Samuel came to the realisation that Isabelle was a skilled basketball player.

Despite being annoyed by the trick, he didn’t find it too troublesome. Instead, he felt like mocking Isabelle and her team for using such a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing‘ tactic to lower their guard. 

Samuel hadn’t fully grasped Isabelle’s skill from her brief display, so he didn’t take it too seriously. Given her height and arm strength, she was at a disadvantage. He concluded that his carelessness had allowed her to gain the upper hand. 

Deciding not to underestimate her again, Samuel got serious. 

The referee threw the ball again. 

Samuel jumped with all his might, but before he could fully lift off from the ground, the ball was already in Isabelle’s hands. 

“Damn! Does she have springs in her feet?” One of the students in the audience shouted excitedly. 

The students in the audience were ecstatic. 

On the court, Isabelle swiftly dodged the opponents‘ attempts to block her. With an effortless jump, she broke through their defence and made a precise shot. 

Samuel and Danny barely took two steps before the ball was already in the hoop. 

This time, many people saw it clearly. The students in the audience couldn’t stay calm. “She can play basketball.” 

“Call that playing? She’s amazing!” Several students, who had been upset and were about to leave, sat back down in their seats. 

Danny, after being momentarily stunned, became excited. “There’s no need for us to take off our shirts now. You’re in for a show. Get serious, everyone.” 

He turned to Isabelle, who was heading his way, and said, “Boss, you’re so naughty and just teasing us. The boys are scared to death now. I knew it; you couldn’t have shown me that move last time and not know how to play. 

She actually didn’t know how to play. 

Samuel’s expression turned serious. He told his teammates to get serious, saying, “Pay attention to defence. She’s too fast. Whoever can keep up should block her tightly.” 

Samuel refused to believe he was outmatched. He thought he had been too careless and distracted. 

The referee threw the ball again., 

Samuel was ready, and he jumped with all his might. 

He thought this time there would be no surprises, but Isabelle’s bounce shocked everyone again. 

She grabbed the ball, dribbled, dodged, and made another precise shot.

In three consecutive throws, Samuel didn’t even touch the ball. While his teammates were trying to block Isabelle, he couldn’t even brush her jersey. They were simply too slow. 

The students in the audience were increasingly stunned. 

There was about to be a tie in the score. 

With one hand in her pocket, Isabelle dribbled the ball back. She said, “Don’t hold back. If you keep being so gentlemanly, the score will be tied.” 

Hold back? Gentlemanly? Samuel’s teammates wanted to curse. Samuel’s face turned red with frustration, but he held his tongue. 

He silently adjusted his stance and mindset. 

Isabelle said lightly, “First time playing: just practicing a bit. I’m getting the hang of it now.” 

Samuel, convinced that Isabelle was deceiving him, failed to understand her meaning when she mentioned ‘getting the hang of it. 

Isabelle proceeded to show what ‘getting the hang of it meant, demonstrating the difference between ‘practicing and ‘getting the hang of it. 

Everyone on the court, including the referee and PE teachers, witnessed Isabelle completely dominate the 

game. 

Isabelle learned as she went, and because she was a substitute player, she became a trump card. 

With each of Isabelle’s shots, the tied score rapidly increased. 

The enthusiastic cheers of the Taragon University students drowned out Samuel’s cheerleader squad and hundreds of classmates when the score first tied. 

As Isabelle’s extraordinary jumping and speed continued to shock everyone, the score widened, and the cheerleaders gave up.
