Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn-Chapter 219 - 26: The Little Kitty Shows Its Claws

"The women’s basketball team is really going all out, having practice matches over the weekend. But isn’t that Wang Ke? Across from her is... a new player," the man with earrings, who was previously all smiles, recognized the uniforms of the new and veteran team members. He was never much interested in the female basketball players, but the new player standing opposite Wang Ke seemed quite pleasant-looking.

"Coach Ni isn’t here, but Bai Xue is. Why doesn’t she intervene when the new and old players are competing?" the student known as Xiao Maomao looked at Xiao Xian. Is it her? The girl who dunked during the exceptional talent exam. freewebnσvel.cøm

On Saturday, five or six players from Sacred Heart Middle School’s high school basketball team went to watch a CBA basketball game, Bayi vs. Wanma, and got inspired. Several core players of the men’s basketball team wanted to find a quiet place to practice and share their insights.

The high school gym was already reserved, so they had to use the junior high gymnasium instead.

Just then, the game between Wang Ke and Xiao Xian started.

"No way, this is the highly skilled new player recruited this year. That new player’s shooting form is all wrong, you see, she missed," there were quite a few spectators who thought so, but no one commented as directly as the man with earrings, and quite loudly.

Bai Xue heard the commotion and looked over, furrowing her brow when she saw some of the basketball players. Why are they here?

"It’s embarrassing, look, the high school players like Mao Yi and Qu Yang came over." As members of the Sacred Heart Middle School basketball team, many junior high players rejoin the high school team after entering high school.

The players from both sides were quite familiar, not to mention the high school men’s basketball team’s captain Mao Yi and the vice-captain Qu Yang. Mao Yi, who is 1.92 meters tall, became a national second-class athlete in his first year of high school. Both his parents are from the national basketball team, and he is definitely going to be a key player in the national team.

As for vice-captain Qu Yang, although his height is just over 1.80 meters and not particularly prominent in the basketball team, he is good-looking, sociable, and skilled at basketball, famously known as the "Basketball Prince" of Sacred Heart Middle School.

Junior high is the age when young love begins, so it’s no wonder that the girls from the basketball team got all stirred up.

"Captain, you saw it, I’ve given her several opportunities already, that should be enough," Wang Ke was quite cunning. Although she did not foul directly in front of Bai Xue, she still didn’t allow Xiao Xian any proper shooting opportunities, and her continuous fakes disrupted Xiao Xian, who already had a low shooting accuracy, causing her to miss repeatedly.

Now that the high school boys’ basketball team members had also arrived, Wang Ke, eager to show off, no longer had the patience to keep fooling around with Xiao Xian.

"Jeez, Wang Ke is going too far, bullying a junior. I don’t think that junior is quite suitable for the women’s basketball team. If her skills get rough, it would be a waste. She’d better join the cheerleading team. What’s the use for a girl to play basketball? Better spend more time on dressing up."

"Stop the nonsense, I don’t think that new player is necessarily going to lose," Mao Yi clearly saw Xiao Xian’s steps. Despite her repeated missed shots, her rhythm seemed even better than before, and within less than a month, she had improved significantly compared to when she first joined during the special recruitment.

Mao Yi was the guy who watched Xiao Xian test the ball on the basketball court that day.

"This situation and Wang Ke is clearly going all out. If it were Bai Xue in front instead, there would be something to see. Don’t believe it? Let’s bet. Whoever loses has to wash the team’s jerseys for a week." Qu Yang always loved to stir things up and provoke. Besides, he’d lost every time he competed with Mao Yi in basketball from grade one till now, and had already washed Mao Yi’s basketball jerseys for two years. This time he was keen on getting his own back.

"Let’s bet," Mao Yi laughed, showing his neat teeth.

As they agreed, on the basketball court, Wang Ke made a fake move, swiftly took the basketball from Xiao Xian’s hands, straightened her knees, stabilized the ball with both hands, and was just about to shoot a three-pointer.

Some of the boys from the basketball team whistled; Wang Ke was good at long shots, had a great touch, and was known as ’three of two,’ meaning at least two of her three shots would make it in.

"Ah, Xiao Xian, quick, foul her, don’t let her score, pull her arm," Zhang Yiyi was anxiously shouting from the side. At this point, she regretted calling for leaving the basketball team. If she really quit the Sacred Heart Middle School basketball team, her dad would surely be furious.
