niu ShiLi sprained his right foot. According to the school doctor Chen YingRan, although it didn't hurt his bones, he wouldn't be able to participate in any strenuous exercise without a week of rest.
In other words, Niu ShiLi was destined to be unable to participate in the match against class 4. Since he wasn't present, the other players' points couldn't be counted into his total points. As long as I slaughtered class 4, I could definitely make a comeback.
