Chapter 147 So Chen Xingyi
On Sunday night, men and women in the KTV private room were howling like ghosts and singing off-key songs to release the stress of urban men and women. Some people who were not interested in singing got together to play dice, and the loser had to drink a full glass of beer amidst the cheers.
The dimly lit private room was filled with heart-wrenching singing, the screams of winners playing dice, and the grunts of losers drinking beer. White smoke drifted around the room, and everyone was enjoying themselves.
Only Sun Yonggang's attention was neither singing nor participating in the dice game.
He was sitting on the sofa in the corner, holding his mobile phone and scrolling.
He was also reading that Tieba article.
While reading, I complained about the official bureaucracy of the Anton Cup. The news on the official website is not as detailed as a post written by an ordinary student in the forum... Shame!
The official news only said that Dongchuan Middle School eliminated Jiaxiang High School 3:1 in an away game, and Hu Lai completed a hat trick in this game.
However, the details of how to enter are very unclear.
This Tieba article is more detailed.
In the first goal, Hu Lai used a counterattack and then advanced to receive Ying Xia Xiaoyu's long pass and shot into the far corner.
The second goal was a free kick opportunity from Dongchuan Middle School. Hu Lai got rid of Wu Yue who was marking him and scored with a header without any defense at the front point.
The third goal was a beautiful counter-offside move. He pretended to shoot into the far corner, but instead shot the football into the goal from the near corner.
There are not only descriptions of the three goals, but also detailed records of the game and how others reacted to Hulay's three goals.
What's even more commendable is that as a student of Jiaxiang High School, the poster was able to record this game from a neutral and objective perspective, and did not blindly discredit the performance of Dongchuan Middle School or the irrational Jiaxiang High School students around him. The students also made criticisms.
With a journalist's keen sense of smell and occupational disease, Sun Yonggang even thought that this article might become the most detailed source of information for recalling this Anton Cup semi-final.
For this purpose, he began to use the screenshot function of his mobile phone to save this information section by section.
If he puts it online, he is afraid that the article will be deleted that day, so it is safest to save it on his computer hard drive.
It took him a lot of effort to save all the content, including the content where students from Dongchuan Middle School and Jiaxiang High School were scolding each other. For him, a journalist covering high school football, everything related to high school football is an interesting target. This kind of verbal abuse is also part of the high school football culture, although some people may not like it.
Looking at the photos in the photo album on his mobile phone, he couldn't help but think of the last national competition.
When Dongchuan Middle School was eliminated by Chongwen Middle School in the quarter-finals, and Luo Kai was also spotted by a professional team, he once thought that this school would never appear in the national competition again.
After all, the strength has declined seriously.
That Hu Lai is a bit interesting, but he is obviously still a rookie. How can he make waves by himself?
The result was unexpected...
When I set my sights on Anton Province again, I discovered that Dongchuan Middle School had already reached the finals.
And that rookie Hu Lai not only scored a hat trick against Jiaxiang High School... this hat trick was his second hat trick in this Anton Cup. So far, he has scored in every Anton Cup game, scoring ten goals in total.
Looking at such data, Sun Yonggang had some doubts about whether his previous judgment on Hu Lai was correct.
In the last national competition, because Hu Lai was the second top scorer of Dongchuan Middle School, he also got some information about Hu Lai. I know that this kid didn't receive much serious football training until he joined the school team, and his level was very low. In the qualifying stage, he only made two substitute appearances.
According to Sun Yonggang's experience, no matter how talented Hu Lai is, insufficient training time is still a flaw. He needs time to improve himself and accumulate experience.
Therefore, he is not optimistic that Hu Lai will be able to help Dongchuan Middle School enter the national competition after Luo Kai is removed.
He felt that at most, when Hu Lai was a senior in high school, it might be possible to see him in a national competition.
But obviously, his experience is of no use to Hu Lai or Dongchuan Middle School.
Although there is still one final left to play, in the entire Anton High School football class, which school can still play?
Another school that made it to the finals was No. 13 Middle School from Jincheng. This school was only in the quarterfinals of the Anton Cup last year. The reason why it made it to the finals this year was entirely because Jiaxiang High School and Dongchuan Middle School were drawn together.
Otherwise, if they meet either of these two teams, they will not be able to reach the finals.
So if nothing unexpected happens, it can be said that Dongchuan Middle School's qualification for the national competition again is a sure thing.
After a year, I can meet them again at the national competition. I will pay close attention to them then...
At this moment, the mobile phone in Sun Yonggang's hand suddenly rang, and the caller ID on the screen told him that it was the deputy editor.
He quickly stood up and walked out of the extremely noisy KTV private room. He only answered the phone after closing the door to all the cries and howls.
"Xiao Sun, I have a task for you to take charge of next. You plan, our "Goal" website plans to make a documentary about the high school national competition..."
"Documentary?" Sun Yonggang was a little surprised at first, but then his eyes became hot - this is something he has been admonishing to his leaders. After all, there are many video records of the national competitions in neighboring Japan, but not in China. He has always hoped to use images as a carrier to record the national competitions of Chinese high school students, which are more vivid than words and pictures.
"Well, let's take Shuguang High School's road to three consecutive national championships as the main line and record their winning process..."
Hearing what the deputy editor said, Sun Yonggang was a little confused: "The three consecutive champions of Shuguang High School haven't written a word yet, right? Doesn't this give a feeling of official approval?"
"What an imperial decision!" the deputy editor laughed and scolded, "Didn't you pay attention to the Morning Light Cup that Shuguang High School participated in?"
"Follow it, pay attention..." Sun Yonggang said as he cut out of the call interface and opened the "Goal" website APP, which contained the latest status of the qualifiers for each region.
He does pay attention to the Morning Light Cup, but he hasn't watched the Morning Light Cup final this afternoon. I was called out by my friends for a party in the afternoon and have been playing until now. I just remembered to pay attention to the Anton Cup situation when I was tired from playing. Then I was stunned for a while because of Hu Lai, and I didn't have time to pay attention to the results of the Morning Light Cup finals.
The reason why he didn't pay attention immediately was because Sun Yonggang felt that it was hard to win three consecutive national championships, but it should not be difficult to win three consecutive Morning Light Cup championships.
"Shuguang High School won the Morning Light Cup again..." He was searching for the Morning Light Cup in the APP while making random nonsense, but he was not worried about being discovered by the deputy editor, because the result was definitely correct.
But when the search results appeared on his phone, he was so frightened that he blurted out a curse word: "What the fuck?!"
What did he see?
“Morning Cup won three consecutive championships, and Chen Xingyi won five yuan!”
This is the first search result.
“Chen Xingyi’s ‘five sons passed the exam’, Shuguang High School completed three consecutive Chenguang Cup championships!”
This is the second search result.
"Chen Xingyi scored five goals in the final, setting a new record for the Morning Light Cup!"
This is the third search result.
The deputy editor's laughter came from the speaker of the phone: "Have you been exposed? Did you find it now? Based on Chen Xingyi's performance, do you think Shuguang High School will not be able to complete three consecutive championships? I suggest you go Take a look at the video of this final... Just a little bit, let me tell you, I have never seen such a murderous Chen Xingyi, do you understand what I mean?"
Sun Yonggang stared blankly at the news headlines and forum posts about Chen Xingyi winning five yuan on his phone screen.
※※※
After hanging up the phone, Sun Yonggang didn't bother to go back to the private room to continue having fun with his friends. He found a quiet place and found the video highlights of this morning's Morning Light Cup final on the "Goal" website.
This video is eleven minutes long. Dawn High School swept its opponent 7:3. The two teams scored a total of ten goals, setting a record for total goals in the Dawn Cup finals.
At the same time, Chen Xingyi scored five goals in the game, setting a record for the most goals scored by a single player in the Morning Light Cup final and Morning Light Cup single game.
In addition, with these five goals, he scored a total of 14 goals in this morning light cup, and also set a record for the most goals in a single morning light cup.
Looking at the sharp and even ferocious Chen Xingyi in the video, Sun Yonggang understood why the deputy editor said that he had never seen such a murderous Chen Xingyi...
In the past, everyone's impression was that Chen Xingyi was an approachable young man with a lazy smile on his face. Even during the game, he would become serious, but he would not have the expression and momentum he has today.
Moreover, in the high school game, when the outcome was no longer in suspense, to kill so ruthlessly and score five goals in a row... to be honest, it was a bit too much.
Today's Chen Xingyi really felt strange to him.
Sun Yonggang frowned, not understanding how that young man could act like a different person and be so violent. (End of chapter)
