Chapter 40: The Trap
Xi'an, Nine Swords Captain's Room.
This room of about thirty square meters is the captain's room of the Nine Swords Clan, or to be more precise, it is more like an exhibition room. Except for a dozen or so dazzling trophies standing quietly in the display case, the entire wall is covered with photographs.
Each photo records an honor, which was won by the elites of the Nine Swords with their indomitable fighting spirit and tenacious struggle. There was a reason why they were framed for the descendants of the Nine Swords Clan, because in those days when the strong teams were around, it was already a near miracle for the Nine Swords Clan.
Although there are a lot of honors, there is always something missing.
At this time, the captain Chen Shuai was standing in front of these photos and contemplating.
Looking back on the years of China's Pro Evolution Soccer e-sports professionalization, almost every team has had its own glory, Tianlong, Red Sun, 442, 433 ...... They all once stood on the top podium of the National Live Competition, but only the Nine Swords team was never able to rank among the first-class teams, and they could only look at the backs of others from afar.
Now, the opportunity has finally come, and after tonight, maybe the era that belongs to the Nine Swords Team will begin, and it is I, Chen Shuai, who will bring the Nine Swords to the throne of the king with one hand!
Thinking of this, Chen Shuai showed a smug look on his face, and at the same time, a thunder exploded in the originally clear sky......
The thunder rumbled, but how could it cover the world's desire for fame and fortune......
★★★★★★★★
At this time, in the Chasing Waves Bar, Su Xiaoyang was still fighting hard, and the sound of thunder in the clear sky just now made the onlookers couldn't help but look left and right, and they didn't understand how the weather could thunder.
Chu Xiaoxiao saw that Su Xiaoyang was becoming more and more powerless, so her beautiful eyes flowed, and she had already taken it into account. I saw her smile and ask a young man next to her, "Huh, why does it usually thunder in Xi'an on sunny days?"
The young man's intuition lit up, and he immediately fell for this beautiful woman in pink, and the words he said were all slurred:
"Ah...... No, I think it's weird......"
Chu Xiaoxiao smiled, as if intentionally or unintentionally, she asked the person in front of her who was fighting fiercely with Su Xiaoyang, "Hey, you also heard the sound of thunder just now, right?"
The man didn't answer, but snorted coldly: "Don't bother, if I was so easily disturbed by you, it wouldn't be me." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao's face turned red, glared at him, and stopped talking. She raised her eyes to look at Su Xiaoyang, and saw that Su Xiaoyang was concentrating on the enemy, this wooden boy who was usually like a wood was more heroic at this time.
At that time, the man's attack speed was getting faster and faster, Su Xiaoyang was gradually exhausted, and Ashley Cole on the left side had been played by the opponent's Aguero twice in a row, and the goal was in jeopardy.
The minutes ticked by, and if it continued, it would only be a matter of time before the goal was conceded.
In this case, it is better to simply seek change! Attack out! Hit the opponent by surprise!
Su Xiaoyang gritted his teeth and prepared to fight back.
He had the right idea, but it was only when he put it into practice that it was really hard to implement. Because the opponent's possession of the ball was so good, if it wasn't for his own mistakes, it would have been difficult to have a chance to get the ball.
At this time, Su Xiaoyang once again remembered what Nameless once said:
"Anyone, no matter how powerful he is, will always have weaknesses, even if he is as strong as Zhou Yunfei!"
The nameless teacher must be right, but, but where is the weakness of the person in front of him?
While organizing the defense, Su Xiaoyang carefully looked for loopholes in the opponent's attack.
After struggling to support it for about thirty minutes from the second half, the "weakness" that had been longing for Su Xiaoyang finally appeared.
After blocking the opponent's countless extremely threatening attacks, Su Xiaoyang suddenly discovered a "rule", that is, most of the opponent's attacks were on the right side, that is, his own left side, and almost more than 70% of the threatening breakthroughs and threatening passes were launched on this side. Even the eight goals conceded in the first half were scored on this side.
In other words, the opponent doesn't seem to be very good at attacking on the left side, and looking at the opponent's arrangement, there are no other players on the left side except for leaving a Rodriguez to roam back and forth, and even the big gate Heinze on the left side was replaced in the midfield, and he was replaced by Veron, who is known as the midfield magician, so that the original configuration of the back four has become a back three.
Hope is here!
Su Xiaoyang could feel his heartbeat.
This is the first time he has started to observe his opponent's weaknesses in a match, and he is proud of his ability to spot such a "pattern". All you have to do now is try to push your opponent to the left and then wait for an opportunity to counter-attack.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoyang began to deliberately strengthen the pressing on the right side.
The opportunity came sooner than expected!
Perhaps the opponent was too numb on the right, so a long pass was shifted to the left, and the ball flew in a graceful arc in mid-air towards Rodriguez on the left.
Here's your chance!
At this moment, Su Xiaoyang's mind flashed another nameless teaching:
"For those who have better control of the ball than you, it is very difficult for you to grab their ball, because the opponent will never easily take the ball away, let alone let you break the ball easily, at this time all you have to do is force them to make a long pass, only when the ball is in the sky, not at their feet, you have a chance!"
You only have a chance when the ball is in the sky and not at their feet!
This is the moment!
Su Xiaoyang, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately mobilized the right-back Gary Neville to rush up, the ball had just begun to fall from the air at this time, and Rodriguez, who was standing in place, was naturally unable to compare with Gary Neville, who was running and jumping from behind, so the ball was jumped high by the latter to the front, and when Rodriguez stumbled and did not react, Owen, the fastest in the England team, had rushed out like lightning.
The opponent has been attacking with all his might, and there are only two centre-backs at the back, so the whole central midfield seems to be a smooth road.
After Owen caught up with the ball, he rushed forward and rushed to the opponent's big penalty area at a gallop, vaguely letting people see the figure of the boy chasing the wind back then.
Behind him, Wayne Rooney picked up a run down the left to bring away a centre-back, with Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard ready to pick up a lethal long-range shot.
Four against two in the front, in the eyes of anyone, this is already a must-score situation. For a professional gamer, such an opportunity is almost like an empty door.
Will this goal go in?
Argentina's central defender Samuel answered with his actions!
Owen's specialty is his speed, speed is his strength, and Einstein's theory of relativity tells us that strength can also become weakness at some point.
For example, at this moment, Su Xiaoyang used Owen's speed to dribble the ball all the way to the front of the penalty area, but what he didn't expect was that the opponent's Samuel actually fell sideways on the lawn one and a half places away from him.
This is an action that is already too ordinary to be ordinary, but it is such a seemingly ordinary action that makes Su Xiaoyang speechless.
From the layman's point of view, this action is really nothing to boast about, let alone Argentina's Samuel, even China's Li Weifeng can easily fall on the lawn.
But this seemingly simple action actually contains a lot of technical elements. The most commendable thing is the calculation of the timing and distance of Samuel's fall.
Just after Owen took a step (note, not a big stride), it was too late to do other actions such as passing, direct plugging, etc., and it was too late to change the direction of the ball, so he could only watch the ball hit Samuel's body, forming a situation where people could not pass the ball. For the calculation of time, the opponent has been accurate to the millisecond.
Let's look at the distance. Because Owen is closely followed by Gerrard and Lampard, two fierce players who are good at playing long-range shots, they naturally can't shovel the ball as usual, otherwise Samuel just broke the ball, and the ball was immediately snatched away by Lampard behind Owen, so that the opponent formed a single knife situation. Therefore, he fell to the ground in a half-body position before Owen to ensure that the ball was cut off and that he could keep the ball at his feet before Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard caught up.
This trick has a very interesting name in the real world called "Waiting for the Rabbit", I just want to fall to the ground early, even if you can see my intentions, it can't change the fact that the ball is broken.
It seems to be an ordinary move, but it actually requires a strong grasp of time and distance.
Su Xiaoyang secretly screamed that it was not good.
Sure enough, Samuel won the ball and immediately passed it to the returning midfielder Mascherano, and then the ball was passed to Rodriguez on the left again.
Su Xiaoyang couldn't hit a blow, and immediately organized a defense, because the opponent's fast attack gave him no chance to regret it. However, what made him feel a little consoled was that the opponent attacked from the left side this time.
According to the data he observed, the opponent's attack on the left side almost always ended in failure or error, in the first half Messi faced the goalkeeper on the left side and knocked the ball away, and several times even if he got a chance to score, he always had to transfer the ball to the right side of the goal, and the opponent seemed to have no confidence in his left side.
Well, just hold on a little longer! Either way, hold on to the right flank and it will be difficult for the opponent to break the goal! As long as the opponent doesn't score in the second half, it's considered a success!
However, looking at the situation on the field, the opponent's counterattack on the left side was extremely resolute, and there was no intention of moving to the right side, and Rodriguez, Messi and Veron, who had just been replaced in the second half, actually approached their own penalty area in the form of a triangle pass. This was uncommon throughout the first half and in the period leading up to the second half.
It is no longer a simple personal breakthrough, but a combination of gorgeous breakthroughs and precise passing. The scalpel-like passes, one by one, cut through Su Xiaoyang's defensive line, what is the strongest defensive line, what is the top central defender partner, in the face of the opponent's overwhelming attack, it suddenly became the flashy Maginot line, and it collapsed with one blow.
How so? It looks like the opponent's left side is even much stronger than the right side. The attack on the right side can at least be resisted by itself, but in the face of the fierce attack on the left side of the opponent, his defense line is like a lonely boat in the stormy seas, and there is a danger of capsizing at any time.
Don't......
At this moment, a terrifying thought suddenly flashed in Su Xiaoyang's mind.
Could it be that from the very beginning of this game, the opponent is deliberately digging a trap and deliberately letting himself notice his left side? In this way, even the opponent has calculated clearly in advance the route of his counterattack, and even the long pass from the right side to the left side, it seems that the opponent deliberately created such an opportunity for himself to steal!
I expected that I would defend in the second half, I expected that I would find opportunities to counterattack when I couldn't hold on, I expected that I would find "holes" on his left side, I expected that I would find opportunities to steal long passes, and I expected that I would counterattack with the extremely fast Owen......
Almost everything, the opponent is clear, the whole game is completely under the control of the opponent, he is just a chess piece, step by step according to the route designed by the opponent......
If that's the case, then this opponent is really too strong! It's too terrifying!
Su Xiaoyang raised his eyes and looked at the opponent opposite, only to see that the man's face was showing a smug expression, which could be seen on the faces of some anglers who caught big fish.
As Ferdinand was also broken through by Messi, Su Xiaoyang gradually closed his eyes, that's it, if he loses this game, he will lose, after all, the opponent's strength is far above himself, but looking at the person's appearance, he is just a peer who is not much different from himself.
No, I can't give up, I still have a chance!
Su Xiaoyang opened his eyes and manipulated Terry to shovel it from behind......
With this tackle, Messi stumbled a few steps and fell into the penalty area, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.
Penalty kick......
