The forward immediately ran out to meet the guard.
The guard passed the ball to the forward.
Facing Wang Fugui's defense, the forward had a decisive height advantage. He could have ignored Wang Fugui and shot directly, but he didn't.
Instead, he looked for an opportunity to pass the ball to the guard.
His Three-point Percentage wasn't high. He'd been playing the game for over a month, and his Three-point Percentage was only 7%.
In real life, he played center and specialized in scoring near the basket. He hardly ever shot threes. Making him shoot from beyond the arc now was asking the impossible.
Wang Yi and Nicole had both noticed this. They tightly double-teamed the guard, giving him no chance to receive the ball.
The forward had no choice but to grit his teeth and shoot.
Thump!
The basketball slammed hard against the rim.
Fortunately, the center was under the basket. He jumped, grabbed the rebound, and tossed it to the forward, who shot again.
Thump!
This time, the ball hit the backboard directly without even touching the rim. He'd obviously put too much force into it.
Fortunately, the center grabbed the rebound and tossed it to the forward again. This time, the forward dialed back the power a little.
The ball traced a perfect arc through the air.
Swish!
The ball made a lovely sound as it brushed against the net, like a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman sparking a romance.
It was a sound every shooter loved to hear.
But the ball hadn't gone through the hoop and brushed the net on its way down. It had missed the basket entirely and landed right on top of the net.
The shot had been too flat and too fast, catching even the center off guard.
