Glory of tactics

"Are you playing a thief? Or an assassin? Have you ever considered transitioning?" Wang Jiexi said to Fang Rui when the players from both sides lined up to shake hands after the team match.

"Of course it's a thief! If we really use assassins, I'm afraid I won't be able to hit even one of these two life-threatening blows!" Fang Rui, who had just been named the MVP of this game, replied with a thief smile. The face with squinted eyes resembled a weasel that had just stolen a chicken.

Although Wang Jiexi's words were just a joke, the speaker did not mean it, but the listener did. Lin Jingyan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but think about it and seriously considered the feasibility of this matter.

He has determined that he will retire after playing for at least one more year. So who will take over Tang San's fight has actually become a very urgent question.

Even players using the same profession have different playing styles. No matter who takes over Tang San's fight, the weapons and equipment must be rearranged, the skill levels must be rearranged, and the fighting routines based on this must also be redesigned. These cannot be adjusted in a short period of time.

For the above, we still simply use the new Tang San as a duel character. If you want to play in a team competition, it will be more difficult to adapt and it will take longer. Half a season is considered fast.

You see, even a genius like Qiu Fei, after half a season, is simply used as a fulcrum and is not fully integrated into the whole.

What Wang Jiexi told Fang Rui about transformation, even he didn't take seriously, but it reminded Lin Jingyan of a past incident.

Back then, in the fifth season, the reason Wuxiao introduced Fang Rui from the Blue Rain training camp was because he wanted to regard him as Tang San's successor. But later on, Fang Rui showed his strength as a main force and his talent as a thief, and Lin Jingyan's condition declined but did not slip, so the matter ended without any problems.

Now it seems that Fang Rui is a good candidate to take over Tang San's fight. With his strength and experience, he might be able to initially form combat effectiveness during the summer break.

Could it be that, after all the detours, Fang Rui would eventually have to use Tang San's attack? However, after all these years, Fang Rui, who has been respected as the number one thief, is still willing to give up the mystery that made him famous and accept Tang San's fight?

"Old Lin, what are you thinking about?" Wang Jiexi stretched out his hand in front of Lin Jingyan for a while, but saw that Lin Jingyan seemed to be out of his mind, so he couldn't help but ask aloud.

"Uh, it's nothing. I'm older, so I was fine during the competition, but after the fight I couldn't keep up." Lin Jingyan casually said a few words, shook hands with Wang Jiexi, and then said politely, "It was a very exciting competition, I hope it will be better next time." Same goes for one round.”

Hearing the implication of Lin Jingyan's words, Wuxiao won the next round and the result. Wang Jiexi said without giving up: "It is indeed exciting, but in the next round, Tiny Herb will win! We will see you next week."

"See you in Jinling," Lin Jingyan said firmly, "It's time for us to be the hosts next!"

They are rivals on the court and friends off the court.

Even in the playoffs, after the game, there was no sign of tension between the two sides. At most, they expressed their determination to win.

Glory's professional circle, to be honest, is actually very small. Except for a few old enemies, the relationship between them is quite good.

After the salute, several captains and vice-captains went to attend a brief post-match press conference, while the other team members went back to the preparation room to pick up their equipment and personal belongings, and went directly to the club bus to wait.

The second round was said to be next week, but in fact it was only four days later. This seems to be imminent for both sides who are about to move to Jinling.

Wuxiao is taking a flight back tonight, and Tiny Herb is taking a flight at noon tomorrow. At this time, no one chose to take the train in order to save some money on air tickets.

Before getting on the plane, several of the main players of Howl were still discussing the second game in a few days.

Lin Jingyan said: "Fortunately, we won the team competition tonight.

Otherwise, when we return to the home court, we won’t even have a chance to fight hard. Now we have 5 points and Tiny Herb has 4.5 points. The difference can be said to be negligible. We must ensure victory in the second game before we can advance to the next round. "

Fang Rui said excitedly, "I just discovered something very interesting. What do you think it is?"

Everyone looked at him, wondering why Fang Rui was still in a joking mood at this time.

Qiu Feidao: "Brother Fang, just tell me directly, I'm really not in the mood to guess."

Several other people also nodded in agreement.

Fang Rui said with a bored expression: "When I shook hands with Wang Jiexi just now, I noticed that his hands were shaking badly. If this is not an act, it means that he has consumed a lot of energy. In these few days, he will never be able to fully Recovery. Then when we return to the home court, the probability of success with our carefully prepared mobilization tactics will be very high."

Lin Jingyan nodded and said: "If it is true, this is really good news. But there is one thing I want to tell you. My condition may not be good in the next round."

Lin Jingyan smiled bitterly, stretched out his hands and said to Fang Rui: "If you hadn't killed Wang Buliuxing just now and sealed the victory, I'm afraid my hands would have cramped."

Qiu Fei on the side suddenly realized why at the last moment of the game, when Wu Xiao had the overall advantage, Tang San was counterattacked by Mu En.

Lin Jingyan said with some seriousness: "In the second game, I'm afraid I can only play the second half of the team competition."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Lin Jingyan to fight to this extent.

Fang Rui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are still here. If you don't want to fight, then we won't fight. It's not like you are missing. Anyway, Lao Zheng has no competition mission in the next game, so let him take over for you."

Lin Jingyan said helplessly: "That's all we can do."

Tiny Herb was overturned by the roar at home, causing quite a stir after the game. However, after studying the game video, most public opinion felt that Wuxiao's victory was a bit of a fluke, and that he won the game purely by relying on Fang Rui's two life-saving blows. Without these two amazing performances, this round would have lost suspense in the first round just like the previous two games.

Therefore, even though Tiny Herb suffered a small loss in the first game, the public still believed that they could qualify in the away game.

Because in history, there has never been a situation where the two rounds totaled the same points and extra games were required, so who comes first at home and away games is still determined by drawing lots.

Among the four teams with higher rankings in the regular season, Samsara and Tiny Herb played first as home and then guest, while Blue Rain and Tyranny played first as guest and then home.

Generally speaking, the map selection advantage of the home court does not have a great impact on stronger teams.

The Thunder's home court is considered a tough one in the league. But facing Blue Rain, even though they had the advantage of choosing a map, they only relied on Xiao Shiqin to score 1 point.

However, in the fourth game between Tyranny and Yanyu, Yanyu, who was at home, overturned Tyranny. The final score was 7.5:2. Tyranny, which was ranked higher, only got 2 points.
