Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Brainlessly Confident

Xiao Yifei waved his hands repeatedly, appearing utterly unconcerned, "Of course, I’ll do the same on the court, I won’t treat you guys as my students!"

"Really? Teacher, are you serious?"

A sinister look flashed across Gao Jianjun’s eyes.

"Of course, I am serious!"

Xiao Yifei kept nodding, but he soon fell into thought, and spoke softly, "However, playing against you as a teacher does seem a bit unfair."

Gao Jianjun let out a cold laugh, curious to see what trick Xiao Yifei was up to.

"Alright then!"

Xiao Yifei suddenly lifted his head and extended his hand, pointing at Gao Jianjun and his four teammates one by one, speaking casually, "All five of you, come at once!"

"What?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Gao Jianjun couldn’t believe his ears and thought he must be mistaken. He stood there stunned, staring at Xiao Yifei in total disbelief.

"Teacher, what are you talking about? Are you sure you’re not joking?"

Gao Jianjun shook his head vigorously, still bewildered, and asked again.

Basketball is a highly competitive and confrontational sport in itself and the court is not as vast as a soccer field. In soccer, it’s barely manageable to play with one player down, but in basketball, which often involves full-court man-to-man defense, being short one player is simply unworkable, let alone two players—and they were only playing half-court! Three-on-five in a half-court game is completely unplayable!

Even three NBA-level players against five CBA-level players would be outmatched, let alone a squad of four sports college students and Gao Jianjun up against Xiao Yifei, Wu Dahua, and Gu Teng!

That’s why Gao Jianjun was so astonished. It wasn’t just Gao Jianjun; even Wu Dahua gave Xiao Yifei a look of helplessness, even doubting inwardly whether Xiao Yifei actually knew how to play basketball. Just by looking, he knew that the guys next to Gao Jianjun were no ordinary folks. They might not even win three-on-three, let alone with Xiao Yifei digging such a hole right from the start.

"Teacher!"

Wu Dahua stepped forward, tugging on Xiao Yifei, "Teacher, think about it, even if we play basketball well, we’re no match for their five—especially since we’re just average! Teacher, I know you taught us to be confident, but confidence isn’t about being irrational!"

In the end, Wu Dahua added softly, "Also, teacher, can you really play? How can you propose such a disadvantageous condition for ourselves!"

Xiao Yifei looked at Wu Dahua, who seemed distrustful, grinned, and said to him, "Hey! Kid, you still don’t trust me? When have I ever been unsure about what I do! Just watch and see!"

Seeing Xiao Yifei’s utterly confident demeanor, Wu Dahua opened his mouth, sighed helplessly, and resigned himself to the situation.

This Teacher Xiao, while truly skilled in teaching, seems utterly clueless about sports, sticking stubbornly to his own way!

"No joke! Of course, I wouldn’t kid with you! I am the teacher, and you are the students. I can’t bully you, so all five of you, come on, let’s do this!"

Xiao Yifei said earnestly to Gao Jianjun.

Gao Jianjun, trying not to laugh at Xiao Yifei’s serious mien, tightly pursed his lips.

This new teacher was really foolish. Basketball isn’t like academia where a teacher’s knowledge can outshine a student’s; basketball depends on skill. Yet, he foolishly thought that as the teacher, he should give them an advantage, which was hilarious!

"Anyway, we’re just playing for fun! It won’t be a big deal! Right!"

Xiao Yifei said to Gao Jianjun with a smile.

"Alright, alright! Teacher, since you’ve said so! Let’s do it your way then!"

Gao Jianjun barely held back his laughter and nodded at Xiao Yifei.

"Okay then, let’s get started. We’ll play by the 3v3 rules, twelve minutes and see who has the higher score at the end."

Gao Jianjun could barely contain himself and laughed out loud, "The three of you, against the five of us!"

Xiao Yifei nodded at Gao Jianjun and then said, "So, starting with the ball for us shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Gao Jianjun, not caring at all, waved his hand and said, "Sure! You guys start with the ball, no problem!"

After saying this, he turned around and looked at the four sports college students standing behind him, his face unable to suppress a smile. "Don’t be polite, thrash them good!"

Having seen Xiao Yifei’s foolish act, the four sports college students were already bursting with laughter. They nodded at Gao Jianjun and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, boss Gao, we won’t hold back. We’ll crush them to dust!"

Of course, Xiao Yifei wouldn’t know what Gao Jianjun and his friends were saying. He picked up the basketball from Wu Dahua, bounced it on the ground, and finding it to his liking, he walked to the center circle ready to start the game.

At that moment, Gu Teng, feeling a little unsure, asked, "Teacher Xiao, can we really win? Like you said earlier, if we lose, seeing them later, we’ll have to dodge far away, how embarrassing!"

"Of course we can! Don’t you trust me?"

Xiao Yifei smiled at him. "Get ready properly; we’re about to start."

On the other side, it was evident that Gao Jianjun’s group of five wasn’t relaxing at all. Facing Xiao Yifei’s group of three about to serve, they surprisingly set up the ’2-3 zone defense’ usually used for full-court plays.

This made the already slightly crowded inner court even more congested. The onlookers watching the game shook their heads at the scene. Without even thinking, one could imagine how intense the defense Xiao Yifei and his team would face when attempting to score!

How could Xiao Yifei and his two teammates possibly win?

However, Xiao Yifei didn’t care that much. He stood at the center circle and threw the ball to Wu Dahua.

The game had begun.

Wu Dahua, a bit nervous after receiving the pass from Xiao Yifei, dribbled the ball. He spotted an opening and quickly passed it to Gu Teng. Gu Teng, upon receiving Wu Dahua’s pass and seeing so many people in the paint, nervously took the shot, but the basketball bounced off the rim.

It didn’t go in!

"Hahaha."

Seeing how simple Gu Teng and Wu Dahua’s approach to offense was, and witnessing their poor coordination, the spectators burst out laughing.

"Tsk—"

Not just the audience, but Gao Jianjun, after leaping up to catch the rebound, also sported a disdainful smile on his face. With their terrible skills and performance, what were they playing at!

With a mocking smile on his face, Gao Jianjun dribbled beyond the three-point line. Xiao Yifei and his teammates, facing five opponents, couldn’t even manage basic man-to-man defense, allowing Gao Jianjun to easily dribble back within the three-point line and execute a slick, quick stop jump shot.
