Chapter 45: Temptation
Under the watchful eye, a 433VS422 peak showdown finally kicked off.
Lin Xiao didn't have the slightest intention of testing at the beginning, he manipulated the attacking maniacs of the Dutch team to launch wave after wave of offensive attacks towards Chu Tian, don't you want to defend? Then I will keep beating you so that you can't raise your head!
He knows Chu Tian too well, for Chu Tian, the real game actually starts from the second half, and throughout the first half, he will use it to wear down the opponent's fighting spirit and observe the opponent's weaknesses.
Chu Tian's side really just organized the defense in a low-key manner, starting from the back Pirlo and Gattuso to the back four in the backfield, plus the world's No. 1 god Buffon, the seven people were like iron walls, blocking all of Lin Xiao's attacks.
He waited patiently, waiting for an opportunity that could kill him with one blow. In his opinion, as long as you are human, you are bound to make mistakes, and he uses a rock-solid defense to play around with his opponents, and then waits for them to make mistakes.
Since their debut, the two of them have faced each other no less than ten times in big and small competitions, winning and losing half of each other, so it can be said that both sides already know each other very well.
But sometimes, it's not a good thing to know too much.
At the start of this game, the two men each made a mistake.
Lin Xiao thought that Chu Tian would definitely shrink his defense, and he even confidently thought that he could completely suppress Chu Tian with his offensive attainments, but he ignored one point, as Zhou Yunfei said, 442 is a team that interprets defensive counterattacks to the extreme, and its terrible thing is not in defense, but in a one-hit counterattack. Regarding this, although Lin Xiao knew and expected the opponent to show his defensive flaws in the counterattack, he did not calculate that when the opponent counterattacked, it must be when he made a fatal mistake, and this mistake was likely to lead to his total loss.
Similarly, Chu Tian made a similar mistake. He insisted that as long as you are human, you will make mistakes, you will make mistakes. It is based on this that he carefully maneuvers with his opponent in order to be able to catch his opponent's mistakes and win with one move. But he also ignored one point, Lin Xiao is a human being, and he is also a human being, Lin Xiao will make mistakes, and he will also make mistakes. The odds of making a mistake are equal for both people, and they may have made a mistake before the opponent makes a mistake, and once their mistake is turned into a goal for the opponent, the game can be declared over early.
Later matches proved that both men paid the price for their strategic oversights.
In front of the tough Italians, the Dutch team failed to attack for a long time. In the twentieth minute of the first half, Robben burst on the left, and after a series of shaking, he finally barely managed to get past Zambrotta, and stabbed the ball to Van der Vaart before Gattuso came up to help, Italy's Nesta saw this and rushed forward to block the angle of his shot or pass, but unexpectedly, Van der Vaart did not receive the ball, but scored a point in both legs and leaked the ball to Sneijder on the right.
At this point, the Italian defence finally loosened a little, and there was a brief gap in Nesta's position, and Sneijder fired a powerful left-footed volley from the right side of the box.
For a thoughtful and cautious person like Lin Xiao, if he doesn't pass the ball to the penalty area, or if there is no absolute chance, he will not shoot easily. Nameless had also analyzed Lin Xiaoyang's characteristics for Su Xiaoyang before, that is, he rarely shot from a distance. At this time, the shot on the line of the big penalty area somewhat reflects Lin Xiao's confidence in this ball. Because the ball was played in the right position where Nesta was already out of position, and the angle was awkward, once the ball was shot, even if the opponent had a god-like goalkeeper like Buffon, it would be useless.
Lure the snake out of the hole and strike hard.
But if Chu Tian was breached so easily, he would not be called the strongest defender in the country.
At the moment when this shot just came out, a person suddenly killed in the oblique stab next to him and raised his foot to block the ball.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, it turned out that it was Pirlo who quickly stepped forward to block the shot.
Everyone knows that a long-range shot is the most effective way to break down a dense defence, because even if you can't score, it's enough to cause chaos in the box. Like the truth that heroes come out of troubled times, chaotic situations can easily lead to goals.
However, if the opponent doesn't even give you a chance to shoot from a distance, no matter what position or angle you shoot, the opponent blocks them one by one, it will make people feel hopeless.
Knowing the strategy to destroy the enemy, but not being able to carry it out, is a painful thing in itself.
At this moment, Lin Xiao is like this, he tried to shoot long from outside the penalty area over and over again, and failed again and again. Only then did he realize what a tough defensive guy he was in front of, so strong that he was almost invulnerable.
In fact, Chu Tian at this time was also not happy, although he defused the opponent's attack again and again with his rock-solid defense, but he never waited for the moment when the opponent made a mistake, he also wanted to counterattack, and he wanted to reduce the pressure on his defense through counterattack, but the opponent's attack was too sharp, and he counterattacked again and again after failure, and it seemed that the tide would never stop. It's already very laborious to block left and right by yourself, where is there still time to organize the attack.
However, at least one thing is still beneficial to Chu Tian at the moment.
As time passed, the first half was coming to an end soon, in fact, although Lin Xiao had always taken the initiative on the field, the whole game was going according to Chu Tian's rhythm. Lin Xiao's short pass penetration was fruitless, and he failed again and again with long shots, and this little failure will definitely affect Lin Xiao's psychology, and when this influence reaches a certain level, it will manifest itself in some form.
This manifestation is generally referred to as "mistakes".
Master duel, in many cases, is not a contest of technology and consciousness, but a psychological confrontation.
Aren't you very attacking? I'll let you attack! I'll slowly wear down your fighting spirit with my invulnerable defense, making you more and more impatient, and the more impatient you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes! The better my chances of winning!
In fact, the situation at this time was as Chu Tian expected, although Lin Xiao was still calm on the surface, his heart had changed.
In the final of the last national competition, Lin Xiao used tricks to induce Chu Tian to make a mistake at the last moment, so as to get the winning penalty, but in a master like Chu Tian, it is already difficult to repeat the old tricks, so he can only think of other countermeasures.
In the 45th minute, Dutch team center Vanney, who had been struggling to get the ball, took the initiative to withdraw from the Italian penalty area, Robben passed the ball to his feet, only to see Vanney make a shot after getting the ball, attracting Gattuso to come to tackle, but he faked a shot and went forward. Chutian obviously didn't expect Vanney to single-handedly challenge the entire Italian backline, so he immediately arranged for another midfielder, Andrea Pirlo, to stick to him, neither allowing him to shoot comfortably or passing the ball easily.
But how strong Fanny was in physique, Pirlo stumbled and felt that he couldn't keep up, Chutian was in a hurry, hurriedly pressed the substitution button, and called Cannavaro to come and attack.
What needs to be briefly explained here is the L1 key, when defending or scrambling for the ball, the role of this key is to make substitutions, and replace them with people in a more favorable position to card or break the ball;
It is very taboo to give the opponent a free kick in front of his penalty area when the master duels against him, because in the whole course of the game, only when the opponent takes a free kick, his defense is completely controlled by the computer, and he only has the right to choose who to fight for the top or block, that is to say, when the free kick is taken, it is generally the weakest time for the opponent's defense.
Explaining this clearly is conducive to our understanding of Chutian's defensive thinking.
Under normal circumstances, pressing the substitution button when Pirlo is close to defending Ruud van Nistelrooy will form a pull, and the referee will usually award a direct free kick, but at this time, the role of the "red ji" comes out.
The difference between the so-called handle and the ordinary handle is that the former is specially designed for professional gamers, and more emphasis is placed on the sensitivity of the buttons and combo skills. And everyone's technical characteristics and tactical style are different, so everyone's exclusive combat handle is completely different in design.
At this time, after Chutian instantly pressed the substitution button, Pirlo did not pull Fanny, and at the same time, Cannavaro began to step forward to block, in addition to the role of the battle handle "Chiji", there is another factor, that is, the hand speed that we have been emphasizing before, that is, the aps value.
With that out of the way, let's take a look at the game.
Chutian was willing to let Vanney rush into the penalty area with the ball, rather than give Lin Xiao a free kick. Because he knows that even if Ruud van Nistelrooy enters the penalty area, he can completely defuse the opponent's attack with his own defense, but if the opponent is given a free kick, then the situation is difficult to say.
After Vanney rushed all the way into the penalty area, he found that just now Cannavaro stepped forward to block his angle, Maldini and Zambrotta on both sides had also been outflanked, plus Nesta in front of him, and Pirlo, who had been following him closely, this was actually 442's "Silkworm Shield".
"Wow! This is the real 'Silkworm Shield'!"
Su Xiaoyang, who was in the distance, couldn't help but admire.
Chu Xiaoxiao said proudly: "Of course, my brother's 'Heavenly Silkworm Shield' is much stronger than the healthy 'Heavenly Silkworm Shield', right?"
Su Xiaoyang nodded, indeed, the same move, used under Chu Tian's hands, was naturally many times more powerful. Although the five defensive players were also constantly moving under the coordination of the computer, Chu Tian still maintained the formation very well, and even though Lin Xiao attacked the strongman like this, he was suddenly surrounded and unable to do anything.
Guo Jia and Liao Qianhua, who were in the VIP seat in the audience, exchanged glances, and Liao Qianhua asked: "If the captain uses the 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation' at this moment, won't Lin Xiao die?"
Guo Jia did not answer, but looked at the big screen, at this time, the Italian team's defense has indeed formed a "Silkworm Shield" to trap Fanny, and if you want to use the "Silkworm Change" to counterattack, now is the best time.
At the same time, Lotte in the darkness in the distance laughed and said, "It's a pity that Chutian hasn't mastered the 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation' yet, otherwise Lin Xiao would be in danger." ”
Zhou Yunfei said lightly: "You are wrong. If it were me, even if I could use the 'Silkworm Transformation', I would never be able to use it at the moment. ”
"Oh, hehe, why?" asked Lotte with a smile.
"You look at the time, it's already in the first half of injury time, if Chu Tian uses the 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation' at this moment, I estimate that the first half of the game will be over before he passes through the midfield. In this way, doesn't it expose his own miraculous tricks to defeat the enemy?"
Lotte nodded and said, "I didn't expect that this guy Chutian is no less thoughtful than Lin Xiao." So, if Chu Tian really learns the 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation', wouldn't Lin Xiao be defeated in the second half?"
Zhou Yunfei said: "Not necessarily, I was guessing just now, maybe Chu Tian didn't learn the 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation' at all, but Lin Xiao was really scheming, he set up a very hidden trap, but Chu Tian didn't drill into the trap." ”
"Oh, tell me about it!"
"Can't you see that Lin Xiao deliberately let Fanny rush into Chu Tian's encirclement, the purpose is to test whether the other party has learned the 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation', in fact, this opportunity is very good, it is the best time to use the 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation', if Chu Tian uses it, it will just fall into Lin Xiao's hands. I have to say that Lin Xiao is very accurate in the calculation of time, he calculates that even if Chu Tian uses the 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation', he will not be able to pass half the game, but the time left for Chu Tian is a little bit more. ”
"A little more, and why?" asked.
"So I said that Lin Xiao is getting more and more terrifying, this extra little time is actually a temptation for Chu Tian, it is a bait deliberately set by Lin Xiao, Chu Tian has a chance to complete this trick 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation', once Chu Tian can't stand this temptation, he will definitely use it, after all, he has been suppressed by Lin Xiao for so long, waiting for a good opportunity to kill with one blow. ”
Lotte suddenly realized: "I didn't expect there to be so many things in here." ”
Zhou Yunfei sighed: "A person who can still psychologically tempt his opponent during the game, how terrible do you say he is? But unfortunately, I don't know if Chu Tian has never learned that trick 'Heavenly Silkworm Transformation', or if he has already seen through Lin Xiao's trap, Lin Xiao's trick has not achieved any effect." ”
"Hehe," Lotte laughed, "but doesn't that mean that the second half will be more interesting?"
