China vs. USA (9)

As the half-time started, people took the opportunity to digest everything that had happened in the first half. 

In the exclusive area reserved for coaches and special guests, whispers filled the air. 

Ethan Henderson, the American team's former coach and also a former L.A. Lions legend known as "Ender," leaned forward in his seat. His eyes never left Kai.

"Sixteen," he muttered under his breath. "He's just sixteen."

Around him, other coaches scribbled furiously in their notebooks, analyzing Kai's every move from the first half. A rising star was unfolding before their eyes.

The players who played with them before also couldn't believe it. 

"No wonder we were beaten," one said. 

"But, he didn't play like this before, no?" another chimed. 

"He's insane. If they win, he's going to get the MVP title, making him the youngest one to take it." 

Team China huddled together on their bench.
