C39 A Longdistance Shot
Zhao Su commanded the system to activate the trigger point.
"Trigger point activated. Unlock method: Touch the basketball with your hand to receive a 100-point charisma reward!"
As expected, the trigger point was related to shooting.
Through his interactions with the system, Zhao Su had come to understand how its trigger points worked.
A trigger point would initiate a Connection through the object it was linked to.
However, this time the reward was particularly interesting—it was for charisma.
The referee blew the whistle.
The new basketball team members from the third grade's Class 6 stood at a distance, surrounding Zhao Su just like everyone else.
Despite being billed as a team event, the game was really just Zhao Su up against the school's elite Tiger Basketball Team!
"Zhao Su, you start with the ball. We don't want to be accused of bullying you!" the captain of the Tiger Basketball Team said magnanimously.
His comment was met with snickers from his teammates and jeers from the spectators.
"Big brother, go for it!"
Luo Yuyan's voice cut through the jeering, her confidence in Zhao Su unwavering.
Yao Xinran, along with a few classmates, tried to rally their support, but it was a feeble effort.
The crowd didn't seem to hold out much hope for Zhao Su.
In the Host's live stream chat room, viewers expressed their doubts.
"The Host probably can't do this."
"Just because he's good in a fight doesn't mean he's good at basketball!"
"It's going to be tough to beat those players."
"Host, better get ready to be carried off on a stretcher."
Zhao Su remained unfazed as he took the basketball from the referee.
He had been strategizing on how to get the ball, but unexpectedly, the Tiger Basketball Team's captain had delivered it straight to him.
With the ball in hand, Zhao Su allowed himself a small smile: "You asked for it, so don't complain when it feels like I'm bullying you."
The captain of the Tiger Basketball Team sneered, "What are you babbling about? If you can even touch the ball, I'll call you grandpa!"
At that moment, Zhao Su made his move.
"Brace yourselves on defense! I'm going to shut him out completely!" the captain of the Tiger Basketball Team gritted out.
"Don't worry, the moment he makes a move, I'll steal the ball. He won't even get a touch!" one of the players said confidently.
"Listen up, guys, when Zhao Su arrives, show no mercy. Look for an opportunity to knock him down. I'll slip each of you a grand for it afterward," the captain of the Tiger Basketball Team instructed.
"Got it!" all the team members agreed enthusiastically.
The Tiger Basketball Team readied themselves for the challenge.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhao Su raised his hand and effortlessly lobbed the ball.
The basketball sailed into the hoop on the Tiger Basketball Team's side.
He scored!
The referee's jaw dropped, and it stayed that way for an extended moment.
The captain of the Tiger Basketball Team was speechless.
The other members of the Tiger Basketball Team were just as shocked.
Luo Yuyan, Yao Xinran, and the rest of the audience in the stands, as well as the viewers at home watching the live broadcast, were all astounded.
No one had anticipated that Zhao Su would actually make the shot, especially since he shot from a stationary position!
A few seconds later, a massive cheer erupted from the stands.
The referee, with a stutter in his voice, shouted, "Class 6 of the third grade, an incredible long-distance shot, three points!"
"This is impossible!"
The captain of the Tiger Basketball Team watched Zhao Su in disbelief.
Zhao Su had indeed made the impossible possible!
