The veterans heard what Kai had said. However, their mood was far from celebratory.
Jimmy clicked his tongue and sat on the bench, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Whatever," he muttered. "We still won the game anyway."
A small smile made its way to Jimmy's lips. He couldn't hide his happiness. For a long time, he hadn't felt this satisfied with his performance! He glanced around, knowing his dad watched every game with their team.
However, he wasn't in his usual seat, making him purse his lips.
Meanwhile, Marcus leaned against the wall near the bench, his arms crossed tightly and a scowl on his face. The score might have declared them winners, but every veteran on the team knew the truth.
It didn't feel like a win.
Well, of course, how could they dare celebrate when they ended the first half with a four point gap and the younger kids ended with a lead?
