Lynn bounced the ball leisurely and walked towards Jaime.

“Don’t look at me as an old man, treat me as an equal,” said Lynn.

Jaime nodded.

“Hahaha, Jaime, you must let go of the old man.”

The comments section burst into laughter.

It was really funny. The ceiling of the basketball world was teaching an old man who was over a hundred years old to play basketball.

Lynn strode in front of Jaime, and this time, he flashed to the right.

Jaime hurriedly went to the right to intercept him.

In the end, Lynn appeared on Jaime’s left side.

It was another three-step layup.

The basketball still spun twice on the basket, and with a swoosh, it entered the net.

“Ah, Jaime is really elegant. He gave in twice?”

“Can you not go easy on him like that? It’s so boring.”

“That’s not surprising. With Jaime’s personality, three out of five wins is a sure thing. It’s not a big deal to give in twice.”

Only Jaime was dumbfounded.

He had clearly sensed that Lynn had attacked from the right. How did he suddenly appear on the left?

At this time, he also sensed that something was wrong.

However, he still maintained a smile on his face. He spread his hands and indicated to everyone that he had to maintain his elegance.

The third time, Jaime became serious.

“Look, Jaime is serious. This time, it’s impossible for Lynn to get within two steps before the ball is intercepted.”

However, the truth was that Lynn had calmly passed him again.

But this time, the ball did not go in. Lynn felt that it was too boring.

“Look, Jaime’s interference worked. It made Lynn nervous, so the ball did not go in.”

Jaime also became confident. He thought that his interference really worked.

Although he was against an old man, there were still many people who wanted to see Jaime perform on the spot.

So, the individual performance began. All kinds of crotch dribbles were performed. It was dazzling.

In the blink of an eye, Jaime arrived in front of Lynn.

This time, everyone believed that it was a sure pass.

The difference in height between the two was simply too great.

Even if Jaime was holding the ball normally, Lynn would have a hard time trying to reach it.

In the blink of an eye, he passed by Lynn, but Jaime was shocked.

This was because the ball in his hand had disappeared at some point.

“Ah, what happened?”

“The ball, why is it in Lynn’s hand?”

Everyone was a little stunned.

They did not understand what was happening.

Even Jaime himself was stunned. When the two of them passed each other, the ball was still in his hands.

How did it end up in Lynn’s hands all of a sudden?

This was too strange. How did this happen?

Kaki, on the other hand, was frowning in front of the camera.

“Slow down, slow down, slow down.”

The camera equipment they were using was worth over a million dollars. They could detect every frame.

Kaki wanted to see what was going on. However, when the camera was at its slowest, Kaki was shocked.

The moment the two of them missed each other, Lynn quickly snatched the ball from Jaime’s hands, giving everyone the illusion that Jaime had passed Lynn holding the ball.

However, in reality, the ball had already been in Lynn’s hands from then on. Jaime did not even have time to react.

At that moment, the ball went in.

Lynn won three games and sighed, “Sigh, it’s really boring.”

The ball bounced back into Lynn’s hands.

Lynn was standing outside the three-point line and suddenly made a move.

The basketball drew a perfect parabola in the air.

However, the ball seemed to be a little high. It was higher than the rebounds.

No one thought that the ball could go in.

“Shua!”

With a whoosh, the entire audience fell silent.

“F*ck, not bad. He even scored. How can I suspect that Jaime went easy on him just now?”

“Playing? What kind of status does Jaime have? Can he even play basketball? Why can’t he beat an old man who’s over a hundred years old?”

“But don’t forget that this old man was a hero during the Civil War.”

Only Jaime and Kaki were somewhat at a loss.

One did not know how he had lost the ball, and the other was shocked because he knew. 

Master Morey had been studying the basketball pillar the whole time. When he saw Lynn exiting the court, he quickly went up to him. 

Master Morey said excitedly, “Senior Lynn, is this the 1,000-year-old lightning-struck wood?”

Everyone looked at Lynn, but Lynn shook his head.

“I told you, how could this be the legendary 1,000-year-old lightning-struck wood? That thing should only exist in legends, right?”

“Yeah.”

Lynn replied, “But it should be similar… It’s 10,000 years of lightning-struck wood.”

Everybody froze. They were all standing there like wooden stakes.

10,000 years…

Vegetation that was able to live for more than 1,000 years, was already considered remarkable.

However, Master Morey had no doubt about what Lynn had just said. 

This was because the wood grain on the pillar was very dense and the pattern represented the life of the tree.

At first, Master Morey thought that the pattern was painted on, and because it could not be damaged at all, he did not delve into it.

However, after he thought about it, he realized, it could not be damaged at all because the wooden pattern was real.

Otherwise, the diamond tool would have removed some paint long ago.

Lynn’s words shocked everyone.

10,000 years of lightning-struck ironwood…

What was that concept? What was its value?

Megan did not know how to even speak anymore.

This was a rich man. This was an awesome man.

“Hi, Senior Lynn, aren’t you interested in my dunk just now? I think I can teach you some important points,” said Jaime.

Jaime’s words pulled everyone back to the original scene.

“What? What was Jaime thinking, letting an old man dunk and then inviting him over again?”

“Isn’t that bullying?”

“Don’t say that, Jaime is still very graceful, you saw it just now. Didn’t Jaime let the old man win?

“How else could an old man, with his clumsy hands, possibly win? As for the three points, it was just luck. Even I can throw the ball from the side of the backboard to the opposite side and score.”

“That’s right. If Jaime had used one percent of his strength just now, the old man would have definitely looked terrible.”

“Maybe Jaime did the old man a favor. Haha, or have you forgotten? He even destroyed a painting.”

The netizens in front of the screen discussed. They were very confused by Jaime’s behavior.

“What was he trying to do? Did he want to show that he could dunk the ball?”

“What was the point of showing off in front of the old man?”

“Maybe Jaime thought that he had to let the old man know that he didn’t lose.”

“By the way, I also think that old man Lynn’s thoughts are a little chaotic. Maybe he wanted to feel flattered and be praised by others. It was supposed to be 1,000-year-old lightning-struck ironwood, but according to him, it just happened to be 10,000-year-old lightning-struck ironwood. Didn’t you also see that Master Morey did not even express his opinion regarding it?”

What everyone did not know was that Jaime had done this because he wanted to confirm the doubts he had earlier.

How did he lose the ball?

He was holding the basketball, and this time, he was the one to attack.

Everyone watched as he rapidly swung the ball. He did not make any fancy moves until he reached the two-point line and directly jumped up.

“Wow!

“Another dunk from the two-point line.”

Lynn was under the backboard.

When he saw Jaime flying upwards, his figure suddenly appeared in the air in front of Jaime.

It was very sudden. No one knew how he moved.

He slapped the basketball out of his hands accurately and landed on the ground without any hesitation.

He swung the basketball. The next moment, he appeared under the opposite basket. The crowd had no idea how he did it. 

Everyone only saw Lynn jump to an exaggerated height. That height made his entire body parallel to the backboard.

His body became the number ‘one’ in the air. 

“Swish!”

It was a perfect dunk!
