Li Yanchen and Luo Xi becoming rivals was the highlight of this mission.

Everyone wanted to know who would win, and who would lose. They also wanted to know if Luo Xi would deliberately go easy on Lin Wan.

The netizens commented that the Festival Group was deliberately trying to stir up trouble.

There were also a few netizens who said that Lin Wan and Luo Xi were just high school classmates. They emphasized that they were children in high school. Some said it was wrong to misunderstand them, and people should stop putting them together every time.

After the two teams got into formation, they walked to the center of the field. The match began after the whistle.

Because of the addition of the four mothers, the scene was extremely chaotic. The mothers, who had snatched the ball, ran around the court with it in their arms.

Not wanting to be accused of bullying the weak by the netizens, the fathers saw the mothers running with the ball and retreated to their own baskets. Only playing defense.

The staff members looked at the match and began regretting issuing this mission.

[Does anyone understand what’s happening? Who’s on whose team again?] [I suspect that the four mothers don’t even know which team they are in.]

[Teacher Xia has already carried the ball and walked two rounds around the court. Didn’t she learn this in physical education class? I’m really afraid she’ll send the wrong message.]

[Don’t worry. None of the mothers know how to throw the ball. They all carry it and run.]

[Forgive me for my ignorance, but can basketball be played like this?] [Sister Wan is really using her strength]

[Lin Wan actually knows how to dribble! She didn’t run away with the ball.

Does that mean Lin Wan will play?]

[Lin Wan ran to the three-point line and passed the ball to Li Yanchen.] Li Yanchen received the ball and launched an attack while everyone was still in a daze.

“Defend, quickly!” Luo Xi stepped forward.

[Mr. Li is so fast. Luo Xi and the others were too careless when they were only watching the mothers’ performance.]

[Weren’t Luo Xi and Lin Wan high school classmates? Did he know that she could play basketball? Did he deliberately throw the game?]

[It’s impossible for brother to go easy on her on purpose. I’m surprised to see brother’s expression.]

[Maybe Lin Wan only learned how to play basketball in university.]

While the live comments were still discussing whether Luo Xi had thrown the game, Li Yanchen scored a goal.

The crowd cheered.

“Daddy scored a goal! Daddy scored a goal!” Li Zekai jumped up in joy.

Jian Jia pouted. ‘Does Uncle Li’s goal mean my daddy lost?’ he wondered. Li Zekai ran toward his brother. “Brother! Daddy scored a goal!”

“Mr. Li, you’re really good at hiding your skills,” Li Zexuan said with a smile.

It was rare for Xiao Tianlin to take the lead, so he walked over to Li Yanchen’s side and hugged him. “Brother Li, you’ve done well. Keep working hard.”

Lin Wan also gave Li Yanchen a thumbs up.

“Continue.” The staff reminded them.

All the members in Luo Xi’s team were on high alert now, because they had lost a point out of carelessness.

The ball was now in Xia Mo’s hands, and she ran with it, while team Luo Xi sent Nannan to follow.

The other fathers were on guard against the three boys on Li Yanchen’s team.

Luo Xi’s team knew that Li Yanchen was the strongest player in the other team. If the ball was passed to him, Luo Xi’s team would all aim their firepower to intercept him. In the end, they even sent a mother with Michael to defend.

Xiao Yi knew that the other party had already decided to target Li Yanchen, so he launched an attack.

[Wind God! I almost forgot about you.]

[Xiao Yi’s dribbling posture is so powerful.]

[With the main person surrounded, Luo Xi’s team ignored the Wind God.] [Xiao Yi is glowing. He’s the most handsome guy on the court at this moment.]

[A goal! That’s great! It’s been half an hour since the game started. The team with the most goals will win.]

[Big brother lost again! This isn’t fair! Everyone in Li Yanchen’s team is amazing! In Luo Xi’s team, only Luo Xi plays well.]

[Yes, that’s too much. Xiao Yi is on the school team. Everyone saw Li Yanchen’s match in the morning. I didn’t expect Lin Wan to know how to play too. Now, look at Luo Xi’s team. Other than Luo Xi himself, the others are just there for show.]

The bullet screen began to protest in Luo Xi’s defense.

In the audience, although Jian Jia couldn’t figure out much, he knew that the cheers were for Uncle Li’s team. His father had lost again.

His tears fell. He muttered. “Daddy…”

Wheatley and the other children walked over to him. “Jian Jia, don’t cry. It’s only a game. Besides, it has just started. There is still time.”

“But daddy keeps losing. I don’t want daddy to lose.”

Li Zekai stopped smiling. He held Jian Jia’s hands. “It’s alright. It’s not the end yet. Remember the tug-of-war a little while ago? We thought we were going to lose, but we won in the end, didn’t we?”

Jian Jia nodded and wiped his tears away. “Brother Jiejie, do you know of any other way to win?”

The two children were clearly on different sides, but they discussed how they could help their fathers win.

Half an hour had passed, and all the mothers on the field were already panting.

“Wanwan, I can’t take it anymore.” Xia MO clutched her chest. “I haven’t exercised like this in a long time. It’s like I can hear my heart about to stop beating.”

“Just do what you can based on your body’s endurance,” said Lin Wan. She was sweating too. “Stand still. Don’t run too much. I can see that Nannan and Lawyer Tao are exhausted too.”

Li Yanchen saw that Lin Wan had both her hands on her knees and was bending over with fatigue. He walked to her. “Wanwan, you and Xia MO can just rest. Don’t run too much. We will handle it.”

“Wanwan, let’s stand aside. It’s useless to do this.” Xia MO looked at the hesitant Lin Wan.

Nannan and Tao Jingyuan also retreated outside the three-point line. The basketball game had become a six-person showdown.

[Brother, are you going to have one-on-one with Li Yanchen? They seem to be at loggerheads.]

[The strongest in defense. Other than big brother, who else can stop Li Yanchen from scoring?]

[No one is defending Magician Xiao. Teacher Zheng and Michael are both defending Xiao Yi.]

[Is this a tacit understanding that magicians are the weakest? Doesn’t the magician care about his reputation? You can’t score without anyone defending.]

Li Yanchen dribbled the ball towards his opponent’s basket to attack, while Luo Xi swayed to his left and right, waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball. The two of them were caught in the game for a long time, until Xiao Y raised his hand and shouted, “This way!”

With a feint, Li Yanchen quickly turned around and leaped up to pass the ball.

Xiao Yi, who got the ball, shook off Zheng Kuo and Michael and ran straight to the basket.

Another goal!

The whistle sounded to signify the end of the game. Li Yanchen’s team had won.

In this match, Li Yanchen’s individual goal count had exceeded Luo Xi’s total goal count. He gave a thumbs-up to the camera.

[Mr. Li’s team won!]

[Xuanxuan actually sat on the bench for an hour and twenty minutes. Where’s the chance for a replacement?]

[The four mothers left the stage together, and Xuanxuan couldn’t substitute for anyone.]

[Luo Xi didn’t lose. Big brother is great. It’s his teammates who are too new to the game.]

[That’s right. In my heart, big brother is number one.]

In front of the camera, Lin Wan gave Li Yanchen a thumbs up. “You are my idol,” she said to him.

The staff member, who hadn’t yet announced the winner’s reward, cleared his throat.

“We’ll now reveal the reward for today’s match.” The Director’s voice became lower.

There was a high probability that the reward would be another endorsement. The five families no longer had any expectations and let the Director deliberately create suspense..
