Fox in the Penalty Area

As soon as Luo Kai took the ball and turned around, he was hit by Shan Xing's midfielder Ma Wenyi, who staggered and lost the ball.

But the referee did not call Ma Wenyi a foul, because it was a very standard and reasonable collision. Marvin's timing was very good, and he seized the opportunity to use his body when Luo Kai just turned around and was not on his feet. When the advantages hit, you don't need to use too much force, but you can get good results.

Just like this defense.

"...Luo Kai was strictly guarded by Flashing Star!" said Tengfei video commentator Shen Lang. "As soon as he gets the ball, there will be star players coming up to restrict him... It can be seen that Zhao Kangming attaches great importance to Luo Kai in this game. Of course, Luo Kai's performance in the last few games is also worthy of him. Pay attention to……"

Pan Hongwei saw this scene on the coaching bench, shook his head and said to the assistant coach next to him: "I still imagined that Zhao Kangming would not pay so much attention to Luo Kai..."

His assistant smiled: "Director Pan, aren't you joking? Before Luo Kai came to our team, he almost went to Zhao Kangming's Shining Star. And with Zhao Kangming's habit, it's not normal for him to pay more attention to young players. ?"

Pan Hongwei smiled, shook his head and said, "That's right, I'm too wishful thinking... Now the problem is troublesome. The opponent obviously focused on defending Luo Kai. In this game, Luo Kai may hardly have anything to do."

"It's also a good time to see what Luo Kai can do in the face of a targeted defense at the level of Flashing Star." The assistant coach said. "After all, Flash Star has only conceded eight goals so far. It is the team with the least conceded goals in our league. Their defense has always been very strong."

Pan Hongwei nodded and agreed with the assistant coach's words.

Zhao Kangming went to Shining Star to coach for the first half of the season. The team's performance fluctuated and the offense was weak. He was almost kicked out. Fortunately, Shining Star withstood the pressure and continued to give Zhao Kangming a chance. This is how Shining Star was able to wrestle with their South China Sea team.

But in fact, Pan Hongwei knew that Zhao Kangming didn't do nothing in the first half of the season in Flash Star. The reason why the team's offense was weak was because he had been training the team's defense all the time. As the former main central defender of the Chinese national team, he has a lot of experience in defense.

At the cost of half a season of unsatisfactory results, Flash Star bought the team's solid defense. He boldly used Wang Guangwei, a young player, and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities. He partnered with the experienced Li Tielin, and finally achieved the best defensive performance in the league with only 33 goals conceded in 34 league rounds last season.

In a sense, Pan Hongwei's decision to place his bet on Luo Kai this season and give this young player such important trust and opportunities is also the inspiration and confidence he drew from Zhao Kangming's treatment of Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai.

The Nanhai team faced strong and weak opponents before, but none of them had the best defense. Now Flashing Star is a good whetstone for Luo Kai.

He wants to use Flashing Star to sharpen a sharp knife for the South China Sea team.

※※※

After Luo Kai lost possession of the ball, he didn't scream like someone and rolled on the ground, trying to attract the referee's attention. Nor did he lie on the ground and roll around when the referee didn't whistle the opponent for a foul.

Instead, he turned around very simply and chased him back.

Halfway through the run, Flashing Star's attack failed and was cut off by the South China Sea team to fight back. He turned around and ran forward again.

Before the ball was passed, there was already a shining star defensive player beside him.

No need to guess, no need to feel, the facts are in front of him-Shan Xing is very strict with his defense.

Especially after entering the 30-meter zone, Wang Guangwei met him, which made him feel a little bit back to the Anton Cup final.

At that time, he couldn't even score a goal under Wang Guangwei's marking. In the end, Hu Lai came up to help him attract Wang Guangwei away, and then he scored a goal...

Speaking of Hu Lai, the game has been played for more than 20 minutes now, right? I haven't seen him a few times.

This kid is still the same as before...

But I am not the same as before!

Luo Kai didn't care about Flashing Star's tighter defense against him, and even...he welcomed it.

Because he has long wanted to meet the top defense in the first class, and he also wants to prove to those who know his past that he is not what he used to be now, and he no longer needs Hu Lai's help, and he can face Wang Guangwei. Score a goal in defense!

Thinking of this, he raised his hand for the ball.

"Luo Kai is asking for the ball! Although he has been closely guarded by Flash Star one after another, he has not flinched!" the football commentator of Nanling Satellite TV said loudly.

Football was passed on.

He collided with Wang Guangwei as soon as he caught the ball.

Luo Kai swayed and stopped to protect the football behind him, and did not lose the ball because of this collision.

But his plan to dribble the ball along the way also failed.

Wang Guangwei stopped him at a very critical position.

"Hi, Luo Kai, long time no see." Wang Guangwei who stopped Luo Kai even thought of greeting him.

Luo Kai glanced at him, but didn't answer, he didn't want to say "Long time no see" to Wang Guangwei under such circumstances.

This sentence is to be kept for Qingqing to hear!

Wang Guangwei was not bothered by Luo Kai's attitude either. After greeting Luo Kai, he focused on Luo Kai's feet. He saw Luo Kai swaying under his feet, as if he was going to use the outer instep of his right foot to dial the ball, but he was unmoved, because he judged that Luo Kai would not be so easy to face him, he must have feinted, I want to lie to myself first.

Sure enough, Luo Kai's right foot went around the football, and instead of kicking the football, he quickly retracted it.

But just as he retracted his foot, he took advantage of the situation and gently flicked the football to the left, and at the same time he started it, as if intending to break through from the left.

Seeing the ball move, Wang Guangwei followed to his right, and Luo Kai shifted his center of gravity to the left. He didn't know whether Luo Kai's shot was a feint, so he could only follow. Rocky?

Luo Kai saw that Wang Guangwei shifted his center of gravity. He crossed the football with his whole body. His right foot, which was supposed to continue waving the ball, also crossed the football. Then he immediately swung back and swiped the football in the opposite direction with the outer instep of his right foot... This time it is really going to break through from here!

He turned to catch up with the football, trying to speed up the breakthrough.

But failed.

Wang Guangwei posted it at the first time, and with a clean tackle, he tackled the football he just got up out of the sideline, and brought Luo Kai to the ground at the same time.

"No foul! No foul!" Anton Satellite TV commentator said again and again. "Clean tackle! This level of defense is a piece of cake for Wang Guangwei!"

Judging from the slow motion, it was indeed not a foul. Wang Guangwei shoveled the football first, and then brought Luo Kai down because he couldn't stop the car.

"It's so simple to break through me? Luo Kai, did you make a mistake? You are not the only one who is growing stronger!" Wang Guangwei pushed away Luo Kai, who was half pressed on his thigh, and crawled from the ground. stand up.

Luo Kai also got up from the ground: "Wang Guangwei, when did you become so talkative? I didn't see you talking so much in the final of the Anton Cup."

Wang Guangwei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "Sorry, this is the aftereffect of Hu Lai and I practicing together for a long time, but I think it will get better in a short time. Maybe next time we play away with you, I won't be chatting with you on the court."

Luo Kai shook his head: "Your words have indeed increased."

"Luo Kai and Wang Guangwei seem to be talking about something... By the way, they also know each other. They were rivals in the final of the Anton Cup." The commentator of Anton Satellite TV mentioned it for everyone. Old things. "Today's game is really a gathering of old friends!"

"Aha! In this round, our Jiaxiang High School will go first!" Wu Yue said happily as he slapped his thigh in the stands.

Yan Yan, who was sitting next to him, pointed to his surroundings: "I told you to pay attention, you are all from our Dongchuan Middle School on the front, back, left, and right sides. You are so arrogant and careful that you can't get out of the stadium."

Wu Yue turned his head to look around, and the former members of the Dongchuan Middle School team all grinned at him, showing their white teeth.

He laughed dryly: "Don't you guys support Flashing Star?"

"Of course I support it." Yan Yan said, "In the eyes of our Dongchuan Middle School graduates, the perfect ending of this game is that Luo Kai scored a goal against Wang Guangwei's defense, while Hu Lai faced the Nanhai team's defense. Zhong scored twice, and Flash Star finally defeated Nanhai team 2:1 and won the victory, shortening the point gap with the number one Nanhai team. What do you think?"

Wu Yue twitched the corners of his mouth, but still bravely retorted: "No. In the eyes of me, a graduate of Jiaxiang High School, the perfect ending of this game is that Luo Kai frequently runs into walls on the King's side, and finally changed his attack. direction, scored, and then Hu Lai scored twice to help the Flash Star beat the South Seas. You see, everyone is happy."

"Then why did our Luo Kai lose to your Wang Guangwei?" Yan Yan asked back.

"It's not big brother, is it boring for you to argue? Why can't we win once together with Jiaxiang?"

Yan Yan didn't continue to compete with Wu Yue, because he saw that on the court, the attack from Flash Star's side hit the front of the Nanhai team's penalty area.

Wu Yue also immediately abandoned the positions of his respective schools, and stood in the same trench as Yan Yan. He stood up and shouted: "Hu Lai!"

It was the last name he ever wanted to hear.

"The Nanhai team threw a sideline ball, but they failed to make an attack. Their ball was intercepted by Anton Xingxing, who took the opportunity to launch an attack! It's dangerous, hurry back to defend!" Nanling Satellite TV commentator saw this scene He shouted anxiously.

Qin Lin didn't give the Nanhai team a chance to return to defense, and only used a long pass to accurately find Chen Xingyi who had already rushed forward.

Chen Xingyi unloaded the football beautifully, and then dribbled it horizontally.

During this process, Hu Lai had already rushed towards the penalty area, and was about to cross Chen Xingyi's dribbling route.

Beside him, the Nanhai team players followed closely, preventing Hu Lai from getting the ball easily.

Of course, in this case, Chen Xingyi didn't have to pass the football to Hu Lai.

He could use Hu Lai's running position to help him take away the opportunity of the defensive force and try to shoot.

So he kicked around and shot!

But the Nanhai team's defense was very tight. The Nanhai team's No. 5 central defender Zou Zhongxue, who blocked Chen Xingyi from the front, stretched out his foot to block, and the football hit his leg and bounced off!

The football that popped out fell back to the midfield, and Zhang Qinghuan, who followed up in time, took the first step to control it. Flashing star took advantage of the situation and launched a second attack.

Hu Lai, who had just run forward to pull away the defensive players for Chen Xingyi, saw this, but did not go to meet Zhang Qinghuan immediately. That intention would be too obvious, and he had to wait until more people came up to help him spread out the defense attention.

At the same time, Qin Lin had already pressed forward, and the two full-backs of Shanxing also moved forward at the same time, one left and one right.

But the players of the South China Sea team are also returning to defense. It seems that Flash Star is going to turn the fast break into a positional battle.

When Chen Xingyi failed to shoot, he quickly retreated to widen the angle, and at the same time asked Zhang Qinghuan for the ball with gestures.

Zhang Qinghuan did turn to him, and made the gesture of passing the ball to him, but it was just a false trick to trick the South China Sea players who were intercepting him head-on to shift their focus.

After the opponent was really deceived, he pulled the ball in a V shape again, turned the football in another direction, broke through with the ball, and went straight into the penalty area!

His action prevented the players of the South China Sea team who had just returned to defense in a hurry to organize a complete direction, and could only rush to fight.

All of a sudden, two players came forward to block him. One was central defender Zou Zhongxue who had just blocked Chen Xingyi's shot, and the other was his "old friend", the right defender Feng Lei of the Nanhai team.

The two of them seemed to be closing the door in front of Zhang Qinghuan. If Zhang Qinghuan insisted on breaking through, then the ball would be overwhelming!

But Zhang Qinghuan didn't want to be followed by others... He just went straight and passed the football between the two South China Sea players!

Behind that door, there is an empty space.

Hu Lai, who was still on the left before, was making a high-speed diagonal thrust, rushing towards the football!

"Don't let him shoot!" Nanhai team goalkeeper Xie Fang moved to the near corner and shouted.

What reassured him a little was that Liu Gan, another central defender of the team, did not lose his goal, and still followed him every step of the way, stuck inside him!

If Hu Lai wanted to shoot directly, then Liu Gan would shovel it down decisively, blocking his shot with his body just like Zou Zhongxue did just now.

And if Hu Lai didn't shoot directly, then he would post it, so that he would never have a chance to shoot again in this attack!

Hu Lai adjusted his pace while running, which was obviously about to shoot directly.

Liu Gan stared at his right leg, lowered his center of gravity, and was ready to throw his body out at any time, blocking his shot with his leg or back!

He saw that Hu Lai's left leg was striding hard, stuck a certain distance behind the rolling football, and at the same time swung his right leg.

He confirmed that Hu Lai was going to shoot directly! Because Hu Lai's range of swinging his feet is almost impossible for him to have any follow-up possession of the ball... So he threw his body out, shoveled towards the football, and at the same time covered the angle of Hu Lai's shot!

But Hou Lai didn't shoot!

Although his swung right leg was indeed a shooting action, when it came into contact with the football, there was a very obvious retraction action, and then he used the inside of his foot... to pull the football back!

Instead of smashing the ball, it was a swipe of the ball, causing the football to roll to his left from behind his left leg, which was only supporting his body!

Then he turned!

Because the shooting action before was too realistic, the center of gravity was unstable, and he staggered under his feet. He had to use his hands to support the ground while turning around to maintain balance.

This makes his "Francis turn" look a little embarrassed.

Liu Gan slipped and fell to the ground, staring at the embarrassed Hu Lai, dumbfounded, then brushed past him and slid forward.

He hasn't forgotten to look back.

Under his gaze, the stumbling Hu Lai straightened up again, caught up with the football and swung his right leg again!

This time, it was no longer a feint, he slashed the football with the outside of his right foot!

shoot!

The football draws an arc, avoids the hand of the goalkeeper Xie Fang who turns back and jumps, and rushes into the goal!

The whole Provincial Sports Center cheered thunderously!

Luo Kai, who was halfway back to the defense, stopped when he saw this scene.

Soon Wang Guangwei ran past him cheering, and ran towards Hu Lai who scored with open arms.

Looking at the back of him running away, Luo Kai thought of what he said to himself before:

You are not the only one who becomes stronger!
