158: Chapter 157: Leading the Rhythm 158: Chapter 157: Leading the Rhythm “The timing is just perfect, Big Brother is going up to show his moves, so no one can talk behind my back,” Song Yun stretched and said, “Little Shishi, you better watch closely and see how I beat the Armed Police Department so bad they’ll never want to play basketball again.”
“Yeah, sure, keep bragging,” Li Shishi rolled his eyes disapprovingly at Song Yun.
“You might be agile, but this is a basketball game, not a fight.
I don’t believe you can turn the tide all by yourself.”
“Ok, ok, just remember the reward, and don’t worry about anything else,” Song Yun said with a mischievous smirk in his eyebrow.
“Time-out, time-out, we’re making a substitution.” Song Yun called out, and the referee blew the whistle.
The five police officers came off the court, each tired and sweaty, but their faces showed they had enjoyed the intense last few minutes of the game.
Everyone had played together before, and it wasn’t like Chen Ming, who acted like a big shot here and would curse at people if they didn’t pass the ball to him.
“We’ve all had our fun.
Now it’s my turn to play.
Who wants to take a break?” Song Yun warmed up his body as he spoke.
“I’ll go down; I can’t keep up anymore,” a young officer said with a goofy smile, looking at Song Yun.
“Coach, please give it your all.
Our Police Department has lost to the Armed Police for two years straight.”
“Don’t worry, this year’s trophy will definitely belong to the Police Department,” assured Song Yun, patting his shoulder.
After getting on the court, the ball was with the police.
Song Yun warmed up a bit more, then made a sharp cut, finding himself in an open space.
A policeman passed the ball sharply to Song Yun, who wanted to see the true level of these officers.
It’s one thing to watch from the sidelines but another to get the feel for teamwork on the court.
He passed it adeptly to a policeman who broke into the enemy’s key and took a three-point jump shot.
Clang, it brushed all around but didn’t go in.
Song Yun gave the man an encouraging glance and waited for the Armed Police Department’s attack.
Their point guard dribbled the ball towards Song Yun, did a crossover under his legs, and was about to break through.
Did Song Yun look like someone who could be so easily trifled with?
With a seemingly casual reach, Song Yun snatched the ball.
A quick start and, before anyone could react, Song Yun charged into their defense like lightning.
Before the guard could respond, a ferocious dunk silenced the whole court.
Then, like a long-building volcanic eruption, the court exploded with noise!
Song Yun’s dunk detonated the crowd, even energizing the weary officers.
It was his aggression, after all, that was spreading like wildfire.
Despite the jubilant atmosphere, everyone was muttering under their breath, wondering who this guy was and why they hadn’t seen him at the police station before.
But watching him play so well, could he be a ringer brought in by the chief?
“Cough, cough, I say, Old Wang, how come the Police Department has been keeping such a demon in reserve?
You could’ve played him from the start, instead of waiting for a tight spot to let him loose,” the head of the Armed Police Department said awkwardly.
Wang Dong laughed heartily.
“Minister Zhu, it looks like your resources will have to lean our way this time.”
After all, when his team was dominating earlier, he had mocked the Police Department.
Now that they were using the same tactics against him, it was his turn to swallow his words.
Self-inflicted misfortune!
“Song Yun is really amazing,” Li Shishi exclaimed in disbelief, her eyes wide.
She hadn’t expected Song Yun’s basketball skills to be this impressive.
She had thought Song Yun was just messing around, but his dunk had ignited the entire atmosphere.
It’s undeniable that Song Yun had a knack for rallying people’s spirits.
“Come on, everybody, keep your spirits up and let’s win this game,” Song Yun said, high-fiving each of his teammates.
The team members followed suit, and in no time, everyone in the Police Department was pumped with fiery blood.
“Damn, this kid really knows how to show off.
Just don’t let him end up in my hands one day, hmph,” Chen Ming said with an ashen face.
This kid looked like a pretty boy, weak and frail.
If Chen Ming engaged him in a match focused on skills and combat, this guy surely wouldn’t be able to match up with him, which cooled Chen Ming’s anger slightly.
“Yeah, right, who can compare with Brother Chen?” The original coach agreed with Chen Ming.
“This kid looks like a pushover.
Just watch; he’ll be as tired as a dead dog in a bit.”
“Bro, I’m really going to enjoy this next part,” the five players from the Armed Police Department smiled at Song Yun.
They didn’t mock him for his recent slam dunk but rather showed respect for Song Yun.
Song Yun beckoned them with his hand, not saying a word.
The Armed Police Department started organizing another attack.
This time, knowing better than to try to break through where Song Yun was, they opted for a power move inside.
The police’s defense was clearly weaker inside.
One strong push, and they forced their way half a body width inside, then the player turned and shot with a soft touch.
But just as he did, a shadow loomed before him—Song Yun was already there.
The composure of the Armed Police Department players sank.
Sure enough, as the ball ascended, Song Yun leapt, swatting the ball down mightily, with the force of Taishan.
Whap!
The ball flew out of bounds.
“Oh~~, invincible Police Department, long live the Police Department!” a pretty young policewoman stood up and shouted fiercely, while the rest were stunned in their seats.
Some old basketball fans were especially feeling chaotic—all this didn’t seem normal.
The Armed Police player was well over 1.85 meters tall, and with a jump shot, the release point must have been at least two meters high.
Nobody anticipated that Song Yun could block it like that; even in the NBA, few star players could pull off such a stunt.
Song Yun himself took it in stride.
His 100-kilogram weight training had brought his jump to 1.67 meters, and now he was unweighted.
Although the Armed Police players were tough, they were simply outmatched.
This time it was the Armed Police Department’s turn to throw in from the sideline.
A player made a cut, leaving his defender behind, and leaped high, ready to catch the ball.
That’s when Song Yun, like a spirit attaching to a body, appeared before him again, intercepting the ball, and sprinted forward.
But this time, the defense retreated quickly.
Especially that center, whom Song Yun had just blocked, looked murderous under the basket, as if Song Yun had stolen his girlfriend’s virginity.
He was all set, waiting for Song Yun to come, ready to commit a technical foul if necessary to prevent another score.
Forget the opening dunk; just that recent block had already caused their morale to dip.
If this continued, the consequences were unthinkable.
