Chapter 32: Basketball in the Rain

The sky was as gray as Lin Mu said, as if waiting for the end of these games, heartily sending the last mercy to those losers.

The four teams that made it to the afternoon semi-finals were also playing their final match in this gloomy weather.

Lin Mu's opponents in the semi-finals were composed of three boys who were dressed very fashionably, and the three of them were only around 180 by sight, and they looked at the team composed of Gu Jing and Gu Beicheng, the two elders, and they all showed belligerent eyes.

However, their belligerent gaze slowly turned into a frightened gaze as the game progressed.

Under Gu Beicheng's inexplicable offensive methods like a bulldozer, these three people were undoubtedly defeated in the end.

After the game, the three of them looked at the figures of Gu Beicheng, Lin Mu, and Gu Jing, and they all had an illusion of invincibility.

This illusion of invincibility inexplicably makes them feel that they are still glorious despite defeat.

The Teddy Bears also beat their opponents with ease and made it to the regional finals.

These two teams, which are not much different in height and strength, have directly become the teams that have advanced in this region.

After a short break of fifteen minutes, the two teams finally met officially.

"Although, on the field we are enemies. But, off the field, we're friends. So, I hope that no matter who wins or loses, we are all friends. The captain of the teddy bear team, a hairy boy, stepped forward and said sincerely to Lin Mu.

"Don't worry. We know, so please do your best to attack here. Gu Beicheng held his forehead with one hand, learning to kill Captain Matt, and replied coolly.

"Since you said so, then we have to do our best!" The hairy boy held the ball in both hands and bent his body to start the game.

The hairy boy, who is 194cm tall, is the tallest player on the teddy bear team, and at the same time, he also plays the point guard position.

As Lin Mu, who is opposite him, it is the first time that he has faced such a tall opponent. He felt a pressure he had never experienced before.

After the hairy boy took the bald boy's reply, he cautiously lowered his center of gravity and wanted to break through Lin Mu.

Lin Mu folded his arms together, wanting to use his whole body strength to resist the attack of the hairy boy. However, the huge pressure and the difference in strength and weight made Lin Mu pushed under the basket by the hairy boy with only his back strength.

This gap is not something that Lin Mu's efforts during this period of time can make up for it, when he watched the hairy boy prepare to directly hook his hand to shoot the board, he had to launch a "real man in one second" at the beginning, intercept his attack, and regain the ball.

It is actually very irrational to activate your own hole cards at the beginning of the game.

But alas, this is the first time Lin Mu has met such an inexplicable opponent. He can only use his cards to make the captain of the "Teddy Bear" team mistakenly believe that he has the ability to block his attack, and make him change his attack strategy from the weakest point of his team.

However, Lin Mu forgot that the three people on the other side were single-celled organisms like Gu Beicheng.

"You're really good, you're the first to intercept my attack, don't worry, I'll be able to score from you next time." The hairy boy stepped forward and said seriously while defending Lin Mu.

“… Is there a next time? Lin Mu swallowed his saliva, but he didn't have a chance to reply to Mao Cun's words, he looked for an opportunity to pass the ball to Gu Beicheng.

In a vacancy, Lin Mu passed the ball sideways to Gu Beicheng, and the moment Gu Beicheng received the basketball.

There was a loud bang in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.

It seems that God doesn't want to see Lin Mu lose his most critical hole card and have nothing to do!

"Stoppage!" The referee is still the same man who said last time that basketball is not expensive, he covered the pouring rain with one hand, and pointed to the shelter from the rain with one hand to the two teams that had already qualified.

However, people, including Lin Mu, didn't seem to hear his voice.

Gu Beicheng, who received the ball, showed a happy smile in the face of the bald man who was not relaxed by the rain at all.

He was playing basketball in the rain, mixed with the sound of the rain falling and the heavy slapping, and he yelled, "I'm coming!" ”

Subsequently, he directly chose to face off with the bald man.

He slapped the basketball and tried to break through from the left side, where he was best at it.

And the bald boy also lowered his center of gravity and quickly moved to the left to block Gu Beicheng's attack.

However, the rain was too heavy, and the raindrops fell into the bald boy's eyes, and the strong itching sensation made the bald boy blink quickly.

At the moment when the bald boy blinked, Gu Beicheng dribbled directly from the bald boy's crotch, and then he was about to go to the basket and wanted to score.

But he stepped on the puddle and fell to the ground without standing on his weight.

The ball also flew out of bounds as he fell.

"What are you doing asking you to pause? Anyway, you have also qualified, and there is no reward for the first and second places in the regional competition. The referee watched the two ugly players perform and yelled.

However, his roar still didn't stop the two teams.

This may be the first time they have played each other in a match, and it may be the last time.

In the eight-district hegemony, they understand that their own district is the weakest district.

The kind of team that is so weak that it may be the last eight-tier team to win the battle is reduced to the bottom of the existence, which also means that they may not have the chance to play again.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that these teenagers who are confused about the future cherish this hand-to-hand meeting very much.

As they said at the beginning, they will do their best.

The referee watched the two teams still ignore him, and he hesitated for a moment and did not speak out again to persuade them to stop the game.

Instead, they chose to continue the game.

At the same time, the basketball players who were hiding in the rain not far away looked at the seven people on the court who looked like fools, and did not say anything to ridicule. Instead, they watched this battle with all their might on both sides.

The next ball was served by the teddy bear, and after the hairy boy received the return pass, he still chose to hit Lin Mu with his back.

This difference in body and strength, coupled with the wet field on rainy days, made Lin Mu's defense even more difficult.

Even if he sank his center of gravity, he couldn't compete with the hairy boy who was beating him on his back, and the hairy boy also felt that Lin Mu's strength had weakened compared to before. However, he didn't think much about it, he pushed Lin Mu hard to the basket, and a hook hit the board and successfully got the first point.

This point shocked the mood of the entire teddy bear team.

The hairy boy ran to the basket and picked up the basketball, handed it to Lin Mu and said simply:

"Look, I said I'd score this goal, right?"
