The Giant's Answer

The Beichen Falcons' stadium felt like a machine without feelings. Clearstar ads rolled across the dome while thirty thousand fans waved identical silver sticks. Despite two wins, the Tides were given a nine-percent chance. A new headset waited at Cheng's desk. The number 7 was engraved inside. He used his own wired splitter instead. Lin set an offline recorder beside him. This time, they meant to capture the impossible voice. For three innings, the Falcons suffocated them. Ace Gu Qiao overpowered their lineup, and the Tides fell behind 3–0. Worse, Cheng's future began lying. Chinese called a foul that became a hit. English announced a strikeout before Gu walked the batter.
