Hunter and Hussar

Chapter 62 The Last Hope
"Everyone, don't be burdened. The first half of the game is over, don't worry about it. Our goal now is very clear, which is to equalize first and then overtake the score. Do you understand? Don't think about other things, all responsibilities are on the coach Take it. 30 minutes to go, we can do it!"

In the dressing room at halftime, the coach didn't scold us or say anything about the "black 3 minutes" in the first half.She was half-bent, clapping her hands over and over again to encourage the disciples sitting in a row, her hoarse voice made me uncomfortable.

I am really "smart" today.Zhao Rui was sitting next to me. When he picked me up, he didn't blame me, but just put his hand on my shoulder.

"Rui Yang, you can rest in the second half." The coach said, lowering his head and stroking his head with concern.Boss Ye was a little surprised, and the desire to continue the game could be seen just from his eyes—his parents rarely came to see him together, but they immediately obeyed the arrangement.

Before that, the coach directly asked Yan Xi to take advantage of the intermission to warm up.

Mi Le and I sat next to Ye Ruiyang, trying to comfort him, but he just smiled and said to leave him alone and prepare for the game.

I pushed myself to the edge of a cliff, and now I can only accept it all and continue to fight.The score was behind, the number of away goals was tied, and there were only two substitutions left, but there was still a full half of the game, and we still had people on the bench.Even if the bull has pierced the matador's belly with its horns, as long as the proud fighter is not dead, he can still hold up his sharp sword and continue to fight with his opponent in the dusty bullring.I felt a wave of blood gradually churning in my head, and it was already difficult to think about the problem rationally.

"Guys, you can see that today Wu Wenda and Pu Yun are in poor condition. No. 33 will not work. The second half will definitely be reversed! Let's continue to play Pu Yun's side. I know him too well. He is not as good as you think. So confident, keep rushing, his confidence will be crushed by us sooner or later!" I stood up suddenly, and said to everyone I don't know why I wanted to say, "Don't worry about attacking, go bite the other school, bite Kill them. Leave the defense to me, I will never let them score again! Not even death!"

"Well said! Fight with them! This is our territory!" Xuexue also jumped up.The captain asked everyone to form a circle again, and the coaches also joined in, and the slogan that one middle school must win vibrated in the locker room.There was a burst of cheers from the stands as we stepped onto the pitch again.Even though we were behind, our family and friends still supported us unconditionally.This is our home field, a home field that no one can break.Taking advantage of Yue Yin's announcement of the replacement, I hit the door frame hard with the palm of my hand with the poem written on it, as if I was asking this friend to fight side by side with me again.

With all the hard work and hope, the last 30 minutes of the game began.The roles played by the two teams on the field changed positions. The foreign school changed to defend and counterattack, while our side aggressively pressed the attack.After removing a central defender, Yan Xi's appearance changed our formation to four backs. Xuexue and Taotao needed to cover a larger defensive area, and they had to run even more vigorously.The badly injured matador was displaying swordsmanship vividly in the minutes of his life, Yan Xi's personal dribbling, the captain's long pass transfer, Mu Zheng's impact and pressure, our three strongest players showed their special abilities, tearing The defense line of the foreign school.While senior Mingming and Yuan Yikong stood firmly on the wall, I also relatively expanded my attack range, and firmly blocked the chances of counterattacks from other schools.Time keeps passing where we can't see it. I hope it will go slower, so that we can have a chance to catch up with the dawn of victory.

High-intensity frontcourt pressure is an invisible hand, which pinches the opponent, making it difficult for him to breathe or breathe.The home audience used the most familiar voice to convey the cheering signal. The call from the close people made the heavy body grab the energy to keep moving forward.We carried out blasting again on our right side, that is, the left side of the foreign school, and went on and on.The opponent obviously also anticipated our tactics, and made concerted efforts to fix the focus of defense here.This was a fierce battle, with collisions, muffled noises blocking the ball, and shouts for assistance from teammates.It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun showed no signs of fading. Like thousands of years ago in distant Greece or Rome, it let the intense light shine on the battlefield, reflecting fierce battles without gunpowder smoke or blood. , the horizon undulates in a trance beyond it.

Our offensives were resolved one by one by the foreign school, but the opponent gradually showed slowness and fatigue after resisting the violent attack.After Taotao hit the middle, Mu Zheng headed the goal a few meters away, and the well-positioned goalkeeper made a superb lunge with his chest, miraculously keeping the ball out of the goal.The defender hurriedly made a clearance, and the ball fell to Wu Wenda's feet.He was about to turn around and organize a counterattack, Xuexue charged fiercely in front of him, and grabbed the ball without any explanation.Wu Wenda yanked hurriedly, and when Xuexue fell to the ground, he still poked the ball to the captain with his toe.The referee signaled that the attacking side was in favor and did not call a foul.The captain took advantage of the situation and gave a through ball like a scalpel. The ball passed through the space between the two defenders and found Yan Xi who was on the left side of the penalty area.Seeing that the situation was not good, the goalkeeper of the other school abandoned the door and went out, trying to defuse Yan Xi's one-handed attack. No. 14 faced the attacking goalkeeper calmly, with a light dunk, the goalkeeper missed.Yan Xi, who bypassed him, easily pushed with his left foot, and the ball entered the empty goal without any suspense.Yan Xi's arms were crossed on his chest again, and we knew that the two teams had returned to the same starting line again.And in less than 10 minutes, whoever can score the goal may completely end the game.

"Jiangyuan No. 24 Squadron replaced No. 22 Zhang Taotao and replaced No. 15 Mi Le. There are 22 minutes left in the game, everyone, keep going!" Soon after the score was equalized, Mi Le became the last card we played. His exuberant speed and impact will be the last dagger at the Bulls' weakness.Mi Le, dressed in white, was like the white horse. He rushed into the arena and launched another charge towards the orange army formation.The first time he touched the ball was to face Pu Yun's defense. No. 33 was no longer as calm as he was in the friendly match, but immediately stabbed the ball between the opponent's legs.Once the ball was scored, Mi Le swung the ball extremely wide, with a confidence that almost despised the opponent.Pu Yun turned around with great effort, and Mi Le had already run past him.The panting chubby couldn't keep up with the fast horse on the side, and reached out in vain to try to stop the attack by fouling.However, he didn't even grab Mi Le's arm, and fell to the ground again.After passing Pu Yun, Mi Le sprinted forward again. Yin Rirong had already arrived from the middle and rushed towards him without any explanation. fall down.The referee's whistle blows, along with a flashing yellow card.Pu Yun, who got up, ignored the green artificial grass and black rubber particles on his face, and staggered to his teammate, probably wanting to apologize to him.Yin Rirong didn't say anything, just touched his head.

A month ago, I still felt a little bit unbearable for Tong Jing and Xi Zhong to be eliminated by us.But when the score was really stalemate, seeing this scene, even my friends and I on the court did not feel any emotion.I just hope this time the set piece can change the score.

The captain and Mi Le walked to the ball.The ball did not pass to the penalty area, but was lightly flicked by Mi Le, and directly passed to the captain's feet.Yin Rirong rushed out of the crowd to make a steal, but was caught upright by the captain.After throwing him off, Liu Chi came up to him again. Facing the second general blocking the way, Kuang Hao was not afraid, and used the "fried meatball" move, using the speed of his left and right feet to pass through the gap The captain of the foreign school.At this time, Shi Zhenhua had rushed from behind, and another central defender from another school also dodged in front of him, ready to pinch back and forth.Seeing this, Kuang Hao lightly pushed the ball slightly to the left.When everyone's eyes turned away from him, Mu Zheng received a pass in the penalty area and completed the bow and arrow.

"Jiang Yuan No. 23 Squadron scored a goal! Goal scorer No. 3 Mu Zheng, the assist came from captain Kuang Hao, and the score was 2:10!" It was an indescribably crisp shot that instantly pierced the outside school throat.After scoring the goal, Mu Zheng shouted and ran in the sun, rushed to the front of the stands, and once again saluted the standard military salute.Teacher Zhou must be in the stands, and his father must also be there. Although we have never seen him, and never heard him mention it, Mu Zheng definitely wants to give this goal to them.Everyone, including me, ran up there, swarming from behind, scrambling to hug our goal-scorer.Yue Yin who put down the microphone didn't care about taking pictures, and jumped directly to someone from the broadcasting room.The coach also rushed up, taking advantage of this opportunity to tell some of our defensive players in our ears.When they returned to the field, three players from other schools had already stood on the sidelines.The three of them were replaced in one breath, and the decisive battle completely entered the white-hot stage.The bull has less than [-] minutes left in his life, bear its desperate blow, or make up for the deadly sword, the wounded matador has countless choices to win victory and glory before the sun goes down.

The foreign school replaced two forwards and a tall guard, and removed Wu Wenda and the other three who were doing nothing.Pu Yun was still on the court, which was quite a surprise.He formed a three-back with Liu Chi and the newly replaced defender. Shi Zhenhua and two forwards went straight to the frontcourt, forming a strange 313 formation.Even if there are no bullets in the gun and the bayonet is incomplete in the fight, the stubborn opponent will never surrender. "The wind is rustling and the water is cold", in the ancient past, Jing Ke probably felt this tragic feeling when he threw his only dagger while supporting his seriously injured left leg.But no matter how much we admire the courage of our opponents, we cannot go down in the last 10 minutes.

The bull covered in bruises kicked its hooves and charged again with gushing anger, like a pack of wolves with flashing green eyes in a deep mountain forest in the cold night, pounced on the hunter.The foreign school completely gave up the midfield, leaving Yin Rirong alone to conduct the transition, and more directly used the most direct long pass to attack our defense line.They created several chances. In a chaotic corner kick, Liu Chi had already pushed the ball towards the goal, but was blocked by Mi Le who was guarding the goal line.The captain of the other school held his head and sighed with great regret, and made a sound like a giant beast, while Mi Le and I slammed into the chest in front of the goal, and then defended Shi Zhenhua's header in the corner kick attack together. .In the second half, I had completed four saves. The desperate offense of the other school was eclipsed under those gloves. After their shots were rejected one by one, the trusting eyes of my teammates filled me from the inside out. strength.

I must also provide them with strength and hope, with my own performance.

Time is infinitely approaching the end.At this moment, I hope that it will go faster, my life will go faster, so that one second becomes two or three seconds.I know we're only a few minutes away from kicking the finals.It is impossible for a person to come close every time. I will succeed, just this time.

In a blink of an eye, we completed a steal at the front of the penalty area. The captain picked the ball to the side, and Mi Le, who was the most energetic in the team, received the ball.Pu Yun was a little behind him, and a race that was close to public humiliation began again.Pu Yun, who ran all over the field, couldn't even catch up with Mi Le's taillights, and was left behind without any suspense the moment Mi Le accelerated.He still wants to try his best to catch up, but his body has reached the limit.People have many things that can be cultivated the day after tomorrow, but in sports, the upper limit of physical fitness determines the ceiling that Pu Yun can touch.For countless days and nights, he had tirelessly tried to catch up with the person whom he had always placed high hopes on, but now he fell into his own shadow in embarrassment for the third time.He held on reluctantly, trying to get up, but he was a little powerless.No one can help him, this is the arena, and the teammates are still chasing Mi Le, who single-handedly went to the penalty area outside the school. As opponents, it is difficult for us to take him into consideration.Maybe his parents were in the stands too, I haven't seen them in almost three years.They don't know how it feels to watch their son try his best to stand up.

But Pu Yun still stood up, limping.Mi Le has already entered the restricted area of ​​the foreign school. Except for Yin Rirong, the opponent who returned to the defense and the teammates who followed up did not arrive.If it were Liu Chi, he would definitely yell to scare Mi Le. In fact, he also yelled, but it was far away and could not affect my partner.Yin Rirong still didn't say a word, and threw himself sideways on the turf, trying to block Mi Le's shot by blocking the hole of the gun.No. 22 of Yizhong swung his not-so-good left foot. The ball brushed off the toe of No. 33 from another school, and it will pass over the goalkeeper's fingers.This is an out-and-out solo ride, which is not inferior to the captain's previous assists in passing five levels and killing six generals.

Miller's shot slowly rolled to the left of the goal.The goal is scored, and the game is completely over.

I can finally see the celebration he's been talking about for so long.

However, when the ball was about to enter the net, the ball bounced up strangely, probably due to the unevenness of the field. After all, the conditions of many professional fields in our country are quite bad, and the artificial turf in schools is even more pitted.The ball changed slightly, and finally hit the outside of the goal post, and was hugged tightly by the goalkeeper who got up, just like hugging a surviving baby.I grabbed my hair with my glove, but still called out to Mi Le who ran back to defend.

"4 minutes of stoppage time in the second half. Keep going!"

Yue Yin passed on the final time, and everyone showed unprecedented fatigue.Pu Yun and Shi Zhenhua's physical fitness is completely overdrawn, and it is difficult to make moves even when they get the ball. Only Yin Rirong can run in the midfield from another school. Maybe he has saved all his energy for speaking.No. 33 from another school found a space on the outside and shot from a long distance.But No. 33 of No. 5 Middle School did not let him get his wish. I volleyed the ball and hugged it in my arms.For the fifth save, there was a burst of applause from the stands, and the crowd in front of him scattered away.

It's about to end.

However, now is the time to switch offense and defense.Nail the coffin!
I saw Mi Le's position on the right, and I threw the ball to him with a hand throw.Like in countless training sessions, he received the ball firmly.Yin Rirong suddenly appeared in front of him, and Mi Le avoided him with a deft back turn, but it was unexpected that Pu Yun rushed to the sidewalk with the last bit of strength and hope.He poked the ball and tried to control it.Miller fought back immediately, and the ball rolled to the bottom line under the entanglement of the two.Yin Rirong and Yuan Yikong also joined the competition. In the chaos, the ball went out of the baseline, and the linesman pointed the flag at the corner flag area.

This may be the last chance for an outside school to attack.After the corner kick is defended, it is basically over.

Yoon Il-young, who was doomed not to play in the final, walked to the corner flagpole without saying a word, waiting for the referee's whistle.He raised his right hand high, but the linesman put the flag horizontally in front of him.There were some shoving and quarrels in the penalty area, and the referee was admonishing the players on both sides not to pull.This is beneficial to us, and it is the opponent's time that is delayed.

"Mile, you stand at the back post and guard." Seeing that the goalkeepers from other schools rushed into our penalty area, I patted my partner on the shoulder and handed over my back to him.

"Okay." He agreed immediately.

"People who are optimistic about themselves! Pay attention to the second landing point!" I gave the final instruction.In fact, I don't need to say that the top players in other schools all have personal caregivers.

Everything is in order.end it.

Yin Rirong's corner kick was taken, the ball was fast and rushed forward.Both Shi Zhenhua and Liu Chi are here, and those are their two players with the best headers.But He Mingming and Yuan Yikong are also there, closely following them, and I am also taking care of here.Even if they can grab a point, it is difficult for them to attack the goal.Several people collided into a ball, and the ball was rubbed by someone, and it flew behind me, which was also the far end of the door.

I realized something, and in a hurry, I twisted my body and rushed back, Mi Le must have also noticed the danger.Among the dense crowd, a familiar but short figure appeared with his back to the sun.I was making a save, and Mi Le was blocking, but it was just above the two of us, in the gap left, the ball got in under the shadow brought by the sun, and rubbed against the lintel.

The world was as quiet as if nothing was left.Immediately, there was a burst of vibrations in the heart, so big that it was unreal, it didn't seem to burst out from a person with a weak body.This voice has nothing to do with us, but affects our destiny.He took off his orange jersey and threw it into the blue sky and the sun.After falling and standing up countless times, he didn't run out of energy, nor gave up on himself. Instead, he seized the last hope and pushed us into the abyss with his worst header among the crowd.

Is he really my nemesis?The coup de grace really came at the last moment.

It was just a little bit.Almost, nothing.
