Chapter 217: Failure is Success
Hulai staged a big four in the game against Lin Chunhongqi, which not only brought his total league goal tally this season to 28, but also scored four goals in a single game for the first time in his career - before he scored three goals in a game at most, completing a hat-trick, and this has never happened before.
After the game, because of his amazing performance, everyone started to face up to what he said before.
He said that he would become Wang Xianke's retribution.
He also said that once he saw Wang Xianke in the future, he would beat him once.
Some of those who had previously mocked Hulai with impunity could no longer laugh.
There is certainly a huge gap in quality between the Chinese Super League and the Chinese Super League, but Hulai has also proven in the FA Cup that he is also capable of scoring against Chinese Super League teams.
Because he's not the kind of player who needs to hold the ball at his feet to threaten the opposition goal.
He's the kind of player who always waits for his chances and takes them.
With his high efficiency, it doesn't take many chances to score.
So how could a Chinese Super League team not give Hulai a chance in a game?
Not to mention that behind Hu Lai, there are Zhang Qinghuan and Chen Xingyi, as well as Qin Lin, who will deliver cannonballs and create opportunities for him.
So Hulai wasn't talking angry, he was making promises.
Whether this promise will be fulfilled or not, no one knows so far.
But this must not be a nonsense that can be laughed at casually.

Four days later, the Twinkles welcomed their last league opponent at home, Nanling Nanling An Jinpeng.
This team, which was still playing in the Chinese Super League last season, has performed very badly after being relegated to the Chinese Super League this season, and has long lost its qualification.
Now they are ranked 15th, have been relegated ahead of schedule, and are completely in a state of no desire.
Hulai's performance in this game was not as impressive as the previous game, but he also scored twice, scoring two goals, and also completed his second league assist of the season, helping Chen Xingyi to score his thirteenth league goal in the league.
In the end, the Twinkles defeated their opponents 3-1 at home and ended the season with the longest winning streak in team history.
They have 86 points in the league, top the table, and are as many as seven points ahead of the second-place Lingnan Nanhai - yes, Lingnan Nanhai finally did not drop the chain at the final sprint moment, ranking second with 79 points, while Ning Tianyongan, who was originally on the same score as them, did not win in the final round, accumulating 77 points, and lost the qualification by two points.
In this way, the final two promotion places in this season's Chinese League A were won by two teams, Shining Star and Nanhai.
The Shining Stars have been in excellent form in the league this season, with 81 goals in the league being the most attacking team in the league and conceding the fewest goals in the league with 17 goals conceded.
With the sharpest spear and the strongest shield, it's no wonder they became league champions.
The Twinkle Star has also become a special "double" - winning the Chinese League and FA Cup in one season - this "double" is even more difficult to obtain than the double of the Chinese Super League.
After all, it is really easier for the Chinese Super League team to win the FA Cup than for the Chinese League A team to win the FA Cup......
Hulai has scored a total of 30 goals in this season's Chinese League, greatly improving the previous record of 22 goals.
This record may not be attainable for a long time to come.
This season is Hulai's first full season and the second of his career.
When everyone was worried that he would hit the "rookie wall", he handed over 30 goals and 2 assists in the league, 11 goals and 1 assist in the FA Cup, and 5 goals for the national team (although the East Asian Cup is participated in as the national Olympic team, it is nominally a national team, so it is counted as a national team goal), and the report card of the national Olympic team with three goals.
Forty-nine goals are shining and dazzling, not to mention the Chinese League, and no one in the Chinese Super League can play such a result.

After a day of rest, all the players and coaches of the team flew to the capital to attend the award ceremony of the Chinese League.
Unlike the FA Cup and the Chinese Super League, the trophy award ceremony for the champions of the Chinese League is not held on the playing field, but until all the games have been played, they are unified and awarded at a single award ceremony.
As a champion, naturally no one can be absent, as long as the players who are registered in the league must go to the award ceremony with the team to receive their medals.
And at this awards ceremony, Twinkle Star naturally became the biggest winner.
In addition to winning the 2023 league title, they also won the Club Culture Building Award for their home atmosphere, which is the highest among the 18 teams in the league.
Dong Wen, the general manager of the Shining Star Club, also received the Outstanding Manager Award, which is awarded to club managers who have made outstanding achievements in the operation of the club.
Shining Star is not a very big club, and there is no very strong financial father behind the support, to be able to win the double championship of the Chinese League and the FA Cup with limited investment, it is naturally inseparable from Dong Wen, the general manager of the club, who is busy and superb behind the scenes.
The award for Best Business Maintenance also belongs to Shining Star.
The Jincheng Division, the home stadium of the Shining Stars, won the Best Popular Division, which was well deserved for their average attendance, especially in the second half of the league.
These are the club awards that Twinkle Star has received.
In terms of individual awards, Twinkle Star is still the biggest winner.
Zhao Kangming won the best coach award, he led the shining stars to the double championship of the Chinese League and the FA Cup, and said that he is the best coach of the season in the Chinese league.
In addition, Hulai became the brightest star of the ceremony, and he won four awards by himself, namely the best player, the best scorer and the best local goalscorer, and the best popular player.
When he came to the stage to receive the trophy for the best local goalscorer, the hostess joked: "Eh, Hulai, don't go down, wait here for a while, we will give you the next awards, so that you don't have to run to the stage one by one." ”
The crowd erupted in laughter, with the players of the shining star laughing the most.
But Luo Kai, who came to the award ceremony with Pan Hongwei, the head coach of the Nanhai team, did not smile.
He just went up to receive his trophy – Rookie of the Season award.
This was a very important honor for him, a great encouragement and recognition.
He won a stiff competition against Chen Xingyi, and both of them performed very well, if not identically, with thirteen league goals and 10 assists.
However, the organizing committee considered that Luo Kai did not have the help of players such as Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, and Qin Lin in the South China Sea, which could better illustrate his ability, so this award was given to Luo Kai.
But for Luo Kai, he was not very happy.
First of all, this award was won by Hulai last season.
Secondly, take a look at the awards that Hulay has won this season......
That's the real big prize!
In front of others, my Best Newcomer Award feels like a consolation prize.
He just kept a straight face, and saw the host announce in the audience: "Best Popular Player...... Hulai!! ”
There was a round of applause mixed with cheers and whistles from the players.
"Top scorer - Hulai!"
Applause, cheers and whistles again.
"Best Player - Still Hulai!!"
Applause, cheers, whistles, and laughter.
The reason for the laughter was because of the four trophies, Hulai couldn't hold them with both hands, and he could only hold them in front of his chest.
The beautiful hostess handed the microphone to his lips: "How about it, give an acceptance speech, right?" ”
Hulai asked, "One award or four awards?" ”
The host was stunned, he didn't expect Hu Lai to be so unpolite, and the audience burst into laughter.
"Four-in-one!" Fortunately, the host also experienced strong winds and waves, and reacted immediately, humorously resolving the embarrassment she was stunned just now.
Hulai just hugged the four trophies and said very seriously: "I just want to thank my teammates and coaches here, and thank the Shining Star Club. As a striker who can only score goals, I am nothing without you. I thank Director Zhao for bringing me from the Poseidon Club......"
Chen Mo in the audience muttered to Zhao Kangming: "Fortunately, he didn't say 'thank God thank you', nor did he say thank you Sun He......"
Zhao Kangming was happy when he heard this.
"I am also grateful to Mr. Dong of the Shining Star Club, it was Mr. Dong who signed me."
Dong Wen sat in his position, holding the best manager trophy he had just received, and looked at Hu Lai on the stage with a smile.
He once thought that signing Qin Lin was his most proud reinforcement.
But now it seems that agreeing to Zhao Kangming's recommendation and signing a little-known Poseidon youth team player may be his most proud move since he took the position of general manager of the Shining Star Club.
Many years later, when Hulai became famous, people would not miss his name when they visited the beginning of his career.
"I would also like to thank every one of my teammates and coaches at the club, but I'm sorry I can't pronounce their names here, not because I am not sincere in my gratitude, but because I am afraid that if I say it all, I will be scold......ed."
In just a few words, everyone in the audience leaned forward and backwards with laughter, and the hostess on the stage laughed so much that she almost couldn't hold the microphone.
"Finally......" As the laughter subsided, Hulay said, "I would like to thank my mother...... And Dad. My dad wouldn't let me play football when I was a kid and I didn't understand why until I decided to play professional football and I didn't know why......"
Hearing Hu Lai say this, the people who had been so happy before gradually lost their voices and looked at him seriously.
Everybody knows what he's talking about.
The smile on the hostess's face also disappeared, and she pursed her lips to take the microphone for Hu Lai and listen carefully.
"When I was going to play, I had a big fight with my dad. He told me about the cruelty of professional football, using himself as an example......"
In front of the TV, Xie Lan pointed to the screen and said to Hu Lixin: "He shook everything out." ”
Hu Lixin snorted: "I can't cover his mouth." ”
Xie Lan smiled.
"I learned a lot about the cruelty of professional football from my dad. My dad probably wanted to scare me, but I went anyway. I didn't play professional football with the idea of 'playing professional football to make a lot of money, eat and drink spicy food, drive a sports car and live in a mansion', I know how many pitfalls and dangers there are in this industry, and I always maintain this vigilance...... And all of this was taught to me by my dad. Some people on the Internet say that my dad is a Loser and laugh at him for being a loser......"
Xie Lan secretly glanced at her husband and found that he frowned slightly.
She thought to herself, son, why do you say everything with your broken mouth? It's going live on TV...... Don't open any pot and mention which pot!
"But I'm going to say......" Hulay suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "so what? No matter how bad my dad is, that's my dad too. And failure...... It's a successful dad! ”
"Good! Hulai is awesome!! Zhang Qinghuan in the audience shouted loudly.
Next to him were Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi, who were desperately slapping.
Many more applauded.
Holding four trophies, Hulai stood in the center of the stage, bowing to everyone amid thunderous applause, and when he stood up, he smiled brightly.
