Chapter 8 Give Me the Ball, I'm Going Home
"Are you looking for it?"
A girl like Hu Lai, wearing a Dongchuan Middle School uniform, with a soccer ball on her feet, stood at the entrance of the secret base, looking at Hu Lai.
Instead of looking at the girl first, Hulay set his sights on the football.
He recognized it, and it was indeed his own football.
Then his eyes fell on the girl's face, and he recognized that it was Li Qingqing, a transfer student who had just come to their class today.
"Give me the ball back." Hu Lai pointed to the football at Li Qingqing's feet and said.
Li Qingqing smiled: "Okay, as long as you can snatch the football from under my feet." ”
Hu Lai was happy when he heard this: "I'll tell you, I'm very good at football, don't say that I'm a boy bullying ...... when the time comes."
He walked towards Li Qingqing as he spoke, and at first he walked normally and unhurriedly.
But when he was about to approach Li Qingqing, he was talking and suddenly stabbed the football at Li Qingqing's feet!
“…… Schoolgirl! Huh? ”
He stabbed out with this unexpected kick, but instead of kicking the football, he swept the air.
Li Qingqing was like a fallen leaf, swept away by him, not only was not the ball broken, but floated past him and appeared behind him.
Hu Lai turned his head to watch the football fall from the air and fall to Li Qingqing's feet.
"Wow, you're so cunning! Good thing I reacted quickly! Li Qingqing exclaimed, but with an excited smile on her face, and then she hooked her hand to Hu Lai: "Come again!" ”
Hu Lai turned around and pounced on Li Qingqing...... The ball at your feet.
But he still couldn't grab the football this time.
Li Qingqing first stepped back, and after pulling the football back with his right foot, he suddenly knocked the football behind Hu Lai, and the football drilled between Hu Lai's legs!
At the same time, Li Qingqing jumped lightly behind, dodged Hu Lai's grab, and then started to rush forward again, bypassing Hu Lai, and catching up with the football.
"Come on, come on!" Li Qingqing shouted excitedly.
This summer, she was busy transferring schools, busy moving, and after changing to a new environment, she didn't know anyone, and she hadn't played football with anyone for a long time.
Now with the soccer ball under her feet and fighting with people, she felt every cell in her body moaning happily, it was the excitement and excitement of being free after being locked up for a long time.
Hu Lai turned to look at Li Qingqing, and his expression gradually became serious: "Don't say I didn't warn you, I'm going to be serious." ”
Li Qingqing nodded: "Okay." ”
"I'll tell you I'm serious, but even I'm scared!"
"Come on, then!" Li Qingqing also put on a posture.
Hu Lai rushed up, and then was passed by Li Qingqing.
"I'm really serious this time!"
"Come again!"
"Very well, woman, you have succeeded in provoking me, and you have to pay for it...... Price! ”
"Go on! I don't believe me......"
"Hey!"
"I'll ......"
……
Hulai did everything he could, and on several occasions he even used the trick of American football - grabbing Li Qingqing with his hands, but Li Qingqing was as nimble as a butterfly, always able to dodge him before he touched him. As a result, Hu Lai not only did not hug Li Qingqing, but also let himself fall into a dog to eat, and his school uniform was covered with mud, looking embarrassed.
※※※
When Hulai fell to the ground again, he did not get up again, but sat on the ground silently, no longer babbling as before.
Li Qingqing felt that he had just warmed up, and he was waiting for Hu Lai to continue, but he saw such an abnormal performance.
Looking at Hulai sitting on the ground with her head down, she suddenly realized that she was a little too much.
Then she thought of what Hulay had said to herself at the same table in gym class this afternoon.
If football doesn't give you any pleasure, will you continue to love it?
Hulai is always unable to snatch the ball from his feet, and it is normal for people to suddenly not want to play.
Thinking of this, Li Qingqing took the football to Hu Lai with guilt, wanting to comfort him a few words - after all, if you don't consider physical confrontation, there are not many people who can snatch the football from her feet, so Hu Lai has no need to be frustrated......
"Hey, you're angry?" She asked cautiously.
"Nope."
Hu Lai continued to lower his head, but listening to his tone, Li Qingqing still felt that the boy in front of him should be angry.
"That, don't be ......" Li Qingqing was about to continue persuading, but suddenly saw Hu Lai, who was sitting on the ground, with his hands behind his back, his body suddenly ejecting like a spring, and at the same time, his right foot also kicked the football at Li Qingqing's feet!
Li Qingqing and Hu Lai are close at hand, it is almost impossible to dodge at such a close distance, plus Hu Lai broke out and acted suddenly, this time it can be said that he is bound to win!
But Li Qingqing's body was like a conditioned reflex, and her left foot quickly knocked the football at her foot to the right, which was able to avoid Hu Lai's right foot!
"It's now!" Hu Lai shouted, and the hands supporting his body exerted force again, and his body twisted into a twist, driving his left leg to sweep over from the outside!
It turned out that his right foot was just a false move before, and now his left foot is his true intention!
He used false tricks to force Li Qingqing to react in a hurry, so that when his left foot swept over again, Li Qingqing would definitely not be able to dodge.
But just when his left foot was about to sweep the football, Li Qingqing's right toe was very hidden and upturned, and the football knocked over by her left foot was very lightly provoked, and then her right foot was lifted up with the football, because the speed of the two was the same, it looked like the football was hovering on the surface of her left foot.
As soon as her right foot was raised, Hu Lai's left leg also swept over, swept under Li Qingqing's foot, and rubbed against the sole of her shoe.
This made Li Qingqing stumble a little when he landed, but he did not lose control of the football.
In order to guard against Hu Lai's possible follow-up attack, Li Qingqing turned around and retreated five meters away with the football, and then he sighed: "Wow! Insidious! ”
Because of the action of grabbing the ball just now, Hulai rolled on the ground, and now his clothes and pants were smeared with black mud - although he had been exposed to the sun for a day, only the water on the surface had evaporated. After a tossing and turning by two people, this vacant land turned into a rotten vegetable field.
Hulai, who is like a mud monkey, looked very frustrated: "Why can't you grab it like this......"
Li Qingqing did not relax his vigilance, but continued to stand at a distance and said, "It's strange to be able to grab it." Your body coordination is so poor that you can't make your movements coherently. ”
"Nonsense! I'm a striker, how can a striker be good at stealing the ball! Hulai, who was sitting on the ground, argued.
Li Qingqing kicked the football directly to him.
Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to return the football to him so easily, he thought that he had to snatch the ball from the opponent's feet.
"You've been to me." Li Qingqing said to Hu Lai.
"That's what you said...... Hu Lai got up from the ground, pointed at Li Qingqing and said, "I'm a very powerful ......."
Before he finished his words again, he suddenly took the ball and killed Li Qingqing.
Then he took a step to the left, and Li Qingqing was unmoved.
Sure enough, Hulai's left foot crossed the ball and did not touch it.
Then he stepped forward with his right foot to football.
Li Qingqing remained unmoved.
This time, Hulai's right foot touched the ball, but instead of plucking the ball, he stepped directly on the football, and then the right turn of the body was interrupted, and the inertia caused him to lose his balance and fall to the ground at once.
He got on a buggy.
At the same time as he fell, his left foot touched the football, and the ball slowly rolled towards Li Qingqing, and finally stopped after touching Li Qingqing's foot.
Li Qingqing looked down at the culprit who caused Hu Lai to fall, and then looked up at Hu Lai lying on the ground.
"The ground is too slippery, it rained last night...... Hulai explained, a little embarrassed.
Li Qingqing kicked the football back again.
Hu Lai got up from the ground, took the football and charged Li Qingqing again.
※※※
When Hu Lai failed to get past Li Qingqing for the tenth time, the football rolled to Li Qingqing's feet, and Hu Lai sat on the ground, not looking at Li Qingqing, and defended: "Actually, I am a point-grabbing striker, and shooting is what I am best at." That dribbling is not ......."
But Li Qingqing shook his head: "Your tablemate is right, you are not suitable for football, and you can't play football if your coordination is too poor." ”
Hu Lai raised his head sharply and glared at Li Qingqing, and said indignantly: "What does that fat man know? He doesn't even watch the game, what does he know about 'coordination'? ”
"I can see the coordination." Li Qingqing said.
She watched Hulai train alone from the window for a while yesterday, and when he received the ball, he was very stiff and gave people a very uncoordinated feeling, which is why there were so many mistakes in stopping the ball.
Today, I practiced against Hu Lai for a while, which strengthened her judgment.
There is a big problem with the person's body coordination.
"Coordination refers to your ability to complete a technical movement through the coordination and cooperation of various parts of the body. For example, the action of stopping the ball requires your eyes to observe, your brain to think, your body to act, and then use a reasonable and appropriate force and range of action to catch the ball......"
Speaking of this, Li Qingqing slammed the football into the uneven stone wall.
The soccer ball slammed into it and bounced in an unpredictable direction.
Before Hu Lai could react, Li Qingqing had already quickly run over, and then raised his foot to stop the football.
It was a powerful ball, but Li Qingqing stopped very easily, as if the football marked by Hu Lai was actually Li Qingqing's, and only listened to her.
This made Hu Lai look a little jealous and a little frustrated - he was not even as good as a girl......
"If you don't have good coordination, you can stop the ball in your face."
Hu Lai thought of the scene of his secret training here yesterday, and the bridge of his nose seemed to ache a little.
"Some people think that coordination is agility, but it's not just agility, it's balance. In the game confrontation, coordination is more important. You can't do a good move when you play football alone, how can you do it well against others in a game? Have you ever wanted to shoot hard, kicked out with a round leg without exerting power, and even knocked yourself down? Li Qingqing looked at Hu Lai and asked.
Hulai nodded, but then defended: "Occasionally, very occasionally!" ”
"That's a sign of poor coordination." Li Qingqing didn't care about Hulai's defense, and continued, "Coordination is the basic ability of a football player, and it is the link that connects the technical and tactical abilities of players, strength, endurance, technique, speed, flexibility...... These abilities are all combined by coordination, and it is impossible for people with poor coordination to play football well - how can those who can trip themselves first on the pitch become professional footballers? ”
Speaking of this, Li Qingqing suddenly realized that the teenager in front of him was not a professional player, and it was even likely that he had not received slightly formal football training since he was a child, and his own words were too heavy for him.
So she coughed and added, "Of course, you just kick and play, and it's okay to entertain yourself......"
Hulai suddenly asked, "Then I want to join our school football team?" ”
Li Qingqing didn't expect Hu Lai to ask such a question...... Then she thought about her father's strict requirements, shook her head and said, "It's no fun." ”
Hu Lai didn't believe it: "You say that if there is no play, there is no play?" ”
"Is it more demanding to kick and play in PE class, or is it more demanding to join the varsity team?" Li Qingqing asked rhetorically. "You can't play football in your class PE class, and you want to participate in the school team to play inter-school games? I said it's okay to kick and play, just kick and play...... Why? ”
Li Qingqing saw Hu Lai waving to her.
"Give me the ball, I'm going home."
The boy covered in mud slowly got up from the ground.
※※※
Li Qingqing watched as Hu Lai bowed in the grass and hid the football in it. His posture of pouting his ass was still funny, but Li Qingqing didn't laugh this time.
She wondered if her sentence "You can't even play a soccer game in class physical education class" hit this teenager?
She still remembers what Hulai looked like in physical education class at the time.
Even if everyone didn't take him to play, he still stood on the sidelines and watched the game.
He really cares about it......
Hu Lai, who hid the football, didn't say hello to Li Qingqing, but directly stepped on his broken bicycle and rode away crookedly.
In Li Qingqing's eyes, Hu Lai's back at this moment overlapped with the lonely figure standing on the sidelines in physical education class.
The setting sun stretched his figure on the ground for a long time, until it reached the girl's feet.
