nThe basketball team captain of Dongjiang Town Junior High School, Zhang Jun, had led his team players to the sports field early in the morning. When he saw Yun Jian, his eyes nearly squashed into straight lines from how much he was grinning.

nWith Yun Jiang playing in Xinjiang Town Junior High, the Dongjiang Town Junior High would definitely win!

nA girl playing basketball. – Hah, they must be joking!

nIn fact, Zhang Jun was not the only one with this thought. The majority of Xinjiang Town Junior High’s teaching faculty and students shared the same worry.

nA girl participating and playing against the basketball team of Dongjiang Town Junior High School was something that had never happened in recent years.

nAfter all, it was a fact that girls were physically weaker than boys.

nCould victory still be theirs?

nNonetheless, everyone watched in anticipation.

n“Beep!”

nThe judge’s whistle was blown.

nBoth teams took their place.

nThere were three sets of matches for this basketball competition, the best of three would win. This meant that the first team to win two games would be considered the winner.

nCompared to the other players who were fairly nervous, Yun Jian was in a great state of mind. She was not on edge at all from the basketball game.

nAs the sole girl on the basketball court of this competition, Yun Jian inevitably gained the spectators’ attention.

n“I declare the start of the first game of the annual friendly basketball match between Xinjiang Town Junior High and Dongjiang Town Junior High. Players, get ready!”

n“Ready… beep!”

nThe judge blew the whistle that signified the official beginning of the contest.

n“Go, Yun Jian! Go, Yun Jian!”

nRight as the whistle was blown and the match started, a thunderous and synchronized cheering erupted.

nThe spectators looked up in surprise toward where the shouting came from, only to see everyone from Class (6) of the ninth grade encouraging Yun Jian rhythmically.

nThe acclamation was deafening.

nBack on the basketball court, Yun Jian’s comparatively smaller frame had sprinted off with the basketball, traveling like a strike of lightning once the match began.

nIt was as if the ball had gained a life of its own in her hands as it looked nimble and dynamic.

nWatching Yun Jian close the distance to the opponent’s hoop, Zhang Jun stared at her in panic and shouted at his team members. “Block her, block her!”

nHe did not expect Wen Rui to hand the crucial first ball directly to Yun Jian, nor did he expect that the girl whom he had looked down upon actually possessed such speed!

nShe was getting close! – Closer!

nGlancing at the two opposing players who were stopping her advance, Yun Jian suddenly wore a smile.

nThere was a rule in basketball stating you should dribble the ball, and to not run while holding it.

nIn spite of it, there was no way they could stop her!

nYun Jian grinned. Giving the basketball in her hand a dribble, the ball bounced toward in between the two players from the opposing team at an amazing speed that neither were quick enough to respond.

nAs the ball passed both players who were supposed to block her, Yun Jian ran toward them as well.

n“Is she crazy? She’s passing the ball to them directly! We’re gonna lose, we’re gonna lose!”

nThe spectators shrieked.

nHowever, when Yun Jian was right in front of the two opposing team players, she took a hard stomp and sprang up.

nThe next scene came as a huge surprise to everyone, stunning them on the spot.

nLeaping two meters tall, Yun Jian flipped right over the boys and landed soundly on the court.

nThe basketball went through both members as well, following its trajectory and landing in Yun Jian’s hands to be dribbled once again…

nThe spectators dropped their jaws.

nThe court and the sidelines were dead silent.

nEveryone had only one thought through their minds. “Oh my god, you could play basketball like that!? Wow, this girl… she’s a tough cookie!”

nThe conclusion of their emotions was “Holy sh*t!”.

nThey were completely in shock.
