A Hidden Hand in the Dark (1)

His gaze fell on Matsuoka Moxia, and he said sternly, "Matsuoka, your task from here on is to stick to Number Fourteen or cut off his passing lanes."

"Although we don't know why their captain isn't playing, that gives us an opportunity in a different sense."

"I've also noticed that aside from passing and steals, their Number Fourteen is weak in every other aspect. There isn't even a single record of him shooting in the game footage. His shooting percentage probably isn't very high."

This strategy was somewhat risky, but for Great Wall, it was the best choice they could make under the circumstances.

"Great Wall!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Ryonan's bench!

The relaxed, cheerful atmosphere stood in stark contrast to the solemn mood on Great Wall's side.

Shishang Liang'er patted Xiangtian Yanyi, who had just walked over, on the shoulder. His face was full of approval. "Well done, Yanyi. Those steals just now were crucial. You completely disrupted Great Wall's rhythm."

Uekusa also came over and chimed in with a smile.

"This performance was even better than in the last game against Daiei Academy."

Yueye Hongming wiped the light sweat from his forehead with a towel, his tone carrying a hint of ease.

"Honestly, Great Wall isn't as strong as we imagined. They feel about as strong as Daiei Academy, maybe even easier to deal with."

Shi Shangliang'er changed the subject and looked at Chi Tong, his eyes filled with admiration. "If the captain hadn't thoroughly analyzed Great Wall's weaknesses and tactics before the game, how could we have found a breakthrough so quickly?"

"Exactly!"

Yueye Hongming immediately nodded in agreement, his voice full of praise. "Thanks to Chi Tong, the captain's earlier analysis was incredible.
