Chapter 52. Hook Over.

The whistle sounded and the scorer started again. Both players had just torn their faces apart, so they didn’t bother to pretend and didn’t look good to each other. Chen Du’s aura was very different from earlier. He was faster and more powerful, with all his strength sticking out and playing tricks.

He did all sorts of tricks, hooking the ball, turning the ball upside down, throwing the ball in a precise arc, making both teams dazzled and full of questions.

The third year team thought to themselves, “What the hell is this stinky boy up to? What kind of underworld tricks are these, and where is the peacock opening screen here?”

The first year’s team’s own people thought to themselves, “Have you changed your tactics?” Why are you suddenly pressing forward? So are you going to follow the captain’s lead? Ah wait, please let me get ready!”

The style of the court suddenly changed. The ball was flying back and forth at an extremely fast and tricky angle on the court. The youthful figures shuttled in the ball’s shadow recklessly. Chen Du and team members could basically fix each other’s positions with a glance out of the corners of their eyes. As he ran, his blood seemed to be burning, all for the audience standing on the rooftop.

Lin Feng snatched the ball in one hand, threw it on reflex towards Chen Du, and roared as he slipped,”Ah-“

The ball flew like it was doing acrobatics, and Chen Du was circling the bunch of mad dogs with ease, even a bit crazier than the mad dogs. Just now, he had the misanthropic look of a world-weary old man, but now he was drilling where there were many people, then cutting them apart like a fish. He ran a few steps to the basket, flying up for another dunk.

“F*ck!” His teammates came around, and Chen Du received several slaps on his back, staggering a few steps before standing firm and pinned to the ground.

He looked up at the rooftop.

Chen Jiashu held up a fist with a bang bang candy in her mouth and gestured at him from afar to give him a thumbs up.

Halfway through, she withdrew it and gave him a disdainful long finger with a flick of his wrist.

Chen Du withdrew his gaze and the open screen closed.

“F*ck! Where the f*ck are you driving? A tank?” The Ban Cun was stunned for a long time, but he didn’t say it to Chen Du. The boy was like a loach. His indignant voice yelled at his teammates, “Quickly, cut it!”

All of them came around, blocking him like a brick wall, and their hands went to grab the ball from Chen Du’s hand, or at least to kill his time.

Chen Du winked at Xue Yaoqi across a small part of the court and reacted quite quickly, dodging several surprise attacks in quick succession. The basketball was like a yo-yo off the line in his arms before he suddenly struck out, sending the ball flying with a slap before the Ban Cun was about to snag it.

“Boom—” The basketball flew out swiftly amidst the stunned and disoriented eyes of several people. Xue Yaoqi jumped up to catch it, dribbled and ran before he changed trajectory some distance away. Then, he threw it in the opposite direction towards his teammates, running and leaping back and forth several times. The ball returned to Chen Du. He was already at the point, calculated the angle, and easily threw the ball into the basket.

“Fourteen points.” Chen Du landed back on the ground and turned to run back. His faint voice fanned past Ban Cun’s ears in the wind.

The score kept getting bigger and bigger, and there was little doubt that the first-year team was going to win, while the third-years were a typical tiger with a fierce mouth and an output of two hundred and fifty. If they said that the first time was a coincidence, the second time certainly could not be. A dish was a dish.

Lin Feng, also under siege for the millionth time, guessed on instinct. He hooked his hand back and the ball went out to the left back.

Chen Du ran and caught it and followed it up with a three-point jumper. The circular trajectory ended with the basketball falling back through the net.

“Three points! Can can can, win win!”

Chen Du’s shoes floated back to the ground, and he sweated as he turned his gaze to the rooftop once more.

Chen Jiashu was still there. Snow-skinned and black-haired, wearing her school uniform. Her collar was deliberately pulled down to reveal a bit of her collarbone, pure and charming.

She raised her hand to him. This time, it was her index finger, a lily-white one from afar, and she bent it upwards and inwards…

Come here.
