I felt like the three of them stepping onto the court would shake the entire arena. "The physical quality of the Horsemen Team is outstanding..." Jiang Lingfeng also sighed. I quickly reassured our team, "It's okay, it's okay. They lost to Light Speed, and they barely won against Wuzun after a free throw battle. Don't forget, we defeated both Light Speed and Wuzun." While calming them down, I was also comforting myself. Xiang Jie, don't be nervous. So what if they're tall and strong? Street Basketball is about skill.
The referee signaled for both teams to take the court and began tossing the coin. It was heads; Horsemen had possession. The Horsemen moved to the top of the arc to inbound the ball. Their Point Guard controlled the ball and passed it to the forward. I rushed forward to defend against the guy who was a head taller than me. "Go Dream Chasers!" At that moment, I suddenly heard a shout. Turning around, I saw Shuai Dong and Pang Hao running in, panting heavily. The audience focused their attention on these two. "You guys didn't call us when you came out!" Shuai Dong complained as he walked over. The Horsemen forward took advantage of our distraction and charged straight to the basket for an easy dunk. Shuai Dong quickly covered his mouth, and I shot him a fierce glare for letting our opponents score two points unnecessarily.
We returned to inbound the ball. After passing it in, Jiang Lingfeng quickly ran to the right wing at a 45-degree angle and suddenly threw a high pass to A Fei under the basket. The defender, a giant, jumped at the same time as A Fei, almost sending him flying to catch the ball—what a monster! I couldn't understand how a team with such outstanding physical quality and dominance under the basket could first lose to Light Speed and then be pushed into a free throw showdown by Wuzun. After catching the ball, the monster passed it long to their outside Point Guard. The Point Guard forced a three-pointer in front of Jiang Lingfeng, who couldn't interfere due to his height disadvantage. The ball flew through the air in a perfect arc before going out of bounds... airball! The Center walked over and scolded, "Don't shoot if you're not confident; it's a waste of opportunity!" The Point Guard ran back to his baseline position with a red face.
After we inbounded again, Jiang Lingfeng passed me the ball. After securing it, I quickly used Lingbo Microstep to shake off their forward and took a mid-range shot—swish! This was my most familiar spot; my shooting percentage was unbeatable there. After we inbounded, their Point Guard passed directly to their forward. The forward charged at me directly, dribbling hard towards me. I was knocked back by this monster's shoulder; he was really strong! After breaking past me, he drove straight to the basket and easily scored with help from the Center's screen.
As we prepared to inbound again, Jiang Lingfeng quietly said, "Their three-point shooting percentage is their weak point." Right! They were only relying on scoring under the basket! We needed to leverage our strengths: agile movement and scoring from outside and mid-range. After we inbounded, Jiang Lingfeng dribbled to the corner for an open shot while A Fei and I rushed over to block their Point Guard. Jiang Lingfeng quickly took a three-pointer—score! This tactic worked well; after they inbounded again, their Point Guard passed directly to their Center. Jiang Lingfeng swiftly intercepted the pass before running out beyond the arc for a three-pointer that I caught and shot—score! We scored six consecutive points in one go and took the lead! However, relying solely on three-point shooting wouldn't work against them; we needed to take proactive counterattacks!
After they inbounded again, their Point Guard dashed to the right wing and passed it to their forward at the free-throw line. The forward quickly jumped for a shot; after bouncing twice off the rim, it still didn't go in! While A Fei fought for the rebound against Horsemen's Center, he was hit in the nose by an elbow from an opponent's rough move. Blood immediately gushed from A Fei's nostrils as he crouched down with his head lowered, covering his nose with his hands. The referee quickly blew his whistle for a timeout as we rushed over to check on A Fei's condition. Medical staff came over to stop his bleeding; after examination confirmed it was just a nasal contusion without any bone injury, we all breathed a sigh of relief. The staff cleaned up the floor; there was some blood on A Fei's jersey, but fortunately, we were wearing dark blue uniforms so it wasn't very noticeable.
"A Fei, can you continue playing?" Jiang Lingfeng asked nervously as he looked down at A Fei who was receiving treatment for his wound. "I'm fine; it's just a nosebleed—a minor injury," A Fei replied. I tightly grasped A Fei's shoulder beside him; my heart raced with determination—my brother, we will give our all for you! After simple treatment, A Fei stepped onto the court signaling he could continue playing. With possession of the ball again after we inbounded it, Jiang Lingfeng initiated an attack while their Point Guard rushed up aggressively blocking him tightly. Jiang Lingfeng turned around backing down his opponent before suddenly executing a turnaround jump shot—it missed! The ball flew towards me on the right wing—not a turnaround jump shot... it was a behind-the-back pass! I circled around in front of him catching it before using my quick footwork to evade their forward and drive straight for an easy layup—score!
After they quickly inbounded again, their Center charged towards the basket while Jiang Lingfeng and I ran from both sides toward him. Seeing us approach rapidly, their Center suddenly hesitated for a moment; neither Jiang Lingfeng nor I could react in time before crashing into Horsemen's Center's strong arms.
My chin collided with his solid triceps while Jiang Lingfeng also got knocked back slightly. After stopping us with that move, their forward and Point Guard rushed over for support; thinking he could easily score or dunk now that he had us blocked out, their Center started lifting up for an easy layup—but he overlooked one person: our fierce warrior Center A Fei! Suddenly A Fei sprinted from left wing leaping high into the air reaching out his right hand towards their Center’s ball—"Smack!" With that sound, A Fei swatted away their Center’s shot! I quickly followed where the ball flew landing just inside bounds before catching it and making my way around from beyond three-point range into mid-range for another quick shot—score! In less than three minutes we scored 100 points against them in one go pulling ahead significantly! Yes! We are going to be kings of this group! We are going to be this Street Basketball Championship's biggest dark horse! We want everyone to know us—the Dream Chasers!
