It wasn't until the football flew into the goal that Hu Lai turned his head and glanced at the linesman to confirm whether he was offside.
In fact, even though Hu Lai suddenly moved forward very resolutely, he didn't know whether it was offside or not, and he didn't know whether his cross-cutting and then changing direction was useful. However, as a forward, since he got a chance to stand alone,
Of course, it is not the time to consider whether it is offside. At least you should wait until you shoot the football before thinking about it. Otherwise, if you waste an opportunity that was not offside because you hesitated whether it was offside, wouldn't you regret it to death?
When he saw the linesman turn around and run towards the center line instead of standing there with the flag in his hand, he knew the ball was valid!
So he withdrew his gaze and ran to the corner flag area, where he jumped high for the third time in this game, turned 180 degrees in the air, and then landed firmly, just like a successfully recovered SpaceX rocket.
He can now do this set of celebrations very skillfully.
"Oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck -!!!" The roommate next to Chu Yifan couldn't help but spit out sweet things, like a barrage of words. "You're wearing a hat now?!"
Chu Yifan did not join in their exclamations, but looked straight at Hu Lai in front of the corner flag area with a dazed look in his eyes.
He still remembered that during the last national competition, he made this move for the first time in the competition and fell flat on his back. Later, he had to practice extra for himself on the training ground.
Specially practicing celebration movements is simply crazy... At that time, he was just a substitute in the shadow of Luo Kai, but it seems that from that time on, he believed that he would have many opportunities to show off this set of celebration movements in the future.
.
So sure enough, his extra training was not in vain. No, he did it six times in this national competition!
Every time it is perfect, whether it is the height of the take-off, the stretching of the movements in the air, or the posture of the landing... it is all pleasing to the eye.
At first, everyone didn't understand why Hu Lai had to practice extra celebrations, just like everyone couldn't understand why this kid persisted when faced with the head coach's deliberate difficulty, and why he didn't just leave...
But facts always prove that the efforts put in by this thin figure have never been in vain!
He suddenly shook his head.
That kid Yan Yan was very nervous all day long. He actually didn't believe a lot of things he said, but he only believed those words about Hu Lai.
Why?
Isn’t this scene before me evidence?
This man is the chosen one, and all the previous hardships and frustrations are just tests when heaven gives him a great responsibility... The head coach must have seen the bright spots in his talent, so he has such strict requirements on him.
Even inhumane.
Maybe it's just because the more I value him, the more demanding I have to be so in order to convince others - you see, I even ask my favorite and most trusted players like this, so what excuses and reasons do you have for being so lazy?
Train well and not be strict with yourself?
"How was it?" Chu Yifan, who had come back to his senses, said to his roommates who were still surprised, "Is the performance of the real geniuses of our Dongchuan Middle School okay?"
The roommates first looked at each other, then looked at Chu Yifan together, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly: "Awesome!"
Chu Yifan laughed happily.

On the Shuguang High School bus from the Asian Games Village to the competition venue, someone suddenly exclaimed: "I'm going, what the hell?!"
This sound attracted everyone's attention: "Wang Ziyang, why are you so crazy?"
The man named Wang Ziyang raised his head and said to the teammates who were watching him: "Hurry up and watch the live broadcast of the match between Dongchuan Middle School and Qingyang No.1 High School!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they understood why Wang Ziyang said this.
It was fun to watch it in the cafeteria before, but because the team was about to leave, everyone went back to the dormitory to pack their things and did not watch the next game.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ziyang was still watching the live game on his mobile phone!
Did something happen in this game again?
Some people are already looking for the live broadcast app on their mobile phones.
Others go to the "Goal" website as soon as possible to read the latest news about the game.
Then there were exclamations one after another in the carriage: "Fuck, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
"I am not wrong, right?"
"hat trick?!"
"3:2? This game actually ended like this, a goal battle!"
Chen Xingyi also turned on his mobile phone and paid attention to the game again.
Sure enough, the latest goal news popped up.
After Hulay's name, there are three numbers, representing the time of the three goals respectively.
If he remembered correctly, this should be that kid's first hat trick in a national competition, right?
It's really gratifying and congratulatory. It's the first time in my life and it's so memorable.
Unlike myself, I have worn the hat three times in the national competition, once in each national competition, and I am already a little numb...

On the natural turf court of Nanshan University, Zhou Zijing, a high school student in Qingyang, was breathing heavily and did not forget to cast his eyes on Hu Lai.
hat trick!
It was that boy who completed the hat trick first!
This result made Zhou Zijing very unhappy.
In terms of physical fitness, technique, appearance, and the technical difficulty of scoring goals, how could I not surpass that kid?
One of my goals can make half of the fans in the audience switch sides and become supporters of our Qingyang No.1 High School...
Why was he the one who completed the hat trick first in the end, and not me?!
His goal... is there anything worth mentioning? It's ordinary and has no difficulty. If anyone in his position can score a goal, what's so great about it?
Isn't it just a hat trick?
I'm only one ball away!
Thinking of this, he raised his fist again to encourage his teammates.
But this time, not so many people responded to him.
At this time, more Qingyang No. 1 High School players were holding their knees with both hands, breathing heavily, unable to raise their heads at all, let alone respond to him with high morale.
Seeing this, Zhou Zijing shouted anxiously: "Everyone, hold on! It's just a ball, we can get it back again!"
Wu Xiaodong, who was also breathing heavily, felt a little guilty when he heard Zhou Zijing's words - this should be what he, the captain, should say and do, but now he has to borrow the words of a freshman in high school.
speak out.
So he stood up again, clapped his hands vigorously, and shouted: "Zhou Zijing is right! Just hold on, everyone. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win!"
As he spoke, he patted the shoulders of his teammates one by one.
Pat them awake one by one.
"Although the score is behind, Qingyang Yigao obviously does not intend to give up. Their captain Wu Xiaodong is encouraging his teammates one by one... This is the charm of high school football! Youth! Dreams! Never give up!" Even the commentator was shocked by this.
I was so moved by the scene that I sighed in front of the microphone.

"Oh, let me go. That's right...I want to support Qingyang Yigao!"
"But what the commentator said actually makes sense...isn't this what youth is?"
On the Shuguang High School bus, the players simply watched the live broadcast on their mobile phones.
Everyone was very moved by what the commentator said and decided to discuss it.
"Qingyang Yigao is really tenacious, and that Zhou Zijing is indeed quite capable. Let me tell you, Captain Chen, I think he is still qualified to challenge you!"
Chen Xingyi yawned: "Let's talk about reaching the semi-finals first..."
"Just being behind by one goal, Team Chen may not be able to reach the semi-finals..."
"Yes, yes, with Zhou Zijing's ability, I think he should be able to complete a hat trick..."
Chen Xingyi ignored the questions of his teammates in the car, leaned on the angle between the seat back and the window glass, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When the Dongchuan Middle School players ended their celebration and ran back to their own half, the previously silent fans in the stands started to make noise again, loudly cheering for Qingyang Yigao.
Xia Xiaoyu cast his gaze towards the stands, frowned and shook his head: "It feels like we are playing an away game..."
"Who calls us villains?" Hu Lai said with a smile. "But since we are villains, we must look like villains!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze and looked at Hu Lai.
Not only him, but other Dongchuan Middle School players who were surrounding Hu Lai as he ran back all set their sights on their vice-captain.
Under everyone's attention, Hu Lai said: "A one-goal lead is not safe. We have to score more goals and completely defeat them!"

In the 71st minute, Tang Yuan relied on his speed to force a breakthrough. The Qingyang Yigao player who was guarding him had no physical fitness. Faced with Tang Yuan's sudden start, his foot slipped and he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Tang Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to break into the penalty area - in fact, if the opponent's defender did not lose his position, he planned to pass directly from the bottom.
The breakthrough effect now is surprisingly good.
As he decisively broke into the penalty area, Qingyang Yigao's penalty area became a mess, and everyone was not in their position.
Under such circumstances, when Tang Yuan passed the football to the back, Hu Lai appeared there, unmarked, jumped up and headed the ball towards the goal. It was not surprising at all...
"Tang Yuan broke into the penalty area... opportunity! Hu Lai! The ball went in again! Hu Lai scored his fourth goal of the game! Dongchuan Middle School leads Qingyang Yigao 4:2!"
