'Wait, the ball is straight in my direction?!' Yuki widened his eyes in shock as he saw the ball zoomed into his face with an incredible speed. 'All the Phoenix players should've known by now that I am the defensive specialist of the team. If they still want to target me, that means they want to attack our psychology by targeting the best defender. Returning a favor, huh?'
Yuki couldn't blame Mirai for doing that, since what he did before to Nakamura was exactly the same. However, right now, he didn't have too much time to think about it. The first thing he realized when he saw the ball coming at him was how high it was.
'Should I avoid it?' Yuki thought. It was a valid concern, considering there was a huge chance the ball would go out. However, if he miscalculated and the ball went in, the momentum would shift immediately to the Phoenix, and them feeling motivated with their crazy supporters behind would be hard to deal with in the future. 'No, I cannot take a chance here.'
