The silence lasted for about five seconds.
Immediately afterwards, gasps of amazement arose, and onlookers began to speak.
"That was almost a three-pointer from mid-court! He actually made that! That's incredible!"
"I've only ever seen this kind of skill in professional basketball stars on TV. I never imagined that our Fanjia County No. 1 High School would have such talent. Zhou Chen is awesome."
"I know Zhou Chen is good at basketball, but that super long-range three-pointer he just made was really cool. Even I, a guy, was impressed by it."
The boys generally knew a bit about basketball and knew how impressive Zhou Chen's shot was. The girls, though less knowledgeable, knew that making such a long-range shot must be amazing, especially the girls in Zhou Chen's class, who cheered and shouted for him.
Even the girls from other classes were equally excited, and Zhou Chen's name echoed across the basketball court.
Its popularity is evident.
"Is Brother Chen really that popular?"
Li Kaile was startled when he saw this. Then, a teasing look appeared on his face. He thought that Gao Shuai was asking for trouble by trying to gain attention through Zhou Chen. This time, he had kicked a hornet's nest and was going to embarrass himself.
Standing on the sidelines were a group of Zhou Chen's acquaintances, members of the school team; basically everyone was there.
"I didn't expect him to be so accurate with three-pointers."
"If it were me, I couldn't hit it so easily from that distance."
A tall young man standing next to Liu He said slowly, "He is the best basketball player in the entire school team. Of course, this was before Zhou Chen joined the school team. He was undoubtedly the number one. Now, this ranking needs to be changed."
Upon hearing this, the other members of the school team were shocked. They hadn't expected that this basketball star on the school team would have such a high opinion of Zhou Chen, and that they themselves thought their three-point shooting was inferior to Zhou Chen's.
However, considering Zhou Chen's various deeds,
The school team members seemed to understand; as the champion of the National Youth Track and Field Championships, it was only natural that he was good at basketball.
Indeed, in the hearts of the school team members, Zhou Chen's excellence is all justified, because Zhou Chen has been creating miracles.
"It's just the first shot, it's just a basket, what does it matter? The real winner is the one who wins in the end."
Sun Tingting said in a low voice. As a key member of Zhou Ling's clique, she sided with Zhou Ling and was naturally unhappy to see Zhou Chen stealing the spotlight.
"Once Zhou Chen loses to Gao Shuai, we'll tell Zhou Ling the good news."
"That's what another girl said."
This statement won the approval of the others.
at the same time,
On the basketball court, Gao Shuai was genuinely stunned when Zhou Chen launched a three-pointer. It was only when the people around him shouted Zhou Chen's name that he came back to his senses and immediately cheered himself on, telling himself not to be intimidated by Zhou Chen's preemptive strike. If he were afraid, he would fall into Zhou Chen's trap.
After calming himself down, Gao Shuai turned around, picked up the ball, and walked straight towards Zhou Chen.
As Gao Shuai brushed past Zhou Chen, he paused for a moment and said calmly, "Don't be smug. The real show is yet to come. Let's see who has the last laugh."
Zhou Chen shrugged and did not retaliate.
Being ignored, Gao Shuai merely frowned. He didn't have time to be annoyed, because it was his turn to attack while Zhou Chen defended.
He couldn't fall behind Zhou Chen, so he had to score the first goal, and he had to score it beautifully, so that he wouldn't lose to Zhou Chen in terms of momentum.
Gao Shuai glanced around at the students watching the game but couldn't see Zhou Na, which made him a little disappointed. If Zhou Na were here, it would give him even more motivation.
"Even if she's not here, I'll still do my best and let her know through other people's words that I won, and that I won specifically for her."
Gao Shuai muttered to himself. Soon, he put on a serious expression and kept dribbling the basketball in his hand until, at a certain moment, he made his move.
Whoosh!
Gao Shuai moved, his whole body like lightning, quickly rushing towards the basketball hoop. Just before colliding with Zhou Chen, he threw the basketball in his hand with one hand.
Clang!
The basketball hit the backboard.
"Didn't succeed!"
Someone was watching this scene intently, knowing that this shot was hopeless because Gao Shuai's force was too great; the basketball hit the backboard and bounced back immediately.
Just when everyone realized that this shot was hopeless,
Suddenly, a gasp rang out from the crowd, "When did he appear?"
Um?
"Yeah, wasn't he just there? How did he suddenly run down to the backboard?"
"Could it be..."
A male classmate who often plays basketball suddenly realized something. Just then, he saw Gao Shuai leap high and slam the basketball that was falling down into the basket.
Bang!
The basketball bounced off the ground, and Gao Shuai left everyone with a cool silhouette before turning away and walking towards the center to switch sides.
"Tall and handsome!"
"Tall and handsome!"
Around the basketball court, girls shouted Gao Shuai's name, and some even waved their arms wildly, hoping to attract his attention.
Without a doubt, Gao Shuai's first basket was equally impressive. Although it wasn't a super long-range three-pointer that was amazing, it was still very entertaining to watch. In particular, his high jump and dunk were incredibly stylish, very similar to the protagonist in anime, making many girls scream.
What a show-off!
These three words involuntarily popped into Zhou Chen's mind.
That's right, Gao Shuai's performance was really too pretentious, and he did it very well and very coolly. Even he didn't expect that Gao Shuai's first shot was a decoy, and that everything was a preparation for the second dunk.
"Trying to show off to me, huh? Very well!"
Zhou Chen chuckled. He allowed you to act all cool and handsome once, but only once.
It was Zhou Chen's turn to attack again.
Zhou Chen launched another long-range three-pointer, with the same trajectory and the same result—the basketball went in accurately.
The audience gasped in amazement once again.
Gao Shuai frowned slightly. Zhou Chen's three-point shooting was quite impressive, with such a high accuracy rate. This was the first time he had ever seen it.
"I don't believe you can hit the target every time; there will always be times when you miss."
Gao Shuai was not discouraged. Although his defensive posture seemed to be a joke, Zhou Chen easily scored a goal without attacking.
But he will regain the face he lost.
It's just a three-pointer!
Gao Shuai narrowed his eyes. When it was his turn to attack, he immediately had an idea. After making a few fake moves in front of Zhou Chen, he suddenly jumped back and shot the ball while in mid-air.
That's right, he also took a three-pointer.
Thump!
Basketball goes into the basket.
His three-pointer went in!
Seeing this, Gao Shuai smiled slightly. This was his way of retaliating in kind. He then gave Zhou Chen a provocative look.
Upon receiving the signal, Zhou Chen remained calm and responded with action. That's right, he shot another three-pointer. He wanted to see whose three-pointer was both fast and accurate.
...
It's past midnight, I'm asking for a free little gift.
