The defensive players of the Sanjiaohe team desperately turned around to defend and fill in the gaps! To be honest, their reactions were indeed very fast, and their turning speed was faster than that of a professional player! However, Gu Ran was even faster! The moment the narrow and short passage appeared, Gu Ran dribbled the ball straight in!
The two defenders of the Sanjiaohe team were only concerned with turning around to intercept, but ended up colliding with each other! Gu Ran had already cut into the small penalty area!
The chance to shoot has come! Gu Ran's eyes instantly lit up with a resolute murderous intent! The central defender chased back and stretched out his foot desperately to intercept——
Triangle River's goalkeeper Eddie also moved to the near corner of the goal with confidence to block the ball.
The timing of the shot is so short that it is almost measured in milliseconds!
Facing a 2v1 situation, Gu Ran kicked decisively! His arch of foot shot into the near corner of the goal!
Although Triangle River goalkeeper Eddie is already moving towards the near corner, this ball only has a chance if he shoots into the near corner!
You have to shoot at the shortest distance using the speed of the ball!
Yes! Just do it!
So what if you figured out I was going to shoot from close range? Let's see who's faster!
The football stuck to the grass, leaving a blurry trail, and shot at the near corner of the goal at a small angle! Triangle River team's goalkeeper Eddie instantly jumped up. As expected of someone trained by Chelsea's youth training team, his flying and diving movements were very standard, like a big fish leaping out of the sea.
But he didn't pounce!
Gu Ran's kick was very fast and precise, without any hesitation or delay! This was a shot from a shooter with a very high basketball IQ! The football passed through Eddie's armpit!
The next moment, the football shot into the net!
The ball went in! The whole stadium was choking!!! No one dared to believe what they saw...
Until the referee blew the whistle and pointed to the center circle with a brief and powerful gesture: The goal counted! The score on the scoreboard was rewritten: Triangle River 0:1 Bucks Steel Horns! All the Bucks Steel Horns players on the bench screamed like crazy: "Ahhhh!! Ahhhh!!! Gu! Awesome! Awesome!! Awesome!!!"
The assistant drummer was beating the drums and shouting frantically! Suddenly, the entire Riverside Stadium was filled with the cheers and celebrations of the Bucks Steelhorns.
Gu Ran, broke through the wing, cut inside and shot, a one-stop attack!
It was awesome! From stopping the ball to accelerating beyond all odds, and then passing it to himself three seconds later, Gu Ran single-handedly passed half of the Sanjiaohe team in one go, and finally faced the double defense of goalkeeper Eddie and the central defender, with a calm and decisive strike that killed the opponent!
He is a full-back!
But he is by no means a full-back in the ordinary sense!
It was a B2B style, covering the entire penalty area from one penalty area to another, an assassin-type full-back with a knife! Gu Ran's kick was extremely decisive and swift, so decisive that even if you knew he was going to hit the near corner of the goal, you couldn't save it!
The playing style is as sharp as a knife!
This isn’t even the coolest thing!
The most amazing thing is that from the time Lampard kicked off and deliberately sent a heavy artillery high-altitude bombing pass to the time Gu Ran received the ball and shot through the left side to score, the total time was... 17 seconds! This is definitely the fastest goal at the beginning of this national competition! Gu Ran may even have broken the record for the fastest goal at the beginning of all national competitions!
Coach Carter in the coaching booth slid down to his knees on the grass excitedly, waving his arms and cheering like a child: "Gu! Gu! Gu! So beautiful! Haha! So beautiful! This goal must be the best goal of this tournament! Thank God! Thank you! Thank you for giving me Gu Ran!"
This is definitely a dream start for the Bucks Steelhorns!
Anne in the away team's stands was trembling with excitement at this moment!
She didn't know much about basketball, but 17 seconds into the game, her body was shaking with excitement, her palms were sweaty, and her originally elegant voice couldn't be controlled and turned into a wild scream: "Ahhh! Gu! You're so awesome! Gu! You're so cool!"
Anne felt her emotions completely relaxed! Watching the game... was so cool!
Especially watching Gu Ran kicking the ball, the sharp feeling, just 17 seconds can make you sweat all over! The students of St. Paul's Boys' School at the scene were stunned:
17 seconds...
This damn Chinese guy...how come he is as fierce as Gareth Bale?
Aren’t the Milwaukee Bucks considered a weak team?
Didn’t they say that we can win and advance to the top eight just by playing casually?
Don’t we still have Chelsea superstar Lampard as coach?
Aren’t we supposed to be Little Chelsea? Did both sides get the wrong script? ? ? 0:1 at the start, what the hell is this!!! All the students at St. Paul’s Boys’ School wanted to curse.
The players of the Triangle River team on the field were also extremely depressed.
They hadn't even warmed up yet, hadn't even touched the ball, and yet they conceded a goal...
This is a nightmare start! Why is that Chinese guy on the other side so awesome? Which professional club trained him?
Lampard, standing on the sidelines, had a face full of question marks.
He just went to kick the ball and turned to leave the field, but the score was 0:1.
This, this, this... How come this Chinese kid is as strong as Bell? Take a deep breath... Small scene.
Just consider it as giving up 1 goal.
It is still very common for a team to win by 1 goal.
——After all, Lampard is a football superstar who has experienced major competitions, and he quickly stabilized his mentality.
Lights, lights, lights! The negative emotion bubbles of the Triangle River players around Gu Ran dropped like crazy! Goalkeeper Eddie dropped a blue skill bubble, and the ace captain Butler, who was ten meters behind Gu Ran, also dropped a blue bubble.
Gu Ran simply ignored the bubbles of Eddie and other Triangle River players. While running towards Lampard, he concentrated his mind to check Butler's bubble: Reasonable collision +1.
What a pity...
Gu Ran has already picked up +3 of this skill.
In C rating, the highest skill cap you can pick up is +3.
Gu Ran immediately ignored Butler's skill bubble and continued to accelerate towards Lampard.
Behind Gu Ran, there was a large group of Bucks Steelers players celebrating ecstatically.
No player from the Bucks Steel Horns team touched the ball, but the three lines of the Bucks Steel Horns gave Gu Ran great support, involvement and coordination!
This is why it is said that football is not a one-person sport.
Gu Ran's one-on-one goal would have been impossible without the support of his teammates.
The Bucks Steelers team all wanted to share the joy of this goal with Gu Ran, so everyone chased after Gu Ran, wanting to pin him to the ground and form a pyramid to celebrate.
But Gu Ran ran too fast...
Even his family couldn't catch up! Gu Ran rushed to Lampard on the sidelines, clenched his fist and yelled at Lampard: "Lampard! Thank you for the pass and assist!"
This goal was really assisted by Lampard.
Lampard's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably: This young man... is really too crazy! But it doesn't matter, I'm a professional, I've seen all kinds of provocative scenes? Isn't it just a bad start? Isn't it just a goal scored in 17 seconds? Isn't it my own assist?
Isn't it just...
Anyway, it doesn’t matter!
These are just small scenes! Lampard suppressed his inner depression and kept a calm face, "Don't be polite, the game has just begun, let's see who will have the last laugh."
Gu Ran: ...
Gu Ran was not so arrogant as to deliberately provoke Lampard. He just wanted to take advantage of this 17-second one-stop opportunity to help Lampard.
After all, it is very difficult to see football stars in amateur competitions, let alone a Premier League superstar like Lampard.
Gu Ran naturally couldn't miss such a rare opportunity.
Even if Lampard would think it was an arrogant provocation, Gu Ran had to do it anyway - this is called forced robbing! With 5 remaining pick-up progress, Gu Ran wished he could use it all on Lampard and rob him clean in one go.
But the result... Lampard's mentality during the game was obviously much more stable than before the game.
Come to think of it, it makes sense.
A Premier League superstar like Lampard has experienced countless game scenes. If he gets angry when facing the provocation of an "unknown person", it would be unworthy of his status.
Just when Gu Ran was about to give up, the players of the Bucks Steelhorns caught up with him. Led by Shuimen, they stood behind Gu Ran and bowed to Lampard in an exaggerated gentlemanly manner: "Lampard! Thank you for your pass and assist!"
The players of the Bucks Steel Horns on the bench were not idle either. They put their arms around each other's shoulders and sang in unison: "There is a handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran. Chelsea's Lampard was knocked down by him. There is a handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran. Chelsea's Lampard was knocked down by him! Chelsea's Lampard! He knocked him down!!!"
...This is such a ridiculous change in the lyrics! Lampard finally lost his temper!
Is it okay to write it into lyrics and sing it?
Lampard frowned, wishing he could take off his suit and trousers, put on his jersey and go on the court to fight to the death with those little brats from the Bucks Steelers!
Lampard's defense was broken!
Light~ A full blue bubble formed under Lampard's feet!
Finally! Hahaha! My teammates are awesome! Gu Ran quickly focused his mind and saw: Heavy Cannon Long-range Shot: Cloud Piercing Arrow +1.
Oh shit!
This wave is really cool! Heavy artillery long-range shot! This is Lampard's strongest skill! With this skill, you can really become a defender with a knife, and even upgrade to a defender with a gun! Gu Ran immediately collected this skill bubble in the air.
When the brilliant threads of light flowed into Gu Ran's body, Gu Ran felt his thoughts becoming clearer, and the muscles in his legs seemed to change shape slightly!
I really want to try out the firepower of heavy artillery long-range shooting: Cloud Piercing Arrow right now!
But don’t just try it…
This kind of star skill consumes a lot of mental energy.
Moreover, the level of +1 is relatively low, and the shooting accuracy will not be very high, so it can only be used at the most appropriate, safest, and most likely time to kill the goal.
When is the most appropriate, safest, and most likely time to deliver the fatal blow? That depends on the situation at the time and one's own basketball IQ.
Now, there are 4 pickups left! Keep going! Gu Ran and the players of the Bucks Steel Horns returned to their respective positions with full morale.
The game continues.
Lampard stood on the sidelines, constantly and loudly directing the players of the Triangle River team to press forward and attack.
The players of the Triangle River team barely managed to cheer themselves up and started to fight back.
The advantage of the 433 formation lies in the control of the midfield, especially the central area.
The three midfielders of the Triangle River team supported each other, while there were only Minato and Bread in the middle area of the Bucks Steel Horns team.
After several waves of confrontation, the Bucks Steelhorns' middle lane was turned into a sieve.
Gu Ran quickly sprinted from the left to the middle to assist in defense, blocking the penetration of the three midfielders of Sanjiaohe in time.
With Gu Ran's assist in defense, the Bucks Steelhorns' midfield rhythm was finally stabilized a little.
However, in terms of physical confrontation, the Bucks Steelhorns are still at a disadvantage.
The Triangle River team launched four waves of attacks in the middle area, and each time they almost made a fatal cross shot.
The space of the Bucks Steelhorns team was severely compressed, almost shrinking across the board, and the crazy attack effect of the Triangle River team's 433 formation gradually emerged.
Lampard, who was standing on the sidelines, also crossed his arms across his chest with a slightly smug look on his face.
Although he cannot completely replicate Mourinho's 433 formation on the Delta River team, even this level is enough to crush the Bucks Steelhorns team.
8th minute of the first half.
Triangle River's ace captain Butler dribbled the ball straight down the middle.
Watergate and bread immediately formed the first line of defense.
Butler used his body to force the ball away, then passed the ball directly to his center in the penalty area.
The center forward of Sanjiaohe took the ball with his back to the basket and immediately turned around and raised his foot——
The central defender Painter rushed up from the side and kicked the ball away!
——The center forward of the Triangle River team turned around a beat too late! The students of St. Paul's Boys' School at the scene wailed and sighed.
Gu Ran sprinted over, grabbed the first landing point of the ball, and then made a long pass to the glider in the front court -
Gu Ran’s vision for this ball is amazing!
This is a 50-meter diagonal pass with high accuracy and enough power!
This pass directly penetrated the three lines of the Triangle River team! The Bucks Steel Horns' defensive counterattack only needed a long diagonal pass in less than three seconds to achieve a sharp and terrifying effect!
The glider's position is not offside!
The glider jumped up and stopped the ball with his chest - the ball stopped a little too big.
The glider quickly chased the ball, adjusted, and then dribbled quickly into the penalty area.
His dribbling speed is not fast, and the pace of his one-on-one advancement is obviously slow.
The defenders of the Triangle River team were very fast. Before the glider could break into the penalty area, two defensive players came up and squeezed the glider.
One of the defenders pulled the glider's arm, and the other defender kicked the ball out of the way! The glider had no time to pass the ball, so he could only barely shoot...
This ball is too soft!
Eddie, the goalkeeper of the Triangle River team, shook his finger at the glider and slowly ran out to pick up the ball.
The glider covered his head in annoyance, wishing he could hit himself to death.
Head coach Carter on the sidelines also frowned and tried hard to resist the urge to scold.
Although Coach Carter is a big troll, he never trolls his players when they are playing.
But this ball really made Carter feel distressed - Gu Ran's 50-meter diagonal pass just now was so brilliant. If the glider could be more powerful, wouldn't this ball have been scored?
Both the Triangle River team's offense and the Bucks Steel Horns' quick counterattack were very beautiful.
Triangle River goalkeeper Eddie quickly threw the ball, and a new round of pressure attack by Triangle River began.
The offense and defense transition rhythm of both sides was very fast.
In the first 15 minutes of the game, players from both teams were running for their lives.
Both sides consumed a lot of physical energy.
The Triangle River team slowly regained the feeling of a strong team, especially their ace captain Butler, who frequently used his physical advantage to dribble, break through, intercept and steal in the middle midfield area.
Butler played the B2B type. Minato and Bread were unable to fight against Butler, but Butler consumed a lot of their energy.
The defense in the middle can only rely on Gu Ran's quick sprinting back and forth from the flank to assist.
For a while, the Bucks Steelers were in danger in their own half.
In the first 20 minutes of the first half, the Bucks Steelhorns' space was deeply compressed, and apart from a few long passes by Gu Ran, there was almost no chance of counterattack.
Triangle River's possession rate once reached 78%.
The Triangle River team also made 12 crosses, including 4 fatal crosses.
The Delta River team had 6 shots, 2 of which were on target and 0 were on target.
——If the center of the Triangle River team was stronger, the score could have been rewritten.
The students of St. Paul's Boys' School at the scene saw hope for the home team to win and waved flags and cheered desperately.
As for the Bucks Steelhorns, although they were crushed in terms of ball possession, in reality, the situation for the Bucks Steelhorns was not too bad.
The basic tactics of the Bucks' Steelhorns are 442 long passes, defensive counterattacks, and breakthroughs on the wing when there is an opportunity.
This tactic does not require a high ball possession rate.
The pursuit of ball possession is the passing and controlling style of play in continental Europe.
Moreover, the Bucks made some major mistakes on defense in the first 20 minutes.
So, although on the surface the Triangle River team's offense looked beautiful, there were very few times when they were truly threatening.
Although Butler is very strong, Gu Ran's assist defense also greatly limits Butler's performance and affects Butler's cross success rate.
The fight between the two sides became more and more intense, and their physical energy consumption became greater and greater.
In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Gu Ran alone ran 5.8 kilometers on the field, including many sprints.
It was precisely because of Gu Ran's constant running and assisting in defense that the Bucks Steel Horns were able to defend against wave after wave of 433 attacks.
The first half of the game is in the 36th minute!
Butler got the ball in the midfield, passed the ball to the right winger Rosser, and then he passed it to the right winger Rosser. Rosser immediately cut into the penalty area of the Bucks Steel Horns after getting the ball!
The other players of the Triangle River team also infiltrated the restricted area.
At this time, Gu Ran accelerated and rushed to the front of Roser's dribbling channel to block the ball! Gu Ran's blocking was also very smart, directly blocking Roser's line of cutting inside and passing horizontally.
Rosser was surprised at first. In Rosser's impression, Gu Ran was at least three or five body lengths away from him the previous second. How come Gu Ran had blocked his position when he looked up? Rosser now had only two choices: either use his body to outsmart Gu Ran, or turn around and pass the ball back, and then rely on Butler to reorganize the attack.
——Theoretically, passing the ball back to Butler is the best option, as Butler has already created an open space at the front of the penalty area.
But Rosser still chose to use his strong body to defeat Gu Ran!
This is not only Rosser's confidence in himself, but also a strong personal grudge! Gu Ran's 17-second one-stop scene is really exciting!
What's more, this Chinese man actually occupied a big white girl of star level! When he thought of these two points, Rosser's back teeth clenched and he directly elbowed Gu Ran in the ribs! This was an obvious foul!
But Rosser was very experienced and his elbow was concealed, so the referee did not notice it.
Gu Ran was hit by a fierce elbow, and his ribs suddenly felt a splitting pain. He couldn't help but slow down, and it seemed that he was about to be eaten alive by Rosser——
Roser is very strong, although not as strong as Butler's "Yaya Toure" type, but Roser's movements are very aggressive.
With Gu Ran's current physical strength, power, stamina, and reasonable collision +3, he should theoretically be able to hold his own against a semi-professional right winger like Rosser.
The premise is that Rosser doesn't play any dirty tricks.
Since you are playing dirty, I won’t be polite!
At this moment, Gu Ran concentrated his mind and directly put 2 of the remaining 6 talent points in his mind on the strength attribute and the power attribute respectively!
The strong attribute is the basis of confrontation. Strengthening the strong attribute can also avoid injuries.
The strength attribute is not only useful in defensive confrontation, but also in passing power and shooting power. Moreover, it also has a strengthening effect on the golden right foot: precise long pass, set piece: crescent moon scimitar, and the through pass just obtained: magic lamp guidance, and heavy artillery long-range shot: cloud-piercing arrow!
The strength attribute increased from 61 points to 62 points! The strength attribute increased from 63 points to 64 points! At this moment, Gu Ran suddenly felt that his muscles had become harder by one dimension, and his strength had also increased by an inch! The waist and ribs that had just been hit by Rosser's elbow no longer hurt, and only a little bit of soreness and numbness remained.
Gu Ran immediately exerted his strength from his waist and abdomen for the second time. At the moment when he was about to be pushed away by Roser's dirty trick, he resisted Roser's cut inside, and then pushed Roser back to the baseline! Roser was stunned!
He clearly felt that he could eat Gu Ran alive just now, how come Gu Ran turned into a bulldozer in the blink of an eye? Monkey Leixiete! What's going on? In just a few seconds, Rosser was pushed out of the penalty area by Gu Ran with a fierce momentum, and continued to squeeze towards the corner flag area! Rosser exerted force repeatedly, but he couldn't push Gu Ran at all! Rosser elbowed Gu Ran's waist and ribs again! Gu Ran directly slapped Rosser's elbow away!
Rosser was nearly pulled down by Gu Ran. He could only barely keep his balance and retreat to the corner flag area, protecting the ball with his back.
Gu Ran continued to press closely, not giving Rosser a chance to turn around, nor was he in a hurry to kick out to steal the ball.
Although Gu Ran has the skill of interception and steal +1, he still has to be careful when kicking the ball at this time. If he is not careful, he may give the opponent a corner kick. Even if it is just an out-of-bounds ball, it will not be okay.
The offensive players of the Triangle River team had already penetrated into the Bucks Steelhorns' penalty area, waiting for Rosser to pass the ball, but Rosser ended up taking the ball farther and farther away.
Lampard, the interim head coach of Triangle River, shouted anxiously on the sidelines: "Pass! Pass! Hey, you better pass it sooner!"
Rosser, who was being held tightly by Gu Ran on the field, had a hard time saying, "Lampard, why didn't you yell earlier? Now I want to pass the ball, but can I pass it?"
At this time, the right back of the Triangle River team finally came to the corner flag area to provide support.
Rose was pressed against his back by Gu Ran's hips, and it was difficult for him to turn around. The scene was extremely embarrassing.
The right back of Sanjiaohe had already run to a distance of five or six meters from them. Rosser gritted his teeth, turned around and prepared to pass the ball.
