As a Backup Goalkeeper, I Can See the Trajectory of Every Shot

In a do-or-die relegation battle in the second tier of the Long Kingdom league, twenty-two-year-old reserve goalkeeper Lin Yue is forced onto the pitch during stoppage time. His opponents have just won the penalty that will decide their fate, but he sees a golden trajectory appear in front of the ball, visible only to him. He can know where it will land 0.8 seconds in advance, but each use eats away at his vision and stamina. From the moment he saves his first penalty, the substitutes' bench, the league's top scorer, elite clubs' analytics teams, and the national team coach all set their sights on him. While everyone else studies footage of strikers, Lin Yue must turn every seemingly unstoppable shot into a step on his path to legend.
