Chapter 26 Football 26 Jie Shiyi, I will kill you.
With the referee's whistle, the game resumed intensely.
This time, Team Y's mental state was completely different from the first half; they showed an unprecedented drive and determination.
As if driven by an invisible force, the entire team charged forward with one heart and one mind, determined to turn the tide in the second half of the competition.
Like a commander on the battlefield, Suoh Hyo-ki used his keen insight to accurately capture the mistake of Team Y's number 10 amidst the chaos.
In a flash, he sped off, sweeping across the field like lightning, and deftly snatched the ball from number 10's feet.
Then, he bypassed the striker Jie Shiyi who was running in front of him and passed the ball to Feng Lehui on the far right.
Feng Le dribbled the ball forward, easily breaking through the defense with his excellent ball control skills, and went straight to the vicinity of the penalty area.
When Y team's defenders returned to defense, and Beelo made a long pass back to Kunishin Rensuke, Hyori controlled the ball with her chest, successfully intercepting Z team's attack.
Immediately afterwards, Team Y launched a counterattack, using quick passing to bring the ball to Team Z's goal.
Naruho Asahi reacted quickly, stepped forward to intercept the ball, and kicked it out of play.
Team Y's number 3 stands outside the boundary, with both arms raised above their head, and throws the ball towards Team Y's number 10.
Senki Hyoma reacted quickly, sticking close to Y-team's Ice Oriole, accurately judging the ball's landing point, and stepping forward first to kick the ball to Imamura Yuudai.
Seeing this, Y team's number 10 decisively chose to slide tackle and intercept the ball.
"You can't even defend this?"
Raishi Jingo grabbed Imamura Yudai by the collar and yelled at him.
"I'm sorry."
Imamura Yudai scratched his head awkwardly.
"Let go, let go. The game is still going on," Hisako reassured him.
As time went on, the two sides went back and forth, each having their own offensive and defensive maneuvers.
The score remained unchanged at 1-0 between Team Z and Team Y.
Something's not right.
Jie Shiyi, who hadn't received a pass, realized there was a problem.
It is precisely because it has been forgotten that the course of the game can be observed.
Team Y's players have been guiding their offense.
Jie Shiyi came to this conclusion.
Team Y's players seemed to be executing some kind of tactic, constantly guiding Team Z's attacks, but whenever a Team Z player approached the penalty area, they would quickly adjust their defensive formation. They were constantly exhausting Team Z's stamina.
Moreover, apart from that one ball stop, Team Y's Ice Weaving Sheep didn't make any big moves and kept surrounding Suoh Hyo-hee.
Seemingly having exhausted all their strength, the Y team players wanted to leave their last mark on the Blue Prison, so they chose the most risky strategy of attrition warfare.
This targeted defense slowed down Suoh Hyoki's offense and allowed Team Y to see Suoh Hyoki's movements more clearly and take corresponding countermeasures.
After a long period of retreating to defend, Team Z's stamina rapidly declined. The players' steps began to become heavy.
Although Team Y also faced the challenge of declining stamina, they successfully limited Team Z's offensive core by closely marking Suoh Hyoki.
What a strange feeling!
Jie Shiyi felt another chill run down his spine, and he turned his head to check.
King Sumeru? Or...?
No...none of those are correct.
Suoh Hyoki, who was still surrounded, also realized that something was wrong.
On the surface, Team Z seemed to have the advantage in this match, but in reality, Team Y was the one who truly controlled the initiative.
"They actually chose to use such a highly targeted tactic." Suoh Hyo-ki's lips curled slightly, his eyebrows raised, and his expression revealed a hint of disdain. "Using weaker players to wear down the opponent's stamina, while preserving stronger teammates, to achieve a multi-on-one effect in the later stages of the game."
"But it doesn't seem to be of any use, does it? No matter what you do, you can't advance, right?"
"We've already lost so many games, one more won't make a difference, right, Bingzhi?"
Suoh Hyo-hee glanced at the Ice-Woven Sheep blocking his way, "I'll take you home."
After he finished speaking, Suga Hyo-hee noticed that the Y team members were pushing him harder.
“Amanori Yu said something similar to me.” Bingzhi Yang’s blue eyes trembled slightly as she retorted mercilessly, “But it seems your words are even less plausible. He is stronger than you.”
Suoh Hyo-ki's face instantly darkened, like the sky before a storm, so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
Clenching his fists, veins bulging, he smashed through the three members of Team Y and broke free of the encirclement.
"That's all there is to it."
He raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of disdain and mockery in his eyes. His voice was cold and impatient, as if he were mocking Team Y's foolish tactics, or perhaps ridiculing the meager skill of Team Y's top players.
Facing Y Team's number 3 with the ball, Suoh Hyo-hee employed a pressing steal tactic. His tall frame created a tremendous sense of pressure. He stayed close to number 3, constantly applying pressure and preventing number 3 from easily controlling the ball.
Sure enough, under this constant pressure, Team Y's number 3 made a mistake.
Wang Xiaoxi quickly stepped forward to intercept the ball and immediately launched a counterattack. He glanced at Jie Shiyi, who was waiting in the corner for an opportunity, and delivered a precise long pass.
"Bee Joy!"
Feng Le received the ball and glanced at Jie Shiyi, who was positioned not far away and was clearly closer to the goalpost than him. However, he still did not choose to pass the ball but instead dribbled forward alone.
Team Y's number 10 attempted a tackle, but failed. Bee easily jumped over him and continued forward.
We are surrounded.
Beehive wiped the sweat from his brow and keenly realized his predicament—like a bee entangled in a spider web, unable to move, struggling in vain, only able to wait in the web for a predator to end his life.
If the ball is taken away, the previous situation will repeat itself, and besides, Team Z no longer has the strength to continue this defensive backline game.
Suga was too far away, and he was surrounded. As for a shot, 28 meters... was still too far.
As Feng Le analyzed the pros and cons, a glint flashed in his eye.
Who moved it?
He dared not make any big movements, and could only lower his eyes to carefully discern the person's appearance.
Thousand Cuts? God of the Nation? Or King Sumeru?
No, none of that is right.
Is it... Jie?!
His eyes! I can't wait to see them!
Beehive's heart rate instantly spiked, his dark gold eyes were replaced by black coils, and a monstrous black mist seemed to appear behind him.
The monster said, "Don't give the ball to Suzaku, give it to Jessie!"
In that case, don't disappoint me!
Thinking this, Feng Lehui cleverly passed the ball to Jie Shiyi behind him with his heel.
Jie Shiyi received the pass and made a direct shot, catching the Y team players off guard.
This is not what they expected.
Their idea was that Kiyoshi would not shoot, and all possession of the ball would be in the hands of "King" Suoh Hyoki.
Furthermore, the fact that Jie Shiyi stayed in the corner and never touched the ball further confirmed their suspicions.
Despite being a forward, he unexpectedly lacked presence, causing them to forget that Team Z even had a forward and place all their bets on Suoh Hyoki.
Team Y was thrown into disarray.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time." Ice-Weaving Sheep appeared in front of Jie Shiyi. "Your inability to shoot is Z Team's weakness."
Jie Shiyi made several swaying movements in succession, making it difficult for him to judge his true intentions.
Is he really going to shoot?
Bingzhi Yang thought this, but the moment Jie Shiyi raised her foot, she changed direction and blocked the trajectory of Jie Shiyi's shot.
Jie Shiyi forcefully passed the ball with the outside of his foot, and the black and white ball, carrying a gentle breeze, arrived at Suoh Hyoki's feet.
"really."
Bingzhi Yang sighed inwardly and immediately turned to charge towards Suoh Hyoki.
Feng Le lowered her eyes, and the bright gold suddenly dimmed.
Xu Wangxiao looked towards the corner of the court, his gaze drawn to Jie Shiyi's focused and piercing eyes.
What kind of look is that?
Jie Shi's eyes burned with flames, as if he wanted to devour the entire world in his gaze.
'I want the ball!'
Jie Shiyi was roaring this sentence from head to toe, as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them and the rolling football.
He was clearly planning to shoot directly, but why... did his foot move involuntarily?
Wang Xiaoxi instinctively passed the ball to Jie Shiyi.
The Ice-Weaving Sheep, which was sprinting, was shocked and turned around, but due to inertia, it could not stop and could only slow down forcibly, finally falling heavily to the ground.
At this moment, no one on the field could stop Jie Shiyi from shooting.
"Go, the world's number one egoist, Jie Shiyi!" said Feng Lehui upon seeing this scene.
Sweat trickled down Jie Shiyi's forehead. He revealed eyes that could devour everything, calculating every angle before decisively unleashing a shot. The football drew a perfect arc in the air, flying precisely towards the goal.
2:0
"Good!"
As the first half ended and the announcement signaling a goal was made, the "I for everyone, everyone for me" mentality was shattered, replaced by the Blue Prison's philosophy.
The world's number one egoist, Jie Shiyi, has emerged out of nowhere.
Jie Shiyi stared at the football that had crossed the goalposts, then looked incredulously at Team Y, who lay on the ground in regret.
So that's how it is? Suoh first stripped me of my ball possession, made Team Y forget I existed, and then pulled off a surprise attack?
He truly deserves the title of "King" on the football field; he managed to find a way to counter Team Y's tactics in such a short time.
Suoh Hyo-hee stared blankly at Kiek Se-il's clean shooting motion, the look in Kiek Se-il's eyes flashing through his mind as he shot.
Kira Ryosuke jokingly calls him the "Frontline Alarm," his siren constantly blaring. His tightly furrowed brows seem to etch his inner tension and unease.
Suoh's gaze was fixed on Kiyoshi, like a hawk eyeing its prey. He heard Ten no Michi's words praising Kiyoshi.
So that's what you were thinking? Amano Minaka.
You want Jie Shiyi to replace me?
Didn't you say I was your most special [spur gear]?
Since you chose to "bring" me into this world, you must be prepared for everything that will enable my "birth".
Please don't abandon me.
I will haunt you like a vengeful spirit until death.
"King Su."
Jie Shiyi excitedly raised her hand to give Suoh Hyo-hee a high five, but it was slapped away.
Jie Shiyi was stunned, completely unaware of what had happened, and Suoh Hyoki's face turned extremely ugly.
“I will kill you, Jie Shiyi.” Suwang Xiaoxi gripped his head tightly with his left hand, his face dark and his breathing rapid. The indifferent green in his eyes was replaced by hatred, which sent chills down Jie Shiyi’s spine.
I swear!
