Chapter 142 Sliding and kneeling
When Hu Lai turned around and ran towards the penalty area, the boos in the stands started, even though Hu Lai had not got the ball at that time. Jiaxiang High School fans just saw their team could be in danger.
But thinking about it now, they were like a prophet, knowing that the person they hated the most would become the key figure to dominate this offense, so they booed and feared in advance.
When Hulay shot, the boos reached their peak.
Then when the football flew into the goal, it suddenly fell from the highest peak, and the decibel curve turned downward and plunged into the abyss.
The boos in the stands disappeared without a trace at this moment.
The entire stadium felt as if the mute button had been pressed.
It wasn't until the substitute players of Dongchuan Middle School roared loudly on the bench that the decibel curve started to rise again, and the huge boos returned to everyone's ears.
After Hu Lai saw the football rolling into the goal, he pushed hard with his hands, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, kicked his legs, did a back roll, and stood up directly from the ground.
Then he turned around and ran towards the corner flag area.
Looking at the lush green natural turf, he could finally put into practice the idea that had been in his mind for a long time!
Kneel down!
After sprinting, he jumped out with his legs behind him. His knees softened and his legs knelt on the turf. Then, under the action of inertia, he slid forward!
When he was kneeling down, the image that came to Hulay's mind was the domineering back of the famous Arsenal star Thierry Henry when he was kneeling down. He wanted to appear like this in the eyes of others.
But the reality is that not long after he slid out on his knees, he stopped moving forward because of the huge resistance on the turf. At the same time, his body was still pounced forward under the influence of inertia. In the end, he could only choose to fall down on the turf, ending this short kneeling celebration... Of course, this was better than his hands and feet. Crawling on the ground looks better.
Damn it, why don’t you pour some more water into the turf during halftime!
Hu Lai, whose entire face was buried in the grass, cursed in his heart.
Compared with the first half, after dozens of minutes of competition and sun exposure, the field conditions have become much drier than the first half.
The venue is not that slippery, which is a good thing for Dongchuan Middle School, but for Hu Lai, the perfect sliding kneeling he dreams of has failed...
But no one knows Hu Lai's inner drama.
His teammates rushed over, laughing and cheering, and pressed Hu Lai down hard before he could get up!
Li Ziqiang turned around and pumped his fist slightly. Behind him were the Dongchuan Middle School players who were stacking up.
The man who scored the goal was almost invisible, with only one hand still struggling outside, trying to grab something.

In order to interfere with Hu Lai's shot, Wu Yue threw his entire center of gravity away, so he failed to maintain his balance and fell to the ground.
Now looking at the football in the goal, he knows that his defense failed.
But how could it fail?
It doesn't make sense, that kid shouldn't be able to withstand my collision... Could it be that I was a little slow and waited for him to shoot the football out before I got closer?
That's not right. I saw it clearly. I bumped into his body before he shot...
Wu Yue stared at the football in the goal in a daze.

"Wu Yue is still a little slow..." Dai Zetao sighed in the silent stands. "If he could have reached it earlier, Hu Lai would never have scored."
But Wang Guangwei shook his head: "No, Brother Tao. Wu Yue performed well enough, and he was not too late. He did get closer when Hu Lai shot, but he failed to interfere with the opponent's shot."
"How could it be? Now that we are close, we can knock Hu Lai away with just a little force..."
"But he didn't knock it away, or in other words, he failed to knock it away when Hu Lai shot."
Dai Zetao looked at Wu Yue sitting on the ground with surprised eyes. How could he not even be able to knock away the weak Hu Lai?
"He underestimated the enemy?" he said doubtfully.
Wang Guangwei didn't answer him because he didn't know the answer.
Maybe because of fear of fouling?
Maybe Hu Lai withstood it?
But no matter what the reason was, Hu Lai scored and Dongchuan Middle School equalized the score. What he worried about happened.
He turned his attention to Dongchuan Middle School, which was celebrating a goal on the field. Hu Lai, who was originally at the bottom, had been pulled up from the ground by them. His hair and jersey were all wrinkled, and the color of his knees became different due to sliding and kneeling. He didn’t know whether they were stained or scratched.
However, these embarrassments could not hide the proud smile on the young man's face.
Wang Guangwei sighed softly.
After three days of separation, everyone was treated with admiration. This boy is much more powerful than he was a year ago.
Furthermore, his teammates are more willing to pass the ball to him more aggressively.
This team and this person seem to have finally found a suitable tacit rhythm and are organically combined.

When Dongchuan Middle School ends its celebration and the game restarts, as long as the Dongchuan Middle School players get the ball, the boos in the stands will be louder than before.
Shen Yulin raised his head and looked around the stands. Since there was no runway to separate the stadium and the stands, he could even see the expressions and mouth movements of the fans in the first few rows. Although in the noisy environment, he couldn't hear clearly what everyone said, but looking at their expressions and mouth shapes, he could guess with his knees that what came out of those mouths must not be good words.
But Shen Yulin will no longer be disturbed by these sounds. No matter how loud the boos are, they can't make his heart beat faster, his mouth becomes dry, and his body feels weak...
Because these are all compliments and compliments to them!
Turning to look at Hu Lai's back, Shen Yulin grinned happily.
He held his head high and proudly and frankly accepted all the praises from Jiaxiang High School fans.
Thank you for your boos, for letting me know how scared you actually are of us.
※※※
Dongchuan Middle School, which equalized the score, became more and more courageous as they fought, and they formed a siege on Jiaxiang High School's goal.
Although shrinking defense has always been one of Jiaxiang High School's best tactics. But the shrinking defense in front of us is completely different from the defensive tactics that the team is usually proud of.
At least the normal Jiaxiang High School players are not so embarrassed...
They were really beaten down by Dongchuan Middle School's offense, instead of trying to lure the enemy deeper before shrinking their defense and preparing for a counterattack.
The main reason for this difference is that the morale of the Jiaxiang High School players has been severely hit and they are unable to perform at their normal level.
After all, no matter how good the tactics are, they still need specific players to execute them.
High school football tactics are relatively simple. This is also due to the age, ability, experience, experience and other aspects of student players. Their emotions can easily fluctuate and it is difficult to execute tactics stably.
It is remarkable that someone like Jiaxiang High School can faithfully implement the head coach's tactics and play a fixed football style for so many years.
But with the loss to Dongchuan Middle School in last year's final, everyone's mentality also changed.
Perhaps in last year's final, Hu Lai messed up not only Wang Guangwei's hair, but also messed up Wang Guangwei's heart, but also messed up the hearts of all Jiaxiang High School players.
It is especially easy for them to lose their cool heads when facing Dongchuan Middle School and Hu Lai.
As the head coach of Jiaxiang High School, Feng Yuanchang stood on the sidelines with an anxious expression.
He knew very well that this was a critical moment and he had to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment from Dongchuan Middle School. As long as they get through it, the next game will be back on track, because Dongchuan Middle School cannot maintain this rhythm and finish the game. They don't have the physical fitness.
Under his watch, Hu Lai found another chance in the penalty area, and his shot eventually missed the goal.
But this time, there were no boos in the stands, but exclamations.
Feng Yuanchang felt that his heart was beating very fast, but what he couldn't feel was that his body was hunched over due to tension, which made the old man look even older... (End of Chapter)
