The two teams quickly got into position. Li Ye was still a little ahead of the midfield, about thirty steps away from the 100-step line. He was still a passer and shooter. The main shooter was the Panthers. He was also the team leader on the field.
.
The other passer is no longer a Nine-Headed Bird, but Mantis player Qi Yong. Qi Yong finally changed from a backup to a starter. This is the first time Qi Yong has played in a game.
The reason why he was able to play was because the team leader Wang Su believed that Qi Yong was a newbie and did not have the careful thinking of the veteran players.
The little idea is terrible, it will cause the flying shark not to catch the ball, and more balls will be passed to the black panther.
The two tacklers are led by the Bucks. He was named the third best tackler last year. He is the most valuable player of the Ningwang team besides Fei Shark.
"Dang!" A crisp gong sounded, the game started, and the time official lit the first incense.
The polo was thrown high and was snatched by the passer of the left prison guard. He hit it with one stroke and landed accurately in the hands of the shooter Tie Eel. Tie Eel did not hesitate to shoot a ball from seventy steps away.
After shooting the hole, a black shadow flashed out. The stag intercepted the polo ball in the air, and there was cheering all around.
The polo hit the ground and both sides scrambled for it. The Buck took the lead and shot it out with one shot. His left arm was hit by the opponent's club with a muffled sound of 'Puff!'.
Fortunately, he was protected by thick leather armor. Although it was painful, he was not injured.
Tie Eel made an apologetic gesture to show that he didn't mean it.
In fact, except for the Yang family polo team, which is notoriously mean and shameless, the other polo teams still have a sense of proportion and will not deliberately kill someone, break someone's arm, or deliberately hit someone's vitals, such as the back of the neck. However,
It is common to kick down a war horse.
The polo ball passed by the Bucks was caught by Li Ye. He was around the 170-step line. This distance was not allowed to shoot the ball, and it had to be within 150 steps.
Li Ye galloped on his horse, and before the opponent's passer could catch up, he made a cross kick and passed the polo to the mantis player on the other side.
He himself got rid of the opponent on horseback and sprinted towards the 100-step line. The mantis hands cooperated extremely well. He received the ball and made a diagonal pass. The polo fell just in front of Li Ye and entered the 100-step line.
Someone yelled: "Stop him, he's going to shoot the ball!"
The three left guard polo players were frightened and rushed towards Li Ye, but they were too late. Li Ye shot a long shot from a hundred steps away and the ball went into the hole.
As soon as the first counterattack started, the Ningwang team scored and took a 1-0 lead.
More than 10,000 fans of the Ningwang team jumped to their feet and cheered with excitement. The cheers resounded throughout the Tai Chi Palace stadium.

Li Ye's unexpected appearance not only frustrated Yang Guozhong and his son's plan, but also disrupted the deployment of the left prison guard team. Their interceptors focused on defending the Black Panthers. The appearance of the flying shark made the Black Panthers a supporting role.
But the player does not dare to change his strategy without authorization, even if the team is on the field and is not allowed to do so, his duty is to implement the pre-match tactical arrangements to the letter.
There were no timeouts or temporary substitutions in polo matches in the Tang Dynasty. Tactics could only be adjusted after the first half.
Li Ye had no one to guard against him, so he played very smoothly. After the opponent just scored a point to tie, Li Ye showed off his power again and scored with a shot from 90 steps, and the score was overtaken again.
At this time, Li Lin came to Gao Lishi and bowed, "Thank you Gao Weng for coming to cheer for the King Ning team!"
Gao Lishi smiled and said: "I have a hunch this time, the King Ning team is going to qualify!"
"Where! Where! The strength of King Ning's team is far inferior to that of Zuojian Gate Guards. We are here to learn from the strong team."
"The strength of King Ning's team is not as good as that of the Zuojian Gate Guards, but it's different when you have a strong foreign aid. Li Xiangguo and I are praising you for your discernment and recruiting Fei Shark."
"What a coincidence!"
"But I don't quite understand, why don't you accept him as an official player?"
Li Lin smiled bitterly, "Of course I wanted to recruit him as a regular player, but he didn't want to. He wanted to keep his freedom."
"Haha! In that case, how about transferring him to me?"
Li Lin had a headache for a while, and Gao Lishi seemed to be joking, but if she refused and angered Gao Lishi, she would suffer.
After all, polo is not everything in life, it is just a branch on the big tree of life. It is not worth destroying the whole tree for just one branch.
"Of course there is no problem with the junior, but he is a black player, so he has to be willing."
Li Linfu immediately smiled and said, "This matter is all on me!"
……….
Li Lin returned to her seat with worries, and her brother Li Yu asked, "What did Gao Weng say? It made my brother frown!"
Li Lin sighed and said: "Gao Weng has fallen in love with Fei Shark!"
Li Yu nodded, "Sure enough, I guessed it right."
"Guess what?"
"Gao Weng came here for Flying Shark. Look, he's gone!"
Li Lin turned around and saw Gao Lishi and Li Linfu leaving the stadium one after another.
"Brother promised him?"
"Can I refuse to agree? Not to mention his power, he is kind to his father. Based on this, I can't refuse, but..."
Li Lin said with a worried look on her face: "I'm worried that Fei Shark has a tough character and won't play for the Tianpeng team. Gao Weng will think that I'm causing trouble."
"Don't worry, we'll talk about it after the game!"
At this time, the cheers continued continuously. During the time when Li Lin went to meet Gao Lishi, Fei Shark and Black Panther each scored a goal, and the other side also scored a goal.
The gong sounded at the end of the first half, and the Ningwang Polo Team led the Zuojian Guards Team 4-2.
Yang Guozhong originally just came to watch the Ningwang team make fun of how the Ningwang team was slaughtered by the left guard, but unexpectedly, his face turned green after watching the first half of the game.
As soon as the first half of the game ended, Yang Guozhong angrily approached the left prison guard General He Qiong.
"You bastard, did you have a secret deal with King Si Ning?"
Yang Guozhong's rebuke was so straightforward that it made He Qiong's scalp numb. This was not a high-ranking official playing power, he was clearly a scoundrel with shallow moral integrity and talent. After all, he was a third-grade general!
He Qiong was also very angry, but he couldn't afford to offend the Yang family, which was rising rapidly.
He could only hold back his anger and explained: "The eldest son told me that Fei Shark's arm was broken, so today's game was planned for Fei Shark's absence. Unexpectedly, he was fine at all. Our deployment was in a mess, and no one was able to do it."
Now you know how to play ball!"
He Qiong directly passed the responsibility to Yang Xuan. Yang Guozhong also knew that he was in the wrong and asked, "How will we play in the second half?"
"How else can we fight? Use two people to double-team Fei Shak so that he has no chance to shoot the ball."
"It's best to really break his arm!" Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth.
"Please calm down, Mr. Yang. Now we are two goals behind. If we are called for a foul, the opponent will directly shoot a free throw. How can we catch up?"
Although He Qiong wants to curry favor with the Yang family, he also cannot afford to offend the Ning Wang family. It depends on the owner to beat the dog!
"Shijun Yang, we will do our best!"
Yang Guozhong snorted coldly and said: "Perhaps I am a soft-spoken person! I just hope that you can show your bravery in the second half and recover the score, and don't let Mrs. Guo Guo vent her anger on the general!"
