Three throws and three successful shots! Moreover, they were all three-pointers. This caused the spectators’ jaws to drop.

If luck was the reason for the first two throws, this throw had to be Cheng Nuo’s skill. He was able to do it!

Cheng Nuo was very skilled at basketball, very skilled! That was the conclusion made by the tanned leader of class three.

The tanned student looked at Cheng Nuo, who was acting as though nothing had happened, with a gloomy expression. He was very certain that Cheng Nuo was pretending to be bad at basketball initially. He was probably better than everyone in the court.

However, for some reason, Cheng Nuo had not done anything in the first half of the match. Moreover, the tanned student was able to snatch the ball from Cheng Nuo before.

He nodded to his teammates and said, “Watch out for number 11, he is very good! Li Yan, watch him closely and try to prevent him from shooting.”

“Alright, I got it.” The student named Li Yan nodded seriously.

Seeing how his teammates felt disappointed with the three consecutive three-pointers, the tanned student patted their shoulders and cheered them on. “Rest assured. Although I don’t know why he didn’t do anything in the first half of the match, we are still leading by 13 points. It will not be easy to catch up!”

Lin Hu looked at Cheng Nuo as though he had seen a ghost. He could not understand what had just happened.

Before he could understand the reason, the match resumed.

Even though class three was blocking Cheng Nuo the whole time, after 30 seconds, Cheng Nuo caught a ball passed by Lin Hu.

“Distance: 10.21 m, wind speed: -0.78 m/s, height: 2.42 m, angle: 57.86 degrees, force required: 93.72 Newtons…”

Cheng Nuo jumped up slightly and was about to shoot.

“Li Yan!” the tanned student shouted loudly when he saw that.

“Got it,” said Li Yan with a deep voice as he jumped up in front of Cheng Nuo, stretching out his right hand. He was about to intercept Cheng Nuo’s throw.

The instant Li Yan jumped up, the data in Cheng Nuo’s brain changed.

“Height: 183 cm, weight: 71 kg, current height: 2.42 m, highest possibility: 2.71 m, speed of jump: 0.5…”

“4 m/s…”

All the data regarding Li Yan was calculated by Cheng Nuo in his mind.

“Move back: 0.75 m, height to jump: 2.31 m, angle: 60.24 m, force: 108.27 Newtons…”

Cheng Nuo took a step with his right foot, jumped, and shot! He did that all at once without any delay.

From what the tanned student saw, the basketball was moving extremely fast when it left Cheng Nuo’s hand, as though Cheng Nuo had not controlled his strength. Based on his experience with basketball, the ball would definitely miss the net and land outside the court.

Hahaha! It seemed that player number 11 was not as good as he had thought!

Although it was almost impossible for one to score from more than ten meters away, one still had to more or less control their strength.

The tanned student thought about it and concluded that if he were to make the throw, although he might not be able to score, he would still be able to land the ball near the basket.

However, the tanned student, who was keeping track of the ball, suddenly lost the smile on his face. He became very serious.

Li Yan leaped up, clenched his teeth, stretched out his right hand, and attempted to intercept the ball in midair. However, he was not tall enough. Li Yan’s fingertips barely touched the ball and he was unable to intercept it.

However! Because of Li Yan’s touch, the high speed that the ball was travelling at initially was slowed down to normal.

Pang—! Swoosh—!

To the despair of the tanned student, the ball hit the basket, made a turn, and made its way into the net.
