"Stop standing there in a daze. Since Vice Minister Chu is kind enough to co and guide you in basketball skills, you should be modest and learn well from him. Pan Changqing, you co down, and I'll go up to have a match with Vice Minister Chu."
As everyone was involuntarily recalling that super block, Chen Lei stood up, twisted his neck, and a series of "crack-crack" sounds echoed in the air.
"Vice Minister Chu, this ti I'll let my staff step down. Why don't you avoid getting involved?"
Chu Ge smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Since he had already stepped over Pan Changqing for Lu Gang and blocked Pan Changqing for Ji Songtao and Feifei, he was not bothered to continue dealing with soone like Pan Changqing.
When Chen Lei walked onto the court, the Marketing Departnt players were initially stunned, but then the anxiety on their faces gradually relaxed, and their eyes regained a confident sparkle, filling their hearts with newfound confidence.
Everyone present had practically played basketball with Chen Lei before and were thoroughly impressed by his basketball skills and physical abilities. Given that he was stepping onto the court, there was no doubt left about the outco of this ga.
After all, unlike these amateur players, Chen Lei had been a sports student in college, the main forward, and the captain of the school's basketball team. He had led his team to quite impressive achievents in school-level tournants.
Moreover, after graduation, Chen Lei never gave up basketball despite his work commitnts. He used almost all his spare ti for basketball, and his skills had only improved since his college days!
Of course, these are just one aspect. More importantly, it's the aura Chen Lei brings. They believe that the upcoming ga would return to being a genuine basketball match. No matter how arrogant Chu Ge might be, once his confrontation with Pan Changqing was settled, he would not go overboard again.
Originally, Chen Lei had no plans to play. In his view, with his level of basketball skills, he should only appear in the final match, where he could amaze the crowd and lead the Marketing Departnt to a splendid victory.
However, at this mont, because of Chu Ge's presence, he had no choice but to play.
When Chu Ge gave Pan Changqing a big block, others noticed Chu Ge's dominance and ruthlessness, but to Chen Lei, it revealed a completely different scene.
The speed, prediction ability, jumping ability, and even strength that Chu Ge demonstrated during his previous dunk seed to match Chen Lei's own!
And that three-point shot Chu Ge made without a doubt proved his accuracy. Although there wasn't any defense at that mont, just seeing Chu Ge's calm and confident expression made Chen Lei take notice.
As the saying goes, "An incompetent soldier affects a whole battalion." With Chu Ge on the Operation Managent Departnt team, without a doubt, it's a completely different team!
Therefore, to secure the Marketing Departnt's championship in the film company's et, even if it did seem like overkill, Chen Lei had no choice but to step in.
Glancing at the referee who had been waiting a long ti and looked quite conflicted, Chen Lei nodded, "Let's continue the ga."
The whistle blew again, and the Marketing Departnt started the play.
To boost the Marketing Departnt's morale and to intimidate the Operation Managent Departnt, especially Chu Ge,
Chen Lei stood right next to Chu Ge, using his strong physique to firmly block Chu Ge's position.
He wanted to prove that he was the true king of this court, and even if Chu Ge was playing, he was nothing in front of him and could definitely not change the fate of the Operation Managent Departnt's defeat!
Without needing Chen Lei to say anything, the Marketing Departnt player imdiately passed the ball to him.
As the player raised his hand to throw the ball, Chu Ge suddenly moved, stepping diagonally forward to the left.
Chen Lei smirked and shifted his steps accordingly, preparing to continue blocking Chu Ge's position. He thought to himself, "Trying to intercept the ball from ? Dream on!"
However, just as this thought crossed Chen Lei's mind, and the player was passing the basketball to him, Chu Ge, who had been standing still, suddenly spun his right foot on the floor.
Imdiately, his body moved like a willow leaf dancing in the wind, with a unique rhythm of strength and softness, spinning 270 degrees in the opposite direction of Chen Lei's defense. Before Chen Lei could react, Chu Ge caught the passing ball with one hand and ran toward the Marketing Departnt's half of the court.
The entire set of movents was completed in re fractions of a second, without the slightest delay, like flowing water, as if that Marketing Departnt player intended to pass the ball to Chu Ge.
Watching Chu Ge's back swiftly distance himself, Chen Lei's pupils suddenly contracted, feeling a mixture of shock and frustration from the bottom of his heart.
However, now was obviously not the ti to dwell on these thoughts. He quickly snapped back to his senses, stretched his long legs, and imdiately chased after Chu Ge.
No matter what, Chu Ge must not be allowed to score at this mont! He had to get the ball back!
He was here to give Chu Ge a hard ti. If Chu Ge managed to intercept the ball from him and even score under his nose, it would be as if Chu Ge were giving him a hard ti!
One has to admit, besides being tall with long legs, Chen Lei's explosiveness was quite remarkable. In just a few strides, he caught up with Chu Ge, who was dribbling, and positioned himself for defense, ready to reclaim the ball.
Whether on the court or off it, all the fervent gazes converged on Chu Ge and Chen Lei, with everyone eagerly awaiting to witness who among them was truly superior!
Finally blocking Chu Ge's path, Chen Lei seed like a fierce tiger in the way, clenched his large outstretched hands, and grinned, "Co on? Let see what you've got!"
Chu Ge smiled slightly, "Alright, Minister Chen, make sure you watch closely."
Chen Lei's attention was intensely focused, his eyes tightly fixed on the basketball rising and falling in Chu Ge's hands.
However, just as Chen Lei was about to steal the ball, Chu Ge suddenly waved his hand and unexpectedly passed the ball to the undefended Lu Gang.
With a swish, Lu Gang made a three-step layup, adding two more points for the Operation Managent Departnt!
Watching Chu Ge cast a look of approval at Lu Gang, the corners of Chen Lei's mouth and eyes twitched. He couldn't believe it even in his dreams; Chu Ge voluntarily gave up the chance to compete with him? He chose to pass?
"Are you scared?"
Chu Ge responded with a noncommittal smile to Chen Lei, then raised his hand to give a high-five to Lu Gang, who ran up to him, offering encouragent he hadn't given before.
In fact, not only Chen Lei, but most people on and off the court never expected Chu Ge to pass the ball at that mont, which was practically a sign of weakness towards Chen Lei!
The entire marketing departnt felt awkward, and the cheers they had prepared for Chen Lei got stuck in their throats, leaving the stands in silence.
In the following match, no one played any more dirty tricks; it was all genuine skill, and the ga entered a fiercely competitive phase.
Both the Operation Managent Departnt and the Marketing Departnt scored points, going back and forth, with the score remaining tightly contested.
No one felt more frustrated than Chen Lei. He always wanted to have a fair competition in skills with Chu Ge, but Chu Ge never had that intention, which made him increasingly anxious and angry as the ga progressed!
This feeling was like having strength all over but nowhere to apply it!
As ti passed by the second, when the final whistle blew, everyone in the Marketing Departnt fell silent, utterly silent due to the final score.
Seventy-one to seventy, the Operation Managent Departnt won.
Even though the result was plainly there, everyone in the Marketing Departnt felt like they were dreaming.
Did they lose?
Lost to the Operation Managent Departnt with only three n?
And lost even with Chen Lei on the court, with everyone giving it their all?
Not only was it unbelievable for everyone in the Marketing Departnt, but even the referee and everyone else in the Operation Managent Departnt except for Chu Ge found it hard to believe.
When Chu Ge called out to the seemingly dazed Operation Managent Departnt team, who had forgotten to celebrate, and led them out of the stadium, Chen Lei finally accepted the reality. He turned his head, looking at the doorway the Operation Managent team left through, clenched his fists tightly, and then let out a deep sigh.
Only then, looking back on the match, did Chen Lei finally realize where he lost. Unfortunately, it was a bit late to think of it now.
He had positioned himself as a savior, only wanting to prove he was the strongest on the field, wanting to score alone, outshining Chu Ge, constantly demanding his teammates pass the ball to him.
anwhile, Chu Ge constantly engaged in seamless team play, delivering one beautiful assist after another, passing the ball to teammates when the opportunity wasn't particularly good, instead of trying to steal the show himself.
That's the difference, maybe not in skill, but in a more fatal sense, a gap in mindset.
Back in the Operation Managent Departnt office, Ji Songtao and the others finally snapped out of their almost dreamlike state. Despite the exhaustion from the match, everyone's spirits were incredibly high, continuously recounting the ga just played.
Only Chu Ge, wearing his signature smile, quietly sat back in his seat, not making a big deal of the victory.
In the office, as everyone chatted lively, all eyes gradually turned to Chu Ge.
Because everyone knew very well that if it weren't for Chu Ge's participation, defeating the Marketing Departnt would have been impossible.
Although Chu Ge didn't score as much as Lu Gang and Ji Songtao, he delivered beautiful assists that left the Marketing Departnt defenseless. He was like a daring and wise general, enabling them to create miracles and remain invincible!
