Chapter 9: I’ll Ask Again—Who Else?
On the stands not far from the basketball court, a flamboyantly dressed and handsome girl watched Lin Tian on the court coldly.
"Is that really Lin Tian? Impossible, how could that guy be so good at basketball!" Li Li kept muttering to herself, unwilling to admit that the man like the wind was Lin Tian.
"And how did he get taller? Did he also get stronger?"
"He also seems to have gotten more handsome!"
Li Li watched Lin Tian’s every move closely, convincing herself that it wasn’t Lin Tian, but who else could it be if not him?
"So what if he’s great at basketball? He’s still just a poor student!" Li Li lovingly touched the LV bag on her shoulder.
The game continued, and Ye Feng, who had been blocked twice, was clearly having mental issues, becoming absent-minded.
That was a sign of someone’s confidence being shattered.

"Can you pass the ball to me this time?" Lin Tian glanced at his team’s point guard.
The point guard didn’t dare to refuse this time because Lin Tian indeed had strength. After all, it’s a competition, and nobody wants to lose.
The point guard nodded, agreeing to pass the ball to Lin Tian.
"In a moment, throw the ball high towards the basket, an alley-oop dunk, got it?" Lin Tian didn’t ask for the ball but whispered to his team’s point guard.
The other person nodded thoughtfully at Lin Tian.
The attack continued. Lin Tian moved without the ball to the opponent’s three-point line, and Ye Feng spread his arms in front of him.
"If you won’t let me score, I won’t let you score today either!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and said.
"Is that so?" Lin Tian was indifferent. "I’m going for an alley-oop dunk later, stop me if you can!"
Announcing the tactic to the opponent, how confident was Lin Tian in himself?
Telling the tactic to the opposing player left Ye Feng incredulous and extremely furious!
You’re completely disregarding me!!!
"Lin Tian!" A teammate suddenly shouted.
Hearing the voice, Lin Tian saw the teammate throw the basketball high towards the basket.
A shadow dashed towards the falling basketball in mid-air.
"I must stop you!" Ye Feng moved with Lin Tian the first moment.
He wanted to return everything Lin Tian gave him today.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking through the air echoed in Lin Tian’s ears as he jumped up, reaching the height of the basket.
What terrifying jumping power this was.
His right hand easily grabbed the basketball, his right arm stretched back, heading towards the rim within reach.
"Wow, so cool!"
"So handsome!"
"I want to have your babies!"
Lin Tian’s impressive leap and body extension made him glide like a flying man in the air, eliciting a chorus of screams.
"Dream on!" Already knowing Lin Tian was going for a dunk, Ye Feng had prepared early, leaping as Lin Tian was about to succeed.
His right arm extended, hand fiercely aiming for the basketball, determined to block Lin Tian.
When Ye Feng soared, extending his right arm, even stretching his fingers, yet he still couldn’t touch the basketball at that moment.
Ye Feng knew in his heart he was defeated.
"Bang!" The two bodies crashed in mid-air.
Ye Feng lost his balance again, falling, but Lin Tian’s body stayed steadily gliding in the air.
"Swish!" The basketball was heavily slammed into the hoop.
Lin Tian landed lightly, looking down at the defeated Ye Feng.
"I did tell you I’d go for an alley-oop dunk!"
"Heh heh!" followed by a cold laugh.
"Who else!"
"I’m just asking, who else!"
Lin Tian’s signature confident action appeared again, making the quiet basketball court erupt once more.
Lying on the ground, Ye Feng looked at the war-god-like Lin Tian, his body trembling.
He was afraid, truly afraid.
From the initial defiance to now complete acceptance.
"Referee, substitute!" After being humiliated by Lin Tian for the third time, Ye Feng actively asked to rest.
"Wow, to actually make Ye Feng retreat voluntarily!"
"This guy is incredible, how did we not know such a master was in Class One?"
"I just went to Class One to find out, they say his name is Lin Tian, usually very low-key!"
"No wonder..."
"Is this guy really that awesome?" Feng Biao scratched his head; no one expected the sure-win game to turn out like this.
5:13, although Class One was trailing by eight points, unlike before when everyone thought they were bound to lose, now many believed it was hard to say who would win or lose.
"Everyone, perk up and defend well!" shouted Feng Biao, the backbone of Class Two on the court.
Unfortunately, without Ye Feng, Class Two’s morale had already dissipated, with no spirit.
The following game was a completely one-sided slaughter.
Lin Tian savaged the five players of Class Two alone.
Lin Tian brought the ball to the three-point line, leaped, and made a three-pointer.
Under the basket, Lin Tian caught the ball for a one-handed layup; the opponent fouled, scoring the extra free throw.
Lin Tian dribbled quickly, faked out the opponent’s defense, mid-range fadeaway jumper.
"Damn!"
All Class Two players cursed simultaneously.
Damn, who the hell is this person, scoring ten points alone, coupled with the previous two shocking blocks.
Beating the entire Class Two team into submission.
Moreover, these ten points were all accomplished by his own strength, completely a display of personal skill, truly so damn arrogant.
"No, we need a timeout!" Watching the score go from 5:13 to a tie at 13:13, Class Two’s Mr. Li couldn’t sit still anymore.
Having dominated before, now being dominated, face would be lost if another score surpassed, losing the game.
Unlike Mr. Li calling the timeout, Class One’s headteacher Mr. Gao was having a great time.
Watching Lin Tian’s various god-like performances and Mr. Li looking miserable, pleasure swept over him.
During the short timeout, Mr. Li immediately assigned tasks to the Class Two players, to tightly guard Lin Tian, even using legitimate body contact to foul if needed, just don’t let the opponent score.
At the same time, Mr. Li instructed the stabilized Ye Feng to re-enter the game; he was the main scorer, he had to be on the court at this critical moment.
Looking at Lin Tian’s side, just stepping off, Mr. Gao approached with a big smile, "Lin Tian, you really hid it so well, almost tricked even the teacher!"
"It’s not that I hid it, it’s just that Mr. Gao probably didn’t think much of me before!" Lin Tian coldly dropped a remark, taking a swig of mineral water.
Mr. Gao looked awkward, standing there unable to smile or not smile.
Lin Tian’s grades in the class were poor, impossible to get into a top university at all.
Moreover, his parents weren’t influential figures, he definitely wouldn’t have much of a future.
Such a student, Mr. Gao naturally wouldn’t pay any heed.
But now this bad student has left everyone dumbfounded.
Utterly shocked!!!
