Chapter 406: Fu Zhi: It’s Showtime – 1

Chapter 407: Fu Zhi: It’s Showtime – 1

Fu Zhi looked as if she did not put much strength into the throw even though she was standing outside of the 3-point line.

There was a large difference between the strength of men and women, to begin with. Most of the untrained basketball players were unable to perform a 3-point shot, let alone throwing the ball in the opposite direction.

It took only a few seconds for Chen Shan to realize that Fu Zhi was performing the behind-the-back shot.

Generally, the best position to perform the behind-the-back shot was inside the 3-point line, and making a behind-the-back shot 25 meters outside of the 3-point line would break the Guinness record.

Even Chen Shan was not able to pull out that feat from Fu Zhi’s current position.

He felt Fu Zhi was messing around.

The students in the audience seat were dumbfounded as well. “What is Sister Zhi doing? Why doesn’t she pass the ball to Lu Yubai? It’s way too far to perform a behind-the-back shot from her position.”

Nobody answered his question.

The orange-colored ball flew through the air in a perfect arc towards the basketball hoop.

It was getting nearer and nearer to its destination with every passing second as everyone watched on.

“Boink!” It bounced off the backboard with a loud thud and fell on the hoop.

It circled around the hoop twice, and a few seconds later...

“Holy! It went in! The ball went in!” A burst of shouting erupted from the crowd.

“This is... unbelievable!”

“I strongly believe that Sister Zhi is not a human at all! She’s a superwoman!”

“Sister Zhi is the best! Attagirl, Sister Zhi!”

It had only been about 10 seconds since the match started until Fu Zhi scored the basket. She did not need any help from her teammates, and she could perform a behind-the-back shot without breaking any sweat. Initially, Song Fang thought he was going to be the one to save No.1 High School from disgrace, but...

‘I apologize for my foolish dream.’

Everything happened so fast. Before everyone realized anything, Fu Zhi had already scored a basket for No.1 High School, pulling the gap of the score between the two schools even wider.

The teachers from No.1 High School all clapped their hands.

“Excellent!”

“Good job, Fu Zhi!”

“See? This is the real deal. Unlike a certain group of people who only know how to play dirty.”

The cheerleading team of Hang Yuan fought back, “She’s just lucky. There’s nothing to be proud of!”

The insider knew the ropes, while the outsider just came along for the ride.

Chen Shan and his team were certain that it was not a lucky shot at all. After all, performing a behind-the-back shot from the center of the court was something that even professional athletes like them were unable to do. Perhaps some first-class basketball players might be able to pull that feat, but it was extremely rare.

It seemed to them that they had gravely underestimated Fu Zhi.

There were another 3 minutes to go before the first half of the match would end, but there was a 28-point difference between them.

The atmosphere on Hang Yuan’s side was grim.

Their coach shouted at the top of his lungs, “Gou Qi, you go watch that girl! Don’t let her get the ball!”

The one that Gou Qi was defending was Song Fan, and Song Fang had no idea why but he felt a little offended when he realized that a girl posed more threat than him to their opponent.

As such, he shouted, “I was a small forward too!”

Song Fang was sad, but it did not hinder his performance. After he got the ball, he immediately threw the ball to Fu Zhi.

Fu Zhi leaped into the air with a gentle tap of her feet and grabbed the ball. Then, she made a dummy move to confuse Gou Qi and ran past him.

This time, she came to the inside of the 3-point line.

Ye Jiu was being held back by two players, but at the same time, he was holding them back as well.

Right now, the only person who was blocking Fu Zhi was none other than the small forward of Hang Yuan, Chen Shan.

Song Fang wanted to help, but he was pinned down by Gou Qi. That was the location where Lu Yumo fell into Hang Yuan’s trap.

His heart leaped into his throat as he shouted, “Sister Zhi!”

Chen Shan remembered Ouyang Ya’s order and lifted his arm.

He was never an honest basketball player, despite him having a gentle face. He had been staying in Hang Yuan for a few years, and aside from his basketball skills, there were also other reasons why he could be the leader of Hang Yuan’s basketball team for so long.

Fu Zhi was dribbling the ball, releasing a series of rhythmic and loud thumping sounds into the air.

Chen Shan bent down and approached her, “You’re pretty good at dribbling the ball, but if you attempt to use the sound to intimidate me, I have to tell you that it won’t work on a professional athlete like me!”

Chen Shan stared at Fu Zhi.

Zhou Zihuai, Lu Yubai, and Ye Jiu were being occupied by Chen Shan’s teammates.

If Fu Zhi passed the ball now, there was a good chance the ball would be snatched away by them. As such, Chen Shan was pretty certain that Fu Zhi would make a shot given her current circumstances.

Chen Shan was right.

Fu Zhi took a step back and raised her leg slightly.

Everything was within his expectation, but Chen Shan had no idea why he had a feeling that Fu Zhi still had an ace up her sleeve.

After all, she was far smarter and more dangerous than Lu Yumo.

There were a lot of fake moves in basketball that a basketball player would use to confuse his or her opponent.

Chen Shan did not know if Fu Zhi would throw the ball or she would pass the ball to her teammates.

If she decided to pass the ball to her teammates, then who would she pass to? Lu Yubai? Zhou Zihuai? Or perhaps she and Ye Jiu were planning something, and Ye Jiu had been waiting for her to pass the ball to him the whole time? Or maybe she would pass the ball to Song Fang? After all, no one was guarding him right now.

Chen Shan’s brain was spinning fast like a top and it hurt him a lot.

There wasn’t much time for him to react. The first thing that popped up in his head was that Fu Zhi was a girl, and it was impossible that she would know any fake moves.

Therefore, he leaped up into the air and attempted to intercept Fu Zhi. Then, in the next second, Fu Zhi turned the ball in another direction.

‘She’s passing the ball?!’

Chen Shan’s heart skipped a beat.

Gou Qi hastily went to Song Fang’s side and gave Chen Shan an assuring smile.

However, all of them had read Fu Zhi wrongly.

Fu Zhi did not pass the ball to anyone. Instead, she threw the ball onto the ground.

Chen Shan had jumped into the air, but he had jumped too early.

The ball sprang up high into the air behind Fu Zhi’s back.

Almost at the same moment Chen Shan landed, Fu Zhi turned around and grabbed the ball. She inadvertently rammed her elbow into a hard object, and she heard a muffled moan.

Chen Shan covered his stomach with his hand, and it was only then he realized how painful Lu Yumo had felt.

The ball that Fu Zhi threw with one hand went through the hoop, and the first half of the match ended.

The referee blew the whistle.

Gou Qi and the other ran up to Chen Shan and helped him get up from the ground. His face was ashen pale from the pain.

Fu Zhi dusted her uniform, turned around, and looked at him with her brows raised, “Stop acting in front of me. When I was playing dirty in a basketball match, you’re still a toddler asking for milk.”

Song Fang was speechless.

‘Well, that’s quite something, but next time before you make that statement, can you please keep your milk bottle back into your bag first? It’s quite embarrassing, don’t you think?’

Gou Qi then said, “She beat our leader!”

“You can put whatever you want into your mouth, but you should be more mindful of what comes out of it,” Lu Yubai pointed at Fu Zhi, “When my sister was throwing the ball, your leader had to stand behind her and he nearly broke her arm. We haven’t said anything about it yet, and you guys dare to say she hit him?”
