In the first half, Mist City Arts and Science University's Feiyue Team took a commanding 3-0 lead, sending their fans into ecstatic celebration.
The faces of every Lu City Team player reflected a stark change—from initial passion to utter disappointment.
Even after halftime, the Lu City players still seemed incapable of regaining their form. Despite the coach instructing them to adjust their mindset and fight to even the score in the second half—in addition to preventing Feiyue Team from scoring again—the players appeared unconvinced.
The goal seemed arduous, but no matter how difficult, it had to be pursued.
Unfortunately, the players didn't seem to have the confidence.
Because in the first half, Feiyue Team showcased a level of skill that had already instilled "fear" in them. This was a formidable opponent; losing to them would still be considered a worthy defeat.
The audience, however, didn't see it that way.
A worthy defeat? Is that how it works?
