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

Chapter 903: This is going to be bad for them

BUZZ!

The end of the second quarter came with thunderous roars and whistles as the crowd's energy grew more intense. After five minutes of the game, Hugo's team slowly began to dominate the court. Despite Max's encouragement to his team, they were unstoppable.

"This is... amazing," Nina blurted out in disbelief. "Even though I don't fully understand it, I can't believe they closed the gap."

During the first quarter and the first five minutes of the second half, Team Hugo was still at zero. But now, not only had they reached half of Max's team's score, but they had also raised their chances of winning.

"They look exhausted," she added under her breath, her eyes on the other team.

On the court, Max was resting his hands on his knees, his eyes on the scoreboard, while his teammates were breathless.

"I didn't know they were actually good at this," Slater, who was sitting in the same row, murmured. "It's... kinda cool."

James couldn't take his eyes off the court and nodded. "It's a little weird too. Are they cheating?"

"No way in hell that's cheating." Another person seated next to James replied, even though they weren't talking to each other. "You can't just cheat in this game like that. Did you see that Blacky making three-pointers so casually? Not to mention, Dean Pierson and that Plus One-they're getting a little scary now."

Some were simply hyped by the situation that their cheering for their team intensified. Others, on the other hand, couldn't help but wonder what was going on. They simply couldn't believe what was happening. Just like the match looked fierce, the players also displayed an unexpected aura.
