This sudden incident sparked an immediate conflict, and Danny's crew looked ready for a fight..
The opposing students were wary of Danny's status and didn't dare to argue back, only making a few snide
remarks.
Seeing that the friendly match was about to turn into a brawl, the referee, risking at least a couple of hard slaps from Danny, stepped in to break it up. Danny's team helped their injured teammate to the side to rest.
The injured teammate waved his hand. "Danny, I twisted my ankle. I don't think I can play anymore. Besides, I'm running out of stamina."
"My stamina is shot too. I might have overdone it in practice these last couple of days. My legs are shaking like crazy.
Danny snapped. "You all look young and strong, but you're useless."
He glanced at the halftime score: 7 to 13.
They were ready to give up. "Where the hell am I supposed to find a substitute now?"
Zack chimed in, "Mr. Danny, I'm pretty good at basketball."
Danny felt like hitting him. "Did you forget you're from the other school? I'm pissed off right now, so you better stay out of my way." Wearing his number one jersey, Danny stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at the smug opponents.
Meanwhile, the opposing cheerleaders came out to pump up the crowd again.
The more Danny watched, the more annoyed he got. Suddenly, he thought of something.
Isabelle was replying to George's message when she got a call from Danny.
"Hey Boss, I'm in the middle of a game. We're at halftime now. Are you here yet?" He scanned the huge
stands.
Isabelle was unimpressed as she replied, 7 to 13? You guys are playing like crap. I was just about to leave. What do you need?"
"Don't go just yet. One of my teammates got hurt and can't play, and we have no substitutes. Can you help me out?"
Isabelle replied, "Can we bring in outside help? Give me a day, and I can get you some NBA players. Which ones do you want?" Danny didn't think she was joking at all.
"Don't mess around. This is supposed to be a student game, not an international tournament. I meant, Boss, do you know how to play basketball?"

Danny's heart sank. After hearing Isabelle's critique of their performance and remembering her impressive display on the track last time, he had hoped she was a hidden basketball prodigy. But she bluntly said she couldn't play.
At least she was honest.
Danny looked at his injured teammate. "Doesn't matter if you can't play. You've got good aim. I'll set you up for a few three-pointers. We might not win, but at least we won't lose too badly."
"Boss, please help us out. If we lose too badly, I might have to find an excuse to start a fight with them just to save face."
Imagine that a law student is thinking like this. But it wasn't a bad idea to salvage some pride and shift the focus.
Never mind that Isabelle couldn't play basketball. Her arm was still healing from a recent injury.
Danny was still pleading with Isabelle over the phone when another voice cut in. "If you need a substitute, our team can lend you one."
On the court, the captain of the opposing team walked up to Danny.
Was this a kind gesture? No, it was a provocation.
Danny's sharp gaze was fixed on the other captain, whose gloating expression made Danny's teammates look even more upset. "Don't act with mercy towards me. You've got two seconds to get back to your seat and stay put. And tell your damn cheerleaders to stop. It's halftime, and I'm sick of seeing that same lousy dance for the third time. It's making my eyes hurt.
The opposing player looked innocent. "Mr. Danny, friendship first, competition second. I'm just trying to help. I'm sorry this happened."
Danny snapped, "Say one more word, and I'll make you wear a skirt and lead the cheer.
nuel Clark nodded. "Alright, if you don't need a substitute, good luck."
At that moment, Isabelle's voice cut in nonchalantly, "I'll play."
"Boss." Danny looked at his phone and realised the call had ended, but that didn't matter. "Boss, you're going to play?" His eyes lit up.
Samuel glanced at Isabelle with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
The crowd started buzzing when they saw Isabelle step onto the court.
Especially the students from the other school, who craned their necks for a better look.
"Is that Taragon University's campus belle? She looks even better in person than in photos-way prettier than our campus belle. And she's not even wearing makeup. Is her skin and hair for real?"
"You can tell she has a great figure even in a hoodie. I can't believe I'm actually seeing her. This trip was worth it. Gotta take a picture?
"If I'd known, I would have worked harder to get into Taragon University. It's not just about seeing such a beautiful campus belle. I also want to meet the legendary Mr. George and Mr. Carter! And there's that
