The Red team served first. Ming Zhi Tian watched anxiously. The Red team suddenly attacked with an aggressive insertion, and soon the Blue team fell into a disadvantage. Neither of the two forwards managed to stop anyone.
Then, a header! Ming Zhi Tian barely caught it with his left hand. Suddenly, a second player appeared and executed another header! Ming Zhi Tian was finally overwhelmed and a gap opened on his right. The wooden ball shot precisely into the basket, spun, and the Red team scored a point!
"Damn it!" Mo Bai gritted his teeth in frustration. He then high-fived his teammates and urged them to persevere.
Having learned from the previous lesson, Ming Zhi Tian dared not commit a foul, fearing that the penalty might be even more unfavorable to the Blue team next time.
Ming Zhi Tian was afraid of the wooden ball shattering again. However, the more he worried, the more constrained he became, as his teammates were too incompetent.
In less than two rounds, the Red team's two forwards had already passed the ball to Ming Zhi Tian's side!
Looking back, the Blue team's center-backs and defenders were all tightly blocked.
A fiery kick came flying!
Ming Zhi Tian dared not receive it head-on, fearing a trap. He tried to deflect the force, but it was still not enough. With a flick of his wrist, the ball in his hand uncontrollably flew into the basket.
Two to zero. Ming Zhi Tian's side lost another point!
"What are you doing?" Mo Bai snapped.
Qi Shu comforted him, "Mo Bai, he's doing his best. Don't blame him. We need to work harder too."
Ming Zhi Tian was also helpless. Goalkeeping was not his forte; charging forward was his specialty. Unfortunately, he had great skills but nowhere to use them.
The situation that followed was indeed not optimistic. The Red team continued to advance unstoppably, like a rainbow, with seamless passes, shots, catches, dribbles, headers, tackles, and coordinated plays!
In contrast, the Blue team was a scattered mess. Yan Tie Lu even dodged poorly, knocking over his own teammate and gifting the wooden ball at his feet!
Five to zero...!
...
.......
Nine to zero!
Mo Bai shook his head, "There's not much time left. We've lost."
Qi Shu berated him, "Mo Bai! What are you saying? We haven't lost until the very last moment! Pull yourself together!"
Mo Bai sneered, "The opponents are too strong. I didn't expect to meet the Devilish Divine Feet in the first match."
"What?" Yan Tie Lu was confused.
Mo Bai explained, "Haven't you noticed the ball games in the past few rounds? This must be an external reinforcement invited by Fairy Yun Jun, the Devilish Divine Feet. They've undergone professional training; they're pros. We can't possibly be their match."
"Sigh."
Just as everyone was at a loss, Ming Zhi Tian couldn't stand it any longer. "What are you standing around for? Pass the ball!"
A wooden ball flew to Mo Bai's feet. Ming Zhi Tian followed up by patting a teammate's arm, "Mai Luo Kai, you go to guard the goal. I'm going to be a forward!"
Mai Luo Kai was stunned for a moment. Ming Zhi Tian yelled at him, "If you don't go now, they'll raid our home!"
Mai Luo Kai had no choice. Since they were losing anyway, he ran to switch positions with him.
Mo Bai looked at Ming Zhi Tian, who had already moved to the best position. "Mo Bai! Pass me the ball!"
Mo Bai's expression was grave as the Red team's three forwards and center-back slid in to tackle him!
Mo Bai's eyes were firm. He dodged them and successfully passed the ball to Ming Zhi Tian.
Ming Zhi Tian stepped forward and kicked the wooden ball with immense force, carrying a sonic boom! It shot towards the Red team's basket!
The goalkeeper reached out to intercept horizontally, but missed. The Blue team scored a point!
Before the referee could award the point, the wooden ball bounced out like a rubber ball!
Ming Zhi Tian followed up with continuous moves, giving the goalkeeper no chance to react, and kicked the ball towards the opponent's goal ten times in a row!
"Stop him!" The Red team players swarmed forward, but were all evaded by Ming Zhi Tian's 360-degree somersault. He then utilized his full strengths!
Headers, volleys, aerial maneuvers, backflip kicks, and sweeping kicks.
