Chapter 153: Seven Ball World Record

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Break the record?”

Meng Fan didn’t think of this. After all, he had no experience in sports competitions before his reincarnation. Even after receiving the hand speed and throwing accuracy, he did not consider this. In his subconscious, he was still a far stretch away from breaking the world record.

With Da Fei’s reminder, however, Meng Fan found that he was not far from attaining this.

The single player record for the CGL basketball tournament was… Meng Fan had checked before, but couldn’t remember it. Hence, he used the stream aid to search it online. 837 points. It was also the approved world record for the 7 ball basketball machine, created by a player from Taiwan.

Also, another recognized record was for a 9 ball machine, tallying at 1024 points. It was created by another player from Taiwan. However, it wasn’t created during the CGL tournaments, as the competition only used a 7 ball format.

Meng Fan has not reached a score of 837 yet. His highest had been around 830. Although he has never scored it before, this score to Meng Fan was not unrealistic.

Indeed, as Da Fei had mentioned, if he could break the tournament record, he’d be breaking a world record. Then the issues with these reporters will be properly handled.

In fact, even more media agencies will report on him.

“Buddy, are you really thinking about breaking the record?” Da Fei noticed Meng Fan had been deep in thought and felt fearful in an instant.

Meng Fan confirmed once again and said, “The record is 837 right?” Seeing Da Fei nod, Meng Fan smiled. “Then I will try my best.”

“Try your best?”

Da Fei heard this and was stunned for a minute. Was this the sort of thing you can achieve by trying your best?

But thinking carefully, he realized this chump actually might be able to break it!

Before the competition, Meng Fan had streamed himself breaking the records on the machines in different arcades. Da Fei had watched quite a few of these, and they had been the reason he felt Meng Fan’s strengths were bottomless. He had no idea what kind of score this chump can achieve.

Before, Da Fei believed Meng Fan could score 800. As a result, he had scored 827 just now. This was much stronger than Da Fei expected.

He originally thought that he would reach 810 at best, but who would have thought Meng Fan exceeded that by 17 points.

Although it was difficult to improve after a certain score, and even harder to do so on the court, hence most people’s personal high scores were achieved during casual practice. Usually, if a person could score 800, it meant they had achieved 800 during their practice and not guaranteed they would score it on a competitive platform.

So to Da Fei or any other contestants, it would be very difficult to increase his score by 10 points during a match.

Only, Da Fei felt that for Meng Fan… it wouldn’t be that hard.

He would wait and see. Who knows what could happen?!

The second round of the CGL basketball city finals was about to begin. There were ten people who had advanced to the second round. It was divided into three rounds of shooting, and the two people with the lowest scores would be directly eliminated after each round.

Regardless of your previous score, it only looked at the current round. It was a high demand for maintaining game morale.

After the first round, Meng Fan once again cast a high score of 820+, but he did not manage to exceed the 827 he had scored before, hitting 822 instead. Even Meng Fan couldn’t guarantee a flawless performance for every round.

As for Da Fei, he had been eliminated after coming last in the first round.

In this regard, Da Fei was not dismayed. To be honest, he already felt lucky to be advancing to the second round. He had come in the 10th.

After being eliminated, Da Fei squatted on the side and cheered for Meng Fan. He had never seen a record being broken live and was looking forward to it. Thinking about it, it made him a little excited.

“That’s my buddy, I’m honored!”

The second time, Meng Fan once again scored 820+, 825 points.

In the third round, he managed to reach 831 points!

Once in the second round, all eyes were on Meng Fan. The competition had become his personal show.

“Why do I feel like something big is about to happen in Hangzhou today?!”

The organizers were already clustered together waving their hands, with their faces full of excitement and joy.

When Meng Fan finished his third round, the group of organizers hand in hand all released a sigh. They were still excited, but a bit disappointed.

They were very clear about what Meng Fan’s creeping score meant, and knew how hard it was to break the record. But maybe they were inexplicably feeling like Da Fei, thinking Meng Fan had the ability to break the record.

“There’s still the third round!”

The organizers became hopeful once again.

After the second round ended, six people had been eliminated leaving only four left for the final round.

After the second round of singles, was the second round for men’s doubles and mixed doubles. It was also the championship match for these two categories. They had fewer competitors than the singles one, and the reward pool was limited too. Hence, the single player championship had to be the final showrunner.

An hour or so had passed before the men’s doubles and mixed doubles championships emerged. Similar to the singles, only one team from each category would advance into provincial finals.

Because of his determination to break the record, Meng Fan did not wander around during this hour. He obediently stayed in the players’ resting area to recharge and await the finals.

There were four people who had advanced to the final round. The final procedure required each person to play three rounds, counting the highest score out of one of them as the players’ final score. The final score that wins the championship will be a beautiful one.

Before playing, Meng Fan exchanged a bottle of sports drinks from the system. The last two rounds have already proved that he had the ability to break the record, but it was difficult to break a score on the court. Hence, he required the help of the special sports drink that could increase his competitive state to its peak.

“He’s out, he’s finally out!”

“I’m so f*cking bored, I’ve been waiting on this stream for an hour!”

“Although I knew Meng fatty was going to win the championship for sure, I still want to see the moment it happens.”

When he finally appeared in the stream again, the quiet live chat began to thicken with comments.

“It’s starting!”

“Do you guys think Meng fatty looks a bit strange?”

“He’s fatter?”

“Did his air change?”

“He looks really serious.”

“Why do I think at this time the organizers should give him some BGM!”

“Should it be the BGM from Cardcaptor Sakura?!”

“The Sailor Moon transformation music is the most fitting!”

“I was going to say Chopin’s prelude but seeing your comments… Goodbye!”

The stream was livid, yet the scene was quiet.

Meng Fan pressed the start button. After drinking the sports drink, he was at peak performance when he approached the machine. His intuition was excellent, his hand speed was extraordinary. He scored 272 points in the first level!

Woosh woosh woosh.

The audience’s gaze all fell on Meng Fan. It seems even the sound of other people shooting had been silenced by him. They could only hear the sound of Meng Fan breaking the basketball board.

822,825,828,831,834,837!

822, 825, 828, 831, 834, 837!

When his score reached 837, the hands of the organizers were about to be crushed by each other.

And there were still two seconds left!

Whoosh!

Another shot. 840 points!

There were still 2 seconds left.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, everyone could hear Meng Fan breathe a sigh of relief. It was faint, but everyone was sure they heard it.

Then Meng Fan paused, turned around, and shook his arms!

Boom!

The crowd went wild!
