Kai's Got Guts

Now, some people might say that gambling the game was the stupidest decision ever. 

To some extent, Kai agreed. 

There was a very slim chance for them to win this game. Although they were great players, they were still going against the best players in their country. They had been playing together for at least a fourth of their lives, while their team had been rivals for the past year or two. 

It was truly incomparable. 

However, Kai still looked relaxed. 

This was actually better. He had taken the risk. 

Through that risk, he had something to lose—and that meant he had something to fight for. 

He didn't doubt himself or his teammates, but he understood what losing would mean not just to him but to all of them. 

The air in the gym was suffocating. The two teams sat on opposite benches; each player lost in their own thoughts.
