Chapter Twenty-Three: The King VS the Dark Horse
This game was just an ordinary one-eighth final, but more than 20 reporters came, and the camera racks they brought could scare many people who had never seen the world to death on the sidelines. Just because of this game, the opponent of the High School Affiliated to the King of Science and Technology is this year's big dark horse Shuguang Middle School. It's a team that always gives people something to look forward to, and everybody comes to see them with anticipation.
In the stands of the football stadium of Shuguang Middle School, the cheerleaders of Shuguang Middle School appeared in neat costumes, waving several flags, hanging various slogans, and constantly shouting slogans to cheer for the team. All the reporters regarded this as a very common scene in the high school league, but Chen Huafeng asked the photographer to take more than a dozen "clicks" in the stands. He knew what this scene meant to the Dawning team, who had been obscure. Maybe many years later, these photos will become classics and people will have endless memories.
Zhang Jun looked at Liu Qi, who was dancing the flag vigorously in the stands, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It's only been two months, but why does he feel like it's been a long time?
Anke's screams interrupted his trance. "It's coming!"
The luxury school bus of the High School Affiliated to HKUST appeared in the field of vision.
"One, two, three, four, five! Wow! Kill you! Last time, CITIC was dragged enough, and only three came. This time it's five! Anke exclaimed.
"Nothing surprising." Yang Pan listened to the music and said, "Football is played by eleven people, and it is useless to have more people." ”
"I agree with Yang Pan's words. One side can only play eleven people on the court, and the key is to look at these eleven people. It's our home stadium and I don't think we necessarily have to lose to them. Ren Yu chewed gum and said, there was no word "nervous" on him.
"Really. It stands to reason that they are all older and not surprised, but now they are young and are not afraid of anything.
It's really chaotic! Xie Wei looked at a few first-graders who were "chatting" on the side and said.
"Are you nervous?" Suri asked.
"Don't be nervous, that's fake!" Li Jieguang answered for Xie Wei. "The opponent is the hegemon of high school football in the country! Many teams go limp just by hearing their names. ”
"So, your legs are weak?" Li Xiaopeng teased him.
"! How can I have weak legs? Weak legs in front of first grade? Wouldn't that be a shame! ”
Liang Ke looked at his team members happily. Li Jieguang is right, many people will have no fighting spirit when they hear the words "High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology". However, today he did not see this in his own teammates. It's normal to be nervous, after all, it's the first time they've hit this job, and there are so many people looking forward to it. Many people will be too stressed because of this kind of pressure and will not perform properly. However, when he saw the players joking with each other, he knew that this would not happen to them today.
The arrival of the High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology caused a stirring among the reporters, many people flocked to the bus where the team members were riding, and countless questions were thrown at the team members who had just gotten off the bus.
Li Yongle, who successfully prevented Lin Ling in the last game and quickly rose to become a star, was naturally "taken care of" by more reporters.
"May I ask Li Yongle, you successfully defended Lin Ling in the last game, do you have the confidence to defend against the Dawning Attack Array in this one?"
"I don't think I should answer that."
"Li Yongle, you scored your first goal in the last game, will you still score in this game?"
"It depends."
Li Yongle struggled to squeeze out while dealing with reporters.
"Li Yongle, it is said that Zhang Jun, the opponent's top scorer in this game, will not play, and you, who have been responsible for keeping an eye on the opponent's arrows, will the task of this game change?"
Li Yongle stopped violently and turned his head. The question was asked by Zhou Peng, who often goes to school for interviews. "Is this true? Zhang Jun doesn't play? ”
Zhou Peng nodded, "It was the other party's coach Mr. Liang Ke who said it." What will be your mission? ”
Li Yongle said with a serious face: "Win this game!" ”
After speaking, he ignored the pestering of reporters, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked towards the team lounge.
Zhao Defeng patted Li Yongle on the shoulder: "How is it?" It's a bit of a star, right? He didn't get an answer, but found that Li Yongle's face was gloomy and his appearance of not saying a word was really scary.
The players put their bags in the locker and started changing. Zhang Yang sat down next to Li Yongle: "Zhang Jun can't play?" ”
"Yes."
"Don't care! There are still two years, what are you afraid of? Won't run again! ”
"I know, but the thought of waiting two years makes me unhappy!"
"I've waited for half a year, and it's okay to wait another year. Don't think about it, think about it. ”
Zhang Yang comforted Li Yongle.
Li Yongle nodded: "But then again." You seem to be more worried about this game than I am!
Your opponent is Yang Pan! “
“…… Yikes! I forgot ......," Zhang Yang cried.
"Hey! What do you say......"
Home team lounge.
"I don't have much to say, the high school attached to HKUST is very strong. You take another look at the table and close your eyes and think about how these games came about. Then go all out to win! ”
There was silence in the lounge.
Zhang Jun looked at the matchup table and remembered the scene that night, when Sophie was lying on the ground making the matchup. He won't play, but he still did what Liang Ke said. He doesn't just remember those games, from him to this school, to joining the team, and finally to today, he remembers all the bits and pieces. Sophie's smiling face and her "I love football", a hat-trick in the warm-up match, and Liu Qi and the banner that says "victory".
It's only been more than two months, but he really feels like it's been a long time.
Away team lounge.
"I would like to conclude by emphasizing that Dawn is not a weak team, and any underestimation of the enemy in any sense will make us suffer greatly.
Get your mentality right and play this game like you're going to a final. Li Yongle, since Zhang Jun is not up, you should invest a little more in the offense, and shoot more! “
Li Yongle nodded.
Sun Laihong glanced at the team members, and then said: "Our goal is to be in the whole country, go all out to realize our dreams!" ”
When the players of the two teams stepped onto the court from the lounge, the audience roared with joy. For the first time, the Dawning team heard their own cheers. From today onwards, the light of day is not what it used to be.
Li Yongle looked at Zhang Jun on the bench, he sat expressionlessly, and couldn't see what he was thinking. Li Yongle's heart was not calm at all, he thought to himself that when he asked you yesterday, you said that running was no problem, but when I saw you today, you sat on the bench as if nothing happened. What is this?
Zhang Jun looked at Li Yongle on the field, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't see what he was thinking. But Zhang Jun's heart was not calm at all, how he wanted to play, to run, shoot, and enjoy those cheers. But the damn foot injury, the doctor said that it would take at least ten days of rest to heal. 10 days......
The High School Affiliated to the University of Science and Technology won the right to pick the edge, and the Dawning team got the right to serve. The players of both sides stood in their respective formations and waited for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.
Without the task of taking pictures, Chen Huafeng can finally go to the stands and watch the game well. Zhou Peng sat beside him.
"How's the interview going?"
"Only one question was asked. When I told Li Yongle that Zhang Jun was not playing, his expression was really terrible. ”
"In this way, the rumor that Li Yongle is going to confront Zhang Jun is true."
"Yes. I've checked, and they haven't seen each other at all in junior high school, so I really don't know why there is such a strong confrontation. ”
However, now that Zhang Jun can't play, this selling point doesn't exist anymore. It's a shame......"
The stadium fell silent all of a sudden. Everyone is waiting.
The referee looked at the table again, 15:00 sharp.
"Toot-"
The race is on!
