Franklin's dunk energized the Shui Zhong Team, while the Tiger Team fell into confusion.
Obviously, they had not accurately assessed the strength of the Shui Zhong Team before the game—there was no way to do so, as Shui Zhong had only played a few games, and there were no videos available for study.
With the help of Cap Raven, the Shui Zhong Team managed to find a lot of information about the Tiger Team, including the height, playing style, and characteristics of the starting five, as well as the team's past performance and tactical features, all of which Beelman had carefully studied.
He had two weeks to carefully prepare, designing and practicing tactics, setting strategies, coordinating the lineup, and getting the team in optimal condition.
Judging by their performance at the start of the game, Shui Zhong was up to standard—not just up to standard but even a bit beyond what Beelman had anticipated.
