"Ms. Reed, where are we going?" the driver asked as Amber got into the car.
Amber set her crutch aside and replied, "Sckycap Stadium."
"Alright." The driver answered and began driving.
Goldstone Co. was about an hour drive from Sckycap Stadium.
However, that stadium was near the airport, the most notorious congested area in Olkmore City.
Amber was caught in a traffic jam at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time spent stuck in traffic, it was already 4 p.m.
Logan stood on the basketball court in his number eight jersey. He was warming up while looking at the rows of seats on the other side.
When he saw that none of the two-seats he had reserved was occupied, his heart was filled with sadness and gloom.
What was wrong with them?
He couldn't believe that none of them showed up!
"Logan, what's up?" At that moment, a teammate walked over and patted his shoulder.
Logan shook his head and replied disappointedly, "Nothing."
"Alright then. Let's go over there. Coach is calling." After that, his teammate withdrew his hand and walked towards the players' rest area.
Logan cast another glance at the seats again before following his teammate.
Beep!
The players lined up as the whistle blew. The game then began after the players from both teams shook hands.
Logan was the team's ace small forward. When he got the ball from the center, he started to run.
He was fast and avoided his opponent's block in one shot. He quickly brought the ball inside the free-throw line. Then, he jumped and threw the ball.
The ball was thrown in!
The audience erupted in applause.
Logan and his teammates gave each other high-fives happily.
"Logan, you're excellent! You showed them what you've got from the beginning!"
"That's true! I'm sure that we will definitely win if we keep playing like this."
"Go for it, Logan!"
Logan's teammates encouraged him by patting his shoulder.
Logan nodded in response and darted his gaze to the audience. However, those two seats remained vacant.
Logan's eyes turned slightly red for a moment, and he felt even more aggrieved in his heart.
He had worked hard to secure the best seats, hoping that they would come to watch him play. However, none of them came!
He had been looking forward to it for a long time!
Logan wiped his eyes with his arms. He then returned to his original position with disappointment, but he was ready to grab the ball.
The ball was soon passed to him again by his teammates. He tapped the ball and was ready to attack.
However, the opponents sent three players to defend after knowing Logan's ability. Therefore, Logan was unable to launch his attack.
Logan's heart sank when he saw the three players guarding against him and realized he had been targeted.
This would be a challenging game!
Amber had finally arrived at the stadium at 4.30 p.m.
"Ms. Reed, I will wait for you in the car," said the driver after helping Amber get out of the car.
"Alright." Amber nodded and walked towards the stadium's entrance on her crutches.
She could hear sighs from the audience as she entered.
Amber looked around the court and noticed that many of the spectators were looking disappointed. She was intrigued by what had happened.
She discovered the sources of people's dissatisfaction after looking at the scoreboard.
The score was 20-40 for the national team against Country K.
The national team had been trailing by twenty points.
