Chapter 94 One's Own Power
Coach Sun shouted from the sidelines, "Use your height! Lob the ball to the center forward!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Wu lobbed the ball to Li Rengang, who received it in the low post, turned his back, and drove in, but the opposing center was blocking him tightly.
He flipped over and hooked the ball, which grazed the rim and went wide. The opposing team grabbed the rebound and launched another fast break. Liu Chuanfeng received the ball and made a layup. Less than a minute into the game, it was 7-0.
The stands at the vocational college erupted in chaos again.
"Lu Da Lu Da! Seven to zero!"
The drums were deafening, and the inflatable batons were banged like firecrackers.
Coach Sun called a timeout. He gathered the players together and said in a low voice, "Concentrate, play high and strong. Chen Weidong, run to the open corner, Wang Lei and Zhao Xiaopeng, watch the rebounds. Our only advantage is Li Rengang's height."
Li Rengang tossed the towel onto the chair. "Coach, let's bring Lin Ran on." Chen Weidong nodded in agreement, "Coach, Lin Ran is really good, better than me."
Coach Sun glanced at Lin Ran. Lin Ran was standing to the side, twirling a ball in her hand. "You really didn't join the basketball team on impulse because of Su Peixue?"
"Of course."
Lin Ran spoke frankly and directly.
Coach Sun's lips twitched. He took a deep breath and slammed the tactics board onto the chair.
"You'll replace Chen Weidong. The tactics remain the same; you'll move around the perimeter and shoot when you're open."
The referee blew his whistle, and the game continued.
When Lin Ran walked onto the field, He Biqiong and Fang Xun stood up from the stands.
Fang Xun cupped his hands around his mouth: "Go for it, boss!"
He Biqiong chimed in, "Protect the boss's wife!"
The ten part-time senior students at the incubation base also joined in the shouting, their voices not loud, but they stood out particularly well at Luda University.
Upon hearing the word "boss," some of the students nearby began to whisper among themselves.
What boss?
Which boss lady?
Guo Wu teed off, looking for Lin Ran.
Coach Sun shouted "Lob ball!" from the sidelines!
Guo Wu, as if by muscle memory, habitually lobbed the ball to Li Rengang.
Li Rengang received the ball in the low post, and the opposing team immediately double-teamed him, trapping him on the baseline. He searched for Lin Ran through the gaps in the defense but couldn't find space to pass the ball, so he could only force a hook shot, which went wide again.
Just then!
A figure rushed in from beyond the three-point line, so fast that the jersey number was almost invisible.
Lin Ran leaped half a body length past the opposing center, his feet springing off the ground as if springing up, and before anyone could react, he grabbed the rebound and slammed it into the basket!
The basketball hoop wobbled.
'Bang bang...'
The ball fell and bounced twice on the floor.
The entire stadium fell silent for half a second.
The grandstand at Luda University is packed!
After that half-second silence came an explosive cheer!
Song Yin screamed so hard her voice cracked, pounding on the railing with both hands, her ponytail flying wildly.
He Biqiong was recording with her phone, and the camera almost wobbled out of focus.
Yao Ziwen sprang up from his chair, spilling water from the mineral water bottle all over his pants without noticing, and grabbed Li Yifan's neck, shaking him vigorously.
"Holy crap!! Did you see that?! A putback dunk! Old Lin's putback dunk!"
Li Yifan looked on with envy!
Dunking in front of so many girls, is there anything more satisfying than showing off? Wei Min stood to the side and said softly, "Ran-ge is so awesome," but her voice was completely drowned out by the cheers around her.
Guo Wu stared, mouth agape. He had thought Lin Ran was only three-tenths accurate. Now he knew it wasn't a matter of accuracy; this person was omnipotent.
Cai Yiheng stared wide-eyed from the stands.
Just now, Lin Ran rushed in from the outside to dunk. In addition to his jumping ability, he also had speed. The explosive power he displayed at that moment was nothing like that of a freshman!
Zhou Bing'an laughed out loud, picked up his teacup, and took a big gulp. "Good! Good!"
It's Lin Ran again. This freshman has given us so many surprises.
Liu Chuanfeng wiped the sweat from his brow, and his gaze toward Lin Ran changed.
He can dunk, but that's without any contact. How powerful must his jump be to make a flying putback dunk like that?
Lin Ran served as the captain of the basketball team for two and a half years in his previous life. He was 185 cm tall and had a good jumping ability, so he was able to dunk.
Moreover, his abilities in all aspects have been improved after his rebirth.
Onion Head served from the baseline, and Lin Ran stood in front of him with his arms outstretched, blocking most of the serve's trajectory.
Onion Head was still shaken; it was this very person who had just slammed the ball into the basket over his head!
He hesitated for a moment, and as a result, his release was a fraction of a second too slow. Lin Ran reached out and snatched the ball, landed, jumped, and made a layup. He scored two more points.
The stands at Luda University erupted in cheers again. This time, the chants had changed; instead of "Go Luda University!", they were chanting "Lin Ran! Lin Ran!" wave after wave!
Liu Chuanfeng shouted at Onion Head, "Focus! Don't let this kid steal your thunder!"
The vocational college serves again, and Liu Chuanfeng personally dribbles the ball across the half-court.
He faced off against Lin Ran at the top of the arc, lowered his center of gravity, took a step forward with his right foot, pushed off with his left foot, and broke through to the left with a change of rhythm.
He had gotten half a body length past Lin Ran, already planning his finishing move under the basket. Then he jumped and shot…
A dark shadow flew in from the side!
Not a replacement player!
It's Lin Ran again!
After being beaten, he didn't stop but chased after Liu Chuanfeng from behind. Just as the ball left his hand, he slapped it out of bounds.
Hot pot lid!
Guo Wu on the field roared, and towels were being flung around the bench.
Lin Ran gained possession of the ball and immediately sprinted back to the top of the opponent's arc.
Liu Chuanfeng was still chasing behind when Onion Head came up from the side to catch up.
Lin Ran stopped abruptly, jumped, and launched a three-pointer.
The ball arced through the air and swished through the net.
Seven to seven.
In less than a minute, Lin Ran scored seven points!
The vocational school coach called a timeout.
The stands on the Luda side were no longer cheering, they were celebrating.
Song Yin led the shout of "Lin Ran!" and the people behind her followed with "Awesome!"
A bunch of girls spontaneously became Lin Ran's cheerleaders.
The rhythm was exactly the same as when the vocational college was chanting for Liu Chuanfeng, but the voices were louder, there were more people, and the whole gymnasium was resonating!
The girl in white silk sat obediently in the stands, her almond-shaped eyes curving into crescents.
The owner is awesome!
Wang Haochen sat in the stands, his face turning green.
Is Lin Ran even human? He won four gold medals in running, and he's this good at basketball too?
If you're so good at sports, go to a sports school! Did you come to Lushan University just to embarrass me?
Cai Yiheng's expression was off. What on earth is this kid doing?
All-around athlete?
Where did Lu Da get such a gem?
Zhou Bing'an stood up excitedly!
He saw the Magic Book GG playing on the big screen by the stadium. He had heard Duan Chengye mention it before, and that Lin Ran was the one who ran the errand.
Later, the magic book became a sensation throughout the school, and he knew it was Lin Ran's doing. He originally wanted to observe it further, since freshmen starting businesses are bound to have their popularity rise and fall quickly. But now he didn't want to observe anymore.
He made a decision. After the basketball game, he would have the computer science department organize a content development competition, and the winner would receive support from the university.
The developed app will be prominently displayed on the bulletin boards of all dormitories and the LED screens of the cafeteria for a semester, along with download QR codes. With the help of clubs and the student union, it will be promoted extensively throughout the campus.
This competition was designed specifically for Lin Ran.
No other app can surpass Magic Book, so this provides support without giving anyone cause for criticism.
The resources of a key provincial university, with tens of thousands of students and countless exposures every day, cannot be bought with money.
As long as the basketball game isn't lost too badly, it's fine!
Winning would be ideal. But with Lin Ran as the only scorer, can they really succeed?
