"Chu Ting has excellent dribbling and passing skills, and his mid-to-long-range shooting is consistent. He can be said to be the key figure among them."

The boy with the earring gave off a frivolous vibe, wiggled his finger to greet the camera, and smiled at the same time.

"Zheng Yu is good at setting screens and often creates shooting space for his teammates. However, underestimating him will be a big mistake. He has a strong ability to put back in the basket and a high shooting percentage in the mid-range."

The last boy, the most muscular of the three, simply nodded at the camera.

The three were quite well-known in Sakura, and each won some cheers.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior. On the other side, wearing red and white jerseys, is the Haotian team from Class 6 of Grade 1. As freshmen, they have made it to the finals. They are definitely a dark horse. In the first two days of the competition, Haotian team encountered some problems, but they overcame the difficulties with their excellent adaptability and became stronger and stronger. They have quietly become a strong contender for the championship. Their team has a very clear division of labor: one person is responsible for dunking inside, one person is responsible for shooting from outside, and the last person sets screens to draw defenders."

"Yes, although the three players' skills are a bit raw and their abilities are not comprehensive enough, their combination is surprisingly strong, like a ferocious two-headed shark swimming underwater. If the opponent is careless, they will be swallowed by its bloody jaws."

"Yes, their opponents must be well aware of their terrifying offensive capabilities. Let me introduce the specific players. First is captain Chen Hao. Although he had a poor performance in the knockout stage, his long-range shooting percentage is generally very high. He is one of the two heads of the 'two-headed shark'."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hao loudly protested to the journalism students who were squatting in front of him with cameras in the rest area, "Let's not talk about that accident again!"

"Haha, he seems to have a problem with my assessment. So next up is Nie Zhe, a bespectacled, well-mannered-looking guy. He's the torso of the two-headed shark, dedicated to creating shooting space for the other two, and rarely takes the shot himself."

The vice class monitor of Class 6, Grade 11, pushed up his glasses and smiled at the camera.

The handsome guy with glasses won a cheer that rivaled the cheers of the three students from Class 6 of Senior Three.

The class monitor of Class 6, Grade 1, who also wore glasses and had long, straight black hair, was not far away, engrossed in organizing logistical supplies, and seemed displeased.

"Well, to be honest, I don't really want to introduce the last one. Anyway, everyone knows him. He became the biggest scourge of Yinghua School's atmosphere in less than a year since he entered the school. I feel like mentioning him will cause a riot. Well, the riot has already started..."

When the camera focused on the handsome young man in a sports uniform sitting on the bench, he simply sat with his arms resting on his knees in a pigeon-toed posture, casually smiling and nodding at the camera. The dappled sunlight fell on the young man's three-dimensional features and long, powerful limbs. His fair skin and well-proportioned, powerful muscles gave him the perfect look of a male model in a magazine after makeup and photo editing.

Some of the girls watching from the stands immediately let out exaggerated screams.

"Cheng Fei—!"

"Who's dating this guy?! Oh, it's Lin Xuanqi, never mind then..."

Sitting in a quiet corner of the stands, Shen Xi frowned, avoiding eye contact with the large screen as if there was something dirty inside that was too unpleasant to look at.

Beside her, Nagasaki Asuna rested her chin on her hands, silently gazing at the boy in the picture, the corners of her mouth subtly turning upwards, her bright eyes narrowing into two crescent moons brimming with autumn water.

"What? The president said he'd deduct my commentary allowance if I don't give a proper introduction? Ahem, well then, the last one is Cheng Fei, the other end of the double-headed shark, corresponding to Chen Hao's long-range shooting. Cheng Fei's specialty is dunking, dunking, and more dunking. His athleticism is terrifying, and his stamina seems inexhaustible. In the previous elimination rounds, he dunked fifteen times in a row, making him a true physical monster and dunking maniac."

As soon as he finished speaking, a new round of discussion and shouts erupted from the audience.

"Is it really that insane? I'd like to see..."

"Just deduct it!"

"This is exactly what I want to see!"

……

431. Chen Hao was petrified.

In the highest corner of the audience, Lin Xuanqi frowned slightly. "Xiaoshuang, is the student council president they're talking about Kong Siyuan?"

"As expected," Ye Shuang nodded beside her.

"What's her relationship with Cheng Fei?" Lin Xuanqi squinted.

"It seems to be because of you, Miss. She's also very interested in Cheng Fei, but Cheng Fei isn't familiar with her," Ye Shuang said nonchalantly.

"This idiot, he's just bored and has nothing better to do." Lin Xuanqi's eyes flickered.

In the rest area, as the start time of the game drew near, the air seemed to freeze as if it were solid.

Except for Cheng Fei, who was yawning, most people looked serious.

The students in Class 6 of Grade 11 who were in charge of logistics gathered together and chatted.

"Speaking of which, a freshman winning a 3x3 basketball championship is a record-breaking achievement. I guess it'll be recorded in the school history museum, right?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm getting nervous too."

"That's right, and three-on-three basketball is counted as three medals, so we can get a subsidy. It's great that our class has Cheng Fei."

Hearing these words, Du Xinhua glanced sideways at Chen Hao, who was sitting on the bench next to her with his head down and silent. "You're not even going to argue that you also deserve credit?"

"..." Chen Hao bent over, his arms crossed over his abdomen, motionless. He didn't know when he had been in this state, as if he were petrified.

"Is it just my imagination? Why are you sweating?" Du Xinhua observed him.

"Are you too nervous? Relax, let's just do our best and not worry too much about the result." The vice squad leader cast a concerned glance his way.

"Is everything alright?" Cheng Fei looked over as well.

The three exchanged glances, tacitly agreeing not to mention his previous poor performance.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Chen Hao slowly raised his head.

"Why are you sweating so much?" Du Xinhua asked in surprise.

"Everyone, I might have eaten something a bit too spicy for lunch, and now... my stomach is upset." Chen Hao managed to squeeze out four words with a very serious expression.

"What did you eat?" Du Xinhua asked in surprise.

"...The Sichuan hot pot restaurant in the electronics street." Chen Hao clutched his stomach, his expression one of indescribable hardship, as if he were enduring intense pain.

"Spicy? And you also ate ice cream?" Du Xinhua recalled.

"Should we hurry up and go to the restroom now?" The vice squad leader pushed up his glasses, remaining very calm.

"No, I'm just a little uncomfortable, but I don't feel that way." Chen Hao shook his head slowly, clearly not as relaxed as he said. He looked at the other boy, "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"I think you might have to work a little harder later." Chen Hao's expression was like that of Liu Bei entrusting his son to Zhuge Liang in Baidi City, carrying a faint sense of impending death.

The boy paused for a second, then said, "It's okay, as long as you're on the field."

No one noticed the four people talking in hushed tones. A moment later, the assistant referee came over to remind the players to come onto the field.

So, amidst the attention and applause of the entire Sakura Academy, the three students from Class 6 of Grade 1 and Class 6 of Grade 3 walked to the center of the empty arena and stood facing each other.

Aside from the two players on the field, no one noticed that one of the boys with a pompadour was walking unsteadily and had a stiff expression.

"We can see the players from both sides entering the field. The long-awaited match is about to begin. The Haotian team in red and white jerseys is facing off against the Yuexia Sanxiong team in white jerseys. Class 6 of Grade 1 is playing against Class 6 of Grade 3. The fateful showdown has come true." Su Wenwen's clear voice rang out.

"Well, let's wait and see whether the trident pierces the two-headed shark or the two-headed shark bites off the trident."

"It's still a coin toss to decide which side to choose. Okay, Class 6 of Grade 1 gets the opening possession."

The previously noisy basketball court suddenly became extremely quiet, as if you could hear the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the match began on the sun-baked court, with the frivolous boy with an earring serving the ball to Cheng Fei.

The moment the boy got the ball, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the crisp sound of the sports shoes rubbing against the plastic surface could be clearly heard.

"Chu Ting and Cheng Fei are both very agile players," Su Wenwen exclaimed.

"Hmm, but... wow! Such an exaggeratedly fast change of direction! Cheng Fei shook off Chu Ting and attacked the inside. Class 6 of Senior Three needs to help defend."

On the court, the boy's sudden burst of speed after his feint caught the frivolous boy off guard, causing him to stagger. When he realized the boy had disappeared from sight, he was momentarily stunned before gritting his teeth.

This scene elicited a small cheer from the audience.

Cheng Fei dribbled towards the basket, and a boy with black armbands, who was half a head taller than him, quickly came to block him. As Cheng Fei ran forward, he threw the ball to the outside without even looking.

"The ball is passed to Chen Hao, who takes a two-point shot, but it misses. What a pity!" Su Wenwen's tone also became excited.

Everyone in the stands watched as the ball bounced off the backboard, their hearts leaping and then dropping.

"Wait, Cheng Fei, there's more... beautiful!"

Fang Qing's words turned into praise halfway through. To everyone's surprise, the boy in the red and white jersey took a long run-up, leaped up ahead of all the players who were preparing to grab the rebound, caught the ball and dunked it in one smooth motion, smashing the ball that had just escaped the backboard back into the basket.

Amidst the solemn expressions of the three students in Class 6 of Senior Three, the bright red electronic scoreboard numbers ticked up.

"1:0"

The stands erupted in uproar, with those who had missed the previous matches stunned.

"Are you serious?!"

"So strong!"

"Is he a professional player?!"

Su Wenwen shouted, "It's here! Chen Haoyuan throws in Cheng Fei's signature combo for a putback dunk, and the ferocious two-headed shark scores the first point!"

"This skill is indeed top-notch in school competitions. No wonder they became this year's dark horse," Fang Qing murmured.

"Then the ball is given to Class 6 of Senior Three. Now it's time to test the Double-Headed Sharks' defensive ability."

"Yes, the Trident should not be underestimated either."

"Chu Ting is dribbling the ball very fast. He passes it to Xiao Zekai. Should he take a two-point shot? It goes in!"

"A very accurate long-range shot, it's a complete display of skill."

The boy with the black arm sleeve breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the ball fall into the basket, and immediately adjusted his position.

A cheer erupted from the audience.

"1:2"

"Both sides performed exceptionally well in their respective offensive rounds, it seems this is destined to be a thrilling match!" Su Wenwen exclaimed.

On a cloudless afternoon, the blazing sun bathed the arena. Attracted by the explosive momentum of the two sides chasing each other at the start, even those who were drowsy or looking down at their phones and not paying attention to the game looked up.

All eyes, from casual spectators, sports enthusiasts, and supporters of both sides, were focused on the center of the field.

The intense atmosphere of the game seemed to burn brightly, bringing the stands to a fever pitch. The dizzying atmosphere of the game permeated the entire basketball court, spreading in all directions.

This atmosphere continued until three minutes into the game, when Chu Ting committed a tactical foul during a confrontation with Cheng Fei.

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the boy with the pompadour next to me raised his hand, clutching his stomach with a strange expression, and said, "I want to call a timeout!"

……

432. The two-headed shark lost one head.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the audience, the game was paused, and both teams returned to their respective rest areas. The score remained unchanged at 9:6, with Class 6 of Grade 1 leading.

"what happened?"

"Is Cheng Fei hurt?"

"It doesn't seem like it..."

In the rest area of ​​Class 6, Grade 1, before most students had even figured out what was going on, Chen Hao had already dashed off the field, leaving behind only one sentence: "I'll be back as soon as possible!"

Du Xinhua shaded her eyes with her hand as she watched his figure disappear into the astonished gazes of those around her. "Will he really come back?"

"I hope so," the vice-squad leader shook his head.

Su Wenwen's voice rang out, "Just now, it should have been Chu Ting who fouled Cheng Fei, but Class 6 of Grade 1 applied for a timeout, and Chen Hao hurriedly left the field. I don't know what happened."

"Unexpected situations are common in games, so please be patient. In official 3x3 basketball games, there is only a 30-second timeout. Our school sports meet has more lenient rules, allowing a maximum of two minutes. After two minutes, the game will continue no matter what happens."

"The wildness and fast pace of 3x3 basketball are also fully reflected in this aspect."

In the rest area of ​​Class 6, Grade 12, the three panting students seized the time to recover their strength. Their eyes met, and they all saw the shock of escaping death in their companions' eyes.

Cheng Fei and Chen Hao's inside-outside combination is simply too abnormal. They guard one side while shooting from the other. Every offensive possession in the first three minutes is a scoring opportunity. The relentless pressure makes the three of them breathless, as if they are really facing a two-headed shark, taking bites from the left and right. No matter which side they guard, the other side will tear off a piece of flesh.

Thankfully, one of the heads is probably no longer able to participate...

Time ticked by, and when the referee's timer reached two minutes, Du Xinhua's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and quickly answered, "Hello? Okay."

Under the curious gaze of her classmates, Du Xinhua handed her phone to Cheng Fei, saying, "Chen Hao is looking for you."

The boy took the phone and put it to his ear, "Hello."

"Cheng Fei!"

"what?"
