475: Chapter 474: Trash is Trash [8 Chapters More] 475: Chapter 474: Trash is Trash [8 Chapters More] Xu Rongfei was introducing when suddenly, a muffled groan came from the basketball court, followed by a thud, as Kobe’s leg could no longer bear the pain and failed to support his body, making him fall to the ground.
The assistant beside him hurriedly stepped forward to help, while starting to say, “Give up, we can wait until your leg is better before…”
But before the assistant could finish, Kobe harshly pushed him away.
Kobe’s face looked somewhat unpleasant, his body was trembling slightly, whether from physical pain or inner resentment and unwillingness was unclear.
“Get away!
Don’t touch me!” Kobe roared, his expression slightly distorted, but he still managed to stand up, shakily picking the basketball up from the ground again.
It looked like he was planning to continue practicing.
Xu Rongfei’s face changed slightly and she hurriedly walked up to Kobe, walking all the way to his side, and as he prepared to start practicing again, she grabbed his arm.
Kobe was tall and imposing, and in contrast, Xu Rongfei appeared much smaller, but even such a diminutive figure made Kobe stop his instinctive motion to push her away.
“Xu Rongfei?
What are you doing here?” Kobe asked, frowning.
“Your body can’t continue practicing like this, you’re only going to make your injuries worse,” Xu Rongfei said sternly, her face also somber, her hand still tightly gripping Kobe’s arm.
Kobe sneered and said, “You mean I’m just a cripple now?”
“That’s not what I mean,” Xu Rongfei said, startled, explaining, “I just…”
Unfortunately, she was cut off before she could finish.
This person, naturally, was Ning Fan, who walked up casually with his hands in his pockets and said, “You guessed right, that’s exactly what she means.”
“What?” Kobe was slightly taken aback, looking at Ning Fan with surprise, not knowing where this guy had come from.
“Can’t understand?
Then let me repeat it, you are a cripple now, an absolute cripple!” Ning Fan raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and said without mincing his words.
Both the tone and the contemptuous expression made Kobe’s body tremble violently.
He glared at Ning Fan angrily and said coldly, “I was a god on the basketball court back in the day, and I still am now, even with an injured leg, I am still a god!”
Ning Fan burst out laughing, sizing Kobe up and asked in a bizarre tone, “I don’t care how impressive or powerful you were back then, look at you now, what are you if not a cripple?”
Kobe’s rage could no longer be contained, he abruptly pushed Xu Rongfei aside, rushed up to Ning Fan, and grabbed his collar, “Do you dare to repeat what you just said?”
Seeing that the situation was escalating beyond her control, Xu Rongfei’s face turned ugly, and she quickly tried to mediate, “Kobe, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing?
Xu Rongfei, did you bring this guy here today just to mock me?” Kobe’s words were directed at Xu Rongfei, but his eyes were fixed firmly on Ning Fan, ready to start a fight at any moment.
“You’ve misunderstood, this is my friend, his name is Ning Fan.
I know you’ve visited many hospitals, and they couldn’t help, but my friend’s medical technique is incredibly powerful.
I want him to help you,” Xu Rongfei said, relieved that they hadn’t started fighting, and she quickly explained.
“I don’t need treatment, and I don’t think this guy can cure me either,” Kobe scoffed, releasing Ning Fan’s collar and adding, “How I am now is my own business, and if you continue to offend me, don’t blame me for not being nice.”
Xu Rongfei’s brow furrowed slightly, seemingly losing patience.
Kobe was indeed too stubborn.
Ning Fan stopped Xu Rongfei from saying more, straightened his collar, and looked directly at Kobe.
He said lightly, “You want to prove you’re not useless?
Fine, compete with me.”
“A competition?” Kobe paused, puzzled, “Compete in what?”
“Since you think you’re still the god of the basketball court, let’s compete in basketball, how about that?” Ning Fan said with a smile.
“Competing in basketball…” Kobe muttered, his expression complex.
Though he was reluctant to admit it, Kobe knew that his current physical condition was too poor.
Even playing normally was strenuous, and the chances of losing a competition were quite high.
Of course, if it had been during his peak, he would have feared no one!
Ning Fan seemed to see right through Kobe’s thoughts and said casually, “I know what you’re thinking.
Although you’re reluctant to admit it, your leg injury indeed affects you significantly.
If it were during your peak, you’d probably have accepted my challenge without hesitation, wouldn’t you?”
“Hmph, if it were my peak, I could beat you with my eyes closed!” Kobe said proudly, as if recalling his past glory, “Even now, despite my injuries and limited mobility, you would still not be a match for me.
I accept your challenge!”
“Oh?
So confident?” Ning Fan said with a chuckle as he stepped forward, patted Kobe on the shoulder, and secretly transferred some True Qi into Kobe’s body:
“However, I don’t want that.
You have a leg injury, and if I were to win, it wouldn’t be honorable.
So, let’s compete in your peak state.”
After saying this, Ning Fan walked aside and picked up the basketball on the ground.
Kobe stood there somewhat dazed.
Peak state?
With his current condition, how could he possibly compete in his peak state?
Thinking this, Kobe subconsciously walked towards Ning Fan.
He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt a shock through his body.
Confused, he looked down at his body and legs.
After a few seconds, his eyes suddenly burst with light.
He felt his legs no longer hurt and noticed that his movement was completely normal!
Even the disconnection he had felt due to practicing had disappeared.
At that moment, Kobe felt as if he had fully returned to his peak condition.
The nimble and efficient body and feeling made Kobe believe he had truly returned to the dream court he longed for!
“This…
my body, is it healed?” Kobe asked in astonishment.
