Love Diary novel Chapter 10

On the court, Fiona had changed into her sportswear and started to prepare for the game, while Clare stood beside the basketball stand on the other side. Before she came to the court, she changed into a simple casual T-shirt and a pair of casual shorts. Her hair was tied up in two strands casually, which made her feel like a little girl next door. Holding a small bottle of sports drink in her hand, she talked with Lydia and Celine beside her with a smile, and at the same time, she warmed up her hands and feet casually.

As for the referee of this competition, Fiona specially invited Zack, the leader of the sports team, to attend the 15 minute time trial. The one who got the most points would win. After making sure that they were ready, Zack whistled and the competition began.

Fiona got the ball first, and as soon as she got it, she began to rush under the basket. Clare followed her unhurriedly, but when she was about to reach the basket, Clare suddenly accelerated, turned sideways and moved her hand. Before anyone could see what happened, the ball had already been in her hand.

Fiona didn't expect her to be so skilled and was stunned because of that. But she soon realized that she underestimated her enemy. She adjusted her state of mind and caught up with her.

Fiona was the first one who got a score. It was two points. However, Clare quickly reversed the situation with a three point throw.

After a few rounds, the score between the two was still on a par. Clare had to admit that, in terms of experience and skills, Fiona was indeed better than her, but fortunately, under her brother's devil training, her shooting skill had always maintained· accurate. Gradually, she found one weakness of Fiona, that was, impatience.

Fiona's play was offensive. She was too anxious to score, so as long as she got the ball, she would rush to the basket, and she was weaker in defense because of that. Moreover, after the ball was taken away, her first reaction was to get back the ball, instead of defending the other party's shot in an advantageous position.

When there were only 2 minutes left, the score of the two was 34:34, evenly distributed. Obviously, the one who got the ball would win in the next two minutes. If no one scored, they would have to hold an extra time match.

Fiona jumped up and shot.

Almost everyone's heart rose in an instant. Even Carl unconsciously shifted his attention from the PSP to the court.

The basketball hit the basket frame, but it didn't go in. Clare seized the opportunity, jumped up and grabbed the basketball ahead of Fiona. She turned around and ran under the basket. Fiona quickly caught up with her and stopped her in front of the basket.

Clare frowned, but quickly unfolded it. She decisively turned around and ran back. Fiona didn't understand what she was thinking. She was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses and caught up with Clare, she found that she had arrived at the three point line.

Clare stood up and jumped. Fiona also jumped, but it was too late.

"Oh..."

People outside the court took a deep breath nervously.

The ball hit the frame and spun around——

Before it could get in, the ball fell down from the side.

"Alas..."

The onlookers sighed with disappointment at the same time.

Clare couldn't help but utter a "eh", feeling a little pity in her heart: what a wonderful three-point ball! She made a mistake.

Clare got the ball again 30 seconds before the competition was over. She took the ball to the basket, and Fiona quickly stopped in front of her. Clare didn't turn around, but gently jumped up, and Fiona jumped up to block her. Clare suddenly bowed to the ground, quickly turned around Fiona, layup· and got the score.

At the same time, the whistle of the end of the competition rang.

Fiona held her breath for a long time, thinking, 'It was just a fake move! I I· lose?!

Clare secretly let out a sigh of relief and felt happy inwardly. In fact, Fiona's physical strength was better than she thought. If she played extra time, she was likely to lose. Fortunately, she won.

Her mouth was a little dry. Clare habitually took a sip, and then walked towards Lydia and Celine, smiling and clapping with the two to celebrate.

"You did make rapid progress. Good job." Lydia gave her five· and handed the drink to her with appreciation.

"Thank you." Clare took the drink, unscrewed the cap and took a big sip. HMM… Nice.
