Chapter 134: Limitless Swagger
Before the match even started, the atmosphere on the court already felt extraordinarily serious which gave off an oppressive atmosphere
Ready
Following the referees orders, He Yuan and Zhao Ritian both lowered their bodies, preparing to leap and snatch the ball after the serve.
Begin!
The moment the ball was served, He Yuan and Zhao Ritian leaped at the same time!
Their reactions were extremely quick, both locked onto the ball in the air. However, much to He Yuans surprise, Zhao Ritian easily exceeded his height and stretched his hand towards the ball!
Smack!
The ball was sent flying towards a member of Zhao Ritians team.
What an amazing leap! Little Gen, the basketball aficionado, yelped in surprise.
He Yuans leap was already rather strong. It definitely exceeded 60cm. However, it ended up a full head shorter than Zhao Ritians. That showed that Zhao Ritians leap was almost a full meter!
One should know that even in the NBA, some of the players could only leap up to one meter!
With such an amazing performance, the atmosphere on the Capital Universitys side turned even darker, putting them all in a dark mood.
Meanwhile, Huaqing University made a charge while Capital University tried its best to defend.
Zhao Ritians body dashed forward at high speed, aiming for Capital Universitys backboard.
Stop him!
Unfortunately, those words were pointless. Huaqing Universitys team had already made the pass. Zhao Ritian received the ball, broke through the defense and performed a three-step layup!
Score!
Beautiful! Cool!
The first score was a piece of cake!
Keep it up! Keep the momentum and show Capital University our strength!
Zhao Ritian is the best! Zhao Ritian will win the match! Right then, the cheerleading team broke into a cheer immediately.
F*ck, what kind of dumb*ssery is that? Its just the first score. What are they so happy about?
Have you not tasted victory before?
Its just a stroke of luck! The match had just begun!
He Yuan, are you a dumb*ss? You already know of Zhao Ritians exploits. Why didnt you send someone to mark him?!
Capital Universitys side similarly went into an uproar as anxiety washed through them.
Following that was Huaqing Universitys serve.
Capital Universitys players had realized how strong their opponents were. They all took a deep breath, then pushed their focus to the max, staying on edge.
However, Huaqing Universitys players were not to be looked down on. Apart from Zhao Ritian, the rest were also rather skilled. Dribbling, passing, all their moves were executed with perfect teamwork.
The basketball, making its way around the court, once again fell into Zhao Ritians hands.
Two of Capital Universitys[1] players immediately went for the defense.
Zhao Ritian sneered at the two, then stood on the three-point zone and leaped. Both hands in the air, he made the shot!
Under everyones gaze, the ball soared through the air in a beautiful crescent arc.
Thunk!
The ball went in, a perfect three-pointer!
Nice shot! President Zhang shouted with a bright glow in his eyes, unable to hold back.
Zhao Hao is well trained in dribbling. He is firm and measured, everything well under his control. Furthermore, his three-step layup and aerial shot were both executed perfectly with extremely high accuracy. Hes good. Definitely worth nurturing! Zhang He praised generously with a smile.
What does President Zhang think of this match? Principal Xu asked as he threw a haughty glance at Principal Shen.
Capital Universitys students are doing quite well too. However, thats in terms of ordinary people. Theres a big gap between them and Zhao Hao. President Zhang remarked objectively, The match is more or less decided. If nothing out of the ordinary happened, Huaqing is likely to win.
Aiya, Old Shen, looks like Im the lucky winner this time. Seems like youre going to foot the bill for our meal. Ive always wanted to try the food at Royal Seafood Restaurant but never had the heart to splurge. Why dont you make a reservation there for me? Principal Xu laughed, Im sorry for the strain on your finances.
Royal Seafood Restaurant was one of Capital Citys top-tier seafood restaurants. All the seafood was flown in by air from various countries which guaranteed freshness. Furthermore, their cooking methods were unique. There was only one shortcoming, and that was the exorbitant price.
Principal Shen huffed and shut his eyes, seemingly sitting in meditation. In truth, he was on the verge of suffering a stroke from the aggravation.
It was just the beginning of the match, Zhao Ritian had already scored five points. The abilities he showed were all the more awe-inspiring.
This fella, I didnt expect him to be this strong. The Capital Universitys audience went silent with dark faces.
Huaqing University must have gotten lucky. To think they would find someone this good.
Even if we lose, we must lose honorably. We cant have them crush us like bugs right?
Although the match had just begun, it was clear to see that the result was as good as set in stone.
Even if they did not understand a thing about basketball, it was easy to see that Zhao Ritian was dominating the match. His actions were smooth and could be described as dashingly beautiful.
The match continued, quickly reaching the halfway mark.
The sounds of a basketball bouncing off the ground could be heard, accompanied by the squeaking footsteps. The players were drenched in sweat, their faces serious.
The audience was also fully focused, observing the match to the finest detail.
The current score was 135: 96, with Capital University falling behind.
With a whistle from the referee, the first half came to an end, followed by a 15 minutes break for half time.
Immediately the crew members brought water and towels to help the players relax and rest.
Were falling behind by 39 points. The second half is not hopeless yet. The crowd from Capital University let out a sigh of relief. The outcome was better than expected.
However, right at that moment, Zhao Ritian left his field and headed towards Capital Universitys team.
His face carried a provocative smile, immediately attracting everyones attention.
Is that all you can do? His voice was not loud, but with everyone focused on his words, it immediately ignited the crowd.
Whats the meaning of this? He Yuans brows knitted into a tight frown.
That was too disappointing, Zhao Ritian replied in a condescending tone, shaking his head, The first half was only a warm-up for me. If thats all youve got, then you should just throw in the towel instead of losing miserably.
You twerp, who do you think you are? You think youre so great?!
Trying to brag? Perhaps you would like me to beat you up to the point where your mother cant recognize you?
Capital Universitys players were immediately filled with anger, their eyes red with rage.
Ill see you in the second half, said Zhao Ritian mockingly, then left with a smug grin.
Such an explosive scene quietened the entire court for a moment, then it turned into an uproar.
Zhao Ritian is so domineering. Hes helped Huaqing gain some face. Capital University sucks!
Zhao Ritian, go teach them a lesson!
Capital University, feel the pain of your loss, wahahahaha
Do you think our Capital University will be afraid of you? The second half is not decided yet!
Its just a small advantage, whats there to be proud of?
F*ck, do you really think you can f*ck the heavens? Just the sight of your haughty face makes me want to give you a slap or two!
[1] In raw it was written as Huaqing University, but judging by the next sentence where Zhao Ritian was going against the two players, we suspect that it may have been a typo.
