Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 107 "You Are Not Him"

The light green and orange struggle to the death finally ushered in the last 10 minutes, and the first ticket to the Olympic Sports Center was silently waiting for its only owner.As we predicted during the halftime break, the foreign school will attack with all their strength in the second half-they have the advantage in both number and field, and they are at home. They will never want to drag the game into a life-and-death penalty shootout.And once the pressure is large, the gaps in the defense will be exposed, and 54 will get a chance to counterattack.Both sides have the opportunity to control their own destiny.

But we didn't expect Yin Ilrong to be replaced at the beginning of the second half.He didn't even show up on the bench on the sidelines.At the end of the first half, he was supported by two teammates and jumped back to the locker room on one foot, but in our impression he will always be an iron man, and he will return to the battlefield no matter what the situation is.The bad pass at the end of the first half hurt the school far more than being scored by Li Bin. The injury and retreat of the midfielder was the fatal blow.

And this was another unexpected farewell and curtain call. Ah Rong briefly appeared in my life as an opponent, and then left quietly, always maintaining that taciturn attitude.Later, I heard from Pu Yun that he went back to his hometown to study in high school.Those few short sentences on that snowy day were the first, and possibly the last, conversation I had with him.It may be a farewell to silently get injured and leave the field. Like many people I have met in life, the tireless running figure disappeared into the sea of ​​people thousands of miles away.

And I have not yet learned to be used to this parting and turn a deaf ear to it.Even if the other party is just an opponent who only said a few words.

Pu Yun was pushed to the midfield, sharing Yin Rirong's offensive and defensive responsibilities with the replaced substitute players.The orange side has a lot more anxiety on the court than the opponent.I once suspected that Pu Yun knew about Li Bin's past. In the 10 minutes after the opening of the second half, he frequently shot long shots, but the quality was quite bad. They were either much higher than the crossbar or missed the bottom line. There was even a ball going to the corner flagpole Yeah, almost made a joke of "shooting out of the touchline".Probably it was Li Bin's wonderful world waves that stimulated his nerves, or in other words, it was the way of playing that affected Pu Yun.Saving the team from fire and water with absolute personal strength, this kind of heroic counter attack is the dream of every child running on the court wearing sunshine.As for the shadow that Pu Yun has been chasing and is now within reach, he used this method at the last moment of his unpredictable life to leave a back that will never be forgotten for all the people around him.

But Pu Yun seemed to be too obsessed with chasing after this figure, so he gritted his teeth at Li Bin, who had a very similar style of play to him and scored his own goal. "What the hell are you doing? Pu Yun, you're not him, you're not Ke Peixian! Don't fucking think of yourself as him!" I almost jumped up on my seat and yelled at him, but I couldn't.I'm not complaining about Pu Yun's imitation of his younger brother, but because football is a team sport!Treating yourself as the only superstar and savior of the team will not help everyone, but will drag the entire team down the abyss.

We always emphasize that 90.00% is sweat, but when everyone works hard enough, one percent of talent is precious.And how to mobilize and use these things all depends on the calmness of the mind.Xianxian saves the team again and again not only because of his strong personal ability, but also because of his excellent physical fitness, calm and calm heart, and his will that will never be shaken by any changes.

And even Xianxian can't just shoot the goal regardless of receiving the ball in the frontcourt. Neither Messi nor Ronaldo play like this.Please, wake up.Don't be so stubborn, you don't have to be Ke Peixian, just be the stubborn and confident self.

There is no way, Pu Yun can't hear the words in my heart.The time and physical fitness of him and his teammates were gradually overdrawn in the hasty and reluctant attacks.Even if a few chances were created, the finishing kick seemed a bit weak, and an excellent one-handed goal was too far away.The coyotes, who had let go of their burdens, boosted their morale after completing effective defenses one after another. With one less person, they were more sincere and united, and resolutely defended and counterattacked.Li Bin and A Fang got several chances to shoot in the frontcourt, but they will all be saved by the goalkeeper.The situation has completely changed.The will of the Oranje Legion faltered and became a bloated giant, staggering and crumbling.The wolves wandered around tenaciously and cunningly, patiently looking for opportunities to attack and kill.

As time went by, the home team became more and more tired from running, and the disappointment and hesitation could be clearly seen from the face and body movements.You must believe that you can score goals. The score is still balanced. You can't be overwhelmed. You didn't look like this when you fell behind last year.Maybe it wouldn't be the case if Liu Chi was still around. A stern and firm captain is like a needle in the sea at this moment of panic.Only Ah Hua is still running tirelessly, but limited by the care of Man Lin and Chen Yanba, it is very difficult for him to hold the ball, and it is even more difficult to get the support of his teammates.

"If this continues, something will happen." Mi Le said softly, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.Everyone off the court smelled ominous, while the coyotes on the court were aroused with absolute excitement after smelling the blood.Sure enough, Wang Rui intercepted the ball in midfield and passed it back to A Fang.Xiao Xiaoye dribbled the ball past Pu Yun in front of him, came to the center circle and sent a long pass.The ball fell towards the penalty area, and Li Bin made an imperceptible anti-offside turn and left the defender from the other school behind.

It's over.That's my first reaction.It was another extreme individual performance. Within a second, Li Bin, who caught up with the ball, stopped and hit with his right foot. In the blink of an eye, the ball had blasted into the near post. "Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles will never stop", the whole set of movements was so chic and coherent that Li Bin ran to the bench on the sidelines without any pause after breaking the goal, and made a backhand OK in front of his eyes. Accepting the swarming celebrations from his teammates without saying a word, he has the demeanor of "flicking off his clothes when things happen, hiding his name deeply".And the players from other schools who were chasing back and the helpless goalkeeper all fell to the ground, as if the game had been completely killed at this moment.

"What am I talking about? A Fang will prove himself!" Lao Ye's excitement pulled me back to the stand from the fallen orange player.Indeed, what cannot be ignored behind Li Bin's wonderful goal is A Fang's perfect overhead pass. The own goal in the first half did not overwhelm his small body, but proved himself again with a strong rebound.

"How much longer?" I asked Yue Yin.

"Ten minutes." She looked at her phone.

"It's over." Mi Le bit his lower lip and shook his head helplessly. 2:2, 54 with two away goals in hand, as long as they don't concede two goals in a row, they can ensure that they will advance to the final.

I don't know how to describe how I feel about the battle situation, probably "the general situation is over", the banner of the Oranje Corps seems to have been cut down.In the previous games, it would be dangerous to leave 3 minutes for foreign schools, but under today's situation, these 10 minutes have undoubtedly become a long torture.Although Ah Hua, who wears the captain's armband, has repeatedly turned back to the midfield to organize offenses, but it can only make people think of the two idioms of "a single tree can't support it" and "the sky is powerless".The last time I saw such a desperate game on the sidelines was last year. It was also Iowa who was almost hopelessly carrying the team's last offensive fire.Like Yin Rirong at that time, I lowered my head.I can't tell what kind of emotion it is, maybe it's just sad, sad for my friend, sad for this opponent who has been fighting for two years and cherishes each other.It's over, it wasn't supposed to end like this.

"Ke Ke." Mi Le ruffled my hair and tugged at my sleeve.

I look up at him.

"When the game is over, let's find Pu Yun. Let's go together."

"it is good."

Add 3 minutes.Hope and despair, joy and bitterness, whoever they belong to, will end with the game.But Pu Yun was replaced a few minutes ago, and the expression on his face was really worrying.There was a chance to change the situation of the battle.He has an ambition comparable to that of Napoleon. Maybe he can achieve a great cause by uniting with his companions, but in the end he lost to his own heart.Although I am cowardly, I am not qualified to criticize him, but I feel that excessive stubbornness is also a weakness of the heart.At this moment he has come to his senses, but it is too late and the price is too great.

"He's too late! It's always too late!

That critical second was thus wrought with terrible revenge.In earthly life such moments seldom come.When it comes upon a man unintentionally, he does not know how to use it.All the bourgeois virtues--care, obedience, industry, prudence--are of no avail in the great moment of destiny.Fate scornfully rejects the timid.Destiny—another god in this world, is only willing to lift up the brave with warm arms and send them to the heaven of heroes. "

Li Bin only has one chance for one second, which is as rare and short as the choices he can have in life.He caught it.Victory today belongs to the never-say-die Coyotes.

But Ah Hua has not given up.In the end, he made a foul in the penalty area and made a penalty kick into the goal of 54. 3:2, in the time counted by seconds, the Oranje is still alive.The building will fall, but Ah Hua still wants to hold the falling boulder.However, after the kick-off in the front court of 54, Li Bin and A Fang skillfully brought the ball to the corner flag area without giving the opponent any more chances. After a chaotic fight, the referee blew three long whistles.The coyotes in light green jerseys cheered and rushed into the field, and most of the owners of the field fell to the ground in frustration.Even though I have personally experienced such a scene, I still have mixed feelings in the stands.

Where will we be in a week?

"Brother! Sister! Wow, there are Brother Ke Ke and Brother Mi Le, you are all here!" When we reached the railing in front of the stands, A Fang rushed here, "You guys are going to win next week too! ! I have heard Captain Yanba say that our two schools made an appointment to meet in the finals last season, so please come!”

Lao Ye was naturally chatting and laughing with his younger brother, and Yue Yin took out his mobile phone to help the younger brother take pictures without losing the opportunity.Mi Le and I congratulated him and walked down the stairs.

I met Li Bin.

"Ke Ke?" He was a little surprised.

"Hello. Long time no see. Congratulations." My eyes wandered to the wall, and I answered as calmly as possible.

"That..." He lowered his head and rubbed his fingers again. The two were clearly talking, but neither looked at the other.

"how?"

"It's nothing. You guys have to work hard."

"it is good."

I walked past him, but I didn't know how to answer when Mi Le asked him later.

But Mi Le didn't ask me, never did.We walked near the passage and saw Pu Yun there.He drooped his head and didn't call me big brother as excitedly as usual after seeing him.The two of us went up and patted him on the shoulder without saying anything.After a while, Pu Yun asked me to go to Ah Hua first, and told him to apologize to all my teammates later.I agreed, and was about to take Mi Le to leave, but Pu Yun left the latter behind.I don't know what they will say, but Mi Le will definitely not say anything like "I'll blow you up" at this time.I didn't eavesdrop, and went to the sidelines to find Ah Hua.His body was tired and heavy, and the two of us chatted against the stadium wall for a while, listening to his panting the whole time.I couldn't do anything, and my friend couldn't save the team in the end. This kind of bitterness and helplessness cannot be comforted by insignificant words.I can only be by my side.I didn't tell him what Pu Yun asked me to say until his breathing became a little more even.

"It's not his fault. If you want to blame, you have to blame me, the captain."

"You have done your best, don't blame yourself so much. If Ah Rong is not injured, you may be the ones who advanced—is he okay?"

"It's stretched to the leg. It's not a serious injury. But it hurts. You need to rest for a while."

I don't know how they should tell Ah Rong about today's result.Thinking about it made me even more miserable.We both stopped talking.Sunshine jumps on the runway where the crowd has dispersed.Lao Ye and Yue Yin walked over, with A Fang and Peng Jingbai behind them.Putting away the joy of victory, they greeted Ahua one by one, and Ahua sincerely blessed everyone.Wait for me a moment.I said to Lao Ye.Take your time.Yue Yin replied.They are gone.Friends, rivals, we are always in the middle of these identities, but it seems that after all the hard work, we all return to the tranquility under the sun in the end.

Pu Yun and Mi Le are back.sorry.This is Pu Yun's first sentence after meeting Ah Hua.Don't think so, everyone wants to win, that's just a little short.Ah Hua touched his partner's cheek, the tears hadn't dried yet.

"Brother, you are right. You told me last year that no one can replace Brother Xian, and Brother Xian is always himself. I didn't understand until today. How do you say that sentence?" Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog 'Yeah." He smiled sadly.

"Stop talking about yourself. You're not a dog." I ruffled his curly hair.

"Not necessarily, if he is a dog, it must be a small and fierce poodle." Mi Le put his hands on Pu Yun's shoulders and shook his small body, "In my case, he is super witty. The brave, loyal and handsome Akita Inu."

Everyone laughed.Pu Yun was quite satisfied.The conversation suddenly changed to discussing what kind of dog he was like.

"What's Peve? Corgi?"

Hearing this, I pushed Ahua hard, are my legs so short?

Mi Le lifted her chin, stroked the non-existent beard, frowned, and thought about it: "Ke Ke, at first glance, others may think it is a cold and precious breed, it doesn't feel so Easy to approach. In fact, he is a top-notch, cute and cute little Shiba Inu, or Hei Shiba!" Before I finished speaking, I pulled Mi Le into my arms to "settle the score", but I was so happy in my heart that I almost forgot The game just now.

That's great.The sky is blue, the wind is blowing gently, the stadium is empty, and the bell of the teaching building seems to never ring for a long time.

"However, Little Akita and Little Heichai! Listen up! I'm not allowed to lose any of the next two games!" Little Curly regained his energy, "Your final opponent is a wolf! Super fierce! Wolves! You have to be brave, turn into hounds, and beat them into huskies in your own way!"

of course.own way.Everyone is unique. Perhaps only by knowing yourself and becoming yourself can you catch up with and surpass others.The distant goal may be just a shadow in the memory and vision. Before putting together those scattered fragments, we have to constantly grope and confirm our body in the dark, so as not to lose him.

We all still have time and opportunities.It's not too late.

"Ke Ke, don't you want to know what Pu Yun said to me?" Mi Le tugged at my sleeve as he walked towards the school gate.

"No guess. Will you tell me?"

"Why are you being polite to me? I was hoping that you would take the initiative to ask." He pretended to be a little disappointed, but he couldn't hide his smug smile.

"Okay, dear student Mi Le, can you tell me part of the content of the cordial meeting with you in the passageway of the junior high school gymnasium of Jiangyuan Foreign Language School 15 minutes and 23 seconds ago, respected student Pu Yun?" I also learned that way of talking in a strange and emotionless manner, and as a result, Mi Le gave me a "double hit" with my knee.

"He really wanted to win, but he crushed himself. I can understand him quite well. In fact, we have the same things in our minds." Mi Le sighed, rolling his eyes, "Old Ye before What are you talking about, I hope that both myself and my younger brother can enter the finals, so that at least one of them can win the championship. That’s what he meant too.”

Why didn't I think so?Today's hope that the other school can win is definitely not just because they don't want to meet Li Bin.

"However, he is more advanced than I thought. Although he looks serious, his little head is full of those messy animations." Mi Le said, jumped two steps, and snorted unconvinced, "But He never beat me up, and why should he call me a brat! Tell me, when is his birthday?"

I thought about it, took out my phone and checked the information on QQ, and told him with a helpless and gloating smile that Pu Yun's birthday is June 6, ten days older than him.Upon hearing this, Mi Le, who was still jumping just now, was immediately discouraged, and angrily kicked away a small stone on the road.

So what else did he say to you?

It's kind of... embarrassing to say it.No, I still can't say it.I'll send it to you on my phone.

"You must win the championship. You must not be beaten by anyone other than me! Brat, I'm counting on you, big brother."
