"You guys play too well." Yu Hao and Huang Ting passed by each other, "If it wasn't because I held them back, and if Xia Lei was here instead, you guys wouldn't have been able to win against Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun."

The team leader Huang Ting answered, "We're both the ones holding them back, it's okay."

Yu Hao dribbled the ball, "How are you holding anyone back??"

Huang Ting often participated in the basketball matches hosted by the public security system, and he was so damn dauntless. Chen Yekai was afraid that he would slam into Yu Hao, so he didn't let him guard Yu Hao lest he couldn't restrain his impulses and end up fighting with Zhou Sheng. However, it would be fine if he ran into Zhou Sheng a bunch of times.

Huang Ting said, "They say that this is the match with the highest attractiveness index in Ying City's history, so aren't I holding you guys back?"

Yu Hao's face was covered in sweat. He wiped his face and smiled as he looked at the audience. This really was the match with the most spectators ever since the start of the competition; there were even people filling the aisles.

The scores of both teams were constantly neck and neck, but Chen Yekai's team was always suppressing them very firmly. Yu Hao felt like the other team still had more in their tank, but they didn't want to pull their scores apart too much to give his team some face. It was not until Fu Liqun requested a break that this match began approaching its end.

Yu Hao was so tired he couldn't run anymore. Zhou Sheng's and Fu Liqun's jerseys were also completely soaked because of their sweat.

"This team is strong." Zhou Sheng said.

Fu Liqun said, "Four points short, there's still hope."

Yu Hao thought that it should be over at this point, but he didn't say it. Fu Liqun came up with a last-minute plan. Zhou Sheng said, "Don't feel pressured, just play however you want."

Fu Liqun said, "Yu Hao, if you really can't take it, then take a break, jiayou! If we don't make it there's always next year!"

Yu Hao's vision was already a little blurry. He had been forced to his limit and was now relying solely on willpower to hold on. He cheered with a 'jiayou' along with Fu Liqun and Zhou Sheng before they each turned around and ran back onto the court. The referee blew the whistle. Yu Hao and Chen Yekai went for a one-on-one again. No one said anything and focused all their attention on their teammates.

Chen Yekai, "Tired? Take a break. If you can't hold on don't push yourself."

"Don't go easy on me." Yu Hao said.

"Do I need to?" Chen Yekai and Yu Hao jumped up at the same time. Yu Hao intercepted the ball in mid air, drawing an arc from top to bottom before suddenly passing the ball towards Zhou Sheng like a shooting meteor. Zhou Sheng used his shoulder to forcefully knock Huang Ting away, dribbled a lay-up, and scored.

Yu Hao totally didn't expect that Zhou Sheng would explode with such tremendous force right at the last moment and shouted, "You're so cool!"

Zhou Sheng wiped off the sweat on his face and violently shook his head. He pointed at the scoreboard and quietly gazed at Yu Hao with a meaningful look in his eyes — indicating that there was still a chance and to stay calm.

"Take a break!" Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao, "Don't worry about winning or losing!"

Yu Hao nodded reluctantly and stood at the edge of the court, gasping for breath. His calf was starting to cramp up.
