      abstract = {A teenage basketball player from Harlem is befriended by a  former professional player who, after being forced to quit  because of a point shaving scandal, hopes to prevent other  young athletes from repeating his mistake. Lonnie plays  basketball in spite of his coach, a has-been named Cal.  Followed by The Outside Shot (1987). All eyes are on  seventeen-year-old Lonnie Jackson while he practices with  his team for a city-wide basketball Tournament of  Champions. 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. As 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?},
