Chapter 430: Really Awesome
Tianjing City, Qingkai Hotel.
A middle-aged man wearing a casual suit was watching the live broadcast of Wanhao vs Flying Bull together with more than 20 people. This middle-aged man was called Kang Xingyan, the coach of one of the top eight basketball teams in Heavenly State, Longbian basketball team!
“Coach,” During the half-time break, a member of the team whispered, “The Flying Bulls are unimaginably weak, is there a point for us to watch Wanhao’s single-sided performance? I feel that it’d be more practical to take this time to train for a while more.”
“A beard lathered is half shaved,” Kang Xingyan slowly said, “Though Flying Bull basketball team is under Young Master Hong Dali, basketball is not related to luck. It’s normal if they lose, we don’t need to care about win or loss in the competition today. Our main focus today is to figure out the respective abilities of the Wanhao team members. Everyone, look carefully, Wanhao basketball team’s shooting accuracy is rather high.”
“Alright, alright.” Everyone was rather listless. “A competition of bullying little kids… It’s fine to treat it as entertainment.”
Very soon, the second half of the round started.
“Everyone, pay more attention to the habits of the various Wanhao players.” Kang Xingyan slowly said, “More often than not, the lousier the opponent is, the more it would make people careless. In that case, they’d expose many of their hidden flaws. And our target is to… find all these.”
Speaking up to this point, Wanhao Team’s Power Forward missed a shot, and Kang Xingyan fiercely shouted, “A rebound! Everyone, pay attention…”
Unexpectedly, just as he said this halfway, a strange scene happened…
The 2.3 meters tall Wanhao’s Center Fielder had evidently planned to compete against the Center Fielder of Flying Bull, Xiao Dao. It was a basketball competition; thus, it was very normal to have a reasonable collision. But the problem now was that, the process was very normal, but the result was extremely abnormal—Wanhao’s Center Fielder literally bumped into Flying Bull’s Xiao Dao on purpose, then everyone saw that Wanhao’s Center Fielder flying back with a speed faster than when he dashed forward, flying for a full three meters before finally falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, Xiao Dao held the ball and landed on the ground stably without looking the least bit hurt!
“This… This…” Kang Xingyan stared in bewilderment. “Quickly hit me, I’m not dreaming, am I? A 1.9 meters tall person bumped and sent a 2.3 meters tall person flying?!”
1.9 meters tall person bumping into and sending a 2.3 meters tall person flying—theoretically speaking… this couldn’t be explained no matter what!
With such a scene happening during the competition, not only was Kang Xingyan’s side stunned, all the spectators present and even Xiao Dao himself were stunned! This had totally exceeded everyone’s imagination—a 2.3 meters tall person didn’t manage to win in colliding with a 1.9 meters tall person?!
On the audience seats, the audience whispered among each other. “Hey, I haven’t seen it wrongly just now, right? What exactly happened?” “I didn’t see it clearly too, I just know that Wanhao’s Center Fielder was bumped and sent flying away.” “Right, but the problem is, who exactly was the one who bumped into the other party first? Why do I feel that it was Wanhao’s Center Fielder who bumped into the other person first?”
Xiao Dao was holding the ball with an expression full of disbelief. He only felt that his entire state was extremely impressive, and he had a lot of strength, and even the movements of the other party were as slow as a tortoise in his eyes. But the problem was, he wasn’t sure why it had become like this.
Beep—!!!
Just then, the referee finally blew the whistle, then he raised his hand and said, “Problem discovered, request for the slow-motion replay!”
A 2.3 meters tall person didn’t win in the collision with a 1.9 meters person, even a fool would be able to sense that something was wrong, and the referee was naturally not an exception. But he didn’t dare to directly announce that Xiao Dao had committed a foul. After all, Hong Dali was backing Xiao Dao. Win or loss still didn’t matter much for normal competitions, but he’d definitely be seeking his own death if he made a bad call—Hong Dali had even bought over this stadium already, a small referee like him was totally not his match…
Thus, there was a slow-motion replay. This time, everyone saw it clearly. Xiao Dao was only doing a normal defensive rebound, and Wanhao’s Center Fielder clearly bumped into him on purpose, then he flew back extremely strangely—that fellow now was still lying on the ground and rubbing his backside…
After watching the slow-motion replay, everyone was completely stunned.
It would still be reasonable if it was said that they’d seen it wrongly previously, but now—this surreal scene had really happened before their eyes; thus, whoever saw it would be unable to believe it. But it just had to be that the truth was in front of their eyes, and they had to believe it.
Wanhao basketball team’s members were stunned on the spot for a full 30 seconds before Wanhao’s coach shouted piercingly loud, “They’re cheating! This is cheating! I request for a drug test!”
Upon hearing this, the spectators couldn’t stand it anymore. “Are you sick in the head? Look at the difference in heights, what use would a drug test have? You can’t afford to lose?!” “That’s right, a drug test? The shortest one on the other side is only 1.7 meters tall, what use would it have even if they took stimulants? Doping would allow them to be super amazing?!”
Meanwhile, Xiao Dao and the others were rather anxious. After all, their physical states had improved by quite a lot all of a sudden. They didn’t really understand this themselves as well. Then, Xiao Dao decisively threw away the basketball. “We’ll do it!” At this point, they had to cooperate. It was a small thing if they lost, but it’d be most troublesome if they were suspected to have taken stimulants and thus cause Young Master’s name to be smeared.
A drug test was the biggest news in the sports industry. Especially during this type of competition which was broadcasted live on sports channels in the whole nation, no mistakes would be allowed to be made. Thus, very soon, the instrument to test for drugs was pushed out. Xiao Dao and the others carefully recalled what they’d eaten today—there wasn’t anything abnormal—and their mental state was also fine. Thus, they decisively stretched their hands out and let the working personnel draw their blood.
All the spectators held their breath, waiting for the final results to appear.
In Qingkai Hotel, Kang Xingyan was completely silent as he stared intently at the screen. All the members around didn’t dare to say that this competition was of adults bullying little kids anymore. To look at it now, it should be little kids bullying adults…
Usually speaking, the drug test would take 24 hours before a result was obtained. But today, the situation was special, and everyone was looking. Thus, there couldn’t be any mistakes. The staff in charge of doing the testing put Xiao Dao’s blood sample into the instrument and carried out the testing. Very soon, the light of the instrument lit up—No stimulants detected!
Xiao Dao didn’t have drugs in his body!
Everyone present stood up and gave Xiao Dao and the others an extremely loud round of applause! There were even a few who shouted loudly every now and then, “Good job! I support you!” “Hahaha, looks like this is real ability! It’s ability!”
Tang Muxin, sitting in front of the television screen, also excitedly jumped up and smiled. “I knew it! Why would Brother Xiao Dao and the rest use stimulants! Hee hee, they’re really great. Dali, you have such good taste!”
Probably only Hong Dali, among everyone, knew what exactly had happened. This fellow continued to lay on Li Nianwei’s lap and humphed. “Of course. How is it possible that the people I find would use drugs…”
Very soon, Xiao Dao and the others had all finished testing, and they didn’t have any stimulant drugs in their bodies as well.
The entire scene went into an uproar.
The 1.9 meters tall person didn’t use stimulant drugs to send the 2.3 meters tall person flying from a bump during the rebound recovery—such a scene really made people’s hearts be set on fire just by thinking of it! The audience shouted loudly together: “Reasonable collision! Reasonable collision!”
Or else, why would it be said that the Heavenly State people liked to watch the fun. They just liked to watch a 1.9 meters tall person bumping into and sending a 2.3 meters tall person flying. It was so exhilarating just by watching it…
Shiroishi Kazuma, in Shanghai Tianhai, stared with wide eyes almost to the point his eyeballs were going to be glued to the television screen. Qian Youjin at a side had his mouth so wide open that his chin almost fell to the floor. “This… This is impossible, right? This is definitely fake! It’s fake! Are they filming a movie?!”
And then, it made everyone understand what was called seeking one’s own death by acting fancy…
Wanhao’s Center Fielder didn’t believe it and went forward to knock into Xiao Dao again—and then flew away. The Power Forward went to find trouble with Big Fei, legitimating his nickname of Big Fei 1 for the first time in so many years—Wanhao’s Power Forward really flew up… The Small Forward went to knock into Second Mao Zi… Alas, he fell till a large part of his eyebrows came off. The Shooting Guard refused to give in and knocked into Third Pang Zi… Sadly, this fellow was very tragic, because Third Pang Zi’s flesh was too thick, causing him to fly very far away…
The most tragic one was the Point Guard. This fellow had bulging muscles, and upon seeing that his four teammates had all flown out, he was initially still a little skeptical, uncertain about whether he should go and give it a try too. Then, he saw that extremely frivolous gaze of Fourth De Zi—Fourth De Zi even licked his lips and gleefully glanced at his crotch…
What the heck, I definitely can’t take this lying down! Thus, Wanhao’s Point Guard launched a deadly strike towards Fourth De Zi. Fourth De Zi felt very evidently instantly that he had explosive energy in him, and his strength could break through the heavens. However, after all, due to his physique being too small, his area of defense was sufficient—this fellow didn’t move, and only aimed his shoulder at Wanhao’s Point Guard.
Thus, a tragedy happened…
Wanhao’s Point Guard was like a madly speeding bull knocking into a tank, and he was hit till there was blood all over—his body did various fancy turns in the air, and blood spots were all over the ground. His teeth and the blood danced around together in the air, mixing together with each other, while his sweat and urine also mixed as one…
It could be said that such a scene had never happened before in the entire basketball history of Heavenly State. A group of short and lousy amateur basketball players knocked violently and chaotically with the tall and big professional basketball players like tanks, and they were extremely arrogant and aggressive as they collided into others throughout their way. The audience at the scene had even forgotten to cheer, especially since this group of people was extremely agile and fast. Wanhao basketball team, who hurriedly switched their members with the reserves, could be said to have been defeated like a collapsing mountain. This time, Flying Bull basketball team could be said to have really flown up—and their name, Flying Bulls, was really awesome…
More often than not, once the ball had been passed to the hands of the Wanhao players, it would disappear, and after they’d reacted to it, it’d already been thrown into the net by the other party.
The most infuriating one was Fourth De Zi. A 1.72 meters little fella actually dunked from the three-point line. Of course, he didn’t manage to score a goal!
