Hu Lai's hat trick completely destroyed Haizhou Fangda. Before the end of the game, they conceded another goal, this time an own goal.
Shining Star finally defeated Haizhou Fangda 5:0 at home, and Hu Lai was replaced before the end of the game again.
But this early substitution was different from the previous substitutions due to exhaustion of physical energy, even though he did not have much physical energy left...
Zhao Kangming replaced him just to let him accept the cheers and applause of the home Stars fans alone.
This is his exclusive ment.
When he was substituted, all the Stars fans stood up and applauded and cheered for him.
Amid thunderous applause, Hu Lai walked off the field, raised his hands and applauded the fans in the stands, with a bright smile on his face, like a little sun in this night game.
Wang Guangwei stood on the court, hands on hips, looking at Hu Lai's back.
It's really amazing. I hated him so much at first, but now I see this scene, but I feel really happy for him...
This kid!
No, you must ask him to treat you to dinner!
And never invite him around the university town, let him go to the high-end restaurant on Senwei Road to bleed money!

While Chen Jianyu in the media gallery applauded Hu Lai, the small open space covered with grass and dilapidated appeared in front of his eyes.
This imaginative reporter couldn't help but wonder: After the boy shot the football toward the goal alone in the open space, would he raise his hands and imagine that he heard cheers coming from all directions and saw thousands of
Waving his hands in front of himself...
If so, I wonder if he thought at that time that one day he would really see ten times or a hundred times thousands of pairs of hands waving in front of him and applauding him?
Why are dreams always praised enthusiastically by people countless times? Isn't it because it is so beautiful?
It brings people hope and guides them to pursue it. In the process, those who pursue their dreams become better and better...
They pursue the light and become the light themselves.

Peng Hao turned his head in surprise and looked at the Haizhou Fang University fans next to him. They all stood up at this time and were applauding Hu Lai after he came off the field.
Just like those Twinkle Star fans in the distance.
But aren’t they fans of Haeju Fangda? Aren’t they supposed to hate Hu Lai who scored three of their goals?
Why did you applaud him instead?
Peng Hao, who was standing there motionless, also attracted the attention of the people around him. They turned to look at the dull Peng Hao, thinking that he was a comrade who couldn't accept the team's defeat to Flash Star, so they advised: "Oh!
, Young man, don’t take it too seriously. If your skills are not as good as others, you will lose if you lose... Be open-minded, No. 33 played really well, there is nothing to say, don’t be too stingy when you should applaud.
People say we can’t afford to lose.”
When Peng Hao heard what the other party said, he clapped his hands hard and shouted loudly: "Okay! Good game!"
I finally found an opportunity to cheer my cousin upright.
Cousin is awesome!
Ever since his cousin dared to fight with three people alone when he was a child, he knew that his cousin was awesome...
The Haizhou Fangda fans nearby looked at the young man whose hands were red and advised him: "It doesn't have to be like this..."
※※※
"Wow, the fans of Haizhou Fangda are also applauding Hu Lai!" When the game was broadcast to the fans of the away team in the stands, the commentator of Anton Satellite TV exclaimed.
In the picture, fans wearing Haizhou Fangda jerseys also applauded Hu Lai with serious expressions.
They were in a bad mood after losing the game, so they couldn't smile.
But even so, they still stood in front of their seats and applauded Hu Lai, who scored three of their goals.
"This scene is not common..." guest commentator Lu Guanlin said with emotion. "Hu Lai has conquered the fans of Haizhou Fangda with this hat trick. What an amazing young man!"
※※※
Amidst the continuous cheers and applause, Hu Lai finally walked off the field. This process took a little time because he walked very slowly on purpose and wanted to enjoy the Mention more.
But neither the opponent players nor the referee came up to urge him.
Let this young man enjoy the glory brought to him by the first hat trick of his career.
Then he bowed to head coach Zhao Kangming on the sidelines, who was waiting to hug him with open arms, and then went up to hug him.
When Chen Mo saw this scene from the side, he clapped his hands and laughed happily.
Of course, he also waited for Hu Lai's hug and high five.
Then Hu Lai high-fived the coaching staff and teammates on the bench one by one, and finally sat down in his seat.
Zhang Xiaolei and Han Xiangfei gave him thumbs up, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Awesome!"
Hu Lai sat slumped in a chair. Although his laughter was weak, he was still smiling.

Hu Lixin glanced at the time on his phone. It was fifteen past nine. He estimated that the game started at half past seven. Even if there was injury time, it should be over by now.
In other words, he can go home.
In fact, he was bitten so badly by mosquitoes downstairs that he had to smoke desperately and use cigarettes instead of mosquito coils to repel mosquitoes.
Just when he was about to put his phone back, a message popped up on his phone.
[Jincheng Headlines]: In the just-concluded 24th round of the Chinese League One, Flash Star Football Club defeated Haizhou Fangda 5:0 at home. Young player Hu Lai scored three goals in the game, completing his hat-trick
…
The text that can be displayed in the notification pop-up window is limited, but it just displays all the key information - with Hu Lixin's understanding of football, how could he not know that the words "complete the hat" are followed by "trick"?
so……
Hu Lixin's eyes widened.
His son actually completed a hat trick in a professional game!?
He immediately understood what was going on with his wife's scream he just heard downstairs...
After figuring out the reason, Hu Lixin immediately gave up the idea of going home now. Because he could almost imagine that as soon as he opened the door, he would face his wife's saturated show off...
We can't let that woman succeed!
So he turned around and walked back to the flower bed, sat down on the edge of the concrete platform, crossed his legs, lit another cigarette, took one puff and put it at his feet, letting the smoke mist.
At the same time, he did not open the phone again - he could think with his knees that if he opened the phone now, he might be bombarded by pop-ups from several other news and information apps - but chose to look at the lights in the residential building in front of him in trance.
.
There were figures of people in those windows, and there were sounds coming out, including the sound of a mother helping her children with their homework and getting angry, the sound of guests being invited to drink and fistfights at home, the costume drama on the TV in the living room, and the whispers of someone standing on the balcony talking on the phone.
After nine o'clock in the evening, this old residential area was still very lively.
It is the most tender moment in this city.
It would be better if there weren't so many mosquitoes...
Hu Lixin raised his hand and took a deep breath of cigarette, then turned his head and exhaled the smoke around himself.

Li Ziqiang waited for the post-match press conference to finish, then turned off the TV, got up and walked to the bedroom.
At the just-concluded press conference, Hu Lai became the name that reporters rushed to mention.
As the coach who personally took Hu Lai from the Dongchuan Middle School football team to the Poseidon Youth Team, and then from the Poseidon Youth Team to the Flash Stars first team, Zhao Kangming wanted to answer reporters' questions about Hu Lai.
"I have been following him since the first national competition he participated in. Until the second national competition, he led Dongchuan Middle School to win the championship, and he also won the honors of top scorer and best player... I
I know he is very talented, and his performance today proved it. I am happy for him. He deserves all this... He is always the hardest working person in training, so he
He has just come to the team and has won the trust and support of his teammates. I think this is inseparable from his own efforts. After all, although destiny must take luck into consideration, it is also inseparable from self-struggle.
of……"
When watching Zhao Kangming chatting with Hu Lai in front of the camera and making no secret of his admiration for this young man, Li Ziqiang thought of what he said when facing the camera of Anton TV's "People Chronicle" camera crew.
"...Actually, I didn't want to recruit him into the team at first. I wasn't very optimistic about his future...Why did I recruit him again later? I just wanted to give him a chance. It's not a big deal to me.
It's something, but he may need this opportunity very much... I really didn't expect him to work so hard, no, it should be said to be 'desperate'. He trained really hard, because this opportunity was hard-won for him..."
When being interviewed by Chen Jianyu, Li Ziqiang did not brag about his contribution to cultivating Hu Lai. Instead, he bluntly told the interviewer that he actually did not like this person at first.
But when Chen Jianyu asked him why he wanted to recruit Hu Lai to the school team even though he hated Hu Lai, he didn't tell the truth.
Instead, I found a reason that sounded good to me.
He doesn't want the media to know the relationship between Hu Lai and his daughter...
Li Ziqiang, who returned to the bedroom, cast a gentle look at the family photo on his desk.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was his daughter who called, which surprised Li Ziqiang.
I just saw a photo of my daughter and thought of her, so her phone call came. Is this the telepathy between father and daughter?
A smile appeared on Li Ziqiang's face and he answered the phone.
"Dad, Dad...Dad, did you watch the game of Flashing Star just now?"
As soon as the call was connected, my daughter's urgent voice came from the receiver.
It was what he said... that made the smile on Li Ziqiang's face solidify.
"I didn't look." He replied in a calm tone.
"Eh?! How come you didn't read it?!" Upon hearing her father's answer, her daughter's voice rose an octave on the phone.
"Why should I watch a China League One match?" Li Ziqiang asked.
"No... Dad, that's your favorite disciple's game! As his coach, shouldn't you always pay attention to your disciple's situation?"
"Who told you that he is my proud disciple?"
"Isn't it? Dad, you have paid special attention to him since he joined the school team, made targeted plans for him, and imposed strict requirements on him... Dad, if you don't think highly of him, why are you so concerned about him? Just put him
Wouldn’t it be over if he just threw it aside and left to fend for himself? At that time, he had to have basic knowledge but no foundation, and he had ability but no ability. What’s the use of having only talent?”
Hearing what his daughter said, Li Ziqiang was stunned while holding his cell phone.
Li Qingqing was still mumbling on the phone: "...If it weren't for your careful training, dad, what future would Hu Lai have? You have high hopes for him, and you can't bear for him to waste his talents? Since dad, you have spent so much
So much effort has been put into him, and he has finally successfully entered the professional arena. How can you not pay attention to him and watch his games? I saw the news that he scored a hat trick in this game, and I told my dad
Are you calling to inquire about the details of the game... I'm here in Shanhai, and I can't watch the game live at all. And dad, you are within the signal coverage of the Anton TV Sports Channel, so you didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity.
Live, it’s simply…”
Li Ziqiang finally came to his senses. He coughed and interrupted his daughter's criticism of him: "Even if it's what you said, Hu Lai is my proud disciple, then why do you care so much about him?"
Li Qingqing smiled over there: "Dad, Hu Lai is my classmate. I went to Dongchuan Middle School for one semester, and by the time I left, I only made two friends, and Hu Lai was one of them. As a friend
, and he is a friend who has embarked on the same career path as me, so of course I have to pay attention to him."
"Since we are friends, don't you have his contact information?" Li Ziqiang asked casually.
Li Qingqing on the other end of the phone almost blurted out: "He didn't tell me exactly how he scored the goal! He insisted on giving me three meals in exchange!"
But at this moment, a crisis intuition suddenly came to her mind, and her answer changed to: "No, I left in a hurry...and I wanted to have his contact information, so I asked him directly.
Well……"
"You don't even have contact information, and you still claim to be friends?" Li Ziqiang snorted coldly.
"The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, Dad..." Li Qingqing said with a flattering smile, and then followed up: "Anyway, Dad, you should pay more attention to your proud disciple. You don't want to see what you have trained with your own hands.
Can the players who come out achieve any results in professional football?"
Li Ziqiang sighed slightly: "Okay, okay, I will pay attention to that brat..."
※※※
Li Qingqing hung up the phone, switched to WeChat, and looked at the last sentence in the chat record between Hu Lai and himself:
"Want to know? If you want to know if you treat me to three meals, I'll tell you!"
She originally wanted to get information about this game from her father, so that she would not have to bow her head and admit defeat in front of Hu Lai.
As a result, I never expected that my father didn't care about Hu Lai at all and didn't watch his game!
It just pisses me off!
Li Qingqing stared at the phone screen and frowned for a while, then reluctantly typed: "Okay, okay, three meals is all. Anyway, you owe me a lot, so I'll pay it!"
Finally, I carried it all alone...
※※※
Whether it is the Chinese League One forum of the "Goal" website, the campus football forum, or the message pop-up window of the "Goal" website, there is news about Hu Lai's hat trick in the game that just ended.
When Chen Xingyi saw these news, he was extremely lucky that he had blocked Hu Lai long ago, otherwise he might have been attacked by Hu Lai again...
Wasn't it just that when he was first selected into the squad, he came to show off and was slapped in the face by himself?
Why is this man so vindictive!
But it doesn’t matter how much you hold grudges, you’re all blocked anyway…
Thinking of this, Chen Xingyi relaxed and entered WeChat, and then found that someone had posted a new Moments in the Moments, and the avatar of the person who posted the Moments surprised him - it was Wang Guangwei!
Based on his understanding of Wang Guangwei, he knew that although this person had WeChat, he never posted in Moments.
If you only look at the circle of friends, you will not remember that you have added him. But you can see his name in the address book, and you can definitely find someone if you contact him on WeChat. He seems to regard WeChat as a
Use the contact tool again, the advanced version is just a text message...
The sun rises from the north?
People with severe social media phobia actually post on Moments?
Hey, I want to see what he posted on his first WeChat Moment...
Thinking of this, Chen Xingyi reached out and clicked in.
Wang Guangwei's circle of friends is in the first post, just posted.
Wang Guangwei: "Chen Xingyi, Hu Lai asked me to bring you a message..."
Then here is a photo:
Hu Lai stood next to the tactical board in the locker room after the game. The original content on the white tactical board had been erased and a few large words were written on it:
Hat trick, bah!
“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!”
Chen Xingyi wished he could insert his own eyes.
※※※
Wang Guangwei put away his mobile phone and said to Hu Lai: "Hey, I posted on Moments as you asked, and now you want to treat me to two meals."
Hu Lai curled his lips: "Old Wang, you post on WeChat Moments and earn a meal by moving your fingers. You are really awesome..."
"This is my first circle of friends! Isn't it worth a meal?" Wang Guangwei said angrily.
Hu Lai was shocked: "What the fuck? Lao Wang, you gave it to me for the first time?!"
