Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 906

Chapter 906: Almost

DING!

DING!

DING!

The bell rang on the court at quick intervals while the scoreboard continued to add more points to Hugo’s team. Meanwhile, Max’s team’s score stagnated. Although there were times Max would get lucky and score a point, it wasn’t enough to create a gap between their scores.

At the last straw of the third quarter, the score was tied.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!" Max’s supporters shouted in unison, trying not to lose hope.

Earlier, many of the supporters had started to feel devastated. Not that Max’s team was pathetic, but it felt like watching a massacre. Even so, those who still believed didn’t want to lose faith. Therefore, they encouraged everyone to keep cheering.

Max’s team hadn’t surrendered yet. So, they should keep cheering.

"It’s okay, team! We’ll try again!"

"Don’t lose hope! Keep fighting!"

"Team Max, cheer up! We’ll keep on fighting!"

At the same time, Team Hugo’s fans also cheered even more fiercely. Many of them were excited, watching how the team had managed to close the huge gap, and now the score was tied. There were still three minutes left until the third quarter ended.

There was still plenty of time for their team to get ahead. Thus, the cheering intensified.

"Senior Hugo, we love you~!"

"Go, Senior Atlas!"

"Blacky, do another three!"

"Senior Dean, you’re doing great! Keep it up! Another point for us!"

"One more point! Break their defense, Plus One!"

Despite having one last quarter after this, it felt like this was the final one. One reason was that if Hugo’s team continued to dominate the court, it would be harder for Team Max to catch up.

"Why do I feel nervous?" Nina wondered to herself, clasping her hands together to stop them from shaking. To her surprise, Penny’s hand suddenly clasped hers, making Nina look up at her.

Penny smiled. "You’re nervous because we’re already at the peak of this game."

"..." Nina pressed her lips into a thin line. "Will they win?"

"Is that a question?" Penny replied, chuckling. "I think I already answered that when I placed my bet on our team."

Nina smiled wryly, breathing heavily. "There’s another quarter left, but it feels like a deciding point."

"Because it is," said Penny, snapping her eyes at the court. "If Max can’t think of anything else, the remaining three minutes will be the deciding point. Just look at them."

Nina instinctively gazed at the court. "What am I supposed to see here?"

DING!
