Shouldn't, Couldn't, Wouldn't

The fourth quarter was in full swing, with fans from both sides hyping up their teams to the fullest. 

The Ying Eagles was now down by fourteen points, and the crowd could see how Zheng was trying his best to lead his teammates to surpass that gap—as wide as it was. 

In the VIP area, everyone seemed to hold their breath, each play edging closer to the inevitable conclusion. 

Kai sat with his arms folded, lips pressed together as he watched Zheng push himself against an impossible opponent.

Gina broke the silence. "It's clear that Zheng's giving everything he has. He's made it to the Elite Five through sheer willpower and determination alone. But will that be enough to close the gap against someone like Jian Niu?"

David sighed. "Jian was born with a gift that can't be taught or trained. You have to respect Zheng's work ethic, but hard work can only go so far."
