Chapter 019 【Ultimate Finishing Move】

Gu Feng returned to his own half of the court and saw the five players, who had been demoralized earlier, charging toward him with renewed ferocity. He was briefly surprised but quickly figured out their game. [Note: 'ZUILU' is a website or forum name.]

Earlier, their constant cheap shots had failed, leaving them disheartened. Now, with their morale suddenly boosted, there was definitely something fishy going on.

He saw right through it, but his face didn't show a thing. He discreetly glanced at Tian Tao in the stands out of the corner of his eye. Tian Tao had taken out his digital camera again, lining up the shot.

Gu Feng clearly remembered that Tian Tao had first taken out the camera right at the start of the game when Big Shark had tried to knock him out of bounds. Now, with Tian Tao pulling out the camera again, what he was up to was clear as day.

After the five crossed the half-court line, the player with the ball passed it to Big Shark. The other four then surrounded Big Shark, forming a circle around him. Encircled by his teammates, Big Shark dribbled the ball while keeping in step with them.

Seeing the five form this fortress-like formation, a faint smile reappeared on Gu Feng's serious face. These students were more of a handful than he'd thought. Who knew how Big Shark and the others had come up with such a weird play?

Facing the fortress formation, Gu Feng didn't budge. Based on the first five minutes of the game, he was pretty sure that aside from layups, the five had no chance with outside shots.

Soon, as Gu Feng waited, the five entered the three-point line.

Gu Feng still didn't move, just stood on the free-throw line, calmly watching their show.

"Now!" Big Shark commanded, dribbling with one hand and waving with the other.

Upon hearing Big Shark's order, the four scattered and moved to surround Gu Feng.

As the four closed in on Gu Feng, Big Shark chuckled and charged toward the basket.

Just as Big Shark was about to reach under the hoop, Gu Feng suddenly feinted. The player blocking him instinctively bit on the fake.

Seizing the moment when his opponent was off-balance, Gu Feng ducked and slipped through under the player's arm. Simultaneously, Big Shark, seeing things go south, put up a blind shot.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Big Shark used too much force. The ball slammed hard against the backboard with a dull thud and rebounded high into the air.

Seeing the trajectory of the ball, Gu Feng planted his feet and jumped straight up.

At the same moment he jumped, Big Shark rushed to his side and grabbed him around the waist. Two other players grabbed his legs, while the remaining two... went straight for his pants.

From a distance, Tian Tao, witnessing all this, quickly adjusted his camera angle and said to the girl beside him, "Quick, quick, distract him."

The girl next to him, hearing Tian Tao's words, immediately stood up without a word, lifted her skirt, and called out in a near-moan, "Teacher..."

The moment the two grabbed his pants, Gu Feng understood their intention. He wasn't about to pay attention to the girl in the stands now.

In mid-air, he swiftly reached out, grabbed the wrists of the two holding his pants, and jerked them up, lifting them off their feet. Then, sensing that Big Shark was trying to take him down, Gu Feng simply leaned into it and let himself fall backward onto Big Shark.

"Bam!" Gu Feng and the five players, including Big Shark, tumbled to the ground. Gu Feng's body landed squarely on top of Big Shark, who hit the floor back-first with a heavy impact, almost knocking him out.

"Ouch! That hurts like hell!"

"Why are you crushing me?"

"Get your leg off me!"

...

For a moment, aside from Gu Feng and Big Shark, the other four players complained to each other. As for Big Shark, he didn't have the breath to complain; with Gu Feng and two of his teammates piled on top of him, he could barely breathe and was about to pass out.

From a distance, Tian Tao instinctively pressed the shutter button. However, upon seeing the scene, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "Brutes will be brutes. Five of them couldn't even handle one guy."

Beside Tian Tao, the girl who had lifted her skirt put it down with a look of frustration, stating with certainty, "That guy is definitely frigid. Absolutely!"

Just as Big Shark was about to give out, Gu Feng pushed aside the two students next to him and stood up. Big Shark gasped for air, his face turning purple. Their plan had been to pull down Gu Feng's pants while he was going for the rebound, allowing Tian Tao to take a photo. Instead, they failed to get the shot and ended up taking a nasty fall—a classic case of adding insult to injury.

Amidst a chorus of groans, the five players gradually got to their feet. Big Shark was supporting his left arm with his right hand, his face twisted in pain.

"Let me see your arm," Gu Feng said, glancing at Big Shark's arm and recognizing that it was dislocated.

Big Shark, already pissed, glared at Gu Feng upon hearing his words. "What do you want?"

"Your arm is dislocated. If you want to keep hurting, then forget I said anything," Gu Feng stated seriously.

Hearing this, Big Shark hesitated for a moment, then extended his arm.

Gu Feng took hold of Big Shark's arm and said, "Bear with it." With that, he gave a sharp pull and a twist, producing a sickening pop.

"Aaarrgh~~~" Before Big Shark could mentally prepare himself, a piercing pain shot through him, causing him to let out an agonized howl.

"Go to the school clinic later and get some herbal patches for bruises. You'll be fine in a couple of days," Gu Feng advised, noticing the new look of respect in Big Shark's eyes. Despite feeling uncomfortable about the low trick the five had just employed, Xia Wei's words from the afternoon in the office came back to him.

"There are no trash students in this world, only rebellious ones."

Either don't do it, or do it to the best of your ability! That was Gu Feng's creed. Since he had signed up to be a teacher, he was determined to excel at it. These students before him were merely rebellious, not beyond redemption. With the right approach, they could certainly be set on the right path.

In the stands, Tian Tao and the others, seeing that Big Shark and his crew were thoroughly whipped, lost interest and prepared to leave.

"You, come over here!" Gu Feng waved at the five of them.

Hearing Gu Feng, Tian Tao smiled elegantly and said, "Teacher, class is already over."

"Wait, I'll walk with you!" It's hard to stay angry at someone who's smiling. Although Tian Tao's behavior seemed a bit put on, at least it didn't rub Gu Feng the wrong way.

Tian Tao and the others were surprised by Gu Feng's words and asked in unison, "Where are you going with us?"

"To your classroom, of course," Gu Feng replied matter-of-factly, already heading off the court. From their little act, Gu Feng was now certain that Tian Tao's earlier claim about many students being called in for talks by the principal or discipline officers was false.

For the first class, only ten students had shown up, and with the clear intention of establishing dominance, Gu Feng naturally had to teach Class 4-8 a lesson.
