175: Chapter 175: By Any Means 175: Chapter 175: By Any Means The scoreboard above the stadium displayed the latest score: Flying Team 2:0 Wind and Cloud Team.
Peng Xiaotian’s face was full of anger, as Lin Fei reminded him while making the shot, which was nothing short of mockery.
Hearing Lin Fei’s fans cheering from the stands, echoing throughout the stadium, Peng Xiaotian clenched his fists tightly, veins popping on the back of his hands.
When two forwards and a defender from the Wind and Cloud Team approached him, Peng Xiaotian said in a voice only they could hear, “Remember to take Lin Fei down later, no matter what, don’t let him get the ball again.”
“Yes, Young Master Peng,” the forward and the defender replied in a low voice.
Then, Peng Xiaotian said to the defender Maohou, “You start the ball.”
Maohou nodded, picked up the basketball from the ground, went to the baseline, and then tossed the ball to Peng Xiaotian.
Catching the ball, Peng Xiaotian’s eyes emitted a fierce light as he looked at Flying Team’s Lin Fei and Xu Wei, thinking to himself: Lin Fei, next, I’ll show you what I’m made of!
Letting you run your mouth, daring to ignore me!
I’ll make you and the Flying Team notorious, a laughingstock for everyone.
Then, Peng Xiaotian dribbled towards the frontcourt of the Flying Team, moving with blistering speed and fierce dribbling.
Xu Wei and several Flying Team players were on full alert, eyes fixed intently on the advancing Peng Xiaotian, ready to defend with all their might.
However, Lin Fei remained calm, saying to the Flying Team players around him, “When Peng Xiaotian comes over, all you need to do is hold our ground, I’ll intercept the ball and attack on my own.”
Xu Wei, nearby, said worriedly, “Lin Fei, even if you steal Peng Xiaotian’s ball, there are still two forwards and two defenders in their backcourt.
Without us to cover for you, how can you make it through on your own?”
Earlier, Lin Fei managed to breakthrough Wind and Cloud Team’s interception and dunk successfully, but Xu Wei thought Wind and Cloud Team would definitely tighten their defense, not letting Lin Fei succeed again.
Nevertheless, Lin Fei only said, “Just do as I say, I’ll find a way through.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fei’s figure turned into a flash of lightning, dashing towards the oncoming Peng Xiaotian.
Upon seeing Lin Fei charging at him, a cold glint flashed in Peng Xiaotian’s eyes: Lin Fei, since you’re rushing over, I’ll let you suffer some pain!
He advanced quickly with the ball, already in the Flying Team’s frontcourt, and he and Lin Fei were charging at each other, seemingly about to collide.
Lin Fei’s fans and Peng Xiaotian’s fans in the stands stood up in shock, their expressions extremely tense.
Seeing the two about to collide at such close range, a crafty smile appeared on Peng Xiaotian’s lips as he suddenly sidestepped to the left while placing his right foot in front of Lin Fei.
Peng Xiaotian intended to dodge Lin Fei and trip him with his foot, hoping to make Lin Fei, who was rushing up, fall hard.
Just as Peng Xiaotian felt secretly pleased with his plot, suddenly a gust of wind passed, and Lin Fei, who was charging, did not trip.
As Peng Xiaotian quickly moved the ball to the left side of his body, Lin Fei, as if anticipating his move, also dodged to his left side.
By the time Peng Xiaotian realized, he found the basketball he was dribbling had disappeared without a trace.
He inwardly cried out that it was bad, hurriedly turned around, and indeed saw Lin Fei quickly attacking towards his own team’s backcourt after stealing his ball.
Wind and Cloud Team’s two forwards immediately surrounded Lin Fei, remembering Peng Xiaotian’s instructions that even through tricks, they mustn’t let Lin Fei get the ball.
The two players looked at each other and then attacked Lin Fei from both sides.
Just then, Lin Fei’s figure vanished between the two with a swoosh, and two thuds were heard as the two forwards from Wind and Cloud Team missed, their heads hitting each other, causing them to grimace in pain and see stars.
Seeing this, Peng Xiaotian was greatly irritated and quickly rushed back for defense, but Lin Fei had already effortlessly broken through the defense of two guards, leaping up and extending his long arm to dunk the ball into the Wind and Cloud Team’s basket.
Bam!
—
A precise hit on the basket.
Lin Fei scored another point.
The entire arena erupted in cheers from Lin Fei’s fans!
Peng Xiaotian was frozen in place, eyes wide in disbelief that Lin Fei had scored again.
Several team captains, including Zheng Feng in the front row of the audience, similarly couldn’t believe their eyes: Lin Fei scored again?!
Just like the first goal, single-handedly breaking into the opponent’s lineup, like a general picking off a commanding officer effortlessly.
It was explosive!
Watching made Zheng Feng and the other captains’ blood boil.
They were all captains of top-ten ranked teams, fully aware of Peng Xiaotian’s strong basketball abilities.
Yet even with such formidable skills of Peng Xiaotian, he was unable to defend against Lin Fei twice, giving up two scores.
Making Peng Xiaotian so defenseless, other than Qin Yunyue from the Crown Team having such ability, it was Lin Fei who possessed this capability.
Lin Fei’s strength shook them to the core.
“Zheng Feng was right, this Lin Fei is really something, beating Peng Xiaotian with 2 goals!” said the captain of the Hornets Team, unable to hide his delight as he spoke to Zheng Feng.
The other team captains also chimed in, saying, “That’s right, the Flying Team is amazing!”
“Originally, we thought the Flying Team was sure to lose, but now it seems they’re like a black horse that caught the Wind and Cloud Team off guard!”
“Looks like the next game is going to be even more exciting!”
Zheng Feng and the other captains were in a good mood.
They had never liked Peng Xiaotian and the Wind and Cloud Team, who were always arrogant and overbearing, but since Peng Xiaotian was powerful, they didn’t dare to offend him.
Now seeing Lin Fei play heroically, scoring two points against the Wind and Cloud Team, Zheng Feng and the others were cheering silently.
Xu Wei and the other players in the Flying Team’s frontcourt were also very surprised.
They had already witnessed Lin Fei’s formidable combat power during the last match between the Flying Team and the Passionate Team.
But today, with Lin Fei single-handedly securing two goals from the Wind and Cloud Team, Xu Wei and the others felt that it was beyond impressive; it was monstrous.
In the backcourt, Peng Xiaotian and the other four players had been in shock for a while before recovering.
The two forwards who failed to take down Lin Fei but collided heads stood on either side of Peng Xiaotian, saying in a low voice, “Young Master Peng, we hit our heads.
We’d like to switch out.”
Indescribable frustration filled Peng Xiaotian’s heart.
Not only did they fail to take down Lin Fei, but they also hit each other’s heads; fools.
However, he agreed to their request and signaled the referee for a substitution.
The referee nodded, and two substitute players from the Wind and Cloud Team came onto the court.
Peng Xiaotian gathered the four players around him, speaking in a voice only they could hear, “The only one who is difficult to deal with on the Flying Team is Lin Fei.
No matter the means, even if you’re penalized, you must severely injure Lin Fei.
As long as he cannot take the field, the rest of the Flying Team members are no match for us.”
With Lin Fei scoring two goals in a row, Peng Xiaotian decided to use any means necessary to force Lin Fei off the court.
“Yes, Young Master Peng!”
