Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 883: Chapter 884: Turning Defeat into Victory

The overtime game began, and the summer university women’s basketball team suddenly changed their Formation.

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, this Formation was actually the Heaven-reliant Formation from Emei, a protective formation of their sect based on the Heaven-Defying Sword Technique—offense as sharp as a knife’s edge, defense as solid as a rock.

Clearly, these five players had just come into contact with this Formation; their use of it was not very adept. Despite this, they still caused a lot of trouble for the Zhonghai women’s basketball team.

Within this Formation, Li Fangfei was like a sharp dagger, constantly piercing through the Zhonghai women’s basketball team’s defensive line.

Lin Chen directed the Zhonghai women’s basketball team to use the Three Talents Formation for offense and the Locking Gold Formation for defense, which finally curbed the scoring momentum of the summer university team.

However, by the overtime game, the stamina of the summer university women’s basketball players gradually began to falter.

While the Heaven-reliant Formation was powerful, running it required a considerable amount of physical strength. Having fought hard for four quarters, all the players were running on fumes; they simply didn’t have enough energy to support such a strong Formation.

In contrast, the Zhonghai women’s basketball team seemed to be getting stronger as the game progressed, especially since these two Formations were practiced by the Zhonghai team daily and were executed very smoothly.

The score, after a brief tug-of-war, finally began to slip from the summer university’s control as their players struggled to keep up with Li Fangfei’s pace, and their Formation became disorganized.

The Zhonghai women’s basketball team naturally did not miss this opportunity, continually tearing through the summer university’s defense to score.

Although Li Fangfei was incredibly strong, it was still just her alone.

The Zhonghai women’s basketball team, with its players in perfect sync, constantly avoided direct confrontation with Li Fangfei on offense through passing and when on defense, Wang Zixuan and An Xiaodi would closely mark Li Fangfei whenever she had the ball.

The score quickly widened, reaching 85 to 70.

Li Fangfei, panting heavily, looked towards Lin Chen in the coaching area.

At this moment, Lin Chen appeared calm and composed, continuously issuing instructions to every player through his voice that carried over great distances.

This not only corrected positioning mistakes on the court but also allowed the five players to coordinate even more tacitly.

Now, Li Fangfei finally realized that she had encountered a very tough opponent.

In the spectator stands, as the Zhonghai women’s basketball team overturned the score and widened the gap, every face showed a shocked expression.

After all, summer university was the three-time defending champion, yet they were being upset by a dark horse.

”The head coach of the Zhonghai women’s basketball team is really something!” an elderly woman in the stands said, eyes intently focused on the game.

This elderly woman, with her silver hair, had an unfathomable depth of cultivation; she was the head coach of the Shujiang women’s basketball team, as well as an elder of Shushan, Granny Qiu Yun.

Granny Qiu Yun was extremely shocked by Lin Chen; he was just a young man in his early twenties, yet he was proficient in so many Formations.

Whether it was the Three Talents Formation or the Eight Gates Locking Gold Formation, these were almost lost ancient Formations, yet this young man used them effortlessly.

Although Li Fangfei was reluctant to admit defeat, the score between the two teams continued to widen, and in the end, the Zhonghai women’s basketball team won a big victory over summer university with the score of 105 to 86.

As the game ended, summer university suffered an unexpectedly heavy defeat.

The players on the court sat down on the ground and cried out in pain, while Li Fangfei looked at the scoreboard with a vacant gaze, still unable to believe what had just happened.

Seeing the heartbroken summer university women’s basketball team, Lin Chen felt a tinge of guilt.

In truth, the Zhonghai women’s basketball team could be said to have won because Lin Chen had ’cheated’ for them; otherwise, based on their real abilities, they weren’t truly a match for their opponents.

But there was no helping it, Lin Chen had to win; he couldn’t afford to lose, nor was it an option for him.

Watching the Zhonghai women’s basketball team excitingly hugging each other on the court, Lin Chen smiled.

Although he had used some means, Lin Chen knew that only through the players’ hard practice could such a miracle occur.

Otherwise, no matter how skilled Lin Chen is, it would be very difficult to bring about a qualitative transformation in a team with no fighting power.

Although the Shushan women’s basketball team was unreconciled, the game was over, and the players had left the court, only Li Fangfei was still unwillingly staring at the scoreboard.

Suddenly, she punched the wall beside her, immediately adding a crack to its surface.

With fury in her eyes, Li Fangfei approached Lin Chen and said coldly, ”Lin Chen, don’t be too pleased with yourself, I will take revenge on you.”

Lin Chen was speechless. Was he feeling smug? He hadn’t even cracked a smile.

The Zhonghai women’s basketball team’s unexpected victory sent a shockwave through the entire stadium, and reporters swarmed in.

Especially Ning Wenjing, who, as soon as the game finished, hooked her hand onto Lin Chen’s arm to prevent him from escaping again.

Looking at his nemesis, Lin Chen was speechless: ”Beauty, this could lead to misunderstandings.”

Ning Wenjing didn’t care at all: ”So what? If I don’t do this, you’ll run away again.”

Lin Chen, facing dozens of microphones with a troubled expression, whispered to Ning Wenjing: ”Don’t you want an exclusive interview? Help me get out of here, and I will accept your exclusive interview.”

Ning Wenjing, wary, finally nodded and released her tight grip on Lin Chen’s hand.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Chen pulled Jiang Qian over to use her as a human shield while he slipped into the crowd.

Not until he stepped out of the basketball court did Lin Chen finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Ning Wenjing also hurriedly followed: ”Coach Lin, you should fulfill your promise now.”

Lin Chen nodded: ”Okay, I can answer three questions for you.”

”What? But you promised me an exclusive interview,” Ning Wenjing was somewhat dissatisfied.

Lin Chen’s face showed an uncompromising expression: ”You have one minute to think of three questions.”

Ning Wenjing stamped her foot in vexation, realizing she had been tricked again.

She knew all too well Lin Chen’s speed. If he decided to run now, she definitely wouldn’t be able to catch him.

”First question, how did you turn an ordinary team into a strong one?” Ning Wenjing thought for a moment and asked.

”Because they were already strong, they just hadn’t encountered a good coach. I merely brought out their potential, and of course, there’s another very important reason,” Lin Chen said with a smile.

Lin Chen’s answer was very perfunctory, and Ning Wenjing couldn’t find any newsworthy content in it, but her eyes lit up when Lin Chen mentioned another important reason, and she asked casually, ”What reason?”

”That counts as the second question. It is the power of spirit,” Lin Chen said with a serious look.

”The power of spirit? Can you explain that to me?” Ning Wenjing asked with a perplexed expression.

Lin Chen smirked smugly, ”Don’t you think I’m handsome? They all want to perform well so they can marry me!”

”Oh come on, what kind of answer is this!” Ning Wenjing was instantly furious. She was about to continue with her questioning but Lin Chen gestured with his hand.

”Alright, three questions are up, I’m off.” As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen turned and merged into the departing crowd.

Looking at her interview notes, Ning Wenjing stomped her foot in frustration: ”What is this nonsense, there’s nothing of substance.”

Lin Chen followed the stream of people into an alleyway, but after just a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

”Whoever is sneaking around, come out!” Lin Chen said coldly.
