The game clock ticked on, but the score remained a tense 1-1. The battle on the court was far from over. Each player was feeling the weight of the game.
Vin Cruz, the captain of Venganza, stood tall and poised. His lean frame and slicked-back hair gave him the appearance of a player who had seen it all. His presence alone was enough to command attention.
He glanced around at his team, their eyes all focused on him.
Zeke Monroe (Small Forward / Lockdown Wing), tall and imposing, stood with a quiet intensity.
Dante Cruz (Power Forward / Vision Specialist), always calm, was ready to act when needed.
Silas Korrin (Center / Paint Protector), a mountain of muscle, wasn't one to be easily moved.
And then, Kaia Volt (Shooting Guard / Speed Threat), her eyes were electric with energy. A loose cannon, but undeniably dangerous.
Vin nodded.
With a sharp whistle from the referee, the game resumed.
Vin turned to his teammates and spoke, his voice cold yet commanding.
