Everyone watching outside the stadium suddenly became quiet the moment Yang Guanghui took the shot. Thousands of pairs of eyes were looking forward to the football falling into the goal, but a second later, a sigh sounded.
The ball hit the goal post hard, bounced back, and was cleared by a HKUST defender.
"What a pity..." Li Jiahe sighed.
"This is a good sign!" Principal Li said with a smile.
Coach Lu stood up from the bench and was ready to celebrate the goal, but he sat back down in disappointment.
Wang Jiahe in the stands complained: "If Brother Gen had shot this ball, it would have gone in! Yang Guanghui is still a long way behind Brother Gen!"
Zhang Jian said: "It seems that luck is not on our side today. The goalpost has become a defender of HKUST! If the shot is on target, according to my goalkeeping experience, it will be difficult for the goalkeeper to save the ball. The strength and
It has the speed, but it’s a pity it’s off the mark!”
The people watching from the sidelines were annoyed, but Yang Guanghui on the court seemed very irritable, especially after the opponent's defender kept a close eye on him and Liu Gen. The coach of the HKUST school team saw it from the beautiful cooperation of Yang Liu just now.
Due to the impact of Nanhai Medical University's forwards, they promptly adjusted their tactics, requiring the two full-backs to no longer participate in assists and to keep an eye on Liu Gen and Yang Guanghui.
In this way, as long as Liu Gen and Yang Guanghui get the ball, they will be tackled by the opponent's defender or destroyed by reasonable body collisions, like two pieces of chewing gum stuck to Liu Gen and Yang Guanghui.
Liu Gen closely defended against the HKUST defender and tried several long-range shots. Due to his poor position, he was interfered by the opponent and missed the shot.
But Yang Guanghui started to compete with the defender who was guarding him, which allowed his opponent to seize the opportunity to make small moves. As soon as Yang Guanghui's body or hand touched the opponent, he immediately dived, which was very exaggerated. After several times, Yang Guanghui became angry.
, thirty minutes into the game, Su Jianjun dribbled the ball through the midfield, assisted outside the penalty area, and passed the ball to Yang Guanghui.
The opponent's defender immediately pressed forward to steal, but Yang Guanghui made an obvious push. The defender took the opportunity to fall to the ground, pretending to be in pain, and rolled several times on the ground.
However, Yang Guanghui was so angry that after the whistle sounded, he rushed forward and shouted at the defender who fell to the ground: "You are diving! Stop pretending! Get up!"
Several players from the University of Science and Technology immediately rushed forward and pushed Yang Guanghui away. There was a physical conflict and almost a fight between the two sides.
The referee ran forward to separate the two players who were arguing, took out a red card, and sent Yang Guanghui off directly.
"He dived! He should be sent off!" Yang Guanghui argued angrily with the referee.
Liu Gen stepped forward to fend him off: "Calm down, Guanghui, and listen to the referee."
Yang Guanghui walked out of the court cursing, and sat on the bench angrily, still yelling that the opponent was diving.
Nanhai Medical University is missing one player, and he is one of the core forwards. Coach Lu made tactical adjustments and only left Liu Gen in the forward line. He asked the midfielders and backfield players to strengthen their defense and strive to prevent the opponent from scoring goals while also asking Liu Gen to run more.
Move, distance yourself from the opponent's defender, use his strengths, and strengthen long-range shots.
Before the end of the first half, the defender of Nanhai Medical University made a mistake and the forward of the University of Science and Technology seized the opportunity. He entered the penalty area and easily sent the ball into the goal. Nanhai University fell behind 0-1 and ended the first half.
This result deeply affected all the teachers and students of Nanhai University watching the game, and the slogan "The strong is king" became louder and louder.
At the beginning of the second half, Liu Gen tried his best to retreat to the midfield to help the midfielder steal the ball. After getting the ball, he passed the ball to his teammates and then quickly moved forward, using his physical strength and his 100-meter speed to get rid of the opponent several times.
As a defender, unfortunately, the passes passed to him by his teammates were either not in place or too high, but it put a lot of pressure on the USTC defense line and relieved part of the burden on the midfielder and backcourt of the Nanhai Medical University team.
Some of the teachers and students cheering outside the field were hoarse, but they did not lose their momentum at all. They cheered for their school team with louder and louder chants of "the strong is king."
Li Chengzai was sweating profusely and was no more relaxed than the players on the field. Incited by the loudspeaker in his hand, the teachers and students in the stands started shouting like crazy along with him.
Time passed by one minute and one second, but the Nanhai Medical University could not wait for the goal. Principal Li and Li Jiahe, who were watching the game, seemed anxious and could no longer sit still. They walked to the side of the court.
Standing with classmates and shouting.
Liu Gen's efforts finally paid off. Su Jianjun's assist delivered a beautiful ground ball to Liu Gen, which reached Liu Gen's feet very accurately.
A defender from the University of Science and Technology failed to make a tackle, leaving a big gap for Liu Gen. How could Liu Gen let go of such a good opportunity? He dribbled the ball forward and ran into the penalty area. A defender came from the left to defend Liu Gen.
A beautiful sudden stop and turn, after getting rid of the opponent, he took a shot. He aimed at the upper right corner of the goal, using his left foot, which he is good at. His movements were as easy and graceful as in normal training, and the football rotated obediently.
It flew towards the upper right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper of HKUST tried his best to save the ball, but he couldn't get the ball with both hands.
The moment the football flew into the goal, the teachers and students outside the field were excited. Instead of shouting "The strong is king", they changed to "Brother Gen...".
This goal came at the right time, which greatly boosted the morale of the Nanhai Medical University players. At the same time, it also reduced the arrogance of the HKUST players. There were still twenty minutes left, and there was still a chance.
However, there were only two or three players guarding Liu Gen. As soon as he got the ball, two or three people would attack him and steal the ball from his feet, even without hesitation to commit a foul.
However, this also brought opportunities to other Nanhai Medical University players, and Su Jianjun began to actively assist.
Liu Gen, who was running almost all over the field, also consumed a lot of physical energy. This was the most difficult and fierce competition since he joined the school team. However, he knew in his heart that the opponent's physical energy was also being used up. It all depended on who could hold on.
, what’s important now is not skills, but physical fitness. If you want to win the game, you must grit your teeth and insist on running more.
With just a few minutes left in the game, Liu Gen got another chance in front of the goal.
After Su Jianjun broke through with the ball, he saw Liu Gen and several HKUST defenders running in front of the goal. He decisively kicked off and hoisted the ball over Liu Gen's head.
Liu Gen's height and jumping far exceed those of the HKUST defenders. Heading is a skill he usually practices a lot. Although the football is a bit off, he jumps up and moves his body horizontally, like a carp jumping out of the water.
, then swung his head to the left, like a lion shaking his head, and steadily pushed the ball into the goal. His body fell heavily to the ground, but he ignored the pain and got up. He was so excited that he lifted the jersey with both hands.
He stood up and pulled back from his head, revealing the strong muscles of his body.
There were teachers and students outside the venue who had cameras, and Xiao Subai was one of them. She was a photography enthusiast, and she accurately captured this shot of Liu Gen.
Liu Gen ran towards the stands, knelt down with both legs, and raised his head to the sky, shouting: "The strong one is king!"
The other team members pounced on him, pressing him to the ground and stacking him on top of each other.
In the remaining minutes of the game, USTC launched a final frantic attack, trying to equalize the score at the last moment, but the defense was full of loopholes. A midfielder from Nanhai Medical University broke through and easily scored a goal. In the end, the score was fixed at
Three to one.
Nanhai Medical University won this crucial battle.
Principal Li and Li Jiahe were so excited that they embraced each other to celebrate.
The boys and girls outside the court also forgot their gender and hugged each other.
Only Ouyang Xue quietly walked down the stands alone, walked towards the entrance and exit of the stadium, and left the stadium first.
Liu Gen saw Ouyang Xue's lonely back and was stunned for a moment before being hugged by Xiao Subai who rushed forward.
"Brother Gen, you are so handsome! That header was so wonderful!" Xiao Subai shouted excitedly in Liu Gen's usual accent, and kissed him on the face.
"Is that Liu Gen's girlfriend?" Li Jiahe asked Principal Li next to him.
Principal Li was also surprised. Of course he knew Xiao Subai. He smiled and said, "Maybe, that is Xiao Xiao's baby daughter."
"Xiao Xiao's daughter?" Li Jiahe also knew Xiao Xiao and had met her twice at Principal Li's house.
"You don't know yet, Xiao Xiao is going to teach at a medical school in the United States." Principal Li sighed and said, "In this merger, our school has lost several academic leaders. These people were all trained by the school.
of top talent.”
"Then you can train a group of top talents." Li Jiahe patted Principal Li on the shoulder: "Liu Gen is the hope of Nanhai Medical University in the future!"
Principal Li glanced at Liu Gen and Xiao Subai on the court, and said with a wry smile: "But he is a bit like you. He is a good academic person, but he goes into business. Didn't Liu Gen also open a restaurant? If he does business well, maybe
I will surpass you in the future, but it is a pity that I lost a good medical talent."
"Can't we let him become both a business wizard and a medical guru?" Li Jiahe said optimistically: "You, Xiao Li Feidao, are not only a medical guru, but also a management talent."
"But in the end, I returned to my old profession." Principal Li shook his head: "Let's go, have dinner at my house tonight. We haven't had a good drink in a long time. I called Huoyan."
"I definitely want to eat, but I don't have to drink wine. You and Huoyan will drink." Li Jiahe took one last look at Liu Gen: "He seems to be a completely different person on the football field. He is so domineering! He shows off his sharp edge.
!How I wish I could have a leading successor like him who can stand alone!"
"Why, do you want to retire?" Principal Li heard what Li Jiahe said.
"That's the plan." Li Jiahe said with a wry smile, "But it's not easy to get off this ship!"
Just as Li Jiahe was saying goodbye to President Li and the President of HKUST, Liu Gen left Xiao Subai and ran up to invite the two of them to have dinner together in Shiweitian.
"Liu Gen, I stole your guest, so I won't do it tonight. Another day, I will go to your Shiweitian restaurant with Mr. Li to have a good meal." Principal Li had eaten Shiweitian's mutton steamed buns.
, it was just something his family bought to eat, and he never went to the store.
