Should I shoot directly with a score of just 60?
Cao Baiming's heart began to waver, but his dribbling did not slow down at all.
To the Bournemouth players around him, his footwork looked like it was on fast-forward, dazzling and intricate!
It was impossible to find an opportunity to intercept the ball!
"The supreme secret treasure hasn't been used yet. If I use it now, I'll be able to play casually afterwards, and the cost will be five thousand points!"
After thinking for a few seconds, Cao Baiming made his final decision!
No need!
With that said, he not only didn't shoot himself but also passed the ball to Vieira on the wing.
There was no need to panic about scoring goals, alright!
Given the current situation, a hat-trick was practically guaranteed, so there was no need to waste five thousand points on it.
Five thousand points, not too much, not too little, it could be used to learn a few dishes!
In a flash, Arsenal created a superb opportunity on the wing, and the attacker successfully made a run down the line to create an attack!
The fans on the sidelines sighed, Cao Baiming's seemingly casual pass had directly created a great chance!
Unfortunately, the final shot did not result in a goal.
In the blink of an eye, the match reached the end of the first half. With eight minutes left in regular time for the first half, a heart-stopping scene unfolded!
Henry collapsed on the field!
Cao Baiming looked ahead. He was the one who had just passed the ball to Henry!
He had initially thought it was a golden opportunity, the passing lane had flashed with a dazzling light, wanting to end the first half with a perfect flourish.
But he hadn't anticipated what happened next!
Henry shrugged off the defender beside him and attempted to control the ball with his chest. At that moment, a figure flew in from the side, as if performing martial arts, and kicked directly at the football!
However, since Henry had already controlled the ball before him, the kick landed squarely on Henry's chin!
Instantly, blood stained the field!
The fans on the sidelines all looked over with concern, and many people gathered in an instant.
The team doctor also rushed onto the field!
Henry's face was split open by the kick, and blood flowed profusely.
In an instant, the anger accumulated by the Arsenal fans erupted!
If it weren't for the referee and staff intervening, that player would not have been able to leave the field on his own feet!
The head coach even walked onto the field. After some time, Henry slowly walked off the field, supported by the team doctor.
Helplessly, Arteta had to bring Vinícius on again.
The referee then showed the offending player a yellow card.
After VAR review, it was confirmed that he had touched the ball first, but the move was too dangerous, and a card was unavoidable!
With Vinícius coming on as a temporary substitute, the match was ready to resume.
After a brief warm-up, he greeted Cao Baiming.
Arsenal was awarded a free-kick on the left wing. The position was too far from the goal for Cao Baiming to find a suitable shooting angle, so he could only pass.
However, Henry was no longer on the field, and their scoring ability was greatly diminished!
While Vinícius could break through, his finishing ability was nowhere near Henry's!
Cao Baiming sighed helplessly.
It seemed that from now on, he would have to rely on himself!
Soon, Cao Baiming stood at the free-kick spot. From this position, the goalkeeper could block the shot with just one step. He didn't even need to consider the horizontal angle, only needing to defend the vertical space.
It could be said that this position was indeed not suitable for a direct shot.
But as he stood beside the ball, Cao Baiming looked forward and his face showed a surprised expression!
"Damn it! Is it really 92%??"
From a position almost at the byline, while not exactly a zero-degree angle, there was at least a sliver of space left. Could the goal success rate really be that high?
This number was truly enticing!
He looked at the spectators by the sidelines, who were also eagerly anticipating Cao Baiming to take a shot himself from this position. Even his teammates didn't want to steal the glory, and instead, they hoped to see him create another miracle!
Given the circumstances, it would be unreasonable not to shoot!
The faces of the spectators in the stadium were filled with anticipation, their hearts tense and excited!
Soon, the referee blew his whistle, and Cao Baiming hardened his heart and kicked the ball with all his might!
He actually knew that from this position, there was no room for maneuver in terms of angle for a shot. It was all about power, pushing the power and speed of the ball to the absolute limit!
Instantly, another muffled sound echoed across the stadium!
The goalkeeper leaped high, trying to anticipate the ball's trajectory with his hands. He was already prepared!
But as the ball approached the goal, it suddenly began to descend rapidly. Moreover, the speed of the ball was incredibly fast; from the moment it was kicked to reaching the goal took less than two milliseconds!
Even though the goalkeeper had done his best to anticipate, he still failed to catch it. By chance, he blocked it with his chest, and then Vinícius, who had followed up, scored with a rebound shot!
The fans on the sidelines erupted in thunderous cheers!
However, the seasoned fans habitually turned their gaze towards the goal!
They were thinking, did the goalkeeper just take Cao Baiming's shot with his chest? That guy's a tough one!
Indeed, as their eyes focused on the goal area, they saw the goalkeeper lying on the grass in front of the goal, face down, motionless.
"Is... is he still alive?"
The fans had no time to celebrate. They carefully recalled the moment the goalkeeper blocked the shot, and the ball had hit his chest squarely!
The speed of this shot was definitely no slower than that of a rifle bullet!
"Among the goalkeepers Cao Baiming has injured, he might be the most serious one!"
"I hope he doesn't die on the spot!"
At this moment, Cao Baiming was also contemplating these same thoughts.
If this caused a major incident, would he be held responsible?
Logically, he shouldn't be!
Soon, a large crowd gathered again. His teammates came forward to inquire, but he remained motionless!
"It's over!"
Cao Baiming's heart skipped a beat.
"Don't tell me he died on the spot!"
He himself knew how terrifying his shots were. He had once bent a goalpost on the training ground; one could imagine how much power that entailed.
A football player's chest has no protection, and an ordinary person certainly couldn't withstand such an impact!
Cao Baiming began to feel a little nervous and pushed through the crowd to look.
The stadium fell into silence, and even the fans in the stands were speechless!
After more than ten seconds, a scream came from the crowd!
Subsequently, the team doctor began to administer first aid on the field!
Cao Baiming's heart finally settled, at least the person was alive!
However, the doctor judged the situation to be very serious and that he needed to be taken for surgery. Soon after, a stretcher team ran onto the field and carried him off.
