Start cheating from The King's Avatar

What he said before about going to the next court to play basketball with Su Lan was not just talk. After Su Lan changed into his jersey and sneakers, Ye Xiu simply took off the coat that he hadn't changed in ten years, and leaned against the stairs on the second floor in his long-sleeved sweater, still yawning.

"Old Ye, why don't you change into clothes suitable for playing basketball?" Su Lan felt like she was going to suffocate to death just by looking at the woolen turtleneck sweater on the other person.

Ye Xiu didn't take it seriously. He tugged at his collar and said, "It's just a game of ball. I can wash it when I get back."

"You actually have extra clothes?" Chen Guo, who had just changed her clothes and was about to go over to observe, said in surprise, "But I haven't seen you change your clothes!"

"Haha, I don't buy so many styles of clothes..." Ye Xiu yawned and prepared to walk out.

Before he even walked down the stairs, Su Lan grabbed his collar and pulled him back. This sudden action almost frightened Ye Xiu so much that he raised his head like a dragon, and he also sighed that the strength of a 1.8-meter-tall man should not be underestimated.

"They only have ventilation over there, not air conditioning or anything. If you get cooked, don't come back in shame." Su Lan dragged Ye Xiu back, and the latter complained helplessly about how he got cooked in the middle of winter, but he still didn't stop the other party from forcing a set of light jerseys on him.

Glancing at the clothes in his arms, Ye Xiu went back to his room and changed them while holding a lollipop in his mouth.

“Are you satisfied?” Ye Xiu walked out of the room, pulling on his loose clothes.

Tang Rou, who had also changed her clothes, came over and smiled, covering her mouth with her hands, "It looks like pajamas on you."

Ye Xiu smiled bitterly and scratched his head, while the owner of the clothes also smiled helplessly and said, "This is really the smallest piece of clothing I can find."

Su Lan is tall, and although her shoulders don't look broad, she is actually very strong. With a height of 1.86 meters, even a size M shirt looks very big on Ye Xiu.

But it wasn't as exaggerated as Tang Rou said. The trouser legs were just below the knees and the clothes looked a little fluffy.

"Hurry, hurry, we have to eat after the game." Ye Xiu didn't even touch the ball, but he already felt a little tired.

The four of them aimed at the next-door court and slowly walked towards that direction.

The front desk guy at the stadium is very familiar with Su Lan and Tang Rou. After all, the two of them come here almost every day, one to play basketball and the other to watch.

As Su Lan said, the stadium was only ventilated, with no air conditioning or heating. It was just not stuffy. If Ye Xiu was really wearing that turtleneck sweater and trousers, he might have fainted from the suffocation before he could even dribble the ball as soon as he entered.

"Can you fight?" Su Lan asked.

"I haven't played it for a few years. I played it a few times before when I was celebrating with my teammates." Ye Xiu smiled bitterly.

This topic was a bit heavy, and Su Lan quickly realized it. She immediately covered up the heavy topic with other topics. The two of them found an empty half of the court and started warming up. After the warm-up session, Ye Xiu picked up the ball and dribbled a few times as a review.

Tang Rou and Chen Guo sat down on the bench nearby. They had intended to see Ye Xiu, the Glory God who stayed behind the computer all day, make a fool of himself, but he turned out to be surprisingly skilled. He shot a few three-pointers, but except for the first one which was a little off, the rest were perfect.

Since there was no popular embarrassing moment, the two girls just started chatting.

"I'll take a break."

After a few rounds of one-on-one duels, Ye Xiu, who often stayed up late and had an irregular schedule, naturally could not beat Su Lan, who practiced every day when he had nothing to do. However, considering his weak physical fitness, he was able to score a few goals and hold on for more than 20 minutes, which was considered good.

Running to the side and sitting down, Ye Xiu stared blankly at the street outside the gate, not knowing what he was thinking.

He took out a candy from his pocket, removed the candy wrapper, and skillfully held it between his lips, then Ye Xiu let out an imperceptible sigh.

"So tired?" Su Lan took the ball and shot a three-pointer, which went through the needle with a swish.

"Excellent Era is finished." Ye Xiu said this with the same indifferent and joking tone as before, but the solemnity in his eyes could not be concealed.

Chen Guo used to be a fan of Excellent Era. At first, it might be because of the title of Fighting God and the sight of Yi Ye Zhi Qiu fighting with Mu Yu Cheng Feng on the field. But later, she was willing to support the team all the time because she really liked the team. Although Ye Xiu was not a fan, what a big difference there was. He also watched Excellent Era reach the top step by step like those ten-year old fans.

And he was the one who watched Jia Shi slowly fall from the peak.

I once thought that the three consecutive championships was just a high starting point, but I didn’t expect that it would be a downhill road and my debut was the peak.

Are the fans upset? Of course.

Ye Xiu himself felt even more uncomfortable because he was involved in the game.

"Sun Xiang is actually not bad!" Chen Guo said.

Ye Xiu smiled and said, "Haha, the team and the players are two different concepts."

It's a complicated sentence, but after thinking about it, it means that the team's decline has no direct relationship with how a player will be down and out. A declining team, no matter how outstanding a player in the team is, cannot cover up the fact that the team has lost and its strength has declined.

Excellent Era was like this - although Sun Xiang got carried away easily, who hadn't been young and frivolous before? Who in Glory hadn't been furious to show off? These were not the criteria for judging a person's future. Sun Xiang's understanding of battle mages in such a short period of time was already remarkable, and this was also the reason why Excellent Era spent a lot of money to buy him.

But as a certain tree man said, studying medicine cannot save the country, and Sun Xiang alone cannot save Excellent Era.

Sun Xiang has a bright future. Even if he leaves Jia Shi, there will definitely be a team that will recognize him. He still has the opportunity to step onto the stage and conquer the battlefield. However, if Jia Shi continues to lose, the ending will not be very good.

This has nothing to do with who the team leader is. This is a problem that cannot be solved even if Ye Xiu continues to stay in the team.

This was a problem related to the club's philosophy on the professional circle, team management, and player management. Ye Xiu had given reminders before, but was rejected many times.

So Doushen retired and Sun Xiang took his place.

But it was of no avail. Excellent Era still did not show any outstanding performance in the playoffs. If Sun Xiang became the first player to defeat three players alone this season... this still had nothing to do with the club itself. It was just a good performance of Sun Xiang on the court, not to mention that they still lost in the end.

Ye Xiu didn't waste time explaining this, but Su Lan and the others understood it.

"Jia Shi will not fall easily. Maybe one day we will win the Golden Dragon Cup again." Su Lan comforted.

“Well, let’s not talk about such a heavy topic.” Ye Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile: “Let’s play another round. If I don’t win today, I won’t eat!”

"Get out of here, get out of here! You'll die if you don't eat for three days." Su Lan said this, but he still stood inside the line and gave the right to attack to Ye Xiu.
