Chapter 10: Who the Hell Doesn’t Want to Win!
After the timeout, the players from Barry University were filled with frustration.
Going from leading to trailing, while feeling powerless, was a bitter pill to swallow.
Theus held the tactics board in silence for a long time.
The overall strength gap between the two teams made him feel like a "skilled cook with no ingredients to work with"— all his strategies had proven futile.
Moreover, during Michigan State's comeback, he had hesitated to put in the starters, whose stamina was nearing its limit.
In a 40-minute game, they had been evenly matched for 35 minutes. From outsider's perspective, Barry University had done well enough tonight.
But with just 5 minutes left, could he really give up now? How could he possibly accept that!
He glanced at Han Sen.
Han saw the undying desire in Theus' eyes and nodded.
No words were exchanged, but they understood each other perfectly.
When the game resumed, Michigan State's defense remained intense. Half of the shot clock had passed, and Barry University still hadn't found a good offensive opportunity.
