Chapter 83: The National Middle School Basketball Selection Tournament (4) - Narrow Road to Rivals 2

  The fat defender continued to dribble past the front court, and the recent turnover made the fat man feel that his face was lost. A substitute who had just come on actually cut off the ball from his own hands and even ran into his own backcourt for a beautiful dunk. The fat man thought about it in his heart and felt very angry. Dunking is something that he has always been unable to do, and such a high-difficulty move was performed by an opponent's substitute in front of him, making the fat man feel like this substitute had slapped himself in the face. The fat man decided to give this damn substitute some color to see, let him know his own strength!

  The fat man handed the ball to his teammate standing outside the three-point line, then immediately ran out of the three-second zone and asked for a position. Lin Xiaoyu stuck tightly to the fat man's back, not letting him easily squeeze into the basket to score.

  Fat boy leaned against Lin Xiaoyu, then received a pass from his teammate. Fat boy backed up against Lin Xiaoyu like a center back and carried Lin Xiaoyu for several times, trying to squeeze into the basket with his own strength. However, Lin Xiaoyu, who looked thinner than Fat Boy by one circle, had a power that was not inferior to Fat Boy's. After Fat Boy collided with Lin Xiaoyu several times, he could only move half a step forward. Lin Xiaoyu resisted Fat Boy's powerful impact with all his might, this trick used to bully the thin and small Lin Xiaoyu in the past, but now it has no effect on the grown-up Lin Xiaoyu.

  The fat man suddenly turned around with the ball in his hands after a few rounds, and then he used his elbow to heavily hit Lin Xiaoyu's chest. Lin Xiaoyu was caught off guard by this move and was elbowed on her left chest, causing her breathing to stagnate for an instant, rendering her unable to exert any strength. The fat man took advantage of Lin Xiaoyu's momentary weakness and quickly made a hook shot. After scoring with the basketball board, he looked at Lin Xiaoyu with satisfaction, then slowly ran back to his own backcourt.

  Lin Xiaoyu rubbed her chest which was aching from the collision and slowly caught the basketball thrown by her teammate from the baseline.

  Lin Xiaoyu was dribbling the ball at the top of the three-point line, and the fat guy tried to come up and snatch the basketball from Lin Xiaoyu's hands several times but returned without success. Lin Xiaoyu's dribbling was really too skilled, and the basketball seemed to be sucked onto her hand. Every time the fat guy wanted to stretch out his hand to grab the ball that had just bounced off the ground, Lin Xiaoyu's hand would easily move the ball away, leaving the fat guy empty-handed every time.

  Lin Xiaoyu suddenly turned around and leaned against Pangzi, attacking Pangzi with the same method that Pangzi had used earlier. Lin Xiaoyu, who was thinner than Pangzi by a circle, had strength that was not inferior to Pangzi's. As Lin Xiaoyu exerted force to carry the ball on his back, he slowly pushed against Pangzi and carried the ball to the three-second zone outside the left basket. Pangzi, facing this substitute who suddenly learned his own attacking method and used it against him, seemed a bit unable to adapt, and could only hold his ground against his opponent, secretly lamenting that this guy, who was thinner than himself, had such great strength.

  Lin Xiaoyu suddenly turned around and used her elbow to hit the fat man's chest. Lin Xiaoyu still held back, not wanting to make a big move that would be seen by the referee, so she controlled herself as she turned around and elbowed the fat man. Even so, Lin Xiaoyu's elbow made the fat man's face contort in pain.

  Lin Xiaoyu turned sideways to face the basket, and immediately raised the ball above her head, shooting in a smooth motion. The fat man was elbowed by Lin Xiaoyu and appeared extremely angry, seeing Lin Xiaoyu about to shoot in front of him, he quickly jumped up to block the shot. However, when this fat man jumped up, he found that the basketball in Lin Xiaoyu's hand had not been thrown into the basket, but was still steadily suspended in Lin Xiaoyu's hand.

  "Fake action." By the time Fatty realized this, his feet had already left the ground. Although Fatty's jump was limited in height, Lin Xiaoyu had completed the actual shot before Fatty landed.

  "Beep!" The referee's whistle sounded at the moment Lin Xiaoyu made his move. Because when Lin Xiaoyu shot, Pangzi's falling body had contact with Lin Xiaoyu's jumping shooting body, the referee judged that this ball was a foul by Pangzi.

  Lin Xiaoyu's shot drew a high arc and fell empty into the frame. The moment the basketball excited the net, cheers erupted from the experimental middle school players' seats on the sidelines, almost drowning out the sound of the ball going through the hoop.

  Lin Xiaoyu ignored the fat man's furious gaze that was about to spit out fire and calmly made the penalty shot.

  The fat man, who had been provoked by Lin Xiaoyu to extreme anger, began to attack Lin Xiaoyu even more brutally. Carrying the ball, the fat man desperately collided with Lin Xiaoyu and rushed towards the basket. Lin Xiaoyu knew that the referee, who was biased towards his opponent, would not call a foul on this fat man's obviously aggressive play. Lin Xiaoyu could only use his body to tightly defend against the fat man's brutal attack. The fat man swung his elbow at Lin Xiaoyu again, but this time it was clearly aimed at Lin Xiaoyu's face, not his chest. The referee ignored the fat man's dangerous action, and the black whistle remained silent in his mouth.

  Lin Xiaoyu had already experienced the fat man's sinister tricks, so he was on guard against the fat man's small movements. When the fat man's elbow swung towards his face, Lin Xiaoyu had already moved his face back and dodged the fat man's vicious trick. However, Lin Xiaoyu's dodge gave the fat man space to shoot. The fat man, who rarely found shooting space under Lin Xiaoyu's tight defense, immediately took advantage of the opportunity to throw the basketball in his hand.

  When the fat man had just flicked out the basketball in his hand, a shadow fell on the fat man's raised face. The fat man clearly saw a high-flying palm in the air flapping the basketball he had just thrown over his head like playing volleyball.

  "Bang!" The loud noise from the palm and basketball colliding was like a basin of ice water poured over Fatso's heart, making him feel a chill in his hands and feet.

  Lin Xiaoyu is not a person who likes to compete with others, even if the fat guy in front of him makes Lin Xiaoyu very hateful. However, on the court, Lin Xiaoyu still reasonably controls the ball. As someone who loves basketball, Lin Xiaoyu knows that the game is not just about one person, so he no longer tries to dribble past the fat guy who has already been humiliated by him, but instead promptly and accurately passes the ball to a teammate with better opportunities.

  As Zhang Jialin habitually raised his right hand to celebrate while running back on defense after making two consecutive three-pointers from Lin Xiaoyu's pass, the Experimental Middle School basketball team had narrowed the score to only a two-point difference. With the opponent's hasty long shot missing and the halftime buzzer sounding at this moment.

  That fat guy glared at Lin Xiaoyu fiercely when he came off the court, if his gaze could turn into a physical object, Lin Xiaoyu would definitely be torn apart by this fat guy's fierce gaze. Because it was precisely because of Lin Xiaoyu's substitution that this fat guy spent the last five minutes of the first half like being in a nightmare, not a nightmare, but a truly cruel experience. Consecutive goals were scored by opponents, and the opportunities for those scoring hands were provided by their own defensive substitute, which couldn't help but make the fat guy feel that each goal was like a whip lash on his body, making him uncomfortable. He couldn't defend against this substitute, and he was repeatedly frustrated in offense, the fat guy would think of being capped twice in a row by this substitute, and always felt a chill on his back...

  Lin Xiaoyu didn't care about the fat guy staring at her intensely, and she felt great after venting out some bad air. The dunk she had just made was Lin Xiaoyu's first in an official match, and it was even more satisfying because it was right in front of that annoying fat guy. Lin Xiaoyu thought the feeling of hanging from the rim was amazing. As she listened to the applause from the crowd on the court, she felt like she was floating on air, as if she were walking on clouds. When Lin Xiaoyu recalled the fat guy's stunned expression after seeing her dunk, she felt an overwhelming urge to burst out laughing. Looking at the fat guy sitting on the bench with his head hung low, looking like a defeated dog, Lin Xiaoyu really wanted to tell him that the humiliation in the first half was only just beginning...
