Suddenly, a strange boy appeared on the basketball court, and he all of a sudden grabbed Akio Okada by the neck, which made everyone present extremely surprised.
“Fighting in the court? Where do you think this is?” A player said in a loud voice.
At this time, other players quickly rushed over to their side.
Lei Yin ignored them, turning away, he looked at Akio Okada, and coldly said, “Did Narimura Haruko told you to hurt my sister?” As he spoke, Lei Yin mixed in some of his qi, which made Akio Okada’s mind to be in chaos.
For a moment, Akio Okada thought that he saw some strange light in Lei Yin’s eyes, and after seeing that light, he felt tired and unable to think properly.
“Narimura Haruko asked me to do it, she said that….” Akio Okada said something that even he didn’t dare think he would do.
“Very good.” Lei Yin didn’t bother to listen anymore. He sneered and restored his vision, and dragged him outside.
The answer was as he had expected. When he had asked Takeda on the phone about this man, he immediately knew that the accident was caused by one of Narimura Haruko’s powerful suitors. so, he began to suspect that this guy may have been ordered by that woman to go hit Kazumi. At that time, he was still a bit unsure whether that woman would really do such a silly thing. But in any case, this guy still pushed Kazumi, and afterwards, walked away without apologizing to her, which made Lei Yin very p.i.s.sed. The only difference was that, if this guy had truly intended to, he would have seriously harmed her.
As he took a few steps, several players immediately stopped him.
“What do you want? Hurry up, and let go of him.” A player who seemed to be the team captain appeared before Lei Yin, and using his nearly two-meter-tall body, he blocked Lei Yin.
“Go away. I have something, I want to talk with this guy.” In order to prevent Okada Akio from struggling, Lei Yin sealed his internal force using acupuncture. And he quickly seized the No. 5 player’s throat, who was already unable to use his full strength.
“This is the basketball club’s court, and not for people like you to come and fight. Quickly release him, and get out of here.” If it weren’t for him being afraid to cause a scene, then the big guy would have already used his fist and hit him.
“I’ll say it one more time, immediately leave before I get mad.” If Takeda or Yoshikawa were here, it would have been very clear to them, just by looking at Lei Yin’s eyes, that the situation was going to become extremely dangerous.
At the same time, the onlookers who saw this were talking among themselves.
“That person looks familiar.”
“Idiot, that’s Gennai Masashi. My G.o.d, what does he want to do this time?”
“He really is a human weapon, what does he want to do with my man?” a female student almost fainted.
“It seems like the basketball club didn’t offend him, but then why is he holding Okada’s neck?”
“This time, it looks like they will have a good play.” A male student gloated.
And, several people in the basketball court, continued their fight.
But, at that moment, Lei Yin’s patience had finally reached its limit. He was too lazy to say anything, so he dragged Akio Okada and walked around the captain as the two-meter-tall person looked down at him.
Those players who stood in front of him simply didn’t know, that so long as they try to stop him, their fate will become miserable.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I told you to let go of him.” The team captain flew into rage, and rushed towards him.
Lei Yin just sneered, as he moved and suddenly appeared in front of him, when suddenly a strong voice called out, “What exactly is happening?”
“coach” The team captain immediately stopped and bowed towards the middle-aged man standing at the doorway. The other players also bowed towards him.
“I just went out for a while, for it to become such a mess, can anyone tell me exactly what had happened?” The coach walked up to several of the players, and yelled at them. The female manager behind him jumped up in surprise, as the coach was calling for her.
“Coach Tanimura, this person wanted to cause trouble, and I’m just about to drive him out.” The team captain replied.
From the start when he had arrived, the middle-aged man had been watching Lei Yin. He then shouted at the Lei Yin who was making trouble, “I don’t care who you are, but you’re not welcome here, leave.”
“Excuse me, I’ll go.” Lei Yin was surprisingly obedient, but when he was about to walk out, his hand was still grabbing the No. 5 player.
“What do you want, immediately let him go, or I’ll notify the Student Union.” Coach Tanimura couldn’t ignore such behavior, so he immediately stepped in front of Lei Yin, and shouted.
If it were those players doing this, then Lei Yin would have already smashed them down. But this guy was after all a teacher, he also didn’t want to be the first student to beat a faculty member in Teikyo University and get expelled from school. So he said to the man in the jersey, “I just want to have a word with Okada student, so please don’t stop me.”
“If you just want to talk, then why are you seizing him by his neck? I’ll warn you once, immediately release him, or I’ll call the student union to deal with this matter.” Coach Tanimura said resentfully.
It seems like now isn’t the good time to get revenge. Lei Yin shrugged, letting go of the No. 5 player who wasn’t able to breath.
Just as Akio Okada was released, he immediately gasped for breath, but found it very hard as he felt a burning sensation on his throat.
“Okada student, we still haven’t finished our talk, so I’ll be patiently waiting for you to come out.” Lei Yin said with a smile.
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what do you actually want?” Akio Okada, who tried very hard to breath, pointed at Lie Yin and shouted at once.
“I can’t believe you’re so quick to forget what you had just said. Don’t worry, I’ll make you remember it again.”
Seeing Lei Yin’s expression, Coach Tanimura knew that he would absolutely not give up. And one day he would come here again, and possibly cause trouble. Right now, the basketball club was preparing for the upcoming summer tournament, so he didn’t want the team to get affected because of this incident.
“Although I don’t know what matter is between the two of you, but this is a basketball court, and if you agree, I hope that you can handle this matter in a civilized manner.”
After speaking these words, Coach Tanimura started to stated his own proposition.
After hearing his so-called proposition, Lei Yin said to Coach Tanimura, “Although I don’t mean to make fun of you Coach Tanimura, but don’t you think your idea is a little boring?”
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what did you say?” The team captain, who was the person that most respected Coach Tanimura, immediately shouted.
As far as Lie Yin was concerned, he wasn’t trying to make fun of anyone. But, he had made fun of Coach Tanimura, and said to him expressionlessly, “Don’t tell me, you think this is just a fight? If your answer is yes, then I am sorry, I’m sorry to tell you that’s just pure ignorance. And The person who is ignorant, and is unable to use his brain properly will never understand anything if you don’t use actions to make him understand.”
“Coach Tanimura, you’re not supposed to be a basketball coach, but rather a critic. Because what you said is similar to critics using words to abuse politicians.”
“Since you want to be a hoodlum, then I have no other alternative. But this is the basketball court, and only people that play or watch the game are welcomed here, so please get out.” Coach Tanimura knew that what this person was saying was his own b.l.o.o.d.y belief.
Lei Yin didn’t say anything, and just looked at the audience and players glaring at him. He then suddenly laughed, “Maybe what you’re saying is a bit true, sometimes it’s better to use your own brain, I accept your proposition.”
Coach Tanimura’s eyes revealed a self-satisfied look, he said to Lei Yin, “I want you to promise, that if you lose, later you can’t come here to cause trouble again, and can’t look for Okada and trouble him again.”
“And if I win?”
“So long as you don’t cause trouble here, I won’t interfere in your matter again.”
“Then so be it, it’s a deal.” Lei Yin readily agreed.
—
“Do you want to change your shoes; I don’t want to hear you say that you lost because of your shoes.” Coach Tanimura looked at the shoes Lei Yin was wearing.
“No, I never wear someone else’s shoes, because I’m afraid that I’ll get infected by someone else’s foot.” Lei Yin told the truth.
Coach Tanimura didn’t blame him, he could only blame himself, ‘for asking to humiliate himself’. He quickly cheered up, and shouted at the players, “Quickly come in the court.”
Hearing the coach, who was obviously angry, the players sped up and immediately picked up the b.a.l.l.s, putting them away, emptying the court.
“Do you have any problem, if I be the referee for this game? If you feel it’s unfair, you can choose someone else.” Coach Tanimura said.
“I don’t have any issue with it.”
“If that’s the case, then I ask you to quickly get in the court.”
Lei Yin shrugged, and walked towards the center of the basketball court. There, Okada Akio sneered from where he was standing.
Coach Tanimura was holding the basketball with one hand, and walked towards their side, “I’ll repeat the rules again, the score will be up to ten points, in ten minutes, the two sides will take turns attacking, there’s no rest time during the game, the side who first score ten points wins. If the two side haven’t scored ten points in ten minutes, then the side that has the most scores, WINS. Is there something that you can’t understand?”
After a while, seeing that both side didn’t said anything, Coach Tanimura immediately exclaimed, “Begin.” With that, he threw the ball into the air.
In the case of jump ball, Okada Akio, who was taller obviously had the advantage. He jumped up, and as expected caught the ball in midair.
The result was as he had expected. But he felt it was a bit strange, because just when he jumped for the ball, Lei Yin just stood there motionless and didn’t jump.
Maybe he knew that he couldn’t jump as high as me. Okada Akio thought to himself, and quickly dribbled to the opposite side of the basket.
A compet.i.tion between two people just having half the court would be enough, but Coach Tanimura thought that Okada Akio was an official player, if he had won purely because of his basketball skills against the student causing trouble, he thought it wouldn’t be enough. So, he wanted to give Okada a chance to make Lei Yin realize that he lacked physical strength. He thought that Lei Yin likely didn’t exercise, so his physical fitness couldn’t be compared with that of a regular player’s. That’s why he had also made a rule to not let them rest during the compet.i.tion.
In his view, this wasn’t simply a basketball game. He did this to stop students from coming here to make trouble. So he didn’t intend to conduct any unfair compet.i.tion. An ordinary person playing against a basketball player in a basketball game, was itself quite unfair.
On the other hand, Okada Akio was very happy. He didn’t think that this fellow would comply and compete against him at his own game. He really wanted to beat this guy, and make him lose face. Haruko, see how I’ll beat this guy.
Thinking of this, he quickly dribbled under the basket. And at the same time he heard footsteps coming from behind him.
It seems like this guy isn’t slow, but what’s the point?
He suddenly stopped, and stood in front of the two-point line, and just when Okada Akio prepared to shoot, he suddenly felt that his hands were empty, and found that the ball was gone?
He was startled, immediately turning his head, he unexpectedly saw the ball in Lei Yin’s hand. Lei Yin had taken it without him realizing it.
After Lei Yin grabbed the ball, he didn’t immediately rush to the other side, but instead dribble as he waited for him. And finally with his left hand, he dribbled the ball through his legs.
Feeling belittled, the No. 5 player screamed in his mind, and immediately rushed to the other side to get the ball back.
When Okada Akio ran to him, Lei Yin finally made his move.
His speed was no way inferior to Akio Okada’s, as he ran to the other side of the basket. Feeling a sense of crisis, the No. 5 player immediately picked up his pase, thinking of stopping him.
When Lei Yin was in front of the three-point line, he suddenly stopped. Okada Akio quickly stopped in front of him, trying to stop him from shooting.
But Lei Yin didn’t shoot right away, instead he sneered at Okada Akio, and then he flashed through from his side, and threw the ball into the basket.
The process was simple, yet almost n.o.body could clearly see how Lei Yin flash through Okada Akio was blocking him, even Okada Akio himself couldn’t see it clearly, even though he was in front of him, and yet he had all of a sudden appeared right behind him.
Okada Akio wasn’t able to react til the ball went into the basket.
“Nothing special.” Facing Akio Okada’s astonished eyes, Lei Yin said softly.
a.s.shole! Okada Akio was furious. He vowed in his heart, never to let this guy get any more points.
And at this time Coach Tanimura who was acting as the referee actually felt something unusual, even he hadn’t clearly saw how this fellow dodged Okada. He has been a coach for many years, but even he couldn’t tell what had happened.
It was the second player, Lei Yin’s, turn to attack, he walked slowly from his side, and brought the ball to the opposite side of the court. Seeing Okada Akio waiting for him to come at the three-point line, Lei Yin suddenly made a move that made everyone here shocked.
His action in other people’s perspective can only be described as amateurish, as they watch how he shot the ball in the basket. But that wasn’t the surprising part, the thing that was truly unacceptable was the fact that he was shooting from the middle of the court.
Everyone was waiting to see how the ball would fall in vain, but the next scene made everyone unable to believe their eyes.
*Swoosh*
No matter how they looked at it, it seemed like a desperate shot, but unexpectedly the ball didn’t even hit the board, and instead went into the ring. That was a shot made from the middle of the court.
No Way? Everyone had the same thought when they saw this scene.
Seeing this, the basketball club captain’s jaw almost fell down, and he couldn’t help but want Lei Yin in the team.
At that moment, the whole stadium became very quiet, almost everyone there knew a little bit about basketball, as they looked at the, calm looking, monster who had shot the ball from the middle of the court.
*Beep* After the whistle was blown, everyone finally reacted and pondered for a bit, but n.o.body could regarded the compet.i.tion to be a one-sided game any longer.
Because the game didn’t have any time for rests, the game continued.
Seven minutes later, astonishment appeared on all eyes.
Because, there were only two people playing, Coach Tanimura couldn’t use the rule ‘of holding the ball for 30 seconds’.
The audience, who were watching the game, began to wonder which one was the real basketball player.
Until now, Okada Akio looked like an amateur. He had even said, to Lei Yin before the game, that he would score seven points in less than a minute.
And, he was the one that was the representative of Teikyou University in every basketball game, and was also the one in charge of making the team win.
