Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 113: How come you didn’t cheer me on?

Pu Sangzhi and Huo Mingshan had never expected that Huo Feng, the school tyrant who scared the entire student body to death, could actually... have such high popularity!

Huo Feng’s class team wasn’t the first to enter the game, so, the obvious difference was that as soon as Huo Feng’s team appeared on the court, the entire gymnasium erupted with thunderous applause and screams!

Inside the arena, most of the girls were screaming at the top of their lungs, many of them going hoarse.

This scene stunned Pu Sangzhi and Huo Mingshan.

You see, Pu Sangzhi had never had a good opinion of Huo Feng.

What’s more, Huo Mingshan had never taken Huo Feng seriously for over a decade.

This pair of teacher and student harbored bias deep in their hearts against Huo Feng, so when they saw his high popularity, they were momentarily illusioned, hallucinated, as if their cognition had been twisted, their values shattered, waiting to be rebuilt...

"Woo! Brother Feng, go for it! You’re the coolest, Brother Feng!"

Next to Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan screamed like a banshee, her deafening shrieks leaving Pu Sangzhi’s brain completely blank.

Huo Feng, leading his ten minions, swaggered to the basketball hoop on the right, stretching his arms out for a simple warm-up while simultaneously discussing tactics with them.

Once on the court, he was so focused that his eyebrows knitted together tightly, radiating an overwhelming aura and a full dose of charisma.

"Look, look... how cool Brother Feng is."

Zhu Dandan nudged Pu Sangzhi with her elbow and hinted, whether intentionally or not, "Do you believe that more than half of the girls here have fantasized about dating Brother Feng?"

Pu Sangzhi touched the elbow Zhu Dandan had nudged and retorted without much interest, "What’s that got to do with me."

Zhu Dandan, not pleased with Pu Sangzhi’s flat response, poked her arm again as a reminder, "Classmate Pu, I suggest you take a look at Wen Miao next to you. She’s been fantasizing about Brother Feng inheriting her family’s martial arts gym!"

Upon hearing Zhu Dandan’s words, Pu Sangzhi turned to the other side, taking a glance at Wen Miao.

What she saw made her jump!

Without exaggeration, Wen Miao’s face had a silly, lovestruck smile plastered on it.

"See..."

Zhu Dandan whispered into Pu Sangzhi’s ear, "Wen Miao is waiting for you to dump Brother Feng so she can pick him up to be the master of her martial arts gym."

At this, Pu Sangzhi was at a loss for words.

By the time Pu Sangzhi and Zhu Dandan finished their talk, Huo Feng’s team had already been selected as their opponent through a draw by the school leaders...

Unexpectedly, their rival class turned out to be none other than Class 1 of the first year, where Pu Sangzhi belonged!

It was the kind of awkward situation that Pu Sangzhi thought had a particularly small chance of occurring, yet it had just been predicted by Huo Feng!

As the 12 boys from their own class walked onto the field, Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, Wen Miao, along with others like Huo Mingshan and Wu Beilei in the audience, all went pale!

At the same time, Huo Feng and his gang had immediately recognized the rival class.

The moment he recognized them, the corner of Huo Feng’s mouth curled into a mocking smile. He turned his head and stared piercingly at Pu Sangzhi!

Their gazes met in the air, and in that instant, Pu Sangzhi understood the meaning behind his stare.

She knew Huo Feng was asking her, "What do you think? Who will you support?"

That question, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t answer with a mere gaze.

So it was left unresolved.

Soon, the basketball game officially began!

A basketball match involves 5 players at a time, with the remaining players as substitutes.

Under the leadership of team captain Huo Feng, the starting five were Huo Feng, Pan Bo, Gu Yang, Lin Yuhao, and Zheng Sen, with the rest on standby!

Quickly, they took their positions on the basketball court.

In a game, you need a point guard, a shooting guard, a small forward, a power forward, and a center.

Each of them is crucial on the court, and each plays a key role.

Basketball matches are like League of Legends and Honor of Kings; it’s about teamwork, not individualism.

Perhaps a great player can set the pace for the whole team, but they definitely can’t carry a bunch of "pig teammates."

Therefore, on the court, brothers in arms are what you count on!

At the start of the match, each team picks one player to enter the center circle for the jump ball to commence.

For Huo Feng’s team, it was the high-leaping Huo Feng himself who stepped forward.

Opposite Huo Feng, the rival team sent out a lanky pole over six feet tall, Wen Miao’s deskmate, Chen Xiaokun.

To tell the truth, the first team of boys from Class 1 of the first year was low on good looks and not well-built; they didn’t even have matching uniforms, each wearing his own sports clothes.

Overall, Class 1 of the first year was far behind Huo Feng’s team in appearance.

Although the one standing in the circle with Huo Feng, Chen Xiaokun, was two centimeters taller than Huo Feng, his slim figure seemed as weak as a willow in the wind, the type Huo Feng could push over with just a nudge.

The basketball lay in the referee’s hand.

Huo Feng and Chen Xiaokun kept their eyes fixed on the ball, ready to battle.

"Whistle!"

With the sound of the referee’s whistle, the basketball was tossed high into the air, followed by the leaping figures of Huo Feng and Chen Xiaokun!

Huo Feng’s jumping ability was strong, and with this leap, he effortlessly surpassed Chen Xiaokun’s superior height by 2 centimeters, his arm stretched out to easily snatch the basketball!

The first fight for the rebound, Huo Feng succeeded!

Not only that, after landing, he only bounced the basketball twice on the spot before raising it for a throw!

From beyond the three-point line, he lofted the ball into the air!

All eyes converged to watch as the ball, which seemed to be a pass, suddenly flew into the basket!

"Wow!"

Instantly, the audience erupted into screams of excitement and a round of hearty applause!

Everyone was shocked by Huo Feng’s lightning-fast scoring, just 10 seconds into the game, he threw a three-pointer and scored! Incredibly strong!

However, those who had played basketball with Huo Feng for years knew that shooting was Huo Feng’s forte, nearly every shot was accurate. So a shot like this was no surprise to his teammates and nothing out of the ordinary.

Huo Feng, who scored the first point, quickly ran over to Pan Bo and slapped his palm, signaling he was fully engaged in the fight.

Among the team of five, Huo Feng played as the small forward.

The small forward, among the five, is responsible for scoring, scoring, and more scoring! It’s a position that requires a player known for accurate shooting.

Pan Bo, with his considerable size, played as the center on the team, primarily responsible for blocking, shot-blocking, guarding his assigned player, and providing timely defensive help to his teammates, a very exhausting yet crucial central role!

Gu Yang played as the point guard, mainly responsible for dribbling and passing the ball, a key assist player!

Lin Yuhao played as the shooting guard, a backcourt player focused on scoring, who must be proficient in perimeter shooting!

And Zheng Sen was the power forward.

In summary, they were well-allocated, highly coordinated, and moved seamlessly on the court, complementing one another beautifully!

Not long after the game started, the clear situation that could be seen was Gu Yang passing the ball, Pan Bo blocking, Huo Feng shooting, or Lin Yuhao taking perimeter shots and the like!

A distinct line of play unfolded, a match of cooperation, played out with the collaboration of the five of them.

Scores of 3 points, 2 points, 1 point... Class 1-7’s score kept rising, leaving Class 1-1 far behind.

By the end of the first half, the stands were filled with continuous screaming and applause, with the female classmates’ eyes on Huo Feng’s team practically shining with gold.

"So cool! Feng ge, you’re so cool!"

"Huo Feng! Huo Feng! Huo Feng!"

Such cheering resounded through the entire gym, stirring the heart.

Pu Sangzhi was sitting in the front row of the stands, her lips pursed, quietly watching Huo Feng.

Amid the surrounding noise and the shouted names, she didn’t ignore them.

Hearing Huo Feng’s name called by everyone in the world, Pu Sangzhi’s gaze uncontrollably fell on him.

She thought to herself that Huo Feng surely didn’t lack people cheering for him, right?

He had asked her to come just to watch him play, hadn’t he...

He won.

She had to admit, he looked handsome and attractive playing basketball.

Only 20 seconds were left before the end of the first half, and in those final 20 seconds, Pan Bo blocked an opponent’s aggressive move, seized the ball, and threw it far to Huo Feng!

When Huo Feng received the ball, only 10 seconds remained. In those last 10 seconds, he stood still, clutching the ball, and suddenly shouted, "What happened to the cheers?"

"Ah! Cheer!"

Suddenly, all the girls in the stadium screamed in unison, like a pot exploding!

The momentum overpowered the gym!

Following that, Huo Feng leaped up, once again from beyond the three-point line, and took a high shot!

The basketball was seen tracing a high parabola in midair before accurately dropping into the opponent’s basket!

The first half ended there and then.

The last three points were added to Class 1-7’s score.

One could imagine the score between Class 1-1 and Class 1-7.

The first half ended, and there was a 15-minute halftime break.

Huo Feng had a towel around his neck, opened a bottle of water, and while drinking, walked toward the front row of the spectator seats where Pu Sangzhi was sitting.

He didn’t go up to the stands but just stood below, leaning over the railing, gazing intently at Pu Sangzhi.

While the girls around were looking at Huo Feng, his eyes were fixed on Pu Sangzhi, with no intention of looking away...

His intense gaze made Pu Sangzhi a bit uneasy.

"What are you doing..." Pu Sangzhi said with a flickering gaze.

Huo Feng narrowed his eyes, his thin lips puckered, "I asked you to cheer for me, why didn’t you make a sound?"

Then, Pu Sangzhi realized, that his last shout had been directed at her.
