The four of us men seemed rather awkward under the gaze of Gao Yang and his gang, but the three girls were all very natural, as if those people didn't exist. I walked to Ai Yi with a basketball and asked her with a bitter look on my face, "Aunt, how are we going to practice today?" Ai Yi looked at me and said, "Practice normally."
Then Ai Yi pointed at Lao Qian and me and said, "You two stand at the zero degree angle and shoot the ball." After that, Ai Yi pointed at Zhang Tong and Dayao and said, "You two stand under the basket and grab the rebounds that they missed. Okay, let's start."
After Ai Yi finished speaking, she returned to the basketball hoop and sat there with Zhang Nuan and Kim Hee Sun. Of course, Gao Yang, who was standing on the sidelines, also saw Kim Hee Sun with Ai Yi, but Gao Yang just stared at her coldly without saying anything and without any expression on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. Kim Hee Sun, who was sitting under the basketball hoop, deliberately did not look at Gao Yang at all, as if Gao Yang was no longer the Oppa she had mentioned before.
I stood there holding the basketball and looking at Gao Yang's deflated face. I felt so good in my heart. It was just like eating beef noodles with pickled cabbage. The sourness and feeling were unimaginable!
But just when I was feeling great, I found that Dayao and Zhang Tong were still standing there without moving, with their mouths tightly shut and unhappy looks on their faces. The two of them stood there like wooden stakes. Ai Yi, who was sitting there, was staring at them with a sullen face, as if she was confronting them. However, it was more like she was forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, as if she would explode with them at any time.
I really didn't expect that these two people would have a quarrel at this time. Although it was a bit embarrassing to be directed by a girl like Ai Yi to do these silly exercises with so many people watching on the sidelines, I don't think this is the time to care about these things. After all, Ai Yi didn't mean to embarrass us here. It's because the venue is gone. Ai Yi happened to see Gao Yang and the others, so she took it down. Thinking of this, I walked towards them with the ball, frowned and whispered to them, what are you two doing standing here, don't you want to practice anymore
Zhang Tong didn't answer me, but raised his chin towards the crowd, meaning that they couldn't continue practicing such silly moves with so many people watching them, it was too embarrassing. Dayao also stood aside and turned his head away, deliberately not looking at me. It seemed that he had the same idea as Zhang Tong and didn't want to practice here.
Seeing the way they looked I couldn't help but get furious. I glared at them, suppressed my unhappiness and whispered to them, you two think this is shameful, then wasn't what happened in Gao Yang's dormitory shameful? Will it be shameful if you lose to Gao Yang on the basketball court later
They seemed to have nothing to say, and Zhang Tong said in a low voice, "Shame on you." I looked at them and took a deep breath, not knowing what to say to them. But then Dayao spoke up, and said to me in a somewhat unconvinced manner, "Why do you have to practice here? Why do you have to take over Gao Yang's place? Isn't this deliberately embarrassing us?"
When I heard Dayao say that, I became even more angry and retorted to him, "Then you go find another venue for me to try. When I came out, there were no vacancies. It's not like she insisted on occupying this venue. It's good enough that she could get this venue. Are you two going to practice or not?"
I left them speechless, but they nodded reluctantly in the end. I took the basketball and went back to my seat. They both walked to the basket reluctantly. I saw that they were still reluctant, but I didn't say anything because I thought as long as they practiced for a while and got into the state, it would be fine. For them, the current situation is already very good. After all, I can't ask everyone to be like me, practicing with deep hatred. Thinking of this, I jumped up and shot. With a bang, the basketball hit the basket and didn't go in. However, the people under the basket who were supposed to grab the rebound seemed to be less angry than me. They just raised their heads symbolically, then raised their hands to grab the ball, and they didn't even jump. Due to their height advantage, Yao Ming easily grabbed the rebound and threw the ball to Lao Qian who was standing on the other side. However, the expression on Ai Yi's face who was sitting on the sidelines was getting worse and worse. Her eyes stared coldly at the two people standing under the basket.
As soon as I saw Ai Yi's expression, I knew she was very dissatisfied with the performance of these two people. I also knew Ai Yi's temper, so I knew that this was a sign that she was about to lose her temper, so I quickly discussed with her and said, "Aunt, why don't we let them shoot first, and Lao Qian and I grab the rebound?"
Because I know that Zhang Tong and Dayao still think it's too embarrassing for two people to grab the rebounds like this, so I thought it might be a lot better to let them shoot. But I didn't expect Ai Yi to coldly reject my suggestion, staring at the two people under the basket and said, "No, let them grab the rebounds, you go shoot quickly, don't talk nonsense here!"
I was so stunned by what Ai Yi said that I quickly returned to my shooting position. Zhang Tong and Dayao, who were standing under the basket, stared coldly at Ai Yi who was sitting there. It seemed that these three people disliked each other. Fortunately, when the people off the court saw what the four of us were playing with, their interest seemed to be reduced by half. Soon, a lot of onlookers disappeared, and I noticed that there were fewer people off the court.
My mood suddenly became relaxed. It's not that I was nervous because there were people watching, but I felt that with fewer people, Yao Ming and Zhang Tong might feel less embarrassed, and our training would be able to return to normal. But it seems that I was too optimistic about everything. Although many people who were watching had left, Gao Yang and those few guys from the basketball team had not left yet and were still standing on the sidelines watching with interest.
I don't know what they were watching, but I guess it was probably because Gao Yang told them that he would be competing with us in a while, so these people were just out to watch the fun and see what level our opponents were at. Maybe they were just standing here watching us for fun.
Lao Qian seemed to be the most nervous person. His hand holding the ball was even shaking. He jumped up and threw the ball tremblingly. As expected, he was too nervous and threw a hollow ball, but it was hollow outside the basket, which is commonly known as a three-miss. However, the two people standing under the basket still looked lifeless. They raised their hands again to symbolically grab the rebound, but because neither of them was too serious, they actually grabbed the ball with their hands at the same time, but neither of them seemed to have any intention of grabbing it. Zhang Tong shook his head as if he felt that it was meaningless to do this, then let go of his hand and let Dayao grab the rebound. Dayao took the ball and threw it to me. I saw that they were not serious at all, and I was not happy at all because of their lazy look. But what I didn’t expect was that Ai Yi, who was sitting there, suddenly stood up, stared at Zhang Tong and Dayao coldly and said, do you two want to practice
Dayao and Zhang Tong slowly turned their heads away, tilted their heads and squinted their eyes to look at Ai Yi unhappily, without saying a word, just staring at Ai Yi in an unpleasant way.
Ai Yi seemed really angry, because I noticed that the look in her eyes became more and more disdainful. I wanted to help them explain to Ai Yi at this time, but before I could say anything, Ai Yi seemed to suppress her unhappiness and asked them again, "Do you two want to practice?"
Then they looked impatient and answered reluctantly, "Practice. If we don't want to practice, why are we here in the middle of the day? Are you bored?"
After hearing their answers full of resistance, Ai Yi didn't say anything else. She just looked at them coldly a few times and sat down again.
The atmosphere between them was as tense as a taut string that seemed ready to explode at any moment. I felt even more upset when I saw them like this, because I didn't know why every time we had a training session it would be like this and end in a bad mood.
