After Hu Lai scored, the leading Flash Star took advantage of the situation and launched an even more fierce attack on Golden Arrow.
During this period, Golden Arrow was only able to parry and had no power to fight back. Even if they wanted to use a counterattack to sneak up on Flashing Star, it would be difficult to do so.
Because the Flash Stars' offensive was so fierce that they couldn't hold their heads up. It would be great if they could try their best to ensure that they didn't concede the ball. How could they still have the energy to counterattack?
They can only use long balls to try to burn the battle into the opponent's half, but the star-studded defense in general can always control the first and second points of impact.
In the end, Golden Arrow stopped thinking about counterattacks at all. They shrank back and concentrated on defense. At least they didn’t concede another goal at the end of the first half...
In this way, they finally managed to hold on to the 0:1 score until the end of the first half.
"The first half of the game is over! Flashing Star leads Dashun Golden Arrow 1:0 at home! Any viewer who watched the live broadcast of the first half of the game will probably not be surprised by this result. Flashing Star showed at their home court
Terrible control..."
Under He Feng's explanation, on the TV screen, players from both sides were leaving the field.
The television broadcast was firmly focused on Hu Lai.
"Hulay was very active in this first half. Not only did he threaten the Golden Arrow goal many times, but he also scored a goal... That goal was a very typical Hulay goal, which fully demonstrated his agility.
The sense of smell and clever movement..."
He Feng was holding back very hard. He actually wanted to elaborate on why Hu Lai was in such good condition. But the specific content involved some comments about Wang Xianke. As a neutral commentator, it was difficult for him to say some things.
After all, Hu Lai’s accusation against Wang Xianke has not yet been made public. As a commentator, it is not advisable for him to bring in private goods during the game.
It doesn’t matter if he is a commentator for a local station, but he is a commentator for the national media, CCTV.
In the close-up shot, Hu Lai is walking off the court and waving his arms to the stands with a proud smile on his face.

When the Flash Star players happily walked back to the locker room, their head coach Zhao Kangming was already waiting for them there.
Unlike the happy players, Zhao Kangming had a serious expression. After the door to the locker room was closed, he reminded all the players: "Don't be happy too early. We are only leading by one goal. Don't forget, our opponent was once
We have won the league championship. If we take it lightly, we will become the laughing stock in the end... So in the second half, I will continue to put pressure on their goal, insist on pressing high, and strive to score early. As long as we can score another goal, victory will be achieved.
The balance will tip in our favor!"
Including Hu Lai, the players of Flash Star all suppressed the smiles on their faces and listened carefully to Zhao Kangming's speech.
A one-goal lead is not safe. This is true everywhere. Zhao Kangming didn’t need to emphasize it, they knew what to do.
At the same time, in the simple locker room of the visiting team, Wang Xianke was also encouraging the players.
He uncharacteristically refrained from ranting about his team's performance in the first half, even though he really wanted to.
But at the critical moment, reason still prevailed over impulse. He knew that in this situation, if he continued to scold the team, Golden Arrow might collapse first without waiting for Flash Star to take any action.
"...We showed a lack of courage in the first half and were intimidated by the opponent's offensive and did not dare to counterattack. This situation must be changed in the second half. We have already conceded a goal anyway, so what else is there to worry about? Don't worry about the only goal behind you.
If we can quickly equalize the opponent's momentum, we will interrupt it!"
Having said this, he paused for a moment, then glanced around the locker room, and finally landed on a person.
“Jin Yong.”
Jin Yong raised his head when his name was called.
"In the second half, you have only one task, which is to keep an eye on Hu Lai. No matter where he is or what he is doing, you will follow him. Others will fill the gap you leave. You don't have to worry about this problem. I want you to promise to follow him.
Stay close and don't let him get any chance to shoot. Your body is stronger than his. Take advantage of your body."
Jin Yong nodded.
Chai Shun glanced at Jin Yong and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't say anything else.
Since Jin Yong said those words in the locker room that day, Chai Shun has paid special attention to Jin Yong's movements, fearing that he would become a time bomb in the locker room.
At the end, Wang Xianke said to all the players: "The AFC Champions League knockout round is a two-leg match. The opponent is currently only leading by one goal, which does not mean that they have an advantage. As long as we can get an away goal, we can advance.
Gain an advantage in the competition..."
He still considered the two rounds of competition together.
As long as he can eliminate Flash Star in the end, even if there are some twists and turns in the process, it won't be a big deal.
Hulai spoke too fully, which gave him a chance.
Even if Dashun Golden Arrow loses to Flash Star in this game and ends up losing, Golden Arrow will be home in the next whether it is the league or the AFC Champions League.
As long as the Golden Arrows return home and can defeat the Flash Stars, and finally eliminate their opponents and advance to the quarter-finals, it will be equivalent to breaking Hu Lai's rhetoric.
So after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Wang Xianke felt that his winning rate was higher and there was no need to panic.
※※※
Jin Yong looked at Hu Lai, who was standing in front of him. His thin figure looked extremely frail.
But he did not dare to look down upon this person.
He knows that if he is slightly negligent, he may allow the opponent to seize the opportunity to score a goal.
Even though he is dissatisfied with Wang Xianke, it does not mean that he will be merciful to Hu Lai in the game.
Soon, Flashing Star sent a cross. Jin Yong ran up with Hu Lai, and then the two jumped up at the same time. Jin Yong used his physical strength to slightly squeeze Hu Lai away in the air, and then used his headhandle to push Hu Lai away.
The football made a clearance.
Hu Lai, who did not hit the ball, looked back at Jin Yong after landing, then frowned and said: "Brother, you can't do it. You look so strong, how come you knocked me away so much? Let me tell you, brother, I was in high school.
When I was in college, the school team coach gave me strength training, and he suddenly..."
Jin Yong interrupted Hu Lai coldly before he could finish his words: "I've heard it."
“Ah?” Hu Lai didn’t react.
“You’ve already told me the story of your high school coach.”
“Ha…” Hu Lai was a little surprised, “Really?”
"He knocked you five meters away. Do you think I can knock you out five meters?" Jin Yong asked back.
He wanted to use this rhetorical question to make Hu Lai feel better about himself and not to use the same trick on himself again.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai shook his head and said, "I don't think you can, brother."
"You..." Jin Yong was exasperated, "Don't waste your efforts, I won't give you a chance to shoot. I only have one task in the second half, and that is to keep an eye on you."
Hu Lai frowned when he heard this and stopped talking.
Seeing that Hu Lai was speechless for the first time, Jin Yong showed a smile on his face to see what other tricks you have!
※※※
In the next game, Hu Lai really felt how Jin Yong was guarding him every step of the way. It was literally every step of the way.
He also tried to pull out of the penalty area, hoping that the opponent would stay in place because they were afraid of the space being exploited, but a player from Golden Arrow immediately filled Jin Yong's position, so Jin Yong followed him and ran out.
And as a striker who is most threatening in the penalty area, what is the use of him stretching out of the penalty area?
It's better to go back to the penalty area and confront Jin Yong...
By the way, speaking of this...
Hu Lai thought of the targeted training that Lin Ge led them to do.
Because Hu Lai is thin, he is not the kind of player who is good at physical confrontation. When opponents defend him, they will basically start from confrontation, trying to defeat Hu Lai with overwhelming physical advantage.
So Lin Ge’s targeted training naturally includes a lot of training in this situation.
He still remembered what Lin Ge said to him.
Let yourself become a loach, slippery and able to drill.
※※※
Jin Yong found that Hu Lai basically stopped running outside the penalty area, and even got on top of him.
This made him feel very funny.
Like a bean sprout, he actually wants to use his body to defeat himself... How much water has entered his brain to think like this?
Jin Yong, who just defeated Hu Lai verbally, seemed to be still immersed in the joy and sense of accomplishment of victory. He decided to stimulate Hu Lai again. If he could make his mentality collapse, then he would have completed his task ahead of schedule in this game.
.
Thinking of this, he snorted: "Courage is commendable, but very stupid."
Hu Lai turned to look at him and grinned: "Who are you looking down on? Brother? Let me tell you, my strength has also been specially trained by the club, and I am not the same person now. Now, don't say I didn't remind you.
Ah, if you only think about using your body to deal with me, you will regret it!"
Jin Yong showed a contemptuous smile and looked at Hu Lai as if he was mentally retarded.
※※※
Flashing Star's fast break failed, and Golden Arrow's defensive players got into position quickly. So Flashing Star's attack turned into a positional battle.
In a positional battle, Hu Lai naturally had to turn his back to the direction of attack and look for opportunities.
He stood in the middle of the penalty area with Jin Yong behind him, and then it felt obvious that Hu Lai was competing with him.
Jin Yong sneered in his heart, you are still out of breath, right?
With a little effort, he noticed that Hu Lai had been pushed out by him and moved half a step away.
But soon a force came from Hu Lai's body, and the opponent seemed to be trying to squeeze back and regain his position.
Haha, today I will let you see what "one force can defeat ten" means!
Thinking of this, Jin Yong pushed forward again.
But this time, he didn’t feel any force feedback after pushing out. Instead, he lost his center of gravity and staggered!
The power that had been competing with him is gone!
Almost at the same time that Jin Yong pushed forward again, Hu Lai jerked his body to the side, his right shoulder sank, and he let Jin Yong pass.
It's now!
Hu Lai shook Jin Yong away and then quickly turned around. At the same time, Chen Xingyi's pass was also sent over.
It seems that the two people really have a tacit understanding that is difficult for others to understand... Logically speaking, after seeing Hu Lai being entangled by Jin Yong, Chen Xingyi shouldn't just pass the football to Hu Lai, because that would probably
Give the ball away.
But this is how Chen Xingyi spread it.
Moreover, he did not pass the ball after seeing Hu Lai pass Jin Yong, but had already kicked the football into the penalty area before that.
So when Hu Lai turned around, his pass had already flown in front of Hu Lai.
It's a seamless connection, not a second is wasted.
Hu Lai puffed up his chest and took off the football.
There was a sudden burst of cheers from the stands.
“Hulai...nice escape! Opportunity!”
Mao Jun was coming from the side and shoveling hard towards Hu Lai, trying to interfere with him.
Hu Lai seemed completely unaware of what was happening around him. With his head lowered, he seemed to only have football in his eyes.
He looked down at the falling football, raised his right leg, and tilted his body to the left.
Goalkeeper Zheng Donglin rushed forward in an attempt to block the angle of Hu Lai's shot.
Just when he was about to touch the football, Hu Lai's right ankle flicked out... and he pushed the ball!
The football flew past Zheng Donglin’s open arms. Zheng Donglin waved his hand, but failed to touch the ball.
Mao Jun was shoveling over and knocked down Hu Lai who had just finished shooting.
But Hu Lai didn't even look at him, but stared at the direction of his shot.
In his eyes, the football finally reached the finish line after passing through Zheng Donglin, and was caught by the net...
“The ball is scored!!!”
The Provincial Sports Center burst into cheers again!
