When Hu Lai took the first shot, Payson didn't dare to bet on whether Hu Lai made a fake move, so he could only try his best to block it.

The following facts proved that Hu Lai was indeed a fake move.

But fortunately, Tom Walker's reaction was fast enough, and by the time Hu Lai got rid of Payson, he had already got up from the ground.

Such a quick second reaction is worthy of being the main goalkeeper of the England national team.

Facing Hu Lai who was swinging his legs to make a shot, he rushed out without hesitation.

No goalkeeper dared to bet that Hu Lai would not shoot at this time.

As a pure shooter with a lot of goals, what else can Hu Lai do if he doesn't shoot?

And Hu Lai proved with practical actions that besides shooting, he can also pass the ball...

When Walker, who was in a hurry, saw Hu Lai handing the football to Laski, his heart collapsed: You still pass the ball at this time! ? Did you make a mistake! This is a duel between me and you, pass the fart!

The following Walker could only lie on the ground and turn his head to watch in despair as Lasky pumped the football into the empty goal... The difficulty of this ball is almost non-existent for a qualified professional player!

Then he hammered the turf in front of him angrily.

It wasn't just Tramed's goalkeeper Walker who was shaken. In fact, almost everyone didn't expect that Hu Lai would choose to pass the ball in such a situation...

This is not simply because Hu Lai is a player with very, very few assists, but also because Hu Lai finally got rid of Payson before and successfully played one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Under such a premise, anyone who is familiar with Hu Lai We all know that he will never pass football out again. Regardless of whether the goal can be scored, it must be him to end the attack.

But who would have thought that there was something wrong with Hu Lai today.

Laski's first goal was assisted by him, and now he still chooses to pass the football when he is one-on-one with goalkeeper Walker.

The commentator He Feng still can't believe what he saw with his eyes: "Hu Lai actually passed the football to Lasky... Was he kidnapped by aliens? This ball...he can't Pass it on!"

Even if Walker's second reaction is quick,

Most of the shooting angles have been blocked, but with Hu Lai's ability, there is always a chance to score.

Besides, in terms of Hu Lai's playing style, when his chances are not very good, it is reasonable to pass the football to Lasky.

But passing the ball when you're one-on-one with the goalkeeper... it's a big surprise.

Yan Kang clapped his hands and smiled beside him: "Haha, He Feng! Maybe it's because even we onlookers didn't expect Hu Lai to pass the ball, so his shot was fatal enough. Tramed was in the penalty area The defense in Li was all attracted by Hou Lai, especially after he got rid of Payson... Under such circumstances, he unexpectedly chose to pass the ball and created a score that couldn't be simpler for Laski Opportunity...we always talk about 'nanny assist', what is 'nanny assist'? This is it!"

He Feng also recovered from the initial shock, and smiled and said: "That's right, Yan Kang. Hu Lai successfully deceived the whole world. But...why wasn't Lasky deceived?"

"Speaking of which... after winning the game against Catalonia, Laski was interviewed by the Polish media. He said in the interview that he learned a lot from playing next to Houlai. And this kind of early running The space approach is very similar to Holley's style, I think maybe this is what Laski learned from Holley?"

※※※

Hu Lai has indeed deceived the whole world.

Not only was He Feng shaken by him during the commentary, the commentators from all over the world spoke their native languages ​​when explaining Hu Lai's shot, there was a shocking pause and a turning point.

Yan Kang's analysis makes sense. The Premier League Golden Boot who scored 32 Premier League goals in a single season should be the one who would never give up scoring opportunities when facing goalkeepers in the impression of almost everyone.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Hu Lai was able to become the double golden boot of the Premier League and the World Cup has a lot to do with his "selfishness" in front of the goal.

As a striker, he is just doing his job, but as a player, he does look a little selfish in the eyes of outsiders.

The commentator of the Spanish TV station asked the slow-motion replay of the goal: "Does Hu not have the confidence to score when he is one-on-one with Walker? It is obviously impossible...so why did he choose to pass the football?" , instead of shooting himself? He got rid of Payson and knocked Walker down, and he did everything that should be done. It stands to reason that this is the best chance to score..."

Carlos Torrado, who was watching this Premier League highlight in his hotel room, turned to his roommate Zhang Qinghuan: "Zhang, tell me, why did Hu pass the ball? Doesn't he want to score?"

Zhang Qinghuan shrugged: "There's no reason, he might just want to pass the ball at that moment."

The Argentine striker sighed, shook his head and said, "I would never give up shooting in front of such an opportunity, and even if I can't get in, I will take a kick... I thought Hu was the kind of guy who made sure his scoring was the top priority." Where's the striker!"

In front of Zhang Qinghuan, he expressed his view of "Hu Lai's selfishness" more euphemistically.

Of course, this does not mean that he is blaming Hu Lai. On the contrary, as a striker, he very much agrees and recognizes the way Hou Lai handles those chance balls in front of the goal. In his view, Carlos Torrado, only a striker who is not confident in his shooting skills will pass the football under such circumstances.

Zhang Qing laughed happily: "I'm not surprised by Hu's pass. Do you know why, Carlos?"

"why?"

"Because he once made the exact same move as today's ball. And the opportunity at that time was better than this ball. He was facing the goalkeeper alone at that time, and no one around him interfered..."

Zhang Qinghuan told his roommate about the ball he defeated his former club, the capital Tenglong, in Gongti.

Torador was dumbfounded.

"...God, I can't imagine what kind of picture that is in my mind. When facing the goalkeeper alone, I suddenly knocked the football back with my heel..."

"Yes. If I hadn't reacted fast enough, his assist might have been wasted." Zhang Qinghuan recalled the past with a bit of embarrassment in his tone.

That was more than two years ago.

Zhang Qinghuan quickly withdrew from the nostalgia, saying to Torrado: "So, I think people misunderstand Hu a lot. He is not a striker who only knows how to shoot. Of course I am not saying what he should be like... It's actually hard to say what kind of player he should be. He does what he wants, often without motivation or reason. For example, this ball, he probably just wanted to pass it, so he passed it. Next time If there is a team-mate with a better chance than him, but he also chooses to shoot himself, it is because he wants to shoot."

Torrado was thoughtful when he heard the words: "This will make it more difficult for the opponent to guess his true intentions... As expected, he is the one who can win the Premier League Golden Boot and the World Cup Golden Boot..."

When Zhang Qinghuan heard him say that, he knew that he had misunderstood: "No... Forget it, you can also think so..."

He didn't bother to explain, anyway, it was indeed difficult for that kid to frame him with certain definitions.

Every time you think what he should look like, you will definitely be slapped in the face by him...

So stop talking and just keep watching the game.

"this……"

Cohen Melbourne was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say in front of this conceded goal.

Kevin Locke, who was standing next to him, wasn't much better than him.

They really couldn't understand why Hu Lai passed the ball, and how did he pass it?

He is the golden boot of the league!

Why spread such an opportunity? !

In an embarrassing silence, Locke suddenly asked, "How many assists did Hu have last season?"

Melbourne frowned and searched his memory: "It seems... three times."

"Damn it!" Locke couldn't help but swear.

Don't blame him for losing his composure, anyone who puts this matter on him will talk about it - Hu Lai had a total of three assists in the league last season, and today he assisted twice in a game, accounting for three of his total assists last season 2/2!

Moreover, his two assists today were passed to Laski. This Polish striker, who had a mediocre performance in the league before, also scored twice with Hu Lai's assist, which is outrageous!

※※※

When Locke next door was depressed by Hu Lai's abnormal performance, in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, the Leeds City coaches hugged and cheered to celebrate their second lead.

They were not surprised that Hu Lai would assist Lasky twice today, because they knew why.

"As of now, Laski has scored six goals in all competitions! He is still fourteen away from the goal you set for him..." Randyll reminded Clark to prepare his wallet while excited.

Clark grinned: "If I had known that I had made an agreement with him at the beginning of the season, then maybe we would still be able to qualify from the Champions League group stage..."

"Tony, do you want to think about it seriously. Make it a team tradition to have dinner at the 'Chili Peppers' after each season?" Randyll teased him.

Clark shook his head firmly: "No, Sam. If I make this a tradition, it will lose the meaning of motivation. The players will think that no matter how we play this season, we can go to the 'Red Peppers' at the end , then how could we see this scene in the game?"

He pointed to the team members who were with Lasky.

Randyll smiled: "Okay. As long as Lasky can successfully score 20 goals this season, they can go to 'Red Peppers' once. So what about next season?"

"Why do we have to think about things so far away from next season now? Let's talk about it later!"

※※※

On the field, the Leeds City players surrounded Laski to end the celebration and ran back to his own half.

On the way, they congratulated Laski like this:

"Come on, Dominic! You're still fourteen balls away from the famous Leeds restaurant 'Red Peppers'!"

Lasky, who was not very interested in Chinese food, suddenly became a little curious when he saw everyone was so happy...

What is the magic of the restaurant that makes the whole team so excited?

He asked Lorenzo, the captain of the team: "Captain, is 'Red Pepper' delicious? How many Michelin stars are there?"

"No star rating, Dominique. It's just an ordinary Chinese restaurant."

"Then why everyone..." Lasky looked at the backs of his teammates and hesitated to speak.

Lorenzo smiled and said, "Do you think everyone is going for that meal?"

Laski was very surprised: "Isn't it?"

"Heh..." Lorenzo shook his head with a smile, "In terms of delicious food, we have eaten at many restaurants, including those with Michelin stars. The taste of 'red pepper' is not outstanding in those Michelin restaurants. Besides Chinese food is really unhealthy for professional players...but everyone goes to 'Red Peppers' after each season, not really for the Chinese food there. We just regard going to 'Red Peppers' as a lucky ritual .”

"Lucky ceremony?" Lasky frowned, not quite understanding.

"You've heard that because of Hu, the boss asked our team to go to 'Red Peppers' twice, right?"

Lasky nodded.

"The reason why Hu was invited twice was because Hu scored more than five goals in the league and helped the team successfully avoid relegation. The other time was because Hu won the league golden boot and helped the team win the league championship... Do you see anything?"

Lasky thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Every time we go to 'Red Peppers', it means that we have achieved good results. Either we succeed in relegation, or we win the championship."

"Yeah, that's right. So everyone felt that if we were able to go to the 'Chili Peppers' at the end of the season, it meant that we would have a good season. It seemed like everyone wanted to go to the 'Chili Peppers' eating, but in fact it is just a disguised pursuit of good results. In addition, everyone has such a vision in their hearts: As long as we go to 'Red Pepper', maybe we can get good results next season?"

Lasky finally understood why his teammates were so excited when they mentioned "Red Pepper", but he had a new question: "But... this season we were eliminated in the Champions League group, and the league also fell outside the top ten. What else can you achieve?"

This time captain Lorenzo shook his head and didn't give an answer, because even he didn't know what kind of results the team could achieve.

He patted Laski on the shoulder: "Don't think so much, just work hard towards your goal."
