Love So Sweet

716 Fu Chen was Heavily Guarded

Soon, everyone was gathered on the basketball court.

Yang Xu stared at Fu Chen in front of him with his eyes full of discontent. He was still not able to accept that Fu Chen managed to beat the previous team. Although Yang Xu did not think that Fu Chen will be able to win this time, he also thought that perhaps, it would be better if they did not underestimate Fu Chen that much.

“Yang Xu, I hope that you will still hold to your words,” Fu Chen spoke. “You will let me join the basketball team if my team wins this match.”

Yang Xu gritted his teeth tightly.

Even if he wanted to pretend that he did not agree, Bai Xi Xi and Lin Xiao Tong were around when he gave their words.

Moreover, because of this match, a few members of his team had already spread the news that Fu Chen wanted to have this match because he wanted to join the basketball team.

Initially, they wanted to embarrass Fu Chen by spreading this news.

But now, it seemed that their moves were backfired.

If he did not agree now, wouldn’t others know about this? Then, the person who would be embarrassed was them

.....

“I know what I have agreed to,” Yang Xu spoke. “But first, you have to win this match against us. Only then can we talk about this matter”

Fu Chen smiled. “Alright.”

The teacher stood at the center to brief them about this match.

Then, the whistle was blown and the second match started.

Yang Xu grabbed the ball and quickly passed it over to his teammate.

After watching Fu Chen’s match just now, the basketball team decided that it was better for them to beat Fu Chen in the game earlier so that he will realize the difference between him and the team.

All they wanted to do was to get the ball away from Fu Chen. Once the basketball was farther than Fu Chen, the boy would not be able to do anything.

As for the rest of Fu Chen’s team members, the basketball team decided not to care much about them. After all, their skill was not that good.

On the basketball court, Fu Chen’s team member was quick to avoid Yan Li and the boys from touching the balls.

Easily, the basketball team made their first move. Xia Feng stood behind the hoop and jump up high scoring their first point with his slam dunk.

The crowd started to cheer and the smug look on the basketball team members was too apparent.

At the side, Bai Xi Xi was observing the play with her eyes narrowed. Around her, there was not a member of the basketball team to guard against her. Meanwhile, two boys were guarding against Fu Chen.

After observing the match for a few minutes, Bai Xi Xi was finally able to figure out what the basketball team wanted to do.

They wanted to prevent Fu Chen from getting near the ball.

Perhaps, they all thought that by preventing Fu Chen from touching the ball, they could defeat Fu Chen easily. But, their thoughts were quite right.

Seeing how Fu Chen was heavily guarded, the others began to feel a little demotivated. Even if they managed to get the ball, they would not know who they should pass it to.

Bai Xi Xi figured that this might be because she let Fu Chen shine on the basketball too much.

It seemed that they will have to figure out another plan.

Soon, the first quarter ended. Fu Chen and his team went to the side for a quick break. Bai Xi Xi looked at her team members and saw the disappointed look on each of everyone’s faces.

They were no longer as spirited as they were earlier.

Bai Xi Xi had her arms on her waist. She considered this matter for a while and finally spoke, “The basketball team is keeping a tight look on Fu Chen. When you guys have a chance to get the ball later, you can try and pass the ball to me. The boys were not guarding against me. Passing the ball should not be that difficult.”

Her teammates looked at each other before nodding.

Bai Xi Xi looked at Yan Li. “Among the others, your shot was quite good. Yan Li, I will try to pass the ball to you and you can try to score.”

Yan Li looked at Bai Xi Xi in shock. “Me?”

A faint smile appeared on her face. “We’ll use this plan first and see how they will change their tactics later.”

Yan Li looked hesitant. But in the end, he nodded.

Then, Bai Xi Xi looked at Fu Chen. “Fu Chen, you have to try to get away from their tight guard. This match is for you. You have to show them that you are good enough to join the team.”

Fu Chen scratched the tip of his nose. “Class Monitor, I know. I will do my best.”

He also realized that this match happened because he wanted to join the basketball team. The others were helping him. Therefore, he has to shine more.

Otherwise, even if they win this match, the others would still say that he was not good enough.

Fu Chen inhaled a deep breath as he tried to calm down and process what was going on. Then, he looked at his team members, “This time, they are working together to suppress me. But if we look clearly, they were not as united as it seem. We can defeat them with our teamwork.”

There was a glint in Bai Xi Xi’s eyes as she looked at Fu Chen. Seeing that he was finally taking charge made her smile.

“Everyone, we have practiced hard for the past few days,” Fu Chen continued. “Let’s just do this like how we have practiced before.” A faint smile curled on his lips. “I will have to count on you guys to help me win this game.”
