Chapter 2053 - 2254: The Crowd Surges!!!
They couldn't bear to watch this scene happen. The Goddess they thought about day and night was wiping sweat for another guy right in front of their eyes. How heartbreaking could this be? Such an intimate action should only be performed for them, not for someone else.In an instant, Hao Jian didn't even realize he had become the imaginary enemy of many male students at the school. Countless boys looked at him with hatred in their eyes, and some even with a murderous gaze. Luckily, he didn't see it; otherwise, he might have been startled.
So, a group of people who initially came to see Hao Jian's embarrassment, after witnessing this scene, were instantly disheartened and couldn't bear to watch anymore, so they all left, leaving Hao Jian and his team to train wholeheartedly on the field.
Soon, class was in session again, so Liang Xiaohan and Zhang Danlin returned to the classroom, leaving only Hao Jian's group on the basketball court.
Less than an hour was left until the afternoon match. At this time, Hao Jian observed the results of the training. It was impossible for there to be any significant improvement in just a few hours, but with such high-intensity and non-stop training, there was bound to be some effect.
For instance, Zheng Jun, who could play basketball initially, didn't have a high shooting percentage, but after these hours of training, his accuracy had noticeably improved. He could make three shots out of five, and if he maintained this state, he might even hit all five.
As for Wu Jun, Qu Liucheng, and Ma Yantao, Hao Jian didn't hold much hope for them. But now, they could dribble steadily and even perform actions like pick-and-rolls and steals, so they'd accomplished more than expected.
This made Hao Jian very satisfied. As for the others, under the leadership of Hu Lai and Fatty, they couldn't do much but were good enough for substitutes. So Hao Jian didn't need to worry too much about that. Now, they just needed to train a bit more, and then let everyone rest, eat something, and prepare for the afternoon match.
After another half an hour of training, Hao Jian checked the time. There was half an hour left before class ended, and not long after, the match with Gao Yanfei and his team would start. So, at this time, Hao Jian waved his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
"Alright, that's enough training for now, everyone take a break," Hao Jian said, waving his hand.
Upon hearing Hao Jian's command, those who were still training diligently put down their balls and sat down to rest. Actually, the training and exercise volume this afternoon was equivalent to a few days' worth of their usual routines, so they were a bit tired now.
However, compared to the ridicule from Class Five, this tiredness was nothing. So, although they were tired, it was only a minor fatigue to them. After a short rest, they quickly regained their energy. Seeing they had been resting for ten minutes, Hao Jian waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone go eat something, then take a shower and change clothes. Be here on time after that for the afternoon match."
With Hao Jian's words, everyone went about their individual tasks to replenish energy and get themselves in the best state. Meanwhile, Hao Jian slowly walked towards the school supermarket, bought a bottle of drink, and drank it all in one go.
That was satisfying, Hao Jian thought. Then, he walked slowly back to the basketball court to sit and rest. However, as soon as he sat down, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Not going to eat?" It was Li Weiwei's voice as she suddenly appeared beside Hao Jian.
"Ah!" Hao Jian exclaimed in surprise, then turned to see Li Weiwei already standing there, holding some food.
Seeing this, Hao Jian realized that Li Weiwei must have noticed he didn't go to the cafeteria and purposely bought some food to bring to him. Immediately, he felt a warm sensation inside; it had been a long time since he'd felt this kind of concern from someone.
Thinking of this, Hao Jian didn't say much else, directly reaching out to take the food from Li Weiwei's hands and started eating. Li Weiwei seeing this, laughed and teased, "Weren't you not hungry? How come you're eating now?"
Hao Jian was too lazy to respond to her. Women are strange creatures; you brought the food over, how could I not eat it? Besides, if I didn't eat, wouldn't you criticize me even more? Kind enough to bring the food yet it goes uneaten, that would be a sorry situation.
So, Hao Jian paid no mind, simply grabbing the food and eating. Although lunch was substantial, he couldn't handle the strain of the afternoon; moreover, there was a tough battle ahead, so it was wise to fill up a bit to avoid discomfort later.
A few minutes later, Hao Jian finished eating and disposed of the garbage and packaging into the trash bin.
At this time, Li Weiwei looked at him and asked, "Up next, it's all on you."
Hao Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry, just watch. The result won't disappoint you."
As they were talking, the class bell had already rung, and students were filing out of the classrooms, making the main roads crowded with teachers and students passing by. Meanwhile, commotion came from the freshman building, and soon, they saw Gao Yanfei leading a large group toward them.
Hao Jian gave Li Weiwei a look, and she left. As the class instructor, she should only watch from the side, staying out of the picture to avoid affecting the players. After all, having a class instructor there could hinder Gao Yanfei's team in some way, leading to claims that Li Weiwei was obstructing them.
Gao Yanfei and his group walked in with great momentum and settled down on one side of the basketball court. They looked extremely confident, not even preparing substitutes; there were only five of them in jerseys, suggesting they'd play the whole match themselves.
They looked at Hao Jian with a condescending attitude, like a strong opponent looking down on a weaker one. But Hao Jian acted like he didn't see them at all, not paying them any heed. Whether a mule or a horse, it must be put to the test. He initially worried that if Gao Yanfei's team had substitutes, his strategy might not work, but unexpectedly, they were so arrogant not to prepare any. That made things easier for his plan to work.
Gao Yanfei's team didn't say much, just sat there relaxing. This could also count as a class match, and given Gao Yanfei's popularity, when he came to play against Hao Jian's class, naturally, the girls from his class all came to support him, with most of the boys also present, cheering him on.
Hao Jian stood alone on the basketball court. Before long, Zheng Jun and the others returned, having rested and changed into uniforms. Although amateurs, their geared-up appearance projected an almost professional vibe, thanks to the confident air they exuded.
Without unnecessary chatter, everyone gathered according to schedule. Hao Jian counted heads, confirmed everyone was present, and smiled.
Meanwhile, since the news had spread about the match between Hao Jian's Class Three and Gao Yanfei's Class Five, the basketball court was quickly surrounded by a crowd. There were onlookers unaware of the tension and serious supporters of Gao Yanfei.
The game hadn't started yet, but the crowd was thick all around. Because of Gao Yanfei's deliberate promotion, more and more people kept joining to watch the game. Additionally, Hao Jian had previously stirred up several buzzworthy events at Yawen, so when hearing it was him again, even older students couldn't resist their curiosity and joined the crowd for the anticipated spectacle.
Li Weiwei somehow found a discreet spot to watch the game amidst the crowd.
And Jiang Kexin also appeared without directly joining in, instead quietly standing aside watching the match.
By this time, the crowd had grown significantly, with more people joining, but the game still hadn't commenced.
"Why hasn't it started yet?" someone began to complain.
However, just as that was said, the crowd experienced another stir, as the majority's attention quickly turned to one spot.
"Look! It's Xiaohai! She's wearing the cheerleading outfit to cheer for Hao Jian's Class Three."
"Wow..."
Immediately, this elicited a gasp of amazement.
Even though class ended a while ago, Zhang Danlin immediately took Xiaohai and Qiqi to change outfits, which took time. Even at the fastest, it was only at this moment they arrived.
"Goddess!"
