Chapter 3: Duel

The exciting moment has finally arrived!

The golden championship trophy is placed on a T-shaped display case in the middle of the stage, and the somewhat dimly lit stage exudes a moving kingly spirit.

The moment the trophy slowly rose from the middle of the stage, the originally noisy No. 1 hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared intently at the trophy that symbolized the identity of the strongest live in China, and everyone's eyes showed envy, which is what many live players in China dream of having!

"It's so beautiful!" Su Xiaoyang in the audience couldn't help but exclaim.

Xie Hongyu glanced at him and said to himself: "In the future, I must get this trophy!"

The host briefly reported the curtain and began to introduce the two sides of the final.

"Player1: Lin Xiao from the 433 team has won all the previous 6 games, scoring 32 goals and conceding 8 goals, which is the player with the most goals in this live competition.

Player2: Chutian from Team 442 also won all of his previous 6 games, scoring 18 goals and conceding 2 goals, which is the player who conceded the fewest goals in this live competition. ”

Whenever the host announces a name, the audience always screams and applauds, after all, these two people represent the top level of live performance in China today, one is the king of offense, representing passion, and the other is the master of defense, representing stability. Now these two top masters will meet in the finals, which is not only a long-awaited return, but also a rare visual feast.

The first to appear on the stage was Lin Xiao, the captain of 433 who was not tall, wearing black-framed glasses, and had a scholarly style, although he looked gentle and elegant, but who would have thought that this young man with a superficial appearance would be the top master with the most offensive strength in the country.

Followed by the burly figure, thick eyebrows, big eyes, rugged face of the 442 captain Chu Tian, his defense is recognized as the first in the country, this live competition only conceded two goals, one of which was an own goal that he accidentally scored, and the other goal was scored by 433 Jiang Hai in the quarterfinals.

Being able to break through Chu Tian's goal, which has the strongest defense, naturally has good strength in attack, but Jiang Hai can't figure it out anyway, and he can't even break through Su Xiaoyang's goal with all his might, which is really evil.

The final was about to start, and at this time, Xie Hongyu inadvertently saw the members of the 433 team sitting in the first row, seven or eight people away from him. He almost immediately recognized the white-clothed beauty who eliminated him in the quarterfinals, the cold Liu Bingbing.

Although it was just a shadow, Xie Hongyu's gaze seemed to be firmly attracted, and he couldn't move half a minute away. Did that beautiful girl ever think that in this much-anticipated final, there was a person who looked at her stupidly, enthusiastic and unrestrained.

"What do you want, the game is on!" Su Xiaoyang next to him reminded him.

Xie Hongyu reluctantly withdrew his gaze and began to watch the game, but the restlessness in his heart never stopped for a moment.

As soon as this battle at the level of Tianwang Mountain began, the two sides immediately launched a fierce battle.

Lin Xiao's Dutch team has practiced to the point of being a ghost, and several frontcourt players skillfully carry out short pass cooperation, patiently looking for the opponent's vacancy.

But Chutian's Italian team is not in vain, with 4 defenders and 2 backs, no matter how much Lin Xiao dispatches, it is to keep it tight.

In the eighth minute, Lin Xiao deliberately made a false two-by-one, luring the opponent's Maldini out, and then a straight stopper, passed to Robben who went straight into the penalty area, but he didn't expect that Chutian also deliberately let Maldini out, in order to let the opponent go straight. So when Robben was about to catch the ball, Italy's Nesta happened to be in front of him to stop the ball, and then launched a counterattack.

Although Chutian is famous for his defense, he also played a quick counterattack, Totti continued to dribble the ball in the middle, and Lin Xiao's Davis tackled twice and unexpectedly empty.

Chutian's Totti fed the ball to Cassano on the side, who led all the way, Lin Xiao's Dutch team did not come forward to intercept, and only mobilized defenders to tackle when Cassano was about to rush to the bottom line, but Cassano shrewdly dunked the ball and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area, and the follow-up Totti was about to volley, but Lin Xiao's Seedorf suddenly stretched out a kick and poked the ball to Van Persie, who had been waiting for a long time. After Van Persie got the ball, he quickly launched a counterattack, and Chu Tian seemed to have expected it, and the four defenders lined up the defensive formation early and prepared for it.

Just now, Lin Xiao had obviously studied Chu Tian's offensive path, deliberately lured the snake out of the hole after losing the ball in the front court, and then deliberately let Cassano cross the bottom, and he took the opportunity to grab the ball and launched a quick counterattack, in order to take advantage of the chaos to rob, but Chu Tian seemed to have been prepared, and the defense was unmoved, causing Lin Xiao's plan to fail.

This series of actions should have taken place in a very short period of time, but it contained the battle of wits and courage of the two sides, and the display of technology and strategy was incisive, which deserved to be the pinnacle of a dragon and tiger fight.

Of course, most of the players present only saw the wonderful offensive and defensive scenes, and only a few could see that the two sides were still engaged in a more thrilling psychological dark war behind the fierce battle.

"It's amazing!" Xie Hongyu couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, it's really amazing!" Su Xiaoyang also exclaimed, but his admiration was mostly from the praise of this wonderful scene, as for the deeper things, it was naturally incomprehensible with his current cultivation.

It was a fifteen-minute game in which the two sides went back and forth, and soon the whistle blew for the end of the first half.

The two protagonists, Lin Xiao and Chu Tian, both retreated from both sides of the stage to rest behind the scenes, and the wonderful video of the first half began to be played back on the big screen, and everyone continued to be immersed in the high-paced offensive and defensive transitions, only Xie Hongyu quietly looked sideways in the other direction.

But this glance made his eyes fall short, and the beautiful shadow just now was no longer there.

Xie Hongyu thought that he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, it was still the same, not only Liu Bingbing, but also the other members of 433 were no longer in the seat, so they must have gone backstage to discuss countermeasures with the captain.

"What are you looking for?" Su Xiaoyang couldn't help but ask when he looked at him with a distracted look.

Xie Hongyu came back to his senses, looked at Su Xiaoyang with his eyes, but said as if talking to himself: "I must enter 433!"

Su Xiaoyang's heart beat faster, before the final, the man in sunglasses promised to help him enter 433, he believed that with Xie Hongyu's strength, there must be no problem, friends gather together in 433, what an exciting thing! He couldn't help but want to say this, but when he thought of the man in sunglasses who had promised him, he had to swallow back what he was about to say.

Xie Hongyu naturally couldn't guess the ups and downs in Su Xiaoyang's heart, and his mind was all on Liu Bingbing, who had never said a word to him from beginning to end.

After about ten minutes, the host announced the entry into the second half.

The two protagonists appeared one after another, which attracted applause.

With the start of the second half, Liu Bingbing also returned to his seat. Xie Hongyu looked over affectionately, but he didn't expect Liu Bingbing's gaze to come over just right, Xie Hongyu suddenly felt that his face was red, but Liu Bingbing just glanced at him, and his face was still as cold as ice.

However, this short look has oppressed Xie Hongyu a little breathless, and the glance from his sweetheart, although it was unintentional, was enough to make him excited for a long time.

In fact, how would he know that just now, in the background, in addition to discussing the way to defeat Chu Tian, the 433s were discussing how to net Xie Hongyu to their subordinates as soon as possible after the game. Liu Bingbing's glimpse was not unintentional, but it was limited to focusing on a person who was about to become his teammate.

The second half continued the excitement of the first half, but as the man in sunglasses had expected, Lin Xiao, who had been unable to attack for a long time, began to become increasingly impatient. Although his offensive is fierce, his scheming is already chaotic. In addition to launching an attack mechanically, he no longer had time to set up traps, and it was even more impossible to discern the traps set by Chu Tian.

Several times, the impatient Lin Xiao almost fell into the scheme, and it was only by relying on his extraordinary reaction and rich experience that he barely managed to maintain a draw. Although Lin Xiao already had the advantage on the scene, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Xiao's situation was already quite dangerous.

Chu Tian also saw this, and began to gradually organize counterattacks, and the counterattacks were more threatening than the last, and once, Inzaghi's header was about to go high over the crossbar, almost knocking on Lin Xiao's door.

Time is getting less and less, and Lin Xiao's mistakes are getting more and more. It is advisable to chase after the poor man bravely, Chu Tian shook his spirits, and was ready to pour out of the nest to give the other party a fatal blow.

Perhaps, personal glory and 442's reputation are all seen by this final blow, Chu Tian's originally calm heart suddenly has some indescribable passion, the opponent is already in a hurry, as long as he seizes the opportunity to give him a fatal blow, then the attractive championship trophy behind him is his own, and the name of the first in the country belongs to himself!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and attacked, and at the same time, a trace of imperceptible cunning flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.

The defense line that had been as steady as a rock finally loosened because of Chu Tian's carelessness, but Lin Xiao, who had been making mistakes, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and a scalpel-like and accurate straight plug allowed the ball with the Spitfire Meteor to pass through between Nesta and Cannavaro, who were advancing with the whole team, and then saw Fanny's strange figure quickly follow, single-handed!

The audience couldn't help but stand up.

Chu Tian knew the plan, and turned around in anger to chase after him, but he was obviously unable to do it, and as a last resort, Cannavaro tackled Vanney in the penalty area!

Penalty kick!

It's a last resort!

The game is coming to an end, and Lin Xiao is the king when he scores this penalty, but if he misses a penalty, the game will go into overtime, and Chutian, who has suffered a loss, will definitely be more careful, and it will be even more difficult to win when the time comes!

So at this moment, Chu Tian was nervous, but Lin Xiao was even more nervous!

The trophy is just a stone's throw away, and the line between heaven and hell is so clear!

Everyone stared at the screen with bated breath......

On the screen, Ruud van Nistelrooy stepped up to the penalty spot......

Beads of sweat oozed from Chu Tian's forehead, and he was trying to guess the angle of the opponent's free throw......

Whistle, Run, Shot......

The ball hung straight into the corner like a cannonball, Italy's goalkeeper Buffon made an unsuccessful side pounce and fell to the ground, and with him fell, there was Chutian's heart!

1:0!

It's over!

The audience is boiling!

Those 433 fans screamed, Lin Xiao's last-minute goal made him sublimate into a god-like existence, and the hat of the first person in the national live broadcast was finally put on his head.

He walked up to Chu Tian, whose face was like ashes, and said with a smile: "You are finally fooled." ”

Chu Tian didn't speak, even what he said, he was already drowned out by everyone's voices. The host announced in a very sensational way that the champion of the 5th National Pro Evolution Football Competition was Lin Xiao.

The 433 fans in the audience began to chant the name of "Lin Xiao", and a few 442 fans who were interested in the mood were quickly drowned out with a few curses.

"Really...... It's really amazing......" Su Xiaoyang couldn't help but exclaim.

Xie Hongyu did not respond to him, but silently stared at the beautiful shadow. Lin Xiao won the championship, all the 433 members came to the stage to high-five each other, Liu Bingbing seemed so different among everyone, like a fairy in the world, standing quietly, but her face, which had been as cold as ice, also brought a few heartfelt smiles at this time.

"It's so beautiful!" Xie Hongyu couldn't help but blurt out.

"What?" asked Su Xiaoyang.

"Oh...... Not...... It's nothing, I said that trophy, it's so beautiful!" Xie Hongyu hurriedly covered up his gaffe.

After the award ceremony, Lin Xiao and the host whispered for a while. The host nodded, and then announced: "Good news for everyone! Team 433 only recruits one new player every year, and today, here, 433 has decided to recruit a new person to join the team!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and I don't know which young talent will be favored by 433.

Xie Hongyu was so nervous that he could hear his heartbeat, and he vaguely felt that all the members of 433 on the stage were looking at him, except for the arrogant and beautiful woman......

Su Xiaoyang also fell into doubts, the man in sunglasses said that after the final, let him take the handle to find Lin Xiao, and he could join 433, but now the newcomer in the mouth of the host on the stage must not be himself, which made him suddenly feel uneasy in his heart. He vaguely felt that the opportunity that was already close to him was about to slip away again, and for a while, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and all kinds of situations that were not valued in the past surfaced one by one, and his heart gradually became restless.

"This lucky player also showed good strength in this national competition......" The host deliberately sold Guanzi.

But every time the host said a word, Xie Hongyu felt that the thing he dreamed of was one step closer to him, on the contrary, Su Xiaoyang felt that the thing he had been holding tightly in his hand had begun to get farther and farther away from him.

"He gave us a lot of surprises and expectations as a non-professional gamer!"

Xie Hongyu felt a huge sense of happiness suddenly fall on him, as if the focus of the audience is no longer Lin Xiao who won the trophy, but himself, the college student Xie Hongyu who has practiced hard for N years for this day and has borne countless scoldings!

At the same time, Su Xiaoyang's psychological defense line collapsed further, originally if there was no appearance of the man in sunglasses, everything would have been logical, Xie Hongyu entered 433 as he wished, and Su Xiaoyang was happy for the success of his friend. But the man in sunglasses changed everything, his appearance aroused Su Xiaoyang's inner desire, so that now the two friends have become competitors.

Xie Hongyu naturally didn't know that Su Xiaoyang's heart was tormented at the moment, he excitedly grabbed Xiaoyang's hand and said excitedly: "It's me!"

Xiaoyang wanted to give him a smile back, but he found that he couldn't do it, he pouted, didn't know what to say, and his face was blue and white.

In fact, there is no need for the host to announce it, everyone knows that this national competition gave birth to a genius named Xie Hongyu!

There was applause all around, as if witnessing the birth of the next legend.

Finally, all the efforts, struggles, and struggles have a good ending, and finally, the grievances and tears, bitterness and pain of the past have become happy sacrifices because of this moment.

Xie Hongyu took a deep breath and walked towards 433 on the stage and the beautiful woman hidden deep in his heart. He has been walking this road for a long time, and now the end is in front of him, only one step away from him.

Just as the cheers were about to stop, a voice suddenly came faintly. Quiet, with some grievances, powerless but don't want to give up:

"Wait...... Wait a minute...... I would also like to join...... 433!”

......
