Saturday morning. Less than twelve hours after the Roarers' gritty win over the Yurev Crows, the team filed into their practice facility. Tomorrow night wasn't just another game—it was the game. A clash with the Millvoque Bullets: reigning champions, Eastern Conference leaders, the measuring stick of the entire league.
The media had already begun their drumbeat. Headlines splashed across every outlet: "West Player of the Week Ryan Carter vs. East Player of the Week John Adebayo-Kambon: Collision Course."
After finishing practice in the morning, the team had their film session at noon.
Inside the screening room, Crawford barked, "Roll it."
The screen lit up with clips from the Bullets' last three games. First up was Keith Milton—curling into mid-range jumpers, one after another.
