You'll Regret It If You Don't

Everyone was on their toes as the last few minutes of the warm-up ticked down on the timer. The Ying Eagles seemed especially tense. For years, they had come so close—always just short of that victory, always second place to the Juren Champions.

Kai leaned back in his seat, eyes fixed on the court. He knew this game was bound to be something special. The Eagles, with Zheng as their captain, had been on a mission. Kai was sure they were going to throw everything they had at Juren this time. Or at least, that's what Zheng had promised in his interviews leading up to the game. And Zheng wasn't the type to throw around empty words.

On the other hand, the Champions might also be pushed to the edge. That would work to the Shizi Dogs' advantage because they could see how the Juren Champions would play when they were at their limit.
