I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 375 Regarded as a National Treasure Too! Previously, Ye Lingchen’s performance left everyone in shock. Even the Chinese team’s players were unable to come back to their senses.At that moment, the corners of that Stick Nation player’s mouth curled up into a proud smile. His body leaped up and his eyes were fixed on the hoop—he was ready to make a lay-up!

“Good!”

Upon seeing that, the number 10 player was stunned and incredibly excited.

‘So what, if you can intercept a ball? We’ll just score! We’ll still win this game and you can continue to be cocky!’

He shouted in his heart and was already prepared to mock Ye Lingchen good once the game was over!

However, at the next moment, the smile on his face froze. From the corner of his pupils, a figure sprinted at lightning speed, and along with the roar of wind, appeared next to the player who had already made a lay-up!

Thwack!

With that tremendously loud noise, the basketball in the man’s hand was slapped away. It was a perfect block that was easily executed, shocking the audience yet again.

The basketball flew into Qian Sen’s hands. Without even thinking, Qian Sen threw it back to Ye Lingchen.

Thump, thump, thump!

Ye Lingchen dribbled the ball casually and his eyes glossed over the Stick Nation’s players, pressuring them.

“Scared already? Stick Nation players are so disappointing.” Ye Lingchen shook his head and said indifferently, “Look closely. I’ll show you what China’s basketball is all about!”

Thump, thump, thump!

As soon those words were said, Ye Lingchen’s dribbling speed suddenly accelerated. His eyes narrowed and his body dashed forward like a leopard!

“Come at me if you can!”

The number 10 player’s face looked humiliated. He dropped his body low and opened his arms to surround Ye Lingchen like an eagle!

“You definitely can’t break my defense!”

Despite screaming that, his heart was already on the verge of collapse. He had to stop Ye Lingchen, that time, or else that day would forever be an unforgettable day of shame!

In the stands, everyone’s body leaned forward slightly, and their eyes did not dare to blink.

Squeak!

Ye Lingchen dribbled the ball and ran in front of the number 10 player without slowing down at all. It appeared that he was about to pass through the number 10 player’s side.

The number 10 player had his hands outstretched and was ready to grab the ball.

However, Ye Lingchen’s footsteps stopped abruptly and he jerked his arms. During that high-speed movement, he changed direction unexpectedly and passed from the other side of his opponent!

Thump, thump, thump!

There was no pause in the dribbling sound, and soon after, Ye Lingchen jumped before everyone’s eyes with the ball and made a perfect dunk!

The action was incredibly smooth from the beginning until the end. Everyone found it extremely admirable, and the number 10 player’s defense was nothing to Ye Lingchen. It was no threat at all.

The number 10 player was unable to respond when Ye Lingchen breezed past him, and he even fell bottom down on the ground because of that.

Even until then, he remained seated on the ground with a sullen face and a look of confusion.

“A…mazing. Marvelous!”

“Where did this basketball freak come from? Our great China’s basketball is about to rise!”

“Ah, ah, ah! So handsome! So manly! I can’t take it! I’m going to faint with happiness!”

“Hahaha, why aren’t the Stick Nation’s people speaking anymore? Come on, jump and shout again! Why so terrified?”

“In the past, our great Chinese nation did not hold grudges against you. A great and powerful country like ours has plenty of masters. Muahahaha…”

…

Although it was only one shot, it single-handedly ignited the entire stadium. Ye Lingchen shot very few times, but whenever he did so, it was enough to stun everyone. Such was the aura of a master!

“Ye’zi! Amazing!”

Little Gen was red with excitement. He shouted so much that he nearly lost his voice. He wanted nothing more than to run down to the court.

“You see that? He’s my roommate, my best buddy!” Potato and Xiang were so proud that they practically lost themselves. They continued to show-off to the people around them, as if they were just as amazing themselves.

The same was true of Capital University’s students. They maniacally yelled Ye Lingchen’s name, and their voice was earth-shaking.

Zhao Ritian stared blankly at Ye Lingchen. There was still pride and admiration on his face, but at the same time, there were traces of mixed feelings too. He clenched his fists tightly.

Little did he expect that the era he had always dreamed of ushering in was realized in Ye Lingchen’s hands. He could not fall behind him and it was imperative that he upped the intensity of his basketball training!

“Good, good, good!”

Bureau Chief Fang stood up tremblingly. Tears were flowing from his eyes and he stared at Ye Lingchen. “Amazing! He’s good! This person…must be treated as a national treasure!”

“Bureau Chief Fang, you mustn’t get too worked up. Ye Lingchen won’t run away,” Zhang He said quickly.

“He won’t run?” Bureau Chief Fang glared at him and said unhappily, “A person as good as him nearly left because he was angry at you! You nearly angered me to death!”

“Bureau Chief Fang, he’s here, isn’t he? Calm down, calm down,” Pan Heng smiled bitterly and said.

“Calm, my foot! I’ve waited my whole life! My whole life! The day finally came!” Bureau Chief Fang said filled with emotion. “This talent must be given preferential treatment!”

Ye Lingchen gave the people wave after wave of thrill. The Chinese had been suppressed for too long, and it was difficult for them to calm down the longer it went on.

On the court, the ball was served and the game started!

Between the Chinese team players, the ball would definitely be passed to Ye Lingchen.

There was no doubt that Ye Lingchen had become the target of all the Stick Nation’s players. The five players no longer cared about anyone else and they all surrounded Ye Lingchen defensively.

Despite their efforts, Ye Lingchen could always easily intercept their ball. His strong physique, agile speed, and superb skills left them feeling deeply frustrated.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

After scoring again and again, the entire stadium seemed to be Ye Lingchen’s one-man show. Although the Stick Nation’s players were surrounded by Ye Lingchen, they were unable to even touch the basketball.

Ye Lingchen’s ball skills were really too good. A simple fake dribble could leave them going around in circles, after which he would immediately penetrate the defense and score the defensive goal.

Time passed bit by bit, and the score was also gradually getting closer.

“Stop him at all costs! We mustn’t let him overtake the score!”

That had become the sole thought in the hearts of the Stick Nation players.

As for the Chinese, they remained silent in their hearts and stared closely at the score on the court. There was plenty of expectation in their eyes.

Perhaps… It was possible to overturn the score!

The score was 106:136 during the last five minutes!

Ye Lingchen had already scored 48 points while the Stick Nation’s score remained unchanged.

The audience was silent and they waited quietly for the final result.

“Defend him! Make every effort to stall him!” the Stick Nation’s coach shouted.

Ye Lingchen looked at the Stick Nation and smiled slightly. Instead of getting caught up with trying to break through them, he leaped from where he was and shot for the basket with a single standard shot.

Clang!

Clean shot, three points!

Continue, serve, shoot!

Clang!

Another three points!

Then, another three points!
