Chapter 223 Shock

On the court, Cyrus shot Cameron a surprised look and then quickly exchanged glances with his teammates. Obviously, they’d need to keep an eye on Cameron now.

Cameron high–fived Xander, cool as ice. “Let’s keep going.”

Xander nodded and turned to the others. “Pass the ball to Cameron whenever you can.”

“Got it.” The teammates nodded firmly. Their energy was definitely up now.

The game resumed, and just as expected, two players immediately locked onto Cameron with suffocating defense. The other two remained focused on Xander.

“Cameron! Catch!” A teammate grabbed the ball and instantly hurled it Cameron’s way.

He regretted it immediately. The tall guy, Cyrus, was blocking Cameron completely. He just needed to raise his hand and the ball would be his.

But in the split second before Cyrus could reach up, Cameron leaped behind him and snatched the ball mid–air. Before anyone could even process what happened, Cameron slammed the ball toward the hoop.

The ball dropped cleanly through the net.

“Yeah! Three points!” The Langford Academy students jumped to their feet, cheering wildly. Meanwhile, the Horizon Academy crowd sat there looking completely shell–shocked.

‘Two three–pointers in just three minutes? How’s that even possible? That man is so short. How was he pulling this off?‘ they thought.

The score gap had narrowed to just 12 points. At this rate, Langford might actually turn this thing around.

The Horizon Academy students started chanting to boost their team’s morale. Langford’s fans fired back with their own cheers. The game was getting seriously intense.

“Dude, you’re insane!” Xander’s face was drenched in sweat as he flashed Cameron a thumbs–up, grinning from ear to ear. If Cameron had gotten in the game earlier, Horizon wouldn’t have steamrolled them like that.

Cameron’s expression barely changed. “They’re gonna switch tactics now. They’ll target me, so I’ll pass to you. Make those shots count.”

“No doubt.” Xander was all confidence.

Sure enough, Horizon Academy pivoted their strategy. They clamped down on Cameron with ruthless defense, which meant they were easing up on Xander.

Xander caught the ball and sank a two–pointer.

“Whoa!” the Langford Academy students gasped again while the Horizon Academy crowd looked increasingly grim. Cyrus‘ face darkened. What should have been an easy win was now complicated thanks to Cameron jumping in.

The game continued, and Cyrus finally managed another two–pointer. Langford Academy was still trailing by 12 points when the first 10 minutes of the second half ended.

“Xander,” Cameron said, “just play your game. Don’t worry about me.”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Xander looked confused.

“Exactly what I said.” Cameron’s face gave nothing away.

Xander was speechless.

As the game resumed, he quickly understood what Cameron meant. The Horizon Academy players were all focused on defending Cameron, who had zero problems running them ragged all over the court.

Cameron moved light as air while four of the Horizon players–everyone except Cyrus–were clearly running out of steam. They finally cornered Cameron under the basket with the ball.
