Gao Chenyu dribbled the ball, feinting twice between his legs. When Ling Tian was less than a meter away, he suddenly accelerated!
Gao Chenyu was serious now, and he was determined. He brought out his secret weapon: speed!
He had undergone professional athletic training since childhood, and with his long legs, his 100-meter sprint time was under 11 seconds.
What did this speed mean? Among professional football players, this speed would be considered top-tier.
And if he participated in some provincial or city-level sprint competitions, this speed could even win him first place.
Normally, in training and school-level competitions, he didn't need to exert his full speed; his skills alone were enough to dominate.
This was his trump card, prepared for his future pursuit of professional competition qualifications.
Gao Chenyu dribbled the ball, accelerated, and his speed suddenly increased, instantly surging forward nearly two meters.
However, to his surprise, Ling Tian wasn't cleanly outmaneuvered. Instead, he stayed glued to Gao Chenyu's body, following him closely!
After pushing forward more than ten meters, Ling Tian not only wasn't shaken off but also forced Gao Chenyu to reduce his speed through constant close-quarters contact.
"Holy crap... Gao Chenyu is so fast..."
"Holy crap... He can keep up with Gao Chenyu's speed? Is this kid a monster?"
The two were now in a post-up position, facing off across the three-point line. Gao Chenyu extended his hand, signaling his teammates to spread out. He wanted to one-on-one this kid.
His teammates, being sensible, complied. This was the privilege of a core player on the basketball court.
Facing Ling Tian's defense, Gao Chenyu used every trick in the book, executing dazzling fake moves.
However, Ling Tian on the other side remained unfazed.
Little did he know, he was facing a top-tier doctor.
Ling Tian had a thorough understanding of every bone and muscle in the human body.
The human body is an interconnected whole; when you intend to make a movement, other parts of your body will also make corresponding movements.
Ling Tian could discern which of the opponent's moves were genuine and which were fake, simply based on this medical knowledge.
Gao Chenyu realized his fakes weren't working well, so he tried to make a real breakthrough. But as soon as he prepared to accelerate in one direction, Ling Tian moved sideways with even greater speed, firmly blocking his path to the basket!
Gao Chenyu attempted several breakthroughs in a row, but each was anticipated and his path blocked.
Suddenly, the whistle blew.
A commotion erupted from the sidelines. It turned out that 24 seconds had passed; the shot clock had expired!
Gao Chenyu was so focused on how to break through Ling Tian that he overlooked the game clock!
This was practically a grave insult for a basketball player!
At the sidelines, Wang Bingxia, wearing a pink tracksuit, was enthusiastically applauding and cheering for Ling Tian.
Gao Chenyu turned his head and saw this scene, instantly infuriated.
Possession changed hands. It was Class 2's turn to inbound the ball. Their guard passed it to Ling Tian. As Ling Tian took a step to dribble, Gao Chenyu lunged at him.
He spread his legs wide and his arms wide, maximizing his defensive coverage. His two teammates also skillfully tangled up the two teammates closest to Ling Tian.
This made it impossible for Ling Tian to escape the defense through passing.
"This is bad!"
The players from Class 2 were extremely worried. Facing such defense, even professional players would be at high risk of losing the ball.
However, Ling Tian wore a calm smile on his face.
He dribbled the ball unhurriedly. As Gao Chenyu came within half a meter, Ling Tian pulled his dribbling arm back and flicked his fingers forward.
The basketball seemed to come alive, instantly accelerating forward and slipping right between Gao Chenyu's legs, bouncing up as it landed.
Almost simultaneously, Ling Tian accelerated. Gao Chenyu only felt a gust of wind pass by him; the defensive player in front of him was gone!
"Holy crap, a between-the-legs crossover!"
Pulling off a between-the-legs move on the basketball court was far more difficult than on the football field. And the person who was crossed over lost all face.
Ling Tian exploded into motion, retrieved the bouncing ball, and took two steps forward.
At this point, the other two players from Class 1 also rushed over, forming a double-team on Ling Tian. It was a pincer defense!
In a flash, Ling Tian slammed the ball hard onto the ground and accelerated rapidly.
The two defenders felt a blur pass by them. By the time they closed the gap, they nearly collided with each other, only to find that their defender was long gone.
Ling Tian broke through the double-team with a burst of speed. The opponent's half-court was now in front of him, wide open.
He dribbled to the front three-point line, stopped, and pushed the ball forward with both hands. The shot was accurate and powerful, hitting nothing but net!
"Good!"
"Awesome!"
"So cool, I'll have your babies!"
The spectators erupted. Ling Tian's brilliant performance just now was rarely seen even in professional games; only when superstar players performed exceptionally well could such skill be displayed!
The players from Class 1 were stunned. They had used their years of practiced teamwork and all their strength to defend that play, yet they couldn't stop him and were utterly humiliated.
After a moment, they recovered and inbounded the ball again.
This time, Gao Chenyu had learned his lesson. As Ling Tian was still far away, he quickly passed the ball.
Seeing this, Ling Tian quickly directed the Class 2 players to fall back. The players now followed Ling Tian's commands without question and retreated to their own three-point line.
The ball was brought to the frontcourt and passed back to Gao Chenyu. He dribbled twice, but the opponent still didn't fall for his fakes.
He tried to break through, but the opponent's lateral movement was too fast, leaving no room for a breakthrough.
However, Gao Chenyu didn't give up. He had one last move!
Suddenly, Gao Chenyu pulled the ball back, stopped, and executed a pull-up three-pointer!
In his opinion, although Ling Tian was fast, there was still a gap in height and wingspan compared to him. Moreover, with his surprise jump shot, there was over a meter between them, making it difficult for the opponent to interfere with his shot!
However, the next moment, the arena fell silent, and everyone's face wore an expression of utter disbelief.
The moment the opponent shot the ball, Ling Tian slightly bent his knees and leaped into the air!
The speed of his jump was terrifying, catching up to the speed of the ball's release.
Even more terrifying was the height of Ling Tian's jump. After leaping, he straightened his body, raised his arms high, and his feet were about 1.2 meters off the ground!
This was a standing jump with no running start, and he jumped in such a posture. This vertical leap was simply god-defying!
The basketball, flying towards the hoop, was directly swatted away by Ling Tian's fingertips in mid-air.
