บท 94: End of the First Half

Shinkai High wasted no time reasserting their dominance as the first half raced toward its conclusion. The moment the whistle blew, signaling the restart, their players exploded off the line, executing their plays with precision. Every move seemed choreographed, every step calculated as if they had anticipated Seiryuu High's every thought.

Sota's eyes scanned the field, heart pounding as he tried to read Shinkai's formation. It was clear that Shinkai High had adjusted their strategy, but figuring out their new plan before they struck was proving to be a challenge. They spread out wide, a strategy designed to stretch Seiryuu's defense to its limit.

"Stay tight! Watch for the short passes!" Sota shouted to his teammates, hoping to preempt Shinkai's next move. But before his words fully registered, the ball was snapped.
