Fox in the Penalty Area

Li Zhiqun was off the field, and the first team lost a striker.

And Hu Lai has scored two goals, no matter what he scored for, it seems that he should not continue to stay in the left back position.

Unless they really want to lose to the second team led by Luo Kai.

So the first team made a simple personnel adjustment, and Hu Lai, who was originally playing left back, was pushed to the forward line.

He could finally stop wasting energy running back and forth.

But that's why he has defensive players around him.

A tall defender of the second team stood beside Hu Lai, looked down at him, and laughed: "Student, you are so lucky."

This man was really tall, and Hu Lai who was standing beside him had to look up to see his expression. He really wanted to ask how tall the other person was, but first he had to correct the person's wrong perception: "I don't rely on luck, I rely on strength!"

In fact, Hu Lai himself felt that luck was too much, and he caught up with two consecutive back points when no one was marking, but how could he show weakness in front of his opponent? Even if he was really lucky, it must be said to be his hard power.

The big man obviously didn't listen to Hu Lai's explanation, but said with a smile: "But your luck is over, this classmate."

Seeing that he couldn't make sense with this person, Hu Lai rolled his eyes.

※※※

The big guard was right. When he came to mark Hu Lai specifically, Hu Lai's "good luck" was over.

He could indeed run to the spot, but he couldn't hold the ball at all under the close marking of the big man.

Sometimes when he ran into space, his teammates also passed the football, but just when he was about to receive the ball, he was slightly bumped by the opponent, and he lost his balance and lost possession of the ball.

Sometimes he saw an opening and ran over it, but before his teammates passed the football to him, he was blocked by a big man.

"Hey, what's going on?" Song Jiajia in the stands asked Li Qingqing beside her.

Li Qingqing shook his head, and said helplessly: "The two previous goals, Hu Lai's talent really played a role, but it was also because no one cared about him at the time, and no one was dedicated to defending him. It's different now. If someone is following him every step of the way, it will be very difficult for him to get the ball again."

To put it bluntly, the hard power itself is not enough, and the sport of football is not enough to rely on talent alone. The previous targeted special training could only make his coordination slightly better, but it would be too fantastic to expect him to become a qualified player in less than a month...

She turned her eyes to her father worriedly. From her father's point of view, Hu Lai has been beaten back to her original form, right?

※※※

After Li Ziqiang saw Hu Lai's performance, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations.

Because this is what he expected.

To put it bluntly, this kid is useless except for his excellent running ability without the ball. It is God's grace to allow him to miss two goals.

It's still far from a player who meets his requirements.

However, the central defender of the second team is worth paying attention to. He didn't have the idea of ​​underestimating the opponent because the opponent was much weaker than him. He still followed every step of the way. He looks tall, but he is not clumsy, which is especially rare among central defenders.

He remembered that this person was responsible for defending the one who was injured in the first team, and he defended well, basically not allowing the opponent to get any chances. Those two conceded goals had nothing to do with him.

This is also an excellent seedling.

Li Ziqiang found the defender's name in his notebook:

Mao Xiao.

He circled the name, which meant that Mao Xiao had almost been selected for the school team.

Luo Kai is also treated the same as him,

His name was also circled early on - when he scored the third goal.

※※※

When Hu Lai was blocked by Mao Xiao and couldn't even get the ball, Luo Kai scored three more goals for the second team. In this way, he has already scored six goals in this test match for him. One goal, two hat-tricks.

There were thunderous cheers in the stands, and no one was discussing Hu Lai's luck anymore.

After Hu Lai became the focus for a short time, he quickly passed away. The protagonist of this stage is still not him.

"Okay, I scored two goals anyway. I think Hu Lai can rest in peace." Song Jiajia shrugged. Even if he didn't know much about football, he could see that Hu Lai who scored two goals alone was not enough. Impress the coach and be selected for the school team.

Li Qingqing also sighed in her heart.

Hu Lai's ability to score two goals in today's game has actually far exceeded expectations, but there may still be a long way to go before being selected for the school team.

Originally, she trained Hu Lai to let him sharpen his guns before the school team recruited new players, but now she is already considering whether to continue teaching him to play football. She is now 100% sure that Hu Lai is talented, and it is a very powerful talent. All he needs is long-term training.

Li Qingqing wanted to practice for another year, wait until this time next year to recruit new students for the school team, and let Hu Lai participate, the chances of being selected for the school team should increase greatly, right?

She saw Hu Lai acting impatiently on the field. In fact, she could understand Hu Lai's psychological feelings at this moment. She must be very unwilling, right?

Li Qingqing began to seriously consider how to comfort and encourage Hu Lai after the school team's defeat this time, so as to cheer him up again.

※※※

Hu Lai was indeed in a hurry.

Because now there are still about five minutes before the end of the game, but he still only scored two goals, one goal away from completing the task.

Some people may think that it is already great that he scored two goals with shit, but ordinary people might be very happy. Even if he is not selected for the school team, he will comfort himself with "a glorious defeat" or "a proud failure".

But Hu Lai didn't think so.

It is important to be selected for the school team, but now he wants that task reward more.

If he can't complete the hat-trick, then even if he scored two goals before, it is meaningless, it is no different from not scoring one goal.

Just want to complete a hat-trick easier said than done?

The big man is completely attached to him. Under his close defense, he can't even hold the ball. How will he score the third ball?

In fact, it's not that Hu Lai didn't think of a way. He tried various ways to get rid of it. For example, he originally ran in, but suddenly changed his route and ran out, hoping to trick the big man away.

But it had little effect, or no matter how he ran, the big man would appear beside him and use his physical advantage to squeeze him away.

Either he finally succeeded in deceiving the opponent, but the ball from his teammates did not pass.

Opportunities are fleeting, and when they are gone, they are gone.

※※※

The audience also knew that there was not much time left in the game, which meant that they didn't have much time left to watch Luo Kai perform.

Then there was a uniform shout from the stands: "Luo Kai enters one! Luo Kai enters one!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, Luo Kai received the ball from the front of the penalty area of ​​the first team and pulled it horizontally, then kicked and shot.

However, his shot was blocked by the defender of the first team with his body.

Cheers from the stands turned to sighs of regret.

Luo Kai saw the football flying behind him, but he didn't chase after him - he was a striker, defense was not his task, besides the game was almost over, he also wanted to be lazy.

After scoring six goals in a game, he can still enjoy such a privilege, right?

He saw the football fall to the feet of a first-team player. After the man took a few steps, he was spotted by the second-team defenders.

Seeing this scene, Luo Kai decided to stay at the front and wait for his teammates to break the ball before passing the football. If he ran back, wouldn't the second team's offense lose the arrow?

He thought that the first team's attack wouldn't last long.

It really does look like that, the first team player with the ball hastily passed the ball forward in the face of pressure.

The football flew up and flew towards the penalty area of ​​the second team in the form of a high ball.

Although there is a team of players chasing the football in front of it, in the eyes of many people, the attack of the first team ends here.

Because the person who rushed to the front to catch the ball was Hu Lai.

The guy who was good for nothing but bad luck and was beaten back to his original shape in the game just now.

Beside him, the tall defender did not relax at all, and rushed towards the football with him, still inseparable.

Next to this tall figure, Hu Lai looked pitiful and weak. No one believed that he could grab a shot from this excellent central defender.

Moreover, the goalkeeper of the second team came out a little bit to block Hu Lai's possible shooting angle-even if Hu Lai was lucky enough to get a shooting opportunity from the tall defender's defense, there was no shooting angle.

Hu Lai didn't care about it at all—or he didn't care about it at all. He ran to the landing point, and then stretched out his left foot before the defensive player came up, as if trying to stop the football .

Seeing this scene, Li Ziqiang also had to admire Hu Lai's ability to judge where the football will land. He accurately judged where the football will land, which is not as good as that of Mao Xiao.

But just judging where the football will land is not enough.

Mao Xiao didn't lose his position, he was right behind Hu Lai, as long as Hu Lai stopped the football, he could stick it up, without giving Hu Lai any chance to shoot.

As long as a defender can do this, it is enough to be called excellent.

※※※

Li Qingqing in the stands saw that Hu Lai was about to stop the ball, and an idea popped up in her mind uncontrollably—what would I do if I was in his situation?

I can unload the football, and then take advantage of the opportunity to dunk the defender who is rushing up. The opponent must not think of this, and then shoot after shaking him.

But this method seems to be of no use to Hu Lai...

Because Li Qingqing knew that Hu Lai couldn't stop the ball.

The high ball coming from behind is the most difficult to stop, even Li Qingqing can't say that he can stop it 100%, let alone Hu Lai.

Based on her understanding of Hu Lai's level, she thinks it's good if Hu Lai didn't stop the football directly from the bottom line...

If I were Hu Lai, I would shoot directly, get a kick, maybe I would go in?

Thinking of this, Li Qingqing looked at Hu Lai with enthusiasm.

Don't think too much, just shoot, Hu Lai!

She cried out in her heart.

But when she saw Hu Lai's raised toes, she was disappointed—that was a posture to stop the ball, and it was by no means the way to straighten the arch of the feet when shooting directly...

She bit her lower lip tightly, feeling no pain at all.

The football fell, and Hu Lai lifted his left leg up.

The goalkeeper of the second team who came out to block the shooting angle opened his hands and expanded the defense zone.

Just as Li Qingqing expected, the falling football hit the instep of Hu Lai's raised left foot. This unbuffered kick did not stop the football at all, but kicked it back.

When Hu Lai felt the football touch his feet, he knew that he had failed to stop the ball.

Oops……

As soon as such a thought came to his mind, he found that the football suddenly became bigger in his field of vision!

Then his eyes went dark, and gold stars popped out of his sight.

Everything happened between lightning and flint, and he had no time to hide.

The football flew back and hit Hu Lai's face, hitting the bull's-eye!

The force was so great that Hu Lai's whole body fell backwards, and the football flew out in the opposite direction.

If you look carefully, when the football leaves Hu Lai's face, it seems that there is still an unknown liquid splashing out...

The goalkeeper of the second team did not react to all this at all. When the football flew high above his head and fell in a parabola towards the goal behind him, he still maintained the posture of opening his arms to expand the defensive area. Nothing to do with the football directly above him...

Soon the ball was out of sight, falling into the goal behind him like the sun sinking into the sea.

In front of him, Hu Lai had already tilted his body backward and fell to the ground, with red liquid spraying up.

Mao Xiao, who was chasing back, witnessed this strange scene at the closest distance.

The central defender with a stable and excellent performance in this game was at a loss for all this. He could do nothing but watch.

He never expected that this little man's luck would be so strong that he could beat a football in like this!

this! and also! Row? !

When Hu Lai, who was still dark in front of his eyes, fell firmly to the ground, he heard a pleasant voice in his mind:

"The hat-trick has been completed, the task is completed, and the task reward is 3,000 points, a bottle of [Marrow Cleansing Potion], and a [Mysterious Gift Pack]."
