C41 He Closed His Eyes and Shot a Shot
"Zhao Su scores for the third-grade Class 6!"
The referee handed the basketball to Zhao Su, who had been previously referred to as just third-grade Class 6, but now he was called by his name.
After all, it was Zhao Su who had been shooting, passing, and scoring the entire time!
He was single-handedly dominating the game, reducing the others to mere spectators.
Zhao Su took the basketball and gave a slight smile to the Tiger Basketball Team.
That smile sent a shiver through every member of the Tiger Basketball Team.
They had vowed to let nothing by, yet Zhao Su had just made a long-distance shot in the blink of an eye.
It was an embarrassing moment for them.
Having seen Zhao Su's shooting skills, they all felt unnerved.
"I hope Zhao Su will move around a bit," the captain of the Tiger Basketball Team silently prayed.
If Zhao Su moved, they might have a chance, but if he made another long-distance shot, they'd be out of luck.
The whistle sounded.
Zhao Su raised his hand and gently lobbed the ball.
He scored once more!
Each member of the Tiger Basketball Team cursed under their breath.
The referee announced, "Third-grade Class 6, Zhao Su! His long-distance shot is good for three points!"
Cheers filled the arena.
"Referee, I have to object! This isn't fair! You should make Zhao Su move!" the captain of the Tiger Basketball Team complained.
"The rules don't forbid a player from shooting while stationary; it's within his rights," the referee countered.
He was clearly supportive of Zhao Su.
The referee, a school gym teacher, had never seen such a promising young player and took a special interest in him.
"However, with Zhao Su shooting like this, there's no real competition, and it goes against the spirit of the game. We protest!" the captain of the Tiger Basketball Team declared.
Under his leadership, the whole team joined in the protest.
The referee looked at them with disdain.
The students in the stands booed.
Luo Yuyan frowned and remarked, "These people are awful. They can't beat big brother, so they claim it's unfair! They're shameless!"
The audience watching the live stream also expressed their displeasure.
"Good job, Host. Those Tiger Basketball Team players are the real losers!"
"How shameless of them! They lost fair and square, and now they're calling foul?"
"If they can't accept defeat, they shouldn't play. They lack any sense of sportsmanship."
"I have absolutely no respect for them!"
"Don't worry, Host. We're all behind you!"
"Coins Eat Sugar sends 100 fish balls!"
"Amazing Third Master tips a yacht!"
The energy in Zhao Su's live stream skyrocketed as his Fan Value hit 600,000.
Zhao Su picked up the basketball again, looking over at the Tiger Basketball Team and said, "If you're not convinced, I'll make you believe wholeheartedly."
The captain of the Tiger Basketball Team quickly retorted, "What do you have in mind?"
With a calm demeanor, Zhao Su replied, "I'll shoot the basketball with my eyes closed."
"What? He's going to shoot blindfolded?"
The crowd was stunned.
The referee warned, "Zhao Su, you might want to take back what you said. No one can make a basket with their eyes closed."
Zhao Su shook his head confidently and said, "I've made up my mind. If I miss this shot, the Tiger Basketball Team wins the game."
The captain of the Tiger Basketball Team immediately accepted, "Alright, that's the deal! And no second thoughts!"
The referee sighed but said nothing.
He had seen many students with great potential fall due to their arrogance.
The referee felt that Zhao Su's actions were a sign of excessive pride, and he feared that this time, Zhao Su might be facing a setback.
