God of Greenery

If Jiang Xiaolin wanted to break through the defense of these two people, he could break through unless he forcibly knocked them over.

That would be a foul of course.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin had to slow down, control the ball by his side and move forward slowly.

Bocchetti and Decelli did not rush forward, but continued to get stuck on the route while retreating, preventing Jiang Xiaolin from breaking through easily.

As long as Jiang Xiaolin's speed is slowed down and the other teammates return to the defense in time, the Hua Guo team's counterattack will be contained this time.

Moreover, Chris Chito, who had just been knocked to the ground by Jiang Xiaolin's breakthrough, had also gotten up and was quickly chasing and approaching.

In just a few seconds, Bocchetti, Decelli, and Criscito will complete the double-teaming of Jiang Xiaolin, and they will definitely be able to snatch the ball from Jiang Xiaolin's feet.

Although Jiang Xiaolin's dribbling is at full value, the opponent's stealing attribute is not zero.

Taking this confrontation as an example, if Jiang Xiaolin's dribbling is 20, then Bocchetti, Criscito, and De Qieli's stealing and positioning attributes may be 16 or 17 points.

Defending Jiang Xiaolin one-on-one, just like Chris Chito just now, is easy to be broken by Jiang Xiaolin, and Jiang Xiaolin can only be blocked by extraordinary performance.

It is also possible that the two of them were defeated by Jiang Xiaolin one by one because of their lack of cooperation.

But if the three of them surrounded him at the same time, unless Jiang Xiaolin himself displayed the breakthrough ability of the ball king Manadona at his peak, it would be possible to break out from the encirclement of the three.

But considering Jiang Xiaolin's weak breakthrough skills, this possibility is extremely low.

Therefore, Bocchetti and Decelli were retreating while getting stuck on the route to prevent Jiang Xiaolin from speeding up, while Jiang Xiaolin was also looking for another opportunity while advancing.

He had discussed with Wang Yongbai before, asking Wang Yongbai to look for a fighter at the right time and respond from the side when he countered.

However, neither of them had found the right opportunity before.

The situation of this game is that Italy is the main attacker and the Hua Guo team is the main defense. Coupled with Italy's strong overall strength and midfield control ability, the Hua Guo team has relatively few opportunities to counterattack.

The only few counterattacks were either because Wang Yongbai was too far away when Jiang Xiaolin counterattacked, and it was too late to keep up.

Either when Wang Yongbai was going forward to keep up, but Jiang Xiaolin was locked by the opponent's chain defense and had already lost the ball.

Therefore, in the first half, the two have not realized the preset plan in their minds.

Now, the opportunity may finally present itself.

Jiang Xiaolin broke through the opponent's No.1 player, Criscito, and brought the ball into the Italian half, only 30 meters away from the penalty area line.

Because the opponent's last three defenders are double-teaming themselves, and the others have not yet returned to their defense.

As long as there are teammates on the side to keep up, Jiang Xiaolin may make the ball close to the penalty area with a diagonal pass, posing a threat.

It just depends on whether Wang Yongbai seizes this opportunity.

At this moment, when Jiang Xiaolin was dribbling the ball slowly on the right wing of the midfield while confronting two defenders of the opponent, and another defender quickly approached from behind, Jiang Xiaolin saw a man in the middle wearing a suit from the corner of his eyes. The figure in the team's red jersey rushed towards the penalty area in Italy at full speed.

Although there was a man in the Italian jersey chasing him and stuck between him and the teammate in the red jersey, the opportunity had come.

It is impossible for Italy's defense to completely miss people. It is almost impossible to find a gap where the opponent has no marking at all.

It is not easy to have the current teammate to keep up in time, and there is only the opponent around to keep pace with the defense.

Jiang Xiaolin didn't turn his head to see if the figure was Wang Yongbai, and he didn't need it, because that would have made Bocchetti and Decelli in front of him adjust their positions and block his passing route.

Because both Bocchetti and Deqielli put all their energy on Jiang Xiaolin, they were afraid that Jiang Xiaolin would break through if they didn't pay attention.

Therefore, when Jiang Xiaolin spotted someone following up in the middle from the corner of his eyes, Bocchetti and De Qieli hadn't noticed yet.

Opportunities are rare and fleeting.

If there is any further delay, not only Bocchetti and Decelli may discover the danger in the middle, but Criscito, who is chasing behind, will also quickly approach and complete the double-team with Bocchetti and Decelli. Jiang Xiaolin will then If you lose the ball directly, how can there be a chance to pass the ball?

Therefore, Jiang Xiaolin immediately moved.

He first moved the ball to the outside line, and made a fake move to break through from the outside line, which caused Bocchetti and De Qieli in front of him to move a step outside involuntarily.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin flicked the ball to the center again, and made a diagonal pass before Bocchetti and Deqielli moved back.

Jiang Xiaolin's long pass has been added to the full value of 20 by him.

The landing point of his long pass was near the top of the Italian penalty area.

In the eyes of the audience and fans, what happened on the scene was that when Jiang Xiaolin was dribbling the ball forward from the right wing of the midfield, Wang Yongbai in the middle and the defender Mota, who was returning to defense, crossed the line where Jiang Xiaolin and De Cheli were located, and went to the front line. Italy's penalty area rushed.

Then, Jiang Xiaolin used a feint to dodge a gap, and kicked a diagonal pass from the right side of the midfield to the frontcourt.

The ball soared into the air, passed by the feet of the central defender Bocchetti who was outstretched to try to intercept, rose rapidly, flew into the air, drew a wonderful arc, and fell towards the top of the Italian penalty area.

Jiang Xiaolin's long pass skills have been added to full value, making his long pass in the air with a span of more than 20 meters quite accurate.

Not only successfully controlled the landing point, but also just bypassed the Italian defender Motta who was stuck between him and Wang Yongbai.

When Mota saw the ball, he desperately wanted to speed up and intercept the ball ahead of time, but Jiang Xiaolin's pass was too precise.

The ball flew through the air [-] to [-] centimeters in front of Motta's head, who wanted to dive to make a clearance, and landed on top of Wang Yongbai behind him.

Wang Yongbai played a time difference when he was slightly behind by half a meter two or three meters to the left of Mota. Facing Jiang Xiaolin's arc pass, he dived to the top of the arc in the penalty area and successfully hit the football.

The ball changed direction instantly and turned towards Italy's goal.

Goalkeeper Viviano did not stand on the goal line, but stood in the penalty area. The purpose was to prevent Wang Yongbai from catching the ball and forming a single goal.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yongbai didn't catch the ball at all, and directly headed the ball towards the goal with a diving dive.

The ball flew high above Viviano's head. Viviano tried his best to take off and try to get the ball out of the crossbar, but he couldn't reach the ball.

The ball passed a few centimeters diagonally above his finger, drew a slanted parabola in the air, and fell into the Italian goal against the lower edge of the crossbar under the expectant eyes of tens of thousands of Chinese fans.

In the 45th minute of the first half, Wang Yongbai caught Jiang Xiaolin's long air pass in a counterattack and successfully broke through the Italian goal, tying the score at 1-1.

The moment the ball flew into the opponent's goal, the entire Beiping Workers' Stadium exploded.

Tens of thousands of Huaguo fans erupted in loud screams, excited applause and cheered in celebration.

In front of the TV, countless fans and spectators raised their arms and shouted.

In the commentary seat, the commentator of the sports channel of Huaguo National TV Station didn't pay attention to the ugly expression of the Italian commentator not far away at all, stood up forgetfully and shouted loudly:

"The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball is in..."

"The Hua Guo team finally scored a goal!"

"Wonderful diving from outside the penalty area by Wang Yongbai!"

"A super nice, super classy header from distance!"

"A long pass in the air from Jiang Xiaolin assists!"

"At the end of the first half, the Hua Guo team relied on Jiang Xiaolin to assist Wang Yongbai's diving goal and scored a goal to tie the score."

"The Chinese team equalized the score, and we are back on the same starting line as Italy."

"The Hua Guo team still has hope!"

Yes, there is still hope for the Huaguo team.

This goal is not just as simple as an equalizer.

It vented the depression of the Chinese people's first controversial conceded goal, and it was at a critical moment when the first half was about to end.

Without this goal, everyone would have entered the break with a trailing score, and the pressure in the second half would have been completely different.

And with this goal, both players and fans of the Huaguo team will enter the intermission in a very happy mood to prepare for the second half of the game.

Conversely, the conceded goal at the end of the first half will also put enormous psychological pressure on the entire Italian team.

From the lead to being equalized at the last moment, the Italians must not have any psychological pleasure during the intermission.

Especially in the face of a weak Asian team like the Hua Guo team, it was still a draw after half the game. I am afraid that no one can bear it.

Of course, the Hua people don't care so much, they just want to celebrate at this time.

Not only the fans and spectators, but also the Hua Guo players on the field celebrated the goal like crazy.

Wang Yongbai rushed to the sidelines excitedly, jumped up, and stood on the billboard, with an aura of dominating the world, which made the fans even more excited.

Afterwards, he was pulled down by the swarming players of the Huaguo team, who pressed down on him and ruthlessly stacked Arhats to celebrate.

Jiang Xiaolin finally didn't have to be pushed down at the bottom, he could also push other teammates to celebrate.

The Hua Guo team celebrated for more than half a minute, and then ended the celebration under the intervention of the referee, and returned to the court to wait for the Italian team to kick off.

However, not long after the game restarted, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides entered the intermission with a score of 1-1.

The fans at the scene and in front of the TV were still immersed in the joy of scoring just now, and there were heated discussions.

"Damn it, my heart is still beating, the ball just now was so wonderful."

"That's right! Jiang Xiaolin's arc shot in the air was so precise that it just happened to bypass the Italian defender who was about to clear the siege in advance, and then landed on Wang Yongbai's head."

"Wang Yongbai's dive to the top is also very beautiful, his movements are quite stretched, and he looks so handsome."

"I didn't expect that we could still play such an offensive coordination and draw with Italy."

"It's just a half-time draw, not a final draw."

"A half-time draw is enough to surprise! You know, Italy didn't score the goal at all, and the referee gave it to them. And our goal is a real one, and no one can deny it."

"That's right, that stupid referee, the ball in Italy shouldn't have existed at all! Fortunately, our players were strong and were not affected too much. We evened the score before the end of the first half."

"The main reason is that Jiang Xiaolin is good. Whether it was the fried ball that broke through Criscito before, or the long pass in the air afterward, they all showed extraordinary skills. I think the pass he just passed, It's quite the style of Beckham's peak work."

"What is Beckham, I think Jiang Xiaolin is number one in the world!"

"It's not good to milk your own players so desperately."

"Haha, I'm just grandma, anyway, I'll be Jiang Xiaolin's fan from now on."

"Are you focusing on the wrong thing? This goal was scored by Wang Yongbai."

"Well, Wang Yongbai is also good, and they are all worthy of praise!"

"Not only Wang Yongbai, everyone in the Olympic team performed very well today. Otherwise, before Jiang Xiaolin assisted Wang Yongbai to score this goal, the backcourt goal would have been sieved by Italy."

"That's right. Today's Olympic team is in very good form. It's very similar to the first and second games of the group stage. With this state of play, the Olympic team may really upset Italy and advance to the semi-finals!"

"I get excited just thinking about it."

"look forward to!"

……

The Hua Guo team's locker room was full of laughter. Both the coach and the players of the Hua Guo team who tied the score were in a good mood.

Everyone praised Jiang Xiaolin's wonderful arc pass in the air, and also praised Wang Yongbai's timely forward penetration, which made it easier to receive Jiang Xiaolin's pass.

Especially Wang Yongbai's last ultra-long-distance diving jump outside the restricted area, which is too enjoyable to watch.

Wang Yongbai, who scored the key goal to equalize the score, was also very excited. After thanking his teammates for their congratulations, he said:

"Xiao Lin asked me to look for opportunities to go forward and catch his pass to wait for an opportunity to shoot, but I haven't found any opportunities. Just this time, I saw Zheng Zhi intercept the ball, and I immediately had a premonition that it might form a counterattack. I will I looked at Xiao Lin's position and felt that I could keep up with him, so I resolutely moved forward."

"Although the Italian full-back Motta followed me back to the defense, I did my best this time. I didn't get thrown off by him. Instead, I rushed to the Italian penalty area with him."

"I don't know if Kobayashi can pass the ball, anyway, I rushed desperately."

"Unexpectedly, Kobayashi really passed the ball, and it just passed the top of Mota's head and landed in front of me."

"However, at that height, I couldn't stop the ball and form a single-handed ground ball."

"Where can I think so much at that time? Anyway, I know I can't waste the opportunity."

"So, without even thinking about it, I dived out with my whole body, stared at the ball and headed it towards the Italian goal."

"You don't know. When I was in the air, watching the ball go over the head of goalkeeper Viviano and fall towards the opponent's goal, I was almost suffocated."

"I didn't even blink when it hit the ground, just stared at the ball until it went into the opponent's goal."

"I scored such an important goal, and my heart is still pounding!"

"Of course, I have to thank Kobayashi for passing the ball so well and so accurately."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yongbai pulled Jiang Xiaolin beside him, and gave him a firm hug again, thanking him for his assist.

Jiang Xiaolin said with a smile: "Everyone has contributed to this ball, but I am not alone. Zheng Zhi's tackles in the backcourt and Hao Junmin's pass are all part of the ball. Moreover, if there is no everyone in the backcourt Desperately defending, if we concede too many goals, it will be useless for us to score this one goal."

Wang Yongbai nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad, the credit belongs to everyone!"

The whole locker room was full of laughter, and everyone was very happy and happy.
