Chapter 185: Pretend to be a Pig, Eat a tiger, and shock the audience

Chapter 185

The second half of the game begins.

When Qiao Ying leads the team onto the court and stands in the center forward position opposite Chen Sheng, all the students in the stands look over.

"What's the meaning of this? Is Qiao Ying going to play? And as a center forward? Are they kidding? Are they still going to play or not?"

"Right, what's going on here? I specifically skipped my afternoon classes to watch this, I came to see them play ball not..."

"Are they just giving up and letting school belle Qiao Ying go up there to mess around? What happened to school spirit from previous years when they may have lost more than they won but at least they tried?"

"Huo Chengdong really dotes on Qiao Ying too much, so envious!"

"I've realized you girls' minds work strangely! Forget it, not watching anymore, screw this. What a waste of time."

"Oh well, they were going to lose anyway, at least watching the goddess play ball is easy on the eyes. Our side has better looks at least, and who knows, this could be a honey trap!"

The heated discussion and mixture of cowardly yet foul-mouthed curses from the stands causes a commotion.

If it weren't for the few authoritative figures behind Qiao Ying and Huo Chengdong, plus Qiao Ying's looks that they can't bear to insult, they would only dare to vent a little before bottling up their dissatisfaction. If it were anyone else down there, the students in the stands would be pelting them with bottled water.

Seeing Capital University apparently giving up, the students from the visiting school gleefully watch the drama unfold: "Ha? Are they just admitting defeat?"

Chen Sheng glances at the noisy stands and says to Qiao Ying, who is nearly a head shorter than him: "Have you played basketball before?"

Qiao Ying: "I can pick things up quickly."

Chen Sheng laughs: "As you said earlier, physical contact is inevitable in basketball. If you fall or cry after losing later, Master Qin won't blame us right?"

Qiao Ying: "If you're getting cold feet, you can admit defeat now."

Otherwise you'll only lose more badly later.

Chen Sheng: "You're not part of the wager, so I'll be less motivated. Why not increase the stakes some more?"

Huo Chengdong: "Has that filthy mouth of yours been used before? It'll be useless after you use it up! Enough already!"

Qiao Ying: "What could you possibly offer?"

Chen Sheng: "If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me, but if I win, can we sincerely become friends?"

Before Qiao Ying can respond,

Huo Chengdong spits disdainfully: "You think you deserve that? You really have no fear, daring to dig at Qin Hanyue's corners."

Of course Chen Sheng doesn't actually dare to go after Qin Hanyue. He sincerely wants to befriend Qiao Ying - what guy wouldn't want an attractive female friend with these kinds of powerful connections?

Qiao Ying: "If you can steal the ball from me, I'll admit defeat."

At this, Huo Chengdong and several teammates immediately stare at her in shock.

Chen Sheng and his teammates directly laugh out loud.

His teammates hurriedly ask Huo Chengdong for help: "Bro Cheng, say something, how is this still a game? We've already lost."

Qiao Ying leisurely walks back, glancing at Huo Chengdong as she reminds him: "Close your mouth."

Chen Sheng's teammate asks: "I thought she doesn't know how to play basketball?"

Chen Sheng doesn't respond. Just watching Qiao Ying return, he says: "I was careless just now."

Chen Sheng realizes he's been tricked. Qiao Ying can play basketball, and pretty decently too.

Feeling furious at being toyed with yet not finding it too difficult, he instead wants to mock Qiao Ying's side for utilizing this kind of bait and switch tactic to make them lower their guard.

Since he didn't get a clear look at Qiao Ying's earlier display of skill, Chen Sheng doesn't think much of it. No matter her height or arm strength, Qiao Ying is at a disadvantage. He simply let his guard down and allowed her to seize the opportunity.

Chen Sheng stops looking down on Qiao Ying and gets serious.

But clearly, he completely underestimates Qiao Ying's ability.

This time it's their ball out. It's a prime chance to score. Just as the ball is about to sail cleanly into the hoop,

Qiao Ying charges out and bats the ball away.

"Holy crap! What bounce! Does she have springs in her feet?"

"That speed, she must have a speed hack!"

The students in the stands gradually get fired up.

On court,

Qiao Ying once again seizes the ball. Effortlessly dodging their defense, she breaks away from the crowd's enclosure. With an easy leap, she accurately shoots and scores.

Chen Sheng and Huo Chengdong have barely taken two steps forward and haven't fully jumped by the time the ball swishes into the basket.

This time many people see it clearly. The students aren't keeping their cool anymore: "I knew it! No way she wouldn't know how to play when going on court."

"You call this knowing how to play ball? More like she's smurfing!" The minority who were prepared to leave in a huff also sit back down in their seats.

After yet another stunned pause, Huo Chengdong laughs:"No need to strip us anymore. We're in for a show. Liven up everyone!"

He says to Qiao Ying walking back: "Sis Ying, you little minx, always fooling with us! I knew you'd be able to do it after showing off last time."

Qiao Ying: She really doesn't know how.

Chen Sheng's expression turns solemn as he orders his teammates: "Guard closely. She's too fast. Whoever catches up must lock her down."

Chen Sheng refuses to give up. He still feels that he had simply let his guard down earlier and got affected by the bet and Qiao Ying's "deception". His attention was disrupted and couldn't concentrate.

Chen Sheng prepares to give his all.

Thinking nothing else would go wrong this time, Qiao Ying's jumping ability shocks everyone once again.

Stealing the ball, dribbling, evading, and accurately shooting - connecting 3 consecutive shots. Chen Sheng fails to snatch the ball from Qiao Ying every time. Other teammates trying desperately to mark Qiao Ying can't even touch a thread of her clothes.

Their speed simply can't keep up.

The students in the stands become increasingly engaged.
