Strong Offense And Defense Chapter 2

At that moment, the sight of Reese Reddington's lips slowly rising oppressed Nie Chuan's nerves, like a sharp blade across his eyes.

This was the first time Nie Chuan saw such a handsome man. This kind of beauty is completely different from those European and American male stars or top male models in movies and on television. It is a type of elegant but aggressive beauty. 

Nie Chuan was frozen in the same place, not knowing what to do with himself.

Zhou Bin and Mao Xian wanted to come over but were stopped by Mark. 

“What's the matter? Try and see if you can pa.s.s me.” Reese's eyebrow lightly rose, and Nie Chuan's eyes followed it. 

Despite the smile on his lips, his voice was too cold, as if it was biting painfully into Nie Chuan's bones.

Never having encountered such a person made Nie Chuan, who never cared about winning or losing, feel afraid. 

Nie Chuan did not know what the other person's background was, but the people around him took out their phones as if to capture a cla.s.sic moment. 

“Hey, kid. No need to be afraid, just flatten Reese Reddington like how you dealt with that other guy just now.” 

Another man with a build that was similar to Reese's also walked over. He had very beautiful eyes. Nie Chuan could hear someone talking about him. His name seemed to be Carlo Brandon. 

With his wavy golden hair and beautiful facial features, Carlo looked like an archangel from   the scriptures. It's just that the mole on the corner of his eyes made those originally moving eyes unruly.

“Kid? Who are you calling a kid?” 

Carlo immediately received the unhappy focus of Nie Chuan. After coming here, he has already been mistaken many times as a middle school student and now this idiot named Carlo Brandon actually said he's a kid? 

“Oh, sorry…” Carlo raised his hands, putting on an appearance of having said something unintentionally. “If you can get the ball past this guy, I will take you and your friends to go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. How about it?” 

Nie Chuan became even more furious. To put it bluntly, this guy is still regarding him as a kid. 

“You played very well just now. It's just that my friend thinks that getting the ball past your opponent was all a coincidence, although I don't think so at all. So, can you do it again?” 

Carlo's tone was soft and patient, the only thing he was missing was taking a lollipop out of his pocket! 

Nie Chuan now feels that not only was he being treated like a kid, he was also being treated like a kindergartener!

“Go away!” Nie Chuan was really angry. 

“Uh oh…” Carlo stepped back, leaving the venue to them. While retreating, he pointed at Reese and said, “Hey, don't bully him! He's still a kid!” 

You are the kid! Your whole family is a kid! 

Nie Chuan was so mad that smoke almost came out of the top of his head. 

“Let's get started.” Reese did not listen to the dialogue between Carlo and Nie Chuan at all. Instead he slowly lowered his center of gravity, his line of sight locking onto Nie Chuan. 

Reese's gaze is calm, but Nie Chuan has the illusion that he is a prey that the hunter is eyeing. 

Is this the legendary “one on one”?

Taking a deep breath and calming his mind, Nie Chuan dribbled the ball closer to his opponent. He tentatively swayed with the ball twice but the other person stayed completely still. In those unfathomable eyes, Nie Chuan felt like everything about himself was seen by his opponent. When he retracted his foot and was about to deliver the ball from his left hand to his right hand, the ball was easily intercepted by the other person the moment it changed direction. It was so fast that he couldn't react.

Instead of dribbling the ball past Nie Chuan, Reese threw it back to him. 

Nie Chuan was almost hit in the face and stepped back. 

Reese gestured a finger at Carlo, who was watching on the side. Carlo shrugged his shoulders helplessly. 

“Come again.” Reese looked to the side. His chin had a flawless line, his slender neck extending out a heart-stirring yet un.o.btrusive curve. 

No need to continue, Nie Chuan knows that his skills are not as good as Reese Reddington's, it's not even at the same level. Is there any purpose and meaning in this one-on-one? 

Is this like when a professional player plays with a student? 

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Nie Chuan dribbled the ball calmly while reflecting on his earlier mistakes. The movement of his shoulders had been too small and Reese's momentum had made him so timid that the s.h.i.+ft in his center of gravity between his left and right feet was inconsistent with his contact to the basketball in his hand. 

Nie Chuan's breathing gradually stabilized. Pus.h.i.+ng away all miscellaneous thoughts from his mind, the whole world seemed to drift away.

He dribbled the ball at a neither too hurried nor too slow pace, adjusted his rhythm accordingly, and lowered his center of gravity. Before the onlookers could react, he rushed towards Reese without hesitation, making the people around him helplessly sigh. Without any intention of slowing down, he suddenly changed direction in front of Reese. 

Reese's reaction speed was quicker than Nie Chuan had imagined. When he was about to touch the ball, Nie Chuan suddenly stopped and turned his body to the other side, catching sight of the people around him stretching their necks in the process.

Just when Nie Chuan thought that he was about to break through Reese's defense, Reese's face flashed past him, the sharp interest in his eyes almost made Nie Chuan forget what he was doing. 

The basketball was once again stolen by Reese. 

Nie Chuan stood rooted in place, just how did Reese do that? 

The speed of Reese's sudden stop and change in direction was several times that of Nie Chuan's! This kind of defense is as firm as a spider web and makes people feel his incredible control over his movements. Nie Chuan couldn't help but think that this guy isn't even human!

Reese raised his chin. “Take the ball back. Come again.” 

This commanding sentence really made Nie Chuan upset. He wanted to reward the other with a big slap, but he sorrowfully had to admit that his strength value was significantly lower than the other's. He could only accept his fate and take the ball back.

Reese looked in Carlo's direction. Carlo nodded, his expression saying "I know”, then raised two fingers to indicate that this is already the second ball. 

Never more than three, this is Reese Reddington's rule.

There are more and more spectators around the court.

Sweat fell into Nie Chuan's eyes from his forehead, and he pulled the collar of his T-s.h.i.+rt up to wipe it. 

“Kid, getting the ball past your opponent is not just a sway of the shoulder and a change in direction,” Reese said.

Nie Chuan thought he would feel angry, but the inexplicable tone of Reese's voice made him calm down. 

“If it's not just swaying your shoulders and changing direction, then what else is there?” Nie Chuan asked. 

“There is also speed and timing. You don't know when the best time to shoot is, and there's also not enough speed.” 

Nie Chuan's eyebrows rose. "Not enough speed" this bit he can understand! But the phrase "best time” is too abstract that he couldn't comprehend it. 

This time, he patiently dribbles closer to Reese. Although Reese looks very relaxed, Nie Chuan knows that this guy's reaction speed is extremely fast. His judgment is also so accurate that any planned fake actions would be impossible to get by him. Instead of constantly being predicted by the opponent, it's better to throw caution to the wind!

Nie Chuan dribbled the ball in front of Reese then straightforwardly attempted to pa.s.s him. It looked like suicide! 

Reese immediately followed as if he expected it and even blocked Nie Chuan's move to dodge to the left. 

Suddenly, Nie Chuan accelerated, changing direction for the second time, and pa.s.sed the ball behind his back to his other hand! Not only did this move require not seeing the ball, it also needed speed and strength, but Nie Chuan was able to do it under such a tense situation! 

Even Carlo, who stood on the sidelines, widened his eyes in surprise. He was unable to exclaim “How is this possible?” when the speed of Reese immediately surpa.s.sed Nie Chuan. Not only did he intercept Nie Chuan's ball, he even swiveled in the shorter guy's way.

Reese took the ball past him very fast. When Nie Chuan intercepted him, he had a premonition that he would get sent flying but Reese easily avoided Nie Chuan. When Reese's speed weakened, Nie Chuan thought that his opportunity came, but Reese accelerated again, breaking through Nie Chuan's defense with ease and made a high jump.

The air around Reese seem to boil as all eyes and heartbeats were drawn to and torn by his figure. Only a “deng” sound was heard as the basket swayed violently. 

Driven by Reese's inertia as he bypa.s.sed him, Nie Chuan fell on the ground. 

Under the light, he saw the keen figure of Reese that was full of strength like an executioner of G.o.d. 

“My G.o.d… did you see it? It's really amazing… too unbelievable… G.o.d!" 

“Did you get the video? My hand was sore and I accidentally turned off my phone, ahh I'm so stupid!” 

“I got it! I got it! He'd be a match for Derrick Rose!” 

At this time, Nie Chuan couldn't hear anything as his mind was still replaying the second time Reese Reddington accelerated past him. Many people will likely need to slow down the video to see clearly but for Nie Chuan, every moment is disa.s.sembled in his mind until it was in slow motion. 

This person had bypa.s.sed him casually. His control of the basketball and his own body was not on the same level as Nie Chuan at all. 

The basketball rolled to Nie Chuan's side as Reese Reddington walked in front of him. He just glanced at Nie Chuan faintly then went to Carlo, who was outside the court. Reaching for his coat, he then flung it behind him and draped it on his shoulders before departing coolly. 

Carol followed after him. While walking, he did not forget to look back at Nie Chuan and wink his eye. 

If Nie Chuan was a girl, he might have been fascinated by Carlo's peach blossom eyes, but unfortunately he is a man. 

Zhou Bin and Mao Xian rushed over to help Nie Chuan up from the ground.

“Achuan! Are you okay?” Zhou Bin asked worriedly. 

“Fine…” 

Nie Chuan lowered his head and rubbed his eyes but the image in his mind of Reese Reddington jumping was like a brand, making his eyes hurt. 

“Achuan? What happened to you? It didn't seem like that Reese Reddington hit your eyes ah!” 

“I'm fine, really…” 

No matter how many times he rubbed his eyes, that moment when Reese bypa.s.sed him was incomparably clear. 

Nie Chuan felt that his mind was like a projector as it repeatedly replayed Reese Reddington's dribble while in his ear was the sound of his dunk.
