Chapter 133: Tang Feng Faints, Su Xiaoli Rushes Over (Part 4/5)

Tang Feng’s formidable strength could be described in four words: terrifyingly powerful. The Australian team was completely overwhelmed, their previous arrogance vanished without a trace.

“Tang Feng, do you need to rest?” Coach Tian discussed with him.

“No!” Tang Feng shook his head, “I must ensure the China team wins this match! There can’t be any accidents.”

“An 18-point lead should be safe even if the opponent goes all out,” Coach Tian mentioned.

“Even if there’s only a one percent chance, I won’t give the opponent that opportunity!” Tang Feng declared decisively.

Seeing his determination, Coach Tian no longer insisted.

“Coach Tian, after the match, arrange a car to take me to the airport,” Tang Feng changed the subject.

“Why are you going to the airport?” Coach Tian was puzzled.

“My girlfriend has flown over from Jingcheng. I’m going to pick her up,” Tang Feng explained.

“Ah? Doesn’t your girlfriend have classes?” Coach Tian was surprised.

“Her grades are excellent, so taking a couple of days off shouldn’t be a problem. Of course, she’s coming over probably because I fainted,” Tang Feng explained.

“It seems she really cares about you. After she arrives, you two can have dinner alone,” Coach Tian suggested.

“Of course! She’s coming all the way from Jingcheng to see me; I must accompany her,” Tang Feng smiled.

“Captain, we’re really envious of you! Competing abroad, and your girlfriend even makes a special trip to see you,” Yao Ming joked.

“As if you guys don’t have girlfriends. If your girlfriend wasn’t also competing, she’d definitely be with you,” Tang Feng glanced at him and commented lightly.

Yao Ming, caught off guard, smiled sheepishly.

“Alright! The fourth quarter is about to start! Be careful out there! Especially Tang Feng! You must not get injured! Otherwise, we won’t be able to play the next match!” Coach Tian cautioned them.

“Got it!”

Clearly, the Australian team had given up resistance. The coach, to avoid injuring his main players, put in an entirely reserve lineup.

Facing these reserves, Tang Feng felt even less pressure. Coach Tian saw this and took the opportunity to replace Yao Ming and the others, allowing Tang Feng to lead the reserve players.

This time, Tang Feng chose to assist. With his help, the reserve players scored frequently, growing increasingly excited. In contrast, the opponent played more and more listlessly.

Australian fans in the stands started leaving early, unable to bear watching any longer.

By the end of the match, nearly the entire stadium was chanting Tang Feng’s name. For these fans, Tang Feng was truly a god of basketball. His unyielding will, superb skills, and generous assists moved them deeply.

Tang Feng immediately headed to the airport. Upon arrival and seeing Su Xiaoli waiting alone at the exit, his eyes slightly reddened. A girl had flown such a long distance alone just to see him, and waiting all alone at the exit for so long made him feel somewhat guilty.

He quickly got out of the car and ran to Su Xiaoli, embracing her tightly. Su Xiaoli also wrapped her arms around his waist. They hugged for a long time, attracting the attention of passersby at the airport. Such passionate hugs are quite rare there.

After a while, Tang Feng released her, looking deeply into her eyes, “Silly girl, you came all this way without even saying a word. What if you hadn’t found me?”

“I didn’t care! The moment I saw you collapse, I felt numb. I regret not being by your side to support you immediately!” Su Xiaoli expressed her distress and regret.

“I did act impulsively yesterday. But if I had to do it over, I would make the same choice,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“I know why you did it. I believe all of China knows why! Watching the game in the cafeteria yesterday, everyone was excited to see you and your teammates score. I felt so proud of you! Everyone is really envious of me for having a boyfriend like you,” Su Xiaoli said and couldn’t help but kiss his cheek.

“Let’s go to the hotel!” Tang Feng suggested.

Nodding, Su Xiaoli followed him into the car. Soon, they arrived at the hotel where Tang Feng introduced Su Xiaoli to his coach and teammates.

Coach Tian and Wang Long had met Su Xiaoli before, but it was Yao Ming’s first time.

“Captain, I didn’t expect your girlfriend to be so beautiful! You should share some tips with us one day,” Yao Ming joked.

“If you want to be lectured, wait until I meet your girlfriend. I’ll have a serious talk with her,” Tang Feng responded.

“No, forget I said anything!” Yao Ming quickly backed down.

Everyone laughed at the scene.

“Captain, we’ve already eaten. You and your girlfriend can go straight to the private room and order some dishes,” Wang Long suggested.

“Okay!” Tang Feng agreed, taking Su Xiaoli to the private room.

After a simple meal, Tang Feng asked, “I have a match this afternoon. Will you come with me?”

“Of course. I want to be there for you,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“Then you’ll come with me,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Wouldn’t my presence affect your performance?” Su Xiaoli worried.

“Not at all!” Tang Feng shook his head. “With you by my side, I’ll perform even better!”

“You!” Su Xiaoli playfully chided him.

After finishing their meal, Tang Feng took her to meet up with his teammates.

“Captain, we’ve successfully made it to the semifinals! This afternoon’s opponent is the Southern team. Do you plan to play in the first quarter or wait and see?” Yao Ming discussed with him.

“If I play in the first quarter, the game might quickly become a blowout. You guys go first; I’ll be ready to jump in at any moment,” Tang Feng said, sighing.

Despite his seemingly boastful words, he was telling the truth. No matter the opponent, he was confident he could defeat them.

“Whatever happens, make sure to stay in good shape and avoid injuries! If all goes well, tomorrow’s final will be against America team,” Coach Tian advised Tang Feng.
