The stakes on both sides were priceless and irreplaceable. The rivalry between the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard was a long-standing one, their friction accumulating since childhood. Now, it had reached a boiling point.
Both sides were convinced they would win. The North Courtyard thought the South Courtyard crew was pathetic; they always lost so badly in basketball it was a joke, so hiring one ringer wouldn't make much of a difference.
Meanwhile, the young men of the South Courtyard held an almost religious reverence for Huo Tianhao, believing him to be omnipotent and invincible. Thus, they were also certain of their victory.
And so, the two groups decided to settle their decade-long feud with a single basketball game. Afterward, they would go their separate ways, wave goodbye to their unrestrained youth, and shoulder the responsibilities of being sons, husbands, and even fathers.
That was why the stakes were exceptionally high this time!
