Chapter 172: Who's Afraid of Whom?
To tell the truth, from the time Qingyang Yigao launched a side offensive and was cut off, until Xia Xiaoyu passed the football to Wang Junchao, I am afraid that many people have not cast their eyes on Hu Lai at all.
In other words, I didn't think of Hu Lai at all.
The vast majority of people watch the game and their eyes always follow the football. Wherever the ball is, they look at it.
It's not just the spectators, it's the players, it's a habit to do that.
Therefore, if you conduct slow-motion replay and video analysis of Dongchuan Middle School's attack, you will find that when Xia Xiaoyu pressed to the front of Qingyang's tall penalty area with a football, the three Qingyang Yigao defenders who returned to defense, whether it was the left central defender closest to Xia Xiaoyu, or the right fullback who went to the middle to make up the defense, the movements were very consistent - while running back, he turned his head to look at Xia Xiaoyu who was dribbling the ball.
Even if Xia Xiaoyu passed the football out, their action never changed. At most, he shifted his attention from Xia Xiaoyu to Wang Junchao, who was about to catch the ball.
And Wu Xiaodong can still think of turning his head to confirm Hu Lai's position at this time, which is already a very good defensive performance......
But unfortunately, he can only confirm it so intermittently, and he can't keep an eye on Hulai from beginning to end, in which case, he will lose his judgment on football and the trend of the game......
This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
It is also a stage for offensive and defensive players to battle wits and courage.
Offensive players have to find ways to run into the air without being caught by defenders.
Defenders have to do everything they can to keep an eye on the attacking players and not let them escape from their defensive range.
It's like a game of cat and mouse.
And in this cat-and-mouse contest between Hu Lai and Wu Xiaodong, it was obvious that Hu Lai had the last laugh.
He rushed forward in one breath and resolutely inserted himself into the middle of the goal, which naturally made Wu Xiaodong think that Hu Lai would wait in the middle to receive a cross from his teammates.
Unexpectedly, when Wu Xiaodong shifted his attention to the development of football, Hu Lai suddenly stopped and changed direction, successfully took advantage of Wu Xiaodong's blind spot, and then flashed to the front point, received the ball and shot, and completed the score.
Not to mention Wu Xiaodong, even the audience who almost has a "God's perspective", when Hu Lai suddenly stepped forward to shoot, few people didn't notice him.
By the time they noticed him, it was too late, and Hulay had already run to the corner flag area of the pitch and jumped up to celebrate the goal with his trademark celebration......
※※※
"Unbelievable! Dongchuan Middle School scored a goal in a counterattack! Eighteen minutes into the game, Higashikawa Middle School took the lead! Hulay scored with his first shot of the game! And before this goal, it was obviously Qingyang Yigao who had the advantage! ”
The exclamation of the narrator was heard from the speakers outside the phone.
And at this table, the Dawning High School players who were watching the game all looked at each other.
No...... Is Qingyang One High School more dominant? How did Dongchuan Middle School's attack after a backcourt steal form a goal?
And this is still Hulay's first shot of the game?
Scored with the first shot?!
Don't you want to be so efficient!
"Haha!" Chen Xingyi, who was facing his mobile phone, laughed, breaking the somewhat embarrassing silence.

On the pitch, the players from Dongchuan Middle School pounced on Hulai and celebrated the goal with him.
Zhou Zijing looked over and didn't see the scorer, because he was surrounded by his teammates.
Zhou Zijing, who retracted his gaze, ran all the way back to the goal of Qingyang Yigao, bent down and leaned over to pick up the football in the goal. Hold it in your arms and turn around and run back.
He passed by the goalkeeper with his hands on his hips and his head down, the defender teammates who looked up at the sky and sighed, the captain Wu Xiaodong who shook his head, and the dejected teammates......
He held the football in one hand and clenched the other into a fist to cheer them on: "It's just one goal behind!" No big deal! We'll just get it back! ”
Wu Xiaodong was touched by his words, and his eyes, which were originally a little confused, returned to clarity, and looked at the back of Zhou Zijing running towards the middle circle.
He suddenly remembered how this kid had behaved when he first joined the varsity team.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Zijing from the third class of the first year of high school. Position: Striker. My goal is a national victory! ”
At that time, before this person spoke, he was specially selected from the new team members of the first year of high school, and then he held his head high, said the above words loudly and confidently.
caused many people present to be stunned at first, and then laughed.
Even the head coach of the team couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "You kid have read too many comics, right?" ”
Unexpectedly, in the midst of laughter, Zhou Zijing refuted the head coach very seriously: "What does this have to do with comics, coach?" I came to join the school team just to participate in the national competition, and I participated in the national competition to win the national championship! ”
Not to mention that the whole team of players is no longer smiling, even the head coach Wang Zhi looked at him in a daze.
Few people like this outspoken freshman in high school. At that time, Qingyang No. 1 High School had missed the national competition for two consecutive years, and as a result, as soon as you came, you said that your goal was the national championship, who do you look down on?
But when the qualifiers for the national competition began, the players of Qingyang Yigao quickly understood that they were not pretending, they were really awesome......
From the first game, Zhou Zijing scored consecutive goals and was full of firepower.
In the end, he became the top scorer in the qualifiers with 19 goals, beating the second place scorer in the list by a full nine goals.
Qingyang Yigao also relied on his nineteen balls to regain the championship of the Feiyan Cup in Ningtian Province after two years and qualify for the national competition.
At this time, no one would laugh at the "big words" that Zhou Zijing said.
This kid sometimes talks too stinky, which is really annoying, but on the football field, his stinky fart arrogance makes everyone feel at ease......
Wu Xiaodong raised his arm with the captain's armband and, like Zhou Zijing, shouted to his teammates: "Zhou Zijing is right! It's just a ball! We can get it back! ”
In the shouts of him and Zhou Zijing, more and more Qingyang No. 1 High School players regained their sanity and confidence, and they raised their heads one after another to sweep away the previous decline.

Hulai and his teammates ended the celebration and everyone ran back to their own half.
As he passed outside the middle circle, Zhou Zijing was stepping on a football and turned to shout to his teammates: "The game has just begun!" It's just a ball! ”
His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the players from Dongchuan Middle School who passed by.
Hulai is among them.
And when Zhou Zijing found Hu Lai's gaze, he deliberately raised his voice, squinted at Hu Lai and shouted: "Isn't it just a goal?" Who's afraid of whom! ”
"Hey, Hulai, he's targeting you." Meng Xi, who ran back with Hu Lai, elbowed Hu Lai. "Did you hear me, he's going to score a goal with you!"
"He's right, Meng Xi. It is indeed than a goal. So you have to be careful. Hulai said.
"He has a personal grudge with you, and I ......" Meng Xi thought before he finished speaking: he is the goalkeeper, the opponent is the striker, and the opponent wants to score a goal with Hulaibi, isn't that just to hit the ball into the goal he is guarding?
Thinking of this, Meng Xi took a sip: "Damn, why does the contradiction between him and you get involved with me?" ”
"Who made you the goalkeeper?" Hulai spread out his hands and grinned.
Meng Xi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said to Hu Lai: "In this way, Hu Lai, you beg me, beg me, I will help you block his shots, and promise not to let him score more goals than you!" ”
Hu Lai smiled back at him, then stood outside the center circle, and then waved goodbye to Meng Xi: "Go back to the goal." ”
Meng Xi had no choice but to run towards the goal, and at the same time he turned to look at Zhou Zijing who was standing in the middle circle and muttered, "Can I still let your kid enter my goal?" And Hulaibi to score? Have you asked me no? ”
