The atmosphere in the stadium brimmed with anticipation and curiosity as the game between China and Australia approached.
People were eager to see what Su Jing would bring to the basketball court and whether his presence would make a difference for the Chinese team.
Not only were the on-site spectators engaged in lively discussions, but viewers around the world watching the Live Streaming of the game were also captivated.
Some were placing bets, speculating on how long Su Jing would last on the basketball court before getting penalized, how many points he could score, how many rebounds he could grab, and how many assists he could make.
At the headquarters of the Galactic Corporation Group, Wang Zhuo, Zheng Nan, and several high-level executives had just concluded a meeting and turned on the TV in their office to watch the Live Stream of the Basketball match.
Although watching the Olympic games at the company was generally frowned upon, Wang Zhuo, Zheng Nan, and others held influential positions.
Moreover, the biggest shareholder and the Boss of the company happened to be participating in the competition, making it seem perfectly justified.
“I haven’t seen A’Jing play basketball before. I wonder if he can really perform well,” Wang Zhuo expressed his concern.
“I’m not sure either,” Zheng Nan admitted. When Su Jing asked them to investigate those attention-grabbing incidents, she thought he was going overboard. But little did she know that the real spectacle was yet to come. Su Jing had not only participated in the Tokyo Olympics but in a dozen or more events.
“President Su truly knows no bounds,” Several board members couldn’t help but marvel. To reach Su Jing’s level and still take part in the Tokyo Olympics was unprecedented.
At the headquarters of the Siya Group, Wang Siya, Cheng Siyao, Yin Ningning, Zou Xue, and others managed to find some time to watch the Olympic Live Streaming.
“Little Xue, can A’Jing really play basketball?” Wang Siya asked with curiosity.
“It seems he has some skills. He played in college, but he didn’t stand out. He didn’t even make it onto the school team,” Zou Xue replied.
“Then why is he participating in the Tokyo Olympics basketball game?” Wang Siya exclaimed in frustration.
Cheng Siyao and Yin Ningning couldn’t help but chuckle. They understood Wang Siya’s feelings. Love runs deep, especially familial love, and it’s natural to worry about Su Jing facing setbacks.
In the Wang Family, Wang Yan was also watching the Olympic Live Streaming. Beside her, a female secretary hesitated for a moment before finally asking, “Manager Wang, is Su Jing good at basketball?”
Wang Yan shook her head and remained silent. During college, Su Jing occasionally played basketball, but his skills were average. However, perhaps because Su Jing had shattered too many of her preconceived notions, she didn’t dare to pass judgment so easily now.
“Oh, I almost forgot to mention. Grandpa just sent a message, asking me to tell you that Song Junhao has escaped from prison,” The secretary revealed.
“Song Junhao escaped?” Wang Yan was taken aback. Although she had no feelings towards Song Junhao, they had been involved in several incidents together, so she remembered him. Wasn’t Song Junhao declared mentally ill and sent to a psychiatric prison? How could he escape?
However, Wang Yan felt that she and Song Junhao had long severed all ties, so she didn’t pay much attention to it and continued watching the Olympic Live Streaming.
She had no idea that Ou Qingsong, who had pursued her and had conflicts with Su Jing, had also mysteriously disappeared.
Meanwhile, Murong Xian’er, Nalan Fei, Zhu Jianhua, Peng Ming, Lin Hao, Xiao Rui, Shi Lei, Qin Xulan, Liu Qing, and many others who were familiar with Su Jing tried their best to find time to watch the Olympics Live Streaming. Some even made excuses to take time off. Many of Su Jing’s fans did the same.
Under the gaze of the world, the first match of Group A in the Olympic basketball tournament began, and once again, it surprised many viewers that Su Jing was actually in the starting lineup, not as a substitute.
…
After a brief opening ceremony, the match officially commenced, igniting excitement among the spectators.
As the teams lined up for the tip-off, the Australian team sent out a towering 2.15-meter center, which seemed like an intimidating advantage. However, to everyone’s surprise, Su Jing was chosen by the Chinese team to face this formidable opponent.
A murmur of confusion spread through the crowd. “What’s going on?” They questioned. “Why is Brother Jing doing the tip-off? There’s a huge height difference between the two Centers.”
“It appears that the Chinese team is giving up,” Someone speculated. “Sending a shorty for the tip-off? Are they throwing the match already?”
The referee positioned himself between Su Jing and the Australian center, standing ready to toss the basketball high into the air. The tension in the arena was palpable.
The Australian Team Center leaped into the air, his tall frame and impressive bouncing ability making it seem as if he could effortlessly touch the ball just as it began its descent.
However, in a stunning turn of events, a sudden gust of wind seemed to sweep through the court, and onlookers gasped as they witnessed Su Jing soaring upward.
“Smack!”
In a split second, Su Jing’s outstretched hand made contact with the ball, redirecting its trajectory precisely towards a Chinese player who caught it effortlessly.
With impeccable timing, the player bounced the ball twice before unexpectedly passing it back to Su Jing, who had gracefully landed. It was as if the entire sequence had been choreographed in advance.
With the ball in his possession, Su Jing exploded forward like a cheetah, his dribbling skills on full display. Two defenders attempted to intercept him, but he deftly maneuvered past them with such speed and agility that it left the onlookers in awe.
Suddenly, Su Jing came to an abrupt stop, executed a perfect jump shot, and watched as the basketball smoothly swished through the net for two points.
“Wow!”
The entire arena erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
The Chinese team’s spirits soared. It wasn’t just about the two points they had scored; it was the manner in which Su Jing had achieved them. His movements— whether it was the tip-off, his dribbling, ball-handling, or shooting— were executed with unparalleled precision, elegance, and grace.
It was abundantly clear that Su Jing was no ordinary basketball player; he was a master. As the saying goes, you can discern a master from their first move.
