As expected, Zeke passed the ball to Calvin—the player he admired the most.
"You guys get the first basket," Zeke said.
Calvin smiled, dribbling the ball to their side of the court.
"Thanks, sir," he said. Then, his expression quickly shifted to something serious—like he was a completely different person.
This did not get past Kai.
Even if the game had just started, he could already feel a different aura emanating from the Elite Five member. It was similar to Max Zhou's, which intensified Kai's longing to become a part of the group even more.
Then, Kai glanced at the Shenyang Sharks and their players.
It seemed like they were planning on going easy on them.
There was Zeke. However, aside from that, the other players seemed to be new ones—one that hadn't even played in the professional league.
Kai inferred that they might be fresh from the collegiate level.
