Chapter 593 Things are different and people are different
After defeating Dashun Golden Arrow 3:2 at home, Flash Star accumulated 47 points, surpassing the Nanjiarui Lions who lost this round of league, and became fifth in the league.
The South Kerry Lions were in sixth place with 44 points.
At the same time, Thunderbolt, which was originally ranked third, also lost this round, and its ranking dropped from third to fourth, still with 50 points. Flashing Star is only three points away from them.
Capital Dragon jumped to third place with 52 points due to its own victory and Thunderbolt's defeat.
Shanhai Mariner, who was originally ranked first, unexpectedly lost to Shangdu Shenwei in this round, falling to second place with 53 points.
The South China Tigers took the opportunity to surpass them and topped the league with 54 points.
With five rounds left in the league, Anton Shining Stars are five points away from the third-placed Capital Dragons in the league.
However, the next round of the league will be the home game between Capital Tenglong and Anton Shining Stars.
This game is worth six points for the Flash Stars - if they can beat Tamron in a direct conversation, not only can they get three points, but they can also prevent their opponents from getting three points, which adds up to six points. ?
At that time, the Flash Stars have 50 points and the Tamrons have 52 points. The difference between the two sides is only two points. With four rounds left in the league, anything is possible.
Of course, the Capital City Tenglong will definitely not surrender. On the one hand, this is their home court, and on the other hand, they are also competing for the league championship. They are now only two points away from the first place South China Tigers, which is only one game. There is a gap, why can't we fight for it?
Virtually any team in the top four wants to compete for the league title.
The competition for the league title this season is very unclear, and there is no saying who will definitely win the championship.
After entering the second half of the league, the defending champions Lingnan South China Tigers and Shanhai Mariners were fighting almost constantly. One moment you were in first place, the other moment I overtook you, and the next moment I came back. This may be related to the fact that both teams are plagued by injuries. Each of them has multiple important players on the injury list, so they have never been in the best condition or the strongest lineup.
While the competition between these two teams was fierce, other teams were not idle either. Capital Tamron and Thunderbolt also did not give up their fight for the championship.
There is now only a four-point difference between the South China Tigers, who are first in the league, and the Thunder, who are fourth in the league. No one knows which team will win the championship in the end.
Media experts all said that this is a rare chaotic season in the history of the Chinese Super League and a real "chaos".

Wang Guangwei's car was blocked by reporters as soon as it drove out of the training base.
Seeing this, Hu Lai had to lower the car window and prepare to be interviewed. But unexpectedly, reporters flocked to the passenger seat window in front of him. After Zhang Qinghuan lowered the window, their microphones came up one after another.
"Zhang Qinghuan, you will return to the Workers' Stadium to face your old club Tenglong in the next round of the league. What do you think about this?"
"Zhang Qinghuan, there are rumors that you were very dissatisfied with Tenglong's insistence on loaning you to the Flash Stars in the Chinese League One. So will this game be your revenge?"
"Qing Huan, will you return to Tenglong to play football one day in the future?"
……
Zhang Qinghuan waited for them to finish asking all the questions before answering in unison: "Facing Tamron again on the court is indeed a very strange experience. After all, all I wanted to do was play with Tamron until I retire... But this is life and Football.”
He shrugged at this.
"None of us knows where our next stop will be. I am very happy now at Flash Star, but I am also grateful to Tamron for cultivating and caring for me. Tamron gave me a professional life, and Flash Star gave me my first career. A second career life.”
After saying that, he would close the car window again, which also meant that he would no longer accept interviews. He did not answer the question about whether he would return to play for Tamron in the future, because who can say for sure what will happen in the future? He was unwilling to make any promises about the future.
Besides, as a Flash Star player now, he said that he will definitely return to Tamron in the future. What do Flash Star fans think? Is there a kind of wife who says to others: "Sooner or later I will return to the arms of my ex-boyfriend"?
But if he says he will not return to play for Tamron in the future, what will Tamron fans think? Do you think he is an ungrateful and heartless man? Qin Lin, your team member, has returned home after so many years. You didn't learn any of the virtues of love and righteousness from Qin Lin's side. You just learned the sword from Hu Lai, right?
So just pretend you haven't heard this dilemma and don't respond at all. This is also a necessary skill for many public figures and celebrities.
At this moment, someone in the crowd of reporters shouted: "Aren't you worried about being booed when you return to Tamron?!"
Before the car window was completely closed, Zhang Qinghuan's voice floated out from the car: "That is the freedom of the fans."
Then everyone watched the green electric car drive away quietly, chasing the Volvo that had left the training base before them.
Every reporter who often comes here to block Flash Star players knows that it was the car driven by Xia Xiaoyu.
"How could Zhang Qinghuan be booed?" A reporter turned back to the colleague who had just raised this question. "His status in the hearts of Tamron fans was not low at the time. Even if he later thought he had fallen, many fans turned negative, but now he has gained a lot of fans after turning around..."
The person who raised the question shook his head: "That's not necessarily true, man. If Flash Star loses to Tenglong, then of course Zhang Qinghuan will be greeted with cheers and applause, a touching 'go home'. But if Flash Star wins against Tenglong, Maybe we can all hear the familiar curse.”
When he said this, the man from before was stunned.
Capital Tamron is now ranked third and has great hope of competing for the league championship.
They must win the Flash Star at home, so that they can continue to put pressure on the Mariners and South China Tigers, who are ranked second and first.
In order to compete for the league championship, the old friendship is nothing...
If Zhang Qinghuan really stands in the way of Tenglong's championship, maybe everyone will really be able to hear the famous "cheering sound" with the local characteristics of the capital resounding through the workers' sports.

"Hey, Brother Huan, what if everyone calls you 'idiot' then..." Hu Lai, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly sighed.
"Just scold me, what else can I do? Can I go up and block all of their mouths?" Zhang Qinghuan shook his head gently, "Besides, it's not like I haven't been scolded before."
"Ah? Have you really been scolded?" Hu Lai was surprised.
"Well, after my first drunk driving, when I played again, I was booed and scolded by Tamron fans." Zhang Qinghuan said it lightly, but for him, it was actually a ridiculous time that he could not bear to look back on.
"Oh, you Tamron fans are quite positive."
"They used to have high expectations of me. If I failed to meet their expectations, it's normal to scold me." Zhang Qinghuan shook his head and spoke in a low tone.
"Brother Huan, don't worry. In order to let you adapt in advance, how about we start calling you this from now on?" Hu Lai said.
"Get out of here, uncle!" Zhang Qinghuan realized that Hu Lai had been waiting for him here for a long time, and he immediately scolded him back unceremoniously.
Wang Guangwei couldn't help it anymore: "Hu Lai, just be a human being, ah!"
"Don't they all say that the best way to solve difficulties is to face them head-on? Aren't I helping Brother Huan face difficulties head-on?" Hu Lai said forcefully. "What if Brother Huan is in a familiar stadium and is scolded by familiar fans until his blood boils and his condition is completely gone? Wouldn't we lose? To compete for the top three in the league, Tenglong is a very important and key opponent. …”
Zhang Qinghuan interrupted him: "Don't worry, Hu Lai. My psychological quality is not as fragile as you think!"
Hu Lai suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up: "Yes, so many people called you a scumbag back then, but you didn't take it seriously! Brother Huan has a big heart, Brother Huan is awesome!"
"Hu Lai, what the hell..."

When the bus turned into the Workers' Stadium, Zhang Qinghuan couldn't help but sat up straight and looked out the window.
Then he was stunned for a moment.
There are no signs of the familiar nightclubs.
Not only is the sign gone, but the house is also gone.
In its place is a blue engineered fence.
"Ouch, I didn't expect that the nightclub outside the Workers' Stadium would be demolished..." Han Xiangfei exclaimed. "What a pity!"
There is a circle of bars, nightclubs and restaurants surrounding the Workers' Stadium, offering a full range of food, drink and entertainment to serve every urban night traveler.
It is deserted and quiet during the day, but late at night, the place is brightly lit and bustling with activity. The roar of the exhausts of various luxury cars and the shouts of drunken men and women make people here forget the time and wonder what year it is.
Even the air here is filled with the smell of alcohol, tobacco and makeup and perfume. Countless paparazzi reporters are ambushing here, waiting for the figures of the stars. Countless men and women are here to stage love, hate, and gossip blockbusters...
This is the nightclub center of the entire capital, providing comfort and excitement to those lonely or unwilling souls.
And now, the stage has been torn down.
Those men and women, lonely souls and wild ghosts are nowhere to be found. The roar of construction machinery demolishing houses replaced the exhaust sound of large-displacement luxury cars in the past.
"Actually, it happened three months ago. The siege construction and demolition and cleaning started three months ago." Wang Guangwei whispered beside him. "When I first saw the news, I thought it was about demolishing the Workers' Stadium, but later I found out that only the bars and nightclubs outside the Workers' Stadium were being demolished..."
Zhang Qinghuan looked at the fences and the broken walls in the fences. He hadn't paid attention to the news here for a long time, and he hadn't been to the Workers' Stadium again for a long time.
I didn't expect that when I came back after so many years, I would be so different.
But that's fine. The place that held the past's absurd past has been completely demolished, which is really a good implication.
Zhang Qinghuan smiled.
"Brother Huan, what are you laughing at?" Hu Lai suddenly asked.
"It's nothing..." Zhang Qinghuan said perfunctorily and at the same time, he was wary of this kid, for fear that he would dig a hole behind and wait for him to jump into.
Hu Lai turned to look out of the car window and sighed: "What a pity..."
"What are you regretting?" Zhang Qinghuan couldn't help asking.
"It's a pity that I didn't get to see the place where Brother Huan fought. I originally wanted Brother Huan to take us there to open our eyes after the game... It's just like when I went to Dashun and didn't see how the old man in the bath gave the little star plate Dandan’s skills are also a pity..."
"What the hell, Hu Lai!" Chen Xingyi, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly stood up, reached over the back of the chair and pinched Hu Lai's neck.
Amid the playfulness of the young people, the bus drove into the parking lot of the Workers' Stadium. Assistant coach Chen Mo stood up and shouted: "Get off the bus! Hurry up!"
Hu Lai ducked out of the car with his neck scrunched up and ran towards the visiting team's locker room.
"Race with me? Hu Lai, I respect you as a man!" After Chen Xingyi shouted these words, he chased after him. Then he easily caught up with Hu Lai with his speed advantage, grabbed his neck and escorted him to the locker room. .
Hu Lai was like a dog that was grabbed by the skin around its neck and rolled up, with its head drooped and unable to resist.
Everyone burst into laughter when they saw this scene.
Chen Mo shook his head and said to Zhao Kangming next to him: "Young people are so energetic. I didn't feel at all that this was a key game."
Zhao Kangming, who also laughed, said: "Isn't that great? With a normal heart, the more times like this, the more relaxed you should be to deal with it. Having Hu Lai who knows how to play tricks has saved us so much trouble, Lao Chen."
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then thought more deeply: "So Hu Lai did this on purpose, just to avoid being nervous about the team?"
Zhao Kangming waved his hand quickly: "You are thinking too much, Lao Chen. He is just cheap and pure."

PS, I originally finished writing the day's tasks before twelve o'clock last night, but when I was taking a shower and getting ready to go to bed, I felt that the last chapter was not written correctly and I needed to rewrite it.
So after taking a shower, I sat in front of the computer again and overturned and rewritten. But how could I do this kind of rewriting alone?
Just in time to grill the fish, "Look at That Boss" has updated its latest chapter. After I read it, I talked with Grilled Fish and asked him to rewrite it too...
At almost two o'clock, I finally finished rewriting and went to bed. Alas, I wonder when the chapter on grilled fish was finished? Here I would like to recommend Orleans Grilled Sturgeon's new book "Look at That Boss" to everyone. It is his masterpiece of returning to the city. It can be seen from the fact that he rewrote it so simply that he put so much thought into this book. So friends who like his urban novels can go and collect them first to fatten them up for slaughter~
