128 performances begin
Yang Guang's brief opening speech was followed by a warm-up match, rather an exhibition match, as the next team to appear had clearly played each other before, and the results were well known.
One side is the border army Longteng from Dali City, and the other is Lianshan from the Zheng clan in Xingyang, the two teams had a conflict for the name of "Longteng" as early as a month ago, and the result is already known to everyone. As for the process, as long as you know a little bit about King Qi's personality, as long as you know that this is the exhibition match selected by King Qi, it may not be difficult to guess the original battle situation......
The border army has nothing to say, and the army of Dali City basically belongs to the old department of Yujuluo, or the old department of Yang Su; But by now, the fish club Luo Yangsu or something has long become a floating cloud.
As for the Xingyang Zheng family, if you have to trace back to the roots, the most prosperous period should be the Later Han Dynasty, the most famous of which are Zheng Xuan, the master of scripture, and Zheng Ji, the Marquis of Anyuan, who served as the protector of the Western Regions. After experiencing the catastrophe of the Wuhu Rebellion, the Zheng clan was divided into two sects, the north and the south, of which the county of the northern sect was set up in Xingyang.
After entering the dynasty, Zheng Yi was most famous for helping Yang Jian usurp Zhou,—— Zheng Yi and Yang Jian were originally old classmates, and this is also the proper meaning of the title; It's a pity that Zheng Yi died young. His son Zheng Yuanshou likes music, but he has not achieved much in the officialdom, but he still has connections, at least Qizhang Niuhong and others have close contacts with him, and Zheng Shanguo and Zheng Shanyuan brothers are left and right, so the Zheng family has gradually improved.
When Yang Guang and Yang Yong competed for the crown prince, Zheng Shanguo was attached to Yang Yong because his mother was the Qinghe Cui family, and Zheng Shanyuan was directly attached to Yang Su, and Yang Su supported Yang Guang wholeheartedly; Until Yang Zhao and Yang Ying competed for the crown prince, the Zheng family put all their eggs in one basket, and both brothers were attached to Yang Zhao, Zheng Shanguo even married his daughter to Li Jiancheng, and Yang Ying also fell in love with his daughter at that time, which is probably the most fundamental reason why Yang Ying and the Zheng family have a bad relationship.
However, although the Zheng family was not treated by the King of Qi, Yang Guang was very good to them, and after he succeeded to the throne, he not only let Zheng Yuanshou inherit his father's title, but also worship Zheng Shanguo as Daliqing. Speaking of the Zheng family's "Lianshan" team, it is naturally a little ambition of the Zheng clan, they are the same as the declining Li family, hoping that their family can be revived, of course, after stepping on this road, they found that this is not the imaginary road.
After the whistle blows, the game begins.
The Lianshan team served first, and all eight people pressed the front court, showing their determination to move forward. However, it is clear that playing polo does not depend on determination, or that determination alone is not enough.
In the sighs of everyone, Lianshan's first attack failed, and after the Longteng team grabbed the ball, it was also the same way as Lianshan - attacking on all fronts!
"It's really an exhibition game!" Su You looked at it, shook his head and seemed to see the final result of his victory, if the other teams were like the two teams in front of him, there was really nothing to play.
But more people are enthusiastic, one time up, one time down, life is like bungee jumping, it is really too exciting and exciting.
"Wow! Scored! "In just three or five minutes, the Longteng team relied on sharp attacks and close cooperation to break through the goal of the Lianshan team first; Of course, the Lianshan team is not a persimmon to be pinched at will, they are not Wuxia Amon a month ago, and after serving, they also launched a counterattack that seems to have been planned for a long time, and the momentum of catching up made the audience addicted.
"It's a one-to-one draw." In the highest stands, Yang Guang nodded in front of the two teams' watches, and then predicted, "They are in the game, and the final result is naturally Long Teng wins." ”
Yang Ying was amazed by his father's vision, and immediately echoed, "The border army is the border army, and no one can please them if they fight together." ”
Since the emperor's father and son both pronounced the death sentence of the Lianshan team, the Lianshan team naturally lacked the skills to return to heaven; In the first half, the two teams still played back and forth, but at the beginning of the second half, after the Longteng team joined the new force, the Lianshan team basically knelt.
"So this is the main force of Longteng?" Some shouted in surprise.
"It's not that Longteng has god-like technology, but that even the mountains have pig-like bodies." This man is also a little irresponsible.
"It's not that we can't, it's that the opponent is too cunning!" This is the helplessness of the members of the Lianshan team.
The fact is that Long Teng had already sent the main force in the first half to wear down Lianshan's fighting spirit, and when the Lianshan team found that they could only fight with their opponents with all their strength, they tensed their nerves for a while, but when the balance lasted too long and was broken, they were already defeated......
Rout......
Longteng played a 7-0 climax, and if you count the first half, the score has become 12-4......
Is there still a fight for this? The Lianshan players only hope that the final whistle will sound sooner, they really don't have any more energy to stay on the field and let the opponent ravage, but this is not a battlefield, they know the fiasco but they can't run away, and they can't surrender!
The final whistle blew......
The players of both teams collectively bowed to the stands where Yang Guang was.
Yang Guangqi left, the players took a stand, and the audience slowly left the field while theorizing about this wonderful ball game.
It's just a warm-up game! The real game won't be seen until tomorrow, and what the audience wants most now is a ticket to the game,—— but this ticket can only be purchased when the newspaper comes out, and the newspaper will be given when the ticket is purchased! There is also information about the individual teams in the newspapers, as well as a newest way to play the sports lottery.
Of course, everyone is no stranger to the more exciting way of playing gambling, as early as when Su You was looking for players, he had heard that many Hu people had put their net worth on He Ruoliancheng; Well, it's clear that Heruolian is the star of the polo game, at least before the game officially starts.
The audience who watched the opening ceremony of the polo match in Yuanbi City was fascinated, and those who did not see the opening ceremony were more disappointed,—— after all, sharing the stage with the emperor and enjoying the hard work of the nobles is a rare occurrence in a century.
Unexpectedly, when Yuanbi City was still playing an exhibition match with a huge disparity in strength, the newspaper that was supposed to be published tomorrow was launched a day earlier, and it was an hour earlier than usual.
"Is this "Dongdu News" going to add more rhythm? Will it be published once a day from now on? The citizens who were still lost just now hurriedly took out money and grabbed a newspaper, although they were a little confused, but they still turned to the entertainment page for the first time.
"Do you want to buy a ticket? Tickets are only sold for 120 yuan, and one ticket can watch three games, and the average cost is only 40 yuan per game. By the way, buy a ball ticket and get "Dongdu News"! The first man had just snatched the newspaper when the newsboy shouted on the spot.
"Bought it! I didn't see the opening ceremony today, at least I have to watch the first game tomorrow! The person who got the newspaper just now was ruthless, and took out another silver bean and ten coins.
"Okay, please get the tickets, the money you gave is just right!" The newsboy collected the money and handed him a ticket.
"Let's take a look, it's also a pleasure to go to a thatched house in Yuanbi City, I heard the people who participated in the construction of Yuanbi City say that you don't even have to wipe your butt after going to the thatched house there, you can lift your pants and leave." The other person next to him also hurriedly paid one hundred and twenty dollars to buy a ticket, of course, he did not forget to ask for the free newspaper, and after taking these things, he began to encourage others.
"You're a bit of nonsense, I can imagine what the thatched house looks like, because we have already had such advanced equipment in Qi County, it's automatic flushing, and it's really enjoyable to enter the thatched house, because there is no smell inside!" The earlier mention that there was no need to wipe the buttocks in the thatched house caused a wave of curiosity, but soon someone broke this myth, and this person had obviously been to the starting point academy in Qi County.
"You people are really interesting, you go to Yuanbi City just to get a thatched house? Let's take a look at the arrangement of the ball game, I heard that the Dongdu Qianzhuang has recently opened a handicap, if we are sure...... Forget it, don't talk about it, I don't tell him about this kind of thing. A man who looked like a scribe also bought a ticket, and when he heard the crowd talking about the hut, he frowned, and then a few words drew the attention of everyone present to him.
"If you want to bet, first you have to understand the rules of the game, you have to see which team has the most future." The other man was noncommittal about his words, but instead of rushing to buy a ticket, he bought only a newspaper.
For those of them who can't even make it to the opening ceremony, if they want to get a head start on getting to know the teams and players that are participating, the newspaper in hand is the key.
"We all know the arrangement of the game, the 28 teams are divided into four groups, and the group plays a round-robin match, and the two teams with the best results qualify." After listening to the man's speech just now, everyone obviously realized the point, and they all looked at the newspaper and read it out loud.
"I have a question, is it possible for all three teams in the group to have the same results?" The young man next to him didn't buy a newspaper, and I don't know if it was because he was too poor or because he couldn't read.
"This is unlikely, and there are specific rules below: the results of the two teams will be based on a point system, with a win worth three points, a draw worth two, and a loss worth one point. If the number of points is the same, the final standings of both teams will be determined by goal difference, with the team with the highest goal difference coming first. The person who read the newspaper just now was noncommittal to the question of the young man next to him, but he couldn't help but answer him.
"Goal difference? What kind of ball is this? The young man then asked.
"Go, go, go, don't understand anything, what's the mix? Goal difference is the number of goals scored by subtracting the opponent's goals, understand? Listening to the young man's question, this man was already a little impatient, and after answering him without raising his head, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, tomorrow's first game will be played by Su You's Fengyun against the wasteland of General Changsun?" Who, hurry up and get me a ticket! ”
"Su You, is that the one who gambled with the son of the general? Who, give me a ticket too! The other person heard that it was the confrontation between Su You and Changsun Sheng, and he did not hesitate to pay for it.
Changsun Sheng's prestige is familiar to everyone, and Su You's recent limelight is also unparalleled, and after learning from the newspaper that this first game was a confrontation between these two people, everyone paid for tickets.
"Fortunately, I have a small cart ready." The newsboy was busy, and he was secretly proud of his precautions.
