315 Chapter 315. Basketball Match
It was unknown when Wen Xiu appeared beside Ding Shan. He lowered his head and whispered to Ding Shan, Ms. Ding, the stage effects of ‘Lion’ will be very explosive. ‘Sword spirit’, an ancient song, can also be adapted. The audience should be very interested ….”
The camera captured Wen Xiu and Ding Shan’s conversation, and it looked like they had a good relationship.
Wen Xiu was probably anxious, so he wanted to seize every opportunity to perform in front of Ding Shan. At the same time, he also wanted to get more screen time for himself.
Ding Shan was a famous coach so the Festival team would give her a lot of screen time. The more he interacted with Ding Shan, the more he could leave an impression on the audience.
How could Ding Shan not know what Wen Xiu was planning in his heart? She nodded her head indifferently and did not make any extreme reaction. She only said, “Let’s check out the other songs.”
Seeing Wen Xiu approach Ding Shan, someone in the team rolled his eyes and lowered his head to the person next to him, “Look, the face-changing King is showing off again.”
Although there were no visible conflicts in the team, the trainees of Ding Shan’s team had found Wen Xiu an eyesore for a long time.
The most disgusting thing was that if there were cameras around, Wen Xiu would smile at them affectionately and pretend to be close to them.
And once there was no camera, Wen Xiu looked at them like a noble young master looking at his servants with contempt and superiority.
Therefore, some trainees secretly gave Wen Xiu the nickname ‘Face-changing King.’
After the Festival team announced all the songs, the planning Director stood up and said, “The priority of choosing songs is up to the trainees to fight for. Do you guys see the basket over there? In a while, the Class A and B trainees would have to compete in a competition with three segments: Super-long-range three-point shots, one-minute timed shooting and a slam dunk contest. The final song will be selected according to the total score.”
When they saw the director say that only the trainees from Classes A and B were qualified to participate in the competition, the trainees from Classes C and D all lowered their heads in silence. They understood that after they had chosen their songs, they would face the fate of being selected again on the group stage.
They had not even stepped into this circle, but they could already feel the unequal treatment from others. Some people stood at the top and shone brightly, while some people were in the corner, ignored by everyone.
After the warm-up, Class A and B students began to compete. Several cameras followed their movements, and the harsh sound of shoes rubbing against the floor made the scene feel like a high school basketball court.
Among the many trainees, Ding Shan’s gaze fell on Mysterious X.
She had initially thought, ‘I wonder how good this person is at basketball. He’s a member of Class A. If his performance later is too embarrassing, he’ll probably feel embarrassed with his proud look.’
However, Ding Shan was overthinking.
Among all the trainees, Mysterious X performed exceptionally well. He calmly moved the ball, broke through the defense line, and shot … His well-built muscles exuded a perfect sense of strength, and his expression was relaxed, as if he was not in a competition but just playing with the trainees around him.
In addition, the mysterious man’s figure and appearance were very outstanding. For a time, even the cameraman could not help but point the camera at him many times.
Every time Mysterious X scored a point, the crowd would cheer. A trainee next to Ding Shan excitedly said to her friend, “This X has been trained. With this level, he can enter our University’s basketball team. He’s so good. I even want to learn a few moves from him.”
Ding Shan didn’t know much about basketball, but from the trainee’s words, Mysterious X seemed quite reasonable.
Seeing that everyone’s attention was on Mysterious X, Wen Xiu, who had been trying his best to show off, was so angry that he wanted to smash the basketball in his hand on Mysterious X’s head. What made him even more annoyed was that Ding Shan did not look at him after they went to the court. Instead, she looked at Mysterious X a few times.
He stayed in the basketball club for a few months to show off in front of the girls when Wen Xiu was a student. His physical condition was good, and the coach even said he was very suitable to be an athlete.
Although he had not played basketball for a long time, Wen Xiu felt much stronger than the trainees around him.
He guessed Mysterious X was just a rich second-generation and did not usually practice basketball. He might be able to steal the limelight from Mysterious X on the court this time.
