Chapter 135 Open Your Eyes
As the game progressed, Charles somehow always managed to snatch the ball whether it was a teammate's ball or an opponent's ball, as long as someone was dribbling in front of him
"Damn it, how did he steal the ball again? Hurry up and defend. Don't let him dunk!" Alfonso roared.
This time, Charles didn't dunk but made a precise three-pointer, nothing but net!
"Damn, isn't he supposed to be only good at dunking? Why is his three-pointer so accurate too?"
"It must be luck. Let's go again!"
The ball went in again!
Charles' three-pointers were almost always on target, so consistently accurate that it was almost unbelievable.
Not only that, his dribbling speed increased with each moment, and his skills—rebounding, blocking, faking, guarding, charging, long-distance shooting, alley-oop dunks—were performed with such flair that it seemed exaggerated. As soon as Charles’s figure flashed by, the ball in your hands was gone, almost as if he had stolen it without you even noticing.
Whether he was playing against teammates or opponents, Charles functioned like a one-man team against nine.
Half an hour later, the entire crowd of onlookers was left in a state of shock, almost petrified by his performance.
"He's amazing, I don't even know how to describe it!"
"I calculated that, in just half an hour, Charles made five dunks, six rebounds, seven blocks, fifteen steals, and eleven three-pointers without missing a single one. Damn, even NBA stars aren't this good, right?"
"Why do I feel like he's playing against amateurs, one against nine?"
"Can basketball be played like this? So, a truly amazing player doesn't need teammates?"
At this moment, the nine school basketball team members felt a deep sense of helplessness and started to question themselves. 'Charles isn't human, but a freak. How could one person train his basketball skills to such a level, beyond our imagination? Dunking, blocking, stealing, three-pointers always on target, and even more absurdly, every time Alfonso shot, Charles could swat the ball away from the hoop?? It is just ridiculous!'
"I'm done. Playing basketball with this freak hurts my self-esteem!" Victor wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying with a heartbroken expression.
Despite his height of over 75 inches, he couldn't even get a rebound in front of Charles, it was just frustrating.
"I don't want to play anymore either, I feel like a rookie!" another player said.
"Alfonso, it's not that we don't want to help you. It's just that we really can't win!"
Alfonso's face twisted into a look of disgust.
He thought Charles was extremely cunning.
At the beginning of the 1V1, he only showed strong jumping ability, but his ball control was clumsy, and he wasn't good at defense, making him seem like a rookie.
So Alfonso judged that in a 5V5, Charles' rookie level would be exposed, and he could regain his ground.
'But I walked right into his trap. How could someone who could do a 360-degree dunk not know how to play basketball? He deliberately made me underestimate him. When the real game started, Charles revealed his full strength, humiliating me in front of everyone.' Alfonso thought.
"The so-called Campus Prince—if this is all you’ve got, you don’t even deserve to show off. You can’t even beat a newbie who hasn’t played basketball for two days. You should stop embarrassing yourself!" Charles taunted without restraint.
'If it were someone else, I wouldn't have deliberately taunted them. But this guy almost hit me with his car, didn't apologize, and even flipped the bird? Driving a Pagani Huayra and thinking he's all that? I don't care about him at all.' Charles thought.
"You..." Alfonso was furious.
'This fucker's way too arrogant and despicable,' Alfonso thought.
"Alfonso, don't be impulsive. Don't fight him, we can't beat him!" Leo tugged at Alfonso's shirt, sweating nervously.
"Leo, are you that scared? He offended you, don't you want revenge?" Alfonso asked.
"It's not that, Alfonso, I already took revenge on him. That day I called twenty people to block him, and he beat them all up by himself. Some of our guys are still in the hospital!" Leo explained.
Hearing this, Alfonso was stunned!
'Although I have heard similar rumors at school these past few days, I thought they were just exaggerations. Who could fight twenty people alone? Even special forces aren’t that impressive, right? But hearing it from Leo, I realize that Charles’s explosive performance just now is indeed extraordinary. If we really fought, we might end up suffering,' Alfonso thought.
"We're civilized people, so we won't resort to fighting. Charles, I admit you're good at basketball, but that's all. In front of me, you're still nothing. You probably don't even know who I am!" Alfonso spat.
Charles responded without hesitation, "I think you probably don't know who I am either!"
Alfonso tried to flaunt his background, but Charles wasn’t impressed.
'You're just the second son of the Sullivan Group, with a family fortune of a billion dollars, and you're only the second child. You don’t even know how much you'll inherit. I've spent almost two hundred million dollars in just over half a month! What is the Sullivan Group compared to that? Believe it or not, I could buy your company and give it away to a girl!' Charles thought disdainfully.
"Alright, no one has ever dared to be so arrogant in front of me. You're the first, and I believe you'll be the last!" Alfonso said harshly leaving the basketball court with a gloomy look.
'From today on, my position as the top Campus Prince might be in jeopardy!' Alfonso thought.
"Did you manage to record Charles' dunk just now?" a girl asked.
"No, I was too engrossed in the game to remember!"
"I recorded it. I'm going to post it on TikTok!"
While a group of girls were chatting, Charles suddenly disappeared.
'When else would I have such an opportunity to slip away?' Charles thought.
"Charles disappeared so quickly! I was about to offer him some water!" Emily stomped her foot and said. Then, she noticed with surprise that Jessica, Pamela, Lisa, and several other girls held water bottles in their hands too.
But Charles was already gone!
