"So, can someone tell me who she really is? How does she know so many big shots?"
Samuel's eyes fixed on Isabelle, and he introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Samuel from the university next door. I've heard a lot about you but never had the chance to meet."
Before he finished, Danny interrupted, "Have you heard about how George is head over heels for her?"
That remark had shattered all of Samuel's fantasies.
Samuel tried to maintain his composure but was clearly dissatisfied. He replied, "I heard you and Mr. George know each other. Given your age difference, I assumed you were either relatives or friends."
Danny held up his phone and declared, "Okay, I have recorded that and am sending it to Mr. George now."
Samuel's expression changed instantly, looking at Danny's phone in panic. He pleaded, "Danny, there's no need for that."
With a calm yet warning tone, Isabelle said to Samuel. "It's not very polite." It was both a reminder and a warning.
Samuel apologised, "I just..."
Isabelle cut him off and said, "You should go prepare. Also, remind your teammates that it can get rough on the court. They should be careful."
Swallowing his pride, Samuel turned to leave but stopped after a few steps, asking Isabelle, "Are you going to play as a substitute?"
Danny snapped, "Are you done yet? Why are you dragging this out?"
Samuel ignored Danny. He tried to show some chivalry but spoke sarcastically, "If you're playing. I'll go easy on you."
Danny fumed, "Who are you insulting, motherfucker?"
Isabelle suggested, "How about a bet?"
Samuel raised an eyebrow and asked, "What kind of bet?"
"If your team loses, you have to run around our campus shirtless," Isabelle proposed.
She would let them keep their pants, considering Magnus's age.
Samuel smirked. "Alright. If you lose, who's running?" He cast a glance at Danny.
Danny volunteered. "If we lose, I'll lead the run."
Samuel laughed and said, "I'm looking forward to it.
Before he left, he glanced at Isabelle again. If it weren't for George and Danny, he would have definitely tried something.

Danny's teammates, suffering from a sprained ankle, made a joke.
Predictably, Danny shot back with some verbal jabs.
Danny lifted his shirt and declared, T've got abs. I'm not afraid, Even if I have to strip down to my underwear, I'm ready."
His teammates stared at him, speechless.
Isabelle was also at a loss for words as she looked at him.

Logan, who had arrived, was also speechless. He sighed and said, "How about I play? Despite the fact that I rarely play, I am at least a guy with some strength. If that doesn't work, we can ask my brother. Beside studying, he spends all his free time playing basketball and working out. Actually, he's pretty good at it."
Danny dismissed him, saying, "Stay out of it. It's not your turn yet."
Isabelle stated, "I'll play centre and get the ball.”
This statement, indicating she didn't even know the positions, showed how little she understood the game.
Her impressive long shot last time must have been a mix of luck and strength.

"Boss, are you really going to play centre? You're barely 165 cm, and Samuel is 180 cm. I don't have abs, not even a bit. So, if possible, I'd like to keep my dignity, another teammate said weakly, not wanting to run.
His teammates murmured in agreement.
Danny asked, "Boss, are you sure you can play centre?"
Isabelle replied, "Don't believe me? Let's do it."
Danny quickly agreed and said, "Alright, I believe. You play centre."
With Danny's word, no one else dared to object.
They resigned themselves to the fact that they were going to lose anyway. Whether Isabelle played centre or not, it just determined how bad the loss would be.
Before the game, Danny explained the rules to Isabelle.
"Boss, do you understand?"
Isabelle, with hands in the pockets of her hoodie, simply replied, "Yeah."
She had already figured out the rules in the first half.
And she didn't have to closely follow them.
After her answer, everyone felt a bit nervous, instinctively touching their stomachs.
Danny tried to reassure her. It's okay. Boss, why don't you change your clothes? That hoodie is too cumbersome."
Tabelle diçmisced the ides. "It's only fifteen minutes of game. Not worth the effort"

The second half began.
Isabelle stood in the centre position opposite Samuel, causing the spectators to murmur.
"What's going on? Isabelle's playing? As centre? Is this a joke?"
"Yeah, what the hell? I skipped class for this. I'm here to watch a game, not... whatever this is."
"Are they just giving up and letting Isabelle play? Even when they lose, they usually show some sportsmanship. What's this?"
"Danny spoils her too much. I'm so jealous!"
