Chapter 8: Utter Defeat

  The subsequent game was almost a one-man show by He Dong, although his basketball skills were not great, but he had super strong jumping ability. He Dong was like a wound-up machine that didn't know fatigue, frantically bombing under the basket with all sorts of wonderful dunk moves: windmills, between-the-legs, 360-degree turns, behind-the-back, and in-air changes of hands, etc., all appearing in his hands.

  Today, the most excited ones are not He Dong, but those basketball fans. Watching He Dong's performance, both men and women were screaming with excitement, and it just kept getting louder and louder.

  Lin Xuan was also extremely excited, although she was not familiar with basketball, but she was infected by He Dong's brilliant performance and the intense atmosphere around her, so she also followed the crowd to cheer and scream.

  "This is probably the last ball, if you can't stop me again, you will end this game with zero points!" He Dong looked at Sun Sheng, whose face had already turned extremely ugly, and continued to stimulate his nerves.

  "Damn it!" Sun Sheng's face was already somewhat ferocious, for twenty minutes of the game, they hadn't even scored a single point, which was absolutely humiliating for him. So, he had now made up his mind that in this last period of time, no matter what, he must score at least one goal.

  Will He Dong give him this opportunity? Obviously not, He Dong is not narrow-minded, but he will not be magnanimous to the point of giving his enemy a chance to breathe. This time he decided to shock the world.

  After getting the ball, he didn't wait for Sun Sheng to intercept it, and directly took the ball to charge at Sun Sheng. This time, Sun Sheng also learned his lesson and did not take the initiative to attack, but instead steadily defended under the basket.

  "Hmph, you think I still can't dunk like this?" The opponent stuck to the basket and didn't come out to interfere, which was actually the best time for a long shot. However, He Dong himself knew his situation and had no confidence in his long shot, so he took the ball and charged straight ahead.

  But this time he didn't rush to the basket, instead, when he was about to reach the free throw line, he suddenly started jumping up.

  "What is He Dong going to do?"

  "Could it be that he wants......!"

  "Free throw line dunk? No way! That's the Flyman's specialty, can he really do it?"

  He Dong's action once again caused a fierce commotion, everyone held their breath and stared at He Dong's shocking move, the entire basketball court instantly fell into an unusual silence.

  "Slam dunk!" He jumped high, stretched his body comfortably, and swung his arms naturally, slamming the basketball into the hoop with a loud crash, as He Dong perfectly ended the game.

  And He Dong's last majestic appearance, like an eagle soaring in the sky, was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. Lin Xuan didn't know why he suddenly felt a strong urge to cry.

  "You lost!" He Dong came in front of Sun Sheng again and said coldly.

  "Hmph, let's go!" Sun Sheng gave He Dong a resentful glance before turning to leave with his men.

  "Halt! You'd better admit defeat! The previous bet hasn't been settled yet!" He Dong had long been holding back his anger towards Sun Sheng, and although he had vented it out on the court, he would rather see his enemy kneel down at his feet.

  "He Dong, don't go too far!" Sun Sheng's cold gaze stared straight at He Dong's face.

  "Hmph, if I lose, will you let me off? I'm just using the same method to deal with him!" He Dong Leng coldly snorted and said.

  "He Dong, are you really going to die with me?" Sun Sheng threatened He Dong again with a fierce and vicious gaze.

  "You're porcelain, I'm not even a broken clay pot! You weren't afraid to fight me to the death back then, what am I afraid of?" He Dong put on an air of nonchalance.

  "You...!" Sun Sheng was so enraged by He Dong's attitude that his lips turned purple and his hands trembled.

  The dogs following Sun Sheng were also furious, and if it weren't for the crowd of onlookers, they would have rushed up and beaten He Dong severely.

  "What are you doing? What are you guys doing? Are you gang fighting? Be careful, I'll expel all of you!" Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a short and chubby boy wearing glasses suddenly appeared.

  Everyone almost simultaneously shut their mouths when they saw this person. Seeing this effect, the fat man's face revealed a hint of complacency, and he walked with a swagger between He Dong and Sun Sheng, then loudly asked "What are you doing? Are you fighting?"

  "Director Liu, how could we be fighting? We're just playing ball!" Sun Sheng said with a flattering smile to Tian Lei who was standing next to the short and stout man, without even looking at him. After all, given Sun Sheng's family background, he could afford to ignore this Director Liu, but he himself couldn't afford not to fawn over him.

  "What's the point of playing ball? Why are so many people gathering here? Can't you all just disperse quickly?" Director Liu, as the head of the teaching department, held significant power over these students, and with a grand wave of his hand, he appeared very authoritative.

  Sun Sheng was already furious after losing the ball, and the bet made him even more angry. So although he didn't give Director Liu a good face, he took this opportunity to turn around and leave.

  "Old Three!" Sun Sheng's departure left He Dong very dissatisfied, he was about to say something else, but at this moment, Wang Qiang suddenly pulled him and gave him a wink while shaking his head.

  "Alright, alright, Lao San! A cornered rabbit will still bite people, you know. We're fine china now, no need to stoop to their level and get mixed up with those broken earthenware!" Guo Jiadun also came over to advise.

  "Alright, let's not bother with him!" After trouncing Sun Sheng in the basketball game, He Dong had finally vented his frustrations, so after everyone's persuasion, he didn't insist on it anymore.

  "Third brother, you're really awesome today! Is Jordan's spirit possessing you?" A whirlwind of excitement settled down, and Fatso suddenly asked He Dong excitedly.

  "Right, Third Brother, you're so handsome! You must teach me a few moves! Didn't you see the excited look on those female students who were watching? I just realized that playing basketball well is also a great way to pick up girls!" Hua Shao was also excited, his eyes shining brightly.

  "You only know how to flirt! Today you're treating Lao San to a celebration, and you're inviting me to pay the bill!" Wang Qiang slapped Hua Shao on the back of his head with a loud "pa", then laughed and scolded him.

  "No problem, I'll treat. Third Brother, why don't you also invite Lin Xiaohua to come along?" Hua Shao suddenly said mysteriously, pointing in a certain direction.

  He Dong looked in the direction that Hua Shao was pointing, and coincidentally met Lin Xuan's gaze, both of their faces suddenly had a fiery feeling.

  Finally, Lin Xuan herself didn't know why she agreed to He Dong's request and went out to celebrate with them. This was her first time agreeing to have dinner with a boy.
