The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

"To be honest, it's pretty normal for the two sides to end up with a score of 5 to 4 in a ring match."

At this time, before the halftime break, Pan Lin, Li Yibo, and Jiang Botao were also discussing the competition between Team Xingxin and Team Thunder.

"That's right. Although Team Xingxin doesn't have any professional players who can fight multiple opponents at once, every player has the ability to fight one for one."

Li Yibo said.

Sun Zheping, Su Mucheng and Zhao Yang of the Xingxin team are all first-class players, so it is naturally easy to swap one for one.

As for Ye Xiu, if Ye Xiu was playing another profession, then there would naturally be no problem.

But now Ye Xiu is playing the solo profession, which is a bit difficult.

If Ye Xiu was playing against Lu Yining, Fang Xuecai, Dai Yanqi, Zhang Qi and others, he might be able to replace a few more people.

But if they were facing An Ning, Chu Yunxiu and Xiao Shiqin, who are also first-line players, it would be a bit difficult.

The record of 1 for 1.5 that we got today is just a relatively normal situation.

"But coming to think of it, it's still a bit regrettable. If the remaining players of Team Happy were in better shape, maybe it would really be possible..."

Li Yibo also said with some regret.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Jiang Botao on the other side.

"Coach Li, have you forgotten that An Ning from the Thunder team only had half of his health left after the game?"

Jiang Botao said.

"Uh...yes, I overlooked that."

Li Yibo also scratched his head in embarrassment.

I almost forgot about An Ning.

Although many people in the audience felt that An Ning's performance today was average, he lost so much health just fighting Su Mucheng.

But Li Yibo, the commentator, could see what An Ning was thinking in this game.

This is done solely to end the game faster and save the status.

If An Ning really encountered a situation where there were still one or two people from the Xingxin team, then the playing style would definitely be different from today.

What Jiang Botao meant by this was that An Ning did not use that tiring fighting style today, which is why the result of this ring match seemed somewhat unfair.

But if An Ning really faces an overwhelming number of people, with An Ning's level and patience, it is still very likely that he can defeat two enemies at once.

"I can only say that before this, no one thought An Ning could become so powerful."

Pan Lin also gave a summary.

In the eighth season, An Ning was at most a first-tier knight player, but now...

"The team matches for both sides will be played later, followed by a break."

After saying this, the Xingxin team's home court also entered the break time.

……

After the break, the players of the Thunder Team followed Xiao Shiqin back to the lounge prepared for the Thunder Team at the Happy Team's home court.

During the regular season, players will use this time to recuperate.

But now in the finals, it’s a little different.

After all, having come to this point, even if the players are allowed to rest, they will not be able to rest well due to tension.

In addition, to ensure that no loopholes occur.

Therefore, during the playoffs, the players from Happy and Thunder teams were all listening to their captains’ explanations and analyses of the tactics for the upcoming team competition.

"Although we are currently leading by one point in the ring match, I have told you before that what Team Happy is really good at is actually the team match."

Xiao Shiqin said to the Thunder players below.

To be honest, if we look at the entire tenth season, Team Xingxin's performance in the individual and arena competitions cannot be considered top-notch, at least, it does not match their final points.

If we only count the scores of the individual competitions and the ring matches, the Xingxin team would at best be ranked third or fourth.

At least it is slightly inferior to Samsara Tyranny and Blue Rain.

Although Sun Zheping, Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, and Zhao Yang are quite strong, they are either old, suffering from injuries, or have no advantages in their professions.

Therefore, even in the regular season, the Xingxin team tried its best to gain points through team competitions.

Therefore, the Thunder Team, which only tied with the Happy Team 5 to 4, can only say that its performance was mediocre.

It's not even to the point where I can be happy.

"In the team competition, Fang Rui from Team Xingxin will be a big problem."

An Ning said.

If it was just Fang Rui, there would be no need to be afraid. After all, the previous Howling Team, a criminal combination of Fang Rui and Lin Jingyan, although also a headache, was not to the extent of being a serious threat.

But now, the Xingxin team no longer has Lin Jingyan, but has the more difficult Ye Xiu.

With the addition of Su Mucheng, a player who can provide long-range support, the trap set by Fang Rui will at least make it very difficult for the Thunder Team to move around.

"Yes, indeed. Fang Rui needs to pay attention to this."

Xiao Shiqin also nodded.

"In this battle, I will continue to be responsible for eliminating Fang Rui's traps and supporting you."

Xiao Shiqin said.

"Xiao An, your knights should be responsible for the frontal defense, and Yunxiu will be responsible for long-range support. Yining, I want you to target the enemy's gunners."

Xiao Shiqin was also giving instructions to the players on the field.

After much deliberation, Xiao Shiqin decided to let Lu Yining be the starting player in this team competition.

As for the sixth person, it is Fang Xuecai’s ghost talent.

The reason for doing this is because the opponent is the Xingxin team.

Although in the playoffs, the combination of An Ning and Fang Xuecai has defeated many top players from major teams.

Now Fang Xuecai has already vaguely been given the title of "Great Killer".

Compared to Ji Leng at that time, it is even worse.

But An Ning, Xiao Shiqin, and even Fang Xuecai, the person involved, all knew that the only reason they got this title was because their opponents were not prepared for them and the other players of the Thunder Team cooperated well.

Admittedly, Fang Xuecai’s own strength is indispensable.

But Fang Xuecai's strength can only influence half of them at most.

The Thunder team's opponent in this game is the Happy team.

Except for Ye Xiu, the other players of Xingxin are slightly inferior to Zhou Zekai and Sun Xiang.

Even Sun Zheping, after suffering a lot of damage due to injuries, is somewhat powerless compared to Sun Xiang.

As for the others, they are no match for these two.

In terms of strength, Xingxin's players are not as good as them, but in terms of awareness and experience, Samsara team is far behind Xingxin team.

Facing the Xingxin team, which has a very high average professional age, if Fang Xuecai is allowed to start, it will be quite difficult to launch a sneak attack on the players of the Xingxin team.

Even Xiao Shiqin was considering whether to let Dai Yanqi play as the sixth player in this game.

However, considering that Dai Yanqi is still very young, and there is a possibility that she will be low on health by then, Xiao Shiqin decided to let Lu Yining start and Fang Xuecai be the sixth man.

"Let's target their pastor this time."

An Ning said.

Ye Xiu also came up with a joke before.

It's called No Pastor.

But in such an important professional competition, Xingxin would definitely not give up the priest.

Therefore, targeting An Wenyi seemed to be the simplest and most brutal way.

"Ah."

Xiao Shiqin nodded.

This is indeed the best way.

The current lineup of the Xingxin team is five top players with a burden.

In fact, An Wenyi's level is pretty good, but the problem is that he is not worthy of a championship-level team at the moment.

If An Wenyi was in some mid- to lower-level teams, he might be able to earn a good value.

But in the Xingxin team, he can only be a burden to the Xingxin team.

This is also the only weakness of the Xingxin team that is exposed.

"Eat some bananas first."

Yang Xinyue, who was waiting on the side, took the time to hand over some fruits and drinks when she saw that Xiao Shiqin had finished his explanation.

After all, there will be a high-intensity team competition next. Even if there is nothing wrong now, you still need to replenish your energy in order to maintain your physical strength in the team competition later.

Afterwards, several people listened to Xiao Shiqin's explanation of tactics while eating bananas.

As for Dai Yanqi, Zhang Qimi Xiuyuan and others who were not selected for this game, they had already started showing off.

"Uh... I was wondering why you guys eat so much."

Yang Xinyue looked at Dai Yanqi holding a banana in her left hand and an apple in her right hand, and held her forehead helplessly.

"We don't have any games to play, and we're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so we might as well have a full stomach."

After Dai Yanqi finished speaking, she also glanced at Zhang Qi and Mi Xiuyuan beside her.

The two of them nodded in agreement.

"It would be even better if there were melon seeds."

Dai Yanqi did not forget to add one more sentence.

"You two..."

Yang Xinyue said somewhat helplessly.

"But there are really melon seeds."

Yang Xinyue looked at them and said.

"Really?"

Dai Yanqi said with some surprise.

"We can't help it. We have you guys on our team."

After all, Yang Xinyue had worked as the Thunder team's life manager for a period of time, so she naturally knew how eccentric these people were.

Therefore, it is quite normal to prepare these things in advance.

"Well, I'll get you some. Eat less and don't overeat."

Yang Xinyue said somewhat helplessly.

"Sister Yang, you are my only sister!"

Dai Yanqi immediately tried to please him.

"Don't be too obvious, or you'll be caught by the camera."

As she spoke, Yang Xinyue also walked out of the lounge and went to get some melon seeds for the few people.

……

After a period of rest, the team competition between the two sides is about to begin.

The three commentators arrived at the commentary desk a few minutes earlier than the players.

Because they had to prepare for the game, they had to chat about some things to delay the time.

"Welcome back. What will be going on soon is a team match between the two teams. The score is currently 5 to 4, and the Thunder Team is currently in the lead."

Pan Lin also briefly summarized the results of the previous competitions.

"Moreover, this match is Team Xingxin's home game. If Team Xingxin cannot win this match, then the second round will be more difficult for both teams."

Li Yibo next to him also said this.

"But, which side do you two think will win in the upcoming team competition?"

As he spoke, Pan Lin also asked Li Yibo and Jiang Botao beside him.

After Li Yibo and Jiang Botao looked at each other, Li Yibo signaled Jiang Botao to speak first.

Li Yibo is now very good at making up lies. No matter which side Jiang Botao is more optimistic about, Li Yibo can always make up a reason to stand on the other side.

"I am more optimistic about Team Happy."

Jiang Botao thought about it and finally said it out.

"Oh, why? Could it be that because the Thunderbolt team defeated your Samsara team, Team Jiang is more optimistic about Happy?"

Pan Lin also said this as a joke.

"how is this possible?"

Jiang Botao also said with a helpless smile.

"It's just that before, the tactics used by the Thunder Team were more inclined towards decapitation, while the Happy Team didn't seem to have any options that could be used as decapitation targets."

Jiang Botao also expressed his thoughts.

Although in the last match between Thunder and Samsara Team, Thunder successfully beheaded the captain of Samsara Team, Zhou Zekai.

But that was also because the Samsara team’s lineup felt torn at the time.

Most of the players on the Samsara team are relatively young and still lack experience.

However, the Xingxin team does not have this shortcoming.

Therefore, Jiang Botao is more optimistic about the Xingxin team.

The Thunder team is very strong, but they are "surprisingly" strong.

In other words, if they use unexpected tactics, the Thunder Team will be difficult to defeat.

But if they don't use or can't use any unexpected tactics, it will be difficult for them to be the opponent of Team Xingxin.

"Then... Can't An Wenyi be targeted?"

Pan Lin also asked questions from the audience.

Yes, as An Wenyi is the only player of average level in the Xingxin team competition, it is relatively easy for him to be beheaded.

"As for this point... I can only say that Team Happy is not that easy to target."

Jiang Botao shook his head.

After Jiang Botao finished his analysis, it was Li Yibo's turn to explain why he was more optimistic about the Thunder Team.

To sum up, it is what Jiang Botao mentioned before.

The Thunder Team is better at this. Li Yibo believes that the Thunder Team might come up with some surprising tactics to defeat the Happy Team in this game.

At this time, players from both sides have already walked onto the competition stage.

"Okay, both players have walked onto the stage, the game is about to begin!"

As Pan Lin's voice fell, the map of this team match also appeared on the roster.

The map for this game is called Under the Old City.

The main body of this map is an ancient city leaning against the edge of a cliff, but because of its dilapidated state, only a small part of the city map can be used as a battlefield.

Most of the map is still various hills, gullies, and forests.

Xingxin's intention in choosing this map was very obvious, which was to cooperate with the thieves' various traps to make the Thunder Team's fight more frustrating.
