Chapter 602 Substitution
The fact that Hu Lai completed a hat trick in the first half is shocking, but it is not that incredible.
After all, compared to five goals in nine minutes, it took him 23 minutes to score three goals, which was already considered slow.
And considering that the opponent in this game is Wang Xianke, it is normal for Hu Lai to perform like this - he has already proved this in the game against Dashun Golden Arrow. In terms of revenge, he is not targeting anyone...
It was just before the game, or at the beginning of the game, that the Yellow Sea Blue Birds would give Anton Flashing Stars a hard fight at home, and his cheeks were still a little burning at this time.
After conceding three goals in the first half, the players of Huanghai Jade Bird realized that it might be impossible for them to defeat Anton Shining Star at home.
The goal of relegation will also be in jeopardy due to the failure of this game - in a game that ended earlier in the afternoon, Wuli Shunchang narrowly defeated Shangdu Shenwei 1:0 at home. The victory of Wuli Shunchang, the third-last team in the league, in this game means that if the Huanghai Bluebirds, the first-last team, lose in this round of the league, the two sides will be five points apart. There are still two rounds left in the league, and the five-point difference will be The difference almost prevented them from relegation.
Seeing that the hope of relegation is getting slimmer and slimmer, the players of Huanghai Jade Bird are also making more and more moves.
In fact, their actions were not small. From the beginning of the game, they relied on this desperate kicking style to try to scare away Anton Shining Star.
As a relegation team, it is actually right to play like this at their home court.
However, as they conceded goals one after another, the mentality of the Huanghai Jade Bird players became a little unbearable.
In fact, after Hu Lai scored the second goal, he had already received "key care" from the Huanghai Jade Bird players. When he completed the hat trick, the Huanghai Jade Bird players did not restrain their actions, but intensified their actions.
They didn't just do this to Hu Lai, but after Hu Lai scored three goals, the hatred value was naturally the highest.

"I overlooked something..." Zhao Kangming said suddenly on the sidelines.
"What?"
"Hu Lai performed so well in this game and drove Wang Xianke to a dead end. What if this bastard jumps over the wall in a hurry?"
Chen Mo was stunned after hearing what Zhao Kangming said.
Then he said with some hesitation: "Isn't that true? Live broadcast across the country, in front of so many people... that person still has to have a face, right?"
"Have you forgotten how he treated Hu Lai's father? How did he escape accountability? Accidents, everything is an accident. Isn't it normal for an accident to happen in a football match?"
Chen Mo fell silent. He had to admit that what Lao Zhao said was entirely possible.
After all, Wang Xianke...he has a criminal record!
"What should we do? Are you going to replace him now? The first half is not even over yet... Besides, Hu Lai has always had better luck, maybe this time too..."
Zhao Kangming shook his head: "No, we can't place our hopes on such illusory things as luck. Let Kang Ziqing warm up, I want to replace him!"
Chen Mo turned around and walked towards the bench. Soon Kang Ziqing got up from the bench with a confused look on his face, put on a yellow vest and ran towards the warm-up area.

Hu Lai raised his hand and rubbed the red string bracelet on his right wrist.
This is the only thing he can give himself in this game.
Because he had to play the quarter-finals with Spain at the Olympics, he used up all the points awarded for the Olympic mission. In the end, he still failed to break through the host country's level, and all the points were wasted.
There are only a few scraps left on him.
This resulted in him now having to scrape together 10,000 points to exchange for a [lover's red rope] to add some luck to himself.
Hopefully this luck will save him from a possible violent foul.
After all, luck can also reduce his chance of injury.
In addition, Hu Lai also prepared other means to deal with Wang Xianke's possible dirty tricks.
That is "for the purpose of self-protection, the movement range is slightly exaggerated to avoid danger based on a deep understanding and reasonable use of the rules."
Hu Lai has always done everything possible to protect himself. Even if he is scolded as "diving" or "diving prince"... he will never change his original intention.
After all, he knows very well that the biggest enemy of professional players is injuries. In any case, he cannot let his good career turn around because of injuries.
What's worse is that his body is not strong to begin with. If he doesn't learn to avoid kicking, will he still have to hit an egg against a stone?
It's not like he has cerebral palsy.
Those people scolding themselves will not make their careers worse, but if they are injured, there may be problems in their careers.
He could already feel that the movements of the Huanghai Jade Bird players were getting bigger and bigger. In order to protect himself, he fell to the ground many times. The shining star white away jersey on his body was covered with mud and grass juice, and the parts that frequently touched the ground were almost stained. It turned brownish green.

"That bitch Wang Xianke!" Xie Lan cursed angrily when he saw the "tragic situation" of his son on the TV broadcast. "Sure enough, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit! If my son has any shortcomings, I will fight for him!"
Although Hu Lixin was nervous, he still wanted to comfort his wife. After all, if he really made his wife angry, he didn't know whether Wang Xianke would die or not. He himself would probably die before Wang Xianke...
"It's okay, it's okay. Hu Lai hasn't been injured yet. He is very lucky in this regard..."
"Luck doesn't count. It's not reliable at all!" Xie Lan was not convinced by him so easily. "You said it's okay if it's okay? Can you predict when Wang Xianke, the critic, will let his players do something bad? Don't say it's impossible, rabbits bite people when they are anxious, let alone Wang Xianke, a dog... ”
Hu Lixin, whose head was as big as a bucket, could only point to the TV screen and said: "Besides luck, Hu Lai still knows how to protect himself... Don't look at how dirty he was after falling, but in fact there is nothing wrong with him at all. He acted so exaggeratedly. Most of the time it just looked scary. Look at the few times he rolled on the ground, it looked serious, but he rolled around so much to relieve himself..."
While he was talking to his wife, he saw Hu Lai receiving the ball outside the Huanghai Jade Bird penalty area. At the same time, the Huanghai Jade Bird defensive player also tackled from the side.
Just before he was about to tackle the football, Hulay pushed the football away while he chased after him.
But Hu Lai failed to catch up with the football because his supporting foot was shoveled into the heel when he was lifted up...
I saw that Hu Lai's whole body lost the momentum to rush forward, and fell down like a kite with its string broken.
Instead of rolling on the ground, he just lay down on the turf, motionless.
The sneaker of the left foot that was hit by the shovel fell off the foot and fell to the side.
"Yeah!" Xie Lan screamed, pointed at the TV screen and turned to her husband and exclaimed: "He didn't give up!"
Hu Lixin also looked at the screen blankly, and the commentator of the Anton TV Sports Channel came from the TV speakers: "This is a shovel from behind! This should be sent off with a direct red card! It's so despicable! It's really Wang Xianke The team you lead!”
※※※
Almost at the same time that Hu Lai fell to the ground, Chen Mo and Zhao Kangming stood up from their seats and rushed out. Then they rushed to the fourth official together, waving their arms and complaining to him: "This is a deliberate shovel." ! ”
On the court, Chen Xingyi, who was the closest, immediately ran to Hu Lai and asked anxiously: "How are you, Hu Lai?"
Hu Lai, who was lying face down on the turf, didn't answer him.
Zhang Qinghuan, who ran up after him, pushed Chen Shifeng, the defender of Huanghai Blue Bird who had just gotten up from the ground after shoveling someone: "You are looking for your fucking death!"
Then he was immediately pushed back by another Huanghai Jade Bird player: "What are you doing? Don't do it!"
The players from both sides just clashed, yelling at each other, rolling up their sleeves, and wanting to have a big fight...
The referee blew the whistle continuously, and at the same time, there were sensible people in both teams to separate them.
Qin Lin put his arms around Zhang Qinghuan's neck and pulled him out of the crowd, still blaming him: "What are you doing? When the other person pushed you, you could just cover your face and fall back... That's it for you Push others, and others push you. What’s the point of pushing back and forth? ”
Zhang Qinghuan also looked annoyed: "Fuck, I didn't expect it just now...Brother Lin, it's too late for me to fall to the ground now, right?"
Qin Lin rolled his eyes at him.
"Brother Lin, aren't you worried about Hu Lai?" Zhang Qinghuan saw that he was so calm.
"I just took a look and found that the heel of the sneaker was scratched, but it protected his feet, so it should be nothing serious."
Hearing Qin Lin's words, Zhang Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone can see that Hu Lai is now on the rise. As long as he can maintain this momentum, his future is limitless. But I'm just afraid of getting hurt at a time like this... Then it's all over.
He looked at Junpei Morikawa, who was still yelling at the opponent's players from a distance, and frowned: "This time the sneakers saved him, but what about next time?"
Qin Lin did not answer his question because Qin Lin himself did not know.

Hu Lai lay on the ground and did not get up. In the end, he was carried down on a stretcher.
This seems to make people even more worried about his injury...
As soon as he was carried off, head coach Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo surrounded him.
As soon as they squatted down, the two coaches couldn't wait to ask in unison: "How is it?"
He did not hide the anxiety and nervousness on his face.
Hu Lai, who was lying on the stretcher just now with a painful look on his face, raised his eyes and said to the two coaches: "I'm fine..."
"Whether you are okay or not is up to you." Chen Mo glared at him, while Zhao Kangming turned his attention to Yang Hua, the team's medical leader.
Yang Hua did not answer immediately, but first did some inspections at his own pace, and then said to Zhao Kangming: "It's indeed fine. I just need to change a pair of sneakers."
He handed the sneakers he picked up from the court to the two coaches.
Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo looked over and found that the leather surface of the heel of the sneakers had been cut open, and the fabric inside was revealed.
This scene is really shocking - if this cut appeared on Hu Lai's heel... I'm afraid what would come out would not be a fabric sandwich, but bloody flesh.
"Substitute!" Zhao Kangming stared at the opening and gave the order.
Chen Mo turned around and ran back to call Kang Ziqing back who was warming up.
Hu Lai suspected that he heard wrongly: "Director Zhao, I'm fine... Doctor Yang also said that I'm fine, I just need to change to a pair of sneakers..."
"How can we have so many sneakers for you to change?" Zhao Kangming shook his head. "Is this a problem that can be solved by changing to a pair of sneakers? You were lucky this time, but what about next time? Do you expect to be lucky every time?"
Hu Lai thought of [Lover's Red Rope], which should be the system props playing a role. But he really doesn’t know whether this luck-increasing prop will work correctly every time...
"Okay, Hu Lai. I understand your desire to take revenge on Wang Xianke, but now that you have completed the hat trick, Wang Xianke can't make any trouble. Huanghai Jade Bird will definitely lose this game, and there is basically no suspense about their relegation. ...You can’t bring yourself into it, right?”
Hearing Zhao Kangming's words, Hu Lai finally nodded: "Okay, Director Zhao, please replace me."
Zhao Kangming took a deep breath and patted him on the shoulder: "Have a good rest. I have to rely on you for the next two league games."

"Wang Xianke, that bastard! I'm going to fucking sell mapi!" Xie Lan cursed in front of the TV and shed tears.
She has been scolding her son since she saw her son being carried off on a stretcher. In her opinion, any situation that needs to be carried off on a stretcher is very serious, which means that her son is really injured this time, and it is not serious. Light...
Hu Lixin could only hold her tightly and let her scold him, not knowing what to say to comfort his wife.
He really hoped that Hu Lai would dive this time. Even if he was scolded by everyone for diving and cheating after the game, he didn't care. But judging from the slow motion of the TV broadcast just now, the opponent's kick was firmly on the heel.
He couldn't kid himself.
He felt his hands shaking. He didn't know if it was because of himself or from his wife's body in his arms. In short... he hugged his wife tighter.
"Chen Shifeng's kick was a very bad foul. Don't say that he didn't rush at people... He was so angry that he wanted to cripple people! How could he shovel him from behind like this?!" Anton Sports on the TV The channel commentator continued to angrily scold the fouling player.
※※※
The chaos on the field continued, and the fight between the referee and the players on both sides seemed to be of no use.
In the end, the referee had to give Junpei Morikawa a yellow card and warned him not to act rashly again, otherwise he would be sent off.
At the same time, Wang Guangwei and Xia Xiaoyu worked together to drag Morikawa Junpei back, thus keeping him away from the place of right and wrong.
Then Chen Shifeng, who tackled someone, was directly ejected from the stadium with a red card.
"Red card! There is nothing wrong with this penalty! Shoveling someone from behind should be a red card!" He Feng said in a stern tone. This time he had no intention of being a peacemaker.
"I hope Hu Lai is fine..." Yan Kang murmured worriedly beside him.
This is also the common expectation of countless fans. (End of chapter)
