Chapter 179: The Collapsed Basketball Hoop!
"Lin Tian?" Hearing Lin Tian's voice behind her, Bu Mengting was startled for a moment and then revealed a hint of surprise on her face.
Wang Bin looked at Lin Tian with a bit of astonishment; he hadn't expected someone to actually step forward.
And this person was indeed Bu Mengting's boyfriend.
Staring somewhat blankly at Lin Tian, Wang Bin turned to Bu Mengting in amazement and asked, "Is this really your boyfriend?"
"What's wrong?" Hearing the skepticism in Wang Bin's tone, Bu Mengting became unhappy, held Lin Tian's hand tighter and looked at him with displeasure.
"Uh, nothing. I just didn't expect it," Wang Bin said somewhat awkwardly. He had not thought Bu Mengting had a boyfriend, because his inquiries had suggested she didn't have one.
However, thinking of something, Wang Bin looked Lin Tian up and down with a hint of suspicion: "Do you play basketball?"
"Not bad, I guess!" Lin Tian said indifferently.
"Mengting says you're really good at basketball, and that you can even dunk?" Wang Bin looked at Lin Tian with a face full of doubt.
Upon hearing Wang Bin's words, Lin Tian's face immediately darkened as he frowned at him, saying somewhat rudely, "Don't call her that, alright? Is Mengting somebody you can just call by name? Besides, what does it matter to you whether I dunk or not?"
After hearing Lin Tian's blunt words, Wang Bin couldn't bother to play the gentleman anymore and sneered, "She isn't your wife, why can't I call her? I'm interested in pursuing her!"
"Who likes you? Wishful thinking!" Bu Mengting huffed angrily upon hearing Wang Bin's words, and gave him a fierce glare.
"Whether you like me or not is your business, but pursuing you is my business," Wang Bin said earnestly as he looked at Bu Mengting.
"You..." Bu Mengting looked at him, fuming with anger; she had never encountered someone so shameless.
"Heh..." Lin Tian chuckled, at a loss for words. He wondered if he should just beat the guy up, to put him in his place and teach him a lesson about overstepping.
Hearing Lin Tian's chuckle, Wang Bin turned his head, looked Lin Tian up and down, and laughed, "I heard you're great at dunking? How about you show off a little bit and open my eyes?"
Despite saying this, the sarcasm in Wang Bin's tone was clear to everyone.
Glancing at him, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Brother hasn't played basketball in many years, but since you are so eager to see, I might as well satisfy your curiosity."
With that, Lin Tian hooked his foot around a red basketball that wasn't far away and flicked it up.
With the basketball in hand, Lin Tian headed towards the court.
Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Bin's eyes flickered, and he quickly walked over to the basketball court. Clapping his hands to get everyone's attention, he shouted to the surrounding students, "Quiet down, everyone! A dunking master is about to show us a dunk. He's a genuine dunking expert, and he said himself, his dunking will utterly defeat mine!"
"What?"
"A dunk? Who is it?"
"Him?" Soon, many people turned their gaze towards Lin Tian.
"He's going to dunk? No way, how tall is he? Not even 1.8 meters, right?"
"Definitely under 1.8 meters. Can he even dunk at that height?" Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
"And he can outdo the dunking Divine King Wang Bin? Really?" A chorus of speculative murmurs rose from the crowd.
Hearing the murmurs around him, Wang Bin smiled subtly; this was the effect he desired.
He didn't believe Lin Tian could dunk at all; even if he could, it would likely be a struggle. Wang Bin wanted to stir up the hype so that if Lin Tian couldn't even manage a dunk, it would leave him embarrassed.
Then, when he performed an explosive dunk himself, he would surely impress Bu Mengting and show his affection!
Lin Tian, of course, was aware of Wang Bin's intentions.
After giving him a glance, Lin Tian let out a cold laugh, "Humph, you're probably going to be disappointed this time."
With the basketball in hand, Lin Tian stopped five meters outside the three-point line.
Lin Tian looked up at the basket.
Noticing Lin Tian's actions, everyone around went silent, all eyes on Lin Tian. They knew he was about to begin.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian broke into a quick run-up.
His foot kicked off the ground and Lin Tian's body soared into the air!
Seeing where Lin Tian had jumped from, everyone was stunned, their eyes wide open.
The three-point line!
Lin Tian had actually taken off from the three-point line!
This...
All watchers were astounded by the sight!
Who else dunks starting from beyond the three-point line?
Could he actually fly?
Everyone wore a look of complete astonishment.
Wang Bin was also taken aback, and then a hint of mockery flashed across his face.
Jumped from the three-point line?
Are they crazy?
Even in the NBA, I've never heard of anyone jumping from the three-point line! Jumping from the two-point line is already pretty awesome!
This **** actually jumped from the three-point line!
Wang Bin waited to see Lin Tian make a fool of himself!
But then, Wang Bin was stunned.
Wang Bin looked up blankly at Lin Tian with his head tilted back.
Fly!
Fly!
Lin Tian's body soared higher and higher!
After jumping from beyond the three-point line, Lin Tian's body took off, gliding a distance, and instead of falling to the ground, he flew even higher, zooming straight for the basket.
"So high..." Someone muttered while looking up.
High!
Lin Tian jumped so high, it was like he had springs under his feet.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a fierce whooshing sound, Lin Tian's body spun around 360 degrees, then grabbed the basketball and slammed it violently into the hoop!
Roar!
Bang!
With a loud noise, the hoop shook violently.
Creak~!
Suddenly, the entire basketball stand began to wobble.
Creak~!
Slowly, the whole basketball stand started to topple over.
"Ah, it's falling down!" A shocked cry came from the crowd.
Holding onto the hoop and seeing the basketball stand slowly begin to fall, Lin Tian let go and quickly dodged.
Bang!
The moment Lin Tian moved aside, the entire basketball stand fell to the ground.
After glancing at the basketball crushed under the stand, Lin Tian clapped his hands and walked up to Wang Bin with a smile, saying cheerfully, "How about that..."
"..." Wang Bin couldn't say anything, staring at Lin Tian as if he had seen a monster.
Freak!
Such a freak!
It wasn't just Wang Bin, the other onlooking students also stared at Lin Tian with a shocked expression, their looks akin to seeing some rare animal.
He actually brought down the basketball stand, that's too exaggerated!
At the same time, an electronic synthesized voice rang in Lin Tian's mind, "Task, fulfilling Bu Mengting's wish to dunk in a cool way and teach Wang Bin a lesson is completed. Reward: one Supernatural Point."
Hearing this electronic synthesized voice, Lin Tian's eyes lit up and swept towards Bu Mengting. She too was visibly shocked, clearly stunned by Lin Tian's dunk.
With a slight smile, Lin Tian walked over, patted her little head, and said, "Let's go!"
"Ah? Oh!" Startled, Bu Mengting then nodded and followed with a sound.
"Let's go!" Immediately after, Lin Tian took Bu Mengting's hand and left.
After Lin Tian left, a wave of admiration spread through the venue.
"Damn! That's so badass! He brought down the basketball hoop!"
"The hoop must not have been very sturdy," someone argued.
"Not being sturdy but still being able to bring it down is impressive, why don't you give it a try?" another person retorted sarcastically.
"Badass..."
In any case, all kinds of flattering voices were the main chorus.
And looking at the fallen basketball stand, Wang Bin was speechless. He was truly stunned by Lin Tian's dunk.
