Yin Yang Knights vs. Shizi Dogs (7)

Kun stood at the edge of the court, feeling like he was in line for a guillotine punishment.

Renren jogged back to the bench, giving Kun a nod of thanks as he rubbed his sore wrist. 

"Thanks, bro," he said, patting his back. "Really need to rest my wrist." 

Now, he couldn't really back out! 

He turned around for a moment and saw Lina and Kai giving him encouraging nods. 

Kun had been in a slump since last week, ever since the game against the Feng Foxes. He knew he wasn't the best player, but that game had been a harsh reminder of his limits. He'd made mistake after mistake, and the self-doubt had been gnawing at him ever since. Now, with his teammates looking at him with hope and expectation, the pressure felt immense.

Yuze, his best friend, stood beside him as Jinping prepared for the inbound pass.
