Lai Zekai, who started the game in this game, was really working hard. He knew that this was the opportunity he had always wanted. If he could score a goal in the game, it would reduce Hu Lai's weight in the head coach's mind.
From the first minute of the game, Lai Zekai was very active in running and looking for opportunities.
Many fans of Lai Zekai couldn't help crying: "Who said our brother Lai can't do his best? His performance in this game will shatter all such rumors!"
However, in the opinion of the commentators and guest commentators, Lai Zekai cared too much about scoring goals. He would shoot as soon as he got the ball. He always only thought about himself and did not care about his teammates around him. This actually put the Stars' offense into trouble.
Fortunately, in the first half, Shining Star took advantage of a corner kick and center back captain Li Tielin scored with a header, giving Shining Star a 1:0 lead at home. Otherwise, Shining Star might have fallen behind.
Because after the start of the second half, Youjiang Honglian's counterattack was very fast and menacing. After the relegation team adjusted at halftime, it was like a collective fight. After all, Flashing Star was only one goal ahead of them, as long as they could score a goal
, you can equalize the score.
Even if we can't win in the end, it's good to draw with Shining Stars away from home and get a point. Every point on the road to relegation is precious.
In this kind of game situation, it seems very irrational for Lai Zekai to squander Flash Star's offensive opportunities again and again...
There were even fans in the stands who couldn't help but booed his performance.
After booing, they still cursed.
"Damn! You still have the nerve to stay on the court after this performance! Get off quickly! Let Hu Lai play!"
"That's right! Get down here! You'll be kicked like shit!"
The ones who booed and cursed were the teammates of the Dongchuan Middle School football team organized by Yan Yan.
Their boos and curses quickly aroused the resonance of other Flash Star fans around them.
So some people followed them and booed Lai Zekai.
Lai Zekai became even more anxious when he heard the boos.

On the sidelines of the coaching bench, Chen Mo was saying to head coach Zhao Kangming: "Old Zhao, I don't think we can continue to let Lai Zekai start just because we want to reduce the pressure on Hu Lai. He has obviously gone crazy..."
Zhao Kangming nodded and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, I forgot to take into account Lai Zekai's mentality. I thought Hu Lai's goal could stimulate him and they could form a healthy competition... Who would have thought that Lai Zekai was really resting on his laurels?
It’s so comfortable that I no longer want to compete.”
"It may not be that I don't want to, but it may also be that I don't dare." Chen Mo snorted. "I'm afraid that the truth will be exposed. I have already said that Lai Zekai's outbreak last season was accidental. He is not the kind of forward that suits our tactics.
My ability to seize opportunities is too poor..."
While the two were talking, Lai Zekai finally scored a goal amidst boos on the field.
But just when he was celebrating with excitement, the referee's rapid whistle and the linesman's flag raised high poured cold water on him - he was offside when receiving the ball, and the goal was invalid!
Lai Zekai, who was in ecstasy, was shocked at first when he saw this. Then he rushed towards the linesman who raised the flag with an angry face and yelled at him: "Where was I offside? Are you blind!?"
The linesman didn't argue with him, but called the referee through the headset.
At the same time, other teammates of Flashing Star also rushed up and dragged Lai Zekai out desperately, for fear that he would make any drastic action again.
Even Wang Guangwei was anxious to go up and help drag people away.
Because if Lai Zekai really gets a red card because of his excitement... then Hu Lai might not have a chance to play.
Fortunately, Qin Lin had already rushed forward and persuaded Lai Zekai to come back.
Lai Zekai could pretend to be crazy in front of other teammates, but he didn't dare to do it in front of Qin Lin. Although he was very unhappy, Qin Lin still pushed him back.
The referee didn't intend to let Qin Lin go just like that, and directly showed him a yellow card after coming over!
This time, Yan Yan and the others no longer needed to set the pace in the stands, and the boos were much louder than before.
How much of this was issued for Lai Zekai's erratic behavior, and how much of it was due to the referee's yellow card, is unknown.
"No, we can't let Lai Zekai stay on the court anymore. Call Hu Lai and let him play!" Zhao Kangming saw this scene on the court and frowned and ordered Chen Mo next to him.
Without saying a word, Chen Mo turned to the bench and looked for Hu Lai.
※※※
"This ball, Lai Zekai was almost five or six meters offside before catching the ball... The offside is very clear, I don't think there is anything to argue about at all. He is so irrational, it will only put the team into an unfavorable situation..."
The narrator is also complaining.
Guest commentator Lu Guanlin analyzed: "I guess it's because he didn't score in a row, which put pressure on him and made him restless..."
"It's not a matter of two games if he doesn't score. Why are you starting to get impatient now?"
"Because he couldn't score goals before, and other strikers couldn't score goals, and no one could threaten his position. It's different now. Hu Lai just came on as a substitute in the last game... He obviously feels for Hu Lai
When the pressure comes, look, wasn't Hu Lai called up from the bench by the assistant coach?"
At this time, the TV broadcast cut to the bench of Shining Star. Sure enough, the assistant coach of Shining Star turned his back to the camera and hooked toward the bench, and then Hu Lai stood up from the bench.
"Yeah!" Xie Lan cheered after seeing this scene in front of the TV, but she did not go to take the video with her mobile phone.
Because she felt that she needed to adjust her mentality. Her son would definitely appear frequently in the future. So, should she use her mobile phone to record every appearance?
Let’s not talk about whether the storage space of her mobile phone can be accommodated. Just say that she has to record her son every time he appears. Wouldn’t that give people the feeling that they have never seen the world?
She just stared at the TV screen. Instead of recording it with her mobile phone, she might as well keep this scene in her mind.

When Marvin shoveled the football from the opposing player out of the sideline, the referee raised his hands in the air and made a substitution gesture.
The fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines.
Number nine is down, number thirty-three is up.
"Finally, Flash Star completed the first substitution of the game. This was only the 55th minute of the game. The young player Hu Lai, who scored a goal for the team as a substitute in the last game, once again
He came on as a substitute, and the one he replaced was still Lai Zekai!"
"Hu Lai is on the stage! Hu Lai is on the stage!"
"Quick, take out the banner!" Yan Yan quickly directed his former teammates to shake out the banner they had prepared in advance.
While they were busy, other Stars fans in the stands applauded and cheered for Hu Lai's appearance.
Chen Jianyu saw this scene in the media box and laughed helplessly.
He wrote that article to hope that everyone would calm down and view the emergence of a new star.
But it seems that everyone obviously did not understand what he meant, or it may be that Chinese fans have long been accustomed not to think about the long-term future, but to get drunk tonight if they have wine tonight.
In fact, the fans cannot be blamed for this. After all, if we take a long-term view, then all Chinese fans will not be able to watch the football happily, because no matter how happy you are now, when the World Cup qualifiers come,
It will always make you laugh.
There are always people who accuse those Chinese fans who are elated about winning a game or scoring a goal that they have not seen the world. They can always find many reasons that are not worth celebrating for the victory in front of them. But they have never thought about the Chinese fans.
After suppressing it for so long, can't you still be happy about the happy things in front of you?
As a senior football media person and practitioner, Chen Jianyu is naturally accustomed to looking at and thinking about problems in a high-level way.
So he also made a common mistake that people like him make in this matter.
Most fans will think that nothing bad has happened in the future anyway, so why can't we have fun now?
So when you see a young player with outstanding performance suddenly appear in the Stars, you will naturally start to pay attention to him, like him, and cheer for him.
This is just human nature...
He shook his head and turned his attention to Hu Lai.
I hope this kind of attention and love will not turn into huge pressure and burden. Young people don't seem to be strong, so don't be unable to hold on.
※※※
Hu Lai was not wearing a red bracelet when he ran on the field.
The first game is because everything is difficult at the beginning, so I need the help of a lucky bracelet.
Now that he has scored a goal, his mentality is naturally different. Hu Lai feels that now he can try not to rely on the help of luck and see how his own strength performs in professional games.
His performance after coming off the bench in the last round gave him some confidence.
It's not about the goal, but the things other than the goal that made Hu Lai feel that he should be able to handle it.
In this game, because they were already one goal behind, Youjiang Honglian moved higher in order to equalize the score. This resulted in a lot of space behind them. In fact, as long as they could pass the ball behind them, they would have a chance.
After all, he is good at inserting people into space behind him.
It's just that passing the ball... he can't control it.
So I can only wait patiently for the opportunity.
※※※
After Hu Lai came on the field, Youjiang Honglian threw a foul ball and the game continued.
Facing the shrinking Shining Star, the Red Lotus team did not kick the football directly into the frontcourt. They had tried this before, but the effect was not very good. So they simply passed the ball back from the backcourt until it reached the goalkeeper's feet.
Flash Star foreign aid forward Macaulay Murphy chased the football and rushed towards the opponent's goalkeeper.
This gave the Guren team's goalkeeper no chance to adjust after receiving the ball and rethink how to organize the offense. Instead, he directly kicked the football towards the frontcourt with a big kick.
Seeing the football flying over, Wang Guangwei roared: "Mine!"
He rushed forward, jumped high towards the football, and pushed the football back before the opponent's forward could catch the ball.
The football pushed back by Wang Guangwei fell between Qin Lin and the opponent's midfielder.
When Wang Guangwei pushed the football over, Qin Lin did not watch the ball. Instead, he quickly raised his head and glanced behind Youjiang Honglian's back line.
He noticed that just at the far end of Youjiang Honglian's back line, there was a looming figure wearing a red jersey...
Then he looked away and rushed forward to meet the flying football.
At the same time, the opponent's midfielder did the same, and the two rushed towards the football at the same time, fighting for the ball.
In the end, Qin Lin got there first, but the opponent's players also stepped forward, and it looked like they were about to have a kick!
Without thinking, Qin Lin picked up his right foot and kicked the football behind Honglian's far-end defense.
The force is so fierce that it looks like a powerful swipe at the ball out of desperation, just a frontcourt clearance to not let the football fall at the opponent's feet...
When everyone's eyes and TV broadcast cameras moved along with the football, they were surprised to find that behind Youjiang Honglian's back line, a red figure shot towards the football like an arrow from a string!
"It's Hu Lai!!" the commentator shouted!
At the same time, the guest next to him, Lu Guanlin, quickly glanced at the linesman at the top of the screen and found that he was just running along without raising the flag!
On the other hand, most of Youjiang Honglian's defenders stood still, raising their hands to signal to the referee that player No. 33 of Flash Star was offside.
Only two players turned around and chased Hu Lai.
"It's not offside!" Lu Guanlin yelled. "This ball is not offside!"
Yan Yan and others in the stands saw Hu Lai running towards the football. They couldn't help but stand up from their seats. They didn't bother to wave the banners in their hands. They even forgot to shout and just stayed blank.
Watching the scene on the court.
Deafening shouts had already sounded from the stands of the Andong Provincial Sports Center!
※※※
Hu Lai's speed is not very fast, but this time he was too decisive to prevent offside - he didn't even turn his head to confirm the linesman's signal. Once he made the move, he never looked back, as if he never doubted that he would be offside.
——So he and the nearest pursuer opened a distance of almost ten meters.
Such a huge distance is enough to make any defensive player despair...
Even the Honglian players chasing after them knew in their hearts that the goal was just a one-on-one between their goalkeeper and the opponent's No. 33, and they couldn't do much to help...
"Single sword!!"
Amid the shouts of the commentator, Hu Lai caught up with the football and then pushed the football into the penalty area.
At the same time, Youjiang Honglian's goalkeeper abandoned the goal and attacked, but he did not rush to Hu Lai in one breath. Instead, he slowed down when he ran near the penalty spot. He seemed to be hesitant, not sure whether Hu Lai would
If you pass him, you will still shoot directly...
Just when he hesitated, Hu Lai took a decisive shot!
He raised his right foot and shot the ball, making a not too obvious arc. He just bypassed the goalkeeper who was diving sideways, and rushed in from the near corner of the goal!
When Qin Lin suddenly sent a through ball forward, the shouts that rang out in the Provincial Sports Center suddenly increased in volume like a carp jumping over a dragon's gate, turning into thunderous cheers and soaring into the sky.
On the North Third Ring Road in Jincheng, which is dozens of meters away from the Provincial Sports Center, people in every car passing by with their windows open can clearly hear the cheers, like bursts of thunder, rolling from the northern sky
