Chapter 206 Basketball Foreplay
The students in Class 9 who were practicing basketball automatically cleared out half of the court, and soon it was surrounded by people watching the fun.

Especially the girls, all of them had a smile on their faces. Li Yan couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. Badminton has never had such treatment before.

Li Ruofei showed great curiosity and nervousness. He also went to the school team selection last semester. Although he was better than Qiu Li in organization, he was indeed inferior to him in other aspects. Qiu Li had many outstanding performances in singles in the five-on-five game. His layup was varied and steady, and his finishing ability was excellent.

Playing a one-on-one duel with Qiu Li...even few of the junior high school brothers on the school team said they could win with certainty.

Where is Li Yan?
Li Ruofei suddenly had a magical idea. He wanted to see Li Yan fail.

It's not out of jealousy, embarrassment or other rubbish, but pure curiosity.

What will happen to Li Yan if he can’t win?

"No restrictions on dribbling, changing serves, changing the ball when the ball goes out of bounds or is blocked, no such thing as rebounds, are these rules OK?"

Qiu Li is straightforward, with a sharp face that is quite handsome, but unfortunately his eyes are too small - what does it matter? When he plays basketball, small eyes are a special kind of handsomeness.

"OK." Li Yan nodded, "You serve."

"Fight seven?"

"Any number will do."

Qiu Li smiled, and the two sides played the ball. His relaxed body suddenly tensed up. Qiu Li protected the ball with his right foot as the axis, and took big steps left and right with his left foot.

Looking at Li Yan's defensive posture, Qiu Li smiled inwardly - inexperienced.

As his left foot stepped to the right, Qiu Li passed the ball smoothly and went in quickly.

Li Yan reacted in time, pushing off the ground with his right leg and moving sideways quickly.

"So fast? He actually caught up?" Qiu Li was shocked. He thought Li Yan hadn't reacted yet. When he saw the basket, he leaned towards Li Yan's body, ready to use confrontation to create space for shooting.

"Fuck, it's so hard?!"

Qiu Li failed to push the ball, but was forced to keep his balance after stopping the ball, and suddenly became extremely passive.

Li Yan raised his hands high, forcing Qiu Li to use an unconventional posture to complete his first attack.

The ball went in.

There were exclamations from the audience, and Li Yan gave a thumbs up.

Qiu Li was not happy, as he had just made a lucky shot. Moreover, Li Yan did not continue to confront him after he was forced to stop, otherwise he would have been forced to make a mistake.

You...are you still giving in to me?!
It was Li Yan's turn to attack. Holding the basketball, he only needed to glance outside the court to find a row of girls shyly avoiding his gaze.

But he didn't, all he had eyes for was the basket.

The triple threat in basketball - strictly speaking there are only two threats in a one-on-one match, breakthrough or shooting - is threatening only when you have the ability to punish your opponent.

If you shoot accurately, opponents will not dare to leave you shooting space and will choose to defend you closely; if you are strong in breakthroughs, opponents will not dare to stick to you and will choose to give you a certain buffer space.

Obviously, Li Yan's powerful lateral speed and body hardness made Qiu Li a little afraid, so he did not choose to defend closely.

For middle school students, long-range shooting is still relatively difficult. When it comes to full-court official games, it can be said that they basically lack stability in three-point shooting.

Therefore, Qiu Li was actually very speechless about Li Yan teaching those newbies who didn't know basketball how to shoot three-pointers.

Then Li Yan shot a three-pointer using a standard shooting posture.

Enter the network in response.

The girls actually burst into a small cheer.

Qiu Li got the ball and wanted to make a long shot, but he saw Li Yan defending him closely. He became angry. Why does Li Yan look down on my breakthrough?

Dribbling the ball to create some space, Qiu Li lowered his center of gravity, and dribbled past Li Yan in a disguised manner. He was about to continue to move towards the basket, but saw that Li Yan had caught up with him quickly.

If he continued to rush forward, he would probably be confronted. Qiu Li was afraid and made an abrupt stop to take a mid-range shot.

Li Yan's eyes lit up, but his body was indeed out of position, so he simply didn't try to block the shot - he couldn't touch it anyway, and he was not a monster with a height of 224 and a wingspan of 244.

So he watched Qiu Lizhong fall into the frame.

Qiu Li's displeasure became even more pronounced.

Li Yan got the ball, but Qiu Li still didn't stick to him this time, which meant very clearly - if you have the ability, try to make another three-pointer. As a result, Li Yan decisively chose to break through, using the same trick as Qiu Li, the same quick stop jump shot. Qiu Li also mistakenly thought that he was going to be resisted and went to the basket, so he could only jump desperately to no avail.

Your mother's Sharingan, right?

However, Li Yan's ball did not go in after it hit the backboard, and it bounced a few times out of the basket.

He shook his head and passed the ball to Qiu Li, but Qiu Li just hugged the basketball and said, "It's boring to do this."

Everyone looked confused.

"If Class Zero meets us," Qiu Li said, "then be prepared to play a game of hellish difficulty."

"What's going on?" The audience discussed.

Li Yan silently returned to Class Zero and prepared to continue teaching. Lin Heng patted him on the back:

"What's going on?"

Li Yan actually had some understanding. He had originally wanted to see what skills the players who were good at one-on-one duels had, and learn from them to deepen his understanding, but it seemed that he had insulted Qiu Li, who was extremely competitive.

It was probably due to their different mindsets. Li Yan just treated it as a friendly exchange, but Qiu Li obviously didn't think so.

"The basketball game looks like it will be interesting." Li Yan nodded to her teammates repeatedly, "I hope Class Nine won't be eliminated so early, so we can have a game with them."

That night, Lin Zhiyuan suddenly sent Li Yan a photo of the moment he made a mid-range shot, although it was a bit blurry.

Li Yan: Where did you get this photo?

Xiao Lin: It’s being circulated in various QQ groups, saying that there’s a precious basketball photo of the handsome academic god. When I clicked on it, it was indeed you.

Li Yan: To be honest, is this the first leaked photo?
Kobayashi: I don’t know about that. It seems that those girls are particularly interested in you playing basketball.

Li Yan: That group of... girls?
Xiao Lin: The internal discussion group of the academic genius painter writer 180 super handsome guy.

Li Yan: [scared]
Kobayashi: Actually, I omitted a few words.

Li Yan: [curious]
Xiaolin: Li Yanyan.

……

Li Yan: Why the hell do you know about this group?
Kobayashi: I was pulled in by force.

Li Yan’s mind exploded, damn, traitor!

Kobayashi: But I didn't provide any image material.

Li Yan: So there is written material?

Kobayashi: Just some legendary experiences you had in elementary school.

Li Yan covered her face and was about to continue complaining, but Xiao Pang suddenly sent a message:

Mr. Yan, if you could live your life again, how would you like to live it?

Li Yan was stunned.

Xiaolin: If I could live another life and live like you, I would never regret it in three lifetimes.

Li Yan: Fatty, come out.

Where to go?

Go to the playground and chat.

Which playground?

You can't get out of your school, but I can.

Lin Zhiyuan laughed. You have to pretend like this. But he was very happy, so his fingers flew on the phone:

Come in secretly, don't shoot.
