Chapter 59: Ultra-Long Distance Three-Pointer

  On Monday morning, Zhang Wen Zhong drove Yu Jia's BMW 7 series to Yongcheng University. After parking the car in the parking lot outside the university gate, he carried two bottles of Wuliangye and walked into Yongcheng University.

  These two bottles of Wuliangye were bought by Lin Zicong the day before yesterday, and he wanted to give them to his father as a gift. However, at that time, Zhang Wenzhong had kindly exchanged these two bottles of Wuliangye for self-brewed medicinal wine that was very beneficial to the elderly's health. Today, he took these two bottles of Wuliangye to work just to return them to Lin Zicong.

  He won't take advantage of others.

  Just as Zhang Wenzhong was walking past the basketball court, a basketball rolled to his feet and almost tripped him up.

  "Hey, buddy, help me toss the basketball over for a second." A familiar voice came from inside the basketball court.

  Zhang Wenzhong looked up and found that the person who was speaking was indeed someone he knew. It was Wang Xiao, who had suspected that he had contracted a sexually transmitted disease and had secretly come to him for treatment.

  At this time, Wang Xiao was wearing a red Houston Rockets jersey, with sweat all over his head and body, obviously having been practicing on the basketball court for some time.

  "Your name is... Wang Xiao, right?" Zhang Wen Zhong stopped in his tracks and smiled as he nodded in greeting.

  "Hey, it's Brother Zhang! You're here really early. It's still about an hour and a half before you guys start work, right?" Wang Xiao also recognized Zhang Wen Zhong at this time, and after exchanging greetings with him, he pointed to the basketball that had rolled to Zhang Wen Zhong's feet and said: "Brother Zhang, would you mind throwing me that ball?"

  "How come you're here playing basketball so early?" Zhang Wenzhong asked afterwards, bending down and easily picking up the basketball on the ground with his left hand. After last night's external washing and internal dressing, as well as practicing medical Qigong, Zhang Wenzhong's hands, which were originally not seriously injured, had fully recovered. On these clean and shiny hands, there was no sign of any injury.

  "Isn't it all because of this terrible weather?" Wang Xiao sighed and said with a mix of complaint and helplessness: "This weather is simply unbearable, I've been tossing and turning all night, and no matter what, I couldn't fall asleep. Seeing that the sky was already bright, I called up a few buddies who were also woken up by the heat, to get up early and play some basketball, exercise our bodies, and then take a cold shower later, it should feel much more comfortable."

  "Hey, Zhang, since you've still got over an hour before work, why don't you come join us? You're always sitting around, it's about time you get some exercise."

  "It's still not possible, I won't play basketball." Zhang Wenzhong smiled and shook his head in refusal, narrowing his eyes as he glanced at the distant hoop. He then raised his left hand, and with a slight flick of his wrist, unconsciously used the technique for throwing hidden projectiles to shoot the ball towards the hoop.

  Watching Zhang Wen-zhong's one-handed shooting posture, Wang Xiao believed his claim that he couldn't play basketball, because his shooting posture was really not standard at all, it was simply a rookie who had never played basketball before.

  The distance between where Zhang Wen-zhong is standing now and the basket, is as far as a basketball court. If he can still make it in with a one-handed shot from such a distance, that would be truly unbelievable.

  Wang Xiao originally wanted to mock Zhang Wenzhong, but because Zhang Wenzhong had a hold on him, he didn't dare say the mocking words out loud and only snickered to himself for two sentences.

  "Thanks, Zhang Ge." Wang Xiao thanked him politely and was about to turn around to pick up the ball. However, before he could even turn his body, a crisp and clear "bang" sound came from behind him.

  The crisp sound was so familiar and pleasant that he had heard countless similar sounds before - it was the sound of a basketball going into the hoop.

  "What?!" Wang Xiao was startled and quickly turned around.

  But after he turned around, all he saw was the basketball bouncing incessantly under the basket.

  "What just happened?" Wang Xiao hurriedly asked her companions who had witnessed the previous scene on the court.

  "Am I seeing things? From a distance as far as a basketball court, he made a one-handed shot and it actually went in..."

  "Whoa! Long shot, this is a real long shot!"

  "Hey Wang Xiao, who was that guy just now? Such an excellent three-point shooter, I have no reason not to know his name, is he a new student who just entered school?"

  Wang Xiao's companions, all of whom were his school team members, had just witnessed the astonishing scene and now they were all agape, exclaiming in shock. Even at this moment, they still doubted their own eyes, wondering if they had seen it wrong earlier.

  "He is our school's doctor..."

  "School doctor? My god, when did the school doctor become so accurate with his three-pointers? And it's even from a super far distance! Awesome! He's really awesome!" Wang Xiao's companion first sighed in admiration for two sentences, then curiously asked: "Hey Wang Xiao, since he is the school doctor, how do you know him? Ah ha, won't tell me... that you have some unspeakable secret and had gone to find him before?"

  "What's really going on that you can't say? Is it the kind of unspoken secret that's 'soft but not hard, hard but not strong, strong but not firm, firm but not tough, tough but not entering, entering but not shooting, shooting but not fertile'? Haha. I didn't expect our robust and healthy Captain Wang to have such a problem."

  "Damn it! Don't slander me! With a body as strong as mine, how could I possibly have such secrets? I just... Ah, right, I just ate something wrong last week and had diarrhea, so I went to the school hospital for some anti-diarrheal medicine, and that's how I met Zhang Ge." A faint flush suddenly appeared on Wang Xiaodong's dark face, and in order not to let his companions notice, he hastily changed the subject, saying: "What a coincidence! I'm telling you, that ball just now was definitely just a coincidence. You all heard it, Zhang Ge himself said earlier that he can't play basketball, so the ball he made just now was absolutely a coincidence, a fluke."

  "Hey, Zhang Ge, was that shot you made just now a bluff?" Wang Xiao turned around to ask, but when he turned around, he found that Zhang Wen had already walked away with the two bottles of Wuliangye, leaving only his back in sight.

  "Come on, Wang Xiao, let's play another game." His teammate shouted at him while hugging the basketball.

  "Alright, I'll be right there." Wang Xiao responded casually, before re-entering the court. He took a last curious glance at Zhang Wen's back, and silently wondered to himself: "Was that goal just a coincidence?" He shook his head, putting the thought aside, and turned to rejoin the game, continuing to play basketball with his companions under the scorching sun.
