Chapter 179 Isn’t that better?
When the football flew into Qingyang Yigao's goal for the fourth time, Chu Yifan also had a look of astonishment on his face - he knew that Hu Lai had improved a lot compared to last year, but he still didn't expect that this year's Hu Lai could So strong!
Happy Fourth of Year!
This is a national competition, not the Anton Cup!
You have to say that there is still confusion in the provincial qualifiers. The level of participating teams is uneven. It is normal to have big scores. It is normal for one person to score four or five points in a single game.
But which team in the national competition did not fight bloody battles in the local qualifiers and finally made it out of the siege? No matter how you say these teams are the strongest in a province, no matter how they rank in the national competition, they are still above the average level. How can they be so casually happy in the national competition?
Chu Yifan felt that even Luo Kai might not be able to do it here.
Those who were as shocked as Chu Yifan included his roommates.
This time they did not express their shock by spitting out fragrance, but just stared at the court dumbfounded, using silence to express a higher level of surprise.
When Hu Lai scored a hat trick, they thought it was too awesome.
Within a few minutes, Hu Lai scored another goal, and the hat trick turned into a big four.
For some reason, they actually felt like they were slapped in the face by Hu Lai - they felt that Hu Lai was already awesome if he could score three goals and complete a hat trick. But Hu Lai told them with this goal: No! I can be even more awesome!

The originally noisy bus carriage suddenly fell silent.
This brief silence seemed even more strange and eye-catching.
Even those who had not followed the live broadcast of this game before could not help but ask: "What happened? What happened again?"
After a few seconds, someone sighed quietly: "Hu Lai scored again..."
"Goal again? What do you mean?" Some people haven't reacted yet.
"What do you mean? It means that he is celebrating his fourth birthday!"
"I'm going? Four goals!?" Only then did someone come to his senses completely, but after this sentence he fell into silence and was also in huge shock.
"No... wasn't the commentator still praising youthful dreams and never giving up? I thought Qingyang Yigao was going to fight back, why was he scored again?"
"There is something wrong with the physical fitness of Qingyang No. 1 High School players..." explained some players who had been watching the live broadcast of the game. "They can't run anymore."
"Fast break is really demanding on physical energy. When I was watching the game in the first half, I felt that the two teams were going to be doomed if they continued to play like this..."
"Then why can Hu Lai score four goals? Isn't Dongchuan Middle School affected by physical strength?"
"I really don't mind." The teammate who has been watching the game live on his mobile phone replied, "They are in good physical condition."
At the front of the bus, the team's head coach Liang Yuanhao and the team leader Xu Yang also heard the discussion of the players behind them, and they heard it for a long time.
At the beginning, neither of them cared about Qingyang No. 1 High School and Dongchuan Middle School, or the performance of Zhou Zijing and Hu Lai.
But now when he heard about the physical problems, the team leader Xu Yang asked in a low voice: "Lao Liang, do you think this Dongchuan Middle School is a threat?"
Liang Yuanhao shook his head with a smile on his face: "I don't know. But if they can reach the semi-finals, then we have to study them. When the time comes for their game against Chongwen Middle School, go and watch the scene for me."
"No problem, I'll bring the machine as a supplement."
Liang Yuanhao nodded.
Xu Yang added: "But I heard from the children that Dongchuan Middle School has good physical fitness?"
"Good physical fitness is indeed a very good advantage. In fact, physical fitness is a very important foundation for middle school student competitions." Liang Yuanhao also nodded. "But physical training is very boring, and it is difficult for most schools to insist on it. After all, the training requirements of high school teams are different from professional teams and professional teams. It is impossible to copy the routines of professional teams... The head coach of Dongchuan Middle School is a professional He came from the team, but what’s even more difficult is that their players still admire him and are willing to cooperate with him and support his work..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard another exclamation from the car behind him: "Five! This Hu Lai is a monster!"
After these words, the car fell into silence again. Even Liang Yuanhao and Xu Yang stopped their previous topics and looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.
After a brief silence, someone asked tremblingly: "Um...has anyone ever scored five goals in a single game in a national competition?"
No one answered this question, but they all turned their attention to Chen Xingyi.
Chen Xingyi, who was leaning against the car window and dozing, seemed to be able to feel everyone's gaze even though he didn't open his eyes. His voice came from his seat: "No, even I couldn't compete in a national competition." Scored five goals.”
Everyone was speechless.
In the silence, Liang Yuanhao lowered his voice, leaned into Xu Yang's ear and said, "Wait and wait to see their match with Chongwen Middle School. They were eliminated by Chongwen Middle School last year, so we can compare their changes in the two competitions... …”
Xu Yang nodded and said nothing.

On the East Court of Nanshan University, the players from Qingyang No. 1 High School were already slumped on the ground. Even if Zhou Zijing wanted to encourage them, they had no fighting spirit to cheer up.
And in fact, deep down in their hearts, they were still worried that Zhou Zijing would lose his temper again, and they had to cheer them up... Of course they didn't mean that they didn't want to win, but they were really powerless.
If Zhou Zijing starts shouting again, but they are unable to respond to him, what image will they have in the minds of the fans who have been cheering them on? Will he be considered a coward? Will he be looked down upon for this?
But in fact, they were overly worried, because Zhou Zijing had nothing to say.
He stood there, staring blankly at Hu Lai who ran to celebrate the goal.
Why?
Why is he always the one scoring goals?
Why is it so difficult for me to score a goal, but it is so easy for him to score a goal?
His mind is now full of questions.
The TV broadcast showed the Qingyang No. 1 High School players who were stunned and slumped on the ground. Seeing this scene, the commentator was also a little embarrassed.
Because he had previously praised Qingyang Yigao's tenacity and used the performance of Qingyang Yigao's players to praise their youth.
As a result, his face is now swollen.
It was so embarrassing.
However, as a commentator, his on-the-spot reaction was pretty good. Watching this scene, his mind immediately turned around.
"Well... this is actually youth. Sometimes after you try your best, you may not be able to reap the victory you dream of. Not every effort will be rewarded... Youth also means failure and helplessness after going all out, regret. It is also the taste of youth..."
Okay, let him finish all the good and bad words. He is truly a person who relies on words for a living.

After Hu Lai completed the "feat" of scoring five yuan, he was quickly replaced by head coach Li Ziqiang.
This is the first time he has been substituted early in a game since his sophomore year of high school.
Li Ziqiang may have considered that Hu Lai, who has scored five goals, has performed well enough and there is no need to stay on the court and waste energy. After all, what he wants to care about now is how to play in the semifinals.
Although the other quarter-finals in the lower half have not yet been played, if nothing unexpected happens, Dongchuan Middle School’s opponent in the semi-finals should be Shanhai’s Chongwen Middle School.
The famous national football school that eliminated them in the last national competition was the runner-up in the last national competition.
In order to preserve strength and allow more main players to rest, Li Ziqiang not only replaced Hu Lai, but also Xia Xiaoyu and Tang Yuan.
Substituting three main players in one breath did not affect the final result of the game.
Because Qingyang Yigao was really defeated.
The final game turned into garbage time.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, Hu Lai and other substitute players came on to celebrate the victory.
He had just finished hugging his teammates, and when he turned around, he saw Zhou Zijing standing in front of him with a dissatisfied look on his face, glaring at him.
Seeing him turn around, he hummed: "What's so proud about, you're just relying on your teammates!"
Hu Lai smiled and said: "My teammates are all outstanding, isn't that even more rewarding?"
Zhou Zijing didn't expect Hu Lai to answer him like this. He originally thought that the other party was going to have a verbal spat with him, arguing about who was more powerful, so he was prepared for how to refute him next. If the other party shamelessly says that he is more powerful, then tell him that he is just a "cake fronter" who only knows how to eat cakes...
But Hu Lai would actually say to himself that his teammates are outstanding, which is a more joyful thing!
This sentence stunned Zhou Zijing on the spot.
He doesn't think it's a great thing that he scored five goals. He thinks it's even more awesome that he has a group of excellent teammates! (End of chapter)
