Chapter 31
Sideways in the Air! Big Four Joys!

“GOAL!!!”

A back-heel shot!!!

Oh my god!!!!

The entire stadium fell into a brief silence as they watched the scene on the big screen.

Then, shouts of amazement suddenly erupted like a tidal wave.

The commentator for this game, Shen Fang Jian, jumped up in the broadcasting booth!

“Wu San Shi! Wu San Shi! Wu San Shi!!”

“Viewers at home! Can you believe this? To think we'd one day see our football players putting on such an amazing performance!”

“I, Shen Fang Jian, declare that I am now Wu San Shi's number one fan!”

The ball, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, found its mark with unerring accuracy, sinking into the net. The numbers on the scoreboard flickered, finally settling on 3:3.

In this rollercoaster of a match, Shanghai SIPG had been on the verge of defeat several times, but once again, Wu San Shi became their hero. With his outstanding and awe-inspiring goal, he once again pulled the team back from the brink of loss, salvaging a draw.

The score between the two teams was back on even ground.

“Back-heel!!” The surrounding spectators and the commentator exclaimed almost simultaneously.

“A back-heel shot!! Such skill is astounding. It not only reflects the player's incredible technique, but it's something that many players, even after a lifetime, will never achieve.” Shen Fang Jian continued replaying Wu San Shi's back-heel in the broadcast booth.

“Wu San Shi!! Wu San Shi!!!” The cheers from the crowd were like waves crashing against the shore, his name echoing in the hearts of everyone present.

At this moment, in the stands, both the fans wearing red and those wearing blue were caught in a frenzy.

The spectators, who had originally only cheered for the teams they supported, were now roaring for this incredible goal.

Perhaps this is the magic of football!

“Wu San Shi actually dared to use a back-heel shot!!” Someone exclaimed in astonishment, completely overturning their traditional understanding of football.

“My god!! This is too amazing!” The bystanders were captivated by this highly difficult move.

“How did he come up with this?” Everyone was asking, wondering how this creative shot came to him in a flash of inspiration during the match.

A thunderous applause, “clap, clap, clap, clap, clap…” This was not only an acknowledgment of Wu San Shi's superb skill but also a tribute to this amazing moment.

Even the supporters of Guangzhou Evergrande, their opponents, stood up and offered their most sincere applause for this beautiful goal that captivated the entire stadium.

Shen Fang Jian's mouth hadn't stopped talking from the beginning. Having witnessed this moment of Wu San Shi's incredible talent, he couldn't control his own overwhelming emotions and shouted at the top of his lungs: “My god! I never imagined that a Chinese player could put on such a spectacular performance!”

“But seeing it happen right before my eyes, my heart is filled with awe.” Shen Fang Jian's voice trembled, “Genius Wu San Shi!! He is the future star of the national team!!”

In the stands, Lin Dong witnessed this exhilarating goal, his heart pounding with excitement.

After all, using a back-heel shot and scoring is an achievement that many forwards dream of but struggle to achieve.

Moreover, the feat accomplished by Wu San Shi was unmatched by ordinary players – his shot, if you looked closely, was even more astonishing.

Because Wu San Shi actually used his back-heel to kick a curve ball, the ball spinning forcefully, which is why all the defenders and the goalkeeper failed to touch it.

The match continued, yet Wu San Shi, who had just scored an incredible back-heel goal to level the score for Shanghai SIPG, did not stop and bask in the celebrations. He refused to be surrounded by his teammates and the frenzy, instead, he quickly ran towards the goal, picked up the football, and while running, he yelled, “We still have time!! Let's score another one!!”

“Good!! Let's score another goddamn one!!” A desire for victory burned in Wu San Shi's eyes. This craving affected every Shanghai SIPG player, instantly boosting their morale to its peak.

“Twice down, twice tied, this is the magic of football! We're playing against Evergrande.” Such a voice emerged from the team.

“Right! We'll show them!” The players encouraged each other, their spirits soaring.

The Guangzhou Evergrande players, on the other hand, seemed as if they had lost their souls. Two leads, and two ties, the blow to their morale was undoubtedly immense.

As the match entered the final countdown, there wasn't much time left for Shanghai SIPG to overtake the score, but one of the reasons football is so captivating is that as long as it's not over, every second can create a miracle.

In the final stages of the match, the Evergrande team had been tied twice by the Shanghai SIPG team.

They had lost their appetite for attack, no longer rushing forward, instead, they chose to defend in their own half, hoping to maintain the current draw.

Meanwhile, the Shanghai SIPG team was full of vigor, relentlessly launching attacks into Evergrande's half.

However, Evergrande's defense was like an impregnable fortress, and every attack by Shanghai SIPG was successfully repelled.

As regular time ended, the referee announced that the match would go into a five-minute added time.

In these short minutes, every move and decision became crucial.

Especially for Wu San Shi on the SIPG team, who had already scored three goals in this match and became the primary target for Evergrande's marking.

No matter where he moved, two defenders always shadowed him, following closely, not giving him any space to exploit.

As added time entered the fourth minute, Shanghai SIPG had only one last chance to attack.

In this crucial moment, the ball reached Wang Shen Chao's feet.

Wang Shen Chao feigned a dribbling breakthrough, attracting the attention of Evergrande's left winger, who rushed forward to intercept.

However, it was precisely at this moment that Wang Shen Chao cleverly passed the ball to midfielder Da Wei.

Da Wei, having received the ball, swiftly moved it to left midfielder Lin Chuang Yi. In a seemingly unexpected long pass, the ball was sent directly towards the penalty area.

For a moment, even the SIPG fans in the stands thought this was a misplaced pass, and they began to express their discontent.

However, while all the fans were still confused, a red figure, like a ghost, broke through Evergrande's defense line, emerging from the crowd like a nimble monkey, swiftly sprinting towards the point where the ball was headed.

Evergrande's goalkeeper, Cheng Yue Lei, intended to charge out, but seeing someone sprinting towards the front field, he hesitated for a moment.

This brief hesitation gave that red figure – Wu San Shi – enough time.

He accurately judged the landing point of the ball, and although the four defenders behind him followed closely, it was too late to effectively interfere.

Lin Dong, in the stands, watched intently, curious to see how Wu San Shi would handle this high ball.

And in the astonished gaze of everyone, Wu San Shi turned sideways and leaped into the air, adopting an almost unbelievable posture.

Then!

His legs crossed, his right foot slammed into the descending ball with immense force.

The ball was deformed by the terrifying force, then it swiftly swerved past Cheng Yue Lei's ear and slammed into the back of the net, instantly creating a white spray.

GOAL!!!

Score 4:3, a killer goal!! In the final moment, Wu San Shi once again stepped up and completed a hat-trick, delivering a killer blow to Guangzhou Evergrande.

Cheng Yue Lei only instinctively raised his hand, completely unable to make a save. Seeing Wu San Shi celebrating with his teammates, Cheng Yue Lei completely surrendered to his skill.

In this match, Guangzhou Evergrande actually played much better than Shanghai SIPG, whether it was controlling the midfield, attacking transitions, or even the ball possession rate, which was much higher than that of Shanghai SIPG. But football is so dramatic, even if your ball possession reaches 99 percent, if you concede a goal in the last minute, you still lose.

“A killer goal!! A killer goal!”

“Wu San Shi has completely killed the game!”

“In the last minute of added time, Wu San Shi scored a goal with an unbelievable technique! He completed a hat-trick!!”

“......”

The commentator at the scene was also passionately narrating the match.

“Wu San Shi!!”

“Wu San Shi!!”

“Wu San Shi!!”

“......”

All the fans at the scene chanted Wu San Shi's name in unison.

The head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, seeing how Wu San Shi had somehow managed to break free from double-teaming and even scored a goal, couldn't help but cover his face with both hands, his mouth wide open in shock, staring at Wu San Shi.

At this time, the big screen at the stadium began replaying everything Wu San Shi did before scoring the goal.
