Both on and off the field, everyone was puzzled by Zhang Yuan's unusual behavior.
However, Zhang Yuancai didn't care about these people. He only knew that if he didn't take action, the School of Arts and Philosophy would really be doomed, and his prize money would also be gone!
After receiving the ball, Zhang Yuan suddenly accelerated and easily got past the big, clumsy center from the art academy who came up to defend him.
Li Xuekai was slightly taken aback when he saw Zhang Yuan get past his team's center.
That ball control and dribbling move was so skillful; it seems the opposing center forward is no ordinary player!
Li Xuekai quickly followed up to cover.
He bent over, his eyes like an eagle's, fixed on Zhang Yuan and the ball in his hand, and said coldly, "Don't even think about getting past me!"
Zhang Yuan glanced at Li Xuekai expressionlessly and replied indifferently.
"Yeah?"
Suddenly, the body accelerated from Li Xuekai's right side.
Li Xuekai sneered: "That's it?"
At the same time, his right hand reached behind Zhang Yuan and touched him, just like a peerless master thief!
Just as Li Xuekai was about to touch the basketball and steal it from Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan suddenly turned his back to Li Xuekai and made a beautiful quick turn and change of direction, then passed by Li Xuekai's left side!
What!
Li Xuekai was shocked!
By the time he realized he had fallen for Zhang Yuan's feint, Zhang Yuan had already fooled him!
The basketball in Zhang Yuan's hands was like a toy. No matter how Zhang Yuan moved, the ball followed him. This was not something that someone who had only been playing basketball for a little over two months and had always played the center position could do!
This exquisite ball control, this smooth and swift dribbling, is something even Chen Zhen, the strongest point guard in the School of Arts and Philosophy, probably couldn't do!
After Zhang Yuan broke through Li Xuekai's defense, he saw an open space under the basket and went straight for a layup!
Goal!
The School of Arts and Philosophy has pulled back 2 points!
At this moment, everyone was shocked!
Those who had just been doubting Zhang Yuan all shut up.
He dribbled past his opponent, faked out Li Xuekai, the star point guard of the art academy and known as the strongest point guard among the 2021 freshmen basketball stars, and scored a layup. Is this something a center can do?
He just beat Li Xuekai!!
How is that possible!
Am I seeing things?
Li Xuekai is the strongest point guard among this year's freshmen!
Ahhh!
This doesn't make sense; he's clearly just a center!
...
Not only was Li Xuekai in disbelief, but Chen Zhen, Xie Feng, Ma Jianhua, the two coaches from the School of Humanities and Philosophy and the School of Arts, as well as the main players of the School of Physical Education who were watching the game, were all dumbfounded!
Almost no one expected that Zhang Yuan would be able to get past Li Xuekai!
The stadium erupted in cheers!
Everyone started discussing the philosophy department's center forward position!
Outside the stadium, several key players from the sports academy who had been mocking Zhang Yuan just moments before changed their attitude, stroking their chins with schadenfreude and saying: "Interesting! This game seems to be more exciting than I expected."
The score was 82 to 92, with the School of Arts and Philosophy trailing by 10 points.
Zhang Yuan glanced at the score.
However, Zhang Yuan's performance has only just begun.
The School of Arts served the ball and then attacked into the School of Humanities' half of the court. Player number 13 passed the ball high to the team's point guard, Li Xuekai, but the ball was intercepted by Zhang Yuan in mid-air.
Zhang Yuan once again demonstrated what an exceptionally high jumping ability looks like. He took a running start and jumped, managing to snatch a basketball that was spinning rapidly more than 2 meters high from mid-air.
That jumping ability is truly unbelievable!
Outside the stadium, another uproar erupted.
That's an insane jump!
If our college had a player with such strong jumping ability and rebounding skills, we would have already eliminated the art college team!
Among the students watching, one of the key members of the School of Chemical Engineering murmured.
After intercepting the ball, Zhang Yuan quickly dribbled forward to the Art Academy's half of the field.
Li Xuekai anticipated that Zhang Yuan would steal the basketball when Zhang Yuan jumped, so he started running back after Zhang Yuan jumped.
When Zhang Yuan intercepted the ball and attacked into his own half, he was already positioned in the path Zhang Yuan was sure to take to intercept him.
As expected of the so-called twin stars of the 2021 freshman basketball world, their predictions and intuition far surpassed those of many present.
While Li Xuekai was defending and intercepting Zhang Yuan, the rest of the art college team realized what was happening and started running back.
"Bring it on! I was careless just now. You definitely won't get past me this time!"
Li Xuekai said with a cold face, exuding domineering aura.
"Li Xuekai, Li Xuekai!!"
Outside the stadium, crowds chanted Li Xuekai's name, demonstrating his immense popularity at the school. Moreover, the majority of these fans were girls, especially those from the art college.
Not to be outdone, the School of Humanities cheerleading team, led by Ma Jianhua, began cheering for the School of Humanities team and Zhang Yuan.
"Zhang Yuan, keep it up!"
come on! \"
...
All eyes were on Li Xuekai and Zhang Yuan.
It must be said that Li Xuekai is quite handsome, with long hair, an oval face, sword-like eyebrows, and thin lips, which has attracted a large number of supporters.
Zhang Yuan is not bad-looking either; although he is not as handsome as Li Xuekai, he is about the same.
The showdown between the star players of the two college teams, both of whom are so handsome, kept the audience glued to the screen, not daring to take a breath.
The female students from the two colleges were especially excited.
Whether it's basketball or not doesn't matter. Just imagining two handsome guys having a peak showdown under the sun, sweating profusely, is exciting enough.
Li Xuekai was guarding Zhang Yuan closely. With so many people watching him and Zhang Yuan's duel outside the court, if he let Zhang Yuan get past him again, where would he put his face?
Zhang Yuan stood in front of Li Xuekai, gently dribbling the basketball without even glancing at it, as if the basketball were an extension of his body.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuan accelerated to the right again!
Li Xuekai pressed his body tightly against Zhang Yuan, blocking Zhang Yuan's path.
"Don't even think about using the same trick on me twice!"
Li Xuekai said.
Zhang Yuan didn't say anything. He just kept a low profile, controlling the basketball and waiting for an opportunity to prevent Li Xuekai from stealing the ball.
Being closely guarded by top point guard Li Xuekai is not an easy task.
Zhang Yuan's first attempt to break through to the right failed. He took a step back, the basketball passed between his legs, he switched to his left hand, and then suddenly accelerated again, breaking through from the left.
"Don't even think about trying to get past me!"
Li Xuekai said, accelerating to the left to catch up with Zhang Yuan.
But Zhang Yuan had no intention of breaking through from the left. When Li Xuekai leaned to the left, he suddenly stopped, cut the basketball back to his right hand from behind, accelerated, and directly faked out Li Xuekai!
At this moment, due to the inertia of his body, Li Xuekai was unable to stop Zhang Yuan from breaking through to the left.
"Oh no, Barbie Q is gone!"
Li Xuekai thought to himself.
Zhang Yuan dribbled past Li Xuekai again!
However, Li Xuekai was not the only player in the art academy. When Li Xuekai was beaten, the power forward of the art academy team, player number 13, who was already waiting behind Li Xuekai, immediately went up to help defend.
Zhang Yuan's speed didn't decrease at all. He accelerated to the right again, then stopped abruptly, made a beautiful turn, and passed the art academy's number 13 power forward on the left.
This move was exactly the same as the one he used to get past Li Xuekai the first time.
Bang!
The basketball was slammed into the art school's basket!
The audience erupted in uproar once again!
Holy crap, he not only beat Li Xuekai, but also dribbled past two players before dunking!
This freshman is truly freakish. He was unstoppable as a center under the basket, and now that he's playing point guard, even Li Xuekai can't defend him!
The title of "Basketball Twin Stars of the Class of 2021" looks like it's going to change hands!
...
The School of Arts and Philosophy recovered 2 points.
The score is 84 to 92!
Because Zhang Yuan had dribbled past Li Xuekai twice in a row, the art academy no longer dared to let Li Xuekai defend Zhang Yuan alone.
As soon as Zhang Yuan gets the ball, two or even three players immediately go up to defend him.
However, Zhang Yuan is not one to keep everything to himself. Since three people from the art academy are defending, the others have a chance.
Zhang Yuan drew two or three defenders to his side, then immediately passed the ball out!
At this moment, Xie Feng, whose performance was affected by an ankle injury and who made several passing mistakes in the first half, received the ball and immediately made a three-point jump shot from the spot!
Xie Feng demonstrated to the School of Arts what a true scorer for the School of Humanities and Philosophy should be through his actions.
Although he injured his ankle, his shooting percentage is still good!
87 to 92!
Zhang Yuan stepped forward and led the School of Literature and Philosophy team to a small surge in performance.
Next, the School of Arts, led by Li Xuekai, pulled back 2 points.
At this point, eight minutes of the fourth quarter had passed, leaving only four minutes remaining in the game.
