"Logan plays basketball as a hobby. Even if he stops playing, he can still go home and squander money for other fun stuff. As for you, you play basketball to earn a living. Moreover, it's just a try-out for you, and it's still unclear whether you'll enter the national team or not," Amber looked at the boy with a pitiful look and continued, "Such a pity."
"You are… You!" The boy's mother was furious.
Logan felt pleasant as he looked at Amber who was roasting the boy and his mother calmly.
Logan shivered as he looked at Amber, who walked towards him. Then, he rushed up to her, pulled her coat sleeves and begged in a low voice, "I want to play basketball. Can you please let me take part in the try-out and not let Hayden take me back with him?"
"When did I say I would let Hayden take you back?" Amber looked at him and continued, "Or do you want to go back with him?"
Logan was stunned, and he continued, "Then, then why did Hayden…"
"He sent me here."
"Oh, I see," Logan patted his chest and continued, "I thought he was here to take me back, and this scared me to death."
Amber ignored him, and she went over to shake hands with the coach, "Hello, I am Logan Farrell's sister. I'm sorry that something held me off at the company just now, and I could only rush over here."
"It's fine. It's glad to see you here."
After shaking hands with Amber, the coach handed her the contract and said, "Logan is very talented, and I'm sure he will pass the try-out! Don't worry about leaving him with me. I will do my best to guide him well."
Amber smiled and responded, "I'm sure that I can rest assured with your words."
Amber opened the contract and was about to sign it, but the parents behind her yelled, "I watched them play basketball just now. Logan's performance was average, and he didn't play as good as my son. Why should he participate in the try-out?"
"Yes, I saw that too. He didn't play well"
The coach calmly explained to the parents, "I'm the coach. I know how the students are playing better than you. Logan was outstanding at playing basketball…"
"Did his brother approach you, coach?" One of the parents inquired tentatively, and the meaning of the words was obvious.
"That's fu… bullshit!" Logan was about to explode. He ground his teeth when saying, "I played basketball well. What's with my brother? Don't slander me!"
"We don't think you're a good player either, Logan!" A few boys who had signed the try-out contract agreed with their parents.
"Hey, you guys…" The coach was afraid that any words he said would spark an argument.
Amber squinted her eyes as she observed the coach's helpless look. Then, she put down the pen and shouted towards Logan, "Logan, since your classmates don't think that you can play basketball well. Then, why don't you guys have a match?"
