The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 203: Go, Pikachu! Second update!
Second update!
"Let me introduce to you all, this is Chu Qingxue’s fiancé, Ye Chenfeng! I’ve heard Mr. Ye is quite the basketball player, do you guys want to see Mr. Ye show off his skills?" Kong Zhe said.
"Great, a warm welcome! Let’s welcome Mr. Ye to show us his skills!" Naturally, these basketball players knew Kong Zhe fancied Chu Qingxue, and his purpose in doing this was to make things difficult for Ye Chenfeng. Understanding Kong Zhe’s intention, everyone started egging him on.
It was only then that Chu Qingxue realized Kong Zhe was indirectly trying to put Ye Chenfeng in a tight spot.
But was it not like brandishing a broadsword before Guan Yu, a mark of overestimation, to let Ye Chenfeng, who could barely count as an amateur, play basketball in front of top professional athletes from Divine Land?
"Captain Kong, don’t joke with me. If I show my skills to you, wouldn’t I just be asking for a beating?" Ye Chenfeng said with a smile, rejecting the idea.
"How could that be? If Ms. Chu likes you, Mr. Ye, your basketball skills must be very high!" Kong Zhe said with a smile that was tiger-like.
"Captain Kong, I can’t even count as an amateur. Playing street basketball is fine, but compared to professional players like you, I’m just trash!"
"Mr. Ye, don’t put yourself down. There’s a saying that goes: ’True masters are found amongst the common folk.’ Actually, there are many hidden masters in Divine Land, and they are much more formidable than us when they enter the court!" Kong Zhe was now coaxing Ye Chenfeng in various ways.
"Really?" Ye Chenfeng seemed eager to try.
"Come on! Of course, men should sweat it out on the sports field. Besides, Ms. Chu is right beside you. I don’t think Mr. Ye would lose face as a man!" Kong Zhe knew exactly what to say, using Chu Qingxue to provoke Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng readily accepted, "Captain Kong, you got that right. A man’s face cannot be lost. But how shall we compare?"
Seeing Ye Chenfeng agree, Kong Zhe felt a weight lifted off his heart and spoke, "Performing alone is no fun, Mr. Ye. How about this? Let’s play one-on-one basketball."
"Playing one-on-one with you? Forget it, I won’t compete!" Ye Chenfeng flatly refused.
"Of course, it has to be fair, Mr. Ye. Listen to me. We’ll play one-on-one, but I can only use one hand, and I can only shoot three-pointers from beyond the arc! You can attack any way you like!" Kong Zhe said.
Ye Chenfeng did not agree, "How can this be fair? You already said, you can’t lose face in front of a lady. If you go easy on me like this, isn’t that slapping my face? If we’re going to do it, let’s do it fairly. Even if I lose, I want to lose with dignity!"
"Good, Mr. Ye, I admire you!" Kong Zhe was inwardly overjoyed, already imagining in his mind the scenes of him triumphing over Ye Chenfeng.
"Shall we begin then? I haven’t touched a basketball in so long, my hands are itching!" Ye Chenfeng appeared impatient to start.
"Competing with Captain Kong is like seeking death!"
"Idiot, you were given a chance, but you still want fairness? You’re just asking to be humiliated!"
"In terms of individual ability, no one on our basketball team can defend against him!"
"Give me a break, even two people can’t guard against him, maybe three or four could try. One or two people have no chance. Do you think he has the nickname ’Divine Land’s Curry’ for nothing?"
...
The basketball team members were all discussing amongst themselves, and without exception, they all looked down on Ye Chenfeng.
Chu Qingxue bit her lip, looking at Ye Chenfeng, "Ye Chenfeng, maybe you shouldn’t?"
Chu Qingxue knew very well that unless Ye Chenfeng had superpowers, he had no chance of winning against Kong Zhe. Beating Kong Zhe was like the impossible events in mathematics.
Little did she know, Ye Chenfeng glanced at her and said, "Wife, just watch from the side, okay? Watch how I dominate the court!"
"Crazy!"
"Idiot!"
...
Ye Chenfeng was once again scorned by the basketball team.
"The rule of the game is whoever scores ten baskets first wins! Mr. Ye, you take the offense first!" Kong Zhe passed the ball to Ye Chenfeng, then spread his arms and bent his waist, his toes touching the ground, taking a standard defensive stance.
Ye Chenfeng clumsily reached for the ball, but it bounced away, immediately drawing laughter from the basketball team.
This was Kong Zhe intentionally making it difficult for Ye Chenfeng by putting a spin on the pass.
Seeing a group of people bullying Ye Chenfeng, Chu Qingxue was also somewhat angry. Kong Zhe, who usually seemed polite, turned out to be such a person.
"Come on, Ye Chenfeng!" Chu Qingxue didn’t know what else to do, so she simply made a cheering gesture.
Every guy has had this experience: playing on the basketball court when a beautiful girl suddenly appears beside you. At that moment, everyone plays with extra vigor. It’s not about showing off, it’s a natural male instinct, an urge to impress in front of women.
Now, with a super beauty like Chu Qingxue cheering him on, Ye Chenfeng felt a surge of energy too, thinking to himself: Whatever, national league MVP, stand aside for me.
Kong Zhe, seeing Chu Qingxue cheering for Ye Chenfeng, felt a pang of jealousy.
Just wait, I’ll make you completely helpless, and let Chu Qingxue see what a real man is.
"Let’s start, I’ll be the referee. First ball, Mr. Ye takes the offense!" Blackie called out in his broken Divine Land language, acting as the referee.
"Hold on, let me ask, is it just getting the ball into the basket?" Ye Chenfeng asked with a puzzled face.
"Yes, just throw the ball in to win!" Kong Zhe said impatiently.
"Serve the ball, start!"
Kong Zhe slapped the basketball to Ye Chenfeng, this time not making it difficult for him, and Ye Chenfeng caught the ball with ease.
"Eight meters, nine meters, ten meters!"
Something unexpected happened: Ye Chenfeng muttered these distances to himself while casually dribbling the ball towards the Central Line.
"Gah!"
Kong Zhe and the entire basketball team were gobsmacked. What’s happening? Surely, Ye Chenfeng hasn’t misunderstood the rules and is taking the ball to the opposite hoop for a layup?
Chu Qingxue also looked confused, not knowing what Ye Chenfeng was up to.
"Alright, this distance feels a bit more comfortable!"
Finally, Ye Chenfeng stopped just in front of the Central Line, facing the hoop and said something.
"He’s not going to... he’s not about to shoot from the Central Line, is he?" The basketball team was stunned, their eyes wide with horror as they watched Ye Chenfeng.
"Go, Pikachu!"
In front of everyone’s eyes, Ye Chenfeng shouted loudly, and with an extremely awkward shooting posture, he threw the basketball.
"Swoosh!"
The basketball traced a perfect parabola through the air, heading straight for the hoop.
"He really shot from the Central Line?" Kong Zhe’s eyeballs looked like they were about to fly out, moving with the trajectory of the basketball.
The others felt the same, time seemed to freeze at that moment, and space slowed down as the basketball’s path turned into slow motion.
"Bang!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
The basketball, like a precision bomb, hit dead center on the white backboard, making a roaring sound, and after ricocheting, the ball neatly entered the hoop.
