A girl, like Hu Lai, wearing the uniform of Dongchuan Middle School, with a football under her feet, stood at the entrance of the secret base, looking at Hu Lai.
Hu Lai did not go to see the girl first, but turned his attention to the football.
He recognized it, it was indeed his football.
Then his eyes fell on the girl's face, and he recognized that it was Li Qingqing, the transfer student who had just arrived in their class today.
"Give the ball back to me." Hu Lai pointed at the football at Li Qingqing's feet and said.
Li Qingqing smiled and said: "Okay, as long as you can take the football away from my feet."
Hu Lai was happy when he heard this: "Let me tell you, I am very good at playing football. Don't say that boys bully me..."
While he was talking, he walked towards Li Qingqing, walking normally and unhurriedly at first.
But when he was approaching Li Qingqing, while he was talking, he suddenly stabbed the football at Li Qingqing's feet!
"...Girl! Huh?"
His unexpected kick did not hit the football, but swept away a ball of air.
Li Qingqing was like a fallen leaf. After being swept away by him, not only was the ball not intercepted, but it floated past him and appeared behind him.
Hu Lai turned his head and watched the football fall from the air and land at Li Qingqing's feet.
"Wow, you are so cunning! Fortunately, I reacted quickly!" Li Qingqing exclaimed, with an excited smile on her face, and then she hooked her hand at Hu Lai: "Come again!"
Hu Lai turned around and pounced on Li Qingqing...the ball at his feet.
But he still failed to grab the football this time.
Li Qingqing first moved back and pulled the football back with his right foot, but then suddenly knocked the football behind Hu Lai, and the football passed between Hu Lai's legs!
At the same time, Li Qingqing jumped slightly behind, dodged Hu Lai's attack, and then started to rush forward again, bypassing Hu Lai and catching up with the football.
"Come on, come on!" Li Qingqing shouted excitedly.
She was busy transferring schools and moving this summer vacation. After changing to a new environment, she didn't know anyone. She hadn't played football with anyone for a long time.
Now controlling the football under her feet and fighting with others, she felt every cell in her body moaning with pleasure. It was the excitement and excitement of regaining freedom after being imprisoned for a long time.
Hu Lai turned around and looked at Li Qingqing, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Don't say I didn't warn you, I'm going to take it seriously."
Li Qingqing nodded: "Okay."
"I'm telling you, when I take it seriously, even I'm scared!"
"Then come on!" Li Qingqing also took a stance.
Hu Lai rushed up and was passed by Li Qingqing.
"I'm really serious this time!"
"Come again!"
"Very well, woman, you succeeded in irritating me, and you have to pay...the price for it!"
"Go on! I don't believe it anymore..."
"Hey!"
"I go……"
…
Hu Lai tried his best, and several times he even used American football tricks to grab Li Qingqing with his hands, but Li Qingqing was as flexible as a butterfly and could always dodge before he touched her. The result was Hu Lai.
Not only did Lai not hug Li Qingqing, but he also let himself fall into the dog's food. His school uniform was covered with mud and he looked miserable.
※※※
When Hu Lai fell to the ground again, he did not stand up again, but sat on the ground silently, no longer shouting as loudly as before.
Li Qingqing felt that he had just warmed up and was still waiting for Hu Lai to continue, but he saw such an abnormal behavior from him.
Seeing Hu Lai sitting on the ground with his head lowered, she suddenly realized that she had gone too far?
Then she thought of what Hu Lai's deskmate said to her in physical education class this afternoon.
If football doesn't bring you any pleasure, will you continue to like football?
Hu Lai is always unable to steal the ball at his feet. It is normal for people to suddenly not want to play.
Thinking of this, Li Qingqing brought the football to Hu Lai guiltily, wanting to comfort him. After all, if physical confrontation is not considered, there are not many people who can snatch the football from her feet, so there is no need for Hu Lai to feel depressed...
…
"Hey, are you angry?" she asked cautiously.
"No."
Hu Lai continued to lower his head, but listening to his tone, Li Qingqing still felt that the boy in front of him was probably angry.
"Well, don't get angry..." Li Qingqing was about to continue to persuade, but suddenly saw Hu Lai sitting on the ground with his hands behind his back, his body suddenly ejected like a spring, and at the same time, his right foot kicked hard towards
The football at Li Qingqing’s feet!
Li Qingqing and Hu Lai were so close that it was almost impossible to escape from such a close distance. In addition, Hu Lai suddenly attacked and acted suddenly. It can be said that he was determined to win this time!
But Li Qingqing's body seemed to have a conditioned reflex. Her left foot quickly knocked the football beside her to the right, barely avoiding Hu Lai's right foot!
"It's now!" Hu Lai shouted, and the hands supporting his body exerted force again, twisting his body into a twist, and driving his left leg to sweep over from the outside!
It turns out that his previous move with his right foot was just a feint, but now this move with his left foot is his true intention!
He used feints to force Li Qingqing to react hastily, so that when his left foot came over again, Li Qingqing would definitely not be able to dodge.
But just when his left foot was about to sweep the football, Li Qingqing's toes of her right foot turned up very subtly, and she lifted the football that her left foot had knocked over very lightly, and then her right foot followed the football.
, because the two speeds are the same, it looks like the football is hovering on the top of her left foot.
Just after her right foot was raised, Hu Lai's left leg followed suit, passing under Li Qingqing's foot and rubbing against the sole of the shoe.
This caused Li Qingqing to stumble a little when he landed, but he did not lose control of the football.
In order to prepare for Hu Lai's possible follow-up attack, Li Qingqing turned around and retreated five meters away with the football, and then he breathed out: "Wow! Insidious!"
Because of the action of grabbing the ball just now, Hu Lai rolled around on the ground. Now the clothes and pants on the front, back, left and right were smeared with black sludge. Although it had been exposed to the sun for a day during the day, it was only the water on the surface that had evaporated. This area
After a lot of work by two people, the open space turned into a vegetable patch.
Hu Lai, who looked like a mud monkey, looked very frustrated: "Why can't I snatch it away..."
Li Qingqing did not relax his vigilance, but continued to stand far away and said: "It's strange that you can snatch it. Your body coordination is so poor that your movements are incoherent."
"Nonsense! I'm a forward. How can a forward be good at grabbing the ball?" Hu Lai, who was sitting on the ground, argued.
Li Qingqing kicked the football to him directly.
Hu Lai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the opponent to hand the football back to him so easily. He thought he had to grab the ball from the opponent's feet before.
"You came to me." Li Qingqing said to Hu Lai.
"This is what you said..." Hu Lai got up from the ground, pointed at Li Qingqing and said, "I am a very powerful..."
Again, without finishing his words, he suddenly dribbled the ball towards Li Qingqing.
Then he took a step to the left, but Li Qingqing remained unmoved.
Sure enough, Hu Lai's left foot crossed the football without touching it.
Then his right foot moved toward the football.
Li Qingqing continued to remain unmoved.
This time Hu Lai's right foot touched the ball, but instead of moving the ball, he stepped directly on the football. Then his body's turn to the right was interrupted, and the inertia caused him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
.
He took a golf cart.
When he fell, his left foot touched the football. The ball slowly rolled towards Li Qingqing, and finally stopped after touching Li Qingqing's foot.
Li Qingqing looked down at the culprit who caused Hu Lai to fall, and then looked up at Hu Lai lying on the ground.
"The ground is too slippery, it rained last night..." Hu Lai explained awkwardly.
Li Qingqing kicked the football back again.
Hu Lai got up from the ground, took the football and charged at Li Qingqing again.
※※※
When Hu Lai failed to pass Li Qingqing for the tenth time, the football rolled to Li Qingqing's feet. Hu Lai sat on the ground, not looking at Li Qingqing, and defended: "Actually, I am a point-grabbing forward, and I only shoot from points."
That's what I'm best at. That dribbling past is not..."
But Li Qingqing shook his head: "Your deskmate is right, you are not suitable for playing football. You cannot play well if you have poor coordination."
Hu Lai suddenly raised his head and glared at Li Qingqing, angrily saying: "What does that fat man know? He doesn't even watch football games. What does he know about 'coordination'?"
"I can see the coordination." Li Qingqing said.
She watched Hu Lai training alone for a while from the window yesterday. When he caught the ball, his movements were very stiff, giving people a very uncoordinated feeling, which is why he made so many mistakes in stopping the ball.
Today she and Hu Lai sparred for a while, which further strengthened her judgment.
This person has a big problem with his physical coordination.
"Coordination refers to your ability to complete a technical action through the coordination and cooperation of various parts of the body. For example, the action of stopping a ball requires observation with your eyes, thinking with your brain, action with your body, and then using reasonable and appropriate strength and movements.
Width to catch the ball..."
Having said this, Li Qingqing suddenly kicked the football towards the uneven stone wall of the high platform.
After the football hit hard, it bounced in an unpredictable direction.
Before Hu Lai could react, Li Qingqing ran over quickly and then raised his foot to stop the football.
It was a very powerful ball, but Li Qingqing stopped it very easily, as if the football marked by Hu Lai actually belonged to Li Qingqing, and he only listened to her words.
This made Hu Lai feel a little jealous, and also a little frustrated that he was not even as good as a girl...
"If you don't have good coordination, you may land the ball in your face."
Hu Lai thought about the scene where he secretly trained here yesterday, and the bridge of his nose seemed to still hurt a little.
"Some people think that coordination is agility, but it is not just agility, but also balance ability. In competition, coordination is more important. If you can't do the moves well when playing football by yourself, how can you do it against others in the competition?
Do you have good moves? Have you ever wanted to shoot hard, but you rounded your legs and kicked out, but you didn't use the force, or even made yourself fall?" Li Qingqing looked at Hu Lai and asked.
Hu Lai nodded, but then defended: "Occasionally, very occasionally!"
"That's a sign of poor coordination." Li Qingqing didn't care about Hu Lai's excuse and continued, "Coordination is the basic ability of football players. It is the link that connects the players' technical and tactical abilities, strength, endurance, technology,
Speed, flexibility...these abilities all depend on coordination. People with poor coordination cannot play football well. How can those who can trip themselves over when they go on the field become professional players?"
At this point, Li Qingqing suddenly realized that the boy in front of him was not a professional player, and he had probably never received any formal football training since he was a child. His words were too heavy for him.
So she coughed and added: "Of course, it's okay if you just kick around and entertain yourself..."
Hu Lai suddenly asked: "What if I want to join our school football team?"
Li Qingqing didn't expect Hu Lai to ask such a question... Then she thought about her father's strict requirements, shook her head and said, "No chance."
Hu Lai didn't believe it: "You said there is no chance of success?"
"Is it more demanding to play football in physical education class, or to join the school team?" Li Qingqing asked back. "You can't even play football in class physical education class, and you still want to join the school team and play in the inter-school competition.
Competition? I said you can kick and play, just kick and play, just kick as you like... What are you doing?"
Li Qingqing saw Hu Lai waving to her.
"Give me the ball, I'm going home."
The boy covered in mud slowly got up from the ground.
※※※
Li Qingqing watched Hu Lai bending down in the grass and hiding the football in it. His posture with his butt sticking out was still funny, but Li Qingqing did not laugh this time.
She was wondering if her words, "You can't even play football in class physical education class," hit the boy?
She still remembers what Hu Lai looked like in physical education class at that time.
Even if no one takes him to play, he still stands on the sidelines and watches the game.
He really cares about this...
Hu Lai, who had hidden the football, didn't even say hello to Li Qingqing, so he just got on his broken bicycle and rode away crookedly.
In Li Qingqing's eyes, Hu Lai's back at this moment overlapped with the lonely figure standing on the sidelines in the physical education class.
The setting sun stretched his figure very long on the ground, extending to the girl's feet.
