A fat man who was reborn from the dead? He transforms into a perfect male god in a week.

"beep…!"

With no referee, Hao Yingjun took it upon himself to act as a temporary sentry, blowing a loud air whistle.

"The match begins!"

"Jiang Chen kicks off the first ball!"

Xu Yunzhou stared intently at Jiang Chen, who was standing in the center circle, his face dark.

Jiang Chen tossed the basketball gently into Xu Yunzhou's hands. This was the standard procedure for the start of a one-on-one game, indicating, "I'm ready. Here, check the ball. Then you pass it back to me, and I'll start the attack."

Xu Yunzhou caught the ball and squeezed it hard twice in his hand, as if it were Jiang Chen's head.

He gritted his teeth and slammed the ball back to Jiang Chen.

"Come on!" Xu Yunzhou lowered his body, spread his legs, and assumed a standard defensive stance, his eyes fierce. "Let me see just how good you are at pretending!"

He was very confident in his defense.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall, he is a key player on the school team and is renowned for his tough defensive skills throughout Jiangcheng No. 3 Middle School.

Regardless of whether the opponent is speed-based, power-based, or technically skilled, it is generally very difficult to effectively break through his defense under his all-out defense.

Jiang Chen?

A fat person who has just lost weight may have a natural talent for shooting accurately, but it is impossible to master technical skills such as dribbling, passing, and layups without years of hard practice.

Xu Yunzhou was making plans in his mind...

"He'll definitely try to dribble past me later, so I'll stick close to him and not give him any space to jump!"

"If he forces a shot, I'll block it!"

"If he dribbles, I'll steal the ball!"

"If I don't make him question his existence today, I'm not Xu!"

however.

next second.

Xu Yunzhou was stunned.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

After receiving the pass back, Jiang Chen didn't even move towards the three-point line.

He didn't even dribble the ball once.

He stood in the center circle, feet slightly apart, holding the ball in both hands, knees slightly bent, and then...

Take off.

Shot.

The movements were clean, crisp, and executed in one smooth motion.

The basketball flew from his hands, tracing a high and graceful arc, like a precision-guided missile, heading straight for the distant basket.

Everyone: "???"

Xu Yunzhou: "You fucking..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Whoosh!!"

Hollow-core netting.

The sound of the basketball swishing through the net was so crisp it felt like it was hitting the face of everyone in the arena.

"..."

Dead silence.

A full five seconds.

then……

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!

"A shot from the center circle???"

"It even went in??? Hollow???"

"This distance...this is the center circle! It's several meters farther than that shot from outside the court!"

"Even top NBA stars wouldn't dare to play like that, right? Just how incredible is that touch and power?"

"Jiang Shen... Has Jiang Shen gone all the way to outer space with his cheat codes?"

The screams nearly ripped the ceiling off the basketball court (though not the open-air one).

[Ding! You've received +500 Amazing Points!]

Jiang Chen stood still, patted non-existent dust off his hands, his expression as calm as if he had just tossed away a crumpled piece of paper.

"3 points."

He gestured with his chin towards Xu Yunzhou: "Little chick, still on guard?"

Xu Yunzhou's face was as black as if he had just crawled out of a coal mine.

His lips trembled, and after a long pause, he managed to squeeze out, "Luck...luck! This is definitely luck!"

"A mid-court shot, from that distance, even Curry couldn't make it every time!"

"You just guessed!"

Jiang Chen laughed: "Guessed? Okay, then look at another one."

"Old Hao, ball."

"Brother Chen is here!"

Hao Yingjun had now transformed into a fanatical believer, eagerly retrieving the ball and presenting it to him with both hands, as if he were worshipping a deity.

Jiang Chen took the ball and remained standing near the center circle, even moving back a little more than before.

Xu Yunzhou remained in a defensive stance, but he was already somewhat dazed.

He watched helplessly as Jiang Chen once again took the ball with both hands, jumped, and shot.

The basketball traced an even higher arc in the air.

"Whoosh...!"

They've made it in again.

Hollow.

He didn't even touch the rim.

The crowd erupted again!

"Second one! Two in a row from the center circle!"

"If this is lucky, I'll stew my dog's poodle and give it to Jiang Shen as a treat!"

"Jiang Shen's aim... is it equipped with GPS? It hits exactly where you point!"

"That distance, that accuracy, even Jordan would have to offer him a cigarette and call him 'bro,' let alone Curry!"

"Jiang Shen is awesome! Jiang Shen is invincible! Jiang Shen is my god forever!"

Tang Ruoxi stood on the sidelines, her eyes shining as if they were filled with stars.

She doesn't understand basketball, but she understands Jiang Chen.

That composure and confidence in every gesture captivated her more than any technical skill.

Hao Yingjun jumped up excitedly, "Brother Chen! Your mid-court shot... did you learn it from aliens? Earthlings can't do that at all!"

[Ding! You've received +500 Amazing Points!]

Jiang Chen glanced at the system panel; the "amazing value" had already exceeded 3000.

This display of swagger was incredibly effective.

Xu Yunzhou stood there, feeling his hands and feet were ice cold.

Two now.

Two consecutive shots from the center circle.

What the hell does that mean?

Even in the NBA All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest, nobody dares to start shooting from center court!

Even if you put in a bet, it's a gamble; if even one out of ten gets in, you're lucky.

But Jiang Chen…

Two shots, two shots in, both swishes.

"A hallucination...this must be a hallucination..."

Xu Yunzhou muttered to himself, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

But he was not willing to give up.

He didn't believe Jiang Chen could always be so accurate.

Shooting from the center circle demands an absurdly high level of arm strength, touch, and parabolic trajectory calculation; making consecutive shots is simply illogical!

"Again!"

Xu Yunzhou gritted his teeth and threw the ball back to Jiang Chen.

"I don't believe you can make it in as the third one!"

This time, he still didn't step forward to press and defend.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but rather that he still harbored a sliver of hope:

"How can you keep making shots from the center circle?"

"He's bound to miss a shot at some point. If he misses even one, I can grab the rebound, and then it's my turn to counterattack!"

"Besides, no one ever starts their defense from the center circle in a one-on-one situation. It's too embarrassing. I can't go up there..."

So he stood two steps outside the three-point line, staring intently at Jiang Chen.

however……

"Whoosh!"

Third, hollow.

"Whoosh!"

Fourth, hollow.

"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth...

Jiang Chen was like a pre-programmed shooting machine, standing inside the center circle, catching the ball, jumping, and shooting.

The movements were so precise, like something out of a textbook in slow motion.

The basketball seemed to have eyes, swishing into the net every time.

When the tenth super long three-pointer from the center circle also "swished" through the net.

No one in the entire room could make a sound.

Everyone stared with their mouths agape and their eyes wide, like a flock of dumb geese struck by lightning.

The twelfth.

Twelve consecutive shots made from the center circle.

36 points.

Jiang Chen didn't even dribble once; he just stood in the center circle and hit twelve long-range three-pointers, bringing the score to 36-0.

"..."

After the deathly silence came a frenzy like a landslide and a tsunami!

"Twelve consecutive hits!!! Twelve consecutive hits in the center circle!!!"

"My mom... my mom... my mom... I can't speak human language anymore!"

"This isn't basketball, this is magic! Jiang Shen must be a Hogwarts graduate, right?"

"The greatest shooter of all time! Without a doubt! Even the NBA's top stars would kneel down and call him their patriarch!"

"Curry? Curry is a little brother in front of Jiang Shen! No, he's the smallest of the small brothers!"

"This accuracy...is beyond human comprehension!"

"Jiang Shen, please accept my utmost respect! From today onwards, you are my basketball idol!"

Tang Ruoxi covered her mouth, her eyes curving into crescents.

Although she didn't quite understand the difficulty of basketball, judging from the crazy reaction of the entire audience, what Jiang Chen did was probably incredibly awesome.

Hao Yingjun had already knelt down.

They really knelt down.

He immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and shouted to Jiang Chen, "Godfather! Please accept my bow! From this day forward, you are my father!"

Jiang Chen: "...Get up, you're embarrassing."

[Ding! You've received +800 Amazing Points!]

[Current Amazing Value: 4400 points]

Xu Yunzhou stood there, completely numb.

He felt his worldview was collapsing.

Twelve consecutive hits in the center circle?

Is this something a carbon-based organism could do?

He had previously been thinking of shaving Jiang Chen's head and beating him 50-0.

Now look...

The person with the shaved head looks like himself?

The score was 36-0, and he hadn't even touched the ball.

"wrong……"

Xu Yunzhou suddenly felt a jolt.

He stared intently at Jiang Chen, a thought flashing through his mind:

"Jiang Chen hasn't dribbled the ball even once since the tip-off!"

"He always catches the ball and shoots immediately, he doesn't even dribble once!"

"Could it be...?"

Xu Yunzhou's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Does he only know how to shoot and not how to dribble past opponents?"

"Yes! That must be it!"

"His shooting accuracy is insane, but his dribbling skills are probably terrible!"

"So all I have to do is stick close to him on defense and not give him any space to shoot, and he's done for!"

"As long as he's forced to dribble, I can steal the ball!"

Thinking of this, Xu Yunzhou grasped at a lifeline, and his ashen face instantly regained its color.

He took a deep breath, re-adopted a defensive stance, and his eyes blazed with the final fighting spirit.

"Jiang Chen!"

He roared, "I've seen through your weakness!"

"You can't dribble! You can't get past defenders! You can't shoot a layup!"

"All you do is stand still and shoot!"

"From now on, I'll stick to you like glue; I won't give you an inch of space!"

"Standing still for more than 5 seconds without shooting is a violation!"

"Then, possession of the ball will be mine!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.

"So what if you're a great shooter? Basketball isn't a shooting contest!"

"If you can't dribble past me, you're doomed to lose!"

The entire room fell silent upon hearing this.

Many people wore thoughtful expressions.

"Yeah... Jiang Shen really doesn't seem to have dribbled the ball even once?"

"Is he really only good at shooting?"

"What if Xu Yunzhou sticks to him and doesn't give him any space to shoot? What will Jiang Shen do then?"

"When it comes to dribbling past opponents... Xu Yunzhou's defense is indeed quite formidable..."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense again.

Tang Ruoxi frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Chen.

Hao Yingjun panicked: "Brother Chen, what if he really tries to get close to us?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

His smile was so bright, it was incredibly irritating.

He slowly picked up the ball, twirled it between his fingertips, and then looked at Xu Yunzhou with a mocking gaze.

"Hey kid, who told you... I can't dribble past people?"

"I just think that dealing with trash like you doesn't require that much trouble."

"Why bother dribbling when you can just stand still and shoot a few three-pointers?"

He paused, then his voice suddenly turned cold:

"But since you're so eager to see me dribble..."

"Then I'll reluctantly show you."

"Watch closely..."
