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

216 Last five seconds of the game

At the start of the fourth quarter, Max tried his best to widen the gap. Whenever he stole the ball or got his hand on it, it would go straight to the ring. No matter where he was in the court, it was always a score. At this point, he accepted that he was on his own.

Therefore, even if he got the chance to pass the ball, he wouldn't. He treated his own team as non-existent. If they didn't want to help, then he would prove to them he could win on his own. His pride in showing everyone he was capable of fueled him and eventually entered the zone.

However, just as he was on for another point, Hugo suddenly appeared in front of him. The two of them had been on head-to-head since the start of the fourth quarter. Hugo was the reason the gap between their scores hadn't moved until now.

Every time Max would score, Hugo would also score right after. Both teams' scores actively moved because of this.

Now, facing each other, the tension in the court rose. Even the crowd went quiet for a second.

Their eyes were sharp and glinting and, for some reason, the audience couldn't help but imagine a tiger and a fox over them gnawing at each other.

Dribbling the ball, Max took a step and Hugo timely moved in a defense position.

"Tch," Max snickered and was about to bolt past him, only to catch the smirk on Hugo's face. This brief distraction opened up an opportunity for the school basketball team to steal the ball from him. "Shit!" "Two points for the school basketball team!"

"Kyahhh!!!"

"Nice one! Just five more points!"

"Hugo, I love you!!!!! Marry me after this game!!!"

"Kyaaaah!"

The crowd cheers erupted in the court, this time, wilder than it ever was. Even those who weren't into sports couldn't help but feel exhilarated by the intense battle between the teams, especially Hugo and Max. They were both

amazing in their own way to the point they were

inspiring more people to grow an interest in sports.

Surely, right after this game, their fan clubs would grow more than ever.

"Tch!" Max clenched his teeth, gazing at their scores that now have a five-point difference. Glaring at his teammates, he felt bitter in his heart.

After all, they started defending seriously and giving Max the chance to sco But even with that, it only proved to them that this game was
