Chapter 117: Tang Feng Leads the Mathematics Department to Win the Campus Basketball Championship! (Part 3/4)

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli arrived at the competition venue.

Gao Cheng and the others were already waiting there.

“Captain!” Seeing Tang Feng, they all went up to greet him.

“How is it? Does everyone have confidence in winning the game?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“As long as you’re here, there’s definitely no problem,” Gao Cheng responded.

“I won’t play at first; you guys start! I’ll see how things go! If we’re still behind by the fourth quarter, I’ll join in,” Tang Feng arranged.

Gao Cheng and the others nodded.

Students from both the Mathematics and Physics Departments were eagerly awaiting the start.

Soon, the game began.

Just as Gao Cheng said, the Mathematics and Physics Departments were evenly matched.

Despite Tang Feng having provided them with a training plan, there wasn’t much effect in such a short time.

The score of both teams kept rising alternately.

By the end of the third quarter, the score was 52:56.

The Mathematics Department was behind by four points.

“Captain, you should join in now! Otherwise, we might be eliminated in the first game,” Gao Cheng said.

“I’ll feed you the ball later; you just focus on shooting,” Tang Feng nodded and said.

“Aren’t you going to shoot?” Gao Cheng was a bit puzzled.

“Right now, I want to improve your basketball skills. If I choose to shoot myself, then what’s left for you?” Tang Feng laughed.

“That makes sense. We’ll do as you say!” Gao Cheng responded.

Quickly, the fourth quarter started.

The students of the Mathematics Department cheered wildly upon seeing Tang Feng take the field.

“Mathematics Department must win!”

“Mathematics Department must win!”

Everyone started chanting along.

The students from the Physics Department also didn’t want to show weakness.

The shouting from both sides rose and fell in waves.

The Physics Department’s players’ expressions became grave upon seeing Tang Feng.

After all, stories about Tang Feng were widespread across the campus.

Wang Liang from the Computer Science Department and his two teammates, all three together, didn’t score a single point against Tang Feng!

This also showed how formidable Tang Feng’s strength was!

The fourth quarter began.

The Physics Department’s players focused all their attention on Tang Feng.

They barely paid any mind to the other players from the Mathematics Department.

Once Tang Feng got the ball, three of the opposing team’s players immediately surrounded him.

Tang Feng didn’t choose to break through but passed the ball to his teammates instead.

They were the ones to make the shots.

Quickly, the Mathematics Department’s score surpassed the Physics Department’s!

And the gap in the score kept widening!

Toward the end, the Physics Department’s players simply gave up resisting.

The game entered garbage time.

In the end, the Mathematics Department won the game with a score of 86:72!

The students from the Mathematics Department couldn’t help but cheer and jump for joy.

Winning the first game was good news for the Mathematics Department’s team members.

Su Xiaoli also came forward to congratulate Tang Feng.

Tang Feng said goodbye to Gao Cheng and the others and left with Su Xiaoli.

“I don’t think Tang Feng is as amazing as the rumors say! Under the defense of three players from the Physics Department, he could only pass the ball to his teammates, completely unable to break through,” someone started to analyze after the game.

“It seems the Mathematics Department will have a hard time winning the championship. The Physical Education College could probably shut down Tang Feng by themselves. Without Tang Feng’s assists, the Mathematics Department might be badly defeated.”

“I wonder where Tang Feng will put his face then!”

“People should stay low-key, never boast too much! Otherwise, the only one who will be embarrassed is themselves!”

“Tang Feng’s individual skill is still very strong. It’s just that his teammates aren’t up to par.”

“Basketball is a team sport; what’s the use of being strong individually! Why is the Physical Education College so formidable? Apart from Huang Dongliang, the other four players are also very strong! If the Physical Education College relied only on Huang Dongliang, they definitely wouldn’t win the championship.”

“That’s true. If I teamed up with Huang Dongliang, we probably couldn’t even beat the weakest team.”

Clearly, many students were skeptical about Tang Feng and didn’t have much hope for the Mathematics Department’s future!

Little did they know, it wasn’t that Tang Feng wasn’t strong enough, but that he was thinking further ahead than they were!

After all, Tang Feng’s goal was to lead Gao Cheng and the others to represent Jingcheng University in the National College Basketball League!

And to win the championship!

Of course, to win the championship, relying solely on Tang Feng’s strength was not enough!

The cooperation of his teammates was also needed!

Therefore, he had to take this time to feed his teammates more balls, to improve their basketball skills!

In the following three games, Tang Feng continued with this strategy, constantly feeding the ball to his teammates, allowing them to score!

Naturally, this led to more and more doubts about Tang Feng!

The call for the Mathematics Department to win the championship also grew weaker.

“Boss, tomorrow is the championship battle between the Mathematics Department and the Physical Education College! You’ve got to step up!” When Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli finished their date and returned to the dormitory, Su Ming couldn’t help but shout.

“Zihang, what’s the situation on the BBS forum?” Tang Feng asked.

“How to say… Everyone is not optimistic about the Mathematics Department. After all, if you get shut down by Huang Dongliang, then the Mathematics Department is basically in for a beating,” Zhu Zihang answered.

“Boss, don’t be affected by these comments. I saw quite a few people from the Physical Education College posting, claiming that if the Mathematics Department wins the championship tomorrow, they’ll eat shit,” Zhang Hao said.

“They’re just bluffing! If the Mathematics Department really wins the championship, they won’t eat shit. But the best way to shut them up is to defeat the Physical Education College tomorrow,” Tang Feng laughed.

“Boss, are you still not going to play in the first half tomorrow?” Su Ming asked.

“I will! Not only will I play in the first half, but I will also play the entire game! I want to crush them thoroughly!” Tang Feng’s words were filled with dominance!

In the previous four games, he had been trying to improve his teammates’ basketball skills.

Thus, he faced a lot of skepticism.

Tomorrow’s game was a good opportunity to clear his name!

He wanted to make Huang Dongliang and others understand who the real king of the basketball court was!

The day of the game arrived.

As it was the championship battle, not only students from the Mathematics and Physical Education Colleges came to watch the game.

Students from other departments also came over.

Suddenly, the entire basketball court was surrounded by people, three layers inside and three layers outside.

It was basically all people.

Tang Feng also saw Huang Dongliang.

Huang Dongliang was taller than him, about two meters tall.

His body also seemed more robust.
