Fox in the Penalty Area

Luo Kai's goal allowed Dongchuan Middle School to regain a victory, and the score changed from 0:2 to 1:2, which gave the team hope.

However, Luo Kai's goal also made Li Ziqiang give up his plan to replace Hu Lai in the first half.

So Hu Lai was called back from the warm-up area again, and sat back on the bench a little depressed, waiting for the chance to play again who didn't know when.

In fact, not long after Luo Kai scored, the first half ended.

Even if Hu Lai is allowed to play, he probably won't even get the ball, so he has to go to the locker room to rest.

Luo Kai's goal before the end of the first half boosted the morale of the players of Dongchuan Middle School. When they left the field, their expressions were much more relaxed. They were talking and laughing, as if they were full of confidence in the reversal in the second half.

However, the players from Huitang Middle School, who were clearly leading, lowered their heads, walked off the court in a hurry, and went straight to the locker room. They all know how the head coach will deal with them in the locker room...

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the locker room, the head coach of Huitang Middle School, Lu Jianbai, yelled: "What kind of shit did you play in the first half! Ah? It's the same old problem again, isn't it?! Take a two-goal lead and relax Alright! What happened to the last goal lost?!"

They were clearly in the lead, but the Huitang Middle School players lowered their heads under the scolding of their head coach, not daring to look at the head coach.

Even Wang Chaolin and Ke Yan, two players who performed well in the first half of the game, were no exception.

"He raised his hand to ask for the ball, why didn't he post it immediately? Give him a chance to get rid of the ball?! The opponent is too powerful, so you can't stop it? No! You are too lax! Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the chance to play the ball! Let me tell you, because of your negligence, Huitang Middle School has been nailed to the pillar of shame in the national competition!"

"Think I'm exaggerating? No! It's not exaggerating at all! Their goal will definitely be replayed again and again, and every time it is replayed, everyone will see that Huitang Middle School has become The background foil of this ball! In the second half, strengthen my defense against that Luo Kai! Make sure there are people around him at all times!"

After entering the locker room, Li Ziqiang said to the players with a straight face: "Looking at your expressions, I thought you were already ahead. Don't forget, we are one goal behind, not the opponent. The problem has not been resolved. Solve, this goal is just a manifestation of Luo Kai's personal ability. If you still face the game with this mentality in the second half, you will still concede the goal!"

After he said this, the relaxed expressions on everyone's faces disappeared.

At this time, Li Ziqiang called Hu Lai's name: "You will play at the beginning of the second half."

Although Luo Kai had already scored a goal for the team, he still decided to play Hu Lai.

As he said just now, Luo Kai's goals are entirely due to his super personal ability, this style of play cannot last long, if the opponent restrains Luo Kai again, Luo Kai will misfire. You can't always expect people to explode seeds again and again, and then hit the world wave, right?

"Okay!" Hu Lai happily agreed.

What does it mean that he can play?

It shows that the head coach believes that relying on Luo Kai can no longer solve the opponent, so he has to let himself play.

What is the killer feature?

This is!

He also cast a provocative look at Luo Kai, staring at Luo Kai with his mouth curled up.

Luo Kai seemed to have something to say when the head coach made the arrangements, but in the end he remained silent and didn't say anything. Of course, he also automatically blocked Hu Lai's provocative eyes.

"Chu Yifan, you retreat to the defensive midfielder position, Luo Kai, you go to connect the midfielder, Tang Yuan and Hu Lai will play forward together..." After making substitutions and adjustments, Li Ziqiang began to arrange specific tactics.

Li Qingqing sat cross-legged on the bed in the rental house, facing the TV hanging on the wall.

It's halftime, and commercials are playing on the TV.

She lowered her head and swiped her phone. The community was discussing Luo Kai's goal.

Luo Kai's goal was indeed beautiful, and Li Qingqing couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw it.

But the emotions passed quickly, and what she was thinking about now was when did her father plan to let Hu Lai play...

She frowned and carefully analyzed the game form. Although Luo Kai scored a goal, it didn't help, and the team was still one goal behind.

Moreover, Luo Kai's ball has a strong sense of personal heroism, which is almost impossible to replicate. Therefore, in the second half, we must enrich the means of scoring.

It's time for Hu Lai to play...

The advertisement on the TV screen ended, and it switched back to the live game signal.

Then she saw a figure standing on the sidelines.

Number fourteen!

Holly!

Sure enough, she guessed that Hu Lai was going to play!

"Yeah!" She lay down on the bed excitedly, her two slender and powerful legs kicking vigorously towards the ceiling.

Then she jumped up quickly and continued to sit cross-legged on the bed, staring at the TV screen.

The commentator on the TV was saying: "...Dongchuan Middle School took the lead in making substitutions. They replaced No. 9 starting center Zhong Shihao with No. 14 player Hu Lai at the beginning of the second half..."

※※※

"...This is a match-up substitution. Hu Lai also came off the bench in the last game against Xizi Middle School, and then scored a goal and an assist-making a penalty kick is also an assist..."

In the audio-visual classroom of Jiaxiang High School, when everyone saw that Hu Lai was about to appear, they all shouted, "Damn it, this kid is here again!"

"Why do I feel that this has become a routine in Dongchuan Middle School?"

"Hey, tell me, will he give someone another yellow card after he comes on the field?"

"Then you can also guess who he will chat with after he comes on stage..."

Feng Yuanchang, who was sitting in the last row of the audio-visual classroom, didn't care what his players were talking about.

He stared at the back of Hu Lai on the screen, and the number fourteen on the jersey was very eye-catching.

In every game, Li Ziqiang arranged for No. 14 to play, which was definitely not a random substitution arrangement.

This fully shows that in Li Ziqiang's heart, the position of No. 14 is very important.

He remembered what Li Ziqiang had said about the origin of the number fourteen.

He didn't doubt Li Ziqiang's words.

That No. 14 was indeed a novice, but he was also a novice that Li Ziqiang valued very much.

Otherwise, there are so many people in the team, why can this number 14 get a regular chance to come off the bench?

Of course, No. 14's performance did not live up to Li Ziqiang's expectations. Every time he came off the bench, he scored goals. It's very, very difficult as a substitute.

Feng Yuanchang was thinking that number 14 should be included in the key observation list of Jiaxiang High School.

If nothing goes wrong for Hu, by the time No. 14 is a sophomore in high school, he will no longer be the super substitute of Dongchuan Middle School.

In the process of competing with Jiaxiang High School for the right to qualify for the national competition, he will become an important winner.

※※※

After Hu Lai ran onto the field, the emotionless voice in his head didn't sound, which meant that the system didn't issue any tasks for this game.

What the hell!

This is the fourth place in the last national competition, is it so unrecognizable?

Not even worthy of having a mission?

Hu Lai also thought that he could accumulate his own points by completing tasks, so that he could use them to buy [Lover's Red Rope]. He really likes this thing now. If he didn't have this bracelet in the last match, he might have been kicked in the face by Wang Le.

He only has 7,200 points in his hand now, not enough to buy a bracelet. [Physical Potion] The six bottles have never been used. The last game was played for only 20 minutes, and the physical exertion has not been so great that he needs to drink [Physical Potion] to recover.

As for the [broken giant bear leg guard], Hu Lai felt that it was completely useless in this game, and it was a waste to take it out.

※※※

After the start of the second half of the game, Luo Kai did receive the focus and attention of Huitang Middle School. He would always be accompanied by a player from Huitang Middle School. If a football was passed to him, another player from Huitang Middle School Players will also jump right away.

It can be seen that the players of Huitang Middle School will never allow Luo Kai to repeat the goal of the first half again.

Compared with Luo Kai, Hu Lai's defense was much easier and normal.

Unless he is close to the goal, no one will come up to guard him.

Although he scored a goal in the last game against Xizi Middle School, he did not attract special attention from Huitang Middle School.

After all, it was Tang Yuan who scored the goal in the last game. You can see that no one cares about this at all... Everyone only remembers that Luo Kai completed his senior year.

※※※

"...Dongchuan Middle School seemed to have made some adjustments in the second half. Luo Kai moved from the left side to the middle, and his position was slightly retreated. It looked like a midfielder... The coach of Dongchuan Middle School may want to help Luo Kai got rid of the opponent's close marking, but this also caused Luo Kai to stay away from the goal. It is difficult for Luo Kai to create a threat..."

Li Qingqing in front of the TV didn't care when she heard what the commentator said, with an expectant smile on her face.

She was thinking that it must be that her father had seriously considered her suggestion, so that Hu Lai and Luo Kai could be paired together. Combining Luo Kai's ability with the ball and Hu Lai's ability without the ball, Dongchuan Middle School's offensive threat would definitely be greater. increase.

That Huitang Middle School has dual-core midfielders, and our Dongchuan Middle School also has double-core strikers!

※※※

After seeing the Chu team pass the football to Luo Kai, Hu Lai started to run. But when he ran to the empty space, the football failed to pass, because Luo Kai was surrounded by the opponent, so he could only pass the football back——When Huitang Middle School defended Luo Kai, it only prevented him from going forward , don't prevent him from going backwards, if he wants to turn around and take the ball back or pass the ball, then let him.

By doing this, the defensive force can be concentrated and focused on defense, and the defensive force in the front and rear directions will not be insufficient because of the blocking of the front and rear. Instead, it will give Luo Kai the opportunity.

After Luo Kai passed the ball back, Dongchuan Middle School's offense had to be reorganized.

Hu Lai yelled at his roommate: "Can you do it!"

Luo Kai ignored him.

On the contrary, the guard of the nearby Huitang Middle School glanced at Hu Lai with a strange look, wondering if there was any conflict between these two people?

If Dongchuan Middle School starts to fight among themselves, this is their opportunity for Huitang Middle School...

※※※

Dongchuan Middle School reorganized the offense and played up. After receiving the ball, Luo Kai used his own skills to temporarily get rid of the defenders. After seeing Hu Lai's movement, he passed the football over.

After Hu Lai received a pass from Luo Kai on the line of the penalty area, he originally wanted to shoot from an angle, but he was hit by the opponent's defender with his body, shot in a hurry, and directly hit the football high...

"Can you do it?" It was Luo Kai's turn to mock Hu Lai this time.

Hearing this sentence, the defender of Huitang Middle School, who had just successfully defended against Hu Lai just now, shifted his gaze back and forth between Hu Lai and Luo Kai, and his expression gradually became delighted—it was really a blatant infighting!

He suddenly felt that his next game might be relatively easy...
