Experiment Three After the serve, Shangguan Leinuo brought the ball to the front court. I stepped up to defend, but suddenly Shangguan Leinuo bent down, turned, and dodged me, charging straight to the basket for a layup. The entire process from receiving the serve to scoring was seamless and fluid. I was momentarily stunned; I didn't expect the playstyle of "Light of the Son" to be so unique and fast. I turned to look at Shangguan Leinuo's meticulous expression, which only deepened my interest in his playing style.
After we served, I faced Shangguan Leinuo and executed my "Lingbo Microstep" to break through. To my surprise, Shangguan Leinuo was able to keep up with my "Gyro Spin." After quickly turning around and using a crossover step, I finally shook off his defense and passed the ball to Bing Ge. At that moment, something unbelievable happened: Shangguan Leinuo charged from behind me to intercept my pass! His reaction and footwork were even faster than the speed of the ball! After stealing the ball, he dribbled past my defense and made a long pass to Ying Ben, who scored with a layup from an extremely long distance. We were instantly overtaken by Shangguan Leinuo's one shot and one assist.
As I walked back to our half of the court with my head down, A Fei patted my shoulder and whispered in my ear, "Jie, keep it up!" I nodded and ran back to receive the ball after our serve. I brought it past half court and passed it to A Fei. Ying Ben came over to defend, and A Fei passed it behind him to Ouyang. Ouyang took a three-pointer from beyond the arc but missed. Bing Ge jumped up to grab the rebound and then jumped again for a powerful dunk! Bing Ge made a triumphant return! 44! Shangguan Leinuo looked at us nonchalantly as if saying: "Don't rush; the best is yet to come."
After their serve, Shangguan Leinuo dribbled between his legs past half court and charged towards the basket again. However, this time I was closely guarding him. Suddenly, he made a quick stop and stepped back for a jump shot that went in. After we served, I held the ball using "Lingbo Microstep" but couldn't shake off Shangguan Leinuo. After a year, I finally encountered a true challenge! Fortunately, I had grasped a more advanced breakthrough technique called "Gyro Spin Cross." After faking out Shangguan Leinuo, I took a mid-range jump shot but was blocked from behind by him. After receiving the deflected ball, Ying Ben passed it back to Shangguan Leinuo, who sprinted forward with snake-like footwork. Facing A Fei's chase defense, he dunked it in!
After our serve, I organized our offense carefully this time. I slowly controlled the ball outside the three-point line before starting to penetrate towards the paint. Shangguan Leinuo was closely following me. Seizing an opportunity, I suddenly passed the ball through his legs—giving him a "through-the-legs" play—but what happened next left me speechless: he managed to reach back with his hand due to his quick reflexes and awareness, bouncing it back through his legs! Is this even possible?!! Is Shangguan Leinuo really human?!! He then directly passed the ball to Ying Ben, who easily scored on an open layup.
84! Suddenly, I looked at Shangguan Leinuo with newfound respect; the strength of "Light of the Son" was truly impressive. The entire first quarter became a showcase for Shangguan Leinuo, from organizing fast breaks to making clever assists for scores and defensive steals. The title of all-around hunter could only belong to Shangguan Leinuo! At the end of the first quarter, we trailed by ten points with a score of 19-9. This was our largest deficit in any first quarter this season. My personal stats against Shangguan Leinuo in this quarter were 5 attempts with 4 points scored, 1 steal, and 4 turnovers—compared to his 6 attempts with 4 made shots (including 1 three-pointer) for 9 points, 4 steals, and 4 assists—it felt dismal.
"Shangguan Leinuo is really strong," said A Fei, sitting on the bench. Bing Ge chimed in: "Yeah, his playstyle is different from that of Jiang Lingfeng and Zhao Ziyang. It seems like he has an unguardable skill." After taking a sip of water, we all gathered around to listen to Teacher Qiu's tactical adjustments. The message from Teacher Qiu was clear: we needed frequent passing to disrupt Shangguan Leinuo's rhythm so that he wouldn't be able to pass or receive smoothly. Sigh! We could only try this approach; it seemed that only Du Feilong could easily take down this "Light of the Son."
The second quarter began as we stepped onto the court. Teacher Qiu substituted Zhang Jun for A Fei, while Tu Lei replaced Li Kanglin. The opposing lineup remained unchanged. After our serve, I brought the ball past half court and directly passed it to Ouyang at zero-degree angle beyond the three-point line. Ouyang caught it and shot—score! 9! After their serve, Shangguan Leinuo brought the ball past half court again and charged towards the basket once more. I closely followed him step by step until I stood right in front of him—hmph! If you dare shoot, I'll block you! Sure enough, at the free-throw line position, he jumped straight up; I leaped high waiting for him to shoot but unexpectedly he suddenly changed his wrist motion and tossed the ball toward his right side where Xiao Li caught it and shot… another score! 1—what a brilliant assist! The scoring ability and basketball IQ of Shangguan Leinuo are exceptionally high; it seems that "Experiment Three" is determined to play as roadblocks today.
As the game intensified, more people filled the gymnasium; it seemed that students from our school had just finished class. However, our offense continued to falter as we were overwhelmed by Shangguan Leinuo. In mid-second quarter, he led his team on a terrifying run of 10 points that widened our deficit even further. With my last-second three-pointer missing its mark as halftime ended, we found ourselves trailing by nearly twenty points with a halftime score of 40-58—a bizarre deficit since joining the Yulin School Team two years ago. We had never been in such dire straits before; it seemed our hopes of leaving "Experiment Three" unscathed were growing dim.
With our heads down, we walked off the court without lifting them even when entering the locker room. Outside, cheers from "Experiment Three" fans echoed loudly as if mocking our pitiful state. As Teacher Qiu opened the locker room door, we entered and sat down on chairs with vacant expressions on our faces, burying our heads in our knees unwilling to look up; we felt utterly defeated by just one person—Shangguan Leinuo.
