The reversed Higashikawa Middle School celebrated the goal for a very long time – longer than they had been on their bikes in the first place.

By the halfway point, there were already teammates who wanted to return to the pitch. But he was pulled by Hulai, "Wait, wait." Wait for the referee to call us and we'll go back. ”

Everyone understands that Hulai is trying to stall for time, and it is not without precedent on the professional court, and it is not Hulai's idea. It's just that everyone is teenagers and thin-skinned, so they can't do such things that are obviously inconsistent with sportsmanship.

But Hulay didn't have that kind of psychological burden, and he really took every opportunity to pursue victory.

As long as it is within the limits of the rules, he has almost no qualms about doing such things.

In this way, the players of Dongchuan Middle School really waited until the referee couldn't stand it anymore and came up to remind them to hurry back to the court, Hulai beckoned everyone to return to the court, and the substitute players also walked to the bench of Dongchuan Middle School in groups.

When Hu Lai took everyone to the court, he and Mao Xiao, who had been standing in the court, clapped his hands, "Well done, Mao Xiao, thanks to you in the field!" ”

Mao Xiao also wanted to rush up to celebrate the goal at first, but Hu Lai gestured for him to stay in the field. Mao Xiao also immediately understood why Hu Lai let himself do this - according to football rules, all players must be in their own half when kicking off. In the actual game, if all the players on the scoring side run out of the stadium to celebrate, and only the loser is left in the field, then as long as all the players on the losing side return to their own half, the referee can blow the whistle according to the rules.

Because at this time, all the players "on the field" are indeed in their own half. As for the scorer who is not on the pitch, he is not a participant in the game at all - as long as he leaves the pitch, he is considered not to be involved in the game.

This is like the offside rule, if a defender is accidentally in a position further back than his own goalkeeper, and the opponent's attacking player is behind the defender's backline, then the attacking player is actually not offside, because there are two opposing players in front of him, not one, and he is not closer to the bottom line than the opponent's second-to-last player, so it is not offside.

In this case, the defender who fell behind his goalkeeper only needed to quickly run outside the baseline before the attacker passed the ball, and he could successfully create an offside, because when he was out of the field, even if he temporarily withdrew from the game, it could not affect the normal progress of the game on the field, and the opposing attacking player suddenly became closer to the baseline than the second-to-last player of the defending team, and was in an offside position according to the rules.

Being on and off the pitch is an important criterion for judging whether or not to participate in the game.

Therefore, in order to prevent all the players who score the goal from rushing out of the pitch to celebrate, and let the opponent kick off, at least one person must be left in the opponent's half. Only in this way can the losing side be prevented from kicking off the ball from the rules.

Mao Xiao was assigned such a task by Hu Lai.

In fact, Mao Xiao knew this rule, but at that time, he was excited to score a goal, who would have thought of this?

To his surprise, and admiration, Hulai was the person who should be excited, but he still maintained a terrifying calm at this time, and the first thing that came to his mind was to arrange for him to stay in the arena to prevent his opponent from taking advantage of the rules.

It has to be said that such a person can do such a thing as a cat waiting for an opportunity to grab the ball behind the opposing goalkeeper and shoot on goal...... Because his knowledge of the rules is truly extraordinary.

The rules of football are written in black and white, and it is not a secret, let alone obscure high-end knowledge, anyone can read it, but I have to say that many people's understanding of football rules may be limited to a few well-known rules such as "no one other than the goalkeeper can touch the ball with their hands".

If you can clearly tell what ball is offside and what ball is not, you can already be regarded as a master who knows the rules of football better.

As for the kind of unpopular rules, or loopholes in the rules, there are really not many people who have nothing to do to study......

Although he admired Hu Lai very much, there was one more thing that Mao Xiao didn't understand: "Hu Lai, it doesn't make sense for you to delay for so long in celebration, because the referee will definitely count you into injury time." ”

Hulai smiled, "I'm not here to stall for time. ”

"It's not about procrastination, then you ......"

"I'm here to demolish the morale of Dawn High School."

Mao Xiao suddenly realized when he heard this.

After losing the ball, Chen Xingyi has already taken the football to the center circle, isn't he just waiting for the game to start so that he can get it back? The other Shuguang High School players were also somewhat encouraged by Chen Xingyi's actions, and they couldn't wait to kick off right away.

But the more the opponent wants that, the less we can let the opponent get it.

Dongchuan Middle School celebrated enough, until the referee stepped in to stop them, and now they are deliberately running back slowly.

The players of Shuguang High School saw it in their eyes, how did they feel about Dongchuan Middle School's approach?

It's definitely unpleasant, but it won't stimulate the explosion of their small universe because of this.

I'm afraid that more emotions are impatience and impatience, so how much morale is left?

Everyone knows that you must not be impatient in the game, the more you are in an unfavorable situation, the more you must be calm, the more you must stay sane, impatience can only help.

Looking at the smile on Hu Lai's face, Mao Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart Fortunately, Hu Lai is on our side, otherwise he wouldn't have to be played to death?

Thinking of this, he gave Hulai a thumbs up, "Awesome!" ”

※※※

When everyone was delaying the time in celebrating the goal, Hulai was not idle, after all, the celebration was over, and he couldn't go back, so what was the rest of the time? Looking at each other, staring at each other?

Hulai took this opportunity to tell his teammates about the next arrangements.

There was not much time left, and if you count injury time, there were no more than 10 minutes left.

But in fact, this period is the most dangerous for Dongchuan Middle School.

Because people are likely to be overly excited or too relaxed by the reversal.

In the end, the ball was conceded in the fierce attack of the opponent.

If you concede a goal in the final minute of the game, you will be powerless, and even Hulai cannot guarantee that he will score again.

If you are brought into the penalty shootout by Shuguang High School like this, I am afraid that the morale of the whole team will collapse, and there is no way to beat Shuguang High School in the penalty shootout. Because penalty kicks are the most test of a player's mentality, and if the mentality is not good, five out of ten penalty kicks can kick two for you, even if you play at a super level......

So Hulai took advantage of the celebration to tell the whole team in detail what they should do next.

How to defend, how to delay time, how to reduce risk, how to foul, how to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm......

Anyway, the players of Dongchuan Middle School were a little dumbfounded, but they didn't expect their vice-captain to be so slippery in this aspect of playing dirty.

After the game restarted, they did follow the methods that Hulay had said, defending with all their might.

Shuguang High School naturally pressed on and poured out, and at this time, they didn't care if this would make the rear empty and be scored more goals by Dongchuan Middle School.

Because if you can't equalize, it's a pointless question.

Hulai, on the other hand, led by example in the game, stopping the attack of Dawning High School with a decisive tactical foul in one defense.

At that time, Hu Qiyan, the central defender of Shuguang High School, suddenly stepped forward with the ball and caught the defending Dongchuan Middle School off guard. Seeing that he was about to approach the 30-meter area of Dongchuan Middle School, Hu Lai pounced on him, hugged Hu Qiyan with both hands, and completely regarded the football field as a wrestling field.

Although Hu Qiyan was not knocked down by Hu Lai, he couldn't run with a person dragged like this, and was broken by Chen Rui, who was chasing back.

At this time, the referee's whistle also sounded, and Hulai was fouled.

And also gave Hulay a yellow card!

It was also his first yellow card of the tournament.

But for Hulai, trading a yellow card for the interruption of the opponent's attack was simply too profitable.

On the other hand, for Dawning High School, their surprise attack could have been completed, but it failed because of Hulai's desperate defense, and the players were inevitably a little frustrated while gritting their teeth at Hulai's foul...... Even if Hulay has a yellow card, what's the point? Their offense is gone!

So Hu Qiyan, who was fouled by Hu Lai, looked very angry.

Seeing Hu Lai's grinning appearance, Chen Xingyi's face also showed an anxious look.

Chen Xingyi frowned, this look rarely appeared on his face......" the narrator sighed.

The fans of Chen Xingyi in the stands were also a little silent at this time, many people were sitting, and the lights and banners hung down weakly.

There was not much time left in the game, and even the person with the most confidence in Chen Xingyi was shaken.

※※※

The fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines for four minutes of stoppage time, meaning there were only four minutes left in the final of the national competition.

The substitutes for both teams all left their seats and stood on the sidelines, staring nervously at the pitch.

The same goes for the respective coaches.

Liang Yuanhao's expression was solemn, Li Ziqiang's face was expressionless but his brows were slightly furrowed, and they all turned their heads to look at the direction of the forbidden area of Dongchuan Middle School.

The back line of Shuguang High School was all pressed in front of the opponent's penalty area, and the two central defenders simply went to the penalty area to become center forwards.

And goalkeeper Pei Jie stood near the center circle.

At this point, the game has almost been played in half time - there is no one in Dongchuan Middle School who can dribble the ball through the half court......

Supporters of Dawning High School in the stands cheered on their team as hard as they could, hoping they would equalize.

Chu Yifan and his roommates were loudly cheering for Dongchuan Middle School, "Resist!" Resist you guys and you're a national champion! ”

"Bigfoot out of the siege! Don't hesitate! ”

"That's right! That's it! Kick to the sidelines! Try not to give corners! ”

"Go up and block it! Don't let Chen Xingyi get the ball at the edge of the penalty area! ”

Similar shouts are heard in the classrooms of Dongchuan Middle School, thousands of miles away.

Then I don't know who shouted the first sentence first, "Come on Dongchuan Middle School!" ”

More and more students joined, and then more classrooms, more classes.

In the end, "Come on, Higashikawa Middle School!" Such roars converged on the campus and formed a torrent.

The secretary at the door of the principal's office heard the shouts coming from outside, but he didn't bother to look at him at all, his whole person was like a tense bowstring now, and he didn't look at the TV screen anymore, anyway, he could know what was going on by listening to the commentary, and his eyes fell on Principal Zhai.

The gray-haired old headmaster had already risen from his seat, leaned forward, and propped his hands on the table and his body, staring at the TV screen.

The secretary looked at the old principal's face, which was red to the base of his neck, and hesitated in his heart, whether to go up and drag Principal Zhai down now......

At this moment, he heard the old principal's voice: "Xiao Zhang, if you dare to advance at the end of the game, I will expel you!" ”

The secretary's body shook, but finally did not move.

※※※

Yang Mingwei took the time to cast a glance diagonally forward, and Li Qingqing stood there, with his back to him, maintaining a clenched fist posture and not moving for a few minutes.

Like a sculpture.

This child, worried about her father to this point, is really filial......

Yang Mingwei sighed in his heart, and then continued to watch the live broadcast of the game.

He was also very nervous, so he had to forcibly shift his attention to Li Qingqing.

As a professional football head coach, every game played by the team is a test for the heart, but I didn't expect to watch a high school student game to relax, and in the end it was so nervous......

This damn football!

※※※

Hulay has almost become a midfielder, and his main position is now in the area of the penalty arc at the edge of the box.

He's not good at defending, he's not good at tackles, all he can do is when the opposing player gets the ball here, block in front of the opponent and don't let the opponent shoot or break through easily.

So he kept running sideways, using all his physical strength on it.

Now he is extremely glad that after the semi-finals, he used the [Stamina Potion] to recover his strength, otherwise he would not have lasted at this time, and he might not even be able to last until he scored the third goal before he was replaced due to exhaustion......

It turned out that the [Stamina Elixir], which he didn't care much about, had skyrocketed in his heart.

Hulai noticed that he was a little distracted, and he quickly shook his head.

Then I saw Chen Xingyi rushing over with the ball from the middle of the front, compared to himself, he still has physical fitness, at least he didn't mix garlic under his feet when he passed.

He passed Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Rui, came to the penalty area of Dongchuan Middle School, faced the three-person defense line composed of Hu Lai, Ma Shuang and Tang Yuan, pulled the ball horizontally, and still dodged dexterously, and got rid of Ma Shuang.

Chen Xingyi, who dodged the angle, did not continue to dribble the ball, because Tang Yuan had already pressed up, even if Chen Xingyi had broken through three people in a row, he was a little strong, and he was not sure that he would pass another person, so he picked up his left foot and pumped towards the football.

At the same time, behind Ma Shuang, who was passed, Hu Lai was killed.

Seeing Chen Xingyi's posture, he threw out his whole person's center of gravity, slid and shoveled over on the excellent quality natural turf of the Lotus Course, turned his back to Chen Xingyi, and raised his left leg high at the same time.

Chen Xingyi's left foot hit the football, and with a muffled bang, the football flew towards the goal!

But in the flash of lightning, the ball grazed the calf of Hulai's left leg, jumped up, flew high above the goal crossbar, and landed in a free-fall position to the stands behind the goal of Dongchuan Middle School, where it was picked up by a lucky fan......

The players of Shuguang High School pointed to the corner flag area one after another, signaling to the referee that this should be a corner kick, maybe this may be their last chance to attack, and goalkeeper Pei Jie also rushed up when he saw this.

Chen Xingyi suddenly heard a miserable cry in front of him.

He withdrew his gaze and looked down to see Hulai rolling in pain over the calf of his left leg......

With just one glance, Chen Xingyi realized that Hu Lai should have cramped, and that defense just now should have exhausted all his strength.

So without saying a word, he grabbed Hulai's left foot against his abdominal muscles, lifted his left leg and straightened it, and wrenched it down hard.

The players on both sides next to him were stunned when they saw this scene, and the players from Shuguang High School wanted to accuse Hu Lai of deliberately delaying the game time by cheating on injury, but they couldn't say anything when they saw this.

Tang Yuan, a teammate who originally wanted to come up and give Hu Lai a simple stretch, just stood by and watched.

Hu Lai, who was lying on the turf and grinning, looked at Chen Xingyi stretching himself with a solemn face, then gasped and said, "You guys are running out of time, why don't you go to the corner?" ”

"I won't give you a stretch quickly, I'm afraid you can lie on the court for an hour......" Chen Xingyi said as he pressed down hard.

"I'm really cramping this time!" Hulai protested.

"I know."

At this moment, both of them suddenly heard a crisp whistle, three times!
