That's right, just one hand.
The basketball hoop is an object without any life, so it's impossible for a hand to appear out of it, let alone a hand of flesh and blood.
But how could a hand appear inside the basketball hoop?
Of course, it was Ye Xiao's hand.
While everyone was watching to see if the basketball would go into the hoop, Ye Xiao swiftly arrived under the backboard and with a leap, grabbed the basketball from underneath the hoop and hoisted it back out.
The basketball didn't go into the hoop, naturally, it couldn't score.
Ye Xiao's other hand grabbed the basketball; his hands seemed to have a special attraction to the basketball as it didn't fall off despite being the size of a watermelon!
Ye Xiao landed steadily back on the ground, a smile on his face, the basketball pulsating in his hands!
At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
If one said Ye Xiao's previous shot was a fluke, now there surely was no excuse. Ye Xiao, coming from the backboard, dominated like Sakuragi Hanamichi!
"How... how is this possible? How could he be that fast!"
"My God, how could his jumping power be so strong!"
"He actually snatched the basketball right out of the hoop, that's too fierce!"
The spectators were utterly astonished, clearly shocked by the extraordinary strength Ye Xiao had displayed!
However, Ye Xiao himself seemed unaffected as he drove the ball swiftly towards Wang Chi's basket!
It was only then that Wang Chi reacted, hurrying to intercept Ye Xiao, with Ren Cheng and the others also quickly converging on Ye Xiao!
Ye Xiao had now slowed down!
Winning was not the key, Ye Xiao felt, idly playing with them was the most crucial!
Ye Xiao completely could rely on his martial artist skills, run fast, ditch those who meant him harm, and time after time handle the ball and shoot three-pointers!
In the end, Ye Xiao would dominate with an overwhelming advantage, but that didn't feel very interesting to him, even dull and not at all enjoyable!
So, Ye Xiao slowed down!
Wang Chi, Ren Cheng, and other players from both teams, including Ye Xiao's teammates, all ran towards Ye Xiao!
Though not looking at them, Ye Xiao could feel the positions of these people; it was like they intended to wrap dumplings!
And in their eyes, Ye Xiao was the dumpling filling!
Wang Chi took the lead, quickly getting close to Ye Xiao. However, Ye Xiao didn't speed up but rather slowed down, giving Wang Chi the chance to swiftly reach for the basketball in Ye Xiao's hands!
Not just Wang Chi, Ren Cheng and others were the same, and in an instant, Ye Xiao was surrounded, making it difficult to dribble properly!
Ye Xiao didn't plan to use his martial skills. Instead, with a smile flashing across his face, he suddenly exerted force with his hand, smacking the basketball down onto the ground. Then, due to gravity hitting the ground, the basketball violently bounced up!
The ball bounced towards Wang Chi; Wang Chi, seeing the violently rebounding ball, quickly flinched away, allowing the basketball to fly past him, while Ye Xiao, taking advantage of Wang Chi's movement, leaped out of the encirclement!
The basketball bounced high and then quickly fell down; Ye Xiao was already at the landing spot, thus easily caught the basketball and sped towards the opponent's hoop.
At this moment, as Wang Chi and his group had gathered together, there was no one near the opponent's hoop, and what happened next was easy; Ye Xiao dribbled over and nonchalantly made a basket, scoring!
Ye Xiao caught the basketball as it fell from above the hoop, grinning at Wang Chi, who was furiously upset, and said, "Are we comparing by points, or by the number of baskets scored?"
Clearly, Ye Xiao was hinting to Wang Chi that if they were playing by points, he now had one three-pointer and a two-pointer, making five points in total while Wang Chi had scored two baskets but none were three-pointers. Just by that, Wang Chi could have at most four points!
Five points versus four clearly had a distinct advantage!
If it was by points, Ye Xiao was already leading!
Wang Chi, looking at Ye Xiao, was so angered he couldn't speak, and then Ren Cheng quickly said to Wang Chi, "Young Master Wang, this guy has five points now, we shouldn't compare by points, we'd be at a disadvantage, let's compare by the number of baskets, that way we can still maintain a tie!"
Hearing Ren Cheng's words, Wang Chi was furious enough to kill, but he was helpless because that was the fact!
According to Wang Chi's previous arrogant character, he would definitely decide the outcome by points, but today he had asserted they couldn't lose; if they did, it wasn't just a matter of losing face, but also the right to pursue Lin Dieying in the future, something Wang Chi absolutely did not want to see!
Wang Chi thought for a moment, then finally said to Ren Cheng, "Count the scores!"
Ren Cheng immediately nodded slightly before looking coldly towards Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao, what are you so proud of? The game has just begun, and we're not even in an official match. It doesn't matter about points, but a basket counts as one. As long as it's scored fairly without fouling, it counts. Right now, we're tied at two-all!"
Ye Xiao knew Wang Chi would decide this way, because that was the only way Wang Chi could maintain the balance!
"You guys are cheating. I heard you earlier saying it was about points!" At this point, Lin Dieying couldn't hold back and loudly said, "Plus, now it is all of you against just Ye Xiao. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Wang Chi didn't make a sound, but Ren Cheng spoke up, "Lin Dieying, tell me who mentioned points. The game isn't over yet. Don't cause trouble, otherwise, we might deduct points from Ye Xiao. Whomever you help, we'll deduct their points!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Dieying was very angry inside, but she had no words to counter and held back from making any more comments.
Ye Xiao glanced at Lin Dieying and said nothing, but a slight smile appeared on his face.
The game continued!
Ye Xiao kept giving surprises to everyone present time and time again. However, one unsurprising fact remained—since Ye Xiao had scored, Wang Chi hadn't made a basket again. It wasn't for lack of wanting to score, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get the ball into the basket!
Several times, Wang Chi's perfect three-pointers approached the basket, but Ye Xiao always unexpectedly grabbed the rebounds dominantly!
One time!
Two times!
Three times!
Five times!
Eight times!
...
Wang Chi's confidence eroded gradually, until finally, he was drenched in sweat. Not just Wang Chi, but Ren Cheng and some of the other players were all sweating too. In contrast, Ye Xiao looked like a normal person unaffected by any intense activity – not out of breath or flushed at all.
Bang!
The basketball slammed hard against the backboard, then rebounded and naturally went through the hoop.
Another basket!
By this time, Ye Xiao had scored ten baskets, while Wang Chi was still at two!
Looking at the ball going through the hoop again, Wang Chi's breathing became rapid. He couldn't believe any of this was real, but indeed, it was!
"Want to keep playing?" Ye Xiao, holding the basketball in one hand, walked cheerily towards Wang Chi.
Wang Chi, watching Ye Xiao approaching, was full of rage. If looks could kill, Ye Xiao would have been slain countless times by now!
"Feeling unconvinced?" Ye Xiao said with a slight smile, placing the basketball on the ground. Without looking at Wang Chi again, he turned and walked towards Lin Dieying while continuing, "I gave you a chance, but unfortunately, you just don't have the strength or the right to win Lin Dieying's heart. Also, I must thank you. If it weren't for me stepping over you like this today, I probably wouldn't have won Lin Dieying's heart!"
That last sentence from Ye Xiao was purely to provoke Wang Chi!
Upon hearing this, Wang Chi flew into a rage, irrationally grabbing the basketball from the ground and furiously threw it straight at Ye Xiao with blazing speed!
Lin Dieying, along with everyone else, saw it clearly, and there were cries of surprise all around!
However, Ye Xiao was watching for Wang Chi's reaction, having sensed his emotional shift as soon as he finished speaking. Thus, he had already been cautious and now, noticing the ball thrown at his head—
Ye Xiao had already seen it coming!
So, as the ball flew at him, Ye Xiao rapidly dodged, then caught the basketball with both hands!
Ye Xiao didn't react angrily to Wang Chi's actions; on the contrary, he chuckled inwardly, thinking if this guy was sent by heaven just for him to show off?
After a stylish spin, Ye Xiao didn't throw the ball at Wang Chi, which surprised everyone. At that moment, nearly everyone thought Ye Xiao would definitely smash the ball into Wang Chi's face!
But Ye Xiao didn't do that, because he saw something more meaningful than hurting Wang Chi.
Ye Xiao threw the basketball, and it traced a perfect arc before smoothly entering the basket again—another score!
If earlier Ye Xiao had deliberately aimed, it would have been expected, but this time, it seemed like an unconscious throw from Ye Xiao. You should know that Ye Xiao was near mid-court then, even further than the three-point line!
The basket went in, and with that, everyone was utterly stunned and all quite amazed. How did Ye Xiao manage that? Even Wang Chi was shocked!
Just then, the noon school bell rang!
