I Get Stronger When Called Up - Chapter 5

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Zejian was about to break through and score, a speedy figure rushed forward.

With a sharp “smack”, Jiang Zejian lost the ball. By the time he realised what had happened, the ball was already in Fang Qimai’s hands.

Jiang Zejian: ???
“Confusion score of Jiang Zejian: +4”
“Confusion score of Du Xiaohao: +3”
“Confusion rating of…”

“Nice!”
This steal was impressive, and Fang Qimai’s teammates were in awe.

Jiang Zejian shot him a glance.

Fang Qimai crossed half the court and started to move forward.

With a fake, a change of direction, and then another change, he had dodged two members of the school team in an instant.

“Guard him!”

Jiang Zejian shouted as Fang Qimai executed a fake move, dodging the defender before launching a quick stop jumper.

Swish!
The ball went in.

This move was the newly learned Fake Quick Stop Jump Shot – amazing!

“Confusion score by Jiang Zejian: +6”
“Confusion score by Du Xiaohao: +5”
“Confusion score of…”

“Damn!” Jiang Zejian immediately cursed!
“What the hell?” “Did I tell you two to guard him? Don’t you understand?”
One person replied, “His moves are too fast, we can’t keep up…”
“The fakes are too convincing, I let my guard down…” another said quietly.
“Idiot! Play properly!”
…
Not only did he intercept the school team’s ball, but he also scored the first point right in front of the school team!
Fang Qimai’s teammates were excited, but after Jiang Zejian’s glare, none of them dared to show it.
…
The losing team serves the ball and this time it’s Jiang Zejian’s turn to attack.
The two of them trapped Fang Qimai tightly, while Jiang Zejian coordinated with another player.
In addition, Fang Qimai’s teammates were too intimidated to do anything.
Soon, Jiang Zejian also scored a point.
Jiang Zejian immediately raised two fingers, signalling a 1-1 draw, which also meant mockery.
When it was Fang Qimai’s turn to serve, the opposing team immediately sent three players to block his path.
His own teammates, intimidated by Jiang Zejian, didn’t dare to make any strong moves.
The match looked fair, but in reality it was one against four.
But what could one person do against four?
Fang Qimai had already expected such a situation.
“Three against one? Is that all your school team is capable of?”
Fang Qimai executed a Ball Control Quick Stop, sending the three opponents into a spin.
A breakthrough!
With a dribble behind his back, even Jiang Zejian was faked out.
Jump shot! The ball goes in again.
2:1.
Fang Qimai sneered, “No wonder our school’s team is so weak!”
“Damn!”
“By Jiang Zejian: Confusion score, +8”
“By Du Xiaohao: Confusion score, +7”
“By…
…
“What are you all doing? You can’t even defend against one person?”
“His moves are too fast, we can’t defend at all…”
“Brother Jian, weren’t you fooled by him too…”
“Damn!”
Jiang Zejian couldn’t help but break into a sweat, “When did this guy become so strong?”
…
Just like that, both sides gradually increased their points.
Fang Qimai was almost fighting against four; his biceps had been strengthened and his strength was not to be underestimated.
He played as if he were gliding through water, seamless and fluid, and no one could guard against him.
Soon, Fang Qimai scored his seventh point, and if he scored one more, he would win.
Jiang Zejian only had five points.
At that moment, Jiang Zejian and his three teammates surrounded each other to discuss tactics.
“This ball, no matter if it’s a foul or not, we can’t let him score!”
“If he jumps up later, look for a chance to push him down.”
“Be a bit rough, it would be best if he broke his leg!”
“Got it, brother Jian!”
…
Then the four of them spread out, deliberately waiting for Fang Qimai to break through.
Then they crashed into him hard.
When he saw them standing so far apart, Fang Qimai was pleased.
No one to guard? Then I’ll try the Three-Point Jump Shot Master.
Outside the three-point line, he jumped into place.
The ball was thrown high with a precise arc and landed right in the basket.Swoosh!
The ball went in!
Jiang Zejian: …
School Team: …
“Damn!”
“Who would have thought that guy would shoot a three-pointer?!”
“And he made it so accurately, it’s dizzying!”
“We lost, we really lost…”
“By Jiang Zejian: Confusion score, +11”
“By Du Xiaohao: Confusion score, +10”
“By…
…
“We’re the school team… how could we…?”
“I don’t think I’m cut out for basketball; I want to quit the school team…”
“You bunch of useless idiots!”
Jiang Zejian exploded in anger.
…
Fang Qimai’s teammates were completely stunned.
All eight points were scored by Fang Qimai alone; they were just there to make up the numbers.
Going up against four from the school team and still winning?
No wonder the school team was plagued by self-doubt.
“From Xiong Peng: Confusion score, +7”
“By Luo Tongyi: Confusion score +8”
…
Fang Qimai was very disappointed.
After acquiring such impressive basketball skills, he thought he would be able to play an exciting game.
The school team? They were nothing special.
“You really should practice more, at this level it’s not enough to be a challenge.
Jiang Zejian: …
Fang Qimai picked up the basketball from the other team and said, “Li Ning’s brand is fine, just a bit worn out.” “All right, it’s mine now.”
With an agreement in place, Jiang Zejian and the others could only seethe in silence.
One member of the school team said quietly, “Brother Jian, that ball cost me 289 yuan…”
“Damn! I’ll pay you back later! Damn!”
The price was one thing, but this was about saving face.
Jiang Zejian had really lost a lot of face this time.
Fang Qimai started spinning the basketball and said, “All right, everyone, it’s time for your performance!”
School Team: …
Fang Qimai asked, “Are you going to do a forward roll or a backward roll?”
The members of the school team looked at each other.
“What’s wrong? The esteemed school team can’t handle this loss?”
…
Jiang Zejian shouted angrily, “I won’t accept this! Fang Qimai, let’s settle this one-on-one; the loser shouts ‘grandpa’!”
Fang Qimai rummaged in his ear, “What does the loser shout?”
“Grandpa!”
“Hey! Grandson!”
“Damn…” Jiang Zejian was furious; in all his life, no one had dared to mock him like this.
He pointed at Fang Qimai and said, “You dare to challenge me to a duel?”
Fang Qimai shrugged his shoulders, “I dare, but you have to tell me what I get if I win.”
“The loser will call me Grandpa, and the winner will get another grandson!”
Fang Qimai laughed, “But you’ve already called me Grandpa, and I’ve accepted you as my grandson, so why would I want to compete with you?”
“You!!!”
“From Jiang Zejian: Confusion score, +13”
Upon hearing this, Xiong Peng and the others standing nearby almost burst out laughing.
“Fang Qimai, do you think I will beat you up?!”
“Everyone, look! The grandson is beating the grandfather!”
“You…”
How did Fang Qimai become so strong?
His mouth was also so sharp!
Jiang Zejian regretted provoking Fang Qimai today.
“Just you wait!”
Jiang Zejian dropped the line and prepared to leave.
Fang Qimai asked, “You’re just going to leave like that?”
“Why not? Am I, Brother Jian, really going to roll around on this basketball court?”
Fang Qimai laughed, “Of course.”
“Jiang Zejian, get the hell off the basketball court!”
“Ding! <Absolute Command> activated! This use is free, and does not consume any Confusion value.
