On the opposite field, Zhao Jing raised her middle finger provocatively at her.

She was looking down on her.

Shi Man looked at her expressionlessly and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. The moment Zhao Jing looked over, she had already turned her back to her and treated her as air.

Zhao Jing was angry in her heart, but there were so many people watching. If she made too many cheap shots, it would lower others’ good impression of her.

Especially Hong Ze.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Jing took a deep breath and barely suppressed her anger from being ignored by Shi Man. She walked back to the front of her team with a cold expression and methodically arranged the work on the field.

It was the same for Shi Man.

Considering that this was Shi Man’s first time playing basketball, Cheng Luo gave her a small forward position.

Her physical fitness and movement techniques far exceeded everyone on the field. Moreover, she was good at singles. She was most suited for finding an opportunity to shoot at the front and stabilize the morale of the army at critical moments.

Most importantly, although Shi Man understood the theory of basketball, she could not completely guarantee her hit rate. The position of the small striker required a slightly lower hit rate.

As the backbone of the team, Cheng Luo naturally acted as the point guard.

This position was equivalent to the commander-in-chief of a normal basketball game.

Her physical fitness was excellent, and the team members admired her. She was the most suitable person to command on the field.

The competition officially began.

The judges blew their whistles, and everyone in the arena immediately moved.

Yue Ming’s competition was after the women’s basketball competition. Therefore, he had just taken advantage of the time to run to the girls’ dormitory and throw away the trash on the entire floor. Just as he washed his hands and sat down, his companion beside him put a hand on his shoulder.

Yue Ming glared at that person coldly.

The man hurriedly put down his hand with a smile and pointed at Shi Man, who was extremely agile in the middle of the arena. He commented, “Class monitor, look at Instructor Shi’s skills. I feel that she’s not inferior to Chief Lu when he was young!”

Yue Ming knew Shi Man’s strength, but when he saw her calm posture in the crowd, he was still a little shocked. “I really want to know who Instructor Shi learned such good skills from.”

He had heard about what happened when Chief Lu first arrived in G City. Clearly, the Lu and Shi families had never interacted before this.

Shi Man’s teacher was someone else.

However, with his experience in the capital, he really did not know anyone who could easily defeat Lu Jun.

However, the man did not think too much about it. He was only concerned about the outcome of this competition. “Do you think Instructor Shi can really win? I think she’s nimble, but she’s still a little rusty at dribbling. She almost slipped a few times. She must have never played basketball before.”

Of course, Yue Ming also saw this.

Zhao Jing’s skills were considered top-notch among women. If Shi Man only fought her, of course, she would win easily. However, when it came to a basketball court that was bound by rules, the outcome might be uncertain.

Zhao Jing clearly realized this too. When she brushed past Shi Man again, she could not help but mock, “Do you really think a rookie can beat me just because you learned it on the spot? Stop dreaming. Today, 1’11 let you know what it means to be humiliated!”

Shi Man narrowed her eyes. The next moment, she saw Zhao Jing suddenly jump up to shoot.

With her posture and angle, the ball would definitely hit the basket.

The moment she jumped up, a determined smile appeared on her face, and her eyes lit up.

However, Shi Man was already prepared.

Although she had never played basketball in person, she had seen it before. She was not as idiotic as Zhao Jing had imagined.

In the blink of an eye, the entire venue suddenly erupted with exclamations.

Zhao Jing thought that the audience was amazed by her skills. Unexpectedly, when she lowered her head slightly, she saw that Shi Man had already jumped up after her. The moment before she shot, Shi Man suddenly raised her hand and slapped the basketball away.

In an instant, the situation was reversed.

Cheng Luo was so excited that she almost flew.

However, this was not the time for her to be happy. They had only snatched the other party’s basketball, but it did not mean that they could also throw the ball through the hoop as they wished.

The few of them quickly dispersed and began to pass the ball under her arrangements.

Behind him, Gao Shu gritted her teeth in hatred and stared at their cheering backs. “Instructor Zhao, why did she snatch the ball just now?”

“Is this the time to criticize?” Zhao Jing was already furious, but after being questioned, she immediately roared angrily, “Hurry up and stop them! Why are you all staring at me? Are your legs crippled?!”

She was an instructor, so they could only endure it when she scolded them.

Gao Shu was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, but she still obeyed the order and rushed over to snatch the ball from the opponent.

The situation instantly became tense.

It was undeniable that Shi Man’s successful interception of the opponent’s scoring had laid the foundation for Cheng Luo’s victory. However, Gao Shu and the others were not to be trifled with. After several dribbles, Cheng Luo’s side could not shoot for a long time.

“What should we do, Luoluo? The deadlock is about to end!” The girl at the back asked Cheng Luo anxiously..
