Chapter 399: Awesome One vs Five

Ye Bufan said, “Crazy or not, we’ll know after we play.”

The other provincial team members nearby were all furious; this was clearly a display of contempt towards them.

Just as Fang Shijiang was about to erupt, Hao Dayong waved his hand to stop him, then said, “Young man, since you’re so confident, how about we make a bet?”

“Alright, tell me, how do we bet?”

Hao Dayong said, “If you lose, immediately give up your work here and join our provincial team. I guarantee I can make you a main player.”

His words were certainly not baseless. Just based on Ye Bufan’s previous move—a super long-distance tomahawk dunk from the free-throw line—he displayed astonishing strength.

His incredible leaping ability and excellent flexibility, despite his lack of brute strength, these qualities combined were enough to make him a main player for any team.

However, as soon as he spoke, it immediately caused a huge stir, and the people watching around the court instantly became excited.

It’s important to know that the Jiangnan Province Basketball Team was once the champion team of all Huaxia, and this year they also had great hope of winning the C League championship. It was precisely because of this that Liang Zhijie was extremely eager to join.

But the situation was now very awkward: the one who wanted to join was rejected, while Ye Bufan, a teacher, received an invitation.

From another perspective, although the two of them hadn’t yet competed, he had already lost, and lost completely.

Chang Hao’s expression grew even uglier. He had tried every possible means to kick Ye Bufan out of school, but before his plan could succeed, the other party had already found his next destination.

Moreover, whether it was income or social recognition, a main player in the provincial team was definitely much more glorious than a teacher at their school.

Of course, others were also aware of this situation, especially the female students of Grade Two, Class Five, who cheered him on with full force.

Ye Bufan, however, showed no sign of excitement, and calmly said, “What if you lose?”

Hao Dayong said, “If we lose, we will immediately apologize to Liang Zhijie, and at the same time, give him another assessment opportunity three months later.”

Ye Bufan said without hesitation, “Deal. We can start now.”

Hearing the stakes of the bet, a complex look flashed in Liang Zhijie’s eyes. Deep down, he extremely yearned to join the provincial team, but the recent assessment had made him see the gap between himself and a true provincial team member.

Hao Dayong led his people back to the basketball court and threw the basketball to Ye Bufan.

Since it was one against five, they still chose a half-court game. The rules were simple and direct: whoever shoots.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Whoever scores gets the point.

“We’ll play to 20 points for the win. Whoever reaches it first wins.” Hao Dayong tossed the basketball to Ye Bufan, “You’re one person, you go first.”

After saying that, he assumed a defensive stance, his expression incredibly serious.

Normally, no matter how good Ye Bufan was, he couldn’t possibly play against five people alone. Even if Jordan came to Huaxia, he couldn’t win this game.

For some reason, facing this Young man, a strange pressure suddenly grew in his heart, making him much more cautious.

Outside the court, although the female students of Grade Two, Class Five also thought it was impossible for Ye Bufan to win the game, they still cheered him on enthusiastically.

Chang Hao curled his lips and sneered, “He really thinks he’s amazing just because he can play basketball. One against five, challenging the provincial team. If you’re so capable, why don’t you ascend to the heavens?”

Yu Wanlu happened to be standing next to him and, unable to tolerate it, said, “Director Chang, you can’t speak so absolutely. What if Teacher Ye wins?”

“He can win?” Chang Hao said with a face full of disdain, “I’ll say it right now, if he wins, I’ll immediately eat this basketball.”

On the court, the game officially began. Ye Bufan took the ball, bounced it, looked at the five people standing ready, smiled slightly, and suddenly took the basketball back into his hands.

At this, everyone’s expression changed. According to basketball rules, once the ball is taken into the hands, it cannot be dribbled again, and he had no teammates to pass to. What was he going to do? Was he going to shoot from so far away?

One must know that his feet were still within the free-throw line. Unless he was crazy, no one would shoot from such a long distance.

Facts proved that there was nothing they couldn’t imagine that Ye Bufan couldn’t do.

At that moment, he raised the ball high with both hands, flicked his wrist gently, and the basketball swished, drawing an arc as it flew towards the hoop.

“Let me show you what a true three-pointer is!”

Hao Dayong’s pupils constricted. He never expected the opponent to start shooting immediately.

The other few people also turned their heads to look towards the backboard. Two of the closest players even prepared to rebound.

But they thought too much. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and swished through the net without touching the rim, let alone giving them a chance to rebound.

“Uh…”

The five of Hao Dayong were all startled. No one expected Ye Bufan’s super long-distance shot to actually go in.

The score on the court was 3:0!

“Long live Teacher Ye, Teacher Ye is too amazing, Teacher Ye, I love you…”

Around the court, thunderous applause erupted, and all the female students of Grade Two, Class Five began to cheer for Ye Bufan.

Xiao Maque said to Ai Meili, “Isn’t Hao Dayong your idol? Why are you cheering for the teacher?”

Ai Meili said with excitement, “From now on, Teacher Ye is my idol, only one, no second!”

Beside her, Chang Hao’s face instantly became incredibly ugly, as if he had been slapped hard.

Fortunately, everyone was cheering for Ye Bufan, and no one paid attention to him.

He clenched his fists and said indignantly, “What’s so great about it? It was just a lucky shot. I don’t believe you can make a second one.”

Offense and defense rotated. This time, it was the provincial team’s turn to attack.

Hao Dayong threw the basketball to Fang Shijiang and reminded him, “Be careful, don’t be careless.”

“Don’t worry, boss, playing basketball isn’t just about shooting three-pointers!”

Fang Shijiang was full of defiance. In his opinion, that shot was entirely luck, just a lucky three-pointer, and such a situation couldn’t happen a second time.

So, after the tip-off, he didn’t pass the ball to anyone else but dribbled it himself for a Breakthrough.

In the provincial team, he played power forward, and dribbling for a Breakthrough was his specialty.

But just as he was dribbling for a Breakthrough, his hands suddenly felt light, and the basketball was already in Ye Bufan’s hands without him knowing when.

“Too slow to react!”

This was Fang Shijiang’s recent evaluation of Liang Zhijie, and now it was perfectly applied to his own head.

Ye Bufan successfully stole the ball, and without any hesitation, he took another three-point shot. Swish, the basketball went through the net again without touching the rim.

The score on the court was 6:0.

“Good! Long live Teacher Ye! Teacher Ye is so great!”

Another wave of cheers and shouts rose like a mountain and a tsunami. This time, it wasn’t just the female students of Grade Two, Class Five, but even the male students joined the cheering.

Wu Zihao said, “Where did this monster come from? I didn’t expect him to be so good at basketball too!”

Zhu Mingyu’s mouth twitched, and he said nonchalantly, “It’s just a basketball game, no need to be so serious. It won’t change anything.”

On the court, Hao Dayong and the others’ faces were burning, their expressions incredibly ugly. Five against one, and they were down 6:0.

As members of the provincial team, they truly felt disgraced.
