The Elite Four's Preparations

In the city of Beijing...

"We do not have time to waste," Fang said, stretching as he lined the first-year players in the court. 

"I have stayed quiet during the past league because I wanted to see you all improve at your own pace," he continued. 

"However, this won't do. You guys are all useless. The team will crumble because of you." 

The first-year players of the Huolan Guardians looked down at the ground like they were being scolded by the mothers who birthed him. 

Jackson, the current team captain, walked next to Fang and placed his hand over his shoulder. 

"Let me handle this," he said. 

Fang clicked his tongue and glared at the other players. 

"I have no intentions of playing with worthless, useless, and untalented players. You have been enjoined in this team since the recruiters believed you had some potential. However, I think they made a mistake."
