Chapter 12: Famous or Infamous?
Han Sen jumped off the scorer's table, feeling completely satisfied. Just in that moment, the system's [Hater Points] skyrocketed.
Since he hadn't had a chance to attract negative attention before the game, he decided to create a big opportunity during the match!
After jumping off the table, Han Sen celebrated wildly with his teammates. Theus squeezed in front of him, still visibly excited but trying to keep his emotions in check. He signaled Han to look behind him.
He turned his head, following Theus' gaze, and noticed several half-empty water bottles thrown on the floor behind him.
Being cocky doesn't necessarily bring divine punishment, but it definitely invites a beating.
...
Back in the locker room, Han Sen endured a "shower" from his teammates with those very water bottles.
He had scored 28 points that night, including 9 points in the final moments, single-handedly sealing the victory. He was the team's MVP.
When the celebration ended, Theus appeared in the locker room with someone beside him.
"Han, this is Jamal Khalil, a reporter from ESPN," Theus said as he approached Han.
The other players instinctively made room, their expressions filled with envy and excitement. If Han Sen made it to the NBA, they might benefit from his success in some way.
