Now, only four teams remained, their eyes fixed on the semi-finals. It was the pinnacle of high school basketball in China, and it seemed like the entire country was watching.

Everyone was eager to get the latest scoop on the semi-final matchups.

The screen flickered to life, revealing the bright studio where Hailey and Kevin sat at their desks. Hailey's brunette ponytail swayed as she leaned toward the camera with a grin.

"Good evening, basketball fans!" she began, her voice full of energy. "Welcome back to the Interhigh Nationals Livestream, where we've got plenty to talk about tonight. I'm Hailey, and with me is the man who needs no introduction—Kevin!"
