The game continued once again with Shimoyawata having a slight edge over Tsunemori. The appearance of Ezaki changed the game completely, and when all of his teammates supported him, their offense became way more dangerous.
It wasn't perfect, per se, since they needed to adapt to each other in the middle of the game considering Ezaki had been training alone almost all the time this year. Their movements were chaotic with no coordination, no game-calling strategy, and not even a single sign of what they should do or where they should run. However, they were able to make everything work by bombarding Tsunemori with one powerful spike after another.
However, that didn't mean Tsunemori couldn't do anything. In fact, while they kept getting pressured by Shimoyawata's new wave of offense, there were two players who shone the most to keep them alive. Those were Hirano and Yuki.
