Hu Lai's penalty kick at the end of the first half helped Flash Star lead Youjiang Honglian by two goals in the away game.
But he did not stop pursuing goals just because he had already scored one.
In the second half, he continued to shuttle back and forth around Youjiang Honglian's penalty area, making Youjiang Honglian's defenders nervous, fearing that he would find a huge gap at some point...
This is what makes a forward like Hu Lai most annoying to the defensive side.
Players like Chen Xingyi and Zhang Qinghuan are only threatening when they have the ball, so when defending them, if the ball is not at their feet, you can ignore them temporarily, which will be much easier.
But Hu Lai cannot do that. Hu Lai is the kind of player who is still a threat whether he has the ball at his feet or not.
When he doesn't have the ball, he will always look for space. Once he finds the space and the ball reaches his feet, he can immediately shoot and score.
Players like this can't relax even for a second when defending.
Even if he runs to a position where it seems there is no chance of shooting, the defensive players must follow him.
As time goes by, you will inevitably get tired and relax. This kind of relaxation does not mean that you repeatedly emphasize not to underestimate the enemy, because this is not a mental problem, but a physical problem - when players are in a state of fatigue for a long time,
The brain's thinking speed will slow down, and attention will naturally be unable to remain focused and alert.
In the process of defending Hu Lai, a slight negligence may be fatal.
What's more, when you defend Hu Lai, you are very likely to defend not just him, but the offensive system behind him, Chen Xingyi, Zhang Qinghuan, Qin Lin behind him... And Hu Lai, but
It is the ultimate killer of this offensive system.
If you guard Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi, Zhang Qinghuan and Qin Lin behind him will have a chance.
You tried your best to defend Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi and Qin Lin, but you lost Hu Lai.
So it is not that easy to completely freeze Hu Lai.
For example, when the game reached the 70th minute, Flashing Star played this very beautiful attack:
Qin Lin took the ball and handed it to Zhang Qinghuan who was retreating near the center circle.
Zhang Qinghuan used the fake movements of his upper body to deceive the Youjiang Honglian players who were following him and gain room to turn around.
He turned around and faced the direction of the attack, dribbling the ball forward.
Youjiang Honglian had to come up with another person to defend him and block his path forward.
Hu Lai was right in front of him, closest to him, and seemed to be coming up to meet him, but the area where he was was also heavily guarded by Youjiang Honglian. After all, the Youjiang Honglian players who were defending Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan were all concentrated here.
Zhang Qinghuan did not pass the football to him, but sent it diagonally to the other side.
There was Chen Xingyi from the side.
Chen Xingyi received the ball and cut into the penalty area. Facing the Youjiang Honglian defender who came up to block him, he made a beautiful bicycle move to shake the opponent away and continued to rush in, causing all Youjiang Honglian players to rush forward, trying to stop him.
He shoots.
After all, Chen Xingyi has already scored a goal in this game, which shows that he feels very good about shooting.
Zhang Qinghuan, who had passed the ball before, did not continue outside the penalty area, but decisively ran forward diagonally towards the center of the goal.
It also attracted the attention of Youjiang Honglian players who were defending in front of the goal.
Hu Lai, who was supposed to grab the point in front of the goal, did not go there. Instead, he ran in the opposite direction and took away the back point.
Because of the commotion caused by Chen Xingyi in the penalty area, almost all Youjiang Honglian's defensive players did not notice Hu Lai's cool movement and focused on Chen Xingyi and Zhang Qinghuan.
Chen Xingyi seemed to be overwhelmed by Youjiang Honglian's defensive player near the baseline. There was no shooting angle, so he decisively made a pass.
The football flew high and deliberately passed all the players in front of the goal, including Zhang Qinghuan who was outflanking him in the middle. Even if he jumped hard, there was no chance of his header hitting the ball.
The football just flew straight to the back point, towards the unmarked Hu Lai!
The series of operations before this wave of Flashing Star's offense, including dribbling the ball and passing the ball to separate sides, have nothing to do with Hu Lai. If you only focus on football and follow the ball, then it will not be possible at all.
Hu Lai will not be seen.
Until this moment!
When the football flew backward, everyone discovered that there was a huge gap there, and it turned out that there was a Hu Lai in that huge gap!
Hu Lai took a step back, opened his arms to maintain balance, and raised his right leg to face the flying football!
Volley without stopping the ball!
To be able to run into position, you must also be able to shoot the football into the goal, otherwise all the previous exquisite coordination and movement will be meaningless.
Thanks to Coach Li Ziqiang of the Dongchuan Middle School Football Team for arranging a large amount of basic training for him, thanks to the system for providing training scrolls that improve the training effect, and thanks to Hu Lai for spending countless hours in boring basic training...
His shot was accurate and hard.
The Youjiang Honglian goalkeeper turned around with the football, although he had reflexively made the save - his reaction was not unpleasant, but the football still flew in from his raised hands and hit the man behind him.
On the net!
"Hu Lai volleyed - beautiful -!! Beautiful!!! Scored twice! Three goals in two league games, three goals in one Football Association Cup, plus five goals in the East Asian Cup... in
In less than thirty days, 11 goals in six games! The average is close to two goals per game! Such Hu Lai is unstoppable!"
Shen Lang, the commentator of Tengfei Video, transformed into "Hu Chui" at this moment.
※※※
After scoring the goal, Hu Lai ran to the corner flag area and made his signature celebration in front of the Youjiang Honglian fans.
Seeing this action, many Youjiang Honglian fans had mixed emotions.
Because just last month in the East Asian Cup, many of them were still excited about this celebration - every time they see Hu Lai making such a celebration on TV, it means that the Chinese team has entered again.
The ball is over.
This set of celebrations appeared in the game against South Korea and in the game against North Korea.
The owner of this celebration helped the Chinese team win the East Asian Cup.
At that time, they were all cheering for Hu Lai and singing praises for Hu Lai.
As a result, now that they are back in the league, Hu Lai's celebration has become their nightmare.
After all, every time it appears, it means that their goal is lost...
Tang Wenming, the head coach of Youjiang Honglian, looked at this scene on the court with a livid face.
Before the game, he successfully aroused the fighting spirit of his players by taking advantage of the problems in the starting lineup of Flash Stars. He thought he could use this momentum to overthrow Flash Stars at his home court.
Who would have thought that the final outcome would be exactly the same as the match between the two sides last season...
It was also a 0:3 game, and Hu Lai scored twice...
For a moment, he thought he had traveled back in time to last year.
※※※
They were beaten 0:3 by Flash Stars in their own home court, which really hurt their morale.
So in the following games, Youjiang Honglian was never able to come back, not even scoring a goal.
Flashstar also slowed down after taking a three-goal lead.
Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi were both replaced one after another.
The two of them sat next to each other on the bench, and both were frequently taken care of by the broadcast cameras.
The two people in the camera are talking about something.
I don't know what Hu Lai said, but Chen Xingyi smiled happily and patted Hu Lai's thigh with his hand.
Shen Lang, the commentator of Tengfei Video who saw this scene, said with emotion: "My former opponents in the high school national competition finals are now sitting on the bench of the same team, chatting and laughing, and we cooperated to score goals in the game. You assisted me,
I assist you... It's really like the plot in Japanese comics. We used to envy the Japanese teenagers' football youth. They chased the same dream with tears and sweat, running all the way from campus to professional football, and eventually became professional players, and even
Stepping onto the stage of the World Cup... and now looking at Hu Lai and Chen Xingyi, I think we Chinese fans don't have to envy others... because we also have our own football youth dream!"
After the referee blew the full-time whistle, the two young men on the bench stood up hand in hand, ran onto the court with the other substitutes, and participated in the victory celebrations.
Especially Chen Xingyi, who jumped into his teammates with open arms, holding Zhang Qinghuan in his left hand and Wang Guangwei in his right hand, shouting excitedly.
He doesn't look like a newcomer who has only joined the team for more than a month, but looks like he has been playing here for at least a season.
Chen Hantang, who saw this scene in front of the TV, couldn't help but applaud, as if he was also watching at the scene.
"...Chen Xingyi, who was on loan from Golden Arrow, performed well in this game, with a goal, two assists, and many successful dribbles, which fully demonstrated his characteristics. The flash of the new season
Xingxing has a frontcourt attacking trident composed of Hu Lai, Chen Xingyi and Zhang Qinghuan, and behind it is Qin Lin holding the halberd... The future of this team is very worth looking forward to!"
Anton Satellite TV's commentator was very happy when he mentioned this paragraph. He still had something to say in his heart that he didn't say out loud for fear of ruining his character:
With this lineup, we should be able to go to the Chinese Super League this season, right?!
It’s time for Andong Province to have a top league team, right?!
