Guan Chen gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke, clenched his fists, and glared at He Chen, his anger growing stronger.
He really underestimated this short guy. He was clearly less than 180cm tall, but his jumping ability was so strong. When he stretched out one hand, it was like an octopus, firmly wrapping the ball around.
Meanwhile, the students from No. 1 Middle School in the stands were filled with resentment, pointing at Guan Chen and cursing, "Who is this number 8 player? Does he even know how to play basketball?"
You always have a chance to pass the ball, but you never do it. You're like a ball hog, aren't you? You've fallen in love with the ball!
During halftime, the coach called Guan Chen aside and scolded him, expressing his dissatisfaction with his selfishness on the court.
Guan Chen retorted loudly, "Coach, if He Ning can do it, so can I!"
The coach said coolly, "If you could do that, how did we pull away from No. 2 Middle School?"
Guan Chen's expression instantly collapsed, and his mentality exploded.
The coach didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder: "Although this is a friendly league, the provincial team coach is here watching. Perform well, it's for your own good."
Guan Chen's face turned pale.
Provincial team coach?
How could he not know?
Then wasn't he just...?
In short, Guan Chen looked terrible when he returned to the team.
He gave He Ning a sinister look, his eyes seemingly poisonous. He Ning met his gaze unintentionally, and her brows furrowed even more.
When the game restarted, the No. 1 Middle School basketball team passed the ball to Guan Chen again. This time, Guan Chen finally didn't hold the ball in his arms, but passed it to He Ning.
Thud—
A perfect jump shot.
Three points.
The screams of the girls from No. 1 Middle School once again swept across the entire playground.
As the basketball game drew to a close, the two teams were now only one point apart. All the players had performed exceptionally well, but He Ning was the standout. He was the only one who could get the ball in his hands and make a shot with a 100% success rate.
With just over 20 seconds left, a player from No. 1 Middle School got the ball, passed it to Guan Chen, and then Guan Chen passed it to He Ning. They were poised to win with a final push to close the gap, but then a sudden change occurred—
A fierce glint flashed in Guan Chen's eyes. Instead of passing the ball normally as before, he aimed directly at He Ning's head and smashed the ball hard.
The ball whizzed past like a bullet, heading straight for He Ning's vitals. Almost simultaneously, all the spectators in the stands stood up and shouted, "Watch out!"
He Ning tilted his head and narrowly avoided the ball. The huge basketball grazed his ear and flew towards the other side of the stands.
Immediately following was Guan Chen's two or three lunges forward, which resulted in him pinning He Ning to the ground and beginning to angrily throw punches.
It's just a competition, what's so great about it? If he can't make it to the provincial team, he can't make it to the provincial team, and he shouldn't even think about making it either!
Let's see if he doesn't break a bone, then let's see how he'll play basketball in the future!
Suddenly, a basketball flew back to the court from the sky, blocking the group of No. 1 Middle School basketball players who wanted to break up the fight, and hit Guan Chen accurately.
Guan Chen was thrown a meter away by the impact.
Everyone on the playground was stunned by what they saw.
What...what's going on?!
How did the basketball fly back again?!
Only He Chen immediately looked at He Jing, knowing that He Jing must have kicked the ball back.
Although he was far away and couldn't see He Jing's expression clearly, he knew she must be very angry. Even from this distance, the menacing aura emanating from her could be felt.
