Fox in the Penalty Area

According to the schedule of the national competition, the morning of March 10 is a closed-door meeting of the head coaches of all participating teams. A lottery will be held after the closed-door meeting.

On the spot, draw all the teams to play against.

There are a total of 32 teams participating in this national competition. These 32 teams use a single elimination system. The first round of the match is determined according to the draw. The next match is determined according to the result of the first round of match. .

In the upper and lower half of the game, the lottery will determine whether a team will go to the upper or lower half.

Teams that are divided into different halves will not have a chance to meet until the final.

At the same time, this lottery result will also be broadcast live.

Previously through the online platform, and this time because the copyright was purchased by the Capital Satellite TV, the lottery ceremony will also be broadcasted on the Capital TV's "Special Report on the 6th National High School Football Championship".

So this morning, the players of Dongchuan Middle School were crowded into several rooms, watching the live lottery through the TV in the room.

It can be said that this is what they are most concerned about-who will be their opponent in the first round of the national competition?

"It's better to be able to draw a team that is not so strong, so that at least it can ensure a sixteen ..."

"Eh, Mao Xiao, who is the weakest in the national competition?" Someone asked loudly.

"From the historical record of the national competition, we are the weakest." Mao Xiao replied.

Hearing what Mao Xiao said, many teammates shouted, "Isn't this possible?"

They couldn't accept that they made it to the national competition and found themselves to be the weakest chicken.

"High school students do not play like national teams. They have regular FIFA rankings. There are so many high schools in our country, and there are many high schools with football teams. Whether it is information collection or statistics, it is almost impossible to do these high school football teams. Perform points ranking. "Mao Xiao explained to everyone.

"So you can only score for teams that have participated in national competitions. The scoring system is also very simple. If you win a game in a national competition, you will get three points, tie one point, lose one zero point, and The league table is the same ... "

Someone asked: "Aren't the teams that were eliminated home in the first round have zero points, so why are we the weakest?"

"Yes, they are zero points. But we don't even have zero points." Mao Xiao spread his hands. "We didn't make the list at all. At least we have to wait until this national competition is over before we can make the list and compare the points ranking with other teams."

Facing the surprised teammates, Mao Xiao explained to them: "In this national competition, among the thirty-two participating teams, one of us has never played a national competition before. So even those zero points The team has not won a game, but they have all scored in national competitions before, so zero points are considered points. We have no record of points, and naturally rank last in this ranking. "

A group of people looked at each other, which really made them uncomfortable.

Hu Lai whistled: "Oh, I want to find the fish belly, but we are the fish belly that all teams want to encounter? It's quite thoughtful to think of this, and suddenly turned into a sweet potato You ... Hey, do we want to auction and compete against us? "

"Can this be auctioned!" Meng Xi shouted at him.

"Auction against the right? Thanks to you, Hu Lai!"

"Why is there a feeling of 'I am weak and proud of me'? Haha!"

Everyone was amused by his statement.

Chu Yifan noticed that the previously disturbing embarrassment in the team was also swept away.

"The lottery starts!" Someone pointed at the TV, and the room suddenly became quiet. Everyone stared at the TV screen, fearing that they would miss any details.

The drawing ceremony of the high school students ’football match is very simple, and will not engage in some cultural performances like the World Cup or the European Championship ...

After the host announced the start of the draw, the leading guests in charge of the draw began the draw.

The lottery itself is also very simple, all completed by the computer, the lottery guests only need to shout "start" and "stop".

The voice control device will automatically start the lottery and automatically stop the lottery according to the voice they shout, and then draw a result.

In order to show fairness and justice, the guests of the lottery are all back to the big screen of the lottery. They have nothing in front of them, and they ca n’t see the names of the schools that flash quickly on the big screen behind them.

The lottery is carried out in order, and the first team to be drawn will naturally be ranked first in the matchup table, which is automatically in the upper half. In this way, drawing backwards in turn can determine the team's confrontation and the problems of the upper and lower half.

Soon the first team to be drawn was born, from Baima Middle School in Yujiang City, Xiaojiang Province.

"They are the eighth place in the last national competition, and their strength is not bad." Mao Xiao is more professional than the host on TV. After the name was reported, he introduced to his teammates.

The second team that was drawn out against Baima Middle School was Fushui High School from Yuanyang City, Xishan Province.

"This school has already participated in the national competition three times in a row, and the best result is the tenth place in the previous term."

"Tenth to twelfth, I feel that this lottery is easy to make a strong showdown in the first round ..." Some people said.

"Yeah, at the last round of the National Contest, the first round of the Shuguang High School where Chen Xingli was located met the defending champion Chongwen Middle School in Shanhai City, and the Shuguang High School was the fourth in the last national contest. It's a strong dialogue. In the end, with Chen Xing's two scores, Dawning High School defeated Chongwen Middle School 2: 1, defending the champion national competition for a round of the tour, and directly went home ... "Mao Xiao said.

"Wow, so cruel ..."

"Yeah, at the end of the game, all the players in Chongwen Middle School were paralyzed on the field, and Ladu couldn't pull up, crying like tears one by one ..." Mao Xiao sighed in the tone, "And Dawn High School is in After eliminating the defending champions, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the road is like a broken bamboo, and they finally won their first national championship. The only thing that can make them deflate is Jiaxiang High School led by Wang Guangwei. That's why Chen Xingwei cares so much Who scored under Wang Guangwei's marking ... "

Speaking of which, everyone looked at Hu Lai, and Hu Lai did not disappoint them. He put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and raised his tail to the sky.

As the defending champion, Dawning High School is the third team to be drawn, which means that any team in the first half will meet them.

It also makes people very concerned about who will become their first round opponent.

Many people in Dongchuan Middle School prayed secretly in their hearts, but don't be them. They finally come to a national competition, and want to stay a few days longer ...

In the eyes of many people, the unlucky ghost who fought against Dawn High School was drawn from the Affiliated Middle School of Normal University in Wuli City, Ningtian Province.

Seeing this name, many players in the Dongchuan Middle School in front of the TV took a breath.

The draw continued and the participating teams were drawn out one by one and appeared on the big screen at the scene.

Soon the 16 teams in the first half of the district were all released, and Dongchuan Middle School was not among them.

"Ah, it's a pity that if you want to meet Dawn High School, it seems you can only go to the finals ..." The relieved Dongchuan Middle School players began to pretend.

As soon as the words fell, the name of Dongchuan Middle School appeared on the big screen ...

"I'm going! The first one in the second half!"

"Frightened me, fortunately not in the upper half ..."

"I don't know who our opponent will be ... Let's take a look at the teams that have come out in the first half, and have they been eliminated in the first round of the last round?"

The draw ceremony did not wait for the players of Dongchuan Middle School to calculate their opponents, and soon gave the answer.

From Xizi Middle School in Anqiu City, Western Yuan Province.

"Mao Xiao, how is this school?" Meng Xi looked at his friend for the first time.

Others also cast their eyes.

"Fifteenth place in the last term, the top 16 teams."

"I rely on, the top 16!" Teammates exclaimed.

"Hey, it's just that the last national competition was the top 16. They were eliminated in the first round before." Seeing everyone seems to have some fear, Mao Xiao quickly explained. "However, they can enter the national competition every year, and they are considered local football hegemons ..."

"That only shows that the overall level of football there is not high, right?" Meng Xi asked rhetorically. "Otherwise, the National Contest will give Antarctica a place to enter and let them go to Antarctica to play in the qualifiers. They can also participate in the National Contest every year."

Hu Lai sneered: "What are you thinking about Meng Xi? Who said they can easily qualify? Shouldn't they lose the game because the weather is too cold?"

Meng Xi froze for a moment, never expecting Hu Lai to look at problems from this angle ...

The teammates laughed and the room was filled with cheerful air.

In the first round, the tension faced by the top 16 was swept away.

After the draw ceremony was over, the time came to noon.

The players of Dongchuan Middle School were led by the two captains to the cafeteria for dinner.

The drawing ceremony ended a little late, and they thought that when they went to the cafeteria, there were already many people in the cafeteria.

When I thought of the road, I found that there were many people who came out of the dormitory just like them. Obviously, they just came out to eat after watching the lottery ceremony.

After entering the cafeteria, everyone has a clear division of labor. Some people go to the queue to take meals first, while others take up positions, occupying the entire team ’s position. Bring it back-this was also when I had dinner yesterday, they learned by observing how those other teams did.

For Dongchuan Middle School, who participated in the national competition for the first time, it is considered to have accumulated some experience about the national competition ...

※※※

"Captain, look, people from Dongchuan Middle School."

When the players from Dongchuan Middle School took the meal and returned to the table, there was a table next to people who were eating and frowning at their backs.

"Just them?" A tall man with a flat head shaved so short that he couldn't be shorter.

"Yeah, the rookie who participated in the national competition for the first time was so drawn by us. This time we seem to be in the top 16 again!"

"What do you say? Did we rely on luck to enter the top 16? How many times have we said it, it is strength! Strength!" The head was dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, the captain is right, it depends on strength!" Everyone echoed.

"Captain, you are right. But we can meet such a rookie team in the first round, which is also a good thing for us. At least we don't have to put too much energy into the first round. I think we have this time Not only is it the 16th place, it may be able to advance to the quarterfinals! "

Hearing his teammates say this, the captain's eyes rolled.

Then he got up: "Come a few people, let's go, let's say hello to our opponents in the first round."

He also prolonged the sound on the words "Good".

※※※

The Dongchuan Middle School players sat around a few chapters table and were preparing to eat, but suddenly a few people came by.

They were wearing uniform white sports uniforms. The person walking in the front looked tall, with a little ruff on their faces, and they shaved a very, very short, flat head, and their scalp glowed with blue light.

After walking straight to the dining tables where the players of Dongchuan Middle School had dinner, the head man slowly looked around and then said: "Dongchuan Middle School, right? We are your opponents, Anqiu Xizi Middle School . "

Chu Yifan and Yan Yan stood up one after the other and greeted them. Chu Yifan also offered his hand: "Hello, I am Chu, the captain of Dongchuan Middle School ..."

"It doesn't matter." The man glanced at Chu Yifan's outstretched hand, and didn't mean to shake his hand. His hands were still in his trouser pockets. "Not for self-introduction, I'm not interested in your name. I'm just here to comfort you. It must be difficult to enter the national competition for the first time? But sorry, your first national competition will end here. Now. "

As soon as he said these words, the expressions of the players on the opposite Dongchuan Middle School changed.

He took the initiative to reach out but was left aside. Even if his temper is good, Chu Yifan's face is not very good-looking now, and Yan Yan is taking a step forward: "What do you say ?!"

"Why do you want to fight?" The opponent smiled contemptuously. "I remind you that if you fight during a national competition, your team will be disqualified."

Then he no longer ignored Yan Yan, but looked at the indignant Dongchuan Middle School players in front of him and said: "Don't get me wrong, I really just come to comfort you. As a person coming, I kindly remind you that the game will be acquired the day after tomorrow. You can pack your luggage in advance and take it to the bus, so that you can go directly to the airport or high-speed rail station after the game. "

After he said that, the people who came with him behind him laughed.

"Task: To counter the provocation of the opponent and boost the morale of your team. Rewards: Points × 3000, [Experience Elixir] × 1."

There was such a sound suddenly in Hu Lai's mind that made him trance.

Since the Anton Cup final, the system seems to have entered hibernation, and hasn't moved for three months. If he hadn't entered the system space during the team training and bought two training reels, he probably thought the system had left him ...

He had also imagined that after entering the national competition, whether this system would issue tasks and what would be relevant.

As a result, he never imagined that the system still has this operation ...

The first task of the national competition turned out to be a battle of words! How much gossip you have in the system!

He turned his gaze to the [Experience Potion] that first appeared in the reward, and immediately knew what this thing was used for:

After taking it, the user's understanding of the game will be deepened, and the effect of gaining game experience in the game will be improved.

Simply put, every time a player plays a game, as long as his mind is not broken, he can gain something from this game.

Such as how he should position in the game; when he is holding the ball to face the opponent, should he shoot directly or choose to pass; when should he try his best to sprint in the game, when should he slow down and recover his physical strength ...

These things are collectively called "competition experience".

Experience is something that sounds very mysterious and seems impossible to quantify, but it actually affects the performance of players. Experienced players perform better than inexperienced rookies.

For example, in this national competition, the experienced Xizi Middle School seemed to be domineering and full of superiority when facing Dongchuan Middle School who had never played the national competition. It is because they have more experience than Dongchuan Middle School.

As for Hu Lai, as a rookie who has not been in contact with football systematically in the past sixteen years and has never played a game, lack of game experience is his inherent disadvantage.

If you want to catch up with others quickly, hard training is of course important, but the accumulation of game experience is also indispensable.

So at this moment, the system brought him something that could help him improve.

And all he needs to do is ... shoot the gun.

※※※

In the sound of laughter, the people of Xizi Middle School waved their hands: "Let's go, bye, I sincerely hope to see you again next year, haha!"

After talking, he turned and took his teammates back.

Behind him, Dongchuan Middle School players clenched their fists and their faces were flushed.

But no one dared to catch up, because, as the person said, players participate in fights, the team will be disqualified.

No one wants to cause the team's final trip to the national competition to be ended hastily for such reasons ...

So although they were very upset, they were so upset that they were about to explode, but they could only bear it.

Even Luo Kai just stared at the back of Xizi Middle School players with a gloomy look.

Mao Xiao pursed his lips, frowned, and clutched his friend Meng Xi ’s arm, not letting him feel impulsive ...

Just then, wondering if it was an illusion, he suddenly heard Hu Lai sigh beside him.

※※※

Since the people of Xizi Middle School went to Dongchuan Middle School, everyone else in the cafeteria was attracted by this movement.

After seeing the situation clearly, there was a discussion on the respective team's table.

"Oh, didn't that eliminate the Dongchuan Middle School of Jiaxiang High School?"

"Oh, their first opponent is Xizi Middle School ..."

"Xizi Middle School is really good luck, even the first Dongchuan Middle School to participate in the national competition ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Maybe they will make it to the top 16 this time ..."

"Fuck, for the 16th consecutive round of the 16th round, with the virtue of Wang Le's man, don't let your nostrils look at people? No, the game hasn't started yet, so it's ridiculous to bring people to ridicule.

"I think Wang Le may not be complacent. He is here to play psychological warfare with the novices, deliberately provoking the other party, and letting the other party take him to do nothing. When the time comes, he will be suffocated. I am afraid that he will lose his mind at the game ... "

"Fuck, my heart is really dirty!"

On the side of Dawn High School, someone touched Chen Xingqi: "Hey, Chen Xingqi, Dongchuan Middle School will not really be eliminated in the first round?"

"If you are eliminated, you will be eliminated." Chen Xing replied lazily.

"No, didn't you say you want to avenge Wang Guangwei?"

"What? Do you think they can make it to the final?" Chen Xingqi sighed. "None in the same area, what is the solution?"

"Uh ... so ..."

Everyone wants to vent their anger to Dongchuan Middle School, but only if they can meet, and now the result of such a lottery, it is obvious that the two teams will not meet-no one with a clear mind will think Dongchuan Middle school can reach the finals.

Chen Xingqu re-entered his head for dinner, and seemed to be indifferent to the disturbances of the outside world. As soon as the lottery result came out, he seemed to become a Buddha.

But at this moment, he first heard the noise of the chair being dragged on the ground, then heard two muffled noises, and finally he heard a voice: "Hey, who, big man, wait a minute."

He looked up and saw a teenager standing at the table, pointing his fingers at the players at Xizi Middle School.

Who is Hu Lai?
