i don't want to be king

Chapter 84 This is the meaning of persistence
NPC Hleb is about the same height as Old Yu. His dribbling posture is very characteristic, and his center of gravity looks high and seems to be accelerating all the time.

Lao Yu couldn't help backing away from Hleb who was 5 meters away, and Hleb looked relaxed.

After Hleb got rid of the siege of No. 4, No. 8, and No. 3 and broke into the ribs of the big penalty area from the left, the red team's No. 22 goalkeeper, NPC Bear, has already rushed to the line of the small penalty area——

Li Liang also rushed over from the other side at high speed.

Lao Yu's defense has a typical NPC defender color——

Obviously the first choice is to block Hleb's inside angle and prevent the opponent from breaking through and directly facing the goalkeeper.

Li Liang no longer cared about the other opponents around him, the situation was extremely critical, even if he sprinted with all his strength, it was too late to catch up with Hleb.

His desperate running finally interfered with Hleb's movement.

In the blink of an eye, the NPC Hleb slowed down slightly, leaned over and made a small "pendulum" movement——

The right foot kicked off the rolling ball quickly, and the left foot quickly moved the ball to the left.

Lao Yu continued to retreat without taking a step, which also allowed Hleb's fake action to have a perfect effect——

In the next second, his center of gravity was completely out of control, and it was impossible to keep up with Hleb's subsequent change of direction.

The Cubs had already struck out at full speed on the first swing of Hleb's pendulum, getting closer to the ball at Hleb's feet——

Hleb did not continue to break through to the inside, and Li Liang, who came to defend at high speed, obviously affected him.

Hleb immediately changed speed and slowed down, which was a great disturbance to the bear who had already attacked.

The Cubs also immediately slowed down, and Hleb's "fast-slow-fast" vertical assault rhythm made him hesitate——

Hleb successfully used the footstep changes to gain sufficient room for adjustment, and he has completely gained the upper hand in the contest with the goalkeeper!
The Cubs' attack was already in a dilemma. Continued sprinting was no longer enough to affect the adjusted Hleb, and it was completely too late to turn back to protect the goal.

Hleb fully adjusted his step, raised his left foot and gently rubbed an arc——

The running bear tried his best to slow down and jumped up, his body completely stretched into an arc in the air, and he stretched out his hand desperately to stop it, but the ball still passed his fingertips!
It is foreseeable that the ball will successfully fly into the empty goal in less than a second.

In this almost completely still panoramic picture, besides the flying ball, there is another person still running wildly——

Li Liang didn't think too much in his mind, he was already aware of the great danger when Hleb's lob shot happened!
Li Liang, who was sprinting, exerted all his strength to accelerate——

Even if you are desperate, you must find hope, otherwise what is the point of all persistence——

Seeing that the ball was spinning in the air and was about to fall into the goal, Li Liang used all the strength left in his body to step on the turf with his left foot, and jumped up like an arrow——

From the corner of his eye, he saw that the NPC Hleb had already raised his arms to celebrate—just like the unchanging movements he had seen thousands of times in the game!

Li Liang got closer and closer to the ball, but it seemed that it was too late to complete the clearance before the ball crossed the goal line.

The ball spun in the air, getting closer and closer to the goal.

After breaking through Lao Yu's defense, Hleb picked up the ball with just the right movement and strength, which just crossed the highest save height that the Cubs could achieve, so the arc of the ball was bigger and it flew in the air for a longer time.

After flying over the highest point, the ball fell faster and faster, and it was about to fall into the goal from the junction of the left post and the crossbar.

Li Liang took off from the ground while sprinting at full speed. From the very beginning, he wanted to clear the ball with a header from the path where the ball fell. This was also the only chance to save.

He only has the ball in his eyes, and he doesn't care about anything else——

It didn't even consider that whether the clearance was successful or not, there was a great risk of colliding with the column when falling after taking off with all strength.

Li Liang had never experienced this feeling before, he had no thoughts or other voices in his mind, only the falling ball in his eyes.

—Even in all the virtual training experience, he has never been so focused!

After taking off, he kept rising, and his body almost completely escaped the control of gravity in an instant.

I didn't feel this way when I practiced bouncing on the company's rooftop, it really seemed like I was flying!

Li Liang is getting closer and closer to the ball.

When the ball fell into the goal, Li Liang spread his arms in the air, his body was completely open and almost parallel to the ground, and with his back to the turf, he successfully hit the bottom of the ball above the goal line!
Just like a dolphin jumping out of the sea, he turned his body and shook his head in the air to make a successful rescue!

All the strength has been exhausted, and the upward trend brought about by the explosive take-off was finally completely resolved by gravity because of the final full-strength clearance.

Li Liang began to fall, and the inertia of the previous crazy forward made his body completely out of control, and it seemed that the collision with the goal post was inevitable.

He saw the ball being pushed to the outer edge of the left goal post by himself, and then it spun and flew out of the baseline!
This is what persistence means.

……

Convinced that his own efforts had resolved the crisis, Li Liang's tense nerves instantly relaxed.

The huge inertia caused his waist to hit the goalpost heavily in the air, and the whole goal roared.

Li Liang's body almost folded into a "U" shape, and then fell to the turf.

At the last glance before falling to the ground, he still saw the NPC Riquelme not far away!

How can I still see him? !

Li Liang didn't have time to think when he heard a muffled sound of "bang", his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness...
