Su Jing’s dominance on the court was undeniable. The attention of the entire audience, both in the arena and in front of their TV screens, was completely fixated on him.
“Whoever claimed that the Chinese basketball team is weak clearly underestimated their strength. This is more than just strength; Su Jing is on an entirely different level.”
“It’s not just that the Chinese basketball team is strong, it’s that Su Jing is exceptionally powerful.”
“Su Jing’s abilities extend far beyond mere strength. He possesses unparalleled versatility in every aspect of the game. He isn’t just an all-around player who excels in various areas, but he also manages to excel in each of those areas individually.”
“Can you imagine? Even Professional Basketball Players might struggle to match his skills.”
“He’s truly incredible. It’s safe to say that Su Jing is the rightful heir to many famous Basketball Players’ legacy.”
“But wait, are we forgetting something? Isn’t he just an amateur basketball player?”
“What? He’s not a professional basketball player? How is that even possible?”
“It’s true! He’s a Taming Grandmaster, an Ancient Zither Master, a Divine Physician, a Business Tycoon, and the list goes on. He has countless identities, yet ironically, he isn’t a professional basketball player. It seems he joined the basketball team merely to participate in the Tokyo Olympics.”
“Can it truly be like this?”
The foreign audience was left dumbfounded, while the domestic audience, although slightly more accustomed to Su Jing’s extraordinary abilities, was still in a state of shock. Just how incredible was Su Jing?
“However, the weakness of the Chinese team is also apparent.”
“Indeed, all their points revolve around Su Jing. He started off with full firepower, but under such intense conditions, he definitely can’t sustain it for the entire first half. As soon as he steps off the court, the Australian team will swiftly catch up.”
“The other players on the Chinese team seem rather submissive. While Su Jing is undeniably strong, they give him all the opportunities, almost behaving like timid turtles without showing any assertiveness.”
Unbeknownst to the spectators, the Chinese basketball players sitting in the rest area faintly overheard these discussions and they couldn’t help but smile and remain silent.
Su Jing couldn’t sustain his performance for the entire first half? They lacked assertiveness. Oh, how mistaken they were.
In the beginning, the Chinese players did have reservations when Su Jing expressed his desire to join the basketball team. They were even more reluctant when he insisted on receiving all the passes.
However, Su Jing used his overwhelming strength to dominate them, almost pushing them to their limits and forcing them to submit. Now, it was the Australian team’s turn to experience the torment they had endured at the start.
The Chinese players displayed resilience and determination that went unnoticed by the spectators. They were relishing in the Australian team’s agony, finding great joy in watching them suffer and witnessing the Chinese team’s score soar higher and higher.
…
As the Second Quarter of the game commenced, the Australian team stuck to their offensive strategy, undeterred by Su Jing’s presence. It became evident that Su Jing alone couldn’t single-handedly defend against their five players.
Frustration and a sense of psychological discouragement set in as the Australian team observed Su Jing’s lackadaisical approach to defense.
His relaxed and self-assured demeanor seemed to convey a clear message: “Shoot as you please. I won’t bother defending you because no matter what, you can’t stop my offense.”
After the Australian team successfully scored, the Chinese team gained possession of the ball. Su Jing once again led the offense, catching the attention of the Australian team.
Around the halfway mark, a noticeable shift occurred in the Australian team’s defensive formation. Besides the two players assigned to guard Su Jing, another player positioned themselves at a distance from Su Jing.
At first glance, it appeared as though they were defending someone else, but in reality, they were ready to double-team Su Jing. It was a three-on-one defense— a highly advantageous situation considering basketball’s five-player per-team structure.
Su Jing showcased his exceptional dribbling skills once more, evading two defenders. However, the nearby player swiftly intercepted him, and the previously bypassed defenders promptly returned to defend, effectively trapping Su Jing.
This time, Su Jing made the decision to pass the ball. The Australian players breathed a sigh of relief as the ball left Su Jing’s hands, alleviating some of the pressure. They adjusted their defensive formation accordingly, realizing they couldn’t completely neglect the defense against other players.
In terms of overall strength, the Chinese basketball team appeared to be weaker than their Australian counterparts.
The other players on the Chinese team faced difficulty in breaking through when they had possession. One player from beyond the three-point line took a shot at the basket, but it was clearly too high.
At that moment, the Australian players were left in awe as they witnessed Su Jing, who had momentarily slipped from their sight, already soaring towards the basket.
Could it be… an Alley-Oop Dunk? But the shot was too high to catch. Could he still manage to dunk it?
However, Su Jing seemed to defy gravity as he ascended higher than the rim. When he raised his hand, it nearly reached the middle of the backboard. He flawlessly caught the basketball and forcefully slammed it into the hoop.
The Australian players could only watch this with helpless expressions on their faces. They were unable to stop the play in time, and even if someone had been positioned under the basket, it would have made little difference.
“Wow, that alley-oop was incredible.”
“So, they do have other tactics up their sleeves. They just didn’t utilize them earlier. Clearly, the previous Australian defense was not enough to counter this move.”
“It’s over. Su Jing is already astonishingly talented, and with the support and coordination of his teammates, he’s become an unstoppable force. They won’t be able to contain him now.”
“No worries. Regardless of their changes, they still heavily rely on Su Jing. This one-dimensional style of play won’t last much longer.”
The game persisted, and what chilled the Australian team next was the realization that Su Jing hadn’t fully unleashed his strength yet. With the assistance and collaboration of his teammates, he became an even more indomitable force.
His attacks felt as if he entered a realm where no one could impede him. It seemed that he could score effortlessly, regardless of the circumstances.
In one such instance, he was forced off balance in mid-air but managed to nonchalantly release the ball, which precisely found its way into the basket.
The Australian team continued to fiercely resist, aiming to accumulate as many points as possible and reduce the point difference. Simultaneously, they attempted various methods to halt Su Jing’s progress.
