Beat Me Once, But Never Twice

The court became silent as they watched the ball enter the hoop, just as the buzzer ended.

The players all turned to the referee, awaiting his verdict.

The referee pursed his lips and turned to the professional scorer's table.

At this point, it felt like everything was moving in slow motion.

Kai held his breath as the referee raised his arm and showed two points to the scorer's table.

Then, two points were added to their score, making him finally release his breath.

56-58.

Afterward, they heard a loud roar coming from their side of the bench.

Kai quickly turned to the bleachers and saw around 50 people cheering for them. Their number definitely couldn't compare to that of the Xing Stars, but they were cheering so loudly that it could be mistaken that there were more than 50 of them on the bleachers.

Meanwhile, the fans at Xing Academy's bleachers remained silent, looking at the devastated team on the court.
