Dexter was point guard; Tyler was shooting guard; Luke was small forward; Leo was power forward while Gordon was center.
After seeing this lineup, Class E, who was about to go up against Class F, laughed in disdain. “The main task of the shooting guard is to score. First, he needs to be a good solo shooter with the ball, or a very stable receiver and shooter. Secondly, he needs to slip through gaps to shoot from the outside line. Can that clown even reach the hoop?”
Tyler, who was in charge of shooting guard, wasn’t mad when he heard this. Instead, he put on a bright smile and thought to himself, Do they really think I can’t reach the basketball hoop? That’s a piece of cake…
Meanwhile, Gordon, who was in charge of center, suited the role. The center was the most important position and required the player to be tall enough to stop the opponent so Gordon was feeling really confident.
The Beasts and Gordon got ready and waited for the coach to blow the whistle. As expected, the coach blew on his whistle a minute later. The players from Class E licked their lips, prepared to defeat the dwarfs of Class F. They were confident that the players from Class F would lose so badly that they would be too ashamed to look anyone in the eye. Sure enough, the players of Class E had good moves and they soon scored their first point.
The cheerleaders standing outside the court shouted, “Go Class E! Come on, Class E!” Seeing that things weren’t going well, Abby raised the only Class F sign in the crowd and cheered. She put on a rare strong front and shouted fiercely, “Come on, Class F!”
Janet turned around and glanced at her before smiling helplessly. It’s impossible that Class F would lose. Perhaps The Beasts and Gordon were secretly going easy on them. The players of Class E looked at their opponents in an ostentatious manner and one of them said, “Class F, just hurry up and admit defeat already.”
Another teammate chimed in, “He’s right. Surrendering right now will be less embarrassing.” A flicker appeared in Dexter’s eyes and he countered, “We’ll see!” With that, he passed the ball to Gordon and he managed to escape Class E’s interception, successfully passing the ball to Tyler. Standing outside the two-point line, Tyler raised his hands and threw the ball toward the basketball hoop in a parabolic arc.
Everyone present focused their eyes on the ball. Meanwhile, the players from Class E watched Tyler’s movements in disdain. A dwarf won’t be able to score. No one expected the ball to go straight into the hoop. “It’s in! It’s in!” Abby raised the cheer card in her hand and shouted in excitement. The players of Class E pressed their tongues against their cheeks and said unconvincingly, “It really went in?”
All four members of The Beasts smiled brightly and yelled, “That was easy!” Hearing this, the players from Class E glanced at each other and clicked their tongues. “You only scored one point. What are you so proud of?”
“Just you wait and see!” Tyler replied, reluctant to show weakness. With that, the game on the court continued.
A few minutes later, many students from Class F arrived at the basketball court. It was because they heard the coach broadcast the scores and didn’t expect Tyler to successfully score… Even Daisy, who was looking through her students’ homework, put down her pen and headed outside to watch the match. Looking at the few short figures on the court, a smile appeared on Daisy’s face. At least these few kids didn’t embarrass me.
As for Janet, she watched from a distance, kicking at a pebble beside her foot and looking really bored. The game reached the climax as Tyler and Gordon scored three pointers several times in a row and the players from Class E didn’t even have the chance to touch the ball. As soon as players of Class E got the ball, it was quickly snatched by Dexter. The students from Class E and the entire audience were so dumbfounded that they stared at The Beasts with their mouths wide open. A-Are these four dwarfs on steroids? Why are they as strong as bulls? Everybody glanced at each other in confusion and started talking.
“I didn’t expect these four dwarfs to have such great jumps.”
“Exactly. Their physical strength is really good. They didn’t even pant!”
“What’s going on? Are these people from the basketball team?”
“I don’t think so. After all, their height doesn’t meet the requirements of the basketball team…”
