Hu Lai scored four goals in the match against Lin Chunhongqi, which not only brought his total league goals this season to 28, but also scored four goals in a single game for the first time in his career.
At most, he could score three goals in one game, complete a hat trick, and score four goals. This has never happened.
After the game, because of his amazing performance, everyone began to face up to what he had said before.
He said that he would become Wang Xianke's retribution.
He also said that he would beat Wang Xianke every time he saw him in the future.
Some of those who had ridiculed Hu Lai unscrupulously before could no longer laugh.
Although there is a huge gap in strength between the Chinese League One and the Chinese Super League, Hu Lai has also proven in the FA Cup that he also has excellent scoring ability when facing the Chinese Super League teams.
Because he is not the kind of player who needs to have the ball at his feet to threaten the opponent's goal.
He is the kind of player who is always waiting for opportunities and seizing them.
With his high efficiency, he doesn't need many opportunities to score goals.
How could the Chinese Super League team not give Hu Lai a single chance in a game?
Not to mention that behind Hu Lai there were Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi, and Qin Lin, delivering shells and creating opportunities for him.
So Hu Lai is not making angry words, he is making promises.
Whether this promise can be fulfilled, no one knows yet.
But this is definitely not nonsense that can be laughed at casually.

Four days later, Flash Star welcomed their last league opponent, Nanling Nanan Jinpeng, at home.
This team, which was still playing in the Chinese Super League last season, has performed very poorly after being relegated to the Chinese Super League this season and has long lost its qualification to advance to the Super League.
Today they are ranked fifteenth and have successfully avoided relegation ahead of schedule. They are completely in a state of wanting nothing.
Hu Lai's performance in this game was not as impressive as the previous one, but he still scored twice and scored two goals. He also completed his second league assist this season, helping Chen Xingyi score his goal.
The thirteenth goal in the league.
In the end, the Flash Stars defeated their opponents 3:1 at home and ended the season with 13 consecutive league wins, the longest winning streak in team history.
They ranked first in the league with 86 points, seven points ahead of the second-placed Lingnan Nanhai. Yes, Lingnan Nanhai finally caught up in the final sprint and ranked second with 79 points, while they were originally on the same points.
However, Ningtian Yongan did not win in the final round, accumulating 77 points and losing the qualification by two points.
In this way, the final two promotion places in the Chinese League One this season were won by Flash Star and Nanhai teams.
Flash Star performed well in the Chinese League One this season. With 81 goals, they became the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the league. At the same time, with 17 goals conceded, they became the team with the fewest goals conceded in the league.
.
It can be said that they have the sharpest spear and the strongest shield. It is no wonder that they will become the league champion.
Flash Star has also become a "double champion" in a special sense, winning both the Chinese League One and the FA Cup in one season. This "double crown" is even harder to win than the Chinese Super League's double crown.
After all, it is actually easier for a Chinese Super League team to win the FA Cup than for a Chinese League One team to win the FA Cup...
Hu Lai scored a total of 30 goals in the Chinese League One this season, greatly improving the original record of 22 goals.
This record may not be matched for a long time to come.
This season is Hulay's first full season and the second season of his career.
When everyone was worried about him hitting the "rookie wall", he actually handed over 30 goals and two assists in the league, 11 goals and one assist in the FA Cup, and five goals for the national team (although he participated in the East Asian Cup as a member of the Olympic team,
But it is a national team in name, so it counts as national team goals), and the Olympic team’s three-goal score sheet.
Forty-nine goals are shining and dazzling. Let alone the Chinese League One, no one in the Chinese Super League can achieve such results.

Although all the games were played, the Flash Star team did not disband. After a day's rest, all the players and coaches of the team took a plane together with the club's general manager Dong Wen and flew to the capital to participate in the Chinese League One.
of the award ceremony.
Unlike the Football Association Cup and the Chinese Super League, the trophy award ceremony for the Chinese League One champions is not held on the playing field. Instead, it has to wait until all the games have been played and then be unified and awarded at one awards ceremony.
As a champion, naturally no one can be absent. Players who are registered in the league must attend the awards ceremony with the team to receive their medals.
In this award ceremony, Flash Star was undoubtedly the biggest winner.
In addition to winning the 2023 Chinese League Championship, they also won the Club Culture Construction Award because their home atmosphere is the best in the Chinese League and their average attendance is the highest among the 18 teams in the Chinese League.
Dong Wen, the general manager of Flash Star Club, also won the Outstanding Manager Award, which is specially awarded to club managers who have outstanding achievements in club operations.
Flash Star is not a very big club, and it does not have the support of a very wealthy financial backer. It can win the double championship of China League One and FA Cup with limited investment. Naturally, it is inseparable from Dong Wen, the general manager of the club.
The hustle and bustle and superb methods behind it.
The award for Best Business Maintenance also belongs to Flashing Star.
The Jincheng Division, home of Flash Stars, won the Most Popular Division Award. Based on their average attendance, especially in the second half of the league, they deserved this award.
The above are the club awards won by Flash Star.
In terms of individual awards, Flashing Star is still the biggest winner.
Zhao Kangming won the best coach award. He led the Flash Stars to win double championships in the Chinese League One and the Football Association Cup. It is well deserved to say that he is the best coach in the Chinese League One this season.
In addition, Hu Lai became the most dazzling star at this awards ceremony. He won four awards by himself, namely best player, best scorer, best local scorer, and most popular player.
When he came to the stage to receive the trophy for the best local shooter, the female host joked: "Hey, Hu Lai, don't go down, wait here for a moment, we will award the next awards to you, so that you don't
Run to the stage one at a time."
Everyone in the audience burst into laughter, among which the Flash Star players laughed the most.
But Luo Kai, who came to the award ceremony with Nanhai coach Pan Hongwei, did not smile.
He just went up to receive his own trophy, the Rookie of the Season Award.
For him, this was originally a very important honor, a great encouragement and recognition.
He won the fierce competition with Chen Xingyi. Both of them performed very well. They even scored exactly thirteen goals and ten assists in the same excellent league.
However, the organizing committee considered that Luo Kai did not have the help of players such as Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan, and Qin Lin in Nanhai, which could better illustrate his ability, so it gave this award to Luo Kai.
But for Luo Kai, he was not very happy.
First of all, Hu Lai won this award last season.
Secondly, take a look at the awards Hu Lai won this season...
That’s the real grand prize!
In front of others, my Best Newcomer Award feels like a consolation prize.
With a straight face, he saw the host announcing in the audience: "The most popular player... Hu Lai!!"
There was a burst of warm applause from the audience, mixed with cheers and whistles from the Flash Star players.
"Top scorer Hu Lai!"
There were applause, cheers and whistles again.
"The best player is Hu Lai!!"
Applause, cheers, whistles and laughter.
The reason for the laughter was that Hu Lai couldn't hold the four trophies with both hands, so he could only hold them in front of his chest.
The beautiful female host handed the microphone to his mouth: "How about you give an acceptance speech?"
Hu Lai asked: "One award or four awards?"
The host was stunned. He didn't expect Hu Lai to be so rude, and the audience burst into laughter.
"Four-in-one!" Fortunately, the host had also experienced the storm and reacted immediately, humorously resolving the embarrassment she had just been stunned by.
Hu Lai just held the four trophies and said seriously: "I just want to thank my teammates and coaches here, and the Flash Star Club. As a forward who can only score goals, without you, I am nothing.
I thank Director Zhao for bringing me here from Poseidon Club..."
Chen Mo in the audience muttered to Zhao Kangming: "Fortunately, he didn't say 'Thank God, thank Poseidon', nor did he say thank you Sun He..."
Zhao Kangming was happy when he heard this.
"I am also grateful to Mr. Dong of Flash Star Club, who signed me."
Dong Wen was sitting in his seat, holding the best manager trophy he had just received, looking at Hu Lai on the stage with a smile.
He once thought that signing Qin Lin was his proudest signing.
But now it seems that agreeing with Zhao Kangming's recommendation and signing a little-known Poseidon youth team player may be his most proud achievement since taking up the position of general manager of Flash Star Club.
Many years later, when Hu Lai became famous, when people visited the beginning of his career, they would not miss his name.
"I would also like to thank every one of my teammates and coaches in the club, but I'm sorry that I can't read their names here one by one, not because my gratitude is not sincere, but because I'm afraid of saying them all.
Will be scolded..."
In just a few words, everyone in the audience burst into laughter, and the female host on the stage laughed so hard that she almost couldn't hold the microphone.
"Finally..." Hu Lai said after the laughter subsided, "I would also like to thank my mother... and my father. When I was a child, my father didn't let me play football. At that time, I didn't understand why. Later, it wasn't until I decided to go
Only after playing professional football did I understand the reason..."
When Hu Lai said this, the people who were overjoyed before gradually became silent and looked at him seriously.
Everyone knows what he is talking about.
The smile on the female host's face also disappeared. She pursed her lips tightly and held the microphone for Hu Lai, as if listening carefully.
"When I was going to play football, I had a big fight with my dad. He told me about the cruelty of professional football, using himself as an example..."
In front of the TV, Xie Lan pointed at the screen and said to Hu Lixin: "He shook everything out."
Hu Lixin snorted: "I can't cover his mouth."
Xie Lan smiled.
"I fully understood the cruelty of professional football from my dad. My dad may have wanted to scare me, but I went anyway. I didn't have the idea of 'playing professional football to make a lot of money, and then become popular and drink spicy food.
I think of driving a sports car and living in a mansion to play professional football. I know how many traps and dangers there are in this industry. I have always maintained such a vigilance...and all this was taught to me by my dad. Some people on the Internet said that my dad
He is a loser and laughs at him as a loser..."
Xie Lan secretly glanced at her husband and found that he frowned slightly.
She was thinking in her heart, son, how can you say anything with such a lousy mouth? This is being broadcast live on TV... There is no other pot to be opened or raised!
"But I want to say..." Hu Lai suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "So what? If my dad fails, he is still my dad. And failure... is his successful dad!"
"Okay! Hu Lai is awesome!!" Zhang Qinghuan shouted loudly in the audience.
Next to him were Wang Guangwei and Chen Xingyi who were slapping each other hard.
More people applauded enthusiastically.
Holding four trophies, Hu Lai stood in the center of the stage, bowed to everyone amidst thunderous applause, and when he stood up again, he smiled brightly.
