Chapter 1181 Three-point Field Goals
Gu Ning was willing to help Teng Xiaoyu without asking for anything in return, which was enough to prove her kindness.Although she said that she came here just because of Tang Jiakai, it was still undeniable that she was helpful.
"Oh, by the way, Ningning is going to punish those guys for us tomorrow," Tang Jiakai said with excitement and anticipation.
Hearing that, they turned to look at Gu Ning with surprise. They didn't doubt Gu Ning's ability this time. However, they thought that Gu Ning was going to beat those people.
Even though they also hoped that those bad people could learn a lesson, they were worried that Gu Ning might get in trouble.
"Well, I don't think it's a good idea. What if Miss Gu is caught and gets in trouble?"
"Right, Miss Gu is a celebrity now."
"It might affect her reputation."
They weren't selfish people, and they cared about Gu Ning's reputation.
Gu Ning felt touched by their argument, and was more than willing to help them punish those people now.
"You don't need to worry about that. Ningning isn't going to punch them, but…" Tang Jiakai then told them Gu Ning's plan.
Afterwards, they all agreed with it.
Gu Ning stayed in the ward for a while, then left with Tang Jiakai.
Because Teng Xiaoyu didn't live in City B and his family wasn't here, two of his teammates stayed to take care of him. When they left for training during the days, a nurse would come to replace them.
They went to the parking lot together, but they all had their own cars.
However, they were stunned by Gu Ning's limited edition Lamborghini when they saw her getting in it.
They weren't surprised by its price, because they knew that Gu Ning was super-rich. They were surprised because it was hard to buy this car.
There were only a dozen of them in the world, so only a few people could get one.
Boys all loved cars, so they were attracted to it at once.
"Wow, this is so amazing!"
"Miss Gu, you're so awesome to be able to get this car."
"Um, I didn't get it myself, it was a gift from my uncle and aunt," Gu Ning said with a smile.
They nodded and realized that Cao Wenxin's parents were Gu Ning's uncle and aunt. They had seen Cao Wenxin's Lamborghini before, so they weren't surprised by Gu Ning's answer.
After appreciating the car for a long while, they unwillingly walked away and let Gu Ning drive away in it.
They were going back to their school, so Tang Jiakai left with them.
Gu Ning, on the other hand, went back to Huafu Hills by herself.
She went to take a bath once she was home. As she was walking out of the bathroom, she received Leng Shaoting's message.
She called him back and chatted with him for nearly an hour on the phone.
The next day, Gu Ning went for a run in the morning before she came back home and put on sportswear.
When it was almost 11 am, Gu Ning told Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to do their own things because she needed to go out.
Qiao Ya got curious seeing Gu Ning's sportswear. "Lady Ning, where are you going in this sportswear?"
"I'm going to play basketball with my friends today," Gu Ning said.
…
It was nearly 12 pm when Gu Ning arrived, and she bought a basketball halfway.
Tang Jiakai was already waiting for her at the gate. He ran forward once Gu Ning's car showed up.
The car stopped in front of him, and Gu Ning got out of it.
"Hi, Ningning, have you eaten?" Tang Jiakai asked.
"Yeah, how about you?" Gu Ning asked.
"Me too," Tang Jiakai said.
After that, they walked inside together. There was a basketball court that was open for the public.
"We still have 10 minutes, how do you plan to persuade them to have a game with you?" Tang Jiakai asked with curiosity.
"I don't know. If I can't persuade them to do it, I'll directly challenge them," Gu Ning said and shrugged.
"Well…" Tang Jiakai was surprised and felt nervous.
"We can play on the basketball court near the exit, which is too noticeable to be ignored. You can have a round with me, and I'll beat you by a wide margin to attract their attention, then I'll challenge them," Gu Ning said.
People who were in the stadium were all basketball lovers, and they would stop to watch if the game was exciting.
Tang Jiakai, however, was a little scared because he knew that he was no match for Gu Ning. However, in order to take revenge, he had to work with Gu Ning.
A while later, Gu Ning and Tang Jiakai began to play against each other on the court.
Tang Jiakai played basketball in his daily life because it was good for him to grow taller, so he wasn't bad at it. Nevertheless, Gu Ning moved too fast and it was impossible for Tang Jiakai to keep the ball in his hands for more than a few seconds.
Once Gu Ning grabbed the ball away from him, she directly threw it into the hoop.
Tang Jiakai tried to stop Gu Ning from getting points, but he failed every time.
Gu Ning easily passed Tang Jiakai, but she didn't throw the ball until she stood by the three-point line. The basketball was thrown, then accurately fell into the hoop.
After Gu Ning scored several continuous three-point field goals, she started to get people's attention. More and more people surrounded the basketball court they were on.
Chapter 1182 Tempt Them into the Game
In the following minutes, Gu Ning continued to easily avoid Tang Jiakai and throw the basketball into the hoop."OMG, she's so awesome!"
"Is she a professional basketball player?"
"…"
Some people thought that Gu Ning was very skillful, but some didn't think so.
"I think the boy is too weak."
"She's short and slim. I don't think she's a professional."
"I agree."
It was true that Gu Ning was too short to be a professional basketball player. Normally, a female professional basketball player couldn't be shorter than 1.75m.
However, although Gu Ning was only 1.65m, the national team probably would invite her to join them given her outstanding skills.
Therefore, rules were only set for ordinary people, and Gu Ning was an exception.
Tang Jiakai felt sad after being overshadowed by Gu Ning on the basketball court.
"Hey, beauty, he's too weak for you. Can I help him?" someone shouted at Gu Ning all of a sudden.
"Sure. I don't care how many of you want to help him," Gu Ning said.
Hearing that, two other men walked forward.
Tang Jiakai was already exhausted, so he left at once and let the three young men compete against Gu Ning.
"Are three of you going to play together against the girl? It's not fair!" someone said.
"It's fine. I don't think they can win," Gu Ning said with confidence.
Even though the three young men were displeased by Gu Ning's attitude, they could see that she wasn't an ordinary girl.
"Alright, I can be the judge," a man said. He had a whistle hanging on his neck.
"No problem." Gu Ning agreed.
The next second, the basketball game began, and other people all began to take a video of it.
Gu Ning was alone, so she held the ball at the beginning of the game.
The three young men were confident to win against a girl, but they soon found out that they couldn't grab the ball away nor stop Gu Ning from getting points.
The spectators were all surprised.
In the second round, the three young men held the ball, and they directly passed it among them. However, Gu Ning suddenly jumped and stole the ball away.
The moment she got the ball, she ran away fast.
No matter how the three young men tried to catch her and stop her, she was still able to throw the ball into the hoop with unerring accuracy.
Within a short while, Gu Ning successively threw six balls into the hoop, with the three young men failing to touch the ball even once.
In the end, they failed without doubt.
Right at this moment, it was 12 pm and many professional basketball players walked out.
"Oh, look, there are three men playing against a girl!"
"Jesus, the girl just scored a three-point field goal."
"It's just a three-point field goal. Nothing impressive," someone said with disdain. He was a member of the basketball team that Gu Ning was going to punish today.
The team was named the Bulls.
"It's not impressive that she just scored a three-point field goal, but she's competing against the three young men," another member said.
"I think she's good."
"That's because the three young men are too weak."
"Well, I don't think any of us can easily defeat her alone," Teng Xiaoyu's teammate said. Their team was called the Warriors.
"She's just a girl. She can't be better than us at playing basketball."
"I agree. She's no match for us!" The members of the Bulls took Gu Ning lightly. They were as arrogant as usual.
In fact, only the Warriors were better than them in the basketball matches this time, and they ranked second, so they decided to scheme against Teng Xiaoyu.
Since Teng Xiaoyu was injured now, they believed that they would be the champions.
"Really? Do you dare to have a try? I don't think any three of you can defeat the girl." A member of the Warriors challenged them.
It was just a trap.
"Why should we listen to you?" a member of the Bulls said.
"You're just a bunch of cowards," a member of the Warriors said.
"What did you just say? That's insane! Any of us can easily defeat the girl by themselves, but what can we get if we win?" The Bulls were annoyed by the Warriors.
"If you win, two of us will quit the game and only seven of us will play the finals. If you lose, you should do the same thing," a member of the Warriors said.
"No problem!" The Bulls agreed, because it was exactly what they wanted.
Although Teng Xiaoyu was the most important member of the Warriors, the rest of its members were highly skilled too.
Chapter 1183 Ends in Total Failure
Other basketball teams were very interested in the competition between the Bulls and the Warriors, because it was beneficial for them no matter which one won. As long as there were fewer competitors, they were more likely to be in the top three teams.
Although people only paid most attention to the champions, they could still have a bright future as the second or the third on the list.
Without further ado, a group of them went to the basketball court together.
Gu Ning noticed them when they had just walked out. Because of the distance, she couldn't hear their conversation, but she knew that the Bulls were attracted by the trap from their expressions.
It was easier to get them into the trap than Gu Ning thought.
When they reached the basketball court, Gu Ning was still playing the game, and they had to admit that Gu Ning was indeed very skillful. However, even though Gu Ning's performance on the court was quite impressive, the Bulls still didn't think that she was a threat.
"Hey, would you please stop for a while?" a member of the Warriors shouted.
Gu Ning smiled and stopped at once, so did the three young men.
The three young men felt utterly embarrassed now. However, they didn't hate Gu Ning because of that, but admired her very much.
"May I help?" Gu Ning asked and pretended that she knew nothing.
"Well, we've noticed your skills on the court, and we think that you're very good at playing basketball. Would you mind having a round with us?" a member of the Warriors asked.
"Sure, I haven't enjoyed myself yet!" Gu Ning agreed with alacrity.
"How do you want to play the game?" she asked.
"One versus one," the leader of the Bulls said with obvious disdain.
He didn't think that Gu Ning was a strong competitor.
"Are you sure?" Gu Ning asked. It was also obvious that she didn't think that he was a match for her.
Members of the Bulls were annoyed and glared at Gu Ning, but Gu Ning didn't care at all.
The leader of the Bulls said, "Any of us is enough to defeat you."
It sounded as if it was true.
Tang Jiakai and the members of the Warriors sneered. They thought that Gu Ning could easily defeat the Bulls by herself.
"Well, I don't think so. Why don't you send out a member to play a match with me first. Whoever scores three baskets wins. If I win, I'll pick five of your team to play another round with me. If you win, you can ask me to do anything as long as it's acceptable," Gu Ning said.
"No problem." The leader of the Bulls agreed. He hated hesitating and he was arrogant too. He didn't think that he would lose, so he thought that it wasn't a big deal to accept Gu Ning's challenge.
"Do you need to rest for a while, since you just had a round with them? We don't want to take advantage of you," the leader of the Bulls said.
He said that not because Gu Ning was a girl, but because he cared about the reputation of his team.
"No, thanks," Gu Ning said.
Gu Ning's confidence annoyed the Bulls.
"Alright, don't regret then," the leader of the Bulls said.
"I won't." Gu Ning smiled.
"Great, Lao Er, you can go to play a match with her." The leader of the Bulls gave an order.
Lao Er's age and skills ranked second in their team, and he was good at stealing and throwing balls.
The most skilled member of the Bulls was obviously its leader, but the leader didn't think that it was necessary for him to play against the girl.
"Sure," Lao Er said and stood out.
After that, everybody else stepped back and left the court to Gu Ning and Lao Er.
Everyone was excited to watch the game so they began to discuss it.
"Who do you think will win?"
"Um, although I do hope the girl can win, I think Lao Er is better than her."
"Lao Er is a professional basketball player after all."
"Right, the girl doesn't seem to be a professional."
"I agree."
"Em, I think the girl might win, because she looks very confident."
"I'm so excited!"
"…"
Some people thought that Gu Ning would win, while some believed that Lao Er would be the winner.
…
"A bunch of idiots. Ningning will certainly win!" Tang Jiakai was displeased when he heard others saying something negative about Gu Ning.
"Ha-ha, they'll soon be disappointed," a member of the Warriors said.
The judge was still the same person. He stood in the middle with a whistle in his mouth. The ball was in his hand, and Gu Ning along with Lao Er stood at his sides.
As the judge blew the whistle, he threw the ball up. Gu Ning and Lao Er jumped at the same time to grab it.
Many people believed that Lao Er could get the ball without doubt because Gu Ning was much shorter than Lao Er.
Nevertheless, Tang Jiakai and members of the Warriors had the opposite idea.
Gu Ning wasn't an ordinary girl, and height wasn't a problem for her. She could easily jump much higher than Lao Er, and got the ball the next second.
The scene shocked everyone.
1184 Lao Er Angrily Glares at Gu Ning
Because Tang Jiakai and the members of the Warriors already knew that Gu Ning would get the ball, they weren't surprised.
Although the game just began, Gu Ning proved her ability by getting the ball first.
Lao Er was very confident at the beginning, but soon found out that Gu Ning was much better than he thought.
He went to chase Gu Ning at once, but it was too late and Gu Ning moved faster than him. Within seconds, Gu Ning accurately threw the ball into the hoop.
"Wow!"
People standing by the court applauded loudly, but members of the Bulls were mad. Even though Gu Ning just got a point, they still refused to admit that she could play basketball better than them.
Lao Er glared at Gu Ning, but Gu Ning gave him a smile of disdain. She ignored him, then walked away, which annoyed Lao Er and he almost wanted to beat her.
They would decide who was the winner after three baskets were scored, and Gu Ning already won the first one.
Lao Er cheered himself up and was determined to win the next one.
The second round began. Because Lao Er lost first, he had the ball this time. Once the whistle sounded, Lao Er avoided Gu Ning and ran to find a good position to throw the ball.
He could only throw the ball after taking three steps, but Gu Ning stole the ball away when he had only taken two steps ahead. Lao Er was struck dumb by Gu Ning's speed.
Gu Ning moved too fast, so nobody could clearly see how she stole the ball, and they just saw the ball appear in her hands the next second.
"Jesus! She moves like lightning."
"How did she manage to do that?"
"…"
Everyone was astonished, and more people began to believe that Gu Ning could be the winner.
Lao Er soon got his mind back and ran towards Gu Ning to stop her. However, the same thing happened again. Before he could catch her, she already threw the ball into the hoop.
"No way!"
"Wow!"
People applauded and cheered.
"This girl is so unbelievable!"
"She already scored two baskets."
"It can't be a coincidence that she can score again and again."
"Exactly!"
"…"
"Damn it!"
The members of the Bulls were furious now, especially its leader, but he didn't blame Lao Er for it. Instead, he thought that it was Gu Ning��s fault.
Other members of the Bulls were getting worried that Lao Er might really lose, which would be super embarrassing.
The leader of the Bulls hadn't thought that it would be necessary for five of them to play a match against Gu Ning, but now he had to accept it, because he wanted to win. If they lost, they had to do what they had said they would when they bet with the Warriors.
Lao Er could do nothing about it, but gave Gu Ning another glare. Gu Ning snorted, "Is this all you can do? I thought that you are somebody since you have the courage to play the match against me by yourself."
"You haven't scored three points yet!" Lao Er said in anger.
He was arrogant, but wasn't dumb, and he knew that he was in a very dangerous situation now. Nevertheless, it was still hard for him to believe that a young and slim girl like Gu Ning could easily defeat him. After all, he was a professional basketball player who trained every day.
"Let's see!" Gu Ning said, then directly started the third round.
Lao Er had the ball again this time.
Gu Ning didn't stop him from reaching the hoop this time, but she suddenly stole the ball from him when he wanted to throw it into the hoop.
Everyone was shocked by the scene.
"OMG, I thought that he finally had a chance to score a point!"
"The girl jumped so high!"
"I can't believe my eyes."
"…"
They kept complimenting Gu Ning, but it was totally unacceptable in Lao Er's eyes. Given his ability, he should have thrown the ball into the hoop, but Gu Ning stole the ball halfway.
The members of the Bulls were stunned, and didn't know what to say.
Tang Jiakai and the members of the Warriors, on the contrary, felt satisfied. They were looking forward to watching the game when Gu Ning played against five members of the Bulls later.
The moment Gu Ning stole the ball away, she ran backwards to the other hoop, and Lao Er tried to catch her once more.
He failed without doubt.
Gu Ning stopped near the three-point line and threw it to the hoop without hesitation. Lao Er couldn't stop her, and the ball smoothly went into the hoop.
It was a three-point field goal! People were amazed and Gu Ning got another round of loud applause.
The members of the Bulls and members of the Warriors were in completely different moods right now.
Lao Er clenched his fists in anger, glaring at Gu Ning.
Gu Ning disliked Lao Er's glare. He always glared at her when he lost.
Chapter 1185 1 Vs. 5
Gu Ning pulled her lips and ignored him, then she turned to the leader of the Bulls. "Hey, your teammate just lost. Do five of you want to play against me?"Gu Ning's expression and tone were full of provocation."Sure, five of us will play together against you!" the leader of the Bulls said in anger. All he wanted to do now was to defeat Gu Ning.
Those who trusted Gu Ning still believed that she could win, but some were worried about her.
"Can she still win the game?"
"I don't think she can. It's not a fair game at all."
"The five of them are all professional basketball players. I think she'll lose this time."
"Well, the girl looks confident. Maybe she can win."
"…"
"Ningning will win!" Tang Jiakai said in a low voice, because he couldn't let others know that he was Gu Ning's friend.
"How to judge the competition?" the leader of the Bulls asked.
"We can judge on the amount of baskets we score within 15 minutes," Gu Ning said.
"No problem." The leader of the Bulls agreed.
After that, the leader and four other members of the Bulls stepped on the court.
Although the leader of the Bulls still refused to believe that Gu Ning was better than them, he joined the game in case any accidents happened.
The judge stood in the middle line of the court, and Gu Ning along with five members of the Bulls stood by his sides.
Gu Ning seemed to be too short and weak when she stood across from the five tall and strong men.
At this moment, several basketball coaches walked out, they were attracted by the scene and walked over.
Once they approached, the judge whistled and threw the ball up in the air. The leader of the Bulls jumped at once trying to hit the ball into his teammates' hands.
Gu Ning was playing alone, so she could directly grab the ball away.
Because of what had happened to Lao Er, the leader of the Bulls didn't dare to take Gu Ning lightly. However, Gu Ning still moved a second earlier than him and grabbed the ball away.
Those basketball coaches were greatly surprised by the scene. They had never seen a girl who could move so swiftly and jump so high before.
The leader of the Bulls was nearly 1.9 m tall, and Gu Ning was only 1.65m. There was a huge height gap between them.
The members of the Bulls were mad, and they began to surround Gu Ning to stop her from scoring again.
It wasn't easy for Gu Ning to successfully throw a ball into the hoop facing five professional basketball players on the court, but her aim wasn't to score this time. Instead, she planned to injure them without anyone knowing.
Therefore, Gu Ning wasn't eager to throw the ball, nor did she avoid them right away.
She was very knowledgeable about a person's acupoints, and she also knew how to hurt them by hitting these acupoints.
Within a short time, Gu Ning hurt two members of the Bulls by secretly hitting their acupoints.
The two members of the Bulls felt sudden pain and stopped at once, but they had no idea what had happened.
It was unavoidable to touch or knock into another person's body in a basketball game, so the audience didn't think too much about it.
Afterwards, Gu Ning seized the chance and threw the ball into the hoop.
The Bulls failed to stop her.
The audience loudly cheered and applauded.
Those basketball coaches were amazed too.
"Did the girl just score a basket when she was surrounded by five professional male basketball players?"
"Right, and the Bulls rank second in this year's basketball competition, but it can't defeat a young girl."
The coach of the Bulls was displeased and argued. "I don't think other basketball teams can defeat this girl either. It's obvious that this girl isn't simple at all."
Although he agreed that it was very embarrassing that five members of the Bulls failed to win the match against a young girl, he didn't think other professional basketball players could defeat Gu Ning either.
They were basketball coaches and they could see Gu Ning's unbelievable skills. At the same time, they were also curious about the reason why Gu Ning could so easily score a basket.
"Is this girl a member of the women's national basketball team?" A coach guessed.
Although Gu Ning wasn't tall enough, her skills mattered most. Since she could easily score a basket when she was surrounded by five professional male basketball players, she couldn't just be a basketball lover.
"I think this girl might be excellent at kung fu, so she's able to move so quickly," another coach said.
If she was a kung fu master, it would be reasonable for her to be able to win the game.
Chapter 1186 What Have You Done to Me?
Even if Gu Ning was a kung fu master, they didn't think that it was an unfair game, because it was Gu Ning's own skill.The five members of the Bulls felt humiliated and angry. They didn't expect that Gu Ning could really score a basket when she was surrounded by them. Therefore, they all glared at her.
If Gu Ning was a man, they would probably directly beat her.
Gu Ning didn't care about their glare, and instead gave them a look of disdain, which irritated them.
"She's so arrogant!"
"If she was a man, I'd beat her up. She just just hit me with her elbow, and my chest is still hurting now."
"Me too! She's much stronger than I thought."
They still thought that Gu Ning knocked into them by accident.
"Hey, if we lose the game, we can deny the agreement we made with them. It's already super embarrassing, so we don't need to care about the result. By the way, we can secretly hurt her to stop her from winning as well," the leader of the Bulls said in a low voice.
"Sure," his teammates all agreed.
After that, the game continued. Because the Bulls lost the ball in the first round, they had the chance to start the second round.
The five members of the Bulls tightly surrounded Gu Ning again to stop her from touching the ball.
The onlookers were annoyed, because they thought that it wasn't fair.
"Go for it, my goddess!" a person among the crowd suddenly shouted to support Gu Ning. He didn't know Gu Ning's name, so he directly called her his goddess.
Actually, it was a very suitable word to describe Gu Ning, because she was very pretty and good at playing basketball.
"Go for it, my goddess!" Other people began to encourage Gu Ning as well.
Nearly two third of the audience were Gu Ning's supporters.
…
The five members of the Bulls were mad, and they turned to vent their anger at Gu Ning. They glared at her as if they were going to swallow her raw and whole.
As the whistle sounded, a member of the Bulls started the second round. Gu Ning didn't grab the ball right away this time, and let the Bulls have it.
She had no intention to grab the ball this time, but to the audience it seemed like she couldn't do it because she was surrounded by the five men.
The other members of the Bulls didn't move away from Gu Ning, but still surrounded her as usual.
However, it wasn't allowed to surround a person too tightly for more than three seconds on the court, so they didn't stand in Gu Ning's way, but kept stopping her when she wanted to chase their teammate who had the ball.
However, it was difficult for them to stop Gu Ning by doing that.
Gu Ning swiftly got rid of them and it looked as if she disappeared out of their arms all of a sudden, which shocked the three men who surrounded her.
Even the audience was surprised by Gu Ning's speed.
At this time, the leader of the Bulls was about to throw the basketball. Right at this moment, Gu Ning jumped up high and stole the ball halfway in the air.
It had happened once before, but it still shocked everyone when it happened again.
Those basketball coaches were stunned this time.
…
"Wow, my goddess is so amazing!"
"She's perfect!"
The audience got extremely excited.
The leader of the Bulls was shocked when the ball was stolen away by Gu Ning, and the next second he got furious and began to attack Gu Ning.
His teammates ran over at once. They were prepared to secretly hurt Gu Ning. Because all of them were tall and strong, other people outside the court couldn't see their movements clearly, which gave them a great chance to do whatever they wanted.
Nevertheless, facing their aggressive movements, Gu Ning didn't panic. She stayed calm and filled her arms with magical power to make them as stiff and cold as ice blocks.
As a result, once they knocked Gu Ning's arms, they were the ones who felt hurt and pain.
They were surprised, but were unwilling to give up.
In the following minutes, they kept trying to hurt Gu Ning, but Gu Ning did the same thing to fight them back.
"What have you done to me?" One of them finally sensed that something wasn't right.
The other members didn't understand what had happened, and they continued to compete for the ball against Gu Ning, but they all failed.
"You just heavily knocked against my arm, so you should ask yourself what you've done," Gu Ning sneered.
"You…" The person was mad, but didn't know what to say. He had to stop attacking Gu Ning and tried to do his best to get the ball.
Gu Ning got rid of them once more and ran ahead alone.
When she was near the three-point line, she threw the ball out without hesitation.
Chapter 1187 Break His Wris
The audience was shocked, because nobody believed that she would be able to score a basket from such a long distance. She was several meters away from the three-point line after all.Even Tang Jiakai and the members of the Warriors were slightly worried.
However, even if the ball couldn't go into the hoop, Gu Ning wouldn't lose.
The members of the Bulls thought that it was impossible for Gu Ning to get a three-point field goal like that, so they ran forward trying to get the ball when it fell down.
However, the basketball didn't fall down without touching the hoop as they thought, but directly went into it.
The audience was stunned, then burst into thunderous applause.
"OMG, I can't believe my eyes!"
"It's so unbelievable."
"She's my goddess now."
"I truly admire her."
"…"
Many people, including those basketball coaches, were excited.
"This girl is really outstanding. I don't think we could do the same thing."
"No, I can't."
"Well, I need to talk with her later."
"It would be a shame if the women's national basketball team doesn't have her in it."
"Right, she's much better than the current members of the women's national basketball team."
"…"
Those basketball coaches kept complimenting Gu Ning.
The coach of the Bulls felt utterly embarrassed, but he had to admit that Gu Ning was indeed unbelievably good at playing basketball.
"Wow, Ningning is so incredible!" Tang Jiakai cheered with excitement.
"Jiakai, I'm a fan of your younger cousin right now."
"I think she can do anything."
"Jiakai, your younger cousin's skills are beyond my imagination!"
Tang Jiakai's friends were all impressed by Gu Ning's performance.
"Ha-ha, I'm so proud of her!" Tang Jiakai beamed.
The members of the Bulls, instead, hated Gu Ning more than ever.
Gu Ning frowned when they glared at her.
The game continued, but they still couldn't have the ball for long, because Gu Ning always stole it away and threw it into the hoop.
During this time, Gu Ning secretly injured them with her magical power to punish them.
As time went by, they gradually felt weaker and tired, which affected their movement on the court. They got angrier and became more aggressive.
"What are they doing?"
"It seems that they want to hurt the girl."
"How shameless are they!?"
"It's unacceptable!"
"…"
The audience soon noticed the inappropriate behavior of the members of the Bulls. Tang Jiakai and members of the Warriors were mad at them, but they could do nothing now.
Fortunately, Gu Ning looked fine when they bumped her. On the contrary, they seemed to be hurt afterwards.
Those basketball coaches saw it as well, and they were confused.
Why did Gu Ning look fine when those tall strong men bumped her? Was her body as tough as an iron wall?
At the end, the five members of the Bulls were all injured by Gu Ning and they could barely continue to play the game.
The leader of the Bulls lost patience, and raised his fist to punch Gu Ning's forehead.
Everyone was shocked by the scene, because it happened too fast and sudden.
Before the audience could shout out, the leader's fist stopped 30 centimeters away from Gu Ning's face. He didn't stop it himself, Gu Ning caught it.
Right after Gu Ning caught his fist, she used a lot of strength and broke his wrist.
The leader immediately screamed in pain and his face turned pale.
Gu Ning simply dislocated his wrist, so it wouldn't affect his future career as long as it was put back later.
The audience was shocked again, because Gu Ning was strong enough to break the leader's wrist.
"Are you alright?" The leader's teammates surrounded him in an instant. If their leader was injured, they would fail in the finals.
Those basketball coaches ran over in a hurry as well, especially the coach of the Bulls.
Tang Jiakai and the members of the Warriors, on the other hand, felt satisfied. They knew that the leader of the Bulls was the mastermind behind the scheme which was designed to hurt Teng Xiaoyu.
And although the leader was already injured, Tang Jiakai was still mad at his sudden movement to hurt Gu Ning, so he went over together with the members of the Warriors to support Gu Ning.
1188 Bai Rui
Many people around the court also ran over to have a look.
"How dare you hurt our leader!" The members of the Bulls glared at Gu Ning. It seemed that they would punch her at any moment.
They forgot one thing, which was that their leader actually asked for it himself.
They were a bunch of self-centered people, and they didn't think that what their leader had done was wrong. Instead, they blamed Gu Ning for everything.
"Nobody is blind here. He suddenly attacked me and I simply protected myself from his punch. He's much taller and stronger than me. If I didn't learn some kung fu skills, I would have been punched by him," Gu Ning said.
"You…" The members of the Bulls panicked.
In fact, all of them had tried to hurt Gu Ning, but they all failed. At the same time, they realized that Gu Ning had learned some kung fu skills.
No wonder they couldn't hurt her.
"Bai Rui, are you a man or not? How could you attack a girl?" Tang Jiakai criticized the leader of the Bulls once he came.
Bai Rui was the leader of the Bulls.
If Gu Ning was really injured by him, Tang Jiakai would directly punch him.
Gu Ning was very important in the Tang family, and he cared about her as well. It was impossible that he would stand aside and do nothing when Gu Ning was bullied by others.
"Bai Rui, you can't do that to hurt a girl. Don't you know that it's unacceptable on the court?" The coach of the Bulls also scolded Bai Rui.
Even though the coach was anxious seeing Bai Rui injured, he knew that it was Bai Rui's fault. There was no reason for him to criticize Gu Ning.
"Let's send him to the hospital right now. He's injured! What if he can't play basketball in the future?" a member of the Bulls said.
The upcoming basketball finals were more important in their eyes.
"He's injured because of his rude and aggressive behavior. He asked for it himself. He should apologize to me," Gu Ning said in anger.
"Right, you should apologize to this girl for your inappropriate behavior!" A person in the crowd supported Gu Ning.
"Bai Rui is the one who's injured now." A member of the Bulls argued.
His argument annoyed many people, and someone retorted, "He asked for it himself. What if the girl didn't catch his fist?"
"How could a tall strong man attack a girl all of a sudden?"
"…"
People were all criticizing Bai Rui.
"Bai Rui, you should apologize," the coach of the Bulls said with an annoyed expression. He didn't want the reputation of the Bulls to be ruined.
"My hand is already injured. Isn't it enough?" Bai Rui was reluctant to apologize, because he didn't think that he had done anything wrong.
It was obvious that Bai Rui didn't listen to their criticisms.
The other coaches couldn't stand it any longer.
"Bai Rui, your hand is injured because of your sudden and rude behavior, and you should apologize to this girl," the coach of the Warriors said.
Actually, the coach of the Warriors was aware of what Bai Rui had done to his team, but he didn't have solid proof.
As a result, the coach of the Warriors hated the Bulls, and he felt pleased when Gu Ning defeated them on the court.
"Bai Rui, it's your fault, and you should take responsibility for your own behavior."
"We just want you to apologize for your inappropriate behavior. If you refuse to do so, your own career will be affected."
The other coaches persuaded Bai Rui.
Hearing that, Bai Rui had to give in even though he was unwilling to do so.
"Fine, I'm sorry," he said in a low voice to Gu Ning.
However, his voice was too low and not many people could hear it.
Chapter 1189 A Pair of Tough Arms
Although Gu Ning heard it, she wasn't satisfied. "Could you raise your voice? I don't see your sincerity.""You…" Bai Rui was mad. He thought that Gu Ning said it on purpose, but he had to tolerate it.
Bai Rui took a long breath in and said louder, "I'm sorry."
He apologized without sincerity again, but Gu Ning didn't mind. She made him apologize again in order to humiliate him.
"Alright, you can go to the hospital now, but the game must continue," Gu Ning said. She had no intention to end this game just because Bai Rui was injured.
"Why?" Bai Rui was furious.
"What? Do you think that you'll lose, so you are trying to deny the agreement?" Gu Ning retorted.
"You…" Bai Rui didn't know what to say, because Gu Ning told the truth.
"Would you be willing to stop this game if you knew that you'd win?" Tang Jiakai asked.
In fact, even if the Bulls lost, they couldn't force any of its members to quit the competition, because it wasn't up to them to make this decision.
Besides, as long as the Bulls denied the result and refused to keep their promise, they couldn't do anything about it. They didn't write the agreement down on paper after all, and it had no restrictions on them.
However, they still wanted the game to continue, because they felt very pleased when the Bulls couldn't score a basket at all.
"Alright, Bai Rui should go to the hospital right now, the rest of you continue to play the game," the coach of the Bulls said.
"Why?" The members of the Bulls were anxious. If the game stopped halfway, they still could keep their good reputation. If they lost at the end of the game, their reputation would be damaged.
As for the agreement they had with the Warriors, none of them took it seriously.
"Didn't you want to compete with the girl?" The coach of the Bulls was annoyed.
"Yes, but…" The members of the Bulls couldn't deny it, but they still tried to explain something. Nevertheless, their coach stopped them. "Since you proposed it yourself, you should finish this game. It's not embarrassing if you lose, but it's embarrassing if you refuse to finish it."
Although he knew that the Bulls were doomed to fail, he thought that they had to accept the result.
Since their coach remained adamant, the members of the Bulls could do nothing about it. They had to finish the game.
Bai Rui, however, was taken to the hospital.
…
In the remainder of the game, the Bulls lost, which wasn't a surprising result.
Within 15 minutes, Gu Ning scored nearly 30 goals, and 20 of them were three-point field goals, while the Bulls scored zero.
The Bulls felt utterly embarrassed, because even five of them couldn't defeat a young girl.
The other basketball teams didn't dare to laugh at the Bulls, because they knew that they weren't better than the Bulls.
As for those who wanted to secretly hurt Gu Ning, they were all hurt by Gu Ning in the end.
Gu Ning had a pair of unusually tough arms, and they felt a lot of pain once she bumped them with her arms. They hated Gu Ning deeply, but didn't dare to criticize her.
…
"Wow, Ningning, you're so unbelievable!" Tang Jiakai jumped with excitement like a kid.
"Miss Gu, we're all amazed by your performance."
"I'm your fan right now."
"Me too! Can I take a photo with you?"
"…"
Members of the Warriors surrounded Gu Ning and kept complimenting her.
Although they were aware of Gu Ning's impressive skills, they still thought that today's result was too good to be true.
They were excited and shocked by it.
The members of the Bulls realized that the Warriors were familiar with Gu Ning from their conversation.
Since they were familiar with each other, it was likely that having them play a match with Gu Ning was a trap.
The members of the Bulls thought they must have done this to take revenge for Teng Xiaoyu.
The more they thought about it, the more likely they believed it could be.
Even though not many people knew that they had something to do with the accident which happened to Teng Xiaoyu, they believed that the members of the Warriors had to be aware of it. Because ever since Teng Xiaoyu was injured, members of the Warriors would glare at them when they saw one another.
1190 A Shameless Team
Nevertheless, they couldn't do anything about it. If they wanted to expose this secret, what had happened to Teng Xiaoyu would be revealed as well. In that case, they might be disqualified from taking part in the finals.
Therefore, they had to tolerate it even though they were full of anger. Unfortunately, not every member of the Bulls could stay calm and reasonable.
"Since you're familiar with each other, was this game a trap set for us?" A member of the Bulls questioned the Warriors at once. However, although he asked that question, he already had the answer.
The members of the Warriors was struck dumb for a second. They were surprised that this secret was exposed so soon. However, they didn't care about it at all.
Onlookers fell into silence after hearing the question and they looked confused. They didn't understand why the Warriors would lay a trap for the Bulls.
"What exactly is going on here?" The coach of the Warriors cocked his eyebrow. In fact, he was also aware of what had happened to Teng Xiaoyu not too long ago, so he knew that the Warriors did it for Teng Xiaoyu.
He felt sorry for Teng Xiaoyu because he was still lying in a hospital bed.
"What do you mean? We just know each other, but it doesn't mean that this game was a trap!" a member of the Warriors argued at once.
The other members of the Warriors all put on a calm face. They were mentally prepared, so they didn't seem guilty at all.
"If this game wasn't a trap, why would you make that bet with us?" The Bulls were mad.
"Because you disdained Miss Gu first. That was witnessed by everyone here. You can't deny it. Besides, five members of your team failed to defeat Miss Gu on the court. It's enough to show your ability." the Warriors mocked the Bulls.
"Yeah, we witnessed that."
"They challenged Miss Gu first."
Other members of other basketball teams all agreed, because most of them disliked the Bulls. The Bulls were notorious for their arrogance, and nobody liked their behavior.
"You…" The members of the Bulls didn't know what to say now.
"Alright, stop arguing with them." Another member of the Bulls stopped him without delay.
"Since you lost the game, shouldn't you fulfill your promise?" a member of the Warriors said.
"Promise? What promise?" The members of the Bulls played dumb all of a sudden. They had agreed not to admit it earlier, so they pretended that it never happened.
Hearing that, everyone knew that the Bulls decided to deny it.
"Are you going to deny it?" The members of the Warriors weren't surprised, because they knew that the Bulls was a shameless team.
Although the Bulls refused to fulfill their promise, the Warriors still wanted to embarrass them in public.
"We're not, but you can't force us to do something we never promised to do!" The Bulls argued.
"What promise?" The coaches of the other basketball teams were curious.
"It never existed," the Bulls denied it at once.
"Well, the thing is…" other people who were aware of the agreement between the Bulls and the Warriors explained the whole story to those who weren't aware of it without hesitation.
After knowing the whole story, everyone thought that the Bulls was a shameless team.
Since the Bulls were arrogant and took Gu Ning lightly, which caused their failure, they should do what they had promised to do.
"Bullshit!" The Bulls still refused to admit it. They thought that nobody could punish them as long as they kept on denying it.
"How could you be so shameless?" The members of the Warriors were annoyed.
"So what? Do you have any proof?" The members of the Bulls wanted to leave.
"Stop there! We have a voice recording to prove it!" A member of the Warriors suddenly took out his phone.
"You…" The members of the Bulls panicked, and two of them ran to grab the phone at once.
However, the members of the Warriors dashed to stop them without delay.
