"Ah~~~ So cool, so cool!"
On the stands, Zhang Tianai's shriek was the first to be heard, "Brother, I'm not going back to Pu, I want to stay at Zhuji Middle School..."
Zhang Zhenpeng ignored his sister's infatuation beside him and muttered to himself, "That's impressive! With this dunking ability, you hid it so deeply... Should I be your opponent, or your teammate?"
In the Zhuji Middle School player's bench, Cui Tianci's mouth hung open in astonishment as he asked Chen Feng, who was also in a daze, "Am I seeing things? Was that He Ximeng who just performed a one-handed dunk?"
Chen Feng closed his mouth, swallowed, and shook his head, "We can't both be seeing things... The one who dunked just now was definitely the captain... But when did the captain gain such jumping ability?"
"Also, isn't Simon's height more than 1.80 meters?" Cui Tianci agreed with Chen Feng and began to wonder if He Ximeng had grown taller recently...
"This is unfair... We're already in our final year of high school, how can we still grow taller? What about people like us who are less than 1.75 meters tall?"
Cui Tianci was also quite a character. While everyone was still basking in the afterglow of He Ximeng's stunning dunk, he had already shifted his attention to his own height.
Chen Feng glanced at the 1.73-meter-tall Cui Tianci, then at his own height of 1.79 meters, and unconsciously puffed out his chest...
Also shocked was He Ximeng's old rival, Chen Qiudao.
"Kid, have you been on the wrong medicine lately? Not only has your playing style changed dramatically, but your physique is also completely different from before. Honestly, have you been taking stimulants..."
He Ximeng rubbed his sore right wrist and calmly replied, "No stimulants, but I've learned a lot of useful basketball tactics... How about it? Why don't you transfer to Zhuji Middle School, and we can team up! You like scoring, you play shooting guard, and I'll pass you the ball..."
Chen Qiudao was stunned, thinking He Ximeng was teasing him. He rolled his eyes and went directly to the baseline to inbound the ball.
The friendly match was to continue, but since the one-handed follow-up dunk, no one dared to doubt He Ximeng's scoring ability.
In the subsequent game, He Ximeng did not continue to attempt his shots, because he understood that he had not yet fully mastered his sudden strength and was not coordinated in all aspects.
But not shooting did not prevent He Ximeng from scoring. With his current speed, ball-handling skills, ability to call plays, make tactical arrangements on the fly, and seize opportunities, he could still easily use breakthroughs to attack the basket and score.
Unless Cao Ta Middle School resorted to "fouling tactics" and sent him to the free-throw line.
But Cao Ta Middle School did not know He Ximeng's true capabilities, nor did they know that his shooting touch was currently extremely unstable...
Later, under He Ximeng's command, Zhuji Middle School successively replaced starting players like Yan Hui with reserve players led by Chen Feng for normal rotation.
He Ximeng did not leave the court; instead, he continued to score and "guide" his teammates on the bench...
Driven by He Ximeng, Zhuji Middle School, whether in their starting lineup or reserve lineup, had multiple players scoring. As long as they were willing to run and could run, and opportunities arose, He Ximeng's passes would arrive as promised.
The score between the two sides continued to widen.
Cao Ta Middle School's head coach originally tried to shorten the rotation and extend the playing time of Yu Chu and Chen Qiudao to improve the overall strength of the rotation, but as long as He Ximeng was on the court, Cao Ta Middle School could not gain any advantage...
The entire game ended, and He Ximeng successfully achieved a double-double: 15 points and 15 assists! In fact, he also had 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block.
On Cao Ta Middle School's side, Chen Qiudao scored a game-high 23 points, but it was in vain. Cao Ta Middle School still lost this friendly match with a score of 63:74.
Chen Qiudao could score himself, but he was not good at facilitating his teammates' scoring.
Yu Chu was subjected to a full-court double-team by Zhuji Middle School, who never gave him a chance to play freely.
He Ximeng's strategy was also not complicated; it was to not hesitate to trade Yan Hui for Yu Chu but to prevent Cao Ta Middle School's inside offense from being effective.
By suppressing Cao Ta Middle School's inside game, they neutralized the opponent's favorite and most proficient offensive tactic. At the same time, by collapsing the defense, they forced Chen Qiudao to stay as far away from the paint as possible, compelling him to take mid-to-long-range jump shots...
Cao Ta Middle School was not known for its outside shooting, so under He Ximeng's targeted defense, they were defeated step by step and ultimately lost this friendly match without suspense.
After the game, the players from both sides shook hands.
He Ximeng did not forget to try to persuade Chen Qiudao and Yu Chu to transfer to Zhuji Middle School again...
Yu Chu left without a word, and Chen Qiudao gave him the middle finger in return...
He Ximeng rubbed his chin, realizing that recruiting Yu Chu and Chen Qiudao to strengthen Zhuji Middle School might not be the right path!
