Chapter 1164
PS: Thanks to Mercury's Masked Rider for the book coin tip, thanks for the support!
Main text:
There is a basketball court in the residential area, and the quality of the hoop and the floor is quite good. High-end communities with good wind and water never cut corners when it comes to hardware facilities.
However, you basically never see anyone playing basketball; there are more people in the gym, but they are all hot young ladies.
And the men in the community are mostly middle-aged; they have potbellies, and when they enter or leave the community, they are always hugging such young ladies. Those who don't know might think they are father and daughter; it's just that I've never seen the mother.
After arriving at the court, Mia found a seat and held the baby to feed him some water.
As for Ma Er, he took the basketball and dribbled it twice, wanting to find his feel.
If it were a lively basketball court with many people, at this time, you could go find those teams that are playing and shout, "Can I join a group? I don't really know how to play."
Usually, you can join, but unfortunately, there were only three people in the huge basketball court.
Wen Xia said she would bring Xiao Miao and Chen Chen over to play later, and she also brought a frisbee, saying it was a trendy sport that had recently emerged, and it could only be played in a relatively open space.
As for Luo Quan, she took off the sweatpants she was wearing.
The sun outside was bigger than she imagined, and she couldn't keep wearing the sweatpants that reached her knees, but she had hot pants underneath, so the super-moderator did a sit-up on the sofa.
She thought she could warn the boss, but it turned out to be a feint.
"Luo Bao's figure is really good, full of youth and vitality."
"I understand the logic, but why is Luo Bao's belly button vertical? Shouldn't it be round?"
"Not necessarily, mine is flat."
"Ah? Why is mine protruding?"
"Haha, are you guys all serious?"
………………
The comments in the live stream vividly interpreted what is meant by human diversity. Luo Quan looked at them for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "Because of the distribution of muscles in women, as long as it's that healthy kind of slimness, the belly button is generally vertical.
As for men, round is normal, but if it's flat, it either means you exercise often and your abs have pulled the belly button flat, or it means you are too fat and your belly has squeezed the belly button flat. You guys think about which one you belong to."
"Damn, how did you know I'm a fatty!"
"Oh no, I've been fiercely looked down upon by Luo Bao."
"As a fat otaku, what's wrong with being a little fat? Can I live up to my identity without this physique?"
"What does a fat otaku represent? It represents a glutton, it represents a lazy dog. You ask me what I am? Sorry, I'm also a fat otaku."
"Stop scolding, stop scolding, I'll lose weight, okay? I'll start losing weight tomorrow."
"Why do you always say tomorrow? Because when tomorrow comes, you can continue to say tomorrow, as if you have made up your mind and are just indulging for a few more hours, but in fact, that day will never arrive."
"Insightful!"
………………
Looking at the comments, Luo Quan laughed out loud: "Otaku men, especially some fat otaku men, actually don't need to be too sad, because being chubby and round is also very cute.
But it would be even better if you are willing to lose weight; after all, obesity is not good for physical health."
This statement made the fans immediately reveal smiles:
"Luo Bao is truly kind."
"The previous part was just polite talk; the latter part is the sincere words."
"What do you mean?"
"Fatty, don't come near, hurry up and go lose weight."
"Hahaha, the words are rough but the logic is sound; Luo Bao is also doing it for your own good."
………………
The fans' ability to overthink has always been very strong. Clearly, it was a perfectly fine comfort from Luo Quan, but it ended up being misinterpreted by them as mockery.
However, Luo Quan was too lazy to explain; the more you explain, the messier it gets.
"Are you ready, sister? I've finished warming up." As soon as Ma Er finished speaking, he went straight for a sprint and jump, dunking the basketball into the hoop.
"This jump, there's something to it."
"Amazing Ma Er, worthy of being the New York Shark."
"Looks like he's a power type; Luo Bao is going to have a hard time later."
………………
Putting down the phone that was frantically scrolling through comments, Luo Quan walked to the three-point line: "Are you in a hurry to become the loser?"
"Wait and see how I beat you ten to zero." Ma Er didn't talk nonsense and threw the basketball directly to Luo Quan.
"It's right here where I'm standing." Luo Quan caught the ball with one hand and pointed to her feet with the other, "I'm going to shoot you to tears from right here."
After finishing, she did a pull-up jump shot. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, then hit the rim—commonly known as "clanking."
"..." Ma Er was silent for a while, then burst into laughter: "No way, sister, are you here to make me laugh?"
Luo Quan hurriedly said: "That was just a test shot, just warming up! What are you yelling about, hey!"
"Then I'll let you test-shoot again." Ma Er laughed with one hand on his hip and threw the ball to Luo Quan again.
"Watch closely, this one is a swish!" Luo Quan jumped to shoot again, but ended up throwing an airball—meaning she didn't touch the backboard, rim, or net at all.
This time, Ma Er laughed so hard he rolled on the ground; that exaggerated action was completely in retaliation for Luo Quan's previous grand talk.
"What's going on?" Luo Quan also looked at her hands in disbelief, thinking that no matter how bad her feel was, it shouldn't be an airball.
"No matter how good your feel was in your past life, you don't have muscle memory now."
The system's prompt made Luo Quan suddenly realize.
Shooting is initially based on talent, but after thousands of practices, it all relies on muscle memory.
Today was the first time she touched a basketball after transmigrating; how could there be any muscle memory to speak of? Shooting an airball is the normal situation!
"Alright, sister, you're only good with your mouth. Let me show you what real basketball is."
Ma Er held the ball and came to the three-point line, pointing inside: "Go in, defend well, otherwise there's no sense of achievement in winning against a rookie like you."
"I want to see what skills you have." Luo Quan curled her lips in disdain and came to the free-throw line.
"I'll pass you like passing a zebra crossing at dawn." Ma Er dribbled the ball between his legs twice, then accelerated and broke through from the right.
Luo Quan moved laterally very quickly and immediately blocked Ma Er's breakthrough path.
However, halfway through the breakthrough, Ma Er suddenly stopped, changed direction between his legs, and broke through to the left.
Seeing this, Luo Quan hurriedly tried to lunge, but her body was still in the inertia of moving forward. With this change of direction, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Ma Er rushed to the basket, flew up, and made an explosive dunk.
Seeing this scene, the comments burst into laughter:
"Is this all Luo Bao has?"
"She bragged to the heavens, but it turns out she's not much."
"Haha, this is the first time Luo Bao has been humbled; don't shed little pearls later."
"I feel like Luo Bao is going to cry."
"Ma Er has something; this sudden stop and change of direction is as smooth as can be, streetball king level."
"With this movement, my knees are aching faintly."
"Young people's bodies are just good, doing any movement; unlike me, I can only throw three-pointers like Luo Bao."
"Luo Quan: Are you being polite?"
………………
The comments were in full mockery mode. Fortunately, Luo Quan couldn't see them at this moment, otherwise, she would probably be furious.
"I won't bully you; I'll let you attack one more time." Ma Er handed the ball to Luo Quan, acting very magnanimous.
Mainly, he was afraid that his sister would get so angry that she would perform a craniotomy on him, which would be too bloody and violent.
Luo Quan gave Ma Er a look that said "you're still sensible," then held the ball and dribbled it twice.
Good news: the feel for dribbling was still there.
Although her shooting was no longer good, as long as her dribbling was still there, she could still play!
Luo Quan thought confidently, then directly dribbled the ball toward the inside.
Ma Er reacted very quickly, stepping to the left to block her.
Luo Quan also learned from Ma Er's previous style, doing a between-the-legs change of direction, pulling the ball back, and then quickly dribbling the ball in front of her, making Ma Er not know which path she would start to break through from.
"This dribbling has something to it."
"She really knows how to play basketball; the previous airball wasn't just for show, right?"
"I knew Luo Bao could play; look at her shooting posture and hand shape from before, they are more standard than many old players who have played for over ten years."
"She definitely knows how to play; the previous part was just for laughs."
………………
The view of the comments was also Ma Er's own view.
Seeing that his sister's level wasn't low, he didn't dare to be dismissive in his heart anymore and gradually lowered his center of gravity.
Just at this moment, Luo Quan did a "Buddha-worship" move, pretending to shoot, and directly shook Ma Er up.
But just before her hands were about to hold the ball, she released her right hand and quickly used her left hand to pat the ball to the ground, so she could continue dribbling.
And after Ma Er was shaken up, he could only watch helplessly as Luo Quan dribbled the ball into the inside, followed by a layup.
With a "bang," after landing, Ma Er quickly chased after her and swatted the basketball his sister shot away like playing volleyball.
"To hell with the basketball dream!"
"Haha, Ma Er isn't holding back at all."
"Luo Bao's 'Buddha-worship' move was smooth as flowing water, but unfortunately Ma Er's body crushed her."
"The movement is very beautiful, but in terms of sports, boys are stronger, not to mention Ma Er is so much taller than Luo Quan; there's no way to play."
"There's something to it, but not much."
………………
Luo Quan didn't see the comments, but Ma Er's mocking expression had already caused her mentality to explode.
"I'm not playing anymore, can't play at all!" Luo Quan sat back on the sidelines, unscrewed the cap, and took a big gulp of water.
Just as the comments said, the physical gap is something technology cannot make up for, not to mention Ma Er's technique wasn't bad either. Without using her martial arts, she didn't have the slightest chance of winning.
"Don't be like that, sister, I just warmed up; let's do two more." Ma Er said to Luo Quan with a grin, wanting her to do more.
"Do more my ass?" Luo Quan glared at her brother, not wanting to talk nonsense with him anymore.
Not long after, Wen Xia came over with the frisbee, followed by two little followers.
"Why aren't you playing basketball?" Wen Xia asked the question that shouldn't be asked.
"Luo Quan was crushed by Ma Er and doesn't want to touch a basketball anymore." Mia held her son and said with great amusement.
"There's such a thing?!" Wen Xia looked incredulous, "There is actually someone in this world who can defeat you; you are the invincible Valkyrie."
"I was careless and didn't use my real skills." Luo Quan's expression was calm, and she didn't want to argue too much.
"Luo Bao has started to be stubborn; this is the first time I've seen her so embarrassed."
"For a sport like basketball that combines body and technique, she really isn't very good at it."
"Better to go play LOL; Ma Er's Yasuo is at most gold level, you can crush him easily."
"A Challenger playing against Gold, that's indeed crushing easily."
………………
Looking at the fans' teasing words, Luo Quan was both angry and amused.
Actually, if she were serious, ten Ma Ers wouldn't be her match.
But in that case, it would be meaningless, so she never used even a tiny bit of true Qi from beginning to end.
Facts also proved that without extraordinary power, her technique indeed couldn't defeat Ma Er's body.
In terms of sports, the gap between men and women is indeed too large.
Of course, Luo Quan wasn't depressed because of this trivial matter.
It was mainly because she had bragged before, and the live stream ended up being a slap in the face, so she was somewhat embarrassed.
However, Luo Quan's skin was also thick, and she quickly recovered from this awkward situation.
Just as Wen Xia and the others arrived, she simply participated in the frisbee throwing sport together.
Although Luo Quan didn't know how this sport became popular, it was said that it was because a bunch of internet celebrities were posing for photos and were attacked because they occupied someone else's soccer field.
But without affecting others, Luo Quan felt that throwing a frisbee was quite good.
It can exercise the body and isn't particularly intense.
It's just that one thing is a bit uncomfortable; after all, in the past, the ones who usually picked up frisbees were dogs, but now it has been replaced by people.
However, if you turn this sport into the "throwing sandbags" game from childhood, the style immediately changes.
Several people are limited to an area, and the person throwing the frisbee stands outside the circle, throwing the frisbee at the people inside. If you are hit and don't catch the frisbee, you have to swap with the person throwing it.
If you don't hit or it's caught, you have to continue.
Actually, there are many advanced ways to play throwing sandbags, but Xiao Miao's physical strength isn't very good, and Chen Chen isn't very open, so they only played the basic way for a while.
After playing for half an hour, Xiao Miao was already sweating all over and had drunk a bottle and a half of mineral water.
"This sweating... is much more useful than... lifting weights in... the gym."
Xiao Miao sat on the chair, panting heavily.
"Your progress these past few days is good. Put in a little more effort, and in another half a month, you'll basically be able to see the results."
Luo Quan said, aiming the live stream camera at Li Xiao Miao: "Everyone look, has Xiao Miao lost a lot of weight?"
You don't know until you look; it's shocking when you do:
"Damn, it seems it really is!"
"This change is a bit big; the fat on her face is obviously much less."
"Don't tell me Xiao Miao is really going to lose the weight; I haven't even started yet."
"It's over, Xiao Miao is really going to slap our faces and have a super big comeback."
"I can't wait to see what Xiao Miao looks like as a great beauty."
"This is the true meaning of 'you will definitely look good when you lose weight!'"
