Somehow, the second set turned out to be far better than anyone on the Thunder's side had expected. For one, the Giant Bear players could not recover from their defeat in the first set, while the Thunder players managed to execute the coach's plan well enough that it became impossible for their opponents to snatch away the momentum.
This was definitely a new experience for both Yuki and Riku. Coming from a relatively weak team, they had never experienced how fun it was to completely dominate a game like this. In Tsunemori, they were always forced to defend as if their lives were on the line. While they might not have hated it, that playing style definitely took a toll on them. Moreover, having strong teammates helped a lot, as everyone could hold their own and never let a small setback bother them.
