Chapter 65
Flynn was well-built, and his defenses were strong. Under constant pressure, Joshua kept missing his shots and made a lot of mistakes in his passes. This caused the School of Finance to fall into a stalemate.
The School of Music seized the opportunity to gain the upper hand in the game. Flynn intercepted the ball from Joshua and scored a goal that shocked everyone.
Soon after, there was a 13-point difference between the two faculties, causing the audience to react strongly. The female students from the School of Music kept screaming and cheering Flynn on.
Luna was also cheering for Flynn. Turning around, she told Bella smugly, "Look how impressive Flynn is. Even if your boyfriend were to participate in this match, he wouldn't be able to defeat him.
"Anyway, your boyfriend isn't even participating in this round. He's passing water to everyone else."
Her words irritated Bella. Though Flynn was very impressive, Luna shouldn't have criticized Jack.
Meanwhile, when Queenie saw Joshua's poor performance on court, her expression turned gloomy.
Though she kept cheering for him, the audience around her laughed. They said, "Stop yelling. He's hardly making his shots. It's all his fault that the School of Finance lost so many points."
Queenie was so angry that she replied, "Why are you blaming Joshua? If you were the ones playing instead, you wouldn't be able to score a single point."
That said, she felt embarrassed since the difference between the two teams was so big.
The second quarter finally ended. The School of Music scored 35 points while the School of Finance scored 5 points.
The School of Finance was behind the opposing team by 17 points.
Although Joshua scored quite a few points, he was ineffective and wasted a lot of energy.
Isaac was worried that Joshua wouldn't be able to deal with it himself, so he decided to seize the opportunity and go on the attack in the second half.
After a short break, the third quarter started.
Once Isaac intercepted the ball, he started attacking the other team furiously. He scored more points than Joshua, giving hope to the School of Finance again.
Yet, Zayn Fiere and Flynn from the rival team cooperated with greater precision. Since Isaac seemed to be gaining the upper hand, they heightened their defenses around him.
After receiving the ball, Flynn leaped into the air and dunked the ball above Isaac. Not only did this move make the latter seem utterly pathetic, but it also dealt a blow to the basketball players in the School of Finance.
"Oh my God! Is that a riding dunk? That's impressive!"
"We're doomed. The School of Finance won't be able to win."
"This is terrible. The other team is annihilating ours."
Those from the School of Finance yelled agonizingly while the female students from the School of Music screamed in excitement. All of them thought that Flynn was amazing.
"The School of Finance has a bunch of lousy players," Flynn declared condescendingly. Then, he thumped his own chest arrogantly.
The riding dunk was a rare move in a competition like this, which made Flynn's decision to do so seem all the more impressive.
As a result, Joshua's confidence crumbled altogether.
While those from the School of Finance were upset, the students from the School of Music were joyful.
In fact, the cheerleaders from the School of Finance couldn't help but praise
Flynn. "He's so handsome!"
"I want him as my boyfriend."
"Dream on! Do you think you're as pretty as Phoebe?"
Since the cheerleaders from the School of Finance supported their opponent, the
faculty's basketball players went into a meltdown. Thɪs chapter is updated by Find★Novel.net
After three matches, the scores were 52 points versus 75 points.
The gap between both teams seemed very big.
Even if the School of Music didn't score any points in the last round, the School of Finance wouldn't be able to make a comeback.
As such, the School of Finance's basketball team was doomed to fail.
After coming to terms with what would soon be an embarrassing defeat, everyone from the School of Finance sighed dejectedly.
