When the ball fell, the two heads began to fight for it. Zhang Ye was taller than Su Jin and had the air superiority. He used his headbutt to push the ball towards his own player. Before the ball hit the ground, the player stretched out his foot and kicked the ball up, lightly jumping in front of him.
The member of the Wuming team rushed forward and had already left him behind. After three kicks and two passes, he arrived at the end of the court of the Wuming team. He saw a flash of red shadow. It was Zhang Ye who slapped his horse and hit his knee. He kicked up a black cowhide.
The ball flew through the eye of the wind and hit the net with the sound of wind.
A gong sounded. The student who was keeping score on the sidelines took up a big pen and wrote a big one on the white paper of the Red Horse team. The score was already one to zero.
Su Jin was dumbfounded. He knew that these people were powerful, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would be given a ball by one of his own players without even touching the ball.
"How's it going? You know how powerful this man is." Zhang Ye raised his feet and patted the dust off his boots with his hands without even looking at Su Jin who was standing next to him. But this was obviously meant for Su Jin to hear.
Su Jin's pupils were shrinking and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's still unclear who will win."
"I think you won't die until you reach the Yellow River, and you won't shed tears until you see the coffin." Zhang Ye laughed and retreated.
Su Jin shouted at everyone: "Show me back."
The somewhat dejected crowd cheered up and shouted in unison; Zhu Tianshun hunched over in his own half and smiled flatteringly at Zhang Ye: "Brother Zhang, let them swallow a few more eggs to help me get rid of my bad temper."
Zhang Ye said: "That's natural, otherwise I'd be sorry for the big dark horse you gave me, haha."
Cao Min played the bamboo flute and transferred the ball to Su Jin's side. Wei Songhe dribbled the ball and sprinted in front of the Red Horse players to block Wei Songhe's feet and sent the ball to Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi quickly looked around and pushed the ball forward to the side.
Su Jin's foot was in the corner. Su Jin stopped the ball and two other players from the other team quickly gathered around him. Su Jin saw Wu Hengxin rushing to the middle like a big blind bear. He quickly tipped the ball with his toes just as the two people gathered around to seal the route.
He picked it up and passed it through the gap between the two people to Wu Hengxin's feet.
Wu Hengxin stretched out his foot to stabilize the ball and even had time to glance at the Red Horse team's romantic eyes, swung his thighs and shouted: "Fuck you."
The ball flew past the temples of the two Red Horse players with a whistling sound.
Su Jin's heart was filled with joy and he said: "I have it." But he saw the ball passing through the air and heading straight into the sky. Even the graceful frame did not touch the far behind the forest. Chickens were flying, dogs were jumping, and birds were swarming in the forest.
Lala flew up to avoid this sudden disaster.
The crowd of onlookers expressed regret, and the Red Horse supporters laughed so hard that they pointed at Wu Hengxin and ridiculed him.
The Red Horse team members also laughed and leaned forward. Zhu Tianshun raised his head and said, "Are you hunting birds? Please don't disturb the birds, okay? They are building nests in trees to hatch eggs, but you use a rubber ball to smash their nests without thinking about them.
Is God so virtuous?"
Another person laughed and said: "It's not about hunting birds, it's about learning from Houyi. It's only a day like this. Please do a good job and leave a bright light for us."
Everyone roared with laughter. Wu Hengxin was so ashamed that he lowered his head and walked back slowly. Su Jin walked forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged and treat their words as farts."
Wu Hengxin nodded gratefully, cheered up, jumped twice, turned around and bowed to defend.
The ball fell into the hands of the Red Horse team. The Red Horse team took advantage of their technical advantages and passed the ball to Su Jin's side without even touching the ground. Before that, a Red Horse player raised his foot and fired the ball angrily, and the score became two to zero.
Everyone on the field had different expressions. The fans of the unknown team sighed and shook their heads with helpless expressions. However, the fans of the Red Horse team were cheerful and began to speak wildly.
"A bunch of ragtag people came to play Cuju, so everyone was laughing their ass off."
"Doesn't it feel good to be beaten like glutinous rice balls? I've seen people who like to torture others, but I've never seen people who like to torture themselves so much."
"I see how many duck eggs each member of the Nameless Team will have to take home after this scene. It's pitiful."
"Why are you pitiful? People have duck eggs to eat late, do you have any?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I am so envious. Hahaha."
The cynicism and sarcasm from the crowd were like sharp knives, reaching the ears of the unknown team member without missing a beat. Everyone's face was sullen, their muscles were tangled, and they were about to go crazy.
A group of prostitutes watched silently and gritted their teeth without saying a word.
"Brother Su, don't be discouraged. You will definitely win." A sharp voice suddenly rang through the entire audience. When everyone heard the voice, they saw a white-robed young man with a red face, covering his mouth and eyes, showing a look of panic.
Seeing the embarrassment of Chang Sujin and others, Xia Silin felt really uncomfortable and didn't know what was going on, so he blurted out this sentence; after shouting it, he felt shy and his face turned red.
Su Jin was greatly moved. He stretched out his thumbs towards Xia Silin and clapped his hands together and shouted: "Pick up your spirits. Even if you lose, you must lose like a man. Don't be downcast and lose your own spirit, let alone the competition."
The art of Cuju has just begun. Technology is not the decisive factor. Unity and perseverance may not mean there is no chance of a comeback."
Wang Anshi and Wei Songhe agreed: "You're right, let's fight them."
The Unnamed Team launched their second attack. This time Wang Anshi reached the front and received the pass from Su Jin. He kicked the ball and flew straight away. Everyone thought that the ball would definitely go in. The fans on the sidelines were ready to raise their arms and cheer.
But the ball accidentally missed the line and hit the edge of the winding steel ring and bounced into the field.
Everyone had no time to regret that the ball was already under the control of the Red Horse players and quickly advanced to the Wuming team's side. After three passes and two passes, Zhang Ye pulled out of the gap and swung the ball vigorously; everyone's hearts were ice-cold. This was the ending of 3-0.
Already.
However, suddenly a white shadow flashed and a man jumped out in mid-air and blocked the heavy ball. Hearing the sound of the ball hitting the man's chest, he almost lost his breath.
.
That person was Su Jin. His risk-taking pounce really blocked the vicious ball, but the force of the ball was so heavy that his face turned pale and there was a dull pain in his chest.
As everyone screamed, Su Jin threw him to the ground. Wu Hengxin, Wei Songhe and others rushed to help Su Jin, pushed the ball forward in front of him and shouted: "Hurry up and attack."
Everyone was waking up from a dream. Wu Hengxin picked up the ball on tiptoe and roared forward, rushing forward for most of the field. He kicked the ball to the feet of Wang Anshi at the front. Wang Anshi bit his lower lip and turned around gracefully. He raised his foot and skillfully shot the ball with a perfect arc.
Passing through the red horse team's romantic field, there was a sudden burst of cheers. The score became two to one.
Su Jin's tenacious pounce ignited everyone's fighting spirit. During the half, the two sides went back and forth with exciting and thrilling shots. At the end of the half, the score was fixed at 6 to 6; even the members of the Wuming team couldn't believe it.
As a result, they cheered loudly after the half-time gong sounded.
"Did you win? Why are you so happy?" the Red Horse team members sarcastically asked.
"Sooner or later, we will teach you how to be powerful." Wu Hengxin was so confident that he fired back while wiping his sweat.
The players on both sides were panting, and the frustration of the Red Horse players was palpable. They were originally full of confidence, but they did not expect to be blocked so tenaciously. Several times the must-goal was blocked by the opponent at the risk of being kicked. This was a huge blow to morale; the opponent's counterattack was also so sharp that Wang Anshi and Su Jin moved around in front of their own court like butterflies, quite effortlessly.
During the break, both sides panted heavily, drank herbal tea and water, and came forward with their own pumps. They talked endlessly, some came up with ideas, and some helped fan the air.
Zhang Ye's heart was on fire. Seeing this posture and this competition was a bit mysterious. Zhang Ye couldn't help but peek at Cao Min. When he saw Cao Min's face, Shen Duan was sitting on a chair drinking tea. He didn't know what he was thinking.
I can't help but think of what Cao Min told himself before the game: "No matter what, we must win this match to break Su Jin's arrogance. If things are done this time, it will be of great benefit to you next autumn. You belong to Jingdong Road." The invigilator of Jingdong Road for your son is Huang Shilang from the Ministry of Rites, who has a close relationship with me; I won’t say anything more. Your father’s letter asked me to take more care of you, and you must do something for me.”
Zhang Ye is an old man. He spent a year in Shanju Academy in Bianliang, but his name dropped when the ranking was announced. Although Sun Shan was able to get into the palace with my protection, his father said that he had no choice but not to take this path. Everyone in the court was watching secretly, hoping to catch him. What's the reason for this? It's not against the law to force the son of an official into an official position, but in recent years, several ministers have been talking about "redundant officials" every day, so that no one dares to raise this issue because of their own affairs. It's helpless for the official's son to join the officialdom. Then they went to major academies one after another to try their luck.
Zhang Ye knew that he was not the candidate for the imperial examination. Master Cao's intention was obviously to imply that he could order someone to be exempted during the imperial examination, which greatly increased the possibility of passing the examination. Master Cao was willing to help him, of course he had to express that although he had given money and materials. It's not a lot, but this matter must be accomplished no matter what.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ye felt irritated and stretched out his hand to push away the crowd of people gathered around him and said: "Go, go, go, don't be annoying here. We have to discuss the countermeasures for the second half. Let's go and cool down."
After everyone was driven aside, Zhang Ye gathered the team members together and whispered: "It's a bit mysterious to continue like this."
Everyone asked: "What should I do? Ball Head has an idea."
Zhang Ye looked around and said a few words quickly in an inaudible voice; everyone looked strange and Zhu Tianshun wiped his sweat and said: "Then will Mr. Cao expel us from the stage?"
Zhang Ye smiled strangely and said, "Just do as I say and you will have me in everything."
Seeing that he was confident, everyone felt relieved and had weird smiles on their faces. Zhu Tianshun licked his lips and said, "This is really enjoyable."
Over there, Su Jin and others were talking happily about the half-time match, and everyone around them was also talking non-stop.
Su Jindao: "The second half will be more difficult, but as long as we continue our tenacity in the first half, we will win this game."
Everyone shouted: "We must win!!"
The stick of incense burned out, and the break time came. Cao Min played his flute, and everyone returned to their seats. The two sides entered the field again, and the second half of the competition began.dd
