Grit Your Teeth and Persevere, or Collapse?

Teeth Gritted or Collapse? Su Yan?... He wasn't an idiot. In every offensive possession, he had something held back, deliberately guarding against Zaza.

Otherwise, everything would descend into chaos.

The game continued.

Once Su Yan realized that Zaza had stopped acting human and begun defending maliciously, he attacked even more fiercely.
