Chapter 922: Xiao Chong Extra 20_3
Xiao Chong didn’t spray words at him, just when he had control of the ball, he directly broke through to the opponent’s basket and delivered a slam dunk over Crooked Mouth Dragon King with absolute control.
The backboard shook with Xiao Chong’s slam dunk, and all three thousand spectators stood up involuntarily, stunned into silence for two seconds by this magnificent yet violent dunk.
A group of local Hai City high school students were only there as spectators; who’s ever seen such a spectacular dunk in live action?
Two seconds later, the entire crowd erupted into deafening cheers!
At the same time, Xiao Chong let go of the hoop and landed, aiming a finger shake at Crooked Mouth Dragon King whom he had knocked to the ground, with a calm expression.
As if giving another facial expression was beneath him.
This gesture successfully enraged Crooked Mouth Dragon King, who rushed forward intending to fight Xiao Chong, but was held back by his teammates.
Xiao Chong looked at him coldly, his peach blossom eyes inherently expressive, with the cold sternness that seemed to say: "Loser, is this all you got? Come on if you dare!"
The opponent, blinded by passion, broke free from his teammates, his huge fist headed directly for Xiao Chong, his teammates hurriedly pinned him down, a few of them immediately fell and started rolling on the ground, turning the basketball court into chaos.
The referee rushed in to separate both sides and first issued a card to Xiao Chong.
Due to the finger-wagging gesture towards the opposing player, Xiao Chong received his first technical foul.
From CBA to NBA, finger-wagging is always considered a provocative act, a technical foul, where accumulating two will result in ejection from the game.
But Xiao Chong didn’t care since this technical foul was calculated; he was aiming to escalate things and take down Crooked Mouth Dragon King, the core of the opposing team.
The outcome was clearly worth it; the opponent rushed at him, though blocked from landing a hit, the tension was released, and the referee also handed a technical foul to the opponent.
The man already had one technical foul, so with two he was sent off like the big-headed captain of Seventh Middle School, sitting obediently on the sidelines.
Both teams lost a center and a key playmaker point guard, suffering heavy blows, but it was advantageous to Seventh Middle School.
On the sidelines, scouts quickly noted: Xiao Chong exhibited high basketball IQ and broad vision, with strong game reading capabilities.
Then Xiao Chong went all out, igniting his "mad shooter" mode, in the last five minutes delivering stellar passes initiating attacks, snatching rebounds, breaking through defenses, and making outside surprise three-pointers, ultimately narrowly leading the team into the finals.
As the game whistle blew, everyone rushed to Xiao Chong, lifting him up around the arena.
Lin Wanwan’s cheerleading squad also excitedly hugged each other, jumping and shouting, some even shedding tears of joy.
The finals were two days later; as a cheerleading squad, they couldn’t continue staying.
The basketball game was important, but the finals exams were equally critical for them.
In the afternoon, cheerleaders boarded the high-speed train to go home as scheduled, whereas the players’ family and friends who had time could remain.
Xiao Chong’s mom took Chen Ying along as they left, Chen Ying being a junior high school student in Grade 9 would not be brought along unless she insisted on coming this time. Watching one game was enough, as naturally, they couldn’t allow her educational pursuits to be influenced by a basketball game.
The team regrettably suffered defeat in the finals, probably due to exhausting too much against the rivals in the semifinals; after all, their team was largely carried by one star with four weak support players, and lacked bench depth.
Reaching the finals was already unexpected delight, earning nationwide second place felt like earning free glory.
Although the team didn’t win the championship, Xiao Chong personally achieved MVP honors at the national tournament, with many clubs extending a training olive branch to him.
The basketball team returned to school, and the day after the competition, midterm exams commenced.
In the end, results came out; Xiao Chong was solid like an old pro, securing the first place in the entire grade, while Lin Wanwan surprisingly dropped six ranks, falling back to thirtieth place.
Clearly, this cheerleading journey and striving leap affected her focus.
She originally wasn’t the naturally gifted type, she could only emerge successfully through relentless diligence, now non-academic matters consumed too much of her time.
Every night before bed, she still thought of Xiao Chong several times; it’s no wonder her scores dropped.
Though Grandpa Lin would never criticize her, in fact, he didn’t even know her previous ranking.
All he knew was his own child excelled academically, was in an advanced class at a key high school.
However, Lin Wanwan couldn’t accept her own state.
As winter vacation started, she directly pulled the curtains, immersing herself in pure study, determined not to be influenced by Xiao Chong anymore, even canceling her iPad’s network connectivity.
To her, the most important, most controllable thing now was clearly her academics; everything else could be postponed.
