Chapter 42 - Devious

Gu Nanyu's teammate snapped his fingers at her, praising her for her good move.

Then, he whistled and waved at Gu Nanyu, signaling her to pass the ball to him.

Realizing the meaning behind his action, Gu Nanyu pushed the ball to pass it over.

She threw the ball in a fairly decent way, coupling with her good looks, her movement looked quite dashing.

However...

The ball fell down halfway through the pass.

The crowd was silent.

In all matches they watched, this was a scene that surprised them the most.

He doesn't even know how to pass the ball?

When did First Senior High School's basketball team become such a noob?

Her teammates could not help but slap their foreheads while the opposing team was in utter shock. They thought they would have no chance at all once the ball was passed to Ling Xiuqi. To their awe, the player who passed the ball actually passed it to the floor!

The ball rolled to the feet of the opposing team's captain. He bowed down to pick up the ball and started running to the other side of the court.

He scored a point before Ling Xiuqi's team could react to the situation.

At this moment, Ling Xiuqi went to Gu Nanyu and whispered, "It's fine. It's just one point."

Gu Nanyu knew he was just consoling her. Ling Xiuqi's team had never lost a point before this.

It was not long before the team members bucked up and regrouped.

When the second ball started, Ling Xiuqi went ahead and grabbed the ball.

The final result was clear as day once the ball was in Ling Xiuqi's hand.

He scored the point.

Gu Nanyu was watching Ling Xiuqi from the sidelines, observing how he dribbled and shot.

She was a fast learner. After observing Ling Xiuqi for a couple of times, Gu Nanyu grasped some of the basics.

The opponent's team switched out two members during the half time.

The new members were very competent.

Ling Xiuqi alone was no match for them.

As Gu Nanyu looked at them, she noticed that they were toned. It was obvious they had trained all year round and were different from the average highschoolers.

She approached Ling Xiuqi, saying, "Those two are probably hired from outside."

Ling Xiuqi had realized that too. Eyes squinting, he nodded his head and replied,

"They must be the members of an actual sports team, possibly bought by them."

"What should we do now?" Gu Nanyu was observing the duo, who was looking at them at the same time.

"Those two will definitely block me later. You're the weakest member, which is why they won't have anyone to check on you. Keep an eye on my periphery. If you have any chance to catch the ball, shoot it and we will win."

The referee started blowing his whistle as Ling Xiuqi finished his words.

Ling Xiuqi patted her on the shoulder as the new round began.

The duo might be strong, but Ling Xiuqi's team was not weak either.

Besides, Gu Nanyu had watched a lot of Ling Xiuqi's matches, and thus she knew exactly what his next move would be when he laid his eyes on her.

Before everyone knew what was happening, Gu Nanyu was already well prepared.

Their movements that were in sync made the match even more exciting for the spectators.

This match was more worth seeing than the match where Ling Xiuqi beat all the opponents by himself.

The final ball was the deciding shot of the game. Ling Xiuqi was blocked by the duo while Gu Nanyu had someone following her, getting ready to intercept the pass.

Gu Nanyu suddenly jumped up when Ling Xiuqi passed the ball to her. After taking the pass, she was about to shoot it.

It was at this moment, the one who was keeping an eye on her stretched out his leg when the referee was not watching.
