Chapter 280
“Pretty Sister, your father knows how to play basketball as well?” Bai Xi Xi asked.
Zhang Li Xue laughed. “Un. Most of my family members know how to play basketball.”
Bai Xi Xi was amazed.
“When I was a little girl, it was my father who taught me to play,” Zhang Li Xue said. She liked seeing how her father could jump up high and dunk the basketball.
“Are they going to have a match?”
Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Un. Xi Xi, let’s stay at the side and watch them, alright?” She turned to look at the court again with a conflicted feeling. At this time, she did not know who she should be cheering on.
But...
Her gaze fell on Bai Qi.
.....
Although she had told him not to bully her father too much, Zhang Li Xue still hoped that the man would win.
In the center of the court, both Zhang Yu Han and Bai Qi were facing each other.
Zhang Yu Han threw the ball up high and jumped up to snatch the ball. However, Bai Qi was faster than him. With one swift move, Bai Qi grabbed the ball and ran to the other side.
Bai Qi had his eyes on the hoop. Just as he was about to get his first point, Zhang Yu Han appeared right in front of him.
There was a trace of surprise in his eyes.
Bai Qi had heard that his girlfriend’s father was very good at basketball. The man was in his fifties and his agility was quite good.
His path was blocked. Bai Qi could only try to find another way to bypass Zhang Yu Han’s defense.
The two men stared at each other. Each was looking forward to seeing what the others would do next. Each was trying to evaluate the other’s skills and technique. After watching Zhang Yu Han for a while, Bai Qi finally makes his move.
The sound of the basketball against the floor was loud.
Bai Qi did a little trick and finally dashed forward for his first point with a slam dunk.
Then, the sounds of applause were heard. Bai Xi Xi was especially excited. In her eyes, her brother was especially handsome when he played basketball.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu Han frowned as he watched Bai Qi retrieve the basketball. He could not help thinking that the trick that Bai Qi had pulled was a little familiar.
He tapped his finger on his chin and finally recalled how he liked using this trick when he was younger.
Bai Qi’s posture and movement were very similar to how he would have done it.
Of course, Zhang Yu Han would never guess that the person who taught Bai Qi this move was no other than his daughter.
Another round began and this time, it was Bai Qi’s turn to be on the defense. His eyes were on Zhang Yu Han while he was keeping his eyes on the basketball at the same time.
Zhang Yu Han dashed forward. However, before Bai Qi could block his path, Zhang Yu Han moved to his left side and shot a three-pointer.
The ball went into the hoop before it fell back on the ground.
Bai Qi looked at the ball before turning to Zhang Yu Han. “Uncle, you’re very good.”
Zhang Yu Han chuckled. “Thank you. You’re quite good as well.”
His eyes narrowed. It seemed that Qi Zheng was not lying when he praised Bai Qi’s skills.
The two men had said that they were only playing around and it was nothing serious.
However, as time passed by, Zhang Li Xue was quick to realize that this match had turned intense. The two were playing as if they were in a tournament!
Both men saw each other’s skills and became excited. Zhang Li Xue saw the look in her father’s eyes and sighed helplessly.
The fire in his eyes showed that he would not go easy on Bai Qi.
Zhang Li Xue had a feeling that this match would go on for a long time.
She lowered her gaze and looked at the score that she had jotted down. At this time, Bai Qi was leading the match. However, her father’s points were not too far behind him.
It seemed that Bai Qi was listening to her when she reminded him not to bully her father too much.
However, with time, her father might have the chance to turn the match around.
“How long have they both been playing basketball?”
Hearing the voice coming from behind her, Zhang Li Xue quickly turned around and found that her mother was looking at the basketball court.
“Almost twenty minutes,” Zhang Li Xue answered.
“I thought that they were only playing around,” Li Qin Yao spoke. Her gaze fell on Bai Qi, who was in his jersey and basketball shoes. “How is this playing around? It seemed that Bai Qi was fully prepared to play a match against your father.”
Zhang Li Xue coughed. “Well. Daddy did mention to him that he wanted to have a match. Bai Qi was prepared and brought along his change of clothes and shoes.”
Li Qin Yao stared at her husband speechlessly.
Why didn’t she know anything that her husband had planned this?
“Who’s winning?” Li Qin Yao spoke again.
Zhang Li Xue showed her mother the scoreboard on her phone.
Li Qin Yao stayed to watch the match for a while and sighed. She could see that Bai Qi was really good at basketball. After watching her husband score another point, Li Qin Yao finally looked at her daughter again. “Alright. Tell them to end the game quickly. Dinner will be served quickly.”
Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Mommy, I know.”
After her mother headed back to the house, Zhang Li Xue turned her attention back to the court.
It seemed that her father would not have the chance to turn things around.
Zhang Li Xue put both hands around her mouth and shouted, “Daddy, Mommy said you should end the game quickly. Dinner will be served soon.”
The men heard her voice, but they both focused on their match.
Zhang Yu Han quickly found his way to go through Bai Qi’s defense.
However, the boy was quick to block his path again. His brow furrowed. He moved around a little bit and finally found his chance.
Zhang Yu Han shot the ball into the hoop and watched as it went into the ring.
At the side, Zhang Li Xue blew the whistle, indicating that the match is over.
