Based on the previous rounds, I notice the opponent started with rock, then switched to scissors after losing. There's a possibility they might expect me to continue cycling through moves (I went from paper to scissors), so they might anticipate me playing rock next and choose paper to counter. However, they might also stick with scissors again to try breaking a pattern. Since I'm currently leading, playing rock gives me a strategic advantage - if they play scissors again, I win; if they play rock, we tie. While I risk losing to paper, this seems like a calculated risk worth taking at this stage of the game.
