Chapter 27: Chapter 0027: It Takes a Villain to Grind a Villain

"Fuck, don’t be polite with this kid later."

Ma Gangqiang roared angrily.

His most expert moves began as Ma Gangqiang ferociously charged with the ball, knocking down the defending student across from him, and then scoring.

Whenever Tang Ming dribbled, immediately three people would come up to trap him, making it impossible for him to dribble, and once he passed it out, his teammates didn’t know what to do with the ball.

During the scrambling, Ma Gangqiang suddenly threw a punch, hitting the student’s face and then directly stealing the ball.

The player fell to the ground and didn’t get up, his nose bleeding profusely, which caused the referee to call a stop.

He was quickly taken to the infirmary, but then nobody dared to enter the game.

The students from Class 5 gathered together, with the other two substitutes also not daring to easily enter the game.

"Ma Gangqiang is more about hitting people than playing the game, we dare not go up."

"You guys are so useless, what are you afraid of?"

Liu Mengting also spoke up indignantly.

Finally, someone who wasn’t afraid of dying joined in, but sadly they had no skill and could only make up the numbers.

Fortunately, Tang Ming was there. With his aggressive drives and outside shots, he quickly caught up the score. By the end of the first half, Ma Gangqiang was furiously hopping mad.

"Later, gang up on that kid Tang Ming, don’t let him leave the court unscathed."

Ma Gangqiang yelled.

As the second half began, his brutal behavior cropped up again, but Tang Ming purposefully got knocked down while dribbling, earning a free throw opportunity!

Although it was just a free throw, the previously one-sided trend had allowed Class 9 to extend their lead by ten points.

to 45, with only one minute left, Tang Ming dribbled and broke through one defender, side-stepping another player who barged towards him, then immediately jumping up for a shot half a meter in front of the lunging Ma Gangqiang.

Swish!

It was another big three-pointer, stunning the entire court. Even the PE teacher was clapping furiously.

"Trash."

As he passed by Ma Gangqiang, Tang Ming said with a mocking grin.

"Fuck your mother."

Ma Gangqiang, unable to contain his anger, was about to lash out at Tang Ming.

Grinning slyly, Tang Ming took a few steps away and shouted, "So aggressive because you can’t defend!"

Just then, the referee came over to mediate, which stopped Ma Gangqiang from exploding in anger.

On the next play, Ma Gangqiang dribbled and charged directly at Tang Ming, now just venting his anger without considering the win.

But as he ferociously dribbled toward Tang Ming, Tang swiftly dodged, and with inertia carrying him forward a few steps to regain balance, Ma Gangqiang just steadied himself when a force struck the ball, knocking it out of his hands.

"Fuck, where’s the ball?"

Turning his head, Ma Gangqiang saw Tang Ming had quickly dribbled to their basket and easily scored two points.

The score was now just five points apart, Ma Gangqiang looked furiously at Tang Ming as if harboring some vendetta against him.

"Hey, that boy seems to be challenging Ma Gangqiang."

Among the students of Class 9, Xia Wei’er of course noticed that Tang Ming was provoking Ma Gangqiang. Almost no student in this school dared to confront Ma Gangqiang directly; this guy might be in for a rough time.

"Wei’er, see that? That’s the new student from Class 5, named Tang Ming. I heard he handled even Chen Cang and now he’s still in the hospital."

Li Yuanyuan said.

"Is that so?"

Xia Wei’er’s lips curled into a cold sneer. Chen Cang deserved to be dealt with, having smashed her family’s shop last time, causing it to remain closed to this day.

Because of this, Xia Wei’er didn’t know how many times she had cried at home feeling aggrieved. Now she finally heard some good news—it was a case of evil begetting evil.

However, Tang Ming probably wasn’t a good person either. It was said that Chen Cang had been defeated by him before going to smash the shop, and that he had climbed over Chen Cang and Ma Gangqiang to rise to power, likely becoming the new school bully boss soon.

"It takes a villain to suppress another villain."

Xia Wei’er pinned the blame for smashing the shop on Tang Ming.

On the basketball court, Ma Gangqiang was nearly going insane. Just now, seizing an opening from Class Five, he had fast-breaked for a layup, but as he attempted the layup, Tang Ming, who had chased after him, smacked the ball away with a slap.

The most infuriating part was that when the ball fell, it touched his body, and the ball possession was awarded to Class Five.

On the court, Ma Gangqiang usually blocked others’ shots; nobody had the nerve to block his. There had been someone who accidentally blocked his shot once, resulting in Ma Gangqiang causing him trouble after school and sending him to the hospital for several days with knocked-out teeth.

The referee called a halt to the game, and the ball possession stayed with Class Five, but there were only 30 seconds left. Since it was a student game, there was naturally no 24-second count, but the pace was fast, with attacks typically completed in just a few seconds.

The score was still three points behind. By now, all the students of Class Five had stood up, including Liu Mengting, who hadn’t expected Tang Ming to play so well, watching his moves with sheer enjoyment.

"This guy really has some skills beyond scaring dogs."

Liu Mengting muttered to herself.

At this moment, the physical education teacher of Class Five saw a glimpse of victory and hurriedly called over Tang Ming and the others. He had noticed that the other four players on the court were practically ’reading with the Crown Prince’, unable to move anymore, and the final ball possession would definitely involve passing to Tang Ming for the attack; he continuously advised Tang Ming on some precautions.

"For a newcomer, you’re strikingly fierce. I see you making the school team and leading Tianjiao High School to great achievements," the teacher said with a smile. Although Class Five had a very low overall sports level, if one or two outstanding students emerged, it would reflect well on him too.

After the teacher left, Tang Ming and his group walked back to their class to get drinks, since they were bringing glory to the class and some generous classmates had even bought beverages. But then, Ma Gangqiang came over with his gang.

"Move."

One of Ma Gangqiang’s subordinates pushed Zhou Youfu aside, then looked at Tang Ming provocatively as he drank water.

"Wow, not bad at all, but a loss is still a loss," Ma Gangqiang said as he looked at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming laughed, "Isn’t there still time? Can’t lose."

"Say that again?"

One of Ma Gangqiang’s underlings was about to start a fight.

"Don’t move."

Ma Gangqiang grabbed him and said, "How about we bet on something?"

"Sure," Tang Ming laughed. "What do you want to bet on?"

"If your side loses, then you kneel at the school gate and call me ’Grandpa’ three times," Ma Gangqiang roared fiercely.

"And if you lose?"

Tang Ming countered, "Is it the same, calling me ’Grandpa’ three times?"

"We won’t lose."

Ma Gangqiang laughed loudly as if he heard a great joke.

"Exactly."

One of the underlings spat out a big chew of gum; it nearly landed on Tang Ming.

At this open provocation, Tang Ming was about to retaliate when a figure burst through carrying a whiff of fragrance; it was Liu Mengting. She stood in front of Tang Ming and addressed Ma Gangqiang, "Mister Ma, what kind of manner is this? Losing and then coming to our Class Five to seek presences? Let me tell you, Tang Ming can’t bother to deal with you, otherwise you’d already be on the ground."
