Chapter 3: The First Goal
At 16:30 p.m. on June 9, 2010, with the referee's whistle, the second round of Group D of the 10th Huaguo University Student League National Finals Beiping Sports University VS Yuzhou University officially began.
To be able to enter the national finals, the strength of Yuzhou University is still good.
Although Peking Sports University is famous, it did not press Yuzhou University like the host, the midfield strength of the two sides is about the same, and the game is impressive, and both sides have a lot of shooting opportunities.
But Cheng Hai didn't shoot easily.
Because he is relatively thin and has fewer chances to get shots in the box, he does not dare to waste it easily.
Adhering to the tenet of "quietly entering the village and shooting guns", before getting an excellent shooting opportunity in the penalty area, Cheng Hai continued to use his more flexible running position and speed to pull and run according to the coach's requirements, creating gaps and opportunities for another teammate Shen Hui.
He was afraid that he would not be able to score the goal rashly and attract the attention of the opponent, so it would be bad to strengthen his defense.
Therefore, Cheng Hai's goal is to constantly create opportunities for Shen Hui to draw the attention of his opponent's defense for himself, and then hit the blow when he gets the best opportunity.
With the passage of time, the Beiping Sports University was indeed paralyzed by Cheng Hai, thinking that Cheng Hai was a substitute striker who had no threat and put the main defensive attention on Shen Hui.
In the opening half hour, although Shen Hui got several chances to shoot on goal, he was limited to his shooting skills and the opponent's defense against him, and never scored.
But Yuzhou University had better luck than Peking University of Physical Education.
In the 36th minute, when Shen Hui received a pass from his teammates again in the penalty area and hit the goal, there was no threat to this shot, but a defender from Peking University of Physical Education stretched out his foot to block it, but did not block the ball, resulting in the ball only having a slight change of line and flying to the back of the goal.
The goalkeeper, who had pounced on the goal, was dumbfounded, and turned his head to watch the ball fly from behind him into the goal.
Yuzhou University leads Peking Sports University 1-0.
Shen Hui and his teammates immediately celebrated excitedly, and Cheng Hai also joined in the celebration.
After the celebration, Peking Sports University opened the middle circle ball, and the game continued.
BSU, who conceded the goal, wanted to fight back with all their might to score a quick goal to equalize, but there was too little time left for them.
One minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 0-1, with Yuzhou University leading by one goal.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, with Peking University of Physical Education continuing to vigorously press the attack, and Yuzhou University slightly contracted the defense line to try to hit the opponent's defensive counterattack.
As a result, the defensive counterattack did not succeed, but was equalized by BSU in the 52nd minute through the cooperation of several players in the front field to pass the ball into the penalty area and form a shot.
The score was tied at 1-1 and the two sides returned to the same running line and began to fight each other in midfield.
The two sides are equal in strength and have the same score, and if there is no Cheng Hai, the two teams are likely to be tied.
But now that Yuzhou University has Cheng Hai's 16-point variable in archery, it's different.
After more than 50 minutes of play in the first and second halves, the defenders and goalkeepers of BSU were completely paralyzed by Cheng Hai.
Of course, there is also a credit to Cheng Hai's teammates.
I thought that Cheng Hai's shooting skills were not good, and his teammates didn't pass the ball to him very often, even if his position was better.
This further deepened the impression that the players of Beijing Sports University were not good at Cheng Hai's shooting skills and just came up to make heads, relaxed their defense against him, and focused on defending Shen Hui and other Yuzhou University forwards and defenders.
Cheng Hai was overjoyed and continued to use his thin but flexible body and speed to keep running for opportunities.
Finally, in the 67th minute, Cheng Hai got the best chance since the start of the game.
This opportunity was not passed to him by his teammates either.
It was the forward He Jiaxing who made a long shot on the line of the big penalty area, and the eyes of players on both sides were attracted by the ball.
There is a phenomenon on the football field, that is, when someone shoots a goal, most of the players on both sides will unconsciously focus on the ball, and then slow down or even stop the pace of running.
This is the case this time, after seeing He Jiaxing shoot, the players of both Yuzhou University and Peking Sports University focused on the flying ball and the Beijing Sports University players who saved.
In addition, Cheng Hai was not taken seriously in the first place, so naturally no one paid attention to him.
As a result, He Jiaxing's shot neither hit the goal frame nor flew out of the bottom line, but just hit the post and bounced back into the penalty area.
And the second landing point of the ball was just in front of Cheng Hai.
At this time, the defenders of BSU woke up like a dream, and a defender closest to the landing point in the penalty area hurriedly ran over to try to clear the siege.
But Cheng Hai was faster than him.
Seeing the ball flying towards him, Cheng Hai took a step forward without hesitation, and shot at the falling ball with one foot, and then cushioned the ball into the goal.
Although the ball did not land, with the blessing of the 16-point shooting technique, Cheng Hai almost subconsciously made the most correct shooting action, and did not make any mistakes, and easily cushioned the ball into the goal.
Although the defenders of BSU who arrived later knocked Cheng Hai to a stagger, it was to no avail.
In the 67th minute of the second half, Cheng Hai scored a supplementary shot in the penalty area to rewrite the score to 2-1 and once again took a one-goal lead for Yuzhou University.
Although it was a lucky shot, Cheng Hai still waved his fists and ran wildly on the court to celebrate, venting the ecstasy in his heart.
Because, when he scored the first goal after the system possession, a wonderful system electronic sound came to his mind, and there was more than one sentence:
"Congratulations to the host for scoring the first goal, completing the novice mission, and getting 5 skill point rewards, and the current skill point balance is 6!"
"Congratulations to the host for scoring a goal and earning 100 XP points."
"When the host reaches level 0 100/100, it will be automatically upgraded to level 1 0/200."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully leveling up, randomly opening the new skill 'Stop the Ball', and getting 10 skill point rewards, the current skill point balance is 16."
In the electronic sound of the system's awards, teammates gathered around to hug or high-five Cheng Hai in celebration.
Partner striker Shen Hui patted Cheng Hai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid is lucky, you actually picked up one and got one!" ”
He Jiaxing, the former midfielder who had just shot a long shot on the line of the big penalty area but hit the post and popped up on the post for Cheng Hai to complete the supplementary shot, also said: "You have to thank me for this goal, if I didn't hit the post and bounce back for you to pick up the leak, where would you have a chance to score?" ”
Cheng Hai didn't argue, and said with a smile: "Luck! Luck! ”
Everyone walked to their own half court while celebrating, waiting for the BSU to open the middle circle.
