Chapter 39 5 Lines Lack of Gold

When Hu Lai came out after changing clothes in the locker room, he found Mao Xiao and Meng Xi, who had changed into school uniforms and carried schoolbags, standing outside the door. The two big men were on the left and the right, making Hu Lai think he saw the door god.

"Wow, what are you two doing?"

Mao Xiao frowned and said to Hu Lai: "We are here to cheer you up..."

Meng Xi pointed to Mao Xiao and said, "There is no 'you', it's you, yourself."

Mao Xiao didn't care what his friend said, he looked at Hu Lai very seriously and said, "I know that the coach is sometimes too strict, and I also know that it's a little unfair to you...you are just a beginner, but you have to face Such a high standard... But no matter what, don't give up, Hu Lai. Be sure to stick to it!"

Hu Lai was confused by Mao Xiao's serious tone and content: "What's wrong, this is?"

Meng Xi pouted and explained: "This kid is worried that you will take the initiative to choose to quit the team."

"Ah? Why do you have such an idea?" Hu Lai asked in surprise.

"Other people in the team are betting on when you will leave the team?" Meng Xi further explained.

Hearing the word "gambling", Hu Lai's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked Mao Xiao, "So did you participate?"

This made Meng Xi next to him have an illusion that Hu Lai raised his head on tiptoe and looked at Mao Xiao with stars in his eyes when he asked this sentence...

Mao Xiao also felt Hu Lai's sudden enthusiasm. He didn't quite understand why Hu Lai became energetic when he heard this. He shook his head doubtfully: "No. How could I participate in that kind of boring gambling game? They are using This is a way to mock you, Hu Lai."

Hearing that Mao Xiao didn't participate, Hu Lai looked very disappointed, and his raised head drooped: "You missed a great opportunity to make money, Mao Xiao..."

"Make money? What makes money?" Mao Xiao was at a loss.

Meng Xi could see it from the side, and he let out a hey: "It's a game without money, Hu Lai, everyone just enjoys their mouths, and there is no such thing as a dinner party."

Hearing what Meng Xi said, Hu Lai showed both disappointment and disgust on his face: "Hey, a bunch of cheapskates! I plan to let you get involved too, don't they all bet on when I will quit the team? ? You just bet that if I don’t quit the team, won’t it be all their money in the end?”

Mao Xiao was shocked by Hu Lai's brain hole, he asked: "Are you short of money, Hu Lai?"

Hu Lai thought of the huge sum of 350,000 yuan that his parents borrowed to send him to this school, shrugged and said, "I don't hate money, I'm crazy if I have money."

"So for money, you can endure such training and coaching, you are amazing!" Meng Xi gave Hu Lai a thumbs up from the side.

Hu Lai curled his lips and said: "Two different things. I won't quit the team. I came in with great difficulty. What's the deal with quitting? I just thought I could make a fortune by the way... Forget it, maybe I'm short of gold in five elements, and I don't have money in hits... ..."

He shook his head and said in a very sad tone.

He thought of the one hundred yuan that Li Zhiqun had robbed him of. Although he had a trump card to make Li Zhiqun shut up at any time, he was missing one hundred yuan. Now that he thought about it, it was really worthless...

Because he was not afraid of scolding and arguing with Li Zhiqun, but he was really short of the hundred dollars!

Another week of three days of training passed quickly. During this process, Hu Lai gradually discovered that his body's response to high-intensity training seemed not to be so great.

At first, he could hardly even get out of bed on the second day of training, his whole body was sore, as if he had been beaten with sandbags by ten burly men when he slept at night.

But now he only needs a carp to jump off the bed without any hindrance, and his body movements are as natural and smooth as flowing water.

He knew that the soreness seemed to be caused by something called lactic acid, after he had not exercised for a long time,

With a sudden contact, the inevitable situation will appear.

And as he trains more and more, his body gradually adapts to this kind of exercise intensity, and the lactic acid accumulated in his body naturally plummets, and his body will no longer be sore.

Anyway, it's a good thing that his body is not sore anymore, and he doesn't have to try hard to pretend that everything is normal in front of his father, so that he won't find out the problem-you know, after the three-day training last week, he went home in front of his father. It's acting at full strength, no matter how uncomfortable the body is, there is absolutely no sign of anything wrong with body movements and facial expressions.

This requires a strong ability to control one's own body. If it is changed to the previous Hu Lai, I am afraid that it may not be able to do it.

However, after this period of training, and under the effect of two bottles of [Marrow Cleansing Potion], Hu Lai did not reveal the slightest flaw.

He felt that the effect might not be as obvious as [Potion of Wisdom], but [Potion of Marrow Cleansing] really improved his coordination. In such a uncomfortable situation, he didn't make any mistakes because of his uncoordinated movements.

It's great to have plug-ins!

Hu Lai praised the system from the bottom of his heart.

This weekend, the Dongchuan Middle School football team will usher in their first national competition qualifier. On their home court, the opponent is No. 5 Middle School in the same city.

The specific time is the kick-off at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday.

As a member of the Dongchuan Middle School boys' soccer team, he had to play, even though he might not be able to play at all.

Middle school football games are different from professional games. There is no such thing as a big list. As long as you are a member of the team, you can participate in it. If you can’t play, you sit on the bench. If you can’t sit on the bench, you stand on the sidelines next to the bench.

What are you doing there? Cheer for the team, help the team, such as moving things, helping to organize and guard items. During the intermission of the players on the field, hand them mineral water and sweat towels in time. If the weather is too hot, these people will also use towels to help the players to cool down.

China's middle school football team does not have the manager system in Japanese manga, and these chores are all done by the players themselves.

This is the task, the responsibility of being part of a team. It is also a necessary part of cultivating students' cohesion.

In this way, those who play and those who do not play can have a concept of "team". It will not happen that those players who can't play feel that the game has nothing to do with them, the team's honor has nothing to do with them, and they don't work hard in training.

Football is a team sport, and team awareness is very important. If a team is divided and everyone cannot be united, no matter how strong the individual combat effectiveness is, it will be difficult to go far in the competition.

There is no class on Saturday, but you have to run to school, this kind of thing will naturally make people suspicious. But Hu Lai wasn't very worried, because his father happened to be going to work on Saturday. Although it wasn't a late shift, it was six or seven o'clock when he got home from get off work, so he could perfectly avoid it.

Although he was not selected for the match list, Hu Lai was still looking forward to this match, looking forward to coming on Saturday afternoon.

Because this is the first time he participated in an official game as a member of the school team.

This had never happened in his previous sixteen years of life.

It can be said to be the first experience in life.

PS, I found that the word shengzhang cup in the previous chapter was automatically replaced with senior official cup. Originally, shengzhang cup and shizhang cup are football matches for middle school students that exist objectively, so this name is also used.

After being replaced with the Senior Official Cup, it looks very awkward, so I just changed it all together.

It was directly renamed "Anton Cup".

Hereby explain.
