608 Resurrection of the Yellow Mamba

TD Banknorth Garden.

The Celtics center, Fred, wiped the sweat from his head. He looked at Gray and there was a hint of fear and helplessness in his expression.

Fred couldn't help but think of a night from a few years ago. It was the NCAA final and the University of Florida team, led by Fred, played against the University of Kansas team, led by Gray. The University of Florida won that game, but Fred was defeated by Gray.

Fred still remembered how invincible Gray was on that day. Gray could handle two opponents single-handedly. He easily defeated Fred and another player inside the three-point line.

This had left a scar on Fred's memory.

Fred was currently an all-star center. His partner, who had also been beaten by Gray, had also become an all-star. Both of them had been named "Best Defensive Player" by the NBA. Meanwhile, the talented center who defeated them in the NCAA finals had fallen prey to injuries.
