After knocking down the arrogant Kunlan, Gu Ran continued to sprint hard and catch up with the ball passed by Belward.
Gu Ran easily stopped the ball, and without waiting for Kunlan to catch up and steal it, he turned around and knocked the ball back to Bian Bao who had retreated to the top of the penalty area to receive it.
After Bread got the ball, he immediately made a long pass to the front court! The crisis of the Bucks Steel Horns was resolved in an instant, and they switched directly from defense to offense!
The Wild Boar Jazz were forced to quickly return to defense.
The pace of both teams is so fast that it makes your scalp tingle!
Just one minute ago, the No. 7 ace of the Wild Boar Jazz, Belward, had just initiated a wave of transition from defense to offense, and this minute, Gu Ran overpowered Quinlan and initiated a wave of transition from defense to offense for the Bucks Steel Horns! This rhythm already had the flavor of a master's battle! After completing the clearance, Gu Ran immediately ran back to his position, coordinated with his teammates, and maintained the formation to press forward.
While returning to his position, Gu Ran saw a white training result bubble appear at the position where Kunlan was knocked over: 10 hours of dynamic passing and receiving training.
The bubbles in this result are quite good.
Anything with a "dynamic" suffix is generally the result of one-on-one professional training.
However... Gu Ran did not choose to pick it up.
There are two pickup opportunities left today. Try to stay behind in these two times to see if you can get useful blue skill bubbles.
It would be nice if I could get the skill bubble of the semi-professional player Belward.
Gu Ran couldn't help but lock his eyes on Belward. Coincidentally, Belward also turned around and glanced at Gu Ran.
Their eyes met, then quickly separated.
The situation on the green field changes rapidly! Under the relatively mature defensive system of the Wild Boar Jazz, the Bucks' quick counterattack was suppressed in the midfield area.
After Minato got the ball, he was immediately tactically double-teamed by the three central midfielders of the Wild Boar Jazz, making it difficult for Minato to break through and pass the ball to the two wings.
The central midfielder's position is a little further forward than the regular midfielder, similar to the position of the classic attacking midfielder, but there are some differences.
The classic attacking midfielder is the only one forward, while the central midfielder often keeps parallel with the front players in the line. The central midfielder not only has to take the responsibility of passing, organizing and supporting in the frontcourt, but also has the responsibility of defending in the frontcourt.
Simply put, three central midfielders are equivalent to dividing the work of a classic striker into three parts and working together.
This greatly improves the efficiency of offense-defense conversion in the frontcourt, and can suppress the opponent with numerical advantage before the opponent launches an offensive.
Especially the defensive suppression in the middle, the tactical effect is very obvious.
The current basic playing style of the Bucks Steel Horns is to pass the ball to Watergate, who organizes the offense in the frontcourt.
The three forwards and two defensive midfielders of the Wild Boars Jazz team's style of play is just the right way to restrain the No. 9 and a half style of play of the Bucks Steelhorns team - unless the No. 9 and a half of the Bucks Steelhorns team is extremely powerful and can 1v3, otherwise, this tactical restraint cannot be reversed.
Coach Carter stood on the sidelines and kept yelling, reminding the players on the field to speed up their running.
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns tried desperately to break open the defensive gaps of the Wild Boars Jazz, but the Wild Boars Jazz were very experienced in defense.
Compared to Coach Carter's yelling, the head coach of the Jazz appeared very elegant.
The head coach of the Wild Boar Jazz sat quietly in the coaching seat with a look of contempt on his face.
He has seen through Coach Carter's "simple and crude" No. 9 and a half tactics. As long as his Wild Boar Jazz team implements the tactics he arranged at the beginning, suppresses the midfield, and clamps the opponent's water gate, then the 3 points of this game will be easily obtained.
Playing against a weak team... How can we not win 3:0? ? ?
On the football field, the battle for the midfield area continues.
After a chaotic hand-to-hand passing of the ball, the Wild Boar Jazz's No. 7 ace Belward suddenly sprinted and used his strong body to push open the water gate.
This was the second time that Minato had lost the ball in the midfield! And both times it was intercepted by Belward! Minato was quite strong, but he couldn't handle Belward's collision! Minato quickly got up and chased back, while raising his hand to appeal to the referee.
But the referee ignored it - in the British football atmosphere, as long as there is no unnecessary movement of the hands and feet and it is just a physical collision, the referee generally will not pay attention to it.
Minato chased back, but Belward was so fast that Minato couldn't catch up at all! Belward was indeed a semi-professional player from the Hammers' youth training team. After the National High School Student Championship, Belward should return to the Hammers West Ham United and join the U19 youth team to become a formal professional player.
From this perspective, Minato was indeed at a disadvantage in his confrontation with him.
Gu Ran estimated in his mind that according to the system's rating, Belward's strength attribute was at least 68 points, and his sprint attribute was at least 65 points.
When facing this kind of opponent, you really can't fight hard.
Even if you can barely hold on, your physical energy will be consumed exponentially, which is not worth it.
At this time, Belward was dribbling the ball at high speed along the middle and was about to enter the 40-meter area in the front court.
Another core player of the Wild Boar Jazz, No. 10 Quinlan, accelerated and penetrated directly to the right flank of the Bucks Steel Horns team (that is, the left side of the penalty area), and at the same time raised his hand to ask for the ball!
Last time, he thought it was because he was careless and ran with his legs raised high that he was knocked over by a Chinese boy.
And this time, he wants to prove to everyone that once he, Quinlan Bowman, gets serious, he is unstoppable!
No. 7 Belward looked up while sprinting, hesitated for a moment, and then made a diagonal pass.
This ball was kicked behind him!
But this pass was not as clean as the previous one behind the back.
The so-called behind-the-back ball, to put it simply, is not to pass the ball directly to one's own striker, but to pass it to the blind side area behind the opposing defender, and then the striker will take advantage of the situation to run and grab the point.
From Belward's perspective, this behind-the-back pass was different from the first behind-the-back pass. The position of No. 3 Gu Ran on the opposite side was right in the rib area, and he had already blocked Kunlan's route in advance.
In this case, not only is the passing channel very small, but the ball is also easily intercepted.
However, since his teammate Quinlan had already reached out for the ball, Belward had no choice but to give it to him.
Belward still has great confidence in Quinlan's speed and dynamic passing and receiving skills.
Of course, the most important thing is that Belward doesn't think a Chinese person can defend against his ball from behind.
As soon as Belward passed the ball, Gu Ran immediately accelerated and rushed towards the passing channel.
Once again, they met on a narrow road! Kunlan looked arrogant. He did not speed up, and even began to slow down, preparing to stabilize his center of gravity and fight against Gu Ran with all his strength!
Receive the ball? No, it's only a matter of time before he scores and wins! He wants revenge first! He wants to knock this black-haired Chinese kid over!
He wanted everyone present to see that he, Quinlan, was—
Bang! Gu Ran rushed over with a few steps without thinking, and used his shoulder to hit Kunlan's half-turned shoulder.
What's there to think about? Just do it! Physical fitness, sprint inertia, strong strength foundation, reasonable collision +2, and basketball IQ, all perfectly integrated and displayed at this moment! The arrogant expression on Kunlan's face froze instantly! At this moment, he felt as if he was hit by a car! Kunlan gritted his teeth and wanted to push back, but Gu Ran didn't give him the chance at all! The moment Gu Ran collided with Kunlan, his body continued to accelerate and sprint, blocking Kunlan's line to receive the ball one step ahead, and directly pushed Kunlan to the ground! The moment he fell to the ground, Kunlan subconsciously reached out to pull Gu Ran's body——
Bang! Gu Ran swung his hand and opened Kunlan's arm!
At this moment, Gu Ran was as ferocious as a wild animal! Kunlan's body completely lost balance, and he rolled on the ground in a panic! He rolled one more time than the last time! Kunlan was completely stunned:
What just happened??? How on earth did I fall???
I was bullied again??? Why should I say again???
How come this Chinese guy is so... strong???
This must be an illusion!!! Kunlan didn't even get up, just knelt on the grass stupidly and watched Gu Ran easily control the ball.
The Wild Boar Jazz's second quick counterattack was gone again.
The students of Tonbridge High School at the scene were all stunned!
No one could believe that the combined ball-playing skills of their two ace players were broken by a black-haired Chinese boy.
Didn’t the previous intelligence say that the Bucks Steelhorns were a fourth-tier free-for-all team? Didn’t it say that the Bucks Steelhorns’ core left-back Olin was poached? Didn’t it say that the Bucks Steelhorns’ new left-back was a weakling?
If No. 3 Gu Ran is a weakling, then what are all of you here? Not even a feather!
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Coach Carter on the sidelines excitedly punched the air three times! Gu Ran's performance in this wave of clearance was so shocking.
From predicting the position, sprinting back to defense, physical confrontation, every detail reflects Gu Ran's superb basketball IQ! Especially when facing the ace, the raw domineering attitude is really exciting! The Bucks' steel angle players on the bench rushed to the sidelines and cheered for Gu Ran with fists clenched!
Teacher Maria, who was sitting in the audience, also covered her heaving chest with her hands, her eyes full of stars! This was her first time watching Gu Ran play football!
Gu Ran’s sprint on the green field is much more exciting than his sprint in the physical examination room!
Of course, Teacher Maria still prefers to watch Gu Ran sprinting without a shirt in the physical examination room.
Old Rice, who was sitting in the VIP seat of the main stand, was still sitting there like a fisherman, with no expression on his face...
The game continues.
After taking control of the ball, Gu Ran immediately passed it to Bian Bao who came back to support - this was also to implement the tactical requirements of head coach Carter.
Before Coach Carter gave the signal, the entire Bucks Steelers team used defense to consume the opponent's physical energy and pull the opponent's formation as the main strategy.
Bread steadied the tempo and passed the ball to Hua Luo on the right.
Hua Luo then dribbled the ball forward along his own right side.
The Jazz immediately retreated to defend the right side of the Bucks.
After clearing the ball, Gu Ran quickly returned to his position - the first half had only been played for less than 15 minutes, but the physical energy consumed by running, supporting, sprinting, and confronting was already equivalent to the intensity of the last 25-minute game against the Pirates.
Physical fitness...is really, really important.
Fortunately, after the match with the pirate ship, Gu Ran increased 3 physical attribute points in one go and also gained a lot of physical training results.
Otherwise, it would really be possible to play the whole game while maintaining basic condition.
As Gu Ran returned to his seat, he glanced at Kunlan.
A blue skill bubble appeared under Kunlan's feet.
Oh huh?
