Chapter 131 - Really Can’t Play Basketball (2/2)

Senior Ah Ning seemed to be considering it carefully. True, he had never seen Meng Fan play basketball in school. He believed half of it. “Really?”

Meng Fan nodded.

Senior Ah Ning indulged for a moment and continued, “Then you can just be responsible for scoring. I won’t hide it from you, but we’ve been having trouble finding a proper shooter. You can shoot, accurately too, so you’re much better than someone who doesn’t know how to dribble or score. Currently, our team has 5 people. You will be the substitute, and we can try it out. Would that be okay?”

Meng Fan thought about it. “I can try it, but I can’t guarantee that I can still score properly if someone is blocking me.”

“Of course we won’t force you.” Senior Ah Ning was happy to hear Meng Fan’s response. After all, it was hard to find a decent player in the animation department.

Meng Fan didn’t know how to dribble or pass the ball, but it was hard to come by someone who was so accurate at scoring.

Besides, Meng Fan’s height was made for basketball. As for his figure… He was suitable to be a forward.

Only Meng Fan was responsible for scoring. He didn’t know how to dribble or pass the ball, so he would be a useless forward.

Rebounds? That seemed difficult as well.

Regardless, it was enough to have someone who could score.

“Do you have time in the afternoon then? Let’s go meet the players first and get to know each other. Also, try your accuracy on the basketball court, and your accuracy when someone is blocking you.”

“Okay, but I don’t have that much time.”

Meng Fan had a high sense of belonging and duty towards his class. He also had a collective sense of honor for the animation department, so he explained he was needed elsewhere afterward.

But truthfully, Meng Fan wasn’t sure if he could really help out.

His accuracy wasn’t an issue. Not only on shooting machines but on real baskets as well. After all, he was able to hit Zhang Zhou Wei’s cosplayed basketball hoop. But he had no idea what his precision would be like if someone was defending him.

When Meng Fan and Ah Ning left the classroom, most of the classmates in the room began to follow them out.

His classmates had all seen his basketball stream and knew of Meng Fan’s advancement into the Hangzhou city qualifiers. They were all curious to see his terrifying hand speed.

Hence, they all followed him to the basketball court.

Once they arrived, the other team members from the animation department were already there, with several spectators standing to the side as well. The spectators mostly consisted of students from freshman and junior years. They are most likely coerced into cheering for the team.

“Iron Uncle!”

Among them was Qu Jing Jing and her group of girls. Seeing Meng Fan, they all ran over.

When they heard Meng Fan was joining the basketball team to practice, the group of girls suddenly ran over, confusing Meng fan.

“Ball.”

Senior Ah Ning picked up a basketball and passed it to Meng Fan.

Thump.

When Meng Fan received it, he felt the ball, but he didn’t catch it.

Senior Ah Ning smiled awkwardly. “Uhm, let’s try scoring.”
