CHAPTER 695: CHAPTER 695: HOLD STEADY, WE CAN WIN!
Five minutes before the game starts.
Xishan High School’s players are struggling desperately, warming up like mad.
On Muying’s side, Ji Yebai is still standing in front of Ning Xixi, pointing at her little head, "During the game, you can only cheer for this young master. If I hear you rooting for another man, do you believe that I will..."
"How so?" Ning Xixi’s face reads, "What can you do to me?"
Seeing the girl talk back, Ji Yebai raises an eyebrow, the smile on his face wicked, "Believe it or not, I will kiss you in front of everyone?"
Ning Xixi’s face turns red in an instant, "You... you have no shame!"
"Is a face more important than you?" He speaks with a dismissive tone.
Ning Xixi: ...!!
"Go warm up! Off you go!" Ning Xixi pushes him away, her face still as red as a cooked shrimp.
Ji Yebai’s eyes and brows are filled with smiles as he goes to loosen up his wrists and ankles.
Xishan’s team captain fires everyone up, "Don’t be wimps! The opponents are just five pretty boys! So what if they’re good-looking? You don’t play basketball with your face! Hold steady, we can win! Our training wasn’t for nothing!"
The others find his point sensible, and the way they look at Ji Yebai and his group starts to fill with disdain.
The game begins!
With the sound of the whistle, the whole venue’s atmosphere gets pumped up!
The ball is in play, the jump is made!
Xiao Xichen snatches the ball, leaving the people from Xishan stunned.
Holy crap? How can he jump that high? You got springs in your shoes or what?!
Xiao Xichen charges forward, dribbling past players, moving so swiftly it seems like the wind is under his feet, drawing waves of screams from the girls.
Passing the ball, juking defenders... Ji Yebai and his group display extraordinary teamwork, and after finding an opening, Yan Yichen passes the ball to the most slack, Ji Yebai.
Ji Yebai appears to not even glance at the hoop, casually tossing the ball.
From this angle, there’s no way it’ll go in! The Xishan team captain firmly believes.
But the next second, with a resounding clang, the ball slips through the net!
"..." You gotta be kidding me? How does that even go in? Are you even human?
What follows is a complete massacre of Xishan.
The skills of Ji Yebai and his group are flawless, and the most incredible among them is Ji Yebai himself, practically a decathlon fighter jet.
Half-time break.
"Damn it, how can someone never miss?" A Xishan player gasps for air, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
The complexion of Xishan’s team captain darkens. At this rate, a comeback looks bleak!
This is just the first round of the game. If they lose, how can they face anyone?
"Use that move, I’ll take the blame if anything happens!"
"Captain, that’s not really good..."
"What’s good or not good! Winning is all that matters!"
...
As soon as the second half begins, Xiao Xichen has just bypassed a player when suddenly a Xishan member emerges from the side, ramming into him hard!
Xiao Xichen grunts, damn it, they’re actually resorting to these kinds of physical tricks to play dirty!
By their proficiency, it seems they’ve done this quite a bit!
Others got hit as well, the Xishan players perfectly avoiding the referee’s line of sight, and in just a few minutes, they actually managed to reclaim a fair number of points.
Another time, as Ji Yebai jumps for a shot, the Xishan team captain bumps him to the side, and another player slams his knee viciously against Ji Yebai’s long leg. Ji Yebai loses his balance and half-kneels on the ground!
Ning Xixi bites her lip, so anxious she almost wants to rush onto the court. What’s happened to Yebai?
Ji Yebai’s cold sweat drips drop by drop onto the wooden floor, while the Xishan team captain offers a fake concern, "Hey, number 9, are you tired? Do you need a timeout to rest?"
