Chapter 104 The Long-Awaited Appearance

Time kept passing, and soon it was already one o'clock.

During this time, Big Teddy and his teammates were anxiously waiting.

The NBA players still didn't appear.

At this moment, Fred walked up to Eric and sneered, "Time's up, bastard. Are you going to lie and say that the star players are still stuck in traffic?"

"You're right, they are still on the way," Eric said.

Fred's teammates behind him snickered at this.

Fred waved his hand and said, "Alright, time's up now. Whatever lies you tell won't work. If you don't get on the court within a minute, consider it a forfeit."

After Fred finished speaking, he led his teammates onto the court.

"Eric, what do we do?" Big Teddy anxiously asked.

The other team members also looked extremely anxious.

After some contemplation, Eric said, “You guys go out first and hold on. Once they arrive, I'll call for a timeout and replace you. During your time on the court, don't worry about scoring, just give it your all in defense and don't let them score too much."

"That's all we can do," Big Teddy nodded.

"I hope they'll make it in time. If they miss the whole game, we're doomed today," the other teammates expressed their worries.

"Only thirty seconds left, if you don't go out now, you might as well surrender!" Fred shouted loudly on the court.

"I bet they're too scared to come out!"

"Haha!" The teammates behind Fred burst into laughter.

Hearing their piercing laughter, Eric's face grew darker.

"I promise you, no matter how happy you are now, you'll cry bitterly when the time comes," Eric muttered with narrowed eyes.

Upon hearing Eric's words, even Big Teddy and the others looked grim.

"Let's go! We'll go out first!" Big Teddy said, leading the basketball team towards the court.

The surrounding New York University students who were watching became very worried when they saw Big Teddy and the others step onto the court.

"They lost so badly last time, how are they going to play this time? They can't possibly beat New York School," someone said.

"Yeah, it feels like a game with no chance of winning. I still don't understand why Eric issued the challenge." many students couldn't comprehend.

Some students also said, "Since they dared to issue the challenge, maybe Eric has a plan. It's too early to conclude now, let's wait until the game starts."

"Now that you dare to issue the challenge, we have to give you a good beating!" Fred taunted.

The teammates behind Fred all made strange shouts and smirks, clearly enjoying themselves.

"You... You..."

Hearing these taunts, rage flashed across Big Teddy and the others' faces.

"What? Can't take it? If you can't take it, then beat us!" Fred put his thumb down, making a mocking gesture.

After Fred said these words, the referee blew the whistle and the game officially began.

Big Teddy and the others were filled with anger and naturally gave it their all, displaying their full strength.

However, due to the disparity in strength, despite their best defensive efforts, Fred had strong breakthrough ability.

Within the first minute of the game, Fred scored two points, and in the blink of an eye, he successfully made a three-pointer.

Five minutes into the game, the score had already widened to 12:0.

The nearly 4,000 New York University students watching the game had gloomy expressions at this moment.

"We're losing! We're losing! If this continues, we're bound to lose!"

"I thought Eric dared to issue the challenge because he had a foolproof plan or some trick up his sleeve, but this is the result!"

"If he didn't have a good plan, why did he even issue the challenge in the first place?"

"Where's the challenge letter? Isn't this harming New York University!"

If, before the start of the match, there were still some people who had hopes for this game because of Eric, by this very moment, after seeing the current statistics of the match, all their expectations and fantasies were completely shattered, and the students watching around lamented in despair.

Many blamed Eric in their hearts, thinking that he shouldn't have issued the challenge letter in the first place. Why would he go and challenge them when they had no chance of winning? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

The Big Teddy team on the court was also feeling miserable.

After Fred scored another point, Fred's teammates were excited, cheering and whistling, even making gestures of contempt.

The Big Teddy team, upon witnessing this situation, was naturally both angry and frustrated, but they were also helpless, after all, they were the ones falling behind.

"Timeout!" At this moment, Eric called for a timeout on behalf of the Big Teddy team.

After all, there were two timeouts during the match, and they couldn't be wasted. Eric wanted to use this time to delay a little.

Once Big Teddy's team regrouped with Eric, he said, "Eric, if they don't come soon, we'll probably lose today."

"Yeah," other teammates also wore worried expressions.

Eric looked up at the other side.

Fred, who was standing across the court, was now smirking and showing his contempt towards Eric, clearly satisfied with himself.

At this very moment, the nearly 4,000 students watching also erupted into noise and cries of despair.

The atmosphere in the gym had reached its breaking point!

Even Eric himself was starting to feel anxious because he knew that if the star players didn't show up soon, they would truly be in trouble today!

Just then, a bus drove up to the side of the court, and the onlookers cleared the way as the bus honked its horn.

"Where did this bus come from!"

"Why is a bus able to drive here?"

The students watching stared at the bus, their faces filled with confusion.

The sudden appearance of the bus drew the attention of everyone present. The bus finally stopped on the side of the court, and the doors opened.

Everyone fixed their gaze on the bus, wanting to know who would come out of it.

At this moment, a tall figure walked down from the bus. This person was about two meters tall and had a large build.

"Why does this person look a bit like NBA player Tim!"

"What do you mean 'a bit'? This... this is NBA player Tim! He's someone I can only see on TV! How did he end up here?!"

Among the watching students, someone recognized the person getting off the bus.

"Look, look! Everyone, look at what he's wearing!" someone exclaimed.

"Why would he come to New York University and still wear our uniform!"

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

There was an exclamation of surprise, Tim, a prominent NBA player and a key member of the team, unexpectedly appeared here?

The exclamations echoed throughout the surroundings, letting even those who didn't know Tim realize that he was a member of the NBA players!

Just at that moment, a second person also stepped off the bus. This person was over 2.1 meters tall, and in the eyes of everyone, he was like a small giant.

"This is Kareem, an NBA player! Oh my, another member of the NBA players."

Someone recognized the person who had just arrived.

"And he's also wearing our New York University basketball uniform!"

Just then, a third person got off the bus.

"Stephen! It's Stephen! It really is Stephen!"

"I can't believe I'm actually seeing Stephen with my own eyes! Am I…am I dreaming?"

As Stephen stepped off, the whole place erupted into excitement!

Although many in the crowd didn't know much about basketball, they had heard of the name Stephen.

"Oh my, even Stephen is here! And he's wearing our basketball uniform! Can someone please tell me what's going on? What's going on?!"

Amidst the excitement of the crowd, NBA players continued to step off the bus.

"Wow! It's Tim! Kareem! Stephen! The NBA players have finally arrived! Finally!"

Big Teddy was so excited that he almost jumped up and down.

"They really came! They really came!" Big Teddy's teammates were also excited, shouting loudly one after another.

For them, meeting their idols was one thing, but more importantly, they were their saviors!

"They've finally arrived."

After seeing the star players, Eric's face revealed a smile.
