Chapter 32: Team Vs Leo Team
Sarah and Sophie left. However, some people were arrogant and despotic at the scene.
There were four on David’s side while there were five on Leo’s side. One of them was even a starting member of the university’s basketball team. He was 190cm tall and he was at least 250 pounds.
On the surface, David’s side was in a disadvantageous position...
The bystanders around them kept instigating both sides. Honestly, they did not care how big this matter became.
However, a group fight would be a major event on campus, and it would break the bottom line of the university. Aside from David, the rest of them did not dare to cross this line.
Even a rich kid like Leo would not dare to do so. If he was expelled, not only would his father cut off all his financial support, he might even break his legs.
Thus, the two sides just stood there.
At this moment, someone suggested that they should have a 3 vs 3 street basketball match. This was the best way to resolve a conflict on the basketball court.
Leo immediately agreed as this was just up his alley.
David only had Patrick who was considered good as he was a backup for the university basketball team, the other two were just decent. David was even worse as he was just an amateur, so Leo was not even concerned about him.
There was a starting member on his side. A starting member was not on the same level as a backup. Plus, he was not weaker than Patrick, so he would definitely win.
“What do you think, David? Do you dare to do this? Don’t back away if you’re a man! If you don’t dare, we will only send three of us to go against all four of you,” Leo said to David arrogantly.
“Dave, don’t fall for that. He’s purposely saying that to trigger you. While ‘Gorilla’ is around, we won’t have a chance,” Patrick at one side whispered to David.
Patrick was not someone who would admit defeat easily. However, now that they were against the university basketball team’s starting member, Max ‘Gorilla’ Thompson, he had to back down.
Since they were all from the basketball team, they would always train together. Therefore, Patrick knew Max’s strength very well.
He would almost be invincible if they were to play half-court street basketball. They might only have a chance if it was a full-court because after all, he was big and he had limited stamina.
Leo saw Patrick talking David down and said directly to him, “Patrick, stop spewing nonsense, you coward.”
“Leo, if you have the balls, don’t make Max play. Just compete with us.”
“Not make him play? If that’s the case, why don’t I just fight you with my fist? You’re indeed a coward. If you don’t have the guts, you should just get lost!”
Patrick wanted to retort but David spoke.
“Alright, let’s do it.”
“Dave!”
At one side, Patrick quickly yelled out.
“Pat, I know what I’m doing.”
David’s basketball skills were bad back then, but it did not mean that he was bad right now.
He silently added basketball skills on the skills column and then, he spent 10 lavish points to upgrade it to Expert.
With his maximum physical strength as a backup, it was not an exaggeration to say that David was almost god-like in basketball.
Leo quickly said, “You’re the one who agreed to this, David. A word spoken can never be taken back.”
“Yeah, I said that. Leo, how do you want to do this?” David asked.
“Since it’s a match, how could we not have a prize? Whoever loses will have to go to the broadcasting room on campus tomorrow during lunch break and yell ‘I am a piece of trash’ in front of all the lecturers and students. After that, the losing side will have to host an apology feast in Golden Leaf Hotel, what do you think?”
“Alright, let’s do that,” David answered nonchalantly.
“Dave, we...”
Patrick wanted to say something, but Dave interrupted him, “It’s fine, Pat. Just do your best.”
“Alright, the rule will be a 3 vs 3 street basketball. Whoever gets 10 goals will win. A typical three-pointer will now count as 2 points. No problem with that, right?”
“Not at all.”
“Right, how many of you will go? Three or four?” Leo asked in a mocking tone.
“Just three of us will go.”
“You made this choice, so don’t blame me for bullying you.”
David and Leo were going to have a 3 vs 3 street basketball match. News of this was spread around by some nosy people.
If they lost, not only would they need to say ‘I am a piece of trash’ in the university’s broadcasting room, they would even have to host an apology feast in Golden Leaf Hotel. The stakes were high.
Aside from the humiliation, they stood to lose money. One table at the Golden Leaf Hotel would cost at least tens of thousands.
Soon, more and more students showed up at the gymnasium of South River University. Some of the students even skipped class to come to watch.
When David’s classmates heard this, they naturally came over to observe.
Some of them came to cheer for David and some of them came to watch David make a fool of himself.
“Wow, isn’t that Amelia, one of the Three Campus Belles? I didn’t expect her to come.”
“Haven’t you heard? Amelia is dating David!”
“No way!”
“What do you mean no way? I saw them walk out of campus together with my own eyes.”
“Wasn’t Leo pursuing Amelia this whole time? I didn’t think that David would be one step ahead of him. No wonder the two of them would fight whenever they saw each other.”
“I heard Leo was the one who stole David’s girlfriend Sarah, so that’s why David took down Leo’s goddess, whom he had thus far failed to pursue.”
“Damn, what a badass!”
“Look, isn’t that Ava?” Another person yelled.
“Damn, yeah, it is!”
“Now, only Luna from the Three Campus Belles of SRU is not here. Do you think she’ll come?”
“Probably not. Luna isn’t nosy.”
Both sides were now ready. Patrick, William, and Finn were on David’s side. David would not play yet. He wanted to see how they would do.
Meanwhile, Leo, Gorilla Max, and one of Leo’s attendants were on Leo’s side. The referee was one of the players from the university’s basketball team.
With a whistle, the match started. Patrick was the first to serve the ball. Patrick dribbled the ball skillfully and bent his body. The ball traveled between his legs while Leo stood right in front of him.
Then, Patrick sped up. He dribbled the ball with his right hand and moved quickly to the right. Leo quickly followed behind him to stop him.
Then, Patrick stopped abruptly and used his left hand to dribble the ball to move it to the left.
Leo failed to follow him, and he let Patrick enter the restricted area. When Patrick moved past Leo to get ready to jump on the restricted area and send the ball into the basket, a huge figure appeared in front of him.
Gorilla Max jumped in front of Patrick. With his height and vertical reach, Patrick’s shot would definitely be stopped.
Patrick reacted resourcefully and passed the ball in mid-air to Finn, who was waiting at the wing.
Finn caught the ball and since there was no one guarding him, he did a layup and the ball entered the basket easily
Team David 1 vs Team Leo 0.
Thunderous applause could be heard at the scene.
“Amazing!”
“Good shot!”
“Perfect!”
Leo’s face turned dark. It was time for the second ball. Leo faced Patrick while holding the ball.
The crowd screamed when they saw him showing off his dribbling skills.
However, Patrick stopped him when he feinted going to the left but was actually dashing toward the right.
Leo took a step forward and jumped in front of Patrick to throw the ball.
Thud!
The ball hit the basket and bounced up.
When everyone was going to fight for the rebound, a hand directly pushed the ball that had bounced away back into the basket.
