Chapter 208: Adversity

The first half of the game ended with a score of 0-0. The players on the field returned to their respective rest areas and received towels and drinks to replenish their strength from their classmates.

Judging from the expressions of these players, it seems that this result has made them very satisfied.

"Come on, we did a good job in the first half!"

"That's right! The other party is so strong, and he didn't even get any advantage from us!"

The players on the court are still optimistic about this game, and even plan to work hard in the second half to see if they can complete a dark horse counterattack.

After all, the opponent is a top strong team that has washed another team that is not weak with a big score!

Su Wen looked at these players who didn't realize that something was wrong and sighed. None of them seemed to have noticed something was wrong with the game.

Except for the inner ghost who seems to have been bought, and Ellie, who is sitting on the bench.

Cave worms, as perfect hunters, have the ability to detect the energy activities of their prey's bodies, and Ellie naturally inherits this ability.

With her perception, it was evident that some of these players were playing with unnatural energy movements, as if they were intentionally controlled, making mistakes such as losing the ball, making mistakes or even misses.

Although the acting skills of those people are quite superb, the details of their disobedience cannot be hidden from Ellie's eyes.

Therefore, Ellie, who was a substitute, also walked up to Heidi, who played as one of the players on the field, and reminded: "You have to be careful in the second half, the opponent probably hasn't used his full strength yet." ”

But Heidi smiled lightly: "Got it, we'll cheer up in the second half." ”

Ellie's reminder didn't seem to help. Although Heidi verbally agreed, she only took Ellie's words as encouragement and did not pay attention to them.

In fact, the physical fitness and personal ability of the team members are there, and the reminder of grinding the gun in battle, even if it is adopted, can have little effect. A big act like changing the game strategy can't be done with a mere reminder from Ellie.

After fifteen minutes of recuperation, the players of both sides switched venues and played again.

At the beginning of the second half, the new team obviously strengthened the attack, and after the conversation just now, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus to strengthen the attack, and each player actively pressed forward, and the running position was obviously frequent.

They are planning to take advantage of the situation when they are at their best, and according to the opponent's performance in the first half, as long as they win the advantage and maintain it, it is actually a fairly simple matter.

At least that's what they thought.

But things turned out beyond their expectations.

At the start of the second half, the shouts from the crowd rang out again, and now that the game was halfway through, the shouts were even louder than at the beginning, because even those spectators knew that time was running out for both teams.

It doesn't matter if they've made a bet or simply cheered for the team they're supporting.

The opposing players also seemed to be motivated by these shouts, and their ball skills and positioning suddenly improved a lot compared to the first half.

After blocking the freshmen's two attacks, the ball fell to their side.

The players of the freshman team thought that this was just a temporary disadvantage, but after getting the ball, the opponent's actions obviously had a rule, and the control of the ball gradually stabilized.

If Heidi felt like they were wading through the sand, now they're walking through a swamp!

The confidence of the players began to waver.

This is also reflected in the shouts of the players on the bench and the audience.

"Come on, don't panic, hold steady!"

"yes, that's the real level, what the hell was that in the first half!?"

Ellie couldn't help but worry about the players on the field.

After all, after getting along for almost half a semester, Ellie also got along with these classmates day and night, and had a sense of belonging and collective honor.

After a pass, the opposing player suddenly began to press forward as if he had made an appointment, leaving Heidi's players stunned for a while.

Then, I saw the big tall center of the opponent dribbling the ball, shaking the two in a row, and at the moment when the two defenders came around, the ball was hoisted high and passed to a striker who secretly ran to the sideline.

The striker was in the air and fired a follow-up shot into the high right-hand hole.

The ball is in!

The cheers from the audience were enthusiastic, and the whistles were incessant, as if their gamble was finally secured.

The ball went in?

The members of the freshman team looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe the fact that this had happened. In the midst of this, you look at me, I look at you, a feeling of uneasiness quietly spreads. The morale of the whole team has also been greatly affected as a result.

Looking at the huge 1-0 in the score bar, Heidi suddenly remembered the reminder that Ellie had told her at halftime.

Don't...... Ellie already knew ......?

It can't go on like this...... It has to be steady!

The captain of the freshman team has the same idea as Heidi.

This goal can be said to have hit the morale of the new team hard, and the low morale will naturally affect the player's ability.

You must find an opportunity to counterattack back!

At the referee's whistle, the game began again.

The ball is on the side of the freshman team, and the captain of the freshman team, a well-proportioned teenager, immediately commands the players to press forward after getting the ball, and they must counterattack with a strong offensive to regain morale!

If you can score......

The boy had already thought of something far away.

But it backfired.

The teenager confidently broke through with the ball, and was stopped by a center forward of the opponent, who grabbed the ball at the boy's feet with super speed and magical footwork, and then made a back pass. The ball returned to the feet of their defenders, and the initiative of the attack also fell into the hands of the opponent.

And this young man was stunned, and one accidentally fell to the ground, his expression was quite painful. Although the ball was still on the opposing team's side, the referee blew the whistle for the timeout.

The referee and teammates all surrounded him, and after checking, they found that the teenager's calf was swollen and could not continue the game at all.

This teenager, as the captain, can be said to be the backbone of this team, and the fall of the backbone has greatly affected the morale of this team.

The teenager was carried away on a stretcher, and a substitute quickly took off his substitute vest and ran onto the court.

The race started again with morale almost hitting rock bottom here!
