Strong Offense And Defense

Chapter 42

Mark"s eyes widened, having never expected that Nie Chuan would actually be able to jump that high. Nie Chuan gritted his teeth as he pushed the ball aside. He collided into Mark, causing him to fall down on the ground.

 

    "f.u.c.k!" Mao Xian wanted to step forward, but was pulled back by Zhou Bin.

 

    Now is not a good time to interrupt Nie Chuan. 

 

    As if he didn"t feel any pain, Nie Chuan immediately got up and chased after the ball. He managed to recover it before it went out of bounds and repositioned himself offensively while Mark went back to the basket to defend. 

    Nie Chuan dribbled rapidly toward him. In Mark"s eyes, he was just like a shooting star streaking through the sky. 

 

    In his heart, Mark was wondering:Will it be to the left or right? Don"t let him fool you! Don"t let him fool you! 

    However, even as Nie Chuan came toward Mark, he showed no signs of slowing down. Mark"s eyes widened: Don"t tell me this guy intends to make a basket?

 

    Sure enough, Nie Chuan came to a sudden stop in front of Mark. What Mark hated the most about Nie Chuan was precisely because he could never know where Nie Chuan would stop. As soon as he saw Nie Chuan lifting the ball in preparation to shoot, Mark immediately jumped to block Nie Chuan"s shot. He never expected Nie Chuan to retract the ball instead. In less than a second, he deceived Mark with a shake of his shoulder and headed straight for the basket. By the time he made his next shot, it was already too late for Mark to defend. 

    The mouths of Mark"s companions all dropped. "This guy…… he rushed up so fast but if he wanted to stop then he just stops? If he wanted to change direction then he can change just like that?"

 

    Mao Xian pulled at Zhou Bin"s sleeve, his expression inconceivable, "Hey! Da Bin, did you see that? Did you see it?"

    Zhou Bin tugged his sleeve back and nodded helplessly as he said, "I saw it, I saw."

 

    "Was the previous Ah Chuan able to do this?"

    "The previous Ah Chuan wouldn"t have been able to but that doesn"t mean the current Ah Chuan also won"t be able to." Zhou Bin"s lips curved into a smile. 

 

    Unlike Mao Xian, Zhou Bin was very clear on just how hard Nie Chuan trained during this period of time. 

    Nie Chuan exhaled. Everything he did just now had been done without any thought, it was entirely due to the instinctive response of his body.  

 

    One must know that compared to Reece, pa.s.sing Mark was truly a trivial matter. Like Connor once said, when a person becomes familiar with something to a certain extent, their body will respond in the quickest and most natural way without any thought. 

    Zhou Bin shouted loudly, "It"s already been two goals!"

 

    Mark threw the ball back to Nie Chuan and raised his chin, "Let"s see if you have the ability to pa.s.s me again!"

    Nie Chuan pulled the collar of his shirt before lowering his center of gravity. When he kicked off the ground, his speed was faster than before. Mark was shocked by his imposing momentum but he didn"t shrink back. Meanwhile, Nie Chuan"s dribbling and change in direction became even more rapid. The ball pa.s.sed between his legs. When Mark leaned down in an attempt to intercept it, Nie Chuan had already moved behind him. 

 

    He supported the ball with both hands, jumped and threw out the ball. 

    Only a "peng——" was heard as the ball entered steadily.

 

    Mark turned to stare blankly at the rim. Everything ended very quickly.

    Nie Chuan"s arms remained in the shooting posture. He knew that his posture was certainly very good and he also knew that he would be able to make it enter the moment he shot the ball. However, this was really the first time he got up and shot the ball after pa.s.sing the defender……

 

    The period of time Reece supervised his shooting practice has finally shown results! 

    He really wished Reece would have seen his shot just now!

 

    "My G.o.d! When did Ah Chuan learn to shoot?" Mao Xian"s eyes almost popped out.

    "Ah Chuan has always been able to shoot ah, but…… just never this accurate." Zhou Bin smiled.

 

    "He hardly made any preparation for that shot just now either alright? He just directly shot it!"

    At this time, Nie Chuan gradually calmed down and became somewhat worried. He didn"t let Mark get a single goal, hopefully this guy won"t fly into a rage out of shame. 

 

    Behind him, Mark only lowered his head and clenched his fists.

    His companions came up and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey, bro, you okay?"

 

    "This kid is so arrogant, we"ll help you teach him a lesson!"

    One of them was already coming forward with his fist when Mark grasped his companion"s shoulder. "No need, I lost. Just let them go. Don"t make trouble."

 

    Nie Chuan was originally planning to break into a run but now he could finally feel at ease.

    "Thanks."

 

    After saying his thanks, Nie Chuan turned and walked toward Zhou Bin and Mao Xian. Mao Xian"s face was already full of worship for Nie Chuan. 

    At that moment, the sound of clapping came from behind Nie Chuan. 

 

    He turned back. Against the light, a man"s silhouette unhurriedly walked toward him. Nie Chuan raised his face and wrinkled his brows. 

    Who is this guy?

 

    He looks over 190cm tall ah! 

    Why is he always running into tall people these days? 

 

    When the other person"s face slowly appeared under the sunlight, Nie Chuan froze slightly.

    It was an exquisite face. His slightly long, flaxen hair had been combed back by the other. Although it would seem inappropriate to use beautiful to describe a man, this person really was beautiful, but definitely not in a feminine way. In fact, Nie Chuan could see a certain sharpness from having undergone long trials in his eyes. It was like a sword lying quietly in its scabbard that can appear with a cold light at any time, dealing people a fatal blow.

 

    "You"re pretty good at basketball, what"s your name?"

    The other"s voice was like soft velvet. 

 

    However, Nie Chuan unconsciously took a step back.

    "What"s the matter? Why aren"t you saying anything?" The other took another step forward and leaned down slightly, allowing Nie Chuan to see his beautiful eyes even more clearly.

 

    "Shouldn"t you introduce yourself before you ask for someone else"s name?"

    "Oh, I forgot." He extended his hand to Nie Chuan, "I"m Owen Wishaw."

 

    "Nie Chuan." Nie Chuan only briefly touched the other"s hand before he retracted it.

    "Ah, Nie Chuan…… sounds Korean?"

 

    "Chinese."

    Owen"s gaze fell on Nie Chuan"s knee, "If I were you, I would clean that wound on your knee."

 

    Only then did Nie Chuan feel the dull pain on his knee. He looked down and found that his knee was bleeding, the blood flowed down his calves and onto his socks. 

    "Ah, thanks for reminding me. See you."

 

    Nie Chuan wanted to turn around when the other pressed down on his shoulder. "Hey, can you tell me which middle school you go to?"

    What middle school?!

 

    Yet another person mistook him for a middle school student! 

    Nie Chuan was immediately in a bad mood. He casually said the name of a middle school then raised an eyebrow and asked, "What"s it matter?"

 

    Without any intention of waiting for an answer, Nie Chuan walked in Zhou Bin"s direction.

    Owen didn"t pay Nie Chuan"s att.i.tude any mind and walked beside him. "So have you decided where to go for college?"

 

    "I haven"t thought about it."

    "Want to come to CBU? Our school"s basketball team is very good!"

 

    The other person"s voice sounded as if he was coaxing a child. Unfortunately, Nie Chuan hated this kind of tone the most.

    "Too far away."

 

    "How is it too far? It only takes an hour by plane."

    "I want to be closer to my parents."

 

    "Don"t tell me you still want to be your mom"s little baby even when you"re this big?"

    Nie Chuan stopped and glanced at the other. "Yeah, I like being my mom"s baby."

 

    Owen smiled. He also stopped and said with a very serious expression, "Although I don"t know what it is, I must have said something that made you angry. Can you tell me?"

    The other party"s att.i.tude made Nie Chuan feel a tinge of guilt. After all, Owen didn"t hold any malice toward him not to mention Asians always seem to appear rather young. For Owen to think that he still hadn"t entered college was very normal.

 

    Nie Chuan purposefully slowed down his voice as he said in a half-joking manner, "It"s probably because I envy you for being taller and more handsome than me."

    Owen was stunned for a moment before the smile on his lips became even more obvious.

 

    This time, Nie Chuan saw a real smile in the other"s eyes. 

    Owen went to a nearby pharmacy to buy some gauze, hydrogen peroxide, and some medicine.

 

    Nie Chuan was seated on a bench by the road. Owen first rinsed out the fine grains of sand from Nie Chuan"s wound with distilled water before disinfecting and bandaging it. Zhou Bin and Mao Xian stood to the side and watched with wide eyes. 

    Mao Xian praised, "You handled it very professionally."

 

    Owen smiled. Nie Chuan didn"t know if it was because all foreigner"s eyelashes were long and curled upwards but it made Nie Chuan feel as if the side of Owen"s face that was being lazily illuminated by the sun was like the poster in a magazine, bringing out a soft lighting effect.

    "It"s probably because I"m in medical school."

 

    "Ah, studying medicine is very impressive!"

    When Nie Chuan stood up, Owen extended his hand to Nie Chuan. "Could I see your phone?"

 

    "Huh? Why?" Despite asking, Nie Chuan still handed his phone over to the other.

    Owen smiled and entered a string of numbers into Nie Chuan"s phone. Then, Owen"s phone rang. "There, now you have my number. If you have any questions with your studies or you"re nervous about taking the SAT or something, you can call me."

 

    "Ah…… thanks."

    His own number had been given away to someone just like that? And it was even to a handsome brother instead of a beautiful woman? At that moment, Nie Chuan had very mixed feelings.
