A basketball game played like this meant no one cared about winning or losing anymore. When it was the host's team's possession, they just tossed the ball, and regardless of whether it went in or not, the possession changed hands.
Then, the ball ended up in Chen Xu's hands.
"One more, one more..."
The surrounding colleagues and passersby who came to watch the excitement shouted loudly. The most enthusiastic was Dai Zixin, her face flushed with excitement, her voice almost cracking.
Chen Xu's ten consecutive high-difficulty three-pointers had already ignited the atmosphere. Everyone was waiting to see him perform.
After receiving the ball, he strolled to the center line, dribbling the ball, raised his left hand, and said, "I've been playing all day, I'm out of energy. This is the last shot."
As he spoke, he beckoned to the person who had been guarding him, signaling him to come over.
Shoot from the center court line? The man was stunned at first, then he understood what Chen Xu meant, and a vein throbbed on his forehead. Too arrogant. He was actually asking him to come forward to defend.
How could he tolerate this?
He didn't hold back, sticking to Chen Xu fiercely, squeezing him hard, and raising his hands to try to interfere.
He refused to believe that such a lucky shot could be made eleven times in a row.
Chen Xu used the same move, using his left hand to push against the other person's chest, creating a little space, finding an opportunity to shoot, and throwing the basketball towards the basket with all his might.
The moment the basketball left his hand, not only the surrounding audience, but also the others on the court, looked up at the basketball.
The entire basketball court suddenly fell silent.
The person defending him also looked up, watching the basketball's arc, which was ridiculously high. A thought flashed through his mind: there's no way it's going in this time, right?
Soon, the basketball passed over his head. His gaze followed the slightly spinning basketball, and unconsciously, his head tilted further and further back.
When the basketball in the air reached its highest point and began to fall, he lost his balance and fell backward.
Swish—
When the basketball flew into the hoop, he happened to land on his butt, looking dazed. No way, it went in?
"Wow—"
A burst of exclamations came from the sidelines, followed by enthusiastic applause.
Chen Xu stepped forward, extended his hand, and helped the person sitting on the ground with a confused expression, showing a friendly smile. Then, he said to the others, "Let's call it a day, everyone must be tired."
"I still wanted to see you make a few more Godly Balls." One of the hosts, who was clearly the leader, said with a smile, "Today was truly an eye-opener. That was awesome. I've been playing ball for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen something like that."
Chen Xu laughed, "It's all luck."
The others said that having that kind of luck was enough to brag about for a lifetime.
No one thought he really had that kind of accuracy. Even the most accurate shooter among professional athletes couldn't guarantee making every shot like that.
On the way back to the hotel, Chen Xu clearly felt that he was the center of attention among his colleagues. This kind of treatment was something he had never experienced, whether in school or after starting work.
He had to admit, this feeling wasn't bad at all.
Back at the hotel, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Chen Xu was lucky. Originally, two people were supposed to share a room, but there were exactly thirteen men in the department. He ended up with a room to himself.
Around seven o'clock, a notice was sent in the group chat to gather at the place for dinner.
Luo Xiyun had booked a private room with two tables, just enough to seat everyone.
The dishes were very rich, allowing Chen Xu to once again witness her generosity. After the beer was served, the atmosphere became even more lively, almost like a gathering of friends.
After this day of activities, Chen Xu was somewhat impressed with Luo Xiyun. Although she was strict at work, she wasn't rigid. This Team Building activity could be considered a great success.
Especially after that basketball game, Chen Xu could feel that his colleagues had a certain sense of belonging to this group, and there was more understanding between them.
Like him, before this, he was only relatively familiar with Dai Zixin. With other colleagues, it was just a working relationship, and there was always a layer of separation.
After this day, the sense of separation between him and his colleagues had disappeared a lot. After drinking some wine, they could joke with each other.
After everyone had their fill, Luo Xiyun stood up and announced, "At eight o'clock, everyone gather at Chen Xu's place. The next activity is a group hot spring. Now, let's disperse."
Everyone wasn't surprised. When they were notified yesterday, they were specifically reminded to bring their swimsuits. They were all young people, so their acceptance was quite high.
Back in their room, Chen Xu saw that there was still time, so he called Dai Zixin to do a live broadcast in the hotel lobby together.
They had originally scheduled the live broadcast for Thursday. They had already told Dai Zixin's fans. But they ran into the Team Building, so they could only squeeze it in.
At this time, there weren't many people in the hotel lobby. Chen Xu set up the props on one side. Dai Zixin was already there doing the live broadcast, warming up the audience.
After Chen Xu was ready, he gave her a gesture, and the camera turned over.
"Hello everyone, we meet again."
Chen Xu gave a simple greeting and said, "A few days ago, I performed darts for everyone. I believe everyone still has an impression. But, I heard Zixin say that there are still many people who doubt the authenticity of that performance. They think I cheated."
"I think it's normal. After all, after seeing such a performance, you will definitely think, Damn, how can there be such an awesome person in this world? This is unscientific, it must be fake, cheating."
Dai Zixin, who was holding the phone to film him, almost couldn't help but laugh. These days, she would find time to do live broadcasts, and she was very angry when she saw many barrages questioning the authenticity of Chen Xu's blindfolded dart throwing.
Because there were too many people in the live broadcast room stirring up trouble, she was also very worried, and she had mentioned it to Chen Xu. At that time, he didn't seem to care much, but he didn't expect that he would directly start fighting back as soon as he came up.
At this time, she saw "666" and "There is such a shameless person in the world" starting to flood the barrage...
Chen Xu continued, "But, understanding is understanding, it doesn't mean I can pretend that nothing happened. I also have little emotions, okay? Originally, I received a lot of gifts last time, and I was very happy, planning to perform for everyone again. But, after knowing that someone questioned me, I'm not happy. So, this performance is gone."
Dai Zixin, who was in charge of filming, saw that the live broadcast room was flooding the screen again, and many people started throwing gifts. The popularity was also constantly increasing. Her face bloomed with a smile, and she couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
