However, there was a problem…

How should you attack when you meet an opponent shorter than you?

Option A: Jump shots. Just keep shooting. He can’t block you anyway!

Option B: Fadeaway shots. Just keep shooting. He can’t block you anyway!

Option C: What a coincidence, I’m good at both!

In the second period of the match, Nefaria attacked first. When Su Feng reached the low post, his teammates continued passing the ball to him.

After receiving the ball, Su Feng quickly turned after feinting a turn first.

Afterwards, he twisted his hip, leapt up, and flicked his wrists in one fluid motion.

The gazes of everyone in the gymnasium were attracted by Su Feng’s fadeaway shot.

In fact, a “traitor” appeared in the gymnasium.

A female student, whose allegiance was not firm, subconsciously whispered, “So handsome!”

Swoosh!

Although utility point guard Schwartz stretched his short arms, he just could not reach the ball.

At this moment, XUE HUA PIAO PIAO.mp3 played in Schwartz’s head…

Meanwhile, Su Feng scored his 13th point in the match!

Although he was still very far away from his dream of playing in the NBA, becoming a basketball superstar and marrying a beautiful, rich, fair-skinned lady, Su Feng was at least a little more confident in achieving his dream now.

“I’m so strong! I feel strength coursing through my veins!”

Su-brimming with confidence-Feng.

The match continued with Lower Merion attacking. This time, Kobe used an extremely secretive backwards pass to pass the ball to his teammate David Lasman after breaking through.

Lasman followed up with a bank shot and scored.

15-20.

When he was in high school, Kobe was influenced by the cassette tapes his grandfather had sent him. When he played, he would often imitate the moves of Magic Johnson.

Before developing the no-pass look, Kobe’s no look pass could be considered very handsome as well.

Schwartz and Su Feng matched up once again.

Clang!

Su Feng did not manage to score this time. Nonetheless, it did not really matter as the sheer presence of Kobe made it so that no player of Nefaria dared to stand up to him except Su Feng.

Bang!

Lower Merion counterattacked, but Kobe’s jump shot from the three-point arc missed due to Su Feng’s disruption.

“Su’s defence is very successful! If we exclude the four slam dunks from the start of the match and free throws, Kobe’s field goal percentage is only 33%…” Duke University’s scout, Wesley, remarked while reading the records in his notebook.

Probably because Su Feng’s miss had given him a confidence boost, when Su Feng tried to shoot again, Schwartz mustered up the courage to trap Su Feng in a “death coil”.

In the end…

Su Feng almost made a mistake.

When a defender is closing down on you, attempting to break through or pass are often the best ways to respond.

But coincidentally, Su Feng happened to be weak in both of those things.

Luckily, Su Feng thought fast enough and was bold enough.

After quickly passing the ball to his captain, Towns, who was closest to him, he immediately signalled Towns to pass the ball back to him.

Being demoted from a captain to a utility point guard, only God knows what Towns had gone through.

But looking at Su Feng’s passionate eyes, a weird sense of respect arose in Towns’ heart…

So be it, I’ll pass. It’s just a ball anyway!

Su Feng received the ball and did not give Schwartz a chance to mark him this time. He made a shot when he was still half a meter away from the three-point line.

That shot was very illogical.

But Su Feng made the shot very decisively.

Because he knew that Schwartz’s short arms could not block his shot.

Swoosh!

Yes!

Su Feng scored his second three-pointer of the match, and the score was now 18-20!

On the bleachers, the audience was stunned…

That was because right now, at the second period, Nefaria, who had been thrashed by them with a 58-point difference last season, was only trailing them by two points.

“Incredible! Even in the NBA, only top shooters are able to shoot the ball almost immediately after receiving it.” On the bleachers, Wesley felt like he had hit the jackpot.

That was because he had found a shooter filled with potential in Pennsylvania.

He could both defend and shoot.

“I have to give him my business card after the match. I can’t let such a talented player escape from my grasp,” Wesley thought.

On the court, after Su Feng scored that three-pointer, Schwartz asked Kobe for help with a pleading glance.

This time, Kobe did not give Schwartz a death stare.

He had been craving a one-on-one with Su Feng for a long time.

Of course, before starting his one-on-one with Su Feng, Kobe did not forget to throw his head coach a glance full of meaning.

On the substitute bench, the Downer father-and-son duo were speechless. After all, what was meant to be, would be…

On the court, Lower Merion’s attack was still orchestrated by Kobe. Lasman received the ball again and the score was now 18-22.

Next, Nefaria attacked and Kobe actively ran towards Su Feng.

After the audience in the gymnasium saw this, they went wild!

Kobe… was going to match up with that Chinese player!

“Come, Su. If you can score just five points against me, I’ll count this match as a win for you!” He was Kobe after all—even his words were domineering.

Su Feng took a deep breath. Meanwhile, Captain Towns, who had become a utility player, threw Su Feng a glance to ask, “Should I pass the ball to you so you can take him on alone?”

Su Feng shook his head and used his gaze to reply, “Watch my positioning!”

Towns nodded in response.

One must say, basketball knows no boundaries…

Su Feng knew he was no match for Kobe in a one-on-one. So the top priority for him was to try his best to shoot.

After all, the thought of winning against Lower Merion was too ridiculous, and Su Feng was clear about his current ability.

Hence, earning more Brick Shot Points was most important!

Hey, you can’t blame me for being selfish. It’s all because you all don’t dare to attack.

I was forced into this position!

Su Feng received the ball, stretched his leg, sprang into the air, and flicked his wrists!

After Su Feng went from the left corner to the right, Towns quickly passed the ball to him.

And Su Feng shot without hesitation.

Although Kobe had reacted very quickly and was so close to Su Feng that he could almost touch his face, he was still unable to prevent Su Feng from shooting.

“What kind of movement is that?” On the bleachers, Duke University’s scout, Wesley, was caught between laughter and tears.

Swoosh!

Kobe was speechless.

And so was Wesley.

And so was Su Feng.

Seriously?!

“All I want is to throw bricks!”

21-22. After Su Feng scored that three-pointer, Su Feng had already scored more points than Kobe in the match…

“Very good!” Meanwhile, Kobe looked at Su Feng with a more serious look in his eyes…

Su Feng felt very gloomy. Dear lord… He had never expected to actually lead Nefaria to an unexpected victory against Lower Merion…

So when Kobe got in front of him and prepared to defend, Su Feng only had one thought in his mind.

Su- I just wanna lay bricks- Feng.
