Chapter 186: Contenders

The two teams began to compete against each other. Before Mo Yu arrived, the red team’s morale was already low. They were behind by a lot, and they only fell further because of Sun Kai. The boy was an all-rounder. He was good at both offense and defense.

Mo Yu gave the red team a simple order. “I’ll keep an eye on Sun Kai. Just pass the ball to me whenever you get it.” Mo Yu knew that he could defend himself against Sun Kai and felt that he could still get the ball and successfully lay up before Sun Kai’s explosive offense.

When the red team heard Mo Yu’s order, they could not believe it.

“Isn’t the boss being a little too confident?”

“Sun Kai is not a weak player.”

Sun Kai’s strength and ability were excellent, and he also had a wealth of basketball experience. But the red team wasn’t familiar with Mo Yu because they had never seen him play before.

Regardless, the red team didn’t dare to disobey their boss’s orders. They could only do as Mo Yu instructed. Mo Yu began to focus on defending against Sun Kai.

However, Sun Kai saw through the other team’s intentions. He sneered in his heart, ‘Hmph, you think you can defend against me? Aren’t you guys being overconfident?’

Sun Kai had played on the court for many years, yet he hadn’t come across anyone who could defend against him. Sun Kai changed his strategy, floating around the court like a ghost.

Sun Kai confidently broke through the red team’s defensive line. ‘I know you’re better than me when it comes to business, Mr. Mo. But you should admit defeat when playing basketball against me.’

Sun Kai began to charge. Then a sharp glint flashed across Mo Yu’s eyes.

Previously, when Mo Yu dribbled the ball and switched positions, he wasn’t moving very fast. He appeared lazy, causing one to worry whether or not he could outspeed Sun Kai.

But when faced with Sun Kai’s attack, everyone was surprised that Mo Yu could firmly defend himself against Sun Kai. No matter what Sun Kai did, Mo Yu could predict his next move.

Mo Yu still wasn’t moving fast, making Sun Kai feel powerless. It was as though Mo Yu was an insurmountable wall. Sun Kai played basketball for several years but never felt such a sense of helplessness.

Fang Liu’s eyes anxiously followed Mo Yu. She was relieved when she saw that Mo Yu remained calm. Fang Liu cheered happily, “Let’s go, number thirty-two! You’re the best!”

Naturally, Mo Yu was wearing a jersey with thirty-two on it.

Mo Yu still had the time to look at Fang Liu while defending against Sun Kai. A dark glint flashed across Mo Yu’s eyes. ‘Did she call me number thirty-two? I’ll teach her what she should call me when we get back.’

Meanwhile, Sun Kao was overjoyed when he saw Mo Yu looking away. He immediately sent a signal to his teammates to pass the ball.

Although Mo Yu asked his team to snatch the ball, the blue team’s morale was high, making it difficult for the red team to snatch the ball. The two teams were in a stalemate for a long while.

The blue team firmly kept the ball in their hands. When they saw Sun Kai’s signal, they immediately passed the ball around to safely get it to Sun Kai.

Sun Kai jumped from his initial position like a wild animal, raising his hand to receive the ball. ‘You think you can defend against my attack, Mr. Mo? I’m no pushover, you know.’

Sun Kai was confident in his jumping ability, and based on the height he was jumping, he knew that Mo Yu couldn’t possibly defend against him. However, the confident Sun Kai had a stiff expression immediately after.

Sun Kai helplessly watched as Mo Yu curled his lips into a cold smile. Then Mo Yu leaped before Sun Kai with a relaxed expression and snatched the ball from Sun Kai’s hands.

Sun Kai stared at Mo Yu as if he had seen a ghost. ‘W-What? How high did you just jump?’ Sun Kai was in disbelief. He wondered how a pampered person like Mr. Mo could possess such an explosive jump.

Fang Liu saw Mo Yu jumping high in a highly graceful manner, snatching the ball from Sun Kai’s hands. She thought that Mo Yu was an agile beast, possessing absolute strength, making one feel despair and submit to his greatness.

The scene made Fang Liu’s blood boil as her face turned red. ‘Why is my husband so good? He’s so handsome!’

Fang Liu never expected to worship Mo Yu. Fang Liu became more excited when she saw her husband shining on the basketball court.

Mo Yu started dribbling the moment he snatched the ball. The blue team felt that Mo Yu was running at the same speed as them, yet they still couldn’t defend Mo Yu.

Mo Yu had excellent control over his speed. He was swift when passing but slowed down when dribbling.
