Fox in the Penalty Area

"Qingqing, do you want to go shopping with us later?"

In the locker room, teammates who just finished training extended an invitation to Li Qingqing.

But Li Qingqing had already ran out of the locker room with her bag on her back, leaving only one sentence: "Sorry, everyone. I have something to do, so I have to go first. Next time, next time I will definitely go shopping with you!"

A group of people looked at her back and shook their heads: "What's the matter, so anxious?"

"Hey, maybe you're in a hurry to go on a date with your boyfriend?"

"That's right! With Qingqing's looks, it's strange not to have a boyfriend..."

"I really don't know which lucky boy will be Qingqing's boyfriend?"

In the locker room, a group of women's gossip was blazing.

And Li Qingqing had already run out of the training base, heading towards a bus stop just outside the base.

While running, she also sorted out the headphone cables that she took out from her backpack, untied the knots that she didn't know how to tie up, and then straightened the cables and plugged them into the headphone jack of the mobile phone.

At the same time, he opened a live broadcast app on his mobile phone, found the live broadcast of the National High School Football Championship, clicked on it, and then looked for the match that was being broadcast——Dongchuan Middle School vs. Xizi Middle School.

When she finally ran to the bus station and stopped to wait for the bus, the live broadcast also appeared on the screen of her mobile phone.

The moment the picture appeared, she froze.

Eh?

It was a shot taken from behind the sideline. At the intersection of the center line and the sideline, there were two people standing. One was the fourth official in black referee uniform, and the other with his back to the camera was wearing the yellow and blue color of Dongchuan Middle School. A black jersey with a huge number printed on the back:

14.

At the same time, the voice of the commentator came from the headset: "With 20 minutes left in the game, Dongchuan Middle School made the first personnel adjustment. They used No. 14 player...Hu Lai , replaced the starting center No. 9 Zhong Shihao..."

Hu Lai is going to play? !

"...After taking a three-goal lead, it is obvious that the head coach of Dongchuan Middle School will rotate and let the main players rest..."

Hearing the commentator's words, Li Qingqing noticed that the score of the game broadcast was that Dongchuan Middle School was leading 3:0.

At this time, a bus came into the station. She stared intently at the screen of her mobile phone, and followed the people in front of her to get on the bus. After swiping her card, she found an empty seat at the back of the bus and continued to watch the game.

During the game, Dongchuan Middle School had already completed the substitutions, and Hu Lai ran onto the court.

"By the way, why do we use training time to watch Dongchuan Middle School's games?" In the school's audition classroom, the players of the Jiaxiang High School football team were discussing among themselves while waiting for the audition teacher to adjust the projector.

"Aren't you curious about what performance Dongchuan Middle School, which replaced us in the national competition, can show?"

"Why are you curious? It's not the national competition we went to... I still think of the lost final when I hear the name of Dongchuan Middle School..."

"You can't say that. Everyone is from Anton's high school. Whoever participates in the national competition will represent all the high schools in Anton Province. We still have to cheer for them. After all, if they perform too poorly, they will be ridiculed." It will only be the entire Anton High School football team..."

While speaking, the game broadcast and live sound appeared on the 200-inch big screen.

The audition teacher turned off the lights in the classroom, and the classroom with the closed curtains suddenly became dark, only the fluorescent lights on the big screen.

When the picture became clear, someone exclaimed: "I'm going, isn't this the number 14? He actually appeared?"

"Damn, when I saw the number fourteen, I remembered the captain..."

"Wu Yue, did the captain really go to Shining Star?"

Wu Yue, who was sitting in the front row, nodded: "Well, I'm going to Xingxing. But I still have to come back to take the graduation exam, and I have to get a high school diploma."

"Do you think the captain will watch the game like us?"

"I don't know...well,

Stop arguing, watch the game seriously, you can't even hear what they are talking about! "

The audition classroom fell silent, and the voice of the commentator came out through the speakers located in the four corners of the classroom: "...After leading by three goals, it is obvious that the head coach of Dongchuan Middle School will have a rotation and let the main players take a break ..."

Only then did a group of people realize that the real-time score in the upper right corner of the screen was Dongchuan Middle School leading Xizi Middle School by 3:0.

They looked at each other.

What the hell? Is Dongchuan Middle School so strong? Xizi Middle School, who has never missed a national competition and can play for the first time in the national competition, has no power to fight back?

Although they lost to Dongchuan Middle School in the final of the Anton Cup, but thinking that Dongchuan Middle School is participating in the national competition for the first time, they have no experience, and there may be some players who are nervous... the first match should be the same. It is inseparable from Xizi Middle School.

Why is it so easy for Dongchuan Middle School to take the lead now?

※※※

Wang Guangwei runs on the treadmill, swinging his arms up and down, walking like flying. The speed displayed on the treadmill is fifteen kilometers per hour.

His naked upper body was completely wet with sweat, and his skin was a little darker than before. The sunlight outside the window shone on his body, and the skin covered with a layer of water film had a bright reflection, just like the one just pushed Like oil.

With the swinging arms, sweat was constantly thrown out of the hands, and the ground on both sides of the treadmill had been wetted by the sweat that was thrown out.

His feet staggered heavily on the pedals of the treadmill, making a rhythmic quick muffled sound, like a heavy machine gun firing.

Boom bang bang bang bang...

While running, he held his head up and stared at the training base outside the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him, where there were rows of green trees and green grass.

※※※

Zhong Shihao, who was substituted, returned to the bench after high-fiving Hu Lai. As soon as he sat down, other bench teammates handed him towels and water to wipe his sweat.

He took it and wiped the sweat off his head with a towel, then put the towel around his neck, unscrewed the water bottle, and poured half of it in one gulp.

Only then did he raise his eyes to look at the field.

Hu Lai has already run to the center position.

Standing next to Wang Le, the captain of the opponent.

The bodies of the two people formed a stark contrast, and Hu Lai standing next to that person looked like he came from Lilliputian...

He frowned, a little worried about Hu Lai.

The head coach didn't know what happened when Hu Lai and the other party were in the cafeteria.

Now that Xizi Middle School is behind by a large score, I'm afraid they will lose red eyes. Meeting Hu Lai again under such circumstances...

Zhong Shihao repeatedly looked at the physical gap between Hu Lai and the opponent, and felt that Hu Lai had no chance of winning.

Don't even think about showing anything, just make sure you don't get hurt.

That's why when he handed over to Hu Lai, he reminded him in a low voice to be careful.

He didn't know if Hu Lai had listened to it, but judging by his appearance at the time, it seemed that he couldn't wait to play.

This kid, you must be sober!

※※※

The moment he stepped on the court, Hu Lai received a new task in his mind.

At the time, he was so excited about being able to play at the Nationals that he didn't care what the emotionless voice in his head said.

After he ran to the field, he first went to the captain Chu Yifan, and conveyed the head coach's latest instructions to Chu Yifan: tactical adjustments, not playing according to Zhong Shihao's situation on the field.

Because Hu Lai's technical and tactical characteristics are completely different from Zhong Shihao's, even two extremes-Zhong Shihao likes to stay in the penalty area, stand in a dead position, and use his body to get the ball. And Hu Lai's physical fitness determines that he cannot play like Zhong Shihao, he must run non-stop. So Li Ziqiang asked him to take the initiative to retreat to respond, and at the same time, this can also pull out the opponent's defender and create space.

Now that the center forward's style of play has changed, the tactics of Chu Yifan and the whole team will naturally have to be adjusted accordingly.

This was recorded during training, and it wasn't too much trouble, as long as you told the captain.

After passing the message to Chu Yifan, he ran to the position where the center should be.

Now he is standing next to the person who faced him in the cafeteria that day. This person is actually the captain of Xizi Middle School, with the captain's armband on his arm.

Wang Le looked down at Hu Lai who was standing next to him, because he seemed to have finally found an outlet for his anger as he was on the brink of elimination. He gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you will regret being replaced, kid."

Hu Lai ignored this person, he entered the system space, and the task he sent just now automatically appeared:

"Mission: You have been targeted by the opponent. Facing him who is strong and angry, you need to protect yourself to avoid getting injured in the game. Mission reward: Points x 5000, [Broken Giant Bear Legguards] x 1. "

[Broken Giant Bear Legguards]?

Bear Legguards?

Still damaged?

What the hell is this name?

It looks like a shin guard. What's so special about the shin guard?

Hu Lai thought to himself.

He's stuffed in his socks right now.

As the name suggests, shin guards are equipment used to protect the facing bone of the player's calf, which is to avoid damage to the facing bone of the calf in the event of a collision. After all, this place is often prone to contact during the game.

In high school competitions, shin pads are even mandatory equipment. Before the game, the referee team will specifically check whether the players on the field are wearing shin guards one by one. If not, they will not be able to play.

Before a substitute player enters the field, the fourth official not only checks the player's studs and whether there are any illegal ornaments on the player, but also asks the player to pull down the socks and check the shin guard.

Those experienced players don’t pull the socks to the top at all before going on the court, but roll them around the ankles, exposing the complete shin guards, so that the referee can know the situation at a glance, which is convenient for himself and the referee. The sock will not be pulled up until the referee has checked it.

Seen from the system space, the leg guards are generally white, with a pair of roaring bear heads on them. And the shin guards themselves seem to be severely worn, with obvious scratches on both the edges and the front, especially the scratches on the front look like being scratched by a giant bear...

[Broken Bear Legguards]: After being equipped, it will greatly reduce the chance of the wearer getting injured during the fight. Valid for one match only.

There is also a small line below: It is said that the original owner of this pair of leg guards has not suffered serious injuries throughout his career, and only left those signs of wear on this pair of leg guards.

fuck me? !

Hu Lai was shocked—it turned out to be such a good thing!

Anyone who knows a little bit about football, or even someone who has a basic understanding of sports, knows how much an injury affects a player.

Especially in the age of young players, those talented players that people see in professional football may not even be the strongest in their youth, but they must be the luckiest, because they did not suffer from serious injuries when they were developing physically. Injuries, this is the only way to stand out from your peers and finally enter professional football.

And there are many peers who may be more talented than them, but they have to say goodbye to football due to injuries, or even if they can enter professional football, they are still in the crowd, and their strength and potential are far apart.

Now there is such a thing, as long as it is equipped, there is a very high chance of avoiding injury...

Hu Lai began to seriously think about how to complete this task.

A few seconds later, he flipped his wrist, and a red bracelet appeared in his hand.
