Chapter 239
The player sent by the provincial experiment to participate in the jump ball was Xu Kai. Su Miao offered to the team to replace the jump ball player. He wanted to replace Chen Xin to go to the jump ball.

He wanted to fight Xu Kai to the death from the beginning.

"I'm fine." Chen Xin already knew the grievances between the two, so he gave up the right to jump the ball.

This is the first time since Chen Xin joined the team that he did not participate in the jump ball. Before that, all the jump balls he participated in won the ball for Sanzhong.

The starting players of the two teams entered the field, and Su Miao and Xu Kai stepped into the jumping circle.

"Just because of your once disabled leg, why are you arguing with me?" Xu Kai glanced at the clearly visible scar on Su Miao's knee, his attitude was very disdainful, and he didn't take Su Miao seriously at all.

Injury will inevitably have a certain impact on the player's strength. Even if it has recovered, it is difficult for the injured player to return to the state before the injury, especially for such an important joint as the knee, the impact of the injury is even more obvious.

"If you don't try, how will you know." Su Miao pretended to be calm, but how could he be calm when he saw Xu Kai? On the surface, it looked calm, but in fact, the tide was already raging.

"I don't mind crippling you again." Xu Kai's face darkened instantly, and he said maliciously, "See how you play in the future."

That kind of expression is simply a lingering nightmare for Su Miao. Su Miao deliberately avoids it, but that face has already been deeply imprinted in her mind, and the more she avoids it, the clearer it becomes.

"Captain, captain." Mu Chenfeng shouted from behind, and then pulled Su Miao back from the past, "Why don't you change Chen Xin's jump ball." Su Miao's current state is not suitable for jump balls, and he can't even concentrate on the game.

Su Miao made up her mind, "No, I'll do it."

The two stood still in the middle circle, with their right hands crossed in the air, seemingly calm, but they were already working hard secretly, not giving in to each other, and both of them were determined to win this goal.

The knees were slightly bent, the center of gravity slowly sank, and the calf swelled up like a dynamite bag, full of strength, just waiting for the referee to announce the start of the game.

The referee placed the basketball fairly between the two, and the two pairs of eyes stared straight at the basketball.

Su Miao's throat grumbled. It's been a long time since she jumped the ball, and the first time she came up was to jump the ball with Xu Kai, which inevitably made Su Miao a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, just jump, I will be aboveboard." Xu Kai said coldly.

The four words of being upright and aboveboard came out of Xu Kai's mouth with a creepy feeling. Instead of reassuring Su Miao, it made him more cautious, for fear of being plotted against by Xu Kai.

There is a fatal link in the jump ball. As long as you make a black hand at that time, you will be 100% successful, and the consequences are extremely serious. That is, when the player is about to land, if you step on the foot when the player lands, it is easy to cause serious sprains.

Xu Kai can do anything, he said that he will be aboveboard, only ghosts believe it.

beep~
The whistle sounded and the game officially started. The referee threw the ball vigorously, and the basketball flew into the air along the straight upward throw line.

Su Miao was the first to take off and Xu Kai was later. Seeing this situation, Su Miao's heart skipped a beat. Xu Kai really had a problem, so Su Miao forcibly adjusted her body position in the air and lowered her height to avoid stepping on her feet.

Xu Kai's mouth raised a strange smile, "I said I would be fair and aboveboard." Xu Kai didn't step on his feet, but took off to fight for the ball. His take-off height was obviously higher than Su Miao's, and his bounce speed was also faster. Although Su Miao took off before Xu Kai, the opponent grabbed the basketball first. With a light swipe, he passed the ball to his teammate.

Su Miao fell to the ground with a dull expression. It turned out that this was a jump ball trap set by Xu Kai. He deliberately created the illusion that he wanted to "play a black hand", which aroused Su Miao's doubts and asked him to hold back when jumping the ball to avoid injury, and then "fairly" grabbed the ball.

Su Miao's failure to jump the ball made his teammates a little worried about Su Miao. This not only affected his game state, but also caused a great blow to his self-confidence.

Originally, Su Miao was at an obvious psychological disadvantage in the matchup with Xu Kai, but this ball even widened the gap between the two. Xu Kai is like a bomb hidden beside Su Miao, which may detonate at any time.

"What are you staring at?" With a whoosh, the basketball passed by Su Miao's ear, and Xu Kai passed a pass across the half court, which precisely landed in the hands of his fast-break teammate.

"Defend quickly!" Su Miao's first reaction was to return to the defense, but with his speed it was impossible to keep up with the speed of the fast break, so he asked his teammates to return to the defense quickly.

Mu Chenfeng and Ye Lin were the fastest to return to defense, and they formed a defensive barrier to block the offensive line of the offensive players.

"Don't try to succeed."

In the case of two-person defense, most people will change the rhythm to confuse the opponent's defensive formation or pass the ball to the teammate who followed up. However, the provincial defender did not make any of the above choices. Instead, he forcibly used his body to open the way and continued to break through along a straight breakthrough line.

This is obviously an offensive choice that only laymen would make. Mu Chenfeng and Ye Lin are both defensive experts. It is obviously not wise to forcefully challenge these two people.

However, the opponent will really do this, and it is one against two.

"What are you doing? I thought it was so powerful." Mu Chenfeng didn't use much effort to suppress the opponent's speed, while Ye Lin was looking for an opportunity to steal from the other side.

"Just you two?"

"You have no chance." Mu Chenfeng said coldly, spreading out his arms, blocking all the opponent's attacking space.

"That's not necessarily the case." The other party slowly leaned towards Mu Chenfeng, and then a sharp pain hit from Mu Chenfeng's ribs, and instantly spread throughout his body. Mu Chenfeng flinched instinctively, losing his defensive position.

The opponent scored an easy layup.

Everyone looked astonished. It was obvious that Mu Chenfeng had just stood in the best defensive position, but why did he give up his position inexplicably.

"What's going on?" Ye Lin asked.

"This guy poked my ribs." Mu Chenfeng said enduring the severe pain. It took a long time to get over being poked in the ribs.

"Poke the ribs?" Ye Lin was stunned, he was only less than one meter away from the two of them, but he didn't notice it at all.

The opponent's little tricks were already concealed enough to hide it from the sky. Ye Lin couldn't see it so close, and it was even more impossible for the referee to see it.

"So Xu Kai is not the only one who played dirty in the provincial experiment." Ye Lin guessed.

"Maybe the whole team is." Mu Chenfeng's guess is even more exaggerated. Judging from the performance of the ball just now, this kind of guess is not impossible.

"Your teammate is not very good, so he was passed so easily." Xu Kai mocked.

The defensive ability of Mu Chenfeng and Ye Lin is one of the best in the team, and just now they defend together, there is no reason why they will be passed, the only explanation is that the provincial experiment used disgraceful means.

"I didn't expect you to lose your composure so soon." Su Miao collected herself, "The competition has just begun."

"Now we are leading, and we will keep leading until the end of the game." Xu Kai is very inflated. He understands how strong the No. [-] Middle School is, but he also knows how dirty his teammates are. They are born to destroy basketball.

"Hold the ball inside later, and I'll get the points back," Su Miao said.

"Are you sure you want to play inside?" Li Yao was puzzled. It is well known that No. [-] Middle School has a very strong inside line, so the starting lineup sent by the provincial experiment for this battle is an extremely rare lineup of three insiders.

Throwing the ball inside is tantamount to sending a sheep into the mouth of a tiger.

"Listen to the captain." When he was struggling, Mu Chenfeng stood up and made a decision, "We have to trust him."

At this moment, what Su Miao needs most is the support from his teammates, not doubts.

"I agree." Ye Lin also chose to stand behind Su Miao and support him.

"Okay." Li Yao finally compromised.

The three inside players in the provincial experiment are all at the crushing level in terms of strength. It can be seen from their body shapes that each of them is extremely strong. With a standard rugby body, Su Miao looks weak when standing among them.

However, Su Miao is not the only one inside the third middle school. Chen Xin's strength is not inferior to any player in the provincial experiment. With Chen Xin's help, Su Miao was in an excellent position. Li Yao had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately gave the ball in.

In an instant, all the players from the provincial experiment swarmed in, trapping Su Miao in the center, and there was no room for him to return the ball.

"Five against one, this is too bullying." Feng Chuang was so angry that he almost rushed into the field.

"This is not bullying, it's called tactics." Fang Tianzheng said slowly, "They want to use this extreme method to completely attack Su Miao's self-confidence, making him unable to perform throughout the game."

Five defenses against one, Su Miao was firmly trapped like a trapped animal, not only that, but he also had to be on guard against the opponent's "black hands" all the time, this kind of scuffle scene was the most suitable time to strike.

During the chaotic battle, Su Miao's injured knee suddenly softened, her body lost her balance, and she fell to the ground. The provincial experiment team took advantage of the chaos to control the ball.

"Damn it." Su Miao fell to the ground and clutched her knee in pain. During the chaotic battle, a team member from the provincial experiment touched his knee, but it was hard to say it was unintentional.

The third middle school immediately applied for a timeout, and his teammates helped Su Miao back to the sidelines.

After inspection, Su Miao's knee was fine, and the impacted part was only the side of the knee, not the front. The reason why Su Miao appeared in such pain should be that he cared too much about the knee injury, and the first reaction after the impact was the old injury.

Su Miao kept saying that it was over, but how could such a serious trauma just pass away.

The only way for Su Miao to completely get rid of the shadow caused by the past is to defeat the provincial experiment. Su Miao personally defeated Xu Kai, and the lingering shadow will completely disappear from Su Miao's heart.
