Bookroo's summary

Ricky Lau and Anthony Duran have been inseparable on the basketball court. Now at different schools, they're rivals. Ricky faces a tough choice: support his new team or rekindle his friendship with Anthony. As tensions rise, Ricky must decide if loyalty to his friend is worth the cost of letting his team down. Will he find a way to balance friendship and competition, or will he have to sacrifice one for the other? The stakes are high, and Ricky's decision could change everything.

From the publisher

Anthony Duran has been Ricky Lau’s best friend and basketball buddy since they were little. But now that Ricky has moved schools, the boys find themselves on different middle school basketball teams. With few new friends, Ricky still wants to shoot hoops with his best bud. Anthony, on the other hand, doesn’t want to practice with an opponent. Ricky is willing to do whatever it takes to get his friend back. But what if that means letting his new team down?
