Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 869: Chapter 870: Elimination Round

Lin Chen gave a faint smile: ”This time you can entrust Zixuan to me with confidence. Give me a month, and I’ll return a little monster to you.”

Fairy Mu Yun nodded: ”Since that’s the case, I’ll hand Zixuan over to you and hope you can surprise me.”

Lin Chen and Wang Zixuan returned to school, and the Huaxia Women’s University basketball tournament had already begun.

Even without Lin Chen and Wang Zixuan, the Zhonghai women’s basketball team still cut through the competition and made it into the top sixteen.

The upcoming games were all knockout rounds, and Jiang Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Chen and Wang Zixuan’s return.

”You’re finally back. I could handle the previous teams, but the upcoming teams are all extremely strong, and I can’t handle them alone,” said Jiang Qian.

Lin Chen smiled: ”What can’t you handle? I believe in you.”

”Coach Lin, the next opponent is the Nanshan women’s basketball team. This team was the third place in the last Huaxia women’s basketball tournament, and this time they won all their group matches by double digits,” Jiang Qian said.

Lin Chen nodded: ”Hmm, it seems their strength is indeed not bad. For you, they are a good Philosopher’s Stone.”

”What Philosopher’s Stone? They are formidable opponents,” corrected Jiang Qian.

Lin Chen smiled faintly and sat on the coach’s bench: ”This game, you’re still in charge of the commands, I’ll be the audience.”

”Coach, you’re being too irresponsible, this is a knockout round,” all the players exclaimed through gritted teeth.

This coach is truly irresponsible, vanishing with key players as the tournament approached, and appearing indifferent in the face of tough opponents.

To think of the countless hard work everyone has put in these past few months to achieve today’s results, yet this guy failed at the crucial moment.

Lin Chen with his legs crossed said: ”If you can’t handle such a lousy team on your own, then it’s better to get out early. Also, you are not allowed to use any Formation in this game without my permission.”

”What? No Formation!” Jiang Qian and some others were momentarily at a loss for words.

Even during the group matches, the Zhonghai women’s basketball team had struggled without using Formations, barely clinching victories with narrow margins, let alone facing such strong opponents without Formations now.

However, Lin Chen was the coach after all. Although several players were puzzled, they had no choice but to warm up.

Seeing their frustrated expressions, Lin Chen felt amused within.

His gaze landed on the spectator’s stands, where today a few figures with extraordinary aura were hidden, evidently here to scout the enemy.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the basketball hall was fiery hot. Since all players from the Zhonghai women’s basketball team were stunning beauties, their games never lacked an audience or cheerleaders.

What surprised Lin Chen more was that aside from students, quite a few officials were also present at the game.

Lin Chen knew that the reason this basketball game was given such importance was definitely related to some factions’ involvement.

Even though these factions do not engage in worldly affairs, they represent powerful influence in both the political and business spheres. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they are the backbone of these elites.

Therefore, it was no surprise that this game attracted such attention.

However, what troubled him the most were the reporters, especially the beautiful female reporter who had been bitterly staring at him since last time, obviously holding a grudge about being fooled by him.

Sure enough, seeing Lin Chen, the beautiful female reporter quickly came over: ”Coach Lin, you really tricked me badly last time.”

Lin Chen gave an awkward smile: ”Really? I’m truly sorry about last time.”

Ning Wenjing huffed: ”Last time, Coach Lin, that ’Gold Cicada Shedding’ move really broadened my horizons, and I even got a scolding. So, this time you owe me an exclusive interview.”

Lin Chen nodded: ”Okay, okay, I’ll definitely accept your interview when I have time, but look, the game is about to start, and I need to set up the strategy, you see.”

Ning Wenjing huffed again: ”Coach Lin, I hope you keep your promise this time, otherwise, I won’t let you off.”

With that, Ning Wenjing and the cameraman moved to the seats closest to Lin Chen’s bench, her gaze fixed tightly on Lin Chen, afraid that he would run away again.

With a whistle, the game finally began, and Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to watch the game in peace.

The game heated up immediately as it started.

The players of the Huaxia Women’s University basketball team, although slender in stature, had enhanced jumping abilities and were stronger in confrontation due to Lin Chen’s training compared to ordinary players.

But this time, they were up against a very formidable opponent.

The Nanshan Women’s Basketball team members were all tall and robust; Lin Chen even doubted if these individuals were really women.

Additionally, these women’s basketball players played fiercely, both offensive and defensive tactics were extremely aggressive.

Although the Huaxia Women’s players were very agile, they couldn’t avoid physical collisions.

Such collisions excited the audience exceedingly.

In such fierce confrontations, it was inevitable that some racy scenes appeared, especially with the Huaxia Women’s team being pulled around by the amazons, causing certain parts of their clothing to expose unexpectedly, making the male audience who were focusing on them howl continuously.

Under such a strong onslaught from the Nanshan Women’s team, the Huaxia Women’s team played very conservatively, falling behind considerably in score—had it not been for Wang Zixuan and An Xiaodi pulling things back, the score difference could have even reached double digits. Instead, they were still trailing by 9 points at 18 to 27.

”The Huaxia Women’s team isn’t much after all, letting a team without martial artists play them so hard,” a girl in Adidas sportswear muttered from the stands.

”Do you really think this is the true strength of the Huaxia Women’s team? Haven’t you noticed that their performance is too by-the-book?” a tall girl seated next to her said.

”So what if they have a great coach? Can he turn a bunch of cats into tigers?” the Adidas girl said disdainfully.

The tall girl smiled faintly: ”Well, that might not be impossible. That guy might actually have such ability.”

”How about I test that coach later and see if he’s really that miraculous?” the Adidas girl chuckled.

”Don’t mess around, let’s just watch the game,” the tall girl said.

”Can I at least go to the restroom first?” the Adidas girl said as she stood up.

At the end of the second quarter, the score difference between Huaxia Women’s Basketball and Nanshan widened to 11 points.

Watching the anxious expressions on the girls’ faces, Lin Chen smiled lightly: ”Alright, the warm-up is over, now you can use the formation. Let’s show them the power of the Three Talents Formation!”

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, the faces of the girls lit up with excitement.

This game has been too depressing; the rough play of the Nanshan team ignited some fire in every Huaxia Women’s team player.

As the game restarted, everyone noticed that this Huaxia Women’s team seemed a bit different from before.
