Li Ziqiang put away the flash of surprise on his face and asked with a dark face: "What did you say?"
Hu Lai also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he accidentally said what was in his heart.
There are some things that are fine no matter how you think about them in your heart, but if you say them out loud, it may not be appropriate.
After practicing with the team for a month, he knew very well that it would be difficult for him, a newcomer who had just joined the team and had basic training for a month, to be accepted if he wanted to play.
You must know that the team now has thirty-six people and has already played three rounds of qualifying. Counting those who came on the bench, there are only eighteen people who have played in the game, which is just half.
In other words, half of the people have never played at all, so why should he play?
Many people must be thinking like this, no matter what, it won't be your turn! Even if we have to play, among the thirty-five of us, which one will not be higher than you?
Hu Lai quickly changed his words: "Uh, no, coach..."
But Li Ziqiang was not going to let him go just like that. He had tolerated this kid for a long time.
"Nothing?" He walked towards Hu Lai and shouted at the same time. "You can't even crawl, so you want to run away?! Are you dissatisfied with the fact that you are only allowed to do basic training during this period?"
"I didn't..." Hu Lai defended.
"Nothing? I know you are full of complaints, complaining that my attitude towards you is more rude than to others! It's okay, you can express your opinions openly, and I promise not to expel you from the team."
When Li Ziqiang said this, he looked coldly at Hu Lai, who was lowering his head. At the same time, his back was facing the direction of the rostrum. Without looking back, he could know that his daughter was watching this scene on the rostrum.
It stands to reason that he should suppress his emotions to avoid arousing his daughter's suspicion. But when he thought of the scene in that open space with his daughter holding this damn bastard in her arms and the two of them standing so close with their faces close to each other,
The nameless fire deep in his heart surged upwards.
The crystallization of the love between him and his wife, the treasure that he and his wife took great care of. After his wife passed away, he was alone in raising his daughter who had grown up little by little. He spent so much effort and poured so much emotion into it. He was in this world
How could you give up the person you love the most to this bastard in front of you?!
Outsiders have many labels and impressions of Li Ziqiang. For example, the players on the Dongchuan Middle School football team think their head coach is the "devil coach."
But not many people may know that Li Ziqiang’s other identity is actually a maniac who dotes on women.
When his wife passed away, she entrusted her daughter to him, and he would absolutely, absolutely not allow anyone to take advantage of his precious daughter.
There was such a treasure that he was afraid of dropping when he put it in his hands and afraid of melting when he held it in his mouth. He was just busy with the handover of the new job and adapting to the new environment. If he wasn't careful, he was about to be humped by a pig...
It is unbearable!
He was even very worried that this would become the biggest failure in his life, a bigger failure than losing his wife and his previous job.
How worried he was about this matter, how much he hated Hu Lai.
He stared at Hu Lai as if staring at a corpse.
Under his gaze, Hu Lai kept his head lowered and said nothing.
"What? Are you mute? Speak!" Li Ziqiang shouted.
※※※
Everyone was frightened by the scene that was happening in front of them, including Li Qingqing and Song Jiajia. The two of them stared at the court in stunned silence, looking at Hu Lai and the coach (father), not knowing what to do at all.
The performance of others was not much better than theirs. Neither the players nor the audience knew what kind of performance to expect at this time.
Apart from Li Ziqiang's roar, there was no other sound at the scene.
In this silence, a harsh laughter suddenly sounded.
"Hahahaha! You still want to play in the game! That's how good you are! Just take a piss and look at yourself, Hu Lai! Do you really think that everything will be fine if you join the school team? You are a joke! Did you hear that! Hu Lai!
You are a joke! Everyone is waiting to see your joke!"
Song Jiajia's head suddenly turned towards the direction of the sound, but he knew who was laughing without actually looking.
Because Li Zhiqun's voice characteristics are so obvious.
Li Qingqing also frowned, very dissatisfied with Li Zhiqun's behavior of adding insult to injury. She couldn't help it anymore, even in front of her father, she wanted to teach Hu Lai a lesson for that mangy dog.
But before she and Song Jiajia could make any move, they heard a loud voice coming from the venue: "Shut up!"
※※※
When Li Ziqiang scolded him, Hu Lai kept his head lowered, just like when he faced his father's scolding.
He thought of his father, and the father who couldn't stand him playing football.
When he was a child, he was playing football in the yard with his friends. When he was discovered, he stood in front of his father like this, lowering his head and being scolded silently.
The friends who played football with him stood nearby, watching this scene with some confusion, wondering why Hu Lai's father was so cruel to him.
It has been like this since I was a child. If I fail to do something well, I will be scolded by my father.
She said she was good for him, but she never considered it from his perspective.
He has arranged so much for himself, but never asks for his opinion. If he has an opinion, his answer is usually "Don't worry! Why do you ask so many questions? Just do it! Just listen to me! I understand, it's you
Understand?"
Okay, Hu Lai won't ask or tell.
He buried all those doubts deep in his heart, but these problems were only hidden deep, but they did not really disappear.
Those confusions and dissatisfactions are still there, no less, they have all accumulated.
Now, these emotions were surging in his chest along with the memories, as if he was looking for a breakthrough.
At this moment, he heard Li Zhiqun's harsh voice.
"...You are a joke! Did you hear that! Hu Lai! You are a joke! Everyone is waiting to see your joke!"
It was like a lit match being thrown into a room full of gas.
boom!
"Shut up!" Hu Lai raised his head and looked at the stands behind the coach. He immediately found the somewhat stunned Li Zhiqun, who pointed in that direction.
"Laipili, if I ask you to pay back the money again!!"
Li Zhiqun had never seen such an aggressive Hu Lai. He was frightened. He made a "burp" sound in his throat and did not say another word.
After taking care of Li Zhiqun, Hu Lai turned his eyes back and looked at the head coach in front of him.
For a moment, he felt that the person standing in front of him was not coach Li Ziqiang, but his father.
The father who always looked serious when facing him, the father who made him subconsciously want to escape.
The emotions surging in his chest had not been completely vented by the previous voice, and were still crashing into his chest.
Hu Lai stared at Li Ziqiang and said word by word: "Yes, I just want to play football! I want to play in the game! This is my goal! Can't it? Isn't it okay if my goal is to play in the game! I still
People who are crawling, but are still crawling, don’t deserve to dream of running!? What’s wrong with me! Wanting to! Play! Compete!?!”
The scene was filled with gasps and gasps.
Whether it was the school team members on the court or the spectators on the sidelines, everyone was shocked by Hu Lai's performance.
These people who can insist on watching the training from the sidelines have true love for football, the school team, and someone on the school team. This is not the first time for them to watch the school team train. Naturally, they are very clear about Hu Lai's status in this team.
, and how it behaves on weekdays.
It was always the coach who yelled at him. When did he dare to fight back so forcefully?
Don't even mention Hu Lai. Who in the team dares to talk to the coach with such a tone and attitude? Don't you think death is not fast enough?
Mao Xiao glanced at Meng Xi. His good friend made a gesture of slitting his neck, which meant that your friend was simply seeking death.
Luo Kai's calm face also showed a rare trace of strangeness. From just one sentence, Li Zhiqun was frightened into silence, and then he roared at the devil coach. Hu Lai gave him too many surprises today, which made him very unhappy.
adapt.
"Holy shit, that's awesome!" Song Jiajia couldn't help but cheer for her deskmate on the podium.
But Li Qingqing next to him murmured: "It's over..."
※※※
Hu Lai leaned forward and raised his head when he said the last words, almost spraying them right against the head coach's face.
Along with these words, spittle and stars were sprayed out, and together with Hu Lai's tough words, they slapped Li Ziqiang's face.
And what about Hu Lai? After shouting these words at the top of his lungs, all the pent-up energy in his chest was emptied out.
Reason returned to his body, and the person in front of him was no longer his father, but the coach with his drool on his black face.
"Uh, coach...that me...I just...no, my account was hacked just now..." Hu Lai's first reaction when he came back to his senses was to beg for mercy.
Facing his words, Li Ziqiang raised his hand to wipe the saliva from his face.
During this process, he kept staring at Hu Lai, with no change in his facial expression.
After wiping away the saliva, he spoke, but it was not an angry roar, but an extremely calm question: "Do you want to play? Do you want to compete?"
Hu Lai was stunned for a moment and quickly defended: "No, it's just a goal, a long-term goal... Coach, I have no complaints about your arrangement. I know I need to lay the foundation now..."
Li Ziqiang once again ignored Hu Lai's words and said with a cold face: "Very good, starting from next week, I will arrange a special training for you. As long as you can meet the standards, I will allow you to play! If not, you will give
I will do basic training for one year honestly!"
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards his office, leaving Hu Lai with a cold back.
Just as the head coach turned to leave, the emotionless voice popped up in Hu Lai's mind again: "Task: Successfully complete the special training arranged by the head coach. Mission reward: points x5000, mysterious gift package x1."
Hu Lai was frightened by his own system.
what's the situation?
You usually play dead and be as quiet as a chicken, but today you hit hard and released two tasks in a row?
What's going on?
Did you hear me complaining and complaining?
But this second mission shouldn't have happened, if not for what happened before...
So this system will have some interaction with reality? What happens in reality will affect the system, causing the system to give tasks?
Hu Lai, who was lost in thought, just stood there blankly.
In the eyes of others, he was simply a weak and helpless wretch at this moment.
