"You..." The forward was so angered by Wu Tian that he was almost losing his mind.
He lunged directly at Wu Tian, trying to tackle him to the ground.
But with a nimble turn, Wu Tian immediately dodged his lunge and then dribbled the ball straight towards the basket.
The other players from Swan Village followed suit. At this point, they couldn't afford to hold back anymore. With a fierce intensity usually reserved for fights, they all charged at Wu Tian.
Off the court, the villagers of Peach Blossom Village felt their hearts clench.
If Wu Tian were tackled by these few people, their sheer weight alone would be enough to severely injure him!
But Wu Tian abruptly stopped, then leaped up from where he stood!
He jumped seven or eight meters high, and then, in mid-air, he arced towards the basket.
*Bang!*
With a tremor of the hoop, Wu Tian scored with a slam dunk!
Silence.
After this basket, the entire venue fell into absolute silence.
It took a full five seconds before Wang Damao started cheering.
The other villagers also applauded and cheered for Wu Tian's feat.
Xu Xiaofang, Chen Xuan, and even Zhao Xiaoli's faces were flushed, each cheering louder than the last.
Boys who played basketball were already more likely to win girls' favor, and Wu Tian now was simply beyond handsome!
On the Swan Village side, after their shock, all the players fell into dejection.
The guard from Swan Village said with a tremor, "Captain, that guy is too strong. What should we do now?"
The forward was speechless for a while, then said with a face full of anger, "This guy is such a show-off!"
"I hate show-offs the most!"
"Don't worry about anything else later. As long as he has the ball, we'll go for him!"
"Even if we cripple him, it won't be a problem for us!"
Hearing the forward say this, the players from Swan Village all nodded, even cracking their knuckles with loud pops.
Wu Tian saw their intentions at a glance, but he didn't take it to heart.
If they wanted to play like that, he didn't mind playing along with these guys.
The game continued, with only ten minutes left until the end.
There was still a gap in the score, and Wu Tian had to close the gap quickly.
However, after Wu Tian's dazzling performance, the players from Swan Village truly stopped holding back.
As soon as Wu Tian got the ball, they swarmed him like mad, looking like a pack of wild dogs fighting over a bone.
With their ferocious demeanor, any ordinary player would have likely been crippled by now.
But Wu Tian completely ignored them. It was as if he had learned the art of Lingbo Weibu, his body nimbly dodging all attacks, sinking the basketball into the hoop time and time again.
Thus, after a few minutes, without even touching Wu Tian, he had already scored ten consecutive baskets.
The score had been significantly reversed. In the face of Wu Tian's absolute skill, those so-called dirty tricks were completely ineffective.
The players from Swan Village were exhausted. They barely had the strength to continue playing.
Of course, they were extremely angry.
But what did it matter? If they couldn't win, they couldn't win. No matter how much they gritted their teeth, there was nothing they could do.
Wang Damao watched with great satisfaction, laughing heartily, "This kid Wu Tian is truly amazing! He's like our village's guardian god!"
Xu Xiaofang and the others looked at Wu Tian shyly. They already liked Wu Tian very much, and now his performance had made them completely infatuated.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Chaoqun knew that if this continued, Swan Village was bound to lose.
He quickly blew his whistle and shouted, "Timeout! Timeout!"
Afterward, he hurried onto the basketball court and shouted at Wu Tian, "I'm disqualifying you. Please leave immediately!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the enthusiastic atmosphere on the Peach Blossom Village side immediately froze.
After Jiang Chaoqun finished speaking, the villagers on the Peach Blossom Village side, after a moment of silence, immediately began a heated discussion.
Wang Damao finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He shouted at Jiang Chaoqun, "Director Jiang! Wu Tian clearly didn't commit any fouls. Why are you making him leave the game!"
Jiang Chaoqun glanced coldly at Wang Damao and said, "No foul?"
"Which eye of yours saw that he didn't commit a foul?"
"Wang Damao, let me tell you, this competition was organized by our County Planning Bureau, and we have absolute authority over it!"
"If I say he committed a foul, then he committed a foul. What of it? Are you trying to challenge me?"
"You!" Wang Damao was so angry that his head was spinning.
But he knew that he was just a small village chief, and someone like Jiang Chaoqun had a much higher status.
Therefore, despite his inner anger, he could only swallow his pride and remain silent.
On the other side, Wu Tian's expression also turned grim because of Jiang Chaoqun's words.
He knew Jiang Chaoqun was shameless, but he didn't expect him to be this shameless.
This wasn't even a hidden agenda anymore.
This was blatant violation of rules, treating all the villagers present like fools!
His eyes glinted coldly as he looked at Jiang Chaoqun and said in a deep voice, "We've tolerated you repeatedly. Don't push it too far!"
Jiang Chaoqun's lips curved slightly, revealing a smile full of disdain.
"Push it too far? Young man, you need to be clear about what you're saying. How have I gone too far?"
"I'm merely acting within the rules. From my perspective, you have indeed committed a foul."
"If you don't leave the court now, are you waiting for me to directly declare you defeated?"
Wu Tian's body trembled slightly with anger.
But he knew that Jiang Chaoqun was the ultimate authority in this game, and arguing with him was completely futile.
The anger in his heart surged, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I can leave the court, but Jiang Chaoqun, I hope you remember today's events."
"No matter what, I will definitely settle this score with you!"
Wu Tian's words, spoken through gritted teeth, caused Jiang Chaoqun to pause, and a chill ran down his spine.
But he felt he was overreacting.
He was the director of the Planning Bureau, and Wu Tian was just a kid from the countryside. What could he do to him?
With this thought, he chuckled contemptuously, "Kid, anyone can talk big, but very few can actually do it."
"I advise you to save your energy. I have connections in the police department too."
"If you dare to disrespect me, you'd better be careful you don't end up in jail."
