Bang!
On the court, Ji Liangchuan, sandwiched between Wu Zhaoyang and Lan Yong, lost the ball once again.
"You lost, Ji Liangchuan," Lan Yong said with a smile. "Now your score is a full twenty points behind, and there's no hope of turning the tables."
Ji Liangchuan remained silent.
Wu Zhaoyang frowned. "Lan Yong, don't mock him. His teammates are terrible, but he is not to blame."
"What's the difference?" Lan Yong, still smiling, looked at Ji Liangchuan and said, "The strength of teammates is indeed a reflection of one's own strength."
Hearing this, Lan Yong didn't even glance at Ji Liangchuan, dropped the ball aside, and said, "Ji Liangchuan, you've been too arrogant. I've found you annoying for a while. Now, you can choose, either continue and get beaten thoroughly, or choose wisely, and admit defeat directly."
"As long as you admit defeat openly, our previous agreement can be nullified, and you can still play in the future."
Ji Liangchuan was silent for a moment before saying, "No, if playing can't bring me victory and happiness, what's the point of playing at all?"
Lan Yong laughed and glanced at the beautiful lady teacher Ju Yang beside the court. "Aren't you playing just to attract the attention of beauties? Look at her, see how heartbroken she is now."
Ji Liangchuan turned his head and saw Ju Yang's anxious eyes. Then he lowered his head, remaining silent.
Next to the court, Ju Yang, who used to see Ji Liangchuan as spirited, now looked at him with eyes full of concern as he appeared utterly devoid of fighting spirit.
"Without Shen Qiang, Ji Liangchuan is simply unable to beat them."
"Yeah, the people from Medical University are so despicable, attacking Ji Liangchuan when Shen Qiang is not here."
"It's not the Medical University's people fault, it's because Ji Liangchuan is too arrogant. He thought he could win without Shen Qiang, so that's why he made the bet."
"Yeah, if he didn't think he could win without Shen Qiang, how could he possibly agree to such a thing?"
"It's all too late now, there's no chance to turn the game around."
"Look quick, Ji Liangchuan has stopped running, it looks like he has given up."
Amidst these discussions, at the sight of Ji Liangchuan's dispirited figure, Ju Yang's eyes also filled with disappointment. Just then, she heard Shen Qiang's voice beside her.
"Sorry, seems like I have arrived a bit late."
Shen Qiang!
The lady teacher Ju Yang's eyes lit up with surprise.
At the same time, not only did everyone on the court stop, but all eyes in the gym turned toward Shen Qiang.
"Shen Qiang!"
"Now there's a spectacle to watch!"
"You think just because Shen Qiang is here, you can win?"
"Of course, Shen Qiang and Ji Liangchuan have taught them a lesson countless times."
In the midst of everyone's talk, Ji Liangchuan's eyes brightened.
Seeing Shen Qiang proactively step up, Ji Liangchuan smiled, "You're back?"
Shen Qiang smiled. "Sounds like you're questioning why I didn't call you."
Ji Liangchuan laughed and said, "Help me beat them, I owe you one."
Shen Qiang laughed. "Don't be so self-centered in front of me. If you think I stepped up to play just to help you, you're mistaken. I'm here, 1 to help Ju Yang, 2 to get back at Lan Yong."
Ji Liangchuan laughed, "I know you've been causing trouble in Shanghai. Trust me, as my buddy, no one can touch you."
"If you weren't so full of yourself, I would consider covering for you," Shen Qiang said earnestly.
Ji Liangchuan laughed, "Stop joking, me, Ji Liangchuan, need you to cover for me? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe that."
At that moment, Lan Yong walked over, looked at Shen Qiang and laughed, "Oh, isn't this the King of Demons? I thought you had to skip town. Didn't expect you to be so loyal and come back to cover for Ji Liangchuan, but it's useless, you both are destined to lose today."
Having said that, Lan Yong retreated with a smile.
Raising an eyebrow, Shen Qiang glanced at Ji Liangchuan, who was standing there stunned, and laughed, "Heard that? Now, I am indeed the one covering for you."
Ji Liangchuan frowned and remained silent.
It was Medical University's possession.
Shen Qiang, still following his old patterns, took the ball.
He started off with a three-pointer.
Swish.
The basketball swooshed through the net perfectly.
Afterward, the smiling Shen Qiang placed his hand beside his ear, gesturing as if he was listening.
Seeing Shen Qiang do this,
The crowd inside the basketball hall immediately shouted out loud.
"Shen Qiang! Shen Qiang! Shen Qiang!"
Shen Qiang nodded and smiled.
At that moment, Lan Yong aggressively moved up and reached back to ask for the ball.
After getting the ball, while dribbling, he ribbed Shen Qiang, saying, "Online they call you an ancient demon, the King of Demons, and they say you've got a pretty fox spirit with you. It makes me laugh, but, considering how you've killed so many of the Zhang Family, I guess it isn't too shameful. So maybe I shouldn't call you a weakling anymore."
Shen Qiang laughed, "As someone who has lost to me in every game, do you really have the face to say that?"
Lan Yong laughed and said, "Okay, considering you are quite the spotlight now, I'll put in more effort in playing against you, and no one should accuse me of bullying you."
Shen Qiang was astonished at the same time.
Lan Yong taunted, "Listen up, I'm about to attack. I know I probably can't beat you in skill, so if you dare to block me, I will send you flying just like the first time we played."
Shen Qiang laughed, "I'm afraid you might not succeed."
Hearing this, Lan Yong's expression turned cold; he then charged fiercely towards Shen Qiang with the ball.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Seeing Shen Qiang moving along with him, Lan Yong laughed because he knew well that, like many ordinary cultivators, Shen Qiang primarily focused on techniques, which made him physically weaker. Thus, sending Shen Qiang flying would be too easy for him.
"Alright then, don't blame me; you asked for it."
Lan Yong's eyes flashing with a cold light, he suddenly rammed into Shen Qiang.
"Move away! It's intentional foul!"
"Oh man, such an obvious charge!"
"This guy is so malicious, he's trying to force Shen Qiang off the court!"
"It's over; Shen Qiang doesn't have the stamina. Being a shooting player, in a direct clash, he can only at best match Lan Yong. Now that Lan Yong has started moving and Shen Qiang is retreating, once Lan Yong hits him, he will definitely be sent flying."
"Inertia, impact, under these circumstances, Shen Qiang will definitely fall."
"Damn, dodge it!"
"Oh no!"
"Shen Qiang!" Just as Ji Liangchuan and the others in the venue felt anxious.
Bang!
The ball-carrying Lan Yong had already firmly crashed into Shen Qiang's embrace.
But then, everyone was stunned.
Defensively posed, Shen Qiang stood steady like a mountain.
The ball-carrying Lan Yong, with a bang, was sent flying back.
