Chapter 387
Ye Zhi lowered her head in disappointment as Gu Ren caught a glimpse of Ye Zhi’s expression and said in a low voice, “It doesn’t matter, you did a good job.”
Ye Zhi looked up and saw Gu Ren’s eyes that shone with a starking deep light, “You managed to shoot all three shots; that accuracy rate is already sky high.”
At this time, Gu Ren slightly raised his jaw and his eyes were extremely bright, contrasting their deepness, “We exceeded the time, so what? We have a second chance anyways.”
Gu Ren said the next sentence word by word, “Who’s to say that we wouldn’t succeed in our second challenge?”
The negative emotions in Ye Zhi’s heart dissipated as the corners of her lips lifted, “We will definitely succeed.”
After Ye Zhi and Gu Ren discussed their tactics further, they decided to switch roles for the second try— Ye Zhi would drive while Gu Ren was in charge of shooting the ball.
Gu Ren lowered his eyes and pondered. In order to save time, he should not open the door to get out of the car, which meant that the best way to complete the challenge was to make the basket directly from the car.
However, the technical requirements for the shooter to score were relatively high. Compared with shooting the ball from the ground, the body was prone to lose its balance when done in a car.
But this was the most time-conserving way he could think of at the moment.
Gu Ren looked at Ye Zhi, “In a moment, try to stop the car as close to the hoop as possible.”
Ye Zhi didn’t ask him anything else. She completely believed in Gu Ren’s decision and responded directly, “Okay.”
At the beginning of the second challenge, Ye Zhi drove around the basketball court. The moment the car stopped, Gu Ren suddenly straightened and stood up directly from the car. Facing the bright sunlight, he squinted slightly.
The audience didn’t expect that Gu Ren would choose to remain in the car and actually decide to make the shots from there. Everyone could not help but hold their breath.
Gu Ren raised his face and his jaw tightened. His lips pursed into a cold arc and his black eyes were fixed on the hoop that was situated not far away. At this time, he raised his slender hands that held the basketball, accenting his clean and long fingers.
Gu Ren looked straight at the hoop. Slowly, he raised his hands and bent his elbow, making the basketball gradually move up as he stopped his movements when it reached his chin.
Amidst the quiet light, Gu Ren’s eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a cold aura like snow. The sunlight beamed and accentuated the charmingly bewitching lines of his Adam’s apple.
The man who was as cool as a cedar tree, at this moment, gave off the fatal wave attractions of hormones.
Finally, the light refocused on Gu Ren’s hands as he clasped the basketball in his hands, staring straight ahead for a brief moment.
Gu Ren threw it forward gently and the basketball flew out of his hand, drawing a smooth and perfect arc in the air, as if a blue bird swiftly swept across the azure sky.
The basketball slammed itself straight onto the backboard. The same time as a dull sound rang out, the basketball shifted inwards by a few centimetres and fell into the net without error.
With a few sounds of flaps from the netting, the basketball fell vertically and hit the ground.
The whole area was silent.
Gu Ren’s thin lips hooked lightly— he took an extremely risky method, but he succeeded.
He managed to shoot and score the first basket.
The moment Gu Ren’s basketball entered the net, the barrage poured out frantically.
