[Chapter 96]
Gorilla Max learned the lesson from the first point and was no longer passive because of Patrick.
He would stay in the restricted area and would not jump randomly.
That way, Patrick and the gang could not do anything about him and they did not dare to enter the restricted area.
Thus, they would only shoot from outside the restricted area.
However, their lucks were not that good that day.
They shot several times, but none of them went into the basket.
With Gorilla guarding in the restricted area, it could be said that Leo was able to shoot unlimited times. Although his hit rate was very low, there would be someone keeping an eye on the rebound.
Whether it was offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, Gorilla Max was able to make all of those himself.
Thus, Leo shot without any pressure.
Soon the score came to 2 to 8.
Team David had only two points, while Team Leo had eight, and with just two more points, Team Leo would win.
It was time for David to play.
If he did not play now, the match would be over if Leo scored a three-pointer.
David motioned to the referee to call for a timeout.
After the timeout, Patrick and the gang returned to the rest area.
"I'm sorry, Dave! My skills are not that great today. I'm unable to make a lot of the outside shots," Patrick said apologetically.
"Us too."
Finn and William were also said.
"It's okay. I'm the one who accepted this match. It's good that you've done your best. I'll go next. Are any o f you tired? You can go take a break first."
"I'll go," William said.
"Alright, Will, you should rest first."
Time was up.
David walked onto the court with Patrick and Finn.
"Damn, they got a replacement."
"Isn't that the guy who sang 'Boy' during the Labor Day talent show? His name is David, right? Does he know how to play basketball?" 1
"No way. He's just a noob," Dean said from one side.
Ever since the Labor Day talent show, Dean had been mad at David. He was just a nameless pauper in class and now he's suddenly the Piano Prince.
He should be in the limelight with Ava, but in the end, David stole it from him.
Dean's answer pissed off a lot of the students from their class.
"Dean, it's fine if you don't want to cheer for your classmate, but how can you dampen his enthusiasm? You're the class monitor!"
"Yeah, you're just jealous. David is so much more talented than you. Not only did he write and compose his own song, he even sangwhile playing the piano. How can you compare to him?"
A few of the girls in class scolded Dean.
Now, David was the idol of a lot of the girls in David's class.
Back then, they never noticed David. However, after the Labor Day talent show, they noticed that David was getting increasingly handsome day by day. Plus, he even became very classy.
Right now, David had some fans in South River University.
Ava was also staring curiously at David as the latter walked onto the court. She wanted to see what else David could do.
Amelia was also here to watch David. There was an affectionate glint in her eyes.
Leo watched as David walked into the court. "David, don't forget 12 noon tomorrow. I'll listen closely to piece-of-trash Lidell's introduction."
"The match is not over yet. You never know who'll be the one listening to who's introduction."
"What? Do you think you'll win? Do you think you can turn the situation around by coming onto the court? You seriously overestimated your capabilities," Leo said sarcastically.
"We'll know once this is over. Alright, let's start."
David did not retort. He much preferred replying with his skills. What was the use of just saying he was great?
The more Leo spoke, the more painful it would be if he failed.
The ball was in David's court.
David stood at the three-point field and passed the ball to Patrick. Then, he hinted at Patrick to pass the ball back to him.
Patrick was about to dribble the ball to attack, but when he saw David's hint, he hesitated before passing the ball back to David.
David caught the ball and used his right hand to lift the ball above his head. The person opposite him right now was Leo's attendant. It was obvious that they were not worried about David at all.
More than 100 people at the scene could not take their eyes away from David. They wanted to see how h e would attack
Then, they saw David pushing the ball with his right hand before it flew out.
'What?'
'Does he know how to play or not?'
'He thinks the ball will go into the basket just like that?'
Everyone at the scene, including the people on the court, shared the same thought. The players even rushed under the board to snatch the rebound.
However, three seconds later, they were all stunned.
They watched the ball entering the basket without touching the net.
Team David 4 VS Team Leo 8.
"It went in? Can you believe that?"
"Damn, was he cheating?"
Even though a lot of them did not believe this, the ball indeed went into the basket.
"Go, David!"
"David, that looks so amazing! Do it again!
Some of David's fans started screaming for David.
The ball was in Leo's court for the next shot.
David went up to defend voluntarily while Patrick went to the restricted area to stand opposite Gorilla Max.
"David, don't think that you can change the situation because you got lucky. I'll show you what real basketball is."
Leo said and started displaying his fancy dribbling. He was now showcasing all kinds of fancy moves.
David was still standing in front of Leo, and he did not make any defense gestures.
"David, you're provoking me. I'll let you know the consequences of that."
Suddenly, Leo sped up and moved past David's right side. However, David did not react at all.
Leo was thrilled. When he got to the restricted area, he was about to jump and make a shot.
'Huh?
'Where is the ball?
'Where is my ball? Where did it go?'
Leo turned around and saw David holding the ball with his right hand at the three-point field. He then tossed the ball with the same movements as earlier.
The ball entered the basket without touching the net again.
Team David 6: VS Team Leo 8.
If the first time was luck, what was the second time?
There was an uproar at the scene.
"Damn, what a legend! How did he take the ball from Leo? Did you see it?"
"I didn't. My eyesight went blurry for a bit and then Leo's ball was taken from him."
"Damn, he was too f*cking fast!"
"Who said David doesn't know how to play basketball just now? He's an expert in this!"
Leo's face turned dark as he held the ball. This time, he did not say anything and he did not make so many fancy moves. He played steadily, and after he dribbled the ball causally, he intended to take the ball back and pass to Gorilla so that Gorilla could score another rebound.
However, before he took the ball back, he felt a breeze before the ball disappeared from his hands.
His ball was stolen from him again.
After David stole Leo's ball, he walked past the three-point field and turned around before casually tossing the ball into the hoop.
Thus, the ball went through the basket without touching the net again.
Team David 8 VS Team Leo 8.
At this moment, the scene was silent.
Everyone was astonished.
This was the third three-pointer that went into the basket without touching the net.
This was not just luck now.
David was definitely an expert who was playing dumb to take advantage of his opponents.
Leo asked for a timeout.
He had no choice. If David made another three-pointer, he would be finished. He had to discuss with his team how they could stop David.
