Chapter 8 - 008 Tiger Tank

Just as they were talking, shouts came from the court inside.

"Old Jiang, there's a spot here."

Jiang Qinghua looked carefully.

There was currently only one team on that court, just randomly shooting hoops.

Under the basketball hoop, there were also two girls sitting.

Jiang Qinghua smiled slightly.

No need to chase the ball, and there are girls watching.

Perfect.

"Let's go." He led his teammates and the fangirls over there.

But he stopped after taking only two steps.

The main reason was one of the girls.

She had been blocked by a pillar just now, so he didn't get a clear look. Now he saw, she was impressively big.

Short hair, a broad face, a tiger-like back and waist, and a tiger-like head.

Immovable like a mountain.

When she moved, she was still like a mountain.

Not good.

It was the Tiger Tank, Qiao Bixia.

"Change, change, change..." Jiang Qinghua turned around with a serious face, "The tank is on this court...we can't play here."

Liu Xin glanced at the burly girl and said, "Forget it, let's play. There are fewer people here."

"Bullshit, she's not marking you." Jiang Qinghua cursed, "Try getting steamrolled by a tank on the court."

"Next week is the official game. Aren't the people from Class Two just as tough?"

"It's different, this is soul pollution."

The two girls also glared at Liu Xin to back him up.

"Exactly, exactly."

"You go if you want."

"..." Liu Xin, shamed by the girls, instantly deflated. He scratched his head and came over to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng could tell he was pretending to be tough but was actually heartbroken.

Just as they were about to leave, a figure in a white basketball uniform and a ponytail passed by.

Slender, but not to be messed with.

Not only did the three boys here slow down, but even the people playing around seemed to slow down.

At this moment, Lin Yujing had already changed into lightweight shorts and a short-sleeved top, with big white sneakers that looked like they could help her jump higher.

She didn't see Li Zheng and the others, nor did she look at anyone. She jogged straight to the hoop inside and started stretching next to the Tiger Tank.

So they were a three-girl team.

Li Zheng was a bit confused.

How could he run into her on the basketball court?

But he quickly turned his surprise into joy.

He was in the right place!

Playing basketball!

Yes!

Liu Xin pursed his lips and said, "Oh dear, it looks like Lin Yujing is in a bad mood today and is here to punish people again."

"Punish?" Li Zheng asked, "Is she that good?"

"Super strong." Liu Xin nodded, "But she rarely comes. Usually only when she doesn't do well on exams...strange, she was first in the monthly exam..."

Hearing this, Li Zheng felt both excited and regretful.

Excited because Lin Yujing was so strong, she must play often.

It seemed playing basketball was very relaxing, and it wasn't a waste to come today.

But regretful because he hadn't started playing basketball earlier.

He even skipped PE class and morning exercises.

No wonder it always felt like twice the effort with half the result compared to Lin Yujing.

Jiang Qinghua was just as surprised.

Originally, ready to flee, he dribbled the ball through his legs and turned back.

"Forget it, let's just play here." Jiang Qinghua, dribbling behind his back, walked towards the tank's court with high spirits, "Liu Xin, you're in charge of the tank in a moment."

"Huh?"

"What huh? One-on-one defense." Jiang Qinghua arranged the tactic as he walked, "I'll match up with Lin Yujing as power forward, you're both centers in the paint area, fight it out, Li Zheng will play guard and mark that girl we don't know."

"Alright then..." Liu Xin pounded his head.

For next week's basketball game, he didn't mind the tank now; he would just grind it out.

Li Zheng also nodded in agreement, looking towards the girl they didn't know.

Short hair, round face, single eyelids, not fat or thin, very ordinary.

We can definitely get along.

After all, I'm also an unknown guy.

On the other side, by the baseline, Lin Yujing was stretching her legs energetically.

Suddenly, she stopped.

She raised her head abruptly.

"Hmm..."

Gritting her teeth, glaring, trembling slightly, she looked like someone not to be messed with.

"What's wrong, Jingjing?" Qiao Bixia squatted next to her and asked, "An enemy?"

"Hmm." Lin Yujing nodded fiercely, pointing at Li Zheng.

"Jiang Shuai or the oil drum?" Qiao Bixia stood up, straightening her tiger-like back of 1.8 meters, squinting at the approaching trio, "Doesn't matter, I'll help you take them out together."

Behind her, the ordinary girl stretching her body looked a bit worried, "Didn't we agree... to just exercise a little, no fighting."

"Hey, don't worry. It's all reasonable contact." Qiao Bixia turned back to reassure, "Just mark that unknown guy, I've never seen him before, he shouldn't be tough, perfect chance for you to practice."

"Oh..." The girl looked towards Li Zheng.

Seeing that ordinary face, which held a calm and steady demeanor, she also felt a bit reassured.

We can definitely get along.

After all, I'm also an unknown girl.

The trio entered the court arrogantly, and the two fangirls quickly set up their phones to cheer them on.

With their arrival, the court now had three teams, ready to start anytime.

After high-fiving his teammates, Jiang Qinghua went up to Lin Yujing, "You all go first, ladies first."

"Okay." Lin Yujing replied without looking at them and went onto the court with her two teammates.

But when Qiao Bixia walked past, she rammed her shoulder into Jiang Qinghua.

Fortunately, Jiang Qinghua was also strong and only staggered half a step.

"Oh, sorry, Jiang Shuai." Qiao Bixia said with a dry laugh.

"It's fine, Sister Xia, it's fine..." Jiang Qinghua pulled Liu Xin over, "This guy just said he's the best center at Lake Ying High, and that you're just a brute, no matter what I said, he insisted you have no skills, just relying on your body."

"Oh???" Qiao Bixia's tiger-like body shook, squinting at Liu Xin, her voice trembling, "Oil~ drum~, you've got guts."

"Huh? No...I didn't..."

"Say no more, see you on the court." Qiao Bixia adjusted her collar, "Today, this jersey of mine, consider it gone."

Done talking, she stepped onto the court.

Liu Xin grabbed Jiang Qinghua and cursed, "You bastard, I already agreed to mark her, was that necessary."

"Shh, shh, don't make a fuss." Jiang Qinghua then looked like a coach, staring at the court solemnly, "Watch the game, I'll arrange the tactics later."

In fact, it wasn't just Li Zheng's group watching.

Many others playing ball on the surrounding courts gathered around the girl's team.

"Is that Lin Yujing from junior year? Does she play basketball too?"

"You're inexperienced, she plays about twice a semester."

"Playing against boys? Wouldn't that look ugly?"

"Don't underestimate her, I've heard she has a hoop and coach at home and typically doesn't bother playing at school."

"Wow, those shoes! Air Jordan 11 Stardust!"

"What a waste, better to keep them at home."

The game was about to start, the boys' team was preparing to serve the ball.

The first to score 5 points wins, each basket counts as one point, three-pointers count as two.

The boys' team was made up of second-string players from Class Seven, average in skill but very determined.
