Chapter 85

"Go, Class 3! Go, Class 3!"

Seeing the team's morale rise, Bao Xiangxin led the cheerleading squad in a loud cheer. Unfortunately, her encouragement was in vain.

In the next play, Class 6 passed the ball to their center, Man Dezhe. Man Dezhe feinted and then passed to the small forward who had slipped along the baseline. Class 3's small forward, Cen Gang, had missed his man, allowing the opponent to score easily with a layup.

The score was 4-2!

Class 3 took the ball, and Qiu Chengwang drove into the paint, but was blocked by Man Dezhe, forcing him to pass back to Xun Hong. Xun Hong shot immediately, but the ball hit the rim and bounced out, landing on the other side of the court, where it was picked up by the opposing shooting guard.

Class 6 immediately launched a fast break, with the point guard, Xi Weicheng, sprinting to the basket. After receiving the pass, he made a simple layup, scoring another two points!

The score was 6-2!

"Ah!" Gu Xiaoyan frowned. If this continued, the game would surely end in a crushing defeat, just like last Friday!

Bao Xiangxin, however, did not lose heart. She encouraged the team from the sidelines, "Everyone, stay calm! Go, Class 3!"

Unfortunately, the gap in skill was too great, and the situation could not be stabilized. On the next offensive play, Qiu Chengwang missed his shot, and after Man Dezhe grabbed the rebound, Class 6 launched another fast break, making the score 8-2!

...

At this moment, in the office of the teaching building, Class 3's homeroom teacher, Luo Xiaoyao, had just seen off Liu Tian's parents and was sitting at her desk, frowning as she drank water.

"Teacher Luo, you're too soft-hearted. A student like Liu Tian, just writing a self-criticism and it's all over?" Class 1's homeroom teacher, Quan Ziqi, asked casually.

"What else can I do? His parents have already scolded him, and he said he won't do it again," Luo Xiaoyao whispered.

"He won't do it again? That's like the sun rising in the west!" the class teacher, Wang, shook his head and sighed.

"Enough, everyone, stop talking. Teacher Luo has already dealt with it," Fei Rui'an waved his hand at the others. "Actually, Liu Tian has always been a good student; it's just that he was led astray by Li Yi. Li Yi must be expelled to set an example. If Liu Tian sees Li Yi expelled, he will surely feel the loss and improve."

"That makes sense," Quan Ziqi nodded in agreement.

Tong Gexiao had just returned to the office and frowned upon hearing this. Although Li Yi's joke in the previous class had made her very angry, he had saved her before and displayed remarkable abilities that impressed her.

"Teacher Fei, let Teacher Luo handle her class's affairs. Why do you always meddle? I think Li Yi is a good student."

Fei Rui'an was taken aback; he never expected the usually strict Teacher Tong to speak up for Li Yi multiple times!

"Teacher Tong, what do you mean? I'm just trying to help Teacher Luo."

Quan Ziqi added, "Teacher Tong, that's not right. Li Yi disrespected his elders and even attacked a teacher in the office. You saw it yourself. If we don't expel such a student, the school can't function!"

"Enough, everyone, stop talking!" Luo Xiaoyao felt frustrated and walked out with her water cup.

The last class was the time for the class basketball game. This wasn't a major event, and most homeroom teachers didn't bother to watch. Only responsible teachers like Tong Gexiao occasionally dropped by.

However, Luo Xiaoyao enjoyed participating in class activities. Even though Class 3's team played poorly, she always attended every game, cheering from the cheerleading squad.

When Luo Xiaoyao arrived at the basketball court, she saw Li Yi, wearing the number 24 jersey, standing in the paint, facing off against Man Dezhe.

"He's actually playing here?"

Luo Xiaoyao wanted to talk to Li Yi again, but seeing him playing for the class, she decided to wait.

Although Li Yi was tall, he was much shorter compared to the 1.9-meter-tall school team center. Seeing him fight for position against such a giant, inch by inch, Luo Xiaoyao felt a warm current in her heart.

"His grades may be poor, but he has his shining moments, like playing hard for the class. Students are in their rebellious phase, but that doesn't mean they are beyond saving. I can't give up on any of them!"

With this thought, Luo Xiaoyao felt much better. She straightened up and shouted, "Go, Class 3!"

"Wow, Teacher Luo is here!"

"Hello, Teacher!"

The Class 3 cheerleading squad cheered in unison.

"Hello, everyone!" Luo Xiaoyao nodded at the crowd and then asked Bao Xiangxin, "How is the game going?"

Bao Xiangxin pointed to the scoreboard with a helpless look. It read 16-2. No need to ask, the 2 was obviously Class 3's score.

"Don't worry, friendship first, game second!" Luo Xiaoyao put on an indifferent face, but she felt a bit awkward inside.

Other homeroom teachers didn't even bother to watch the games, and their classes always won. She always came to watch, but her class always lost badly.

What kind of situation is this?

Am I a natural jinx?

"Huo Lan Ying, your brother's class is getting crushed!" Huo Lan Ying whispered.

"Pfft, my brother is just letting them win," Li Ting said nonchalantly.

Just a few days ago, she had seen Li Yi punch through a dumbbell at home. She didn't believe he was only this good!

"Li Yi, stop faking and play properly!" she shouted at the court.

Li Yi wasn't really participating much in the game, just subtly helping Kou Xingyuan. With his abilities, if he really played, no one would get the ball. Hearing Li Ting's complaint, he put on a helpless look and said, "Sis, I'm doing my best."

"Embarrassing!" Li Ting covered her face.

"You're getting worse and worse, can't even do this?" Qiu Chengwang took the opportunity to mock him.

Li Yi ignored him and focused on defense.

"Enough, less talk!" Shao Yong shouted.

Kou Xingyuan was very unhappy. Although their class had a huge lead thanks to several smooth fast breaks, it had nothing to do with him. He didn't realize that Li Yi was subtly helping him, only thinking that he was too fat and slow to participate in the offense.

But with his big brother and a beautiful girl watching and cheering for him, this performance was unacceptable.

"Give me the ball!" Kou Xingyuan shouted loudly.

"Right, Xingyuan, score one, and we'll take a photo of you!" Qi Minzhi called from the sidelines.

Ren Qiaoyi didn't say anything but raised her camera.

Seeing Kou Xingyuan asking for the ball, Shao Yong quickly moved to guard him. However, as soon as Kou Xingyuan received the ball, he charged forward with full force!

"Bang!"

The 200-pound big guy, charging with all his might, was unstoppable. Shao Yong, who had just moved to guard him, was knocked three meters away and fell to the ground!

"Whoosh!"

The moment Shao Yong was knocked down, the referee's whistle blew, calling a blocking foul on the defense! Two free throws!

"Are you okay?" Li Yi walked over to Shao Yong and helped him up.

Shao Yong, feeling depressed, patted the dirt off his clothes and said, "I'm fine."

Kou Xingyuan, having knocked someone down and earned two free throws, was extremely pleased. Seeing Li Yi approach, he remembered the block he had just received and extended his middle finger, saying, "Idiot, next one is for you!"

Li Yi frowned and said to Shao Yong, "Let's switch defenses!"

As the emperor of the empire, how could he let such a lowly person repeatedly insult him? It seemed that subtly helping him wasn't enough; he needed to make him suffer openly.

"Um..." Shao Yong was hesitant. Man Dezhe, who he was guarding, was actually stronger, just not showing it. Switching defenses wouldn't give him an advantage.

But Kou Xingyuan, hearing Li Yi's words, smiled and said, "Come on, watch me blow you up!"

Seeing Kou Xingyuan's arrogance, Shao Yong felt angry and nodded, "Alright, you guard him."

Kou Xingyuan then calmly made both free throws, making the score 18-2, leaving no doubt about the outcome of the game.

Ren Qiaoyi stood bored on the sidelines, playing with her camera, ready to take a photo of Kou Xingyuan scoring and then leave. Although she didn't find the fat guy's scoring particularly interesting, she had to give Qi Minzhi some face.

Kou Xingyuan, understanding that his big brother and Ren Qiaoyi were watching him, called for the ball in the next play, "Give it to me, give it to me!"

With the ball in hand, he turned and looked at Li Yi with a contemptuous glance, saying, "Idiot, watch this!"

He squatted, stuck out his butt, and pushed back hard. This standard post move was something Kou Xingyuan was very good at. Anyone lighter than him would be pushed away easily.

However, this time, after pushing back twice, he found that Li Yi didn't move at all. He couldn't help but snort and shot the ball!

Not even daring to push back, and still trying to guard me, what a fool!

The shot was easy and smooth, and Ren Qiaoyi steadied her camera, ready to take the photo.

But at that moment, Li Yi finally pounced!

Just as Kou Xingyuan released the ball, Li Yi's hand, like a hammer from the sky, firmly slapped the basketball away!

"Bang!"

"Wow, great block!" Ren Qiaoyi cheered.

What luck, another smooth block shot!

Looking closely at Li Yi in the photo, he seemed even more handsome than before!

"Ha ha ha!" Shao Yong laughed wildly at seeing Kou Xingyuan get blocked.

He had just been knocked to the ground by Kou Xingyuan, and Li Yi had avenged him!

"Damn!"

Getting blocked twice, Kou Xingyuan's face was red with embarrassment. His big brother had brought Ren Qiaoyi to watch his game, and he was making a fool of himself?

"Give me the ball!" the fat guy roared.
