477: Chapter 476: The Invincible God [10 more chapters] 477: Chapter 476: The Invincible God [10 more chapters] Kobe could hardly articulate his words.
Although he had indeed failed to react just now and had certainly underestimated his opponent, in the mont he passed by Ning Fan, Kobe still felt it.
That tricky angle and movent technique, even at his peak, he simply couldn’t accomplish it, let alone the fact that his opponent was doing it with one hand, blindfolded!
“What?
Not convinced?
Want to go again?” Ning Fan patted the basketball in his hand and tilted his head as he spoke.
“Fine, let’s go again!” Kobe roared.
His spirit was high, and he was spurred on by Ning Fan’s disdainful expression and the astonishing skill and movent technique of the opponent.
Since he was still at his peak, and he had encountered such a worthy adversary, he was ready for a fierce battle!
As soon as Kobe finished speaking, Ning Fan made his move again.
This ti, Kobe dared not underestimate him; he focused all his attention on Ning Fan.
But…
it was no use!
Kobe only saw a flash in front of his eyes.
He tried his hardest to stop the opponent, even abandoning the thought of stealing the ball, but it was still futile.
With a thud, the basketball went into the hoop again, and Ning Fan, just like before, quickly dribbled back to his original position.
“Let’s go again,” Kobe’s voice suddenly cald down.
The anger and humiliation he had felt from being underestimated had completely disappeared.
In this mont, he was his most perfect self.
But it still made no difference.
With a thud, for the third ti, he lost again.
Soon, the fourth ti…
The fifth ti…
The sixth ti…
By the ti he lost for the ninth ti, Kobe was covered in cold sweat.
He realized that he couldn’t even touch his opponent’s clothing!
Could such techniques and skills really belong to a human being?
Especially when the opponent was using only one hand and was blindfolded.
The surrounding crowd, which had started out shocked and excited, began to have doubts.
“Hey, that blindfold you’ve got on, can you see through it?” soone from the sidelines shouted, loudly questioning.
They couldn’t be blad for doubting.
From the beginning until now, Ning Fan had each ti seemingly dodged Kobe’s blocking moves as if he could see, and he could always precisely return to the original spot and his shots were absolutely perfect, hitting the basket.
Could a blind person truly do that?
“Since you’re doubting, then how about this?” Ning Fan said, and suddenly turned around, facing away from Kobe.
Everyone was abruptly taken aback.
Was this guy actually going to compete with Kobe facing away?
One hand, eyes covered, turning his back on his opponent?!
At this mont, Kobe was so shocked that he didn’t know what to say.
The Ning Fan before him made Kobe feel, for the first ti, a sense of powerlessness on the basketball court, a sensation that no matter what, he could not surpass the opponent.
The Ning Fan before him was like Mount Tai pressing down on Kobe, and even though Ning Fan was now facing away, Kobe still felt that he had no chance of winning.
On the basketball court, Ning Fan over there is a god!
An invincible god!
“He’s moving, he’s moving!” suddenly soone shouted from the sidelines.
Kobe’s body shook, and he quickly composed himself to look at Ning Fan, indeed finding Ning Fan dribbling backward towards him.
Kobe swallowed hard, standing in place, suddenly a bit at a loss.
He had played basketball for so long, what kind of scenes and moves hadn’t he seen?
But this kind of backward dribbling coming toward him, completely with his back to Kobe, he had never experienced!
What to do?
What to do?
What to do!
As Kobe contemplated this question, his body subconsciously tried to block, but the distraction made his arms and legs all the more chaotic, and in a daze, Ning Fan slipped past him again.
He spun around sharply to look at Ning Fan, and saw him, in the mont of slipping past, turn around, slap the ball with one hand, scoop it up, lift his arm, shoot, and with a bang, the basketball traced a perfect arc through the air into the hoop, before falling down.
This ti, Ning Fan did not reach out to catch the ball, letting it bounce on the ground, ‘bang bang bang’ echoing as it did.
Each bounce and thud seed like a heavy hamr brutally striking Kobe’s heart, ‘thud thud thud,’ making Kobe feel so sick he wanted to throw up blood.
Watching the bouncing ball slowly co to a stop before him, Kobe’s internal spirit of never admitting defeat gradually cald down.
Indeed, now he was just like this ball after a shot, the ga was over, the court no longer needed him, a discarded, flawed ball, how could it possibly return to the ga?
On the sidelines, after a brief silence, suddenly erupted thunderous applause and cheers.
Kobe’s heart clenched tightly, when had such cheers and applause belonged to him!
Regrettably, now he had no more chances.
Kobe coldly watched the ball, which had completely stopped moving, in a daze, the True Qi Ning Fan had transferred into him slowly drained, vanished, and his leg began to throb with pain again.
But comparatively, the intense pain in his heart was even stronger.
“Do you still think you’re a god on the basketball court now?
Even under your peak condition,” Ning Fan said, taking off the scarf from his head and walking up to Kobe, asking faintly.
“You’re very strong, the strongest I’ve ever seen, I indeed am not your equal, I…” Kobe’s expression suddenly darkened, “You’re right, in front of you, I truly am a piece of trash.”
Trash at the peak, and after a crippled leg, even more so the trash among trash!
Ning Fan chuckled lightly, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and asked, “Do you know why you lost?”
“Isn’t it because of your skill…”
“It’s not.” Ning Fan interrupted Kobe bluntly.
He turned to face Kobe, looking into Kobe’s dim, lusterless eyes, and declared loudly, “When I compete with you, when I step onto the court, I am an athlete, I fear nothing, I believe I can win!
When I pick up the basketball, I can control the whole court, even if I lose an arm, go blind, I am still a god on the basketball court!”
Kobe felt a jolt in his heart, as though cold water was being poured over him from head to foot.
“Indeed, you have lost, because you have lost in your heart.
You were defeated by over and over, and even later when you had a chance to win, you no longer believed in yourself.
How can a person who does not believe in themselves win?” Ning Fan continued to ask.
Every word, sharp and clear, like steel needles piercing deeply into Kobe’s soul!
“Do you think that soone who has lost an arm, gone blind, is in a better situation than you?
You keep practicing, keep trying, not because you haven’t given up, but because you are angry, resentful, unwilling!
Am I right?”
