"Elementary school teacher, are you here to make a joke?"
Huang Qingsheng, along with four other teachers, stepped forward to confront Wan Yunting, who led Lin Shang and Hao Ming, four male teachers from Huadu University.
"We'll find out who's joking when we try."
Facing the mockery and provocation from Huang Qingsheng and the teachers from Zhongnan University, Wan Yunting offered a harmless smile, showing no fear.
Huang Qingsheng immediately took two steps forward. Standing over 1.9 meters tall, he was a head taller than Wan Yunting. With a look of contempt, he looked down at Wan Yunting, a smirk on his lips. "Elementary school teacher, don't cry later when I beat you. Go find your mom."
"Hahaha..."
This remark drew laughter from Wang Zhengfei, Tan Jian, and the other teachers, as well as the Zhongnan University students in the audience. The students from Huadu University remained silent, all thinking Wan Yunting was indeed there to make a fool of himself.
Jiang Peipei blew her whistle, announcing the continuation of the game.
The previous ball belonged to Huadu University, so Hao Ming was now dribbling. Wan Yunting immediately sprinted towards the Zhongnan University basket, and Huang Qingsheng naturally stepped up to defend him.
Perhaps the teachers from Huadu University also didn't trust Wan Yunting, the elementary school teacher, as they didn't pass him the ball. As a result, Wang Zhengfei immediately stole the ball and scored another two points...
Seeing that Zhongnan University had already scored 42 points while Huadu University only had 23, a deficit of 19 points, Wan Yunting felt helpless.
"Teacher Hao, what are you doing? Didn't you see player number eight already under the basket? Why didn't you pass him the ball?" Jiang Peipei, standing by the sidelines, pointed at Wan Yunting and yelled at Hao Ming impatiently.
This made Hao Ming, Lin Shang, and the other teachers exchange glances, each shaking their heads dejectedly. "We'll pass to him later..."
This scene elicited chuckles from Huang Qingsheng and the other teachers from Zhongnan University. The teachers from Huadu University were clearly disorganized. "Let's go all out and crush them."
"You got it..."
Huang Qingsheng received the inbound pass and drove towards the left basket. Wan Yunting appeared in front of him. Huang Qingsheng smirked, "Elementary school teacher, can you guard me?"
Wan Yunting's lips curved, "Why don't you try and find out?"
Huang Qingsheng rolled his eyes dismissively. But in an instant, his vision went dark. His right hand, which was dribbling, suddenly felt empty. By the time Huang Qingsheng reacted, the basketball had already been snatched away by Wan Yunting, who was now rapidly heading towards the right basket...
At the same time, Wang Zhengfei, Tan Jian, and the other teachers were completely taken aback by Wan Yunting's ability to steal the ball from Huang Qingsheng. They froze for a moment. By the time they reacted, Wan Yunting was already jumping from beyond the three-point line to shoot. The basketball traced a perfect arc in the air, and without even touching the rim, went straight through the net...
"Holy crap, nice shot..."
As soon as they saw Wan Yunting's perfect three-pointer, the male basketball players from Huadu University immediately jumped up and cheered, as they all knew Wan Yunting's background.
The Huadu University students in the audience erupted in excitement, pointing at Wan Yunting, who was wearing jersey number eight. Although he was only 1.8 meters tall, making him the shortest player on the court, his three-point shot was simply magnificent.
"This elementary school teacher has some skills."
Hao Ming and Lin Shang, along with the other four teachers from Huadu University, finally snapped back to reality, surprised that the hired reinforcement Jiang Peipei had brought in actually possessed some talent.
"Great shot..."
Huang Yuqing, sitting on the sidelines, cheered, and Fang Yanxi was also caught up in the atmosphere, clapping her hands, her eyes fixed on Wan Yunting on the court...
"I was careless."
Huang Qingsheng, regaining his senses, attributed his earlier slip-up to carelessness and underestimating his opponent. This loss of face made him look at the approaching Wan Yunting, and he continued to taunt him, "Elementary school teacher, it seems you have some ability. I'll have to take you seriously now."
"Heh, my abilities extend beyond just this," Wan Yunting replied with his usual calm smile.
"Hmph."
Huang Qingsheng glared at Wan Yunting and ran back towards their right basket...
Huadu University initiated the play, and Teacher Hao immediately passed the ball to Wan Yunting. Looking towards the right basket, Huang Qingsheng and Wang Zhengfei were already in defensive positions. But Wan Yunting chuckled, dribbled to just outside the three-point line, stopped, raised the basketball, and shot it towards the basket...
Huang Qingsheng froze. He watched the basketball sail over his head and then, with a clank, fall into the basket. The teachers from Zhongnan University were stunned...
"Damn, shooting from that far and making it? This elementary school teacher is amazing..."
A male student from the audience stood up, his eyes wide with astonishment. The other students couldn't help but marvel at Wan Yunting's shot. They finally understood why Jiang Peipei had let this elementary school teacher replace Dai Hongyang; clearly, he had the skills.
"Teacher Wan, you're doing great."
Hao Ming and Lin Shang, the four teachers, were amazed. If the previous three-pointer might have been luck, then this long-range shot from Wan Yunting was definitely a testament to his skill. Without a certain level of proficiency, such a perfect shot would be impossible.
Unless he was a basketball prodigy!
Wang Zhengfei raised an eyebrow. "It seems the reinforcement Huadu University has brought in is no simple matter."
"Yes, we need to treat them seriously."
Tan Jian and the others nodded. Huang Qingsheng's eyes were fixed on Wan Yunting, and he finally felt a hint of threat from the opponent. "You guys focus on your positions. I'll handle this kid."
"Alright..."
Wang Zhengfei and Tan Jian nodded. This time, they initiated the play and directly passed the ball to Huang Qingsheng. He dribbled directly towards Wan Yunting. "Elementary school teacher, I was careless just now. Let's see how you guard me this time."
"Is that so?"
Wan Yunting maintained his serene smile. "Why don't you try?"
Try again...
Huang Qingsheng felt like this kid was just showing off, which annoyed him greatly. So, it was time to showcase his true skills...
It had to be said that Huang Qingsheng was a professional. His dribbling and ball control were flawless, almost breaking through Wan Yunting's defense. However, unfortunately for him, he was now facing Wan Yunting, whose reaction speed was extremely agile. He locked onto the basketball in Huang Qingsheng's hands, giving him no opportunity...
The other teachers, seeing this, knew it was a one-on-one duel between the two of them and had no intention of helping.
However, after two minutes, Huang Qingsheng was still unable to break through Wan Yunting's defense, which began to make him anxious. Wang Zhengfei, Tan Jian, and the others watching, as well as Lin Shang and Hao Ming from Huadu University, were also growing anxious...
All the students in the stadium were whispering amongst themselves, marveling at how this elementary school teacher could actually defend against Huang Qingsheng, a former provincial team professional basketball player. It was unbelievable...
"Damn it, this kid..."
Huang Qingsheng was drenched in sweat, his eyes wide with anger as he glared at the calm Wan Yunting in front of him. His eyes were like a wolf's, fixed on its prey. No matter what method he used to break through, he was perfectly defended, with no opportunity. This made Huang Qingsheng feel an increasing sense of urgency, realizing that if this continued, he would only be laughed at for being unable to defeat an elementary school teacher...
"You're getting impatient!"
Suddenly, Wan Yunting's lips curved upwards, and he said with a smile, startling Huang Qingsheng. But in that instant, Wan Yunting finally made his move. He suddenly extended his right hand, then lowered his body. In the moment Huang Qingsheng was distracted, he directly snatched the basketball from him, leaving Huang Qingsheng frozen, completely stunned in place...
The entire gymnasium fell silent. As Wan Yunting took three steps for a layup, the basketball clanked into the basket. Only then did the people on the court react...
"This... this guy, he stole the ball again..."
Wang Zhengfei and Tan Jian, standing beside him, were wide-eyed and disbelieving as they looked at Wan Yunting under their basket, who had once again stolen the ball from Huang Qingsheng...
