Chapter 66: I'm Pretending!

  "Actually met an ice system ability user, just don't know what level his ability is!" Gao Tianming lightly clenched his fist, having the urge to fight, but looking around at the scene, Gao Tianming couldn't help but bitterly smile.

  Seeing Gao Tianming standing still in his own backcourt, the other players of the accounting department rushed over, "Tianming, are you okay?" Gangzi asked with concern.

  Gao Tianming smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about something earlier! That Xu Tianhan is a bit strange, don't be careless."

  Everyone's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing Gao Tianming's words.

  "Alright, don't think too much about it now. After all, we're still ahead of them. Xu Tianhan is just one person. Even if we can't defend against him, the worst that can happen is that everyone will play a game of attack and defense!" Li Tianpeng said.

  Gao Tianming nodded, "Serve the ball, we won't lose!"

  The game restarted, and the person defending Gao Tianming in the Physics Department became Xu Tianhan.

  Facing Xu Tianhan, Gao Tianming was somewhat helpless. After all, this is a sports competition, and Gao Tianming cannot openly use the "Tian Xing Wu Lei" technique. His internal energy is only at the second level of Houtian, and he cannot project his internal energy outside his body to defend himself. When facing Xu Tianhan, an ice-type ability user, although Gao Tianming can instantly expel the invading cold air, there will always be a momentary delay, which would render his offense or defense ineffective!

  Fortunately, this was a regular basketball game and not a one-on-one bullfight. Gao Tianming had four other teammates who formed a tight defense in the paint and allowed them to shoot from the outside when they were on offense, while pulling Xu Tianhan away to let his other teammates score.

  The game was very close, and the score of the accounting department was always being chased. In the last minute of the final quarter, the accounting department and the physics department were tied at 74:75, with the accounting department trailing by one point and the ball in possession of the physics department.

  Xu Tianhan slowly brought the ball, while Gao Tianming was 1 meter away from him. At this distance, it's unclear whether Xu Tianhan's ability is the problem or if he doesn't dare to be too blatant, but the effect of the cold air released on Gao Tianming's body has been reduced to a minimum.

  "Hmm~" Xu Tianhan slowly wandered around the perimeter, he was now unable to break through Gao Tianming's defense. Gao Tianming seemed to always be able to predict his next move and the positions of the players in the frontcourt were also being blocked by the accounting team. If he continued to release his cold aura, it would indeed be easy for him to break through the defense and score, but that situation would seem a bit strange, 5 people standing still and letting him score, once or twice was okay, but if it happened multiple times, it would easily arouse suspicion from others.

  Xu Tianhan slightly adjusted his posture and threw out the ball in his hand. Gao Tianming ran to the free throw line as soon as Xu Tianhan released the ball, standing still there.

  "Bang!" The ball didn't go in and hit the outside of the rim, then it fell directly into Gao Tianming's hands!

  Gao Tianming smiled and didn't immediately launch a quick attack, because that would be easy for Xu Tianhan to disrupt. Gao Tianming slowly brought the ball forward, walking into the front court.

  There are 40 seconds left, and the accounting department probably only has this chance to attack! And this ball must go in.

  Gao Tianming arrived at the front court 3-point line position and passed the ball to team captain Li Tianpeng. Li Tianpeng looked around and passed the ball to Gangzi, who had already taken a good position. Gangzi steadily received the pass, backing against the opponent's center and slowly pushing in!

  Gao Tianming glanced at Xu Tianhan and suddenly ran towards the inner line. Xu Tianhan caught up with Gao Tianming in one step, just as he was about to use his cold energy to immobilize him, but suddenly felt a purple light flash before his eyes, and Gao Tianming had already moved 1 meter away.

  "Gangzi!" Gaotianming suddenly shouted loudly and jumped up directly.

  Gangzi heard Gao Tianming's voice, without hesitation, turned his back to Gao Tianming and threw the ball backwards. Gao Tianming was in mid-air, stretched out his body, caught Gangzi's ball with his right hand, and directly dunked it into the basket.

  Gao Tianming was suspended in the basket, looking back. Xu Tianhan was frowning slightly, as if something had just happened that made him suspicious.

  Gao Tianming smiled and dropped his hand, then high-fived with Gang Zhen and returned to his own backcourt.

  There were only 20 seconds left, the physics department did not rush to attack, three players wandered around the perimeter, and the ball was in Xu Tianhan's hands.

  Xu Tianhan patted the ball and came to Gao Tianming's face, suddenly laughing, "You used special abilities just now? This is a sports competition, using supernatural powers is against competitive ethics!"

  "Gao Tianming couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Damn it, you were the one who used it first, now you're blaming others." Gao Tianming thought to himself with some speechlessness."

  "The way of others is also from their own body! Then I won't be polite either!" Xu Tianhan said, a wave of cold air spread out from his body in all directions, the temperature increased by more than half compared to before.

  Gao Tianming was stunned for a moment, his body pretending not to move. Xu Tianhan rushed past Gao Tianming, the cold air didn't stop, and directly rushed into the inner line. Gangzi and Li Tianpeng hurried over to fill in, but as soon as they approached Xu Tianhan, their bodies involuntarily paused. Xu Tianhan took advantage of the opportunity to shake off, bringing the ball to the bottom line, then jumped up, and the basketball was already very close to the hoop.

  "It's really over!" A palm suddenly appeared on the basketball in Xu Tianhan's hand, and Xu Tianhan didn't even have time to react. His whole body lost balance in mid-air and fell to the ground, sliding out.

  The ball that was fanned out was obtained by the accounting team's player, who directly swung the ball and returned it to Li Tianpeng's hands as he rushed to the front court. He scored with an easy three-step layup.

  The whistle blew, signaling the end of the game. The Accounting Department won by a 3-point advantage over last year's champion Physics Department, achieving an unbelievable victory.

  "Ah! We won!" The players on the bench suddenly rushed out, surrounded the main players, and even wanted to pick up Gao Tianming and throw him into the air. Gao Tianming was frightened by their momentum and quickly escaped.

  The players of the Physics Department looked a bit down, one by one silently walking towards the player tunnel, while Xu Tianhan walked to Gao Tianming's side, "How did you appear behind me so quickly just now?"

  Gao Tianming's mouth corners slightly curled up, "What if I said I was just paralyzed earlier and it was a lie to you!"

  Xu Tianhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "You're very interesting! We'll meet again!" Xu Tianhan said, and followed his teammates to leave.

  "Tonight I'm treating everyone! All team members are included! We're going to celebrate!" the excited captain suddenly shouted.

  "Good!"

  PS: The basketball part should end here.
