We arrived at the gym for training at noon, and just as we stepped out of the classroom, I caught sight of Haoshuai with that melancholic look in his eyes. It seemed that Haoshuai really wanted to join our competition. Once we got to the gym, I was surprised to see Bing Ge sitting in the stands! "Hey, Bing Ge, you're back?!" I shouted as I rushed over to him. Bing Ge smiled and stood up, and I hugged him tightly. "Hey, Jie, take it easy..." Bing Ge said, and I quickly let go. He held his abdomen, his expression somewhat unnatural. Teacher Qiu came over and said to me, "Jie, you bumped into Yan Bing's injury. Yan Bing hasn't fully recovered yet and can't play; he can only watch from the sidelines." So that's how it is; I was excited for nothing.
I pulled Bing Ge down to sit. "When will you be back on the team? We need you! After you left, our inside strength was significantly weakened!" Bing Ge looked worried. "I'll do my best to return as soon as possible, but it will take at least six or seven weeks. If the team makes it to the quarter-finals, I'll have to wait until at least the second game of the semi-finals or even the finals to come back. So for my sake, you all have to hold on; it's best if you can make it to the finals." The task that Bing Ge assigned us was quite daunting!
After school at noon, we went to the cafeteria for lunch and then returned to the classroom. Haoshuai came over and asked us, "Jie, A Fei, gather a few members from your Team so we can have a match?" The way Haoshuai said it implied that he didn't think much of our Team members; he just wanted our teammates to help temper his skills! "Sure, I'll go invite some people right now." I walked out of the classroom; this time I was going to call our strongest attackers to compete against him.
Before long, I had called over Li Kanglin, Tu Lei, and Ouyang. After some discussion, it was decided that I, A Fei, and Ouyang would be one team while Li Kanglin, Tu Lei, and Haoshuai would be another. "Perfect! We have three against three; let's play half a game of Street Basketball. You guys are all newcomers, so you can serve first," I suggested, which everyone agreed to. Li Kanglin stepped up to the three-point line at the top of the arc to prepare for the serve. Today, our Jade Unicorn Three Swordsmen were going to teach these kids a lesson!
After receiving the ball and dribbling back a step, Haoshuai took a shot and scored! Wow! I didn't expect that this Haoshuai had actually practiced a bit. After the serve from A Fei, Ouyang passed me the ball. I charged towards the basket but faced double coverage; however, I managed to score with a layup in mid-air. We weren't pushovers either! After receiving the serve, Haoshuai quickly dashed towards the top of the arc and then turned around for a jump shot from three-point range—he scored again! I was completely stunned; how could he make that shot? Suddenly, I began to see Haoshuai in a new light!
Little did I know that this was just the beginning of Haoshuai's performance. Throughout the match, he showcased impressive skills that drew applause from everyone. The ten-minute game of Street Basketball ended quickly with us winning 60-0 thanks to our strong overall performance. Remarkably, Haoshuai scored nineteen points on his own—dominating! After the match ended, I couldn't help but smile as I walked over to Haoshuai and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey! You played so well! When did you start training?" I thought his playing style and fundamentals were good; he must have had strict training under a basketball coach. But Haoshuai shook his head: "I've never trained before; I've just been playing around on my own."
"Then you're truly talented! Teacher Qiu is looking for good prospects; maybe next season we can fight side by side in the Team," I praised him. With his eyes fixed on the hoop, Haoshuai replied confidently: "Definitely! One thousand percent! Actually, I originally hoped we could play together this season; who would have thought..." His gaze dimmed with disappointment as he spoke. Looking at how passionate he was about basketball sometimes made him seem like an innocent child—someone you wouldn't want to hurt. What kind of guy is he really?
After returning to class, Shuai Dong came over to ask about the match's outcome. "Who told you not to go watch in the gym yourself? I'm not going to tell you!" I pouted at him. Then Shuai Dong quickly changed his tone and scoffed: "Hmph! Not telling me is fine; I'm not going to be upset about it for long anyway. You don't even need to guess; it's obvious your team won." "Why is that so certain?" I asked him with a smile. Shuai Dong pretended to be serious: "Well... because you definitely wouldn't choose too strong an opponent; you're not going to pick someone like Cheng Zhongqi, Bing Ge, or Zhang Jun. You probably chose slightly stronger players as your teammates instead—if I'm not mistaken, you definitely picked A Fei and Ouyang as your teammates while finding two rookies for Haoshuai." As he analyzed everything piece by piece, I was utterly amazed: "Hey! Don't understand me so well! You even guessed our teammates correctly; you might as well change your last name to Zhuge!" At that moment, Pang Hao walked over: "Jie, don't listen to him acting all mysterious; he only guessed because he saw all six of you walking back after going to the bathroom." He even shot a glance at Shuai Dong. I patted Shuai Dong on the shoulder: "Shuai Dong, turns out you're not that impressive after all." "Well... uh... Pang Hao, you're really too talkative!"
In the afternoon after school when I just stepped out of school gates, Situ Yanan ran over—she must have missed me and wanted to catch up. Seeing her gaze towards Xia Ying, there was jealousy again. So I quickly made up an excuse about family matters and ran off. Walking down the street, I never expected that despite his average height, Haoshuai had such refined skills. I'm increasingly sensing that there's more than meets the eye with him—he seems like a smiling assassin who often surprises people but also leaves them confused. In short, this guy is someone special!
