The two men stood at the center of the court with the ball in Zhang Yu Han's hand. He bounced the ball a few times on the floor and passed it to Wei Jun Hao. "Alright, what are the rules?"
Wei Jun Hao raised a brow at his question. "What rules?"
"You come here and suddenly asked me for a match… don't tell me that you did not have any other intention," Zhang Yu Han said. "Come on. What do you want?"
Wei Jun Hao hesitated as he heard his friend's words. After a while, he then spoke, "I'll tell you if I win."
"What are you being so secretive about?" Zhang Yu Han scoffed. "Alright, then, if I win, Wei Jun Hao, you will go to L City in my stead and handle the agreement with MH."
Wei Jun Hao threw the ball with force to Zhang Yu Han, but he caught it with perfection. "You know that I cannot defeat you in basketball and you still make this kind of request."
Zhang Yu Han shrugged as he bounced the ball a few times. "It wouldn't be fair if you're the only one who can make a request. So? Are we playing or not?"
Wei Jun Hao glanced at both Zhang Yu Ying who stood at the side to watch and clenched his fist. "Of course we are. Come on."
A smile curved on his lips and Zhang Yu Han bounced the ball as he ran around the court, while Wei Jun Hao ran was in his defensive position.
Wei Jun Hao was determined not to let Zhang Yu Han score the first point!
The first thing he needed to do if he wanted to win was to grab the ball from Zhang Yu Han.
After playing basketball with him for years, Wei Jun Hao understood Zhang Yu Han well and knew that he will run around the court to tire him out before he shot the ball.
"The first person who scored fifteen points will win this match, alright?" Zhang Yu Han said.
Wei Jun Hao had the urge to cry. He knew that Zhang Yu Han will be able to score those points in a short time. However, if he scored first, it will be easier for him to win. Anyway, if he had to compete with this former captain for a long duration, Wei Jun Hao knew for sure that he will not be able to catch up.
"Alright," Wei Jun Hao hissed through his teeth.
Just as he finished the word, Zhang Yu Han jumped up and shot the ball into the hoop. As the ball entered the hoop, Wei Jun Hao felt a stab of pain in his heart.
It was a three-pointer shot! Can he not be so ruthless right from the start?
At the side, both Li Qin Yao and Zhang Yu Ying stood to watch the match anxiously. A gasp escaped their mouth as Zhang Yu Han scored. Li Qin Yao turned to her sister-in-law and tugged at her sleeve. "Yu Ying. What's the score?"
"It was a three-pointer!" Zhang Yu Ying said with disbelief. "Sister-in-law, will Brother Jun Hao lose this match like this? How can my brother be so heartless to score a three-pointer one minute into the game?"
Li Qin Yao turned to Zhang Yu Ying and the corner of her lips tilted up.
In the end, this girl was hoping for Wei Jun Hao to win?
However, when she turned her attention back to the court, Li Qin Yao stared at her husband in disbelief. Although she could not help but think of how handsome he looked as he jumped and shot the ball into the hoop, she too found that it was too much for him to bully Wei Jun Hao right from the start.
Li Qin Yao watched the match again. Her eyes were glued to her husband who was now in a defensive position.
This time, Wei Jun Hao was dribbling the ball left and right as he searched for an opportunity to break into Zhang Yu Han's defense and shoot the ball. He needed to shoot the ball before he lost the chance to date the woman he had been trying to pursue for years.
Zhang Yu Han saw the expression on his friend's face and thought that it was a bit strange. He had been playing with and against Wei Jun Hao for years and this was the first time that he had seen such determination in his eyes.
Zhang Yu Han thought about the request that Wei Jun Hao was going to make and wondered what will it be.
Seeing the slight distraction in Zhang Yu Han's part, Wei Jun Hao finally found his opportunity. He ran with the ball and jumped. This time, Wei Jun Hao made a slam dunk!
The two girls on the side gasped again. Zhang Yu Ying thought that the slam dunk was beautiful. She subconsciously shook Li Qin Yao's arms and spoke with a wavering voice. "S-sister-in-law. He scored!"
Li Qin Yao watched the excitement in Zhang Yu Ying's expression and patted at her hand, trying to ease her emotion.
"Yu Ying!"
Suddenly, Zhang Yu Han's deep voice could be heard.
Li Qin Yao turned to her husband and saw his disapproving frown.
"Be careful." Zhang Yu Han pointed towards his wife and the girls immediately knew that he saw the way Zhang Yu Ying shook his wife's arms frantically and was worried.
Zhang Yu Ying quickly composed herself and apologized.
After ten minutes, both men were panting to catch their breath. Of course, Zhang Yu Han was in a better condition than Wei Jun Hao.
Wei Jun Hao stared at the ball in Zhang Yu Han's hand and gritted his teeth. Zhang Yu Han needed one more two-point shot to win the game, while Wei Jun Hao needed six points to win.
It was unfair.
Although Li Qin Yao had tried to distract her husband a few times, it has only worked twice. It seemed that Zhang Yu Han's concentration was just too good.
Or perhaps, she did not try enough?
As Li Qin Yao was deep in her thought, Wei Jun Hao had tricked Zhang Yu Han and jumped to shot a three-pointer.
Wei Jun Hao exhaled loudly as he watched the ball entered the hoop.
Now, he needed to score three more points and he can start dating the person he liked for years!
Even if he was not as good as Zhang Yu Han at scoring a three-pointer, Wei Jun Hao was determined to make this one shot and end the game between them.
