Chapter 10: Perfect Archery
After watching the World Cup, everyone else still had some difficulty sleeping, but Cheng Hai quickly fell asleep with the help of the system, and then entered the dream training system.
After waking up the next morning, Cheng Hai not only gained 100 points of dream training experience, which made his experience rise to level 4 450/700, but also became energetic again.
On the other hand, the players from Yuzhou University and other teams all seemed to be a little sluggish, obviously affected by last night's World Cup.
At 16:30 p.m. on June 12, 2010, the quarterfinals of the 10th Huaguo University Football League National Finals of Yuzhou University VS Shimen School of Economics officially started in the North District Playground of the Central Campus of Shengjing University of Technology.
After three intensive group games, plus the impact of watching the World Cup the night before, it was clear that the players of both teams were taking a physical impact.
The only exception is Cheng Hai.
Even though he played two group games and watched the World Cup last night, he slept well with the help of the system and was well rested, both physically and mentally.
As a result, this game became Cheng Hai's performance.
Cheng Hai's shooting skills at 19 points, running without the ball at 14 points, stopping the ball at 13 points, and physique at 12 points all made him like a fish in water in this quarter-final of the Grand Football Federation.
Although Shimen University of Economics had already known Cheng Hai's strength through the intelligence of the first two group games and guarded him strictly, Cheng Hai's 14-point off-ball run still allowed him to easily run out of the gap in this kind of amateur game.
As long as his teammates pass the ball over and let Cheng Hai form a chance to shoot, his 19-point shooting skills can give him a high probability of hitting the ball in the goal frame and forming a threat.
Only 8 minutes into the opening game, Cheng Hai rushed into the penalty area through the no-ball run out of the gap, and his teammate Shen Hui, who took the ball, passed the ball horizontally in a timely manner, and Cheng Hai kept volleying two or three meters to the left of the penalty spot, and the ball was drawn into the corner of the goal of Shimen University of Economics.
Cheng Hai opened the scoring to give Yuzhou University a 1-0 lead, and Cheng Hai himself gained 100 points of scoring experience, and the experience rose to 550/700 at level 4.
After the score is ahead, Yuzhou University can play more calmly.
Shimen School of Economics, on the other hand, was forced to press the formation and tried to score as soon as possible to equalize the score.
But after the formation was pressed, it just gave Cheng Hai more space to play.
In the 24th minute of the first half, Shimen University of Economics failed to score a goal to equalize the score, but on the side of Yuzhou University, Cheng Hai successfully countered offside in a counterattack, and then received a big pass from his teammates in the backfield.
Although he was caught up by the opponent's defender when he stopped the ball, Cheng Hai still occupied the position of the ball with his 12-point physique, and stopped the ball with a 13-point stopping technique.
Then, Cheng Hai carried the push and pull of the opposing defender behind him to bring the ball to the line of the big penalty area, and faced the attacking goalkeeper with a volley and pumped the ball to the far corner of the goal.
Although the goalkeeper made a save, Cheng Hai's angle was too awkward, and he couldn't touch Cheng Hai's ball, so he could only turn his head and watch the ball go into the goal against the far post.
In the 24th minute, Cheng Hai scored a brace, and while helping Yuzhou University take a 2-0 lead, his level experience also rose to level 4 650/700, and if he went further, he would have to upgrade to get skill point rewards and open new skills.
This made Cheng Hai run more actively.
However, after Cheng Hai scored two goals, Shimen University of Economics was already very strict with Cheng Hai's marking, and basically there were two people defending by his side at any time, so that Cheng Hai had a lot less chance of getting an open shot.
In the 37th minute, although Cheng Hai got another opportunity to receive the ball in the penalty area and shoot with his feet, he missed the ball under the interference of the opposing defender.
Instead, it was Shen Hui who took advantage of Cheng Hai to draw most of the attention of the opposition defence and scored a counter-attacking goal in the 43rd minute before the end of the first half to extend the score to 3-0.
After 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 3-0, with Yuzhou University leading Shimen School of Economics with Cheng Hai's brace and Shen Hui's goal of three goals.
At halftime, Shimen School of Economics replaced a midfielder and replaced a striker, which was going to attack desperately.
With three goals behind, they no longer have a way to care about the gaps in the backfield, so they can only attack frantically in order to at least equalize in the second half.
To be able to enter the quarterfinals, the attack of Shimen School of Economics still has merit.
In the frenzied attack of the whole team, they finally scored the first goal in the 52nd minute of the second half, leveling the score at 3-1 and only two goals behind.
Shimen School of Economics, which got back a point, was suddenly boosted in morale, and made persistent efforts to try to continue the onslaught and score again.
As a result, in their aggressive attack, more gaps were revealed at the back.
So, in the 66th minute, when Yuzhou University got another chance to counterattack, Cheng Hai once again used his offside running skills without the ball to successfully counter offside, received a diagonal pass from the front waist He Jiaxing on the right side outside the penalty area, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper to shoot successfully, and hoisted the ball into the empty goal behind the goalkeeper.
Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick to lock the score at 4-1.
When the referee's fingers circled and whistled to indicate that the goal was valid, Cheng Hai's pleasant voice came to Cheng Hai's mind:
"Congratulations to the host for scoring a goal and earning 100 XP points."
"Host XP reaches level 4 750/700, and is automatically upgraded to level 5 50/1000."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully leveling up, randomly opening the new skill 'Man Marking', and getting 10 skill point rewards, the current skill point balance is 10."
Cheng Hai's initial stat of human marking is only 4 points, and it is obviously a defensive skill, which is of little effect to Cheng Hai.
Therefore, in the process of celebrating with his teammates and returning to his half, Cheng Hai added all 10 skill points to the "archery", so that the archery was upgraded from 19 points to 20 points.
This is a level that no one has ever reached in the history of world football, and only Cheng Hai has reached this level by cheating on the system.
At this point, Cheng Hai finally has a perfect skill with a full value of 20 points, and it is the most important skill for a striker.
Even the world's biggest stars such as Pele, Maradona, Gerd Muller, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Inzaghi, Ruud van Nistelrooy and so on cannot compare with Cheng Hai's shooting skills.
This is Cheng Hai's unique advantage.
Next, what Cheng Hai will perform is worth looking forward to.
