New Skill Unlocked! Fly Eye Feature Enters Beta Testing!
"Bang!"
In the night sky above the stadium, amidst the twinkling stars, a sudden burst of dazzling golden light appeared!
Tang Long glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and three seconds later, a loud bang rang out!
These are fireworks displays along the River Thames.
In an instant, he had dribbled the ball close to the edge of the penalty area and entered a shooting range of 25 meters.
From this position, Tang Long can unleash a long-range shockwave by combining his footwork and precision.
What about the teammates pulling you back?
At this moment, starting center forward Bony is running straight to the right, drawing the attention of the right-back;
On the other side, Sterling was charging to the left, constantly drawing the attention of the left-back.
No one was running diagonally across each other.
Tang Long understood that the two of them weren't refusing to run; rather, they were sending him an obvious signal—stop sending messages, fight it yourself!
In front of him were two tall defenders from Queens Park Rangers.
Both of them remained in their positions, showing no sign of attempting to snatch the ball.
This was also sending a signal to Tang Long: you can shoot, but don't even think about getting past me!
Facing Tang Long, the Queens Park Rangers players lacked confidence in intercepting his ball; they could only do their best within their own area.
For this defensive play, allowing a player with the ball to take a long-range shot from outside the box is the option to minimize the threat.
The stadium was still filled with the strong aroma of whiskey.
The pungent smell, emanating from the mouths of the home London fans, accompanied by their cheers for their team, permeated the stadium.
Tang Long drew his bow and nocked an arrow, preparing to deliver a powerful shot with the instep of his foot.
At this 25-meter mark, you'll need to put in a bit more effort!
Just as his right foot was raised high, and his gaze shifted from the goalkeeper's position to the center of the ball—
He could actually smell a hint of gunpowder.
The faint, lingering smell of sulfur that comes after fireworks are set off.
[The Premier League's half-season practice session is complete!]
[Fly Eye Feature Enabled]
[Beta version under testing...]
In the blink of an eye, time suddenly stood still!
From Tang Long's perspective, everyone seemed to be moving at an incredibly slow pace, like a movie in slow motion at 0.1x speed.
On the tense, somewhat ferocious faces of the two defenders, the shape of their pores and the thickness of their body hairs were clearly visible.
And the jerseys clinging to their bodies were undergoing deformations that were normally imperceptible to the naked eye, with the rise and fall of their breaths.
England's veteran goalkeeper, Green, crouched in front of the goal, was already fully prepared. A bead of sweat on his forehead shimmered golden under the stadium lights, and was about to be flung into the air by centrifugal force as he made a powerful save.
All of this was crystal clear to Tang Long!
And after the next millisecond --
His pupils suddenly contracted!
Within the black eyes, a tiny, moving object appeared.
It was a speck of dust.
These were fireworks from the banks of the River Thames, which, after being set off in the sky, drifted into the embers of Queens Park Rangers Stadium.
[Test: Please hit this speck of dust with the football]
Bang!
Tang Long changed his shooting technique at the last moment, flicking his ankle to change from a shot with the instep to a shot with the instep!
The moment the grass-covered cleats slammed into the center of the soccer ball, time seemed to instantly reverse!
Everyone's speed suddenly increased!
Faced with the incoming ball, one defender instinctively turned to dodge, while the other closed his eyes.
The football was quickly lifted up, moving at an extremely high speed, accompanied by a whooshing sound. After swallowing the speck of dust that had drifted into the field from the banks of the River Thames, it flew higher and higher, and looked like it was about to fly over the top of the goal!
Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Green has given up on making the save.
His posture changed from bending over to standing upright;
He judged that the ball would be at least one meter above the goal, so he only subconsciously raised his hands without making any effective save.
But little did he expect that the football would suddenly plummet downwards just three meters from the goal!
The goalkeeper couldn't react at all, and just stood there, watching helplessly as the ball flew through his outstretched arms and into the net behind him!
Whew~
A few strands of hair on the top of his head were lifted by the airflow from the football.
Tang Long watched the football bouncing slightly inside the net, his fingers gripping his jersey at his chest. He shook off the sweat from his body, then let out a long sigh, exhaling a long mist of water in the winter air.
The entire Queens Park Rangers stadium was deathly silent.
Nearly 20,000 people remained completely silent.
That's how it was on the ground.
The same was evident in the broadcast footage.
However, soon, Zhan Jun's passionate voice burst forth, bringing the audience a powerful auditory impact!
"Oh my god, what just happened?!"
"Goalkeeper Green raised his hands without reacting, and the ball went through the gap between his arms, over his head, into the net from the rectangular area that was surrounded by the goal!"
"What's wrong with him? Has he turned into a lifeless zombie?!"
"It seems that Tang Long's dipping shot completely stunned him!"
"I thought it was going to go out of bounds, I was totally stunned!"
The live stream chat exploded!
Everyone's emotions were immediately ignited by Tang Long's world-class goal.
-[World-class goal! A truly super world-class goal!]
[That arc was so weird! How did Brother Long kick it like that? Did anyone see it?]
-[It should be a lift from the arch of the foot, similar to the backspin in table tennis!]
[The goalkeeper was stunned, Zhan Jun was stunned, and I was stunned too, but as long as the ball didn't get stunned, that's all that matters!]
-[I've seen the powerful shot with the instep, the curve of the instep, and the upward and downward movement of the arch just now, but this is the first time I've seen Tang Long use this technique!]
[Did I learn a new skill? Shooting skill point +1!]
Tang Long's teammates rushed towards him from all directions, and even Toure was shouting excitedly.
"Wow, I haven't seen such an awesome falling ball in ages! You're really something!"
Off the field.
Queens Park Rangers head coach Hodgson looked so incredulous that he instinctively tried to put his hands into the pockets of his black coat, but after four or five attempts, he still couldn't find them.
"Hey, this ball's trajectory is a bit like Pirlo's!"
Hodgson and Pellegrini are old acquaintances, he said with a wry smile to the Manchester City manager, who was about four or five meters away.
In the first match of Christmas, Pellegrini opened the scoring and witnessed Tang Long score a difficult, dipping long-range shot, which brought a smile to his face.
"Pirlo? No, Tang's shot dips much more dramatically than Pirlo's; Pirlo couldn't generate that kind of ball speed."
[Beta version completes first test of launch phase]
[Fly Eye function initially activated]
[Please conduct deep learning in the Cloud Training ground.]
With the only goal of the match, Manchester City secured a narrow 1-0 away victory in this Premier League game, taking three points with them as they boarded their flight back to Manchester from London.
After successfully winning the Christmas championship.
Although just three days later, there's the 19th round of the Premier League against the Crystal Palace;
However, Pellegrini, in a great mood, made an exception and gave the players a day off.
"You all better stay put in Manchester City and don't go anywhere!"
Tang Long returned home late at night.
He fell asleep, exhausted.
I slept until 9:30 the next day.
She sat up abruptly, leaned against the headboard, and searched for the characteristics of Fly Eye on her phone.
"The eyes of a fly are compound eyes, which are composed of many small eyes."
Its compound eye contains approximately 4,000 ommatidia.
The compound eye structure gives this creature an extremely wide field of vision.
They can see objects within a 360-degree range with virtually no blind spots, allowing them to easily detect food, predators, and other potential dangers from all directions during flight, enabling them to react quickly and escape or capture them in time.
They possess extremely keen visual perception, able to detect visual information imperceptible to humans, such as ultraviolet patterns on certain flowers;
It can also quickly detect extremely subtle dynamic changes in the surrounding environment, even slight airflow disturbances or minute movements of objects.
Tang Long recalled that there was a moment yesterday on the court when his eyes were incredibly sharp and discerning.
Even the shape of the pores on his opponent's face, the shape of the sweat droplets, and even a speck of dust falling from the sky, were all clearly imaged in his pupils.
However, when he tentatively looked around his room, he no longer felt that way.
He squinted again, trying to see the dust particles on the desk three meters away, but even with his eyes swollen, he still couldn't see clearly.
"My eyes are normal now, but they weren't yesterday," Tang Long muttered to himself.
With questions in mind, he entered the AI Cloud Training Ground.
