"Hey, is your team out of players?"
Lin Jianghua, accompanied by Wu Chunjian and Song Hui, stepped forward to meet Wan Yunting, Zhu Li, and the others. Due to their towering heights, with most standing at 1.9 or 2 meters, Wan Yunting, at 1.8 meters, appeared a head shorter among them.
Even Lin Jianghua, standing before Wan Yunting, looked down on him, a sneer on his lips, and said, "Buddy, I haven't seen you before. With your height, are you a professional player?"
Facing Lin Jianghua's two-meter stature, an ordinary person would feel a sense of pressure standing beside him. However, Wan Yunting didn't seem to care much about his taunts and condescension, smiling lightly and replying, "This is my first professional game."
"A rookie indeed."
Lin Jianghua turned to laugh with Wu Chunjian and the others, then looked down at Wan Yunting again, sneering, "It's your bad luck to run into us in your first professional game!"
"Oh."
Wan Yunting, with a smile, gave off a sly demeanor. "It's your bad luck to encounter me tonight!"
Lin Jianghua's expression changed slightly. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the smiling young man before him. He hadn't expected him to dare retort. He immediately snorted coldly, "Kid, I'll make you cry like Luo Zhixiang later."
"Heh heh."
Wan Yunting shrugged and said with a smile, "Then I'll be waiting to see."
Just then, the referee blew his whistle, and the game resumed. Since Lin Jianghua's team had scored in the previous play, their score was now 49 points, while Wan Yunting's team had only 26 points, a difference of 23 points.
Zhu Li inbounded the ball and passed it directly to Wan Yunting. Lin Jianghua immediately charged forward and taunted, "Kid, dare you go one-on-one with me?"
Wan Yunting stood in the center of the court, spinning the basketball. Facing the taunting Lin Jianghua, he smiled and said, "Sure."
Lin Jianghua was surprised at how quickly the kid agreed. He immediately curled his lips into a slight smile and beckoned with a finger, "Come on, let me see what you've got."
Wan Yunting smiled, "Then you'd better watch closely."
The other players, seeing they were about to go one-on-one, naturally stopped their movements. Wu Chunjian, Zhang Qingshan, and the others pointed and chattered at Wan Yunting, who was a head shorter than Lin Jianghua, looking like they were watching a show.
Zhou Mian, Zhu Li, Cao Jinghua, and Yang Zaiyu also stopped to watch. Seeing Lin Jianghua's arrogant and conceited expression, completely disregarding Wan Yunting, Zhou Mian and the others couldn't help but sneer. They shouted to Wan Yunting, "Brother Wan, crush him..."
On the spectator stands, the fans saw this scene unfold again and started discussing, believing that based on his strength alone, he was no match for Lin Jianghua, the core player of the Guangshi professional team.
"I've never heard of this Wan Yunting playing basketball before."
"Yeah, although he's our city's anti-drug hero, this isn't catching drug dealers or fighting criminals. Can he do it?"
"I doubt it. Look at Lin Jianghua, he's a head taller than him. They're not even in the same league. How can they play?"
For a moment, everyone present didn't think highly of Wan Yunting, believing that going one-on-one with Lin Jianghua would surely result in him being brutally defeated and embarrassed, just like Luo Zhixiang before.
But in the next second, something happened that stunned everyone present...
Wan Yunting controlled the ball with his right hand. Facing the defense of the tall and strong Lin Jianghua, he flashed past with a bizarre step. Lin Jianghua felt a blur of a shadow flash before his eyes...
By the time he turned around, Wan Yunting was already beyond the three-point line. With a standard jump shot form, the basketball traced a perfect arc in the air and rattled into the basket with a clang.
Instantly, the entire audience fell silent, until Jiang Peipei, sitting in the front row, excitedly stood up and shouted, "Good shot..."
"Wow, that was too fast..."
The next moment, all the spectators erupted in exclamations. Wan Yunting's breakthrough past Lin Jianghua's defense was too fast, making it impossible for anyone to see how he had broken through and gotten past Lin Jianghua. Even Wu Chunjian and Song Hui on the court hadn't reacted before Wan Yunting had already scored a three-pointer.
"Brother Wan, awesome..."
Zhou Mian, Zhu Li, Cao Jinghua, and Yang Zaiyu immediately rushed up, excitedly high-fiving Wan Yunting. Seeing the stunned and disbelieving expressions on the faces of Lin Jianghua, Song Hui, Wu Chunjian, and Zhang Qingshan, Zhu Li and the others felt an immense sense of satisfaction. They laughed provocatively, "What about it, didn't you say you were going to make our Brother Wan cry? Did you not react just now?"
"Haha..."
Cao Jinghua and the others burst into laughter. In the first half, when Luo Zhixiang was present, they had been completely suppressed by Lin Jianghua and his team, making Zhu Li and the others play with great frustration. Now that Wan Yunting had entered the game and extinguished Lin Jianghua's arrogance, how could Yang Zaiyu and the others not be excited?
The fans in the stands were also dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Wan Yunting to be so skilled, even outplaying Lin Jianghua in a one-on-one challenge. Everyone was shocked and found it incredible that this anti-drug hero of the city had such remarkable basketball skills.
"Third brother's basketball skills are still so amazing." Second brother Wan Dongming, sitting in the front row, said with a proud smile.
Wang Chulin beside him smiled, "This is the first time I've seen third brother play basketball."
"Brother Wan is so cool."
Ye Manni, beating her balloon sticks, caught the attention of Jiang Peipei sitting to her right. Jiang Peipei glanced at Ye Manni, completely unaware of her relationship to Wan Yunting.
At this moment, Lin Jianghua on the court finally recovered. He raised an eyebrow, looking at Wan Yunting, completely clueless as to how the kid had broken through his defense. "Hey, how did you do that just now?"
Wan Yunting looked at Lin Jianghua, clearly still unconvinced, and smiled, "Want to try again?"
"I'm not afraid of you."
Lin Jianghua naturally wasn't intimidated. However, it was their turn to have possession of the ball. Wan Yunting smiled, "This time, you attack, and I'll defend!"
Lin Jianghua received the pass from Wu Chunjian. Facing Wan Yunting, who was a head shorter than him, he sneered, "Kid, stand firm, don't fall and blame me."
Wan Yunting curved his lips into a smile and beckoned him, "Come on."
Seeking death!
Lin Jianghua's face immediately turned grim. Facing Wan Yunting's provocation made him extremely angry. He believed he had been careless before, which allowed Wan Yunting to succeed. Therefore, this time, Lin Jianghua would focus and must regain the point, otherwise, he couldn't save face.
So, Lin Jianghua dribbled the ball and moved towards Wan Yunting. His imposing physique made the audience worry he might knock Wan Yunting over...
The next second, just as Lin Jianghua launched his offense, Wan Yunting also moved. His speed was incredible, almost lightning fast. With a swift step, Lin Jianghua again saw a blur flash before his eyes...
The next moment, he felt the basketball gone from his hands. By the time he turned around, he saw Wan Yunting dribbling the ball towards the basket. He jumped from the three-point line and shot another standard three-pointer...
