Chapter 24 Half-time
With only 40 seconds left, the game was either decided by a goal or ended in a draw.
Draw? Andrea will not accept this kind of result!
The rest was enough, and the physical strength that had just been consumed was readjusted by her.
Andrea curled her sideburns with her fingers and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Carl didn't know that this was a dangerous sign, which meant Andrea was thoroughly serious.
"Little brother, pay attention, you are playing half time!" Sophie on the sidelines is giving hints again.
Carl was simply confused when he heard it. Played in the half? What does that mean? If it wasn't half time, what were they doing here? There is no difference between half and full court except for the offensive and defensive positions, right? Ex-ball beginners start their own practice at half time, and Karl is no exception, but he has played so many halves and never felt anything special different.
The seniors said that this obviously makes sense, but I can't understand it at all!
Sophie was about to open her mouth to remind her more, when the electronic referee blew the whistle.
With forty seconds left, everything is back to square one, it's the final duel!
Let's end it early!
Carl leaps high, only to find a dark shadow pressing on his head.
Andrea's jump this time was even higher than him!
Bad thing! Because Carl was leading the kick-off before, he naturally thought that Andrea would still lag behind him this time, and he was just distracted by Sophie, so he was directly caught by Andrea.
Although Andrea's height is not as tall as Carl, at this last moment, she can still burst out with such a strong bounce ability!
Andrea scrambled the ball forward, then slipped under Karl's crunch and chased it after him.
Karl's jump was slow, and by the time Andrea overtook him, he hadn't been able to hit the ground, and by the time he landed, Andrea had shaken off his entire body and stopped the ball with his feet.
Carl yelled, "Not good! ”
You don't stand a chance anymore!
Ex-ball blasts out from Andrea's feet! This is the last long shot!
Is it still over...... Sophie sighed.
"No, you can't! It's not over yet! We're not there yet! ”
Carl's voice exploded on the pitch.
"I also want to continue playing with you Andrea and Victor!"
Carl roared and sprinted in the direction of the ball, intending to stop it before it hit the goal!
Andrea was stunned, is Karl still going to resist like this? The power and speed of her ball are so great that no one can catch up!
How could someone be faster than the ball that was shot out? That's impossible!
However, this is an Ex-ball course, and the charm of Ex-ball is that it makes the impossible possible.
Carl listened to the sound of sneakers popping on the grass, his heart beating wildly in his chest, his limbs swinging to the extreme, and the air became his booster.
He has only one goal, and that is to catch up with that ball!
It's like chasing a light that can never be reached.
He can also speed up! He actually caught up and was level with the ball!
Carl's finger eventually touches the ball, and the trajectory of the ball is offset! But the ball continued to fly towards the bench!
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Don't enter...... Qingfan prayed in a whisper.
A miracle happened, the ball hit the bench leg and bounced back.
This goal doesn't count as a goal!
Carl jumped up with cheer, seemingly forgetting that he was still in the middle of the game.
"Great! It worked! …… Oh! ”
A dramatic scene appeared, the ball that was bounced back smashed directly into Carl's face, and Carl was directly smashed to the point that his eyes were golden, and he fell down all of a sudden.
The blow was not light, and Karl was dizzy, feeling countless birds circling around his head, and it took him a long time to recover.
By the time he reopened his eyes to see what was going on on the field, the whole field froze.
The ball that had smashed into his face bounced back and rolled under the bench with a grunt.
At this time, the electronic scoreboard flipped over, 2:1.
This is not the key, the key is that the score of this own goal is actually counted on Karl's head!
At the same time, the electronic referee blew the final whistle.
This is...... Carl won?
Andrea didn't expect it, and neither did Karl himself.
Carlcher was completely confused, how did this ball look like an own goal of his, how could he score it himself?
He thought about it for a long time, and only then did he realize that he saw the ball light next to the scoreboard.
"Mind you, you're playing half time!" Sophie's voice echoed in her ears.
So that's what this sentence meant!
When playing full-time, the criterion for scoring is which side the ball went into. Half-time is different, because both sides share the same goal, so the criterion for determining which side scores is which side is in control of the ball before it is scored.
Andrea's long-range shot was first touched by Karl and hit the leg of the chair, and from the moment it bounced back, it was a free kick that did not belong to either side, and then the ball touched Karl's body, which was then entered the goal, and the system judged this unintentional move as Carl's active move, mistaking it for himself to bounce the ball into the goal. The moment the ball is in front of goal, the ball belongs to Karl, so this point is rightfully credited to Karl.
E-referees are rigid and will only be calculated according to rules and procedures.
How so? This shit luck is a little too good!
It was completely a loss of the rules, and Andrea was naturally not very convinced to lose, at this time, she clenched her fists, and her face was a little blue.
Carl also knew he could win, it was all a balloon and it wasn't glorious to win. Scratching his head, he walked up to Andrea with a slight apology. "There is a problem with the logic of this system, in fact, you should have won. Then I'll ......."
"No," said Andrea, "you have won, and I am willing to lose." ”
While she's really competitive, she's not too much to lose.
In the end, she was negligent, no opponent knew the rules better, and the system could not be blamed for this.
"After all, luck is also part of strength." Andrea shook her hair, and her eyes immediately sharpened, "However, next time, I won't lose again." ”
"Okay, good ......" Carl was a little startled by her momentum. But he was still very happy, Andrea's serious eyes, he liked it very much.
Qingfan suddenly appeared between the two of them, trying to ease the current atmosphere.
"You're all great! Ah, speaking of which, little Ann...... Andrea, did you just agree to join us? It is said that staying with fools will make you stupid, and Qingfan was almost led astray by Carl's habit of calling people "small".
Andrea nodded, she didn't have much of a problem with Qingfan's slip of the tongue.
It doesn't seem like a bad feeling to be part of a collective......
If it's Carl, if it's this group of people, it can really change Victor, maybe it's ......
It's not a bad thing to be with them for the time being.
"Great! Now there are four players on the team! ”
Carl jumped up happily and was about to hug Qingfan and Andrea in front of him, completely forgetting that these were two girls.
Obviously, before Carl pounced, Qingfan's face turned red all of a sudden, like a ripe tomato.
Andrea raised her eyebrows, and her boyfriend pulled Qingfan behind him with a big kick and kicked Carl out.
Carl was thrown directly on the bench, dizzy, and still saying something vaguely in his mouth, "Great, great, good, Xiao Ann is a good person" or something.
Sophie covered her face, Carl, Carl, you really have a snack......
————
On the other bench, the lion-haired boy stood up and stretched out a big stretch, and the bones of his whole body crackled with it.
For him, this aftershow is finally over.
I have to say that he actually became a little interested in such a weak team.
Although they are all a swarm of ants, sooner or later they will be trampled underfoot.
Let's see how long this group of ants can jump. This doesn't seem to be a bad thing, either.

"Hey, Andrea, where are you taking us? Isn't the residential area on the second floor of the city? I missed the tiered elevator just now! Have we been walking for a long time or are we on the first floor? Wow, why are the facilities here still so old, there is no one, and it doesn't look like a place where anyone will live! ”
Carl's big mouth never closed along the way.
"Follow me and you're done." Andrea really couldn't stand him, so she taught him a lesson.
Andrea said that she knew Victor's address, but she didn't know where she was, so she had to lead the way.
"I can only bring you here, and I'm not responsible for what happens after that."
That's what Andrea warned them about.
Now it seems that this warning is indeed justified. The place where Andrea wants to take them can no longer be described as "remote" alone.
They walked along a river that was almost negligible on the map, and the bustling high-rise buildings passed away from them, and the voices and noise faded away, replaced by low, crumbling ruins, like the products of the last millennia.
Although the navigation of the terminal is still valid here, the streets that have been marked everywhere are already nameless. It is hard to imagine that in the second administrative district, the most prosperous in 3876, such a place existed.
This is probably the kind of development wasteland that is called. It is a zone where human delusions and greed come to naught with money.
It's not early now, the sky is dark, and the small buildings are dark in the crimson sunset, like the favorite scene of that kind of weird movie.
This place is too weird, Qingfan still remembers the case in the school's safety education course, the bad guys like to abduct ignorant girls here.
But Andrea clearly doesn't look like the kind of person who can lie.
Just when everyone was full of suspicion, Andrea stopped.
"Here we are." She said, "Well, it looks like he hasn't come back yet." ”
This is an abandoned bridge cave.
Karl probed his brain curiously, and was completely shocked.
"Does anyone really live here?"
A set of covers, a cabinet for miscellaneous items, gone, just these two things, this is all Victor's belongings. The things were very rudimentary, but they were all clean, the bedding was folded squarely, and there was no dust on the cabinets, sealed with the kind of mechanical locks that had only been used for thousands of years.
Andrea says this is where Victor lives.
