The tension increased further as the second quarter pushed forward.
The Shizi Dogs, despite having the edge during the first half, were now struggling to keep the game under the control.
Coach Guanyu, observing from the sidelines, shook his head with a small smile.
"I knew it," he muttered under his breath, his eyes fixed on the court. "You may have good teammates now, Yuze, but they're not perfect."
Yuze felt his father's gaze, causing his jaw to tighten. Even though he couldn't read his mind, he already had a hunch what his dad was thinking about from the look of his face.
Despite the improvements they'd made over the season, the Shizi Dogs weren't without their flaws. It was clear now more than ever. Even though they had come so far, this wasn't going to be easy.
