Chapter 793: Chapter 793
The rest of the game was indeed lopsided, but it wasn't the towering male students who had the advantage, it was these seemingly frail girls.
They moved gracefully, and their footsteps were unpredictable.
The male students, who had started with overbearing confidence, were now in complete disarray.
Attempts to break through were intercepted, and when they wanted to engage in physical contests, these girls might have looked delicate, but each one was like an immovable wall of bronze and iron.
By the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was an astonishing 20 to 0.
The entire basketball court's audience was dumbfounded, struggling to believe what was happening before their eyes.
If the final score had been 20 for the boys, nobody would have been surprised, but now it was the girls who were leading by 20 points!
At first, many people thought the boys were just going easy on the girls, but as the game continued, everyone could see that the boys were giving it their all, yet the girls were simply too powerful.
"You bunch of losers are humiliating the men's team," Lu Feng said, fuming with anger.
Lu Feng was the captain of Zhonghai University's men's basketball team, known as the Zhonghai University's "Liu Shui," and seeing his teammates getting thrashed by a group of girls almost drove him insane.
The men's coach was just as enraged. He had originally wanted to thoroughly embarrass Lin Chen, but now it was he who was being constantly humiliated.
"Lu Feng, you take the main players on in a bit, and be careful, these girls are a bit odd," the coach said gravely.
"Don't worry, coach, these girls lack height and weight. Just watch, we will overtake the score in the second quarter," Lu Feng confidently asserted.
As the second quarter began, Zhonghai University's men's basketball team brought out their full-strength main players.
Seeing the men's main players take the court, a wave of excitement rolled through the crowd.
"It looks like the men's team is getting serious," someone commented.
"Yeah, once they do, the score will surely be quickly reversed," another agreed.
The second quarter officially started and, capitalizing on the men's basketball team's exquisite teamwork, the girls couldn't adapt to the opponent's pace and Lu Feng managed to make a fast break, scoring two points smoothly.
The game went on, and this time the girls weren't playing as effortlessly as before, with the score continually being closed in.
Despite this, several members of the men's team were still shocked by the level of combativeness exhibited by the women's team.
Just now, they thought the freshmen playing were useless, but it was only when they actually faced the women's team themselves that they realized these girls weren't pushovers.
The intensity on the court was even comparable to a real men's basketball confrontation.
Even though they were trying their best, by the end of the second quarter, they had only caught up by five points, with the score on the court at forty to twenty-five, the men's basketball team was still trailing by a wide margin.
At that moment, the entire training court went wild. Everyone knew they were facing Zhonghai University's men's basketball team, the third-place winner at the Huaxia University basketball championship, yet the match was evenly matched, with no clear winner.
During halftime, several of the girls were clearly not satisfied with their performance in the past quarter.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "You all did well. Do you know what the problem was?"
The girls shook their heads, puzzled.
Lin Chen continued with a faint smile, "You lack teamwork, fighting each on your own, which is why the opponent could disrupt your formation."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the girls suddenly understood.
"Next, I will teach you a tactic for field play." Saying this, Lin Chen picked up a tactical board and started explaining to the girls.
On the other side, several boys were wiping sweat, especially Lu Feng, who had a dark expression.
"What's the matter with you guys? How could you let them steal the ball so easily?" the coach yelled at the main players.
The players wore a look of grievance on their faces; they had played many games, but these girls were incredibly difficult to deal with.
If the opposition hadn't been new to team coordination, not only would they have failed to narrow the score gap, it was likely they would have fallen further behind.
Lu Feng wiped the sweat off his face with a towel, his gaze icy as he said, "Next quarter, we get physical if we need to get physical. We must catch up, losing to a women's team, we can't afford to lose face like that."
Following their captain's words, the boys were filled with renewed vigor. In their eyes now, the female players were no longer the fragile beings they had imagined; they intended to face these girls as true opponents.
Holding the basketball, Lu Feng looked at Jiang Qian and said coldly, "Good, you've completely enraged me; this quarter we are going to even out the score."
In response to Lu Feng's provocative words, Jiang Qian revealed a mocking smile, "Sure, but I guess by the end of this quarter, the final score will hurt you quite a bit."
Lu Feng snorted coldly and threw the ball into play.
However, this time, the male team was shocked to find that the women's team, which had just been scattered and relying on individual skill, suddenly demonstrated a completely different style of play right from the start of the game.
Their cooperative defense and close marking were excellent; for a moment, Lu Feng dribbled the ball but couldn't find any gaps in the women's defense.
During his moment of hesitation, Jiang Qian shot out like lightning, stole Lu Feng's ball, and launched a counterattack.
Lu Feng was startled and desperately sprinted back to defend. Jiang Qian executed a beautiful layup, but at that moment, Lu Feng also leaped high, intending to block Jiang Qian's shot.
However, as soon as he jumped, Jiang Qian hooked the ball out to the perimeter.
Wang Zixuan caught the ball and made a stunning three-pointer from the line.
"How is this possible!"
Lu Feng's face registered disbelief.
Everyone thought the third quarter would be when the boys made their comeback, but no one imagined it would turn into Zhonghai's men's basketball team's nightmare.
The women's team's defense was solid as a rock, and although the men's attack was sharp, they were helpless against the women's iron defense.
The women's offensive play was even more incisive. Unlike the first two quarters, this quarter saw the women's team adding excellent coordination.
The female players' coordination became increasingly smooth, tearing apart Zhonghai men's defensive line completely.
At the end of the third quarter, everyone was stunned as they looked at the score on the field.
65 to 28, the women's team of Zhonghai hadn't allowed the boys to score a single point in the quarter.
The whole basketball court erupted, and the spectators cheered wildly for the names of the women's basketball team members.
Attractive and playing great basketball, the women's team completely conquered the heart of every spectator in the arena.
This time they were captivated not only by the girls' looks but also by several girls' skilled techniques.
Lin Chen looked at the continuously rising score on the field with a pleased smile, while on the other side, the men's coach's face was ashen. He even regretted accepting the women's team challenge.
Now that the score was so one-sided, it was utterly embarrassing.
"Coach, are these girls really from our school? They aren't the Huaxia women's national team, are they?" one of the male players asked dejectedly.
The men's coach's gaze shifted toward Lin Chen, not far away, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
"How did this young man do it, to have a completely amateur women's basketball team show such powerful combat strength."
