Rex is really putting Kai in his place, but Kai is not giving up just yet.

Of course there is going to be a turning point at matchpoint. ^^
I’m looking forward to it! The current page is pretty much what I expected how a game like this should realistically go.
We couldn’t have Kai, with no more than a week’s experience, wipe the floor with Rex now, could we xD
On second reading, I noticed that Rex isn’t letting Kai get the ball any more. Not giving him any more chances to pull any more suprizes out.
Do NOT flame that butt, young friend,
accept this is how the plan will end.
You were spooked by the evil smile,
it put you behind the ball by a mile.
Stretching sinews and lagging legs
the stresses against which sanity begs.
Playing free now with no chance,
one score left? C’mon, boy, let’s dance.
It’s not over, even if he thinks it is;
this demon of the court. The wiz of the biz.
He thinks he’s led you to the slaughter;
he thinks he’ll next see you carrying water.
Welp… looks like Kai’ll be having a bad time with whatever potion gets brewed for him. That distance shot though… Anyway, good work Robin. Good work. Let’s see if Kai can’t score one more point before the match is done.
Yeah, don’t make it too hard on him, okay xD
If he scores at least one more point I’ll be much more lenient. But don’t worry, I’m no monster. It’s more fun to piss people off than to do anything to hurt them. I don’t want to hurt anyone. (Unless I get the chance to slip them a pepper. Then maybe. xP)
He can’t use the tail or the vertical leap anymore? Does he need to go to his other comic and get a power-up?
I don’t think that’s how things work xD
I can see him not being able to use his tail as well simply because Rex is onto him and playing more aggressively. As for the high jump, it all depends on how much warning he’s given and his reaction time.
On top of all that, I’m sure he’s tiring faster than a well-matched opponent should be; easiest way to sap away any edge Kai still has.
It’s over , Kai ; you can’t beat Rex now he’s using his skills and stamina against your poor tricks : keeping full control of the ball to stop you to steal it and shooting in high circle to overcome your jumping ability
I don’t think they’re POOR tricks, but yeah, a trick or two isn’t going to win a game :p
I mean it’s poor tricks , opposite to all the ones Rex is surely knowing
Looks like Kia needs ‘Michael’s Secret Stuff.’

Pssht, it’s just water…
Maybe add that chilli pepper xD
Or use wasabi :

Rex is the one who needs that for Kai to win. It doesn’t have much effect on Kai.
You can do it kai! It may seem impossible, but dragons excel at the impossible!
Not when they have no skill for it ………..
It’s a high level impossible though xD
Might he benefit from the million to one odds ? To alter the odds might a blindfold and putting his shoes on the wrong feet help?
(Waiting to see who gets the reference)
Is it OOTS?
Get me that chilly pepper. Or leave it, i’ll get it myself.
Getting yourself fired up :p
*cues the Harlem Globetrotter music*
perfect :p
hope kia dosent become water boy forever o-o
Just for one year ^_^”
Not forever, the deal was one year :p
At least he’ll have a foot in the door!
And now the scoreboard is starting to resemble the one from Space Jam
Maaaybe just a little :p
Nice blur on the ball in the third panel. It’s on fire! Fourth panel? “No, I can’t spell ‘stamina’, why do you ask?” 🙂
Thanks ^^ Yeah, Kai still needs to up his stamina :p
The funny thing would be Rex and Kai becoming good friends later , and Rex offering to give some trainings to Kai X3
Actually that would pretty much be the expected thing at this point.
Kai has proven that he doesn’t give up easily and he’s also proven that he can go places with the right training.
Two very valuable traits when it comes to befriending someone like Rex.
But then again, ‘stubborn’ runs in the family.
The big question is, whether he manages to score one last basket before the game ends, even if only to prove to Rex that he actually can.
Shrimp and wolfy buds :3
Not “Shrimp and Wolfy” , Robin ; but “Shrimp and Doggy” ^_^
Two last panels : https://www.twindragonscomic.com/comic/challenge-accepted/
This makes me happy, Not because I wanted Kai to lose, but its nice to avoid cliches.
I would love to see Kai lose, Rex lording it over him, followed by the coach coming out, telling Rex to shush and welcoming Kai to the team.
Kai winning with a week of training would be pretty unrealistic, even for a comic xD
It’s not like Kai is some basketball prodigy destined to save the world with mad basketball skills or something. He has some things going for him, with his jumping ability and his bursts of speed, but Rex DID get his team to third place in the national competitions :p
If such thing was possible , i train myself to box then i challenge mike Tyson ^_^”
Good to have space to improve. IT was enough to make Rex switch to professional mode. I bet its good enough for the team already.
Not completely professional mode yet, but better than what he thought he needed.
Now he’s overdoing it a little though xD
Onslauth….. in progress!
Things ain’t looking to good for our dragon.
