52-48.
With a four-point gap, the third quarter finally ended. Kai sighed in relief since they were able to maintain a gap. It wasn't the eight-point gap that Yuze initially created, but he believed they still managed to do well despite Yuze not playing in the game.
The players wordlessly walked over to their bench, panting as they drank from their sports drinks and water. It seemed like they had exerted more effort when Yuze wasn't around, which Lina noticed and was proud of.
Maybe Yuze's absence was the push that they needed in order for them to work to their fullest potential.
Meanwhile, Yuze stretched and stood from the bench, squatting up and down to warm up his body.
Lina noticed this, causing her eyebrows to furrow.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Warming up," Yuze answered.
