Chapter 133 - A Different Kind Of Dribble Practice (1/2)
In these six minutes, senior Ah Ning and the other onlookers had been completely dumbfounded by Meng Fan’s whimsical shooting postures.
Have you ever seen someone shoot a basketball like a shot put?
Have you ever seen someone shoot a basketball from a twisted position so unbalanced that he couldn’t even stand?
Whipped out from behind?
Using their left hand to whip it?
Have you seen a backward basket?
Suddenly throwing it as he ran…Well, this was probably a foul.
Overall, even if he wasn’t the first on earth to try it, each one of Meng Fan’s shooting positions would induce a surprised reaction from the spectators.
Each time he used such a strategy and the ball went in, it could almost be said it was guided in by divine intervention, or he was blessed by the heavens.
As for Meng Fan… it was impossible to be 100% accurate. God was busy enough maintaining an 80% accuracy rate for him. This made everyone suspect that Meng Fan’s family was in the religious business.
Now it wasn’t just the red-haired youth defending him, but three other guys. However, they were of no use. Meng Fan’s actions were unblockable!
Senior Ah Ning was overjoyed. With Meng Fan’s basket scoring abilities, they would stand a chance at this year’s basketball tournament as long as they could get the ball to him!
Suddenly, Senior Ah Ning saw someone approaching from another department’s team. Instantly he cried out, “Stop shooting, stop shooting!”
Meng Fan paused along with the other three team members. They all looked towards senior Ah Ning.
“Why are you shooting if you can’t even receive?!”
Senior Ah Ning looked stern but winked at Meng Fan as he spoke.
Thankfully he wasn’t dressed as a woman. Otherwise, Meng Fan would have misunderstood that wink as a flirtatious move!
The three other team members also noticed the people from the other departments’ basketball teams and closed their mouths. Who didn’t know what senior Ah Ning meant?
He was their trump card!
Meng Fan’s scoring abilities were definitely their trump card, hence why it had to be kept a secret from as many people as possible.
Of course, senior Ah Ning was right. Meng Fan did not need to practice his shooting, but his passing and dribbling needed a lot of work.
No matter how great he was at shooting, he would still be useless if he couldn’t get the ball.
Meng Fan did not have any objections and happily went off to practice receiving. All the other team members went off to practice on their own, and senior Ah Ning took over the responsibility for passing.
Only the spectators became uncomfortable. There was no more spectacle to watch. Of course, they could tell why senior Ah Ning had done what he did. They were all people from the animation department, and before they were finished sulking, they were chuckling among themselves. They all thought of a single scene.
Or more specifically, Meng Fan leading that scene astray!
“Senior Ah Ning.”
Qu Jing Jing and the other girls began to chatter as soon as Meng Fan stopped shooting. They then smiled as they approached senior Ah Ning and called to him unanimously. On behalf of all of them, Qu Jing Jing spoke, “All four of us know how to play basketball and we used to perform on the court as well. Why not let us teach the Iron senior how to pass the ball?”
“Basketball performance? Is it the kind where you hold a ball and walk back and forth?” Senior Ah Ning was very straight forward.
“We know how to pass at least.” Qu Jing Jing said seriously, “Senior Ah Ning, think about it, you’re only one person handing the ball to the Iron senior, but there are four of us, so it will be way more efficient. Besides, we can definitely exercise senior’s attention span if we train with him, don’t you think?”
Senior Ah Ning took a glimpse at the girls’ costumes and nodded in agreement. “Alright, you guys pass with him for now, I’ll help him practice later.”
Yes!
