Meanwhile, in the crowd, there were three guys wearing gym clothes watching the game.

They were the team that Walker and his friend will probably be against in the finales of the tournament.

"Let's go guys there nothing else to watch here," said one of the three guys

"Why the game is still ongoing," the tallest of them said

"Jason's team already fall for the trap that those high school kids set," said the guy with the cornrow braids

"what kind of trap was that I didn't notice anything weird," said the guy with blond hair

"Okay answer me then who the guy that stands out the most," said the guy with the cornrow braids

"that guy who scored the most of the point and all of the highlight" the tallest of them answered.

"that was the trap, the kid that was on the spotlight force them to switch their lineup and that creates a mismatch on the court for them to exploit," said the cornrow braids guy.

"But I think that Kid (Z) is the best out of them, so it's logical that he took the spotlight in the game," said the guy with blond hair

"What you said make sense from watching only this match since all the teams have matches at the same time on the previous rounds, so we didn't have the chance to watch them play," the cornrow braids guy said

"Yeah and we only know that there is a guy who is athletic (Z), and the other one is a good shooter(Isiah), but the last one is a mystery, for now, but from what I watched he is an average passer (Walker)," the tallest of them said

"what bothers me the most is if this was a plan that they agreed upon before the game then we are going to have a difficult time defeating them, and if it's not then they wouldn't even be able to pass the semi finales against those blockheads," the cornrow braids guy said

"let's go our match is after this one let's go warm up first" the cornrow braids guy added then the three of them left.

In the meantime, the match reached the game point for the Mapel Bad Boys.

The Mapel Bad Boys 19-13 The Mad chillers.
