Hever collapsed to a knee near the corner of the court. To everyone but Rui, Hever's defeat was certain.
"It's over."
"Well, he put a good fight."
"Nel's gonna knock him out."
Nel didn't even hesitate, he blasted forward faster than he ever had. But Rui didn't pay attention to him. He was staring at Hever intensely, wondering if he was right.

He intercepted Nel's attack, and fell back as he got up to his feet, using that momentum to throw Nel flying behind him. This was a launching maneuver that could only be performed starting from one knee.
