Yin Yang Knights vs. Shizi Dogs (6)

The third quarter began, and the crowd chattered out of confusion and curiosity. 

"Why is Kai not playing?" 

"Kai's sitting this one out?" 

"Well, he does look pretty tired." 

Suzy looked at their bench with concern, wondering why Kai sat the crucial quarter out. To make matters worse, Max was still going to play! 

Nina gazed around the court as she heard a singular name being thrown around. 

"Kai?" Nina asked. "They're all talking about Kai. Seems like he's a popular player." 

Rolan nodded. "He is—very much. Actually, he wasn't popular because of his basketball skills, to begin with. However, he established his name as a good player in just a few months." 

"It's amazing," Rolan said out of admiration. Despite Kai being younger than him, he couldn't help but admire the player. "He changed the public's opinions about him so quickly that I barely felt it. Before I was aware of it, nearly everyone acknowledged him as a good player."
