LRAB Chapter 131 Prince of Tennis Basketball Game
Chapter 131 Prince of Tennis Basketball Game
During the Kanto tournament, Zhaolan's competition and the W-net event officially kicked off.
The competition took her 20 days in total. However, more than days had passed since she came out, and she hadn't returned yet.
Time returns to now,
Zhao Lan, wearing a WNBA basketball uniform, followed the person in charge into the basketball stadium.
The WNBA women's basketball center, whom she had met before at the charity exhibition game, came over to greet her when she saw her come in.
"Hi, Lan, long time no see, do you still remember me? Congratulations on winning the W-net tournament!"
"Of course I remember, Quinn." Zhao Lan smiled and bumped fists with her. "I just didn't expect the sponsor to invite me to play basketball. I hope I won't hold you back."
A cross-border basketball charity exhibition game is about to be held here.
The reason why she appeared here was because she had just finished a game a few days ago. When a reporter interviewed her and asked about her other sports hobbies, she casually said that in addition to martial arts, she would occasionally play basketball.
After that, she was recommended by the brand sponsor and invited to participate in this cross-border exhibition match, but this time she participated in a basketball game instead of a tennis game.
"Relax," Quinn patted her shoulder, "This is not a professional league. I've seen your interview video. With your athletic ability, as long as you are not completely inexperienced and have a little training, it shouldn't be a problem for you to handle a performance..."
Zhao Lan nodded and was about to speak when a familiar, clear male voice came from behind her.
"Dear Lan! Nice to see you again! Congratulations on winning the championship again. You have become stronger!"
As he spoke, he turned and winked at Quinn, "And our basketball queen, when I heard you were participating in the competition, I immediately booked a flight to come here~."
"Raphael?" Zhao Lan and Kui asked in unison. They turned around and saw that it was Raphael who had participated in the exhibition match with them before.
Looking at the familiar face he had just met at the stadium a few days ago, Zhao Lan had a bad feeling in his heart. Would it turn into a funny show like before?
She was wondering why the other party would invite her to play basketball. It couldn't be just because of that interview, right? Now that she saw Rafael, she felt that she had found the truth.
After all, given her height, it's a bit out of place for her to stand next to a group of female basketball players.
"Haha, dear Lan, your expression is so funny! But, unfortunately, we are not in the same group for this exhibition match~."
Coach Kurihara whispered behind her, "It's mainly because you just won the W Open. You're a hot topic right now. Even if you just come here to dribble a ball, sponsors will be eager to get you."
Zhao Lan nodded. She remembered that she had specifically asked before coming. The competition was divided into male and female groups.
During the next two days of training, Quinn marveled at her performance: "It's a shame you don't play basketball."
In their team, only two are professional basketball players, and the others are celebrities from various fields.
The best performers were Quinn and Zhao Lan who played basketball. She was a little worried because basketball is a physical game and the other team would not be able to handle it.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly petite girl makes up for her height disadvantage with her amazing explosive power and jumping ability.
Quinn was originally a center, but what surprised everyone the most was Zhao Lan, who, apart from being a little short in height, was extremely suitable to play point guard.
The game hasn't started yet, but as soon as the list of names for the exhibition match was announced, the internet and news media became lively.
After all, she just won the W Open Championship and is now a hot topic of discussion.
When people learned that she was going to participate in a basketball exhibition game, a large number of them immediately thought of the joyful exhibition game she had previously played with Raphael, and everyone started frantically scrambling for tickets.
It was only when Zhaolan’s friends saw the news that they realized she had gone to play basketball.
Although we know that she occasionally plays basketball on the street court for exercise, no one has ever seen her actually play in a game.
Recently their competition was suspended for a week due to heavy rain, so now is just the right time to watch her live game.
Not to mention others, even Coach Kurihara, if she hadn't said it, he wouldn't have known that she could play basketball.
……
On the day the game officially started, the stadium was packed with people, and many of her fans flew over to witness her basketball debut.
When the players entered the field, cheers broke out from the audience, and everyone's fans were calling out the names of their idols.
"Lan, Raphael!!"
Suddenly, a particularly loud cheer came from the audience. The venue became quiet for a few seconds, and then more voices joined in.
Raphael waved to everyone very generously. Zhao Lan twitched his lips, looked towards the audience seats, and finally waved his hands helplessly.
The photographer immediately pointed the camera at the two of them, and her expression appeared on the big screen. Everyone was instantly amused by their different expressions and burst into good-natured laughter.
As the game whistle sounded,
The first match was the men's competition.
Raphael is in this team, and unlike his last comedian performance, his performance this time can be said to be quite eye-catching, fully demonstrating his very well-trained physique.
Basketball does seem to be more exciting.
The speed, strength, and physical collisions made the audience feel the passion from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone naturally got involved and cheered for the wonderful skills and goals of the players on the field.
Even Zhao Lan and others here joined in to cheer them on.
It can be seen that Rafael must be a basketball enthusiast. His dribbling and shooting movements are quite professional and skilled.
It's Zhao Lan's turn to play.
Zhao Lan and her team were wearing red uniforms, while the other team was wearing white uniforms.
As the referee blew the whistle, Quinn and the opposing team's captain went for a jump ball.
With the advantage of height, Quinn jumped up, and when the ball reached the highest point, she suddenly hit the ball towards her team.
When the spectators thought that the force was too great, they only heard a crisp sound of hitting the ball. At some point, a player in a red jersey, holding the ball in his hand, had already come to the opponent's basket.
Before the opponent could react, she jumped up and threw the ball into the basket.
"Wow—"
"Wow? Why is she there?"
"Did anyone see what happened just now?"
Amid everyone's questions, the screen showed the slow motion of the ball just now, and everyone saw what happened.
When Quinn started the jump ball, a player in a red jersey started running towards the opponent's basket.
At the same time, the moment Quinn hit the ball over, Zhao Lan suddenly appeared where the basketball passed. She quickly stretched out her hand and hit the ball into the hands of the player who was already waiting on her side.
The whole process was so short that everyone only felt the basketball flash over there and go directly to the opponent's basket.
After three days of adjustment, Quinn finally chose to let her play as a guard, mainly because she was really suitable for the point guard position.
"Oh my god, this is the first time I know that you can pass the ball like this!"
After that, everyone saw how terrible this pass was.
