The Veterans Show Off

[Gamble the game?] 

Kai looked at the message and immediately nodded. The entire game was already a gamble. Might as well add more to it! 

The whistle echoed across the court, and the game began. 

The thud of the ball hitting the floor echoed through the silent crowd. Japan's point guard, Saito Ren, immediately snatched the ball. 

He was known for his agility and court vision—The Precision Point, as people called him.

"Here comes Saito Ren," Gina announced, her voice brightening up as she leaned forward in her seat. "He's their key playmaker. Watch how quickly he pivots."

Ren darted past Dong. He pushed into the paint before dishing a perfect no-look pass to his teammate, Hideo Kenji, who was waiting just beyond the arc. Kenji shot it with flawless form. 

"Kenji for three!" David called out.

The ball swished through the net. The crowd gave a small but audible cheer, and just like that, Japan took the first points of the game.
