Both temporary coaches had been pulled over to shake hands. After all, winning ca first and friendship ca second. The ga was a disaster, so they had to retain the friendship.
“A great hand of cards has been broken!”
The web dev coach shook hands with senior Ah Ning and smiled bitterly. “I thought we could have steadily made the next round, but we didn’t expect this! I should have noticed the signs earlier, this loss is on !”
“The signs” obviously referred to no.3’s arrogance and unwillingness to cooperate.
Then senior Ah Ning set him straight. “Even if you discovered it sooner, it would be useless. If you can’t serve the people, they won’t listen to you. If you toss that no.3 into the varsity team, he is guaranteed to behave.”
“Do you have to be so heart-shattering?” The web dev coach said as he clutched his chest.
Senior Ah Ning bellowed like Zhang Fei.
What could the web dev coach do? He wasn’t even confident in his retort abilities. “I would like to see how the photography departnt blows you up tonight!”
“You’re good at most things, but you suck at picking out people!”
Senior Ah Ning gave another scathing burn and went to shake hands with the other team mbers as he encouraged them. He then leads the animation departnt’s team as they withdrew from the court.
The academy’s basketball tournant schedule was very tight. There were two more gas happening on the court they were on. If they fully occupied all the other basketball courts, the elimination rounds would finish if the gas comnce from tonight until the next morning.
The elimination rounds between the dia and animation faculty were between the photography departnt and the animation departnt at 7:00 pm.
The ti was rushed, but to be honest, a level 2 school competition was not very strong, and the energy consumption was not large either. Three or four hours of rest was just enough ti to make up their stamina.
The other mbers might have had a hard ti with this, but ng Fan had nothing to say. He didn’t even get to warm up in the afternoon ga, let alone play.
“Tonight’s tournant will be hard.”
When they returned to the temporary classroom, senior Ah Ning tossed out a few mats and told all five mbers to lay flat on it. The five players obediently laid down and spread their limbs like an octopus, and one on one began their relaxation massage.
“The machine carriers are a traditionally strong team. Last year, they made the top 4 in the academy. Based on technique alone, they are weaker than the web dev departnt’s team. However, they are individually very tall and very strong. And they don’t have a “star player” like the web dev team. They are very united. So for tonight’s ga, we should… Heh, where’s ng Fan?”
It wasn’t until five minutes before the kick-off that senior Ah Ning saw ng Fan slowly lumbering over.
“Where did you go? Why didn’t you answer your phone? What were you doing?”
Senior Ah Ning, holding the clipboard hit him with a 3x combo.
“I went back to draw.” ng Fan said calmly, “I didn’t play in the afternoon, so I didn’t need the rest or the massage and whatnot. I don’t understand the tactics either, so I left.”
Senior Ah Ning thought about it and felt it was a reasonable excuse. He then left him be, cautioning his team to be aware before returning to the stool that soone had brought for him.
Warming up before the ga, the machine carriers… heh. The photography departnt’s team was already in place. Looking at them, the average height was about 180 cm, which was by far one of the highest throughout the academy. Each player was thick and built, but overall more rough compared to most of the boys from the art academy. Only the muscular heroes from the sculpture departnt can stand a chance against them.
Senior Ah Ning noticed ng Fan had found a stool from sowhere and was lounging in it like a mob boss. He picked up his stool and shuffled over, pressing his voice. “You must always be prepared. I was able to deal with the web dev team, but the photography departnt is a bit different; there’s no point to the target. If the score falls behind more than 10 points, you will have to play.”
ng Fan nodded.
However, sothing occurred that senior Ah Ning didn’t even predict. In less than 10 minutes, the score wasn’t at a 10 point lead yet, but a mber from the animation departnt had twisted his ankle and was unable to play.
As the only substitute, ng Fan could only fill in.
It seed their secret trump card was no longer a secret.
When ng Fan stepped onto the court, the entire photography departnt turned their heads toward him.
“The iron hero is really on the animation departnt’s basketball team!”
“Everyone be careful, this master has insane accuracy!”
“I know, who hasn’t seen his stream?!”
“Defend him!”
“Has anyone seen him play basketball? Does he know how to play offense? This figure… There’s nobody on our team who can take a hit right?”
He was really impossible to hide. At least, not as easy senior Ah Ning had thought. Although no other faculty mbers have seen ng Fan cast a shot on a normal basketball court, everyone knew of his overpowered shooting abilities.
If he was a god at shooting machines, he must also be godly at shooting real basketballs. This was the logic of the majority, anyways. Only a select few ‘intellectuals’ thought that ng Fan wouldn’t be able to score.
Even after he appeared, the opposition had determined that ng Fan sat out last ga because he was the trump card that senior Ah Ning had prepared.
Only, they didn’t know just how accurate he could be.
But that didn’t prevent them from putting all their defenses on ng Fan.
“Iron bro.”
The red-haired youth took the ball and tried to shoot it before handing it off to ng Fan.
Imdiately, two players from the photography departnt closed in on ng Fan.
Try to shoot?
Impossible.
ng Fan’s hand trembled as he passed the ball to no.8, who had no defense on him. His positioning was ideal.
With his 14 precision, his passes were accurate as well. The ball traveled like soone had delivered it straight from ng Fan to No.8’s hands. It was almost too comfortable.
“Why did you pass it to ?”
“Seems like a good shot.”
“Score one.”
No. 8 effortlessly scored two points.
“He knows how to pass?”
Senior Ah Ning looked like he just discovered Arica.
Then, ng Fan verified his thoughts.
Twice in a row, ng Fan passed the ball to soone who was open while he was being blocked by two giants from the photography departnt. Both tis the ball traveled flawlessly into the desired targets’ hands regardless of what angle it was thrown from. It was so comfortable to receive that it made scoring easier.
This happened three more tis. The photography departnt’s team was stunned. “Does this guy only know how to pass?”
“But he was so clean at scoring baskets on the machine.”
They began to doubt their existence.
At the end of the first half, ng Fan did not score any points. As long as he received the ball, he would pass it on.
His throwing precision had improved, and he had better observational skills as well. ng Fan was accurate at finding an open target, and his passes were comfortable. Everyone on the team including the red-haired youth all got “served” by ng Fan at least once.
These four played basketball often, but they’ve never received the ball in such a clean manner. They all looked like they had just won the lottery. The way they looked at ng Fan was even different.
A real boss!
He was incredible at scoring but still gave them the opportunity to show off themselves. You don’t need too many of these types of teammates. One was enough!
During intermission, senior Ah Ning was a bit curious. “Why don’t you score?”
“Didn’t you say I’m the trump card?” ng Fan responded.
In fact, ng Fan did not feel anything new from shooting. It would go in no matter how he shot it. As long as they could win the ga, he was definitely going to find so ways to make this interesting.
Serving people ‘warmth’ was way more interesting than scoring points himself.
