章 197: A Steal!

With the game hanging by a thread, every single player on the field could feel the tension. Shinryu High, usually so composed, looked shaken by Seiryuu's unrelenting offense and defense. And now, their backs were up against the wall. The underdogs had an eleven-point lead, and Shinryu knew that if they couldn't score on this possession, it was game over. The scoreboard showed no mercy, and the ticking seconds added weight to the stakes.

On the sideline, Seiryuu's supporters erupted in cheers and chants, their voices weaving into an encouraging roar that electrified the air. Meanwhile, on Shinryu's side, the atmosphere was a mixture of worry and fierce determination. They'd come too far to let a dark horse team take this win away from them. This wasn't just any game for them — this was about pride, legacy, and making a statement to every other team in the qualifiers.
