His coach, Cal, knows Lonnie has what it takes to be a pro basketball player, but warns him about giving in to the pressure. Cal knows because he, too, once had the chance—but sold out.\n\nAs the tournament nears, Lonnie learns that some heavy bettors want Cal to keep him on the bench so that the team will lose the championship. As the last seconds of the game tick away, Lonnie and Cal must make a decision. Are they willing to blow the chance of a lifetime?\n\nAn ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults\n\nAWARDS FOR WALTER DEAN MYERS:\nNew York Times Bestselling Author\n3-Time National Book Award Finalist\nMichael L.
