"Who is he? He's quite handsome."
"I don’t know! But he definitely can’t beat Lin Chen! Go Lin Chen! Crush them!"
A group of girls outside the court were already shouting at the top of their lungs.
Lin Chen, with his cold and handsome appearance, exuded the aura of an icy heartthrob. Combined with his jaw-dropping basketball skills, he had completely overshadowed Wang Xuefeng, becoming the new basketball court idol.
In the blink of an eye, he had won the hearts of countless girls on the sidelines.
"Let’s begin!"
An Yi said.
Qin Shan, Liu Dachao, and Bai Xiu quickly spread out to their positions.
The moment the basketball was tossed into the air!
Qin Shan, with his towering height of 1.95 meters, leaped up and snatched the ball, swiftly passing it to Liu Dachao.
This move alone left Wang Xuefeng in awe.
He had a keen eye—this man, who looked like a gorilla, actually possessed such explosive power and jumping ability. He was undoubtedly center material!
Liu Dachao caught the ball, a mischievous grin spreading across his face as he flicked the ball from his arm.
His motion was smooth and natural, and the speed was incredible!
Everyone on the court was fooled by his fake move, including Wang Xuefeng, who had no idea where the ball had gone!
But Lin Chen wasn’t fooled. Like lightning, he intercepted the ball mid-pass from Liu Dachao to Bai Xiu.
"Damn, no way! How did he do that?"
Liu Dachao adjusted his black-framed glasses, his small eyes blinking rapidly, utterly stunned.
As the point guard, he wasn’t just for show. That passing move was his signature skill, yet Lin Chen had effortlessly broken through it.
"Child’s play!"
Lin Chen glanced at Liu Dachao with indifference.
An ordinary person might have fallen for it, but trying to fool him? Too naive!
Lin Chen held the ball, ready to shoot!
Suddenly, he froze in shock… where was the ball?
Lin Chen turned around.
Sure enough, the ball was now in An Yi’s hands, who had taken it without a sound.
Impossible!
How did he…
Lin Chen’s expression darkened.
He hadn’t even noticed how An Yi had stolen the ball.
Everyone watched as the ball appeared in An Yi’s hands, their faces filled with astonishment.
"What just happened? How did the ball get there?"
"Is he performing magic or something?"
"This is insane!"
The entire court was stunned by An Yi’s godly move.
From the start, Lin Chen had been seen as an invincible basketball god on the court.
Even Wang Xuefeng, the captain of the school team, had been thoroughly defeated by him!
Yet, this newcomer had effortlessly stolen the ball from Lin Chen, instantly adding an air of mystery to An Yi in the eyes of the spectators.
Wang Xuefeng was equally amazed.
This wasn’t the first time he had witnessed An Yi’s miraculous steals.
But every time, it still left him in awe.
Qin Yao was so excited that she stood up, her gaze toward An Yi completely changed.
This guy was even more impressive than she had imagined—a true hidden gem.
An Yi dribbled the ball, a smirk playing on his lips.
His ability to steal the ball from Lin Chen without anyone noticing was all thanks to his system skill, [Cloud-Stealing Hand]!
He had several system skills, but An Yi favored [Cloud-Stealing Hand] the most, having leveled it up to Lv4!
The higher the skill level, the more Evil Power Value it required.
At Lv4, in the eyes of ordinary people, it was practically the skill of a divine thief.
Stealing was stealing, whether it was objects or a basketball!
It was with this skill that An Yi dominated the court and even made some extra cash playing streetball.
After stealing the ball with [Cloud-Stealing Hand], An Yi noticed two blue team players closing in on him, so he casually passed the ball to Bai Xiu: "Old Bai, take the shot."
Bai Xiu, yawning, caught the ball and muttered softly, "Skill, Precision…"
Whoosh!
Without even looking at the basket, he released the ball.
The trajectory was off!
Lin Chen, Wang Xuefeng, and other seasoned players immediately noticed the ball’s path was wrong.
Sure enough!
The ball hit the backboard, bouncing off the rim of the hoop.
Once, twice…
Swish!
The score: 2:36.
"Holy crap, that actually went in!"
"Pure luck, that’s all."
After Bai Xiu’s shot, the crowd erupted in murmurs.
The shot was completely ridiculous—a total fluke. It couldn’t compare to Lin Chen’s clean swishes.
Next, the blue team launched their offense.
After a few passes, the ball ended up in Lin Chen’s hands again. This time, he didn’t dribble but went straight for a shot.
From the three-point line!
If this went in, the score would widen even further.
Qin Shan, with his towering frame, rushed forward, using his height to block Lin Chen’s shot.
At 1.85 meters, Lin Chen was no match for Qin Shan’s 1.95 meters. In basketball, those extra 10 centimeters made all the difference.
But against Lin Chen, it didn’t seem to matter.
He leaned back strategically and released the ball with a smooth motion.
Slap!
Just then, a hand seemed to have been waiting, swiftly snatching the ball right in front of him.
Another steal!
Lin Chen’s eyes turned icy as he pushed himself up from the ground, glaring at An Yi, who now held the ball firmly.
This guy…
Without hesitation, An Yi passed the ball to Bai Xiu again.
Bai Xiu, true to form, didn’t disappoint!
It was like a replay of the first shot—the ball rolled around the rim before finally dropping in.
No way!
Someone in the crowd couldn’t help but curse.
Did this guy sacrifice his little brother or something? How was he so lucky?
The score: 4:36!
"Hey, what’s wrong with you guys? Can’t even guard one person!"
"Don’t blame me! Who knew he’d get past us like that?"
The blue team players started arguing, making themselves look incompetent.
Wang Xuefeng chuckled. Even though he hadn’t done much, he was still part of the team.
This money was well spent!
"Enough!"
Lin Chen’s voice was cold as he commanded, "One of you guard that yawning guy, and the other three focus on the ball thief. Let’s keep going!"
His strategy was spot-on.
Bai Xiu’s luck was unnaturally good, and since An Yi was so confident in passing to him, there had to be something fishy about it.
As for An Yi, this guy’s steals were almost supernatural.
But if they could lock him down, he wouldn’t be able to do much!
Lin Chen’s tactics were undeniably effective, quickly identifying An Yi as the key player influencing the game.
With three players guarding An Yi, forming a human wall, he was completely immobilized.
As for Qin Shan, Liu Dachao, and Wang Xuefeng, they were no match for Lin Chen.
At the midcourt line, Liu Dachao dribbled, executing a tricky pass that bypassed Lin Chen and landed in Wang Xuefeng’s hands.
The moment Wang Xuefeng caught the ball, he felt a surge of adrenaline.
Without a second thought, he went for the shot!
A dark shadow appeared, and a brutal block sent the ball flying again!
"Damn it!"
Wang Xuefeng was so frustrated he wanted to scream.
What was wrong with letting him take a shot?
Liu Dachao, with his long arms, sprinted to save the ball from going out of bounds and tossed it to An Yi, who was surrounded by three players under the basket: "Yi, catch it!"
"Dream on!"
The three blue team players sneered.
But then… their smiles froze.
An Yi moved like lightning, his speed rivaling Lin Chen’s, as he broke through the triple defense, leaped into the air, and grabbed the ball with one hand!
Slam!
A powerful dunk! An Yi slammed the ball into the hoop!
The entire court fell silent.
