"Oh, this is devastating," Gina said, nearly covering her eyes. Their home team was getting murdered right in front of them! Not literally, though. "It's only halfway through the first quarter, and yet it feels like the game's already over."
David exhaled. "The US team is showing why they've been unstoppable in the Global Games until now. They aren't the reigning champions for no reason. I thought the Chinese team has improved a lot, but right now, they look completely out of sync."

Across the court, Romeo King casually adjusted his headband. He wasn't even breaking a sweat!
Kai felt like he was on the receiving end of how he was during the Interhigh Nationals. Was this how Jian felt when they had beaten their team?
Five minutes in, and it already felt like an eternity.
