Chapter 7: Dunk
"Having an affair! Look at the two of you, with that loving and affectionate look on your faces. Do you dare say that you two are innocent?" The conversation between He Dong and Lin Xuan was not heard by anyone, but their expressions caused many people to misunderstand. Guo Jiadong suddenly put his arm around He Dong and teased him.
"How can you say such dirty words? We were originally innocent!" He Dong brushed away Guo Jia's arm around his own, then picked up a basketball and patted it.
"Lao San, look over there!" Wang Qiang quietly pulled He Dong and nodded his chin towards Sun Sheng's direction, then continued, "Sun Sheng just saw you and Lin Xuan being intimate, his eyes turned red. I reckon he's absolutely furious now. We can totally take advantage of his emotions to win this tough battle!"
"Alright, let's go!" He Dong didn't say anything else and directly patted the basketball as he walked towards the basketball court.
"He Dong, I'm going to torture you to death!" Sun Sheng said with a dark face as he looked at He Dong who was walking over.
Sun Sheng had been pursuing Lin Xuan for over a year, but in that year, not to mention smiling faces, they hadn't even exchanged a few words. Sun Sheng sent flowers and gifts, but Lin Xuan wouldn't even look at them or accept them. Even when he sent things to Lin Xuan's dormitory, they would soon be thrown into the trash can.
But today, he saw the woman he had set his sights on laughing and chatting with He Dong, their expressions ambiguous, how could this not make him burn with jealousy.
"Basketball is not talked about with your mouth!" He Dong said disdainfully.
When playing jump ball, He Dong and Sun Sheng did not show up. Sun Sheng's basketball skills were good, but that didn't mean he could surpass the elites of the basketball team. On the surface, among the three people on He Dong's side, only Guo Jiatong played basketball the best. So the jump ball was directly between Guo Jiatong and a member of the basketball team named Tian Lei.
Both of them were members of the basketball team and often played together before, so they both knew each other well. As soon as Tian Lei saw Guo Jiatong, a triumphant smile appeared on his face, because he knew that Guo Jiatong would definitely not be able to beat him.
As expected, after the jump ball, Sun Sheng got the ball in his hands first, and then brought it over to He Dong while walking towards him, and even hooked his fingers at him provocatively.
He Dong stood still under the basket, but also beckoned to Sun Sheng with a provocative expression on his face.
"Hmph, let's see how you die!" Sun Sheng suppressed his anger and rushed towards He Dong with the ball. Just as he was about to collide with He Dong, he suddenly changed direction and made a three-step layup around him.
In Sun Sheng's eyes, He Dong was just a rookie, a sports idiot. Even when he himself was about to dunk, the opponent hadn't even intercepted yet. But just as he was jumping up for the dunk after getting past He Dong, he suddenly felt his hands lighten, and upon closer inspection, the basketball in his hands had vanished into thin air. Meanwhile, He Dong was leisurely patting a basketball not far away from him.
"Oh!!!!!!" Everyone's eyes widened suddenly, and Sun Sheng was even more shocked, what's going on?
But soon Sun Sheng was slightly stunned, and immediately rushed towards He Dong again, thinking that He Dong's interception just now was like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.
"Haha!" He Dong sneered and patted the basketball, also rushing towards Sun Sheng.
"Lao San, don't mess around, pass the ball!" Wang Qiang hastily and anxiously shouted upon seeing this situation.
"Lao San, over here!" Meanwhile, Guo Jia also quickly occupied a favorable position, stretching out his hand to ask He Dong for the ball.
"Tian Kui, Wang Gang, over there!" Sun Sheng shouted loudly, directing his two henchmen to block Wang Qiang and Guo Jiatong, while he himself went to intercept He Dong.
"Watch how I get past you!" He Dong's speed was incredibly fast, and he quickly arrived in front of Sun Sheng with the ball. Sun Sheng opened his arms wide, blocking all possible paths for He Dong to advance.
Just as Sun Sheng was feeling pleased with himself, he suddenly saw He Dong jump up. Sun Sheng thought He Dong wanted to shoot and immediately jumped up to block him. Sun Sheng and He Dong were about the same height, both around 1.8 meters, but he believed his jumping ability was stronger than his opponent's and could completely block his line of sight, even interfering with his shot.
But incredibly, it happened again. He Dong's body was still rising after he jumped up, while Sun Sheng had already exhausted his strength and started to fall. When Sun Sheng was about to land, He Dong bent his legs and flew over Sun Sheng's head with a single hand holding the ball, slamming it into the hoop.
"My god, this is... This is a human-separating axe-style slam dunk!"
"This bounce is also too amazing, right? Sun Sheng just now even if his legs were slightly bent, at least over 1.6 meters, he actually flew directly over Sun Sheng's head!"
"Is this still Sports Idiot? I feel like he's been possessed by Jordan!"
"Too handsome, too stunning!"
The onlookers were shocked by this stunning scene before their eyes and couldn't think clearly, unable to distinguish whether it was fantasy or reality.
Even Wang Qiang, who knew He Dong very well, was also shocked with wide eyes. Even if they could turn their grief into strength, it couldn't be this powerful, right? If that were really possible, then they would rather experience the pain once more.
Lin Xuan did not expect He Dong to have such an amazing performance, she was so excited that her face was flushed with redness, and she couldn't help but put her hands in front of her mouth in a trumpet shape, shouting loudly towards the basketball court "He Dong, you're awesome!"
Lin Xuan's rallying cry was absolutely powerful, and as soon as she finished shouting, the shocked crowd finally came to their senses and began to applaud, cheer and scream together.
The enthusiasm outside did not affect He Dong, he was still calm and composed, hitting the ball slowly, but Lin Xuan's shouting had stimulated Sun Sheng greatly, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at He Dong, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
He Dong seemed to have not seen his opponent, leisurely shooting the ball in the outer circle. When Sun Shenghong stared at him again and pounced on him, he directly made a fake step, quickly flashing past Sun Sheng with the ball, rushing into the inner line, shaking off Tian Lei under the basket, and then came up with a powerful two-handed dunk, so strong that it almost pulled down the hoop.
"Awesome, it's really too awesome!"
"He Dong is not a human being, he's an orangutan! Identification complete!"
"I wish he were my boyfriend!"
“……!”
"Are you going to play or not?" He Dong walked up to Sun Sheng with the basketball, his expression still calm but his aura pressing.
"Don't think that just because you've scored two goals, you can show off in front of me! We haven't lost yet!" Sun Sheng shouted back defiantly.
"Alright then, let's continue!" He Dong turned around and walked towards the serving line.
