The basketball, infused with Wang Shijie's fury, arced through the air, hurling viciously towards Li Chen.
Li Chen, always aware of his surroundings, how could he not notice the basketball flying toward him?
In fact, the moment Wang Shijie released the ball, he had already sensed it.
Li Chen didn't even look, just casually waved his hand and slapped the basketball flying toward him back out.
The basketball traced a perfect parabola towards the hoop.
Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the basketball circled the rim a few times before steadily dropping in.
Seeing this, many people applauded and cheered.
Even the boys playing with Wang Shijie couldn't help but praise the shot, calling out "Nice shot!"
However, before their words could land, they were met with Wang Shijie's fierce glare.
So, these people had no choice but to swallow the words that had reached their lips.
Wang Shijie steadied his mind and said to Li Chen with a forced, insincere smile, "Li Chen, I didn't expect you to play basketball too!"
Li Chen smiled lightly and said very modestly, "Just average, my skills are only slightly better than yours!"
Hearing Li Chen's words, Wang Shijie's face turned green with anger.
Just average? Skills only slightly better than mine?
Who is he looking down on?
Wang Shijie suppressed the rage in his heart and said resentfully, "Oh, is that so? Then do you dare to have a game with me on this basketball court?"
He's a key player on the school's basketball team, not quite a professional player, but still one of the best among his peers.
Because his hairstyle is like Sakuragi Hanamichi's from Slam Dunk, he was even nicknamed Sakuragi Hanamichi.
He didn't believe that Li Chen's basketball skills could be better than his.
As for that shot Li Chen made just before, to him, it was pure luck, like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse—not to be taken seriously.
After saying this, Wang Shijie looked at Li Chen with a provocative stare.
"What's the matter, are you scared?"
"If you're scared, just admit it. After all, losing to me, Wang Shijie, is nothing to be ashamed of!"
