The two teams returned to the court, and the crowd immediately lost it. The whole arena was vibrating from the frustration of waiting during the whole halftime break, and every single fan was leaning forward in their seat as the players took their spots.
The Blacklist lineup had changed, like Nash had announced. Jaz was back, now playing power forward again, while Nash stayed as the point guard, Miko shooting guard, Aiko small forward, and Hana had replaced Rei to play center for the first time tonight.
On the Colossus' side, Vex and Cross were back on the court. Before the ref could even blow the whistle, Cross walked right up to Nash with a nasty smirk on his face.
"Hope you enjoyed your little break, champ," he sneered. "Because the real nightmare starts now. We're gonna absolutely destroy you this quarter. You won't get a single second to breathe. I promise you that."
Nash just smiled.
"I was too busy fucking," he said calmly.
Cross blinked.
"Wait, what the fuck?"
