Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 102
"Everyone sit down, take a good rest, and listen to me..."

After returning to the locker room, even the bones of the person were about to fall apart.Almost desperately, we did not allow Beichuan to expand the score to 2:0, but Xuexue fell to the ground together with the opposing players after a head-to-head confrontation.Beichuan's classmate had no serious problems, and was helped to the sidelines in a daze, but Xuexue was carried away on a stretcher.Lying on it, he couldn't even answer us, which was shocking, although what happened a month later was much more terrifying.The assistant teacher followed, and after returning to the locker room, the coach received his call.There is no danger, but Xuexue can't come back.Unbelievably, in the team, he seems to always be a brick of the revolution, wherever he needs to move, as long as the team needs him, he can play in any position.More importantly, he is like a banner, never falling down, even if his head is bleeding and his body is covered with cuts and bruises, he doesn't even cry out in pain.

However, we have lost even our learning today.I know that Xuexue will fall down helplessly only when he really can't get up.

"Although we are still behind and lost the ball, Beichuan still failed to crush you. We did not collapse." The coach's voice was much gentler before the game, "As an elder, I have experienced more games than you. Losing Responsibly speaking, this kind of offensive and pressing cannot continue for the whole game. The opponent's attack is desperate, one-off, they played all the best cards in their hands, trying to kill us in one go.

"Everyone is tired. I know you are tired now, but Beichuan is more tired than you. Their physical strength can't last long, 15 minutes at most. We have to carry it down. They are using their bodies to fight against our psychology and waiting Our minds collapse first. But as long as we don’t collapse, it’s their physical fitness that will collapse!

"I know we didn't even have a shot in the first half. It's nothing. It's not shameful if we don't shoot. It's shameful to be eliminated by reversal. But as long as there is a chance, we will attack resolutely! The opponent's defense line is very high. It’s very big, as long as there is a chance and a goal is scored, the game will be completely suspenseful! You can do it, and it is also difficult to play away games against other schools. We have overcome it, and we can overcome it today!”

"It's definitely possible! It's about fighting harder!" Sitting on the side, Xiaoqi suddenly stood up, as excited as ever, but this time she said it much more clearly, "There is also me! There are also seniors and sisters and every student from the first grade of junior high school. Alone! As long as we play, we will fight ten times, one hundred times more than the opponent!"

"I still have to learn from Mu Zheng." Xu Mu added, "Although they are not here."

After the calm encouragement and high-pitched encouragement, the tense and stiff muscles seemed to relax a lot, in fact, it was more because we sat down and rested.The coach rearranged the formation, and there was no doubt that Miller would be on the field, but our formation remained the same.Pay attention to safety.Before going on the court, I bent my knees a little and put my forehead on Mi Le's cheek in the tunnel.Get up, like a little daughter-in-law, who am I!Protect yourself, and our gates!He pushed me away pretending to be arrogant, and he didn't forget to push me twice with his knee behind him.I shivered, but my heart felt a lot more at ease.

And now I'm on the goal line.After the opening of the second half, Beichuan, as before, crazily hit our goal with continuous offensive.An Dongyou dribbled all the way, passing Yan Xi who was back on defense and Mi Le who was supplementing defense, all the way into the penalty area, but when he wanted to shoot, he was knocked down by A Hui who rushed from behind.The penalty was indisputable, and we didn't go to the referee to argue.The moment they heard the referee's whistle, Beichuan's players once again burst into cheers like a tsunami, their faces flushed and their voices hoarse, and the voice that burst from their hearts seemed to have equalized the total score.

Keke, it's up to you.Miller grabbed me.I saved it two years ago, and it's fine this year.Lao Ye also said the same.It's okay if we can't save, we can score and we can defend.Mingming's words seem to be more in line with my mood at this moment.The momentum of Beichuan's celebration after winning the penalty made me, who was overwhelmed before, feel a sense of relief.What I have been worried about for a long time is about to come, but it makes me calm, so calm that I am a little deaf to their joy of winning a penalty.Maybe it's because I know I still have a chance to turn the tide on my own.The total score is still 2:1, and the penalty kick after tens of seconds may determine the trend of the game, just like a battle for a fort or a commanding height.We still had the upper hand, forcing Kitagawa to score at all costs, the loud celebration after the penalty conveyed pent-up emotions, the pressure was on their side before the ball went into the net.Too good an opportunity comes with the burden of having to succeed.

Both sides put all their chips into a one-on-one duel.At this moment, victory will depend on the will and ability of two individuals.In the past, I would have squirmed and wondered if I had such a right.But now standing in front of the goal, even if there is no poem on the gloves I wear today, I firmly believe that I can carry all the hopes of my teammates.

Be calm.Subconsciously poking the captain's armband on my arm, I saw Uchida Gotoku holding the ball and walking to the penalty spot, and looked into his eyes with a smile on his face.He lowered his head and didn't look at me.

My arms are open, and he is running up, a little sluggish and clumsy, probably a slight incoordination after his physical decline.After a year and a half, I faced a penalty kick again at the home court of Beichuan Middle School. Like a seasoned and precise hunter, I saw through all the movements of the prey the moment Uchida started running. "I see you to the end at a glance", so that I can clearly judge how the joints will twist and where the ball will fly out.Without any suspense, I saved his penalty kick to the right, and quickly got up and hugged the ball in my arms, leaving him no chance. [1]
The teammates were about to swarm up to celebrate, but Beichuan's classmates held their heads in frustration, and their expressions told everyone that what they were most worried about happened after countless secret prayers.

The referee's whistle blew.

As if history was reversed, he signaled that the penalty kick would be severely punished.

I moved early?Foot off the goal line?I don't know, I didn't pay much attention to this issue.Beichuan's players stood up energetically like grasses that had regained their vitality.Of course, our team members couldn't be convinced. If they wanted to ask the referee for an explanation, Mi Le and Lao Ye would be the first to bear the brunt.I pushed them away gently, there's no point arguing about this, especially if you risk getting a yellow card.

"Don't worry, I can still pounce. I will pounce a hundred times if I kick a hundred times."

He almost jumped from the penalty area line to the door. Those who didn't know it thought they were praised by all the teachers.Seeing Uchida Gotoku putting the ball back to the penalty spot, maybe I had an idea, and I walked up to him, and said a few words in Japanese that I know-"だいじょうぶ", written in Chinese characters, it seems to be "big man", meaning should be It's "it doesn't matter", I learned it while watching anime.After speaking, he smiled at him again, but his eyes wandered away, just glanced at me in a hurry.

I'm no longer that little boy who can only cry and cry.As my teammates say, I am the captain who can always be trusted, the long wall that makes the opponent return in vain and sigh, and the fighter who will fight to the end as long as I am on the court.In the one-on-one game of twelve yards, I was the nemesis of penalties and the insurmountable nightmare of forwards.

Uchida resumed his run-up, and he changed to small steps, dawdling, and approaching the ball quietly staying on the penalty spot.Psychological warfare, a test of patience, maybe he was trying to trick the keeper into making the first save and trick me into going in the opposite direction.I was still smiling, unimpressed, I didn't even open my arms, but put my hands on my hips, as if he would stay as still as a mountain when he suddenly hit the ball into the net.

Didn't make any saves because it was guessed that he was going to play in the middle.The result failed to touch the ball and it flew into the sky.I would still shout and celebrate when I saved Iowa's penalty, but at this time I just smiled lightly, as if nothing happened.

I won.Grinding his teeth secretly, he listened to the sound of firm friction that only he could hear.

The situation is about to change.

Beichuan still did not slow down their offensive.But compared to before, there is a little bit of discouragement.They've probably had close to twenty shots, including a penalty, which ended up being just one.Uchida's body became even more bulky. He was already tall. If he tried his best to press for half the court, he would always be unable to do so. What's more, he was restrained all the time, making it difficult for him to move smoothly.But he still sent a wonderful through pass. An Dongyou, who got the ball, flashed the space on the right side of the penalty area and kicked the goal, but Luka and Lao Ye both fell to the ground and blocked them regardless of their own lives. Two Great Walls of flesh and blood were erected.The ball refracted between their legs and bounced far out of the goal.Saving the penalty was definitely a shot in the arm for all of us, maybe a little bit of adrenaline, and the excitement came our way.Defense is full of passion, but beyond the passion, Taishan collapses before the color remains unchanged, which is also shocking.In the contest between body and mind, the balance has quietly tilted to the other side.

An Dongyou's corner kick was taken, and Uchida's header was diverted. There was a chaotic fight in the penalty area, and Beichuan's full-back got the ball and shot.There was almost no time for judgment. My right foot just blocked the shot that was close at hand. Limbo who followed up made another shot.I completed two consecutive dives based on intuition alone, and when the ball was cleared out of the sideline, I could hear several Beichuan players shaking their heads and sighing in unison.

Do you still have the confidence to break through?After this save, perhaps in front of the goal, all the opponent can touch is empty desperation.

At this time, the signal for substitution sounded on the sidelines.Our second card was played. No. 17 Xiao Qi came on the stage and replaced No. 22 He Honghui, who was physically exhausted.Xiaoqi brought the remaining time of the game: twelve minutes.In addition, it is the signal of the change: changed to four backs, Brother Chuan returned to the midfield to sweep, and added a fast counterattack point in the frontcourt.

Beichuan, who had difficulty finding a breakthrough on the offensive end, gradually struggled with the passage of time. Uchida Kotoku and An Dongyu were still fighting in the frontcourt, but their physical strength was obviously unsustainable.Even if one retains unwilling fighting spirit and ideals, when the body cannot catch up with the soul, what people can feel is nothing but helplessness.After completing a defense, I threw the ball to Mi Le, who quickly exited the penalty area, and the latter dunked up to press the opponent and sent a long pass.Yan Xi, who was restricted for the entire game, received the pass and galloped forward, while the defending Beichuan defender had to try his best to get closer to him, and waited for his teammates to come from behind to pinch him.The two opponents were almost hopeless and helpless, and they were coerced by Yan Xi to the vicinity of Beichuan's penalty area.

Yan Xi wanted to pass the ball, but the ball bounced back after being blocked by the opponent.This unintentional act made everyone witness the most exciting performance that they could see on the stage of the Mayor's Cup in their life.Flower arranging feet, there are only a handful of professional players who can make this kind of action. It is really hard to predict how many magical weapons Yan Xi has in his arsenal, and the imagination and beauty of this action are like those flying high in the night sky. Pegasus.Yan Xi twisted his left foot behind his right leg strangely and miraculously, tapped it lightly deftly, and the ball rolled to the right side of his body unexpectedly passed through the gap between the two defenses.A player in a white jersey arrived as scheduled. He didn't stop the ball, and shot vigorously against the slowly rolling ball.Like a bright meteor, the black and white ball flew towards the upper right corner of Beichuan Gate, with a slight drop.The goalkeeper stretched his body to the extreme in the air, and maybe he just touched the edge of the ball, like dust in the universe brushing against a flying meteor, and there is absolutely no possibility of changing its trajectory.

This may be the ball that ends the suspense!Xiaoqi, who scored this wonderful world wave, still has enough physical fitness to run from the front of Beichuan's penalty area to us, and was thrown down by everyone to celebrate.The spring that was pressed to the extreme finally bounced like a shot, and the bottom force it had was released to the fullest, and the air pierced Changhong.Just knew you could do it!I yelled this sentence close to his ear, for fear that it would not deafen him.It is also interesting to say that this excellent cooperation and goal made me more excited than the point.Xiao Qi hugged me tightly. This little boy who told me countless times to contribute to the team finally fulfilled his promise. The symmetrical dimples are sweet and cute when he smiles. I can’t help but want to poke Twice.

For the home team, this goal means that in the remaining 10 minutes, they must score three goals in a row to advance, and their physical and mental strength may not be enough to support them.Uchida gasped for breath after running, let alone An Dongyou and Lin Bo who gritted their teeth and persisted.After a pass, the Korean who had no physical contact with our players fell to the ground, hugged his calf in pain, but still shouted in Chinese to leave me alone and move on.But everyone stopped and his teammate kicked the ball over the touchline to end the game.Probably strained, he couldn't stand up, so a stretcher came in for the second time.With his hands wrapped in black gauze, he may be more eager to win than anyone else, eager to point his fingers to the sky, but now he can only be carried out on a stretcher.Without a single goal or assist, there would not even be a team victory.Although there will be a qualifying match if he loses, for him, the junior high school competition is destined to end in this way.His back was slightly hunched under the spring sun, somewhat desolate and lonely.

Miller threw the ball out of bounds, and Bigfoot returned the ball to the opponent. This is sportsmanship-when the game suspended due to injury resumes normal, the ball must be given to the party that originally had the ball.There were sporadic applause in the stands, which was the fans' recognition of the visiting team's sportsmanship.Whether it is the team, the venue or the audience, Beichuan Middle School has been so "professional" from beginning to end.And this is the last time our junior high school set foot on this stadium. When we come back here again, time will flow for at least another two years.For Luca, it may be the only time in this life.The game is coming to an end, and the score of 1:1 gave me a few seconds to feel emotional.What a formidable and great opponent.

But the game won't end until the last second.Beichuan hadn't completely given up yet, and their relentless attack left a trace of tragedy at the end of the day.Xu Mu replaced Yan Xi in stoppage time. The first time she touched the ball after her appearance was a header in front of Uchida to clear the siege.Watching her push the ball unswervingly, as the best player in the previous finals, Uchida Kotoku only had a helpless, calm and bitter smile on his face.Xiao Qi won the ball in the ensuing scramble and passed the ball to Mi Le on the right.Another violent ball was scored, and the exhausted Beichuan midfielder was powerless to stop Mi Le's wild advance on the wing.Completely overwhelmed by speed, Miller sprinted from the midfield to the right side of the penalty area, led the ball past the attacking defender, and sent an inverted triangle pass with his injured right foot.The No. 10, who symbolizes the core, was inserted into the penalty area. The confidence he found in the last game has not worn away for a few months.

Luka's stop was a bit hasty, but there were no players around him who followed closely.Exquisite movement earned him the opportunity to fight one-on-one with the goalkeeper.There are countless options, and after comfortably adjusting the ball to his feet, he categorically blasted the ball straight up.Like a burst shell, the ball hit the top of the net, and it seemed that the entire goal was about to be lifted up from the ground by a huge momentum.If Xiaoqi's goal was the passing of a meteor, Luka's goal that completely killed the game was the impact of a meteorite.The sorrel-haired little prince ran a few steps to the midfield after scoring the goal, then happily lay down on the ground and turned over, just like the little spring bear that Xue Xue said.After Xiao Qi and Mi Le picked him up from the ground, I seemed to see the happiest smiling faces in the world.Like an old man, I actually feel that the classmates in the first grade of junior high school have finally taken over our mantle.And we also crossed the defending champion, continuing our goals and footsteps.

The spring breeze blows, and the ups and downs change in the blink of an eye.The referee has not yet blown the whistle to end the game, but at this moment, perhaps this sentence can be said: Farewell, the former kings, it is your strength that urges us to become stronger.It is also because of defeating you that I believe that we will reach the finals in the future and win the championship trophy that our predecessors have never won.

[1] "I see you to the end at a glance" comes from Liang Shiqiu's "One of My Chinese Teachers". It is a sentence Liang Shiqiu was criticized by teacher Xu Jincheng in class when he was eighteen or nineteen years old.Because this prose has been selected into the textbook, Ke Ke will play this trick.
