Max looked around just to make sure. However, Kai really wasn't in the lineup.
Yuze, Andy, Jet, and two unfamiliar people were the ones who were going to lead the third quarter, causing his frown to deepen.
Then, he turned his attention to the bench and found Kai sitting with his arms crossed in front of his chest and a small pout playing on his lips.
"Huh," he muttered. "Is he going to play at the very last quarter?"
Coach Guanyu was also confused. For him, the third quarter was usually the one that determined the fate of the game. So, he was expecting Yuze and Kai to both be dispatched for the particular quarter.
The referee blew the whistle, snapping him out of his thoughts.
Max glanced at his teammates—Ailun, Fabin, Shin, and Bai.
Four of them were their starting players, so he knew that they had a higher chance of overtaking the Shizi Dogs.
However, even then, Max couldn't shake his mind away from Kai.
