308: Chapter 308: The First Ball’s for You (Second Update) 308: Chapter 308: The First Ball’s for You (Second Update) “What’s next, another game?
Is it starting yet?”
Xiaoxiao, seemingly emerging from nowhere off the elevator, approached Xiong Lin and a group of Presidents to ask.
After all, he was just the host, and with Zhao Fen having gone to the hospital during the second period, what were they supposed to do next?
“Play?
Why wouldn’t we play?
The provincial games aren’t dictated by what Zhao Fen says,” a chorus of Presidents declared.
“However, Big Bear, for the upcoming games, can we not let Zhang Fan participate?
Whenever he plays, it turns into a one-man show,” someone said to Xiong Lin.
“No way!”
Ouyang Feng and the other three unanimously exclaimed.
Who were they kidding?
Basketball was their main goal for coming today.
Not include Zhang Fan?
No freaking way.
By then, Zhang Fan had also walked over.
“So, let’s move up the basketball game.
After that’s over, I won’t bother you guys anymore,” Zhang Fan said with a chuckle.
“The basketball game?”
Over ten Presidents hesitated but then quickly nodded.
As long as Zhang Fan wasn’t in the subsequent matches, anything was fine.
It was just a basketball game, after all, and there were only two teams playing.
“Okay!”
“OK, then I’ll go back to hosting,” Xiaoxiao said.
Having received an answer, Xiaoxiao climbed back onto the elevator.
“Due to President Zhao’s unexpected situation and the collective decision of the city Presidents, the basketball game will take place in ten minutes,” Xiaoxiao announced.
As soon as Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the crowd erupted.
“Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Feng!”
“Han Xu, Han Xu!”
Men and women alike, at that moment, all began to scream.
If it wasn’t for this basketball game, why would they have come at all?
They were very curious, though.
Wasn’t the basketball game scheduled for the afternoon?
And it was supposed to be the final match, so why was it suddenly moved up?
Upon hearing the news, Han Xu and the others were also very curious, as six people, holding basketballs, walked over.
“What’s going on?
Why move the game up?” Han Xu approached, his expression skeptical.
“Yeah, we haven’t even finished warming up,” another young man complained, frowning.
“Hey, I’m telling you, Ouyang Feng, you guys aren’t planning something sketchy, are you?” Han Xu stared down Ouyang Feng and continued, “Where are Luo Ywei and Tang Bing from your team?
Why don’t I see them?”
Ouyang Feng ignored Han Xu, instead slinging an arm around Zhang Fan’s shoulders and saying, “Let’s go get ready.”
“Pfft!”
Han Xu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes glued on Zhang Fan in disbelief, “Is he playing too?”
“Got a problem with that?” Zhong Tianchen said, smirking.
“No, no, no problem,” Han Xu hastily shook his head and then quickly added, “But just to make it clear, you guys better not hit anyone.”
Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and said, “Do I look like I hit people?”
Han Xu and the others nodded vehemently, “You totally do!”
Who were they kidding?
Li Yu was taken down by him.
If he suddenly strikes during the game, how could anyone play?
“Don’t worry, we only brought five guys today.
We intend to finish this game.
Hitting people would get us kicked out,” Ouyang Feng said.
“That’s for the best,” Han Xu and the others quickly agreed.
As Zhang Fan and his team went to change into their uniforms, the others started to discuss urgently.
“Boss, I’m really nervous.
What does Ouyang Feng mean by bringing Zhang Fan in to play basketball?” one of them asked anxiously.
“Boss, I’m really panicking too, you saw Zhang Fan’s combat power.
Li Yu got punched away, Zhao Fen got knocked off the platform in three seconds, what if it comes to blows, we’d be flattened in minutes,” another person said.
Han Xu furrowed his brows and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry about this, Ouyang Feng’s group has only five people.
It’s definitely not possible for them to start a fight unless they want to lose.
Moreover, I’ve heard that this game is Ouyang Feng’s last.
After today, he’s going to go back home and run a business, so this game is crucial to him.
Therefore, Zhang Fan could very well be a master.”
“A master?
That’s impossible, I admit Ouyang Feng is a master, but Zhang Fan?
I don’t buy it.”
“I don’t buy it either, goddamn, boxing, track and field, archery, all damn good, if he can play basketball too, that’s just too much,” one person said enviously.
“Let’s not worry about the rest, let’s prepare well, we have to take this game down beautifully,” Han Xu said.
After Zhang Fan and Ouyang Feng’s group changed into their uniforms and sneakers, the five of them walked side by side slowly towards the court.
When a group of spectators saw Zhang Fan in his basketball uniform, their faces went completely blank.
“Damn, am I seeing this wrong?
Is that Zhang Fan next to Ouyang Feng?”
“Shit, you’re not seeing wrong, it’s Zhang Fan.”
“God damn it, is he also going to play in the basketball game?”
“It seems so, Ouyang Feng’s team only has five people including him.”
“Damn, does Zhang Fan even want us to live?
What the hell, is he an all-rounder?”
However, the cheering squad was already boiling over.
“Ah, Brother Fan, Brother Fan is going to play.”
“Shit, I heard from Yang Haochen long ago that Zhang Fan thrashed Ouyang Feng and his group, damn, I’m glad I rushed over, otherwise I’d regret it for life.”
Meanwhile, the live stream was filled with cursing.
“I’m so pissed, the basketball game started just now, and I’m still on the way.”
“Damn, Yang Haochen that idiot, the next time I see him, I’m gonna beat him to death, such important news and he didn’t inform us in advance, ahhhh!”
Yang Haochen, also on the way, was sweating profusely as he watched the situation in the livestream.
“Master, turn around, back to S city,” Yang Haochen said, sweating.
“What?
Not going anymore?
We’re only ten minutes away, almost there,” The driver said in surprise.
“Ah?
Almost there?” Yang Haochen felt terribly conflicted.
Shit, to go or not to go?
After thinking for a while, Yang Haochen gritted his teeth, “Let’s go, let’s go.”
Even if I get beaten up, I accept it.
Yeah, find a corner, sneakily watch, and then leave.
Right, just like that.
Once they reached the court and shook hands with Han Xu and others, Ouyang Feng also started making arrangements.
“Today, we don’t have specific positions.
When there’s a chance, pass the ball to me and Zhang Fan.
Everything prioritizes Zhang Fan, got it?” Ouyang Feng said.
Zhong Tianchen and the others immediately nodded.
They knew that the key to today’s victory was Zhang Fan.
As for Ouyang Feng not assigning positions, they understood as well.
All because of Zhang Fan, this freak.
Power forward, center, small forward, shooting guard, point guard, this freak can perfectly play any position.
As for them, at most, they could only play the role of passing and controlling the ball.
After shaking hands with Han Xu and others, two referees also walked over.
“The first ball is yours, I’ll grab it,” Zhang Fan said.
He knew the importance of today’s game for Ouyang Feng and he had to give him a magnificent opening.
Ouyang Feng nodded heavily.
“Good brother, I’ll remember this.”
