บท 121: Shizi Dogs vs. Xing Stars (8)

Before they knew it, the shot clock ended, and that was the only time that Zedong snapped out of his thought, everything suddenly becoming clear.

'Did I just...miss the shot clock?' he thought.

Coach Yixing frowned deeply before calling for a time-out, knowing that his players needed it more than anything else.

"Time-out!" the referee exclaimed, causing the game to halt.

The Shizi Dogs went back to their bench with pleasant smiles.

"Good job, team!" Aang exclaimed.

Shang smiled and gave them a thumbs-up.

Lina, too, smiled in satisfaction, feeling particularly thankful to Kai for suggesting their current gameplay.

The others also started discussing how awesome the team was for being able to catch up to the gap that the XIng Stars had created.

"Doesn't the Shizi Dogs seem a bit..different this year?"

"Have they always been like this?"

"I watched a game of theirs last year. It wasn't like this."
