Pei Zhi walked to Jiang Cheng's side, glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "Better safe than sorry."
Jiang Cheng nodded slightly and said, "I know."
He glanced back at Pei Zhi, and from their eyes they could see that they were both prepared to be targeted.
Pei Zhi was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Jiang Cheng could understand his meaning from just a few words.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that Jiang Cheng was indeed very smart.
In fact, Jiang Cheng also knew that rather than the other party targeting him and Pei Zhi, who were the two scoring points, they would only use the most despicable methods on him alone.
Because they couldn't afford to offend Pei Zhi.
He was undoubtedly seen as an easy target by Pan Qing and his group.
Jiang Cheng's gaze was calm, but there was not a trace of panic in his eyes.
Whatever tricks they have up their sleeve, he'll just go for it.
He can only win this game.
At this moment, the ball was in Shi Chen's hands. Pei Zhi signaled Shi Chen to pass it to him. After receiving the ball, Jiang Cheng quickly ran to the inside.
Everyone stared intently at Pei Zhi, waiting to see who he would pass the ball to.
The next second, Pei Zhi suddenly made a move, throwing the ball directly into the air.
Everyone was shocked; the ball's trajectory was far too haphazard, making it a wasted shot.
Everything that followed happened very quickly.
Jiang Cheng suddenly leaped up, touched the ball in mid-air, and after a brief hang time, slapped the ball into the basket.
Clang.
As the ball swished smoothly over the net, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.
People kept exclaiming "Holy crap! Holy crap!" The core power that Jiang Cheng unleashed shocked almost everyone present.
Pei Xi also shouted excitedly, and she stood up unconsciously, her face turning red with excitement.
She suddenly remembered that when she was in Yi City, Dai Wei had shared a photo of a man with great abs with a great physique with abs with her.
At that time, Shi Wei had a lecherous grin on her face and said to her, "Look at that waist, those muscles, you can tell he's really strong."
Pei Xi didn't feel anything at the time, and just nodded in agreement.
Just now, she finally understood that sentence deeply.
Thinking about the terrifying core power that Jiang Cheng had just unleashed, Pei Xi thought to himself, "That's really impressive."
It's undeniably powerful.
She instinctively clutched her chest; it was the first time she had ever watched a football match with such excitement.
Sometimes I feel tense and anxious, sometimes my blood is boiling, and sometimes my heart is tingling and numb, as if an electric current is passing through it.
Jiang Cheng made no celebratory gestures, but simply continued running and switching defenses with a calm expression.
It's incredibly stable.
Although a goal was scored, the score remained very close, and the situation remained deadlocked.
The opposing team intensified their physical confrontation with Jiang Cheng, with Pan Qing marking him closely whenever he had the ball, giving him no chance to shoot.
Qin Yufan got the ball and passed it to Pei Zhi. Jiang Cheng immediately went to help Pei Zhi defend, and Pan Qing followed up, sticking to him closely.
On the other side, Jiang Bin blocked the referee's view, creating a blind spot.
A ruthless glint flashed in Pan Qing's eyes. He abruptly withdrew his hand and then swiftly elbowed Jiang Cheng in the side waist.
Jiang Cheng swayed slightly, his brow furrowing deeply.
However, he quickly regained his balance and did not move his feet at all.
At the same time, Pei Zhi took a shot directly from beyond the three-point line.
The sound of the swish ball is very pleasant; the three-pointer goes in.
"I didn't let you get beaten up for nothing," Pei Zhi whispered as he ran to Jiang Cheng's side.
He noticed Pan Qing's subtle actions.
Jiang Cheng nodded.
His face showed no change in expression, only growing colder.
He knew this was just the beginning.
Pan Qing's only target was him, and he had to be exceptionally steady with every step he took from then on.
In the following minutes, Pan Qing and his group continued to make small, disruptive moves. Towards the end, Jiang Cheng's forehead was even soaked with sweat through his hairband.
They only quieted down after the referee blew the whistle twice.
However, their dirty tricks had a significant effect, and the score was largely recovered.
The score was very close between the two teams.
The competition is getting increasingly intense.
With only one minute left, No. 1 Middle School was only two points ahead of No. 5 Middle School.
After Pei Zhi made a three-pointer, Jiang Bin grabbed the rebound and passed it to Pan Qing, who also made a three-pointer from beyond the arc, responding to Pei Zhi's attack.
The point difference between the two teams is back to two points.
At this point, there were less than twenty seconds left.
Qin Yufan grabbed the rebound and passed it to Pei Zhi. Pei Zhi dribbled the ball at lightning speed, the wind blowing his hair back as he ran, leaving only a blur of the ball.
To everyone's surprise, the next second, his hand suddenly went empty.
The ball was chopped off by the skinny, dark-skinned player from No. 5 Middle School, who then dribbled it back and immediately launched a jump shot.
The ball flew through the air, and Pei Zhi stopped in place, his expression turning cold and solemn.
He knew he'd hit the target just by looking at the ball's trajectory.
Swish, three-pointer in.
"Holy crap, awesome!!" "Awesome!!" The students from No. 5 Middle School erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
They made a comeback.
At this moment, No. 5 Middle School is leading No. 1 Middle School by one point, with only eight seconds left on the clock.
Possession of the ball came to No. 1 Middle School.
Pan Qing exchanged a glance with the others, "We absolutely cannot let them penetrate the paint, we must not give them any chance to score a layup."
It's easy to score inside; once you score, you can make one basket and add two points, and the score will be reversed.
There can be absolutely no mistakes.
Everyone at No. 5 Middle School was on high alert.
Shi Chen passed the ball to Pei Zhi. Pei Zhi glanced at the opponent's tight interior defense and then at the timer, his eyes cold.
