Ye Zhi lowered her head in disappointment as Gu Ren caught a glimpse of Ye Zhi’s expression and said in a low voice, “It doesn’t matter, you did a good job.”
Ye Zhi looked up and saw Gu Ren’s eyes that shone with a starking deep light, “You managed to shoot all three shots; that accuracy rate is already sky high.”
At this time, Gu Ren slightly raised his jaw and his eyes were extremely bright, contrasting their deepness, “We exceeded the time, so what? We have a second chance anyways.”
Gu Ren said the next sentence word by word, “Who’s to say that we wouldn’t succeed in our second challenge?”
The negative emotions in Ye Zhi’s heart dissipated as the corners of her lips lifted, “We will definitely succeed.”
After Ye Zhi and Gu Ren discussed their tactics further, they decided to switch roles for the second try— Ye Zhi would drive while Gu Ren was in charge of shooting the ball.
Gu Ren lowered his eyes and pondered. In order to save time, he should not open the door to get out of the car, which meant that the best way to complete the challenge was to make the basket directly from the car.
However, the technical requirements for the shooter to score were relatively high. Compared with shooting the ball from the ground, the body was prone to lose its balance when done in a car.
Finally, the light refocused on Gu Ren’s hands as he clasped the basketball in his hands, staring straight ahead for a brief moment.
Gu Ren threw it forward gently and the basketball flew out of his hand, drawing a smooth and perfect arc in the air, as if a blue bird swiftly swept across the azure sky.
The basketball slammed itself straight onto the backboard. The same time as a dull sound rang out, the basketball shifted inwards by a few centimetres and fell into the net without error.
With a few sounds of flaps from the netting, the basketball fell vertically and hit the ground.
The whole area was silent.
Gu Ren’s thin lips hooked lightly— he took an extremely risky method, but he succeeded.
He managed to shoot and score the first basket.
The moment Gu Ren’s basketball entered the net, the barrage poured out frantically.
