The game continued, the pace was still so fast that it was breathtaking. Nie Chuan's nerves were like a taut string.

Thomas stole the ball from Montenegro and passed it to Wright. Nie Chuan followed closely and constantly interfered with Wright's dribbling.

Wright dribbled the ball behind his back and turned to get rid of Nie Chuan, but Nie Chuan turned from the other side and blocked Wright again. He had already adapted to Wright's style of play, but Wright was very annoyed with Nie Chuan in front of him.

Just as he changed direction again, Nie Chuan suddenly took the ball away and rushed towards the CBU basket.

But before Nie Chuan could get the ball to the opponent's area, the ball disappeared. He turned around and saw Owen dribbling away.

There was no fancy technique, except for the word "fast", so fast that Nie Chuan couldn't react at all.

Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, Nie Chuan is already fast enough, but when compared with Ou En, the gap is very obvious.

The entire DK returned to defense again, Nie Chuan ran closely behind Owen, and Reese had already arrived in front of Owen.

Owen faced Reese, pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled, then suddenly stopped, turned sideways and passed the ball diagonally to the back.

The pass was extremely fast and flew towards Nie Chuan.

In Nie Chuan's eyes, it was like a burning meteor, and he had no doubt that it would smash his head into pieces.

Subconsciously, out of his body's natural reaction, Nie Chuan turned his head away and even raised his hands to protect himself. The ball almost brushed his cheek and flew past, but was caught steadily by Thomas who was running towards him.

Thomas dribbled the ball to the basket, and Carlo yelled, "Allen—"

Nie Chuan wanted to move forward, but Owen had already turned around and stood in front of Nie Chuan. Reese went to intercept Thomas, but was always a step too late, and Thomas steadily sent the ball into the basket.

"How do you feel, kid?"

Ou En turned his head and smiled, and Nie Chuan saw a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

There was a burning pain on his cheek, and Nie Chuan raised his hand to cover himself.

"I wanted to smash your head open."

Nie Chuan's fingers trembled. Sure enough, that feeling was real...

Suddenly, Nie Chuan burped again.

Just as he was burping, Owen received another ball and moved sideways around Nie Chuan. His posture was like a moonwalk, so cool and graceful.

"Don't give up!" Ewing shouted.

Nie Chuan woke up and quickly chased after him.

As if waiting for Nie Chuan to catch up, Ou En took a step back and stood outside the three-point line.

Nie Chuan observed that Thomas was being defended by Carlo and Wright was already in a favorable position by Ewing. It was impossible for Ewing to pass the ball. He really wanted to take this three-pointer!

Nie Chuan jumped up desperately to block the ball, while behind Owen was Reese rushing over.

I can stop it!

I can stop it!

The height of Nie Chuan's jump made Ou En slightly distracted, but he still smiled.

It was a fadeaway jump shot, Owen's posture in the air showed an extremely harmonious beauty, and the ball passed over Nie Chuan's fingertips.

"Bang——"

Ou En's finger made a shooting gesture, pointing at Nie Chuan's forehead.

And the sound of a basket was heard from behind Nie Chuan.

Owen did not lose his balance, his right foot supported his falling body.

Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva. He had clearly tried his best and clearly jumped higher than usual, but why couldn't he be stopped?

"Good job, just a little bit more." Reese said standing behind him.

Nie Chuan burped again.

In the next round of attack, Reese was going to cut in between Owen and Nie Chuan, but he was restrained by Thomas, as if the entire CBU intended for Nie Chuan to face Owen.

Owen broke through Montenegro and made a fierce slam dunk. The basketball bounced when it touched the ground and hit Nie Chuan like a rocket. Nie Chuan didn't even have time to retreat.

"Ah!" Nie Chuan covered his side, in so much pain that he fell to the ground.

My stomach was churning and I almost vomited.

"Alan!" Ewing hurried over to take a look.

Carlo grabbed Owen by the collar and said angrily, "You did this on purpose! Are you done yet?"

Owen waved Carlo's hand away nonchalantly and smiled very gentlemanly: "You can't even avoid touching the earth, and you still blame me?"

"you……"

"Carlo, let him go." Reese walked over and glanced at Owen.

As soon as Nie Chuan was pulled up by Ewing, he burped again.

"Are you still hiccuping?" Ewing patted him.

Nie Chuan smiled unhappily.

"Does it hurt? If it hurts, can you take a rest?"

This time it was Reese who spoke: "Peter, you come to replace Nie Chuan."

Peter, who got the chance to play, nodded seriously.

Nie Chuan returned to his seat, holding his stomach, and Chuck handed him a towel and water.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. But Alan, you're really amazing. Not many people can do what you did against Owen."

"Um."

Has everyone started to comfort him?

Nie Chuan's fingers were shaking as he held the bottle of mineral water. Only he knew the pressure Owen brought to him. It seemed that he could not get over it no matter what.

If this was not a practice match but a regular season match, Nie Chuan had no doubt that he would have been carried off the court. Owen would not let him stay on the court until the end.

Nie Chuan knew that even if he returned to the field, once he was targeted by Owen, he would only be slaughtered.

He had no intention of watching the rest of the game, because his mind kept replaying Owen's every dribbling move, every pass, and every dunk, as if all of this was just to make him lose and feel ashamed.

The first half of the game finally ended.

Carlo and the others came back.

"Alan, are you okay?" Carlo pressed Nie Chuan's shoulder.

"He's been hiccuping! It's that Owen's fault. He scared Allen at the beginning, and then took advantage of Allen's hiccups to break through Allen's defense! How insidious!" Ewing said indignantly.

Nie Chuan really wanted to say "thank you" to Ewing for finding so many excuses for his failure.

All this had nothing to do with his hiccups; it was simply because he was not as skilled as others.

He was a guy on the same level as Reese. In front of him, I was like a cockroach that could be crushed by his shoe at any time.

"I heard that if you have hiccups, you just need to scare them! Let me scare you!"

As soon as Carlo finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Nie Chuan by the collar and punched him in the face.

"Carlo--" Ewing was so scared that his heart almost jumped out.

Nie Chuan closed his eyes and turned his head away. Carlo's fist stopped at the tip of Nie Chuan's nose.

"What are you doing! Idiot!" Ewing stepped forward and pushed Carlo away.

Nie Chuan burped again.

"Huh? It's useless? Don't they say that people with hiccups can be cured by just scaring them?" Carlo looked puzzled.

"How could it be useful? Otherwise, Alan wouldn't have burped when he was hit by the ball." Montenegro was helpless with Carlo.

At this moment, Nie Chuan felt a force pulling him up, and when he raised his eyes, his gaze met Reese's.

"Reese..."

"Come with me." Reese's voice was very low.

"Hey, Reese! Where are you taking Alan?" Ewing shouted worriedly.

"Toilet."

"Reese... won't do anything to Allen, right?" Ewing said worriedly.

"No. Allen has been with Reese all the time. Reese knows his technical characteristics and mental state best. When they come back, Allen will definitely return to normal." Montenegro patted Ewing on the shoulder.

At this time, Owen was drinking water with his head tilted back.

Light sighed and said, "Ah... it must hurt to be hit by your ground ball. Will I need to go to the hospital?"

Owen raised his eyebrows and asked in amusement, "Why, do you sympathize with him?"

Wright closed his eyes and said, "What if I say that I think you're not being merciful enough?"

"How much more cruel do you want? Do you need me to break his bones?" Owen said half-jokingly.

"His self-esteem must have been crushed in front of you, right?" Wright shrugged. "When he jumped up, I really thought he was going to block your fadeaway shot."

"How is that possible?" Owen smiled.

“Maybe next time.”

Nie Chuan, who was being dragged by Reese, could not keep up with the other party's pace at all. Reese strode forward, while Nie Chuan almost ran to catch up with him.

"Reese! Reese what's wrong with you?"

Nie Chuan was worried. He knew that it was really annoying that he had let Owen break through his defense countless times, but... his ability was limited! He had just learned to walk, so he couldn't be asked to jump high now!

They actually made it to the bathroom, and Reese opened a stall and pushed him in.

Nie Chuan fell onto the toilet and looked up at Reese in horror.

It was just the first time he saw Reese like this. He was like a mountain that was about to collapse and could crush him at any time.

“That…that…”

Reese leaned down, brushed his hands against Nie Chuan's ears, and leaned against the wall behind him. His eyes fell from a high altitude, making Nie Chuan almost unable to bear it.

"I ask you, are you afraid of me?"

Huh? What kind of a question is that?

But Reese's eyes were extremely serious.

"Answer me, are you afraid of me?"

Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva and was about to lower his head, but Reese said in an imperative tone: "Don't lower your head, look at me and tell the truth."

"…I was very scared before…Now…"

"What's going on now?"

Reese's face was very close, and Nie Chuan felt as if his thoughts had entered the other person's eyes and began to shuttle back and forth endlessly.

"I'm not afraid now."

"So who do you think is more powerful, me or Owen?"

"Ah?" Nie Chuan didn't understand why Reese asked that.

"To be honest, if I am good, then I am good. If he is better, then he is better."

Nie Chuan swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes and thought seriously.

His mind flashed back to the first time Reese dunked in front of him.

And every time he accompanied me in practice, he would dribble past me smoothly.

And that pull-up layup against Raven.

"I think you are more powerful." Nie Chuan replied.

He was convinced of the answer.

"So if you're not afraid of me, why are you afraid of Owen?"

Reese's words stunned Nie Chuan.

Yeah, why should we be afraid of Owen?

Because of self-esteem? He was defeated by Reese every day. Even if it was Owen, he would be defeated by him. Anyway, he was not the first person to be defeated by him, so his self-esteem could be thrown out of his mind.

Was he hurt by his skills? That's not a big deal. I even had a nosebleed from Carlo's dunk!

What a rare experience it is to face off against a strong enemy other than Reese?

Think about how natural his Wade Phantom Steps are, combining left and right changes of direction with speed, and the combination of man and ball has reached a certain level!

And his fade away shot, the angle is just amazing.

These wonderful moments that I could only see in NBA games before, now I am experiencing them myself...Why should I be afraid?

Nie Chuan opened his mouth and was about to say something to Reese, but he burped loudly again.

Ah! How embarrassing!

Suddenly, Reese came over and pressed his lips against Nie Chuan.

Nie Chuan was so shocked that he leaned back and lost his balance. Fortunately, Reese grabbed the back of his neck with his right hand, otherwise he would have really fallen onto the water tank!

Before Nie Chuan had time to think about what was happening, Reese's tongue squeezed in openly.

This was an extremely violent and violent kiss, which turned Nie Chuan's thoughts upside down.

Reese's warmth and strength all poured into Nie Chuan's body.

He had to raise his head to bear it, Reese's kiss seemed to crush his bones.

Just by slightly turning his face to change the angle, Nie Chuan's shoulders shrugged.

Reese is like a tyrant, as if he wants to torture Nie Chuan to death with a kiss.

Nie Chuan raised his hand and tried to push Reese's shoulder away.

But the other person sucked harder, holding the back of his head and lifting him up from the sitting position.

Nie Chuan's legs were weak and he couldn't stand up straight, but Reese easily propped him up and pressed him hard into his arms.

He had no idea how long the kiss lasted. Nie Chuan felt like he was almost unable to breathe. The other person suddenly withdrew from his lips, and as soon as she let go, Nie Chuan fell back to where he was.

He stared at Reese with his eyes wide open stupidly.

This is...what is this doing?

The whole space was deadly quiet.

Reese stood there, looking at Nie Chuan.

"Still hiccuping?"

After a long while, Reese finally asked.

"Ah? What?"

"I ask you, are you still hiccuping?" Reese raised his chin.

Nie Chuan suddenly realized what was happening, his entire face flushed red: "Hey! Are you kidding me? Did you kiss me just to stop me from hiccuping?"

"Yeah." Reese answered as a matter of course.

"You put your tongue in here again! You put it in here again!" Nie Chuan clenched his fists tightly.

Just as he was about to throw a punch, Reese grabbed his wrist firmly.

Reese raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you are becoming more and more confident in yourself. You actually waved your fist at me?"

The anger that was rising in Nie Chuan's head instantly subsided.

But he was really pissed off! Really, really pissed off!

That was his...well, it wasn't his first kiss...

Last time in the library, Reese claimed that he would return Celine's kiss to him, and this time in the bathroom...that...that what!

"You...can't be..."

An outrageous idea flashed through Nie Chuan's mind.

"What could it be?" Reese asked coldly.

Nie Chuan stretched his hand in front of Reese and bent his fingers: "Your fingers are not bent, are they?"

Reese looked at Nie Chuan, with a chill deep in his eyes, and Nie Chuan's hair stood on end.

Then, Nie Chuan regretted it.

What nonsense are you talking about!

Even if others haven't seen it, haven't I seen enough? Reese's serious face hides his sinister nature.

Sure enough, Reese's eyebrows slowly raised, and the smile on his lips was enough to capture all the blind women in the world.

The tip of his nose was less than a centimeter away from Nie Chuan, and his face turned sideways as if he was about to kiss him again.

Nie Chuan's heart was stirred again by the other party.

"What do you say, idiot?"

After saying that, Reese stood up, opened the door, and walked out with his pockets in his hands.

Nie Chuan was still sitting there, almost reaching for his hair.

Oh my God! Nie Chuan, what did you just say?

This is even more embarrassing than getting hit by  a basketball and having a nosebleed!

"Hey, why are you still sitting there? Are you constipated?" Reese tilted his head and glanced over sharply.

Nie Chuan quickly stood up and followed the other person out of the bathroom.

As soon as Ewing saw Nie Chuan, he ran over: "Alan! Alan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Haha..."

Looking at Nie Chuan's silly smile, You Yin let out a breath.

"I'm glad you're okay. We'll catch up in the second half."

"Well, I'll try my best."

When Nie Chuan raised his eyes, he saw Ou En across the  basketball court.

Owen shook the mineral water bottle in his hand as if he was shaking a red wine glass. He smiled at Nie Chuan very elegantly, as if he had no offensive power at all. The person who had just pushed Nie Chuan into a desperate situation on the court was not him at all.

Thinking of the ball that hit his stomach, Nie Chuan suddenly felt a little annoyed. What if he vomited out all the chocolate he had eaten in the morning? That would be a huge waste!

Nie Chuan mouthed to Ou En: "Go to hell."

It took Ou En two seconds to understand what Nie Chuan said. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled playfully.

"Owen, what are you laughing at?" Thomas asked.

"Well, I suddenly think that little guy is pretty cute."

"Ah... then he's finished. The more you find him adorable, the more you want to destroy him." Wright lit a candle for Nie Chuan in his heart.

The second half of the game begins.

Wright took the ball and started a fast break, rushing in front of Nie Chuan, and the two clashed again. Wright failed to fool Nie Chuan with two consecutive tentative steps, so he simply passed the ball to Owen on the side, but unexpectedly Nie Chuan suddenly jumped up and intercepted the ball in front of Owen.

"oh--"

The audience sighed. None of them expected Nie Chuan to have such a quick reaction ability.

Nie Chuan ran with the ball, determined to get it across half court this time.

He knew that there were Carlo and Montenegro in front of him, Ewing behind him, and Reese on his left, so he still had many options.

But Owen had already caught up and returned to the three-second zone.

Nie Chuan was about to pass the ball when he heard Reese shouting, "Pass him! Nie Chuan!"

Nie Chuan's heart was shocked, and he had no time to think about it.

Owen smiled.

He didn't know whether Reese overestimated Nie Chuan or underestimated him.

Nie Chuan showed no signs of slowing down.

Owen had watched Nie Chuan's game for more than ten minutes, and he knew how good Nie Chuan was at stopping suddenly and controlling the space for breaking through. He was ready to shoot when Nie Chuan stopped suddenly, but Nie Chuan didn't slow down when he was about to hit him. He raised his arm holding the ball in front of Owen, and then swung in a circle with his elbow as the axis, avoiding Owen's grab, and moved his body in front of his foot on the same side. It was an extremely exaggerated change of direction. If it was an ordinary person, he would have fallen down long ago, but Nie Chuan swayed past Owen gracefully.

His figure was fast, like a butterfly flashing its wings, then he jumped and made a layup.

That was the Wade Phantom Step that Owen used when he dribbled past Nie Chuan in the first half!

But this is not the end.

Owen turned quickly and leapt up with great explosiveness.

Montenegro and Carlo rushed to support, because Nie Chuan's layup would definitely be blocked by Owen.

But Nie Chuan took the ball back in mid-air and passed it to Reese from under Owen's armpit.

Reese jumped on the spot and scored a shot.

Everyone was stunned.

Nie Chuan let out a long breath.

Did he feel like he was dreaming?

He and Reese had practiced so many times, but it was nothing like what happened just now...

Oh my God! What has he done?

"Alan...you are so awesome..." Ewing said stupidly.

Nie Chuan looked in Reese's direction, and Reese just said to Owen: "This is what the Chinese often say, give someone a taste of their own medicine."

“…This is really interesting…”

Ou En looked at Nie Chuan's profile.

"Owen... I didn't expect this guy could perform the European step so well. It's so annoying. Why didn't I see him use it on me in the first half? Does he look down on me?" Wright said a little angrily.

"He just learned it," Owen replied with a smile.

"What did you just learn?"

"From me."

"Really..." Wright looked at Nie Chuan's back and suddenly felt that this guy's imitation ability was too scary.

Ou En walked past Nie Chuan and said with a smile, "You will have to pay a price if you steal my skills.

Nie Chuan glanced at Ou En, completely ignored him, and ran away.

In the next few rounds of offense, Nie Chuan dribbled the ball and broke through the defense of several CBU players, but when he faced Owen, the ball was intercepted by the opponent. Owen's jump shot was intercepted by Reese. The offense and defense alternated between the two teams. Owen had just scored a dunk, and Reese would definitely get the ball back within five seconds.

The audience outside the venue was overwhelmed by the show.

This was Nie Chuan's first time experiencing such a high-intensity competition. If it weren't for Reese's training during this period, he would have already given up.

Nie Chuan once again intercepted the ball from the opponent's power forward and turned around to face Owen, who looked at him with a faint smile. This time, Nie Chuan was attacked from both sides, with Owen in front and the opponent's power forward behind him.

Little boy, let’s see what you’re going to do now.
