Chapter 54 Mission: Score a Goal
Zhong Shihao, who was replaced by Hu Lai, felt that he was really unlucky.
As the main center of the school team, he is an unstoppable starter. As a senior in high school this year, he has rich experience and has nothing wrong with him except for his weakness in scoring ability. Moreover, today's football system has diversified requirements for centers. Few goals are not really a big problem. After all, there is a strong scoring point like Luo Kai in the team.
As a result, because of a bet between the head coach and the rookie, he was replaced early in this important quarter-final...
There are twenty minutes left in the game, and now he can only sit on the bench as a spectator.
For this reason, he didn't even give Hu Lai a high-five when he came off the field. He just treated Hu Lai like air, walked straight past him, and turned to the bench.
This made Hu Lai, who raised his arm to give him a high-five, a little embarrassed, but Zhong Shihao didn't care. As the main player of the school team, why do you need to save face for a rookie?
Sitting on his chair, he took the towel handed by the substitute for the first year of high school and stared at Hu Lai with unfriendly eyes while wiping his sweat.
This guy looks quite happy...
But everyone knows that this is his first appearance and it will also be his last!
Thinking of this, Zhong Shihao's mood improved slightly.
This poor guy...

The beep of completing the task made Hu Lai suddenly remember that there was a wearable device in his storage space.
So when he ran to the center position, he immediately entered the system space and saw the red bracelet lying quietly inside.
[Lover's Red Rope], slightly improves the wearer's luck, and is only effective in one game.
(It is said that a childhood sweetheart girl carefully knitted it for a boy and has always been worn on the boy's wrist.)
Hu Lai doesn't care about the small words in the following line, what kind of childhood sweetheart, what kind of girl knits for a boy, how can I still be fed dog food with a prop? He blocks automatically.
What he cares more about is the attribute description of this wrist.
Add luck to the game!
When he got this bracelet, Hu Lai didn't know when he would be able to play in the game, so he threw it in the warehouse and almost forgot about it.
And isn't now the opportunity to use this prop?
In fact, he knows that although he has received such an opportunity to play, there is no guarantee that he will continue to receive playing opportunities.
Meng Xi said that this might be his last chance to play, and he agreed.
But his attitude has never changed - having a chance is better than having no chance.
If you never get a chance to play, won't this bracelet always be of use?
Now, at least he can wear this bracelet again to increase his luck in the game.
Although this bracelet does not specify how much luck will be added, but it is better to add it than not, right?
In football matches, luck is an indispensable and important component. How many of those classic goals that have left their mark in football history can be said to have no element of luck?
Thinking of this, he chose to use this bracelet without hesitation.
Then the bracelet appeared in his hand.
This is the first time that he has personally touched the wearable equipment given by the system. It feels exactly like a real bracelet... No, this is a real bracelet!
The thin red threads were intertwined and twisted into a slightly thicker thread. These thick threads were then braided together and finally became a bracelet.
The bracelet was all red and looked very ordinary. It didn't have any special decorations, and it didn't sparkle with any mysterious light in the afternoon sun.
Hu Lai originally thought that this bracelet was just like the [World Wave Experience Card] he used, and it would have an effect after using it, but there was no real thing. Unexpectedly, this bracelet is real, and he needs to put it on himself...
So he pulled the bracelet away, put it on his right wrist, and then tightened it so that it would not slip out easily.
Standing next to him, the No. 3 central defender of Zongbei Middle School saw Hu Lai's actions. He couldn't help but hum: "And tie your hands with a red rope... sissy!"
Hu Lai glanced at the other party: "This is what a girl gave me. Do you have it?"
The other party did not expect Hu Lai to say that. He was stunned for a moment, and then a look of pain appeared on his face. In the end, the pain turned into anger, and his face turned red: "None of your business!"
After scolding him, he thought that the other party would come back, but he didn't expect that the other party would just freeze there, looking like an idiot who was frightened by him.
He lowered his head and looked at the thin little man, with a look of disdain on his face.
He didn't know why the opponent's head coach suddenly replaced him with such a helpless person when the situation was great. It turned out that the center was tall. Although his shooting skills were a bit poor, his body You can still create some trouble for yourself.
As a result, that person has been replaced now. Does this mean that the pressure on himself is much less?
In this way, he may be able to help his teammates. He set his sights on the right wing of his team, where Dongchuan Middle School's Luo Kai was.
This man is a nightmare for their defence.
He has excellent physical fitness and comprehensive skills. Not only can he shoot and score, he can also pass the ball to his teammates. He has no weaknesses.
It is said that as a freshman in high school, Dongchuan Middle School was just lucky enough to find a treasure this time!
The central defender of Zongbei Middle School kept looking at Luo Kai, thinking in his mind, and did not glance at Hu Lai next to him.
What threat can there be to a person who can be frightened by his own words?
※※※
Hu Lai actually entered the system because just now, he heard the sound of the task release.
He now has a new mission.
He complained before that the system was a salty system. He only released a task for more than a month and pretended to be dead the rest of the time.
As a result, the system has gone crazy recently and has been releasing tasks one after another.
"Task: Score a goal in the official game, task reward: points × 1000, upgrade the system."
Hu Lai didn't really care about the reward of a thousand points or something. What stunned him was the reward of this upgrade system.
Upgrade the system?
It turns out that the system can still be upgraded?
After the system upgrade, will there be two more bunny girls next to the lottery wheel?
Hu Lai looks forward to a bright future.
But as for scoring goals...if this game is really his only chance to play, does that mean he must score goals in this game?
Otherwise it will take who knows how long it will take to complete the task.
Goal...
Hu Lai looked around.
He found that the fierce No. 3 central defender did not focus on himself at all, but instead cast his eyes on Luo Kai in the distance.
The biggest threat is right under your nose, but you look far away, who are you looking down on?
Just wait and see!
※※※
Li Qingqing was in the stands and saw Hu Lai running into a gap, but no teammate passed the football to him, but to Luo Kai.
She let out a long sigh: "Alas..."
On the court, after Luo Kai got the ball from the wing, he did not choose to continue playing. Instead, he cut inside, dribbled horizontally, and ran to the middle.
Then he took a long shot, trying to blast away the Brown North Middle School goal, completing his hat trick.
After scoring the second goal, he finally saw Li Qingqing's cheers and smile in the stands, and the flame called "fighting spirit" was burning in his heart.
He wanted to use a hat trick to continue to strengthen his heroic image in Li Qingqing's heart.
Especially when Hu Lai is already on the court and the two are competing on the same stage, isn't it clear at a glance who to choose?
However, his shot failed to threaten Brown North Middle School's goal. The football was blocked by the rushing Brown North Middle School center back No. 3 with his thigh, and the football drew an arc and flew out of the sideline.
Luo Kai's performance before this was very good. He cut inside quickly and decisively when taking the ball. He dribbled horizontally past two defenders of the opponent, but he was blocked by the opponent when he finally shot.
Luo Kai cast his dissatisfied eyes on the thin figure in the penalty area.
Luo Kai is very familiar with this No. 3 central defender. He was responsible for defending Zhong Shihao before, and Zhong Shihao also played a good role in helping him contain the defensive firepower of Brown North Middle School.
As a result, Zhong Shihao had just come off the field, and the central defender who was responsible for defending him rushed to him...
This waste!
Maybe the head coach thinks that leading the opponent 3:0 is a sure win, but Luo Kai is definitely not satisfied with this!
※※※
Zhong Shihao, who was sitting on the bench, was very sorry that Luo Kai's ball was blocked. He slapped his thigh hard, and then complained to his teammates: "Look at this ball! We should have been defending us in the penalty area. The center's No. 3 rushed to the edge of the penalty area to block Luo Kai's shot! He would never have dared to be so unscrupulous before! ”
Anyone who is not stupid can understand this subtext. Doesn't it mean that after he is no longer on the court, Hu Lai, who replaces him, cannot suppress the opponent at all?
Others also felt that what Zhong Shihao said made sense. After all, before Zhong Shihao came off the field, how could the opponent's center back dare to so blatantly leave Dongchuan Middle School's center to attack Luo Kai?
"That's right, I obviously don't take Hu Lai seriously..."
"If I were Hu Lai, I would definitely pull to the side to help Luo Kai create space. But look at him, just standing there in the middle..."
"Hey, are your demands too high? How could he know that he should help his teammates open up space?"
"That's right, blame me. I shouldn't ask him for normal player standards..."
"Hu Lai is really amateur enough. He just knows how to get closer to the goal without considering the tactical requirements at all."
"But just now the opponent's central defender really dared to drop him and come up. You must know that Hu Lai is completely unmarked..."
Hearing these words, Zhong Shihao snorted: "What the hell, does he still want to score a goal?"
"Hey, I heard that Hu Lai blocked a certain goal from Luo Kai in front of the opponent's goal when he played for the first time in their class... So even if the No. 3 went up, there would still be Hu Lai to make up for him. Where is it?”
Cheerful laughter erupted from the bench. With a three-goal lead, they had almost entered the semi-finals of the qualifying round. Everyone was in a good mood and joked about Hu Lai while sitting on the bench.
※※※
"Did you sigh just now because the football was not passed to Hu Lai?" Song Jiajia asked Li Qingqing from the side.
Li Qingqing nodded: "Yeah. Chu Yifan shouldn't pass the football to Luo Kai."
"But don't I think Luo Kai still completed the shot?" Song Jiajia didn't understand football and couldn't see clearly the ways in the ball. He knew that Luo Kai also shot.
"Of course, if you give it to Luo Kai, he will definitely be able to use his personal skills to complete a shot. But if you give it to Hu Lai, he will score." Li Qingqing said with certainty.
Song Jiajia was a little surprised when she heard what Li Qingqing said: "Can't it? He scored just after he came on the field?"
"His position was so good that the opponent No. 3 who was guarding him didn't take him seriously at all..." At this point, Li Qingqing shook her head. She was still feeling pity that Hu Lai missed this opportunity.
"After all, Hu Lai has never trained with the team before, so everyone is not familiar with him..." Song Jiajia comforted.
"No, they don't trust Hu Lai, so when they have the ball, they will give it to Luo Kai first. They don't believe Hu Lai can score."
Song Jiajia stopped talking. There is no solution, right?
※※※
Luo Kai was dissatisfied with Hu Lai's performance, and Hu Lai was also dissatisfied with Luo Kai's performance.
He waved at Luo Kai: "You should have passed the ball to me just now!"
Luo Kai regarded his words as the ravings of a madman, ignored them at all, turned around and ran away.
That's ridiculous. I'm passing the ball to you? Who are you? Why should I pass the ball to you? Don't you know how much you weigh?
Hu Lai was convinced that if Luo Kai had passed the football just now, he would have scored.
Because he was on the line of the goal area, a short distance away from the goal, and still in the center. The shooting angle was almost 180 degrees. There was simply no better shooting opportunity than this.
As a result, Luo Kai chose a long shot and was blocked.
Just like that, an attack ended.
Such a wonderful run of mine was simply wasted!
He bared his teeth at Luo Kai's back and made a mouth shape that said "日". (End of chapter)
