Unpredictable

Yoichi Isagi nodded and apologized, "I know breaking the tactics is wrong, but… that's also why I'm getting more information."
"Besides, Ye Liangqiu also said before that he has many weapons."
"That's why I… passed the ball to him."
Ye Liangqiu listened from the side and chuckled. It was exactly as he thought. Yoichi Isagi, ever since he learned the wonders of spatial perception, had intentionally started to treat himself as a puppet controlled on the field.
Any prediction has a trajectory.
Within these trajectories, only by cutting that one line can one jump out of the chessboard.
Treating me as a knife in your hand, Yoichi Isagi… aren't you afraid of a backlash?
"So your previous action was just an attempt?" Kunigami raised an eyebrow, looking at Yoichi Isagi, with a hint of anger in his tone.
After all, the core of that match was him… not Ye Liangqiu.
He didn't expect Yoichi Isagi to be so bold.
"Sorry…" Yoichi Isagi apologized again, but his eyes were filled with determination. Regarding the use of his own weapon, he did break the tactics, but he clearly received a perfect answer.
Because of his pass, the team scored a point.
And it made him completely understand a principle.
On this field, only those who break the rules can survive!
"Stop arguing. So, what do you think of Y Team?" Kuon Wataru asked.
Kunigami snorted and sat down in his seat.
Yoichi Isagi rubbed his chin, thinking for a few seconds, "The two most dangerous players on the other side should be the Bangs Boy and Okawa Hibiki. As long as we limit these two, the victory of this match will be ours."
"And I've already figured out their tactics."
"Defense turns into offense. Once they get possession… there's an eighty percent chance the Bangs Boy will pass the ball directly to Okawa Hibiki."
"So…"
Before he could continue, Bachira spoke first, "As long as we get the ball the moment it reaches Okawa Hibiki?"
Yoichi Isagi nodded, "Exactly. Since they like to defend, let them defend. Now they should be anxious, not us…"
"Just wait for the right moment, intercept the ball, and that's when we counterattack!"
"And… from the opponent's perspective, there's still an anomaly in our team."
Everyone's eyes turned to Ye Liangqiu. Yes, this anomaly was him. If the ball fell into his hands, their team would definitely have full confidence in scoring another goal!
"Of course, the tactics remain unchanged." Yoichi Isagi stood up, "But for victory, I believe everyone should have their own ideas!"
Ye Liangqiu's lips curved. As expected, the protagonist is meant to be changed.
If the original plot had unfolded, Z Team would have been at the bottom in both matches. Now, having forcefully awakened Yoichi Isagi, who had been sleepwalking through the early stages, this match is finally getting exciting!
The bullet comments also exploded.
[When Night God smiles, life and death are unpredictable.]
[Who would believe that Jie Bao was still a field baby a few days ago? Now, after being educated by Night God… this selfish mentality has completely blossomed.]
[Don't tell me, seeing Night God's smile, I'm afraid he's already thought about how to help the next person awaken.]
The bullet comments were all discussing Ye Liangqiu's smile, but only he knew that he was simply feeling a surge of pleasure because the match was starting to get exciting.
"Qiu, do you need my pass later?" Bachira suddenly walked over and asked.
Ye Liangqiu shook his head, "No need. Just take care of yourself. I should be a thorn in the opponent's side right now, so they probably won't let me touch the ball easily."
And it was exactly as he thought.
At this moment, in the other team's locker room, Niko, Okawa Hibiki, and others were also discussing tactics.
A 1:2 score difference is indeed small.
But for Y Team… how to defeat Z Team had become a major problem.
"Niko, I don't think we should keep defending that person."
"If we play like this… our midfield players will be very tired!"
"They might even fail to cover effectively…" Okawa Hibiki offered his opinion. Although he had been controlled by Niko to play, he could also see the gap between his team and the opponent's.
Niko lowered his head, looking at the water cup in his hand, and said nothing.
His mind kept replaying a sentence: "To evolve, one must abandon their original playstyle."
Has that guy seen through my weapon?
If I continue to use my weapon, it might become a loophole in this match… What should I do?
They were crushed in the previous match because of team disharmony, but Niko didn't think they were weak. However, facing this current group of people, his abilities couldn't be utilized at all.
The unreal feeling made Niko feel suffocated.
Are the enemies too strong, or am I too weak?
Just then, Okawa Hibiki's voice reached his ears. Niko slowly raised his head, and the confusion in his eyes suddenly dissipated a lot.
In front of him, all the players looked at him with determination.
One of them spoke, "Niko, I know your weapon can help us score… so just use us to your heart's content. Even if we become puppets on the field, we only need victory!"
Another person spoke, "That's right… Niko, if we lose this match, we'll probably have to leave."
"We can't lose!"
Okawa Hibiki also squatted down, "I know the opponent is strong, but we're not weak either. Who doesn't have some skill to get here? Besides, didn't that guy with glasses say that rankings are based on strength?"
"Our ranking is higher than theirs!"
"Naturally, we should be stronger!"
"Niko, don't be a coward, okay?"
Niko gritted his teeth, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the water cup. Then, as if releasing his emotions, his body relaxed, and he laughed, "You're right to scold me… I was indeed scared."
"The pressure from that field devil on the other side was too strong."
"But now, I might know how to defeat them!"
Hearing this, everyone walked up to him.
He began discussing with them again.
Until the whistle blew.
The second half was about to begin.
The confrontation between the two sides in the first half was finally coming to an end, allowing both teams to understand each other's weaknesses more clearly.
Niko's gaze under his bangs met Ye Liangqiu's.
Ye Liangqiu's lips curved into a smile, "Looks like the Slime has awakened?"
