Views:

After the match between Meijiang Middle School and Zunyi No. 4 Middle School, the coaches and players of Meijiang Middle School held a warm celebration.

Among them, Lu Wenbin, who scored four goals and assisted one goal, naturally became the object of everyone's support.

Not only did his teammates from Meijiang Middle School throw Lu Wenbin up to celebrate, but many spectators in the stands also applauded Lu Wenbin for his wonderful performance.

Of course, Lu Wenbin's performance was also seen by other teams that came to scout the enemy situation. It was probably impossible for Lu Wenbin to score twice in the first three minutes like in this game.

In fact, the first goal lost by No. 4 Middle School was due to lack of preparation, and the second one was lost because it was stunned by the first ball.

As long as other teams play their cards right and don't give Lu Wenbin any chances to sneak attack, it will be almost impossible for Lu Wenbin to score two goals in three minutes in a city-level match.

Amid the audience's discussions about Lu Wenbin's four goals and Meijiang Middle School's upset victory over Zunyi No. 4 Middle School, the sports center gradually returned to calm.

In another match that was taking place at the same time at the Municipal Sports School football field, Xishui No. 2 Middle School and Wuchuan Hongsi Middle School played until overtime to decide the winner, with the score being only Xishui No. 2 Middle School 1-0 Wuchuan Hongsi Middle School, which fully exposed the two teams' weak offensive capabilities.

The school that made it into the top eight is Xishui No. 2 Middle School.

According to the system's evaluation, assisting a goal in a city-level match will earn you 3 experience points, scoring a goal will earn you 6 experience points, and winning the game will earn you 15 experience points.

Lu Wenbin scored 24 experience points for his four goals in the first game, 3 experience points for assisting a goal, and 15 experience points for winning the game. In total, Lu Wenbin earned 42 experience points in the first game.

Combined with his own 26/200 experience, Lu Wenbin's level and experience became level 4 68/200, which is still a bit far from upgrading.

The next day, February 28, the remaining four games of the first round were held at Zunyi Sports Center and the Municipal Sports School Football Field to determine the remaining eight places in the quarterfinals.

Including the four places in the quarterfinals decided on the first day, the teams that entered the quarterfinals of the 2006/2007 Zunyi City High School Football League finals are Maotai Children's School, Suiyang Middle School, Meitan County Meijiang Middle School, Xishui No. 2 Middle School, Zunyi No. 1 Middle School, Zunyi Tsinghua High School Affiliated to Zunyi, Fenggang Middle School, and Chishui Vocational High School.

After the first round of competition, the organizing committee held another draw ceremony for the top eight and drew the match schedule for the quarter-finals.

Meijiang Middle School had better luck this time. They did not draw a team from the city, but instead drew Xishui No. 2 Middle School, the team that played against the opponent for 120 minutes before scoring a goal.

At 15:00 on the afternoon of March 1st, Meijiang Middle School played the quarter-final match with Xishui No. 2 Middle School at the Municipal Sports School football field.

Although Lu Wenbin's performance of scoring four goals and making an assist in the first game was already known to all opponents, the overall strength of Xishui No. 2 Middle School is much worse than that of Zunyi No. 4 Middle School.

Even though they paid attention to marking Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin still managed to score a hat trick and assist twice, leading Meijiang Middle School to a 5-1 victory over Xishui No. 2 Middle School.

Xishui No. 2 Middle School only scored a face-saving goal in the final stage of the game.

After the game, Lu Wenbin gained 18 experience points for goals, 6 experience points for assists, and 15 experience points for wins, a total of 39 experience points, and his level of experience rose to level 4 107/200.

After the quarter-finals, the teams that entered the semi-finals were Maotai Children's School, Meitan County Meijiang Middle School, Zunyi Tsinghua High School, and Chishui Vocational High School.

When the semi-final draw took place, Meijiang Middle School was lucky enough to avoid Maotai Children's School and was drawn together with Chishui Vocational High School.

However, the semi-finals will not be held until March 3. After all, although the intensity of this kind of campus competition is not high, high school students are not physically strong, and they still need a day off after playing two games in a row.

So, everyone took a day off on March 2nd and started the semi-finals on March 3rd.

In the semi-finals, in order to ensure that the two teams that entered the finals had the same rest time, both semi-finals were held simultaneously at the Sports Center and the Sports School Football Field at 9 am on March 3.

In order to attract ordinary citizens nearby to watch the game, the match between Maotai Children's School and Zunyi Tsinghua High School was naturally held at the Sports Center, while the match between Meijiang Middle School and Chishui Vocational High School was held at the Municipal Sports School.

In this semi-final, Chishui Vocational High School was much stronger than Xishui No. 2 Middle School. Although it was still not as strong as Zunyi No. 4 Middle School, it was more difficult for Meijiang Middle School to play against it because they did not underestimate the opponent.

In the end, Meijiang Middle School only won by two goals against Chishui Vocational High School with a score of 3-1, failing to achieve the same level of victory as in the previous two games.

However, although the team did not win by a large margin and Chishui Vocational High School also focused on defending Lu Wenbin, Lu Wenbin still scored all three goals for the team, continued to perform hat tricks, and led Meijiang Middle School into the finals.

Lu Wenbin's personal strength really stands out among the high school students in the competition.

In three games, Lu Wenbin has scored 10 goals, far ahead of the second-place scorer. Many citizens who were supposed to be neutral have become fans of Lu Wenbin and kept cheering for him on the sidelines during the game.

After the match with Chishui Vocational High School, Lu Wenbin received 18 experience points for scoring goals and 15 experience points for winning, a total of 33 experience points as a reward, and his level experience increased to level 4 140/200.

Winning the championship and completing Task 5 will give you 50 experience points as a reward, plus 15 experience points for winning the game, which makes a total of 65 experience points.

Therefore, even if Lu Wenbin does not score a goal or make an assist in the final, as long as he can help the team defeat the opponent and win the championship, he will be promoted to the next level, receive skill point rewards, improve his strength, and prepare for the provincial finals.

Not long after the match between Meijiang Middle School and Chishui Vocational High School ended, the other semi-final was also decided.

In a fierce offensive battle, Maotai Children's School defeated Zunyi Tsinghua High School Attached to Tsinghua University with a score of 5-3 with its stronger strength and entered the finals.

Meijiang Middle School’s final opponent in this municipal competition is the defending champion Maotai Children’s School.

Before the first round, Maotai Children's School was the favorite to win the championship, and it was a matter of course for them to enter the finals. Meijiang Middle School was a typical underdog, and everyone thought that this county-level school team would go home after the first round.

Unexpectedly, it was this bottom-ranked team that made it to the finals and faced off against Maotai Children’s School.

However, after seeing the crazy goal-scoring performance of Meijiang Middle School striker Lu Wenbin in the previous games, no one would think that Maotai Children's School would definitely be able to defeat Meijiang Middle School in the final and win the championship.

Lu Wenbin averaged more than 3 goals per game, making everyone look forward to his performance in the final.
