Classmate Huang went to inbound the ball. After passing it to Classmate Guan, Guan immediately handed it right back to Huang, then turned sideways to set a screen for him.
Classmate Huang got an open look from beyond the three-point line.
The opposing defenders didn't pay much attention to him, either.
That gave Classmate Huang a pretty wide-open chance to shoot a three.
Although his first two shots had missed, he didn't hesitate for a moment this time and let it fly.
The basketball once again traced a beautiful arc, then slammed hard against the front of the rim with a bang.
Five or six players bunched together under the basket, all trying to grab the rebound.
The ball bounced high off the front of the rim, fell onto the back rim, then sprang high into the air again. After that, it bounced back and forth between the front and back of the rim five or six times.
At last, it dropped silently through the hoop.
Classmate Huang hit the three!
The lead instantly shrank to three points.
After making the three, Classmate Huang swung his right hand through the air and roared:
"AAAHHHHH!"
The gym was already cavernous, and his roar echoed through it for a long time.
That roar, together with the cut in the lead to three points, sent the players on Team Three soaring with energy.
By contrast, the players on Team One were all a little annoyed.
"So what if he made a three? I thought he'd hit a game-winner."
"You have to understand. He's never made a three before. It's his first one, so you can't begrudge him a celebration."
"We'll teach him a lesson in a minute!"
As they spoke, the players from Team One once again brought the ball across half court.
