Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

215 The last quarter is ours

The end of the second quarter truly changed the flow of the game.

Hugo did most of the score in the second quarter, but when the professional players focused on him, the other members came in to display their play and scored some more.

Ending the second half of the game with only 18 gap points wasn't bad. It might still be huge, but the first score Hugo made brought this bubble of hope into the team's heart. His next point, and the next point that followed several seconds later, completely revived the team's fighting spirit. It didn't take long for them to play in sync.

"Isn't it strange?" Ginnie muttered, her interest was piqued watching this game unfold. "It feels like four versus one."

Penny's brows twitched, knowing the missing one in the five was Atlas. At this point, it did feel that way. Atlas barely had any contribution to the game because Hugo was taking all the spotlights. "Penny, your second brother is amazing" Lily tilted her head over Ginnie, looking at Penny in awe. "This is the first time I'm watching them play, but wow... I think I want to sign up for the basketball team fan club."

Ginnie and Penny chuckled.

"You can't do that when you're the president and spokesperson of Penny's fan club," said Ginnie, but deep in her heart, she also seemed to have fallen in love with this game.

Setting their attention to the game, they could feel the tension from both teams. There was also excitement and nervousness in the crowd, sharing the fighting spirit for their chosen team. Even though the crowd wasn't playing themselves, they were just as emotionally involved.

"You're right, Ginnie," Penny suddenly spoke after a moment. "I don't feel that the professionals were actually playing. They feel like they were just... stand-ins."

Ginnie looked at Penny. "I thought I was the only one who noticed. Isn't that weird? Weren't they here to help Max win the game?"

Penny shrugged and both of them shifted their attention to the court once more.

All scores from Max's team were from Max himself. His teammates the professional players from the minor league always passed the ball to him, Although they were still running and blocking their opponents, it didn't seem like they were playing very seriously.
