Chapter Seventy-One: Halftime

The autumn wind is whining, and the leaves are fluttering.

The solemn city of Beijing is shrouded in a layer of autumn depression.

In the Famous Sword Pavilion of the mountain villa, the third round of the famous sword martial arts competition is being held at this time. As the game progresses, more and more players are eliminated, and at the same time, more and more spectators watch the game.

After entering the sixteen-in-eight competition, almost every player is the leader of the post-433 generation, so every game is a fierce collision like Mars hitting the earth, and whoever can win can go further.

At this time, there were also a lot of people in the No. 3 training ground, and the competition here was Su Xiaoyang, the biggest dark horse of this famous sword meeting, and the 433 Strange Jie Plateau.

The reason why Gao Yuan is a strange hero is because this person is really talented, but at the same time he also has a flaw that can be fatal, that is, this person is only good at attacking from left to right, and once the direction changes, he will immediately fall into trouble.

Jiang Hai once said that if calculated according to the strength of the plateau half, he is definitely at the same level as Xia Lingchong and Qi Minghao, but his only weakness makes him have to be second-rate in 433.

Even so, it was not an easy thing for Su Xiaoyang to defeat Gao Yuan.

Strange Jie meets dark horse, this is really an interesting battle.

At this time, the game had just begun, and both sides were waiting for each other, and Su Xiaoyang did not dare to be careless, because his opponent Gao Yuan attacked from left to right in the first half.

For both sides, the purpose of this first half should be very clear, Gao Yuan's purpose is to score more goals to establish his advantage, while Su Xiaoyang's purpose is to concede as few goals as possible so that he can counterattack in the second half.

Almost everyone agreed that the first half of this game must have been a plateau attack, and Su Xiaoyang insisted on it. But after the opening whistle sounded, Su Xiaoyang surprised everyone and chose to attack against attack.

It is said that when the two armies meet, the brave wins, but militarily, when the two armies meet, the unexpected side is often more able to grasp the initiative of the battle situation.

When everyone thought that Su Xiaoyang was going to use the iron bucket array to resist the opponent, he did the opposite and went against the current.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, we prefer to go to the tiger mountains! This is a kind of fearless spirit that only the strong can embody.

The current Su Xiaoyang is still far from a strong man, but it is undeniable that he is slowly having all the factors that a strong man needs.

Even he didn't seem to be aware of it.

At this time, Su Xiaoyang and his Chinese team were a little overwhelmed in the face of the aggressive "forced" people on the plateau. For a long time, in the *** base of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, in the 433 team full of talents, when he attacked from left to right, even Xia Lingchong and Qi Minghao had to defend and counterattack steadily, and this rookie who had only been in the team for a few months would not be able to attack him with his strength.

In fact, where would he know that the "rookie" in front of him had faced Hua Manlou, the number one offensive madman in China, and the plateau was really a drop in the ocean compared to Hua Manlou.

......

"Su Xiaoyang's progress is indeed beyond my expectations. ”

At this time, in the central control room of the Famous Sword Pavilion, Lin Xiao and Jiang Hai were observing Su Xiaoyang's game screen through electronic monitoring equipment, and every move of both sides of the game appeared clearly on the big screen.

"Indeed, compared with the last competition between the novice hall and Xia Lingchong, the current Su Xiaoyang has indeed made a lot of progress. Jiang Hai nodded.

Lin Xiao stared at the big screen, as if thinking about something, and after a long time, he asked suspiciously: "Su Xiaoyang's path is very strange, and the technical and tactical playing styles of each team can almost be reflected in him. ”

Jiang Hai guessed: "This may be related to the fact that he has been training in the sparring hall recently." ”

Lin Xiao nodded lightly, and then asked, "Ah Hai, do you guess Su Xiaoyang will win this game?"

Jiang Haidao: "It's hard to say, you and I both know the strength of the plateau half, and besides, Su Xiaoyang used the Chinese team to fight against Spain on the plateau, which is really a bit ...... It's too risky. ”

Lin Xiao said: "My opinion is the opposite of yours, you carefully observe Su Xiaoyang's expression and his eyes when he is playing, don't you find that he is very similar to a person?"

Jiang Hai looked at the big screen carefully, and then asked thoughtfully, "You mean...... Zhou Yunfei?"

......

Before you know it, fifteen minutes have passed in the first half. Gao Yuan has calmed down from the accident and panic at the beginning, and as the battle continues to deepen, Gao Yuan has gradually grasped the initiative of the game.

Although Su Xiaoyang used an unexpected attack to "disrupt" the rhythm of the game on the plateau, he was not able to last long. Fifteen minutes later, the battle situation began to become more and more unfavorable for Su Xiaoyang.

Spain, with its skilful ground coordination, constantly tore apart the Chinese team's defense. The pressure on the defensive line formed by Li Weifeng and Feng Xiaoting is increasing.

Soon, the first goal was conceded.

Joaquín's breakthrough on the flank was unguardable, and Sun Xiang, the left wing-back of the Chinese team, was easily shaken over. At this time, the Chinese team's penalty area had already hoarded world-class killers such as Torres and Villa, but Su Xiaoyang did not panic, but methodically dispatched personnel to defend the high points in the penalty area.

However, to everyone's surprise, Joaquin did not choose to pass the ball after cutting inside, but directly used his left foot to make an arc, and the ball flew into the near corner with a whistle, and the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Wang Dalei, did not even react at all.

In the central control room, Lin Xiao and Jiang Hai were still paying attention to this game.

Jiang Hai sighed and said, "Now that the game has really entered the rhythm of the plateau, Su Xiaoyang is a little dangerous." ”

Lin Xiao smiled slightly: "You pay attention to Su Xiaoyang's eyes, this missed goal doesn't seem to bring him any emotional ups and downs. ”

Jiang Hai nodded and said, "Indeed, he has a kind of composure that ordinary people don't have. ”

Lin Xiao said: "Hehe, I'm afraid it's more than that, he seems to expect that the other party will definitely score goals during this time period, so he didn't have any panic." ”

Jiang Hai said thoughtfully: "What do you mean......"

Lin Xiao refocused his attention on Su Xiaoyang on the big screen, and said meaningfully: "That's right, the opening attack was just to bluff to delay time, he knew that he had no way to gain the upper hand in the offense, so he chose to be surprised, and in the opening fifteen minutes, Gao Yuan was indeed affected, resulting in a chaotic and disorganized attack." ”

Jiang Hai nodded and said: "I see, and Su Xiaoyang has long known that he may not be able to resist for a long time, and when the other party stabilizes his position, he will carry out a crazy counterattack." ”

Lin Xiao said: "However, although Su Xiaoyang conceded the goal, his tactics were successful. His opening offense made Gao Yuan do nothing in the first fifteen minutes, and fifteen minutes, this was Su Xiaoyang's goal. ”

Jiang Hai was relieved: "So, Su Xiaoyang won this game?"

Lin Xiao didn't answer him, but said to himself: "Zhou Yunfei, you really didn't see the wrong person!"

......

In the No. 3 training ground, the fierce battle between Su Xiaoyang and Gao Yuan continued, Gao Yuan's strength was indeed higher than Su Xiaoyang, his Spanish team "forced" Su Xiaoyang's Chinese team to be "chaotic", and in the forty-five minutes of the first half, Gao Yuan also took a three-goal lead.

At halftime, everyone thought that Su Xiaoyang's dark horse journey was over, but Gao Yuan didn't dare to be careless, he frowned and stared at the screen. In fact, the process of this game was not as easy as the score showed, Gao Yuan had 64% possession in the entire first half, and the "shots" were as high as 20 times, but the really threatening "shots" were only eight, that is, the remaining 12 "shots" had been defused by Su Xiaoyang's back line before threatening the goalkeeper.

And only three of the eight threatening shots were converted into goals, and the remaining five were all defused.

Many people may say that three goals in eight "shots" on goal is not inefficient. But what everyone needs to see is that Su Xiaoyang is using the Chinese team to resist the opponent's Spanish team.

Rookie against experts, the weak Chinese team's backline is facing a world-class Spanish attacking group.

Almost all the onlookers of the 433 team thought that Su Xiaoyang was lacking in skills, because in their opinion, even if the strength of Gao Yuan's attack from left to right in the second half was greatly reduced, with the strength of Su Xiaoyang's Chinese team, it would be difficult to take advantage of the Spanish team.

Only Gao Yuan, Su Xiaoyang's opponent at this moment, deeply felt the invisible pressure from the other party. Unhurried, unhurried, that is a kind of king's calm and relaxed, that is a kind of strong man's calmness.

The game will never stop, the battle will not stop! Before the final whistle blows, the laggard will never give up, and the leader will never underestimate the enemy! This is the spirit of football.

But it is clear that none of the surrounding 433 players have been able to realize this. Of course, this also explains from one side why they can only appear here as bystanders at this moment, while Gao Yuan and Su Xiaoyang are still standing on the stage of famous swords and martial arts.

After falling behind by three goals at halftime, Su Xiaoyang took a deep breath, and for him, it was a real gamble. Because once the opening offense against offense doesn't work, it will immediately put itself to death. But fortunately, Su Xiaoyang did not lose the game, he successfully contained the opponent's attack in the first fifteen minutes, and laid a good foundation for his counterattack in the second half.

"The real focus of this game is in the second half!"

This is what Lin Xiao said to Jiang Hai in the central control room. He and Jiang Hai wanted to know if Su Xiaoyang could complete the reversal and how to complete the reversal.

In Lin Xiao's opinion, for Su Xiaoyang, the first half was just a warm-up, and the real game had just started in the second half.
