Master Tutoring Class

Chapter 130 The Little Slicker (Ninth Update)

"Xiao Lai! Don't be afraid! It's normal to be nervous the first time."

Halfway through Wang Hao's shout, he saw Wei Lai's clear black and white eyes, and there was no sign of tension in them.

"I shouldn't have said that!" Wang Hao couldn't help but laugh.

This kid has always had a big heart.

"Brother Jin, you should do more running around. The coach has asked me to be in charge of decision-making and coordination. I'll find an opportunity to support you!"

After Wei Lai came on stage, he immediately called out to Jin Zhe.

Jin Zhe immediately nodded, indicating that he understood.

Wei Lai turned his head again; "Brother Xie, I'll come over to support you. You just take care of holding the line. Don't worry about me, I'll definitely help you keep them occupied!"

Xie Yuanneng gave a thumbs up; "That's great!"

Wei Lai looked ahead and said, "Brother Chen, it's been a pleasure working with you!"

Chen Jinyu smiled and nodded; "It's a pleasure to cooperate!"

Wei Lai looked into the distance again, and Jersey smiled and nodded at him from across the court. Wei Lai nodded in response.

call!
Wei Lai let out a breath and perked up.

"bring it on!"

My first professional match is about to begin!

Commentator Duan Jiang: "The match has restarted. Jiaozhou Weili has made a substitution. Let's look forward to the debut performance of young player Wei Lai!"

Xie Yuanneng threw the ball from Jiaozhou Weili to Teng Qiang.

Teng Qiang received the ball from the opponent but found there was no way to pass it forward, so he could only pass it back.

Chen Jinyu received the ball and passed it back, but it went directly past Wei Lai and into the back line.

Wei Lai's head started to move, and after looking left and right repeatedly, he immediately retreated to provide support.

"Wei Lai is retreating; he's planning to provide backup."

Wei Lai retreated all the way back, and Zheng Tao trusted Wei Lai enough to pass him the ball.

"Xiao Lai!"

Wei glanced at the ball and immediately turned to check Kovacic's position.

Just as Kovacic was about to start, Wei Lai gave him a look, but he still immediately followed.

However, after running one step, Wei Lai turned his head again to look at Kovacic and confirm his location once more.

After turning around twice, Kovacic suddenly felt very awkward.

Finally, before receiving the ball, Wei Lai turned around again.

"What are you looking at!"

Kovacic took a sudden step forward.

But Wei Lai spun in the opposite direction, dodging Kovacic's challenge, and smoothly broke free before passing the ball across to Xie Yuanneng.

"Very stable!" Duan Jiang said loudly; "Wei Lai handled the first kick very well, he wasn't intimidated by Kovacic!"

Liu Zhenghao, standing to the side, blinked and murmured softly:

"That can't be right! He turned around three times?"

On the field, Wei Lai ran to the left.

"Thank you brother!"

Xie Yuanneng immediately passed the ball, and after passing it, he exclaimed in surprise, "Watch out!"

But Wei Lai seemed to have been prepared, flicking the ball with the back of his foot and passing it out, once again evading Kovacic's pressing.

Then, Wei Lai turned around and ran to the next open space.

"Xiao Lai!"

Wei Lai received the ball again, controlled it with his left foot, and then decisively passed it with his right foot.

boom!
Kovacic is slow again.

"???"

Kovacic stared in surprise at Wei Lai's retreating figure.

Something is wrong!
How did you handle it so quickly!

He's a veteran of the Chinese Super League, having played for three years, but Wei Lai's ball handling rhythm and observation frequency are very unlike those of a Chinese Super League player!

Even when he tried his best to keep up with Wei Lai, he was always a step behind, which was very frustrating.

Wei Lai's passing and receiving on the field mostly involved one-touch touches, at most two.

They mainly rely on short passes and safe balls, but they are always a step ahead of the players from Hanzhong Xinyue.

At first I didn't think anything of it, but as I kept kicking, something felt off.

"Rob him!"

"Press it!"

"Don't let him run away with you!"

The players at Hanzhong Xinyue were getting anxious.

But no matter how hard they pushed forward, they were always a step behind Jiaozhou Weili.

Not too much, not too little, but that slight delay made their kicks extremely difficult.

Suddenly, Kim Cheol's cross was a bit too high, and it will definitely take time to control the ball.

Jin Zhe was also starting to panic.

But he saw that Wei Lai had already rushed towards the ball.

Wei Lai controlled the ball with his left foot, then ignored it and slammed his body backward.

Wei Lai and Kovacic collided head-on.

snort!
Wei Lai grunted, his body almost being thrown off balance. But he managed to steady himself, staggered a couple of steps, and used his toes to pass the ball back.

"Mine! Mine!"

Jin Zhe quickly gestured.

Wei Lai clutched his chest, grimacing.

"It's alright! Stay calm!"

After saying that, he turned his head to look over and saw that Kovacic, this big guy, was really strong.

Wei Lai rubbed his chest again.

That was pretty dangerous. If the fight hadn't gone well, he would have had to resort to the screaming and collapsing technique, rolling around three times first!
Little did anyone know, Kovacic's gaze toward Wei Lai was even more bizarre.

On the sidelines, Chang Chen-ting, Liu Wei, and others couldn't help but shake their heads:
"You worried for nothing!"

Liu Wei nodded in agreement; "Young people definitely want to show off, especially since it's their debut. I thought Wei Lai would be overwhelmed by excitement, but he's very clear-headed."

Zhang Zhenting also smiled and said, "Scoring points is more important than performance. We are now two goals ahead, so we are not in a hurry to attack. We will use the numerical advantage in the midfield and defense to outmaneuver the opponent and waste time!"

Having said that, he laughed and scolded;
"You little rascal!"

The young men in the North Stand, Willie's die-hard fans, were somewhat dumbfounded.

They really have high expectations for Wei Lai and hope he will deliver a brilliant performance.

Was Wei Lai's performance bad?

Do not!
Excellent performance!

But...it feels weird!

Shouldn't young people be charging forward with boundless energy?

"That's right! Isn't this the genius's routine? Charge! If we lose the ball, we'll start over!"

"But something's not right with ours!"

One die-hard fan said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Isn't this guy a sly fox?"

He pointed to the stadium.

"You see, as long as the ball is dead, let it stay still for as long as possible, and let it lie on the grass if possible."

"Look at this ball out of bounds again, does it look familiar? Control, dead ball, cunning!"

"As long as I can control the ball, I'll control it to death! My passes are neither too fast nor too slow, just a beat faster than yours? I'll just run around with you, wear you down, and mess with your mentality!"

He turned to look at the others.

"Is this really his first time playing professionally?"

09 National Youth Team Chat Group.

After a long silence.

Yang Fan: [Dirty! Lao Wei's play is fucking dirty!]

Chen Shaojie: [Is it dirty? This is awesome, okay?]

Pei Le: [Can Wei Lai still play like this? I thought so.]

Yang Fan: [You think he's just a reckless brute? How simplistic! Even if our whole team put all our wits together, we still couldn't outsmart him!]

He Chaoyue: [In other words, Wei Lai knows best how to play a game; he knows what to do!]

Xiang Ming: [That's right! However, it's indeed easy to get your mindset messed up when you're his opponent.]

On Xigua Sports, Duan Jiang and Liu Zhenghao kept praising Wei Lai.

The comments section also saw heated discussions about Wei Lai's performance.

At this moment, a user named "Fishing" sent a comment.

'No! Why can't this ball get up there? What's the point of just passing it sideways back and forth?'

'Um? '

'Something feels off, like a barb!'

Sure enough, a barrage of negative comments began to appear.

'What kind of bullshit genius is that!'

'That's it? That's it? I could do that too! It's all just passing the ball left and right anyway!'

'Teammates covering for you? Genius is all hype!'

'Not a single forward pass, and they're still praising them so much?'

Hahaha! Just as I expected!

'Not caught! Fishing here!'

'Excellent fishing skills!'

'Passing the ball forward? Nothing beats a three-pointer!'

'But honestly, Wei Lai played way too much like a team!'

That's why he was able to play in the Chinese Super League at just 16!

'But this is seriously intense! He fucking controlled it!'

"Absolutely! His ball handling speed is incredible, and he can even cover for his teammates. If it were any other 16-year-old, they would have collapsed by now!"

'That was a really good move! First, he stopped the ball, then he took the initiative in the challenge, and he even managed to stay calm!'

"To be honest, those kinds of technically skilled monsters are certainly entertaining to watch, but we've never produced someone like Wei Lai before—he's so practical!"

'I always felt that compared to those technically gifted but ultimately less skilled individuals, Wei Lai's type is on a completely different level!'

"Absolutely! Those kinds of technical gimmicks are basically just individual shows, but Wei Lai genuinely provides value to the team!"

'It's a sure thing! With this kind of performance! After a few more games, it'll basically be a sure thing!'
