The Strongest God

——10:4!

The moment Lan Weiran fell, the score finally popped up on the big screen, and at the same time, Team Dragons was directly judged as the winner by the referee!

This is the special rule of the playoffs. The first four rounds total 18 points. No matter which round is played, as long as a certain team scores 10 points first, it will be directly judged as the winner. Even more tense and exciting, Long Yin managed to get back a flag in the fourth game after losing two flags at home in the third game. There was no need to play the next game. Finish.

The map Ye Chenxi chose in the fourth round didn't have any effect at all, and Luohuaci's team battle didn't even start, but so what?Lan Weiran's tactical thinking is very clear - that is, to fight for the blue flag with all his strength, and if he wins it, he can win directly!

Facts have proved that the Dragon Yin team's dangerous move at the critical moment has indeed seen miraculous results.At the moment when the blue flag was won, all the players of the Longyin team stood up from their seats and embraced excitedly!

Yes, they won!

They exchanged the downfall of one teammate after another for the ownership of the flag, and won the difficult 2 points.

No words can describe their mood at the moment.

This victory was not easy to come by. Everyone tried their best. This is a well-deserved victory for the Longyin team. It was difficult for them to win, but they also won beautifully!

Zhang Shuping said excitedly: "10:4! I thought the score between Long Yin and Luo Huaci would be very close, but the possibility of 10:8 was extremely high. I never expected such a score to be played in the end—the match ended early Yes! In the fourth round, there were still two flags that were not counted. Everyone guessed that if they continued to fight, those two flags would most likely be taken by Luohuaci. This tactic will end the game immediately on the road!"

"Congratulations to the Dragon Yin team for winning this competition, and congratulations to them for advancing to the finals of the thirteenth season!"

Zhang Shuping's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and there were deafening cheers at the scene.

Although this is the home court of Shanghai Luohuaci, there are also many fans of the Longyin team who have come from afar. At this moment, they have already disregarded their image. Yin fans, they only feel that their hearts are full of pride—everyone in the Dragon Yin team is amazing!

At this moment, the director cleverly pointed the camera at the VIP stand, and the audience noticed that Xiao Sijing, Shao Zehang, Fang Zhiyan, and several captains who were watching the match also stood up at the same time and applauded Team Dragons— —This is their respect and affirmation of this strongest opponent.

Zhang Shuping said: "We saw that Team Shao, Team Xiao and Team Fang were also applauding in the audience. It seems that today's game has indeed allowed Longyin's strength to be recognized by the major teams in the league! There are still one and a half games left In the final, tomorrow afternoon at 02:30 is the duel between Bronze Sparrow and Seven Star Grass, the winner of the two will compete with Long Yin for the championship of this season!"

Hu Liang looked at the score and was filled with emotion: "Actually, when I first found out that Silan was returning to form a team with Chuan Shen, I always thought I heard it wrong. Later, I saw him play as the vice-captain of Longyin in the regular season. I believed this fact. The game I watched happened to be the first half of the regular season when Longyin lost away to Shengtang. At that time, the Dragonyin team still had many shortcomings of new teams. For example, Lin Tong only knew how to fight hard in the ring. The explosion broke out but was completely abused by Vice Team Chen; Wu Zewen, a five-poison player, was thrown a kite by the opponent using the terrain in the foggy forest. Thought they were dangerous even for the playoffs."

"This is also what shocked many people. I have to admit that the Dragon Yin team has made great progress. Under the leadership of the three great gods, the growth rate of these newcomers is simply unbelievable!" Zhang Shuping also sighed, "You The shortcomings mentioned above, they have quickly found and adjusted them in the second half of the regular season. The current Dragon Yin team is very united as a whole. This is a team with no obvious shortcomings. Performance in the finals!"

***

In the soundproof room, the captains of both sides signed the form handed over by the referee, and the game finally came to an end.

On the large screen of the live broadcast at the scene, there were replays of the highlights of the game edited by the backstage staff. Many people in the audience watched the big screen intently. They were still immersed in the fierce competition and were reluctant to leave.

As for the Dragon Yin team, after everyone hugged and celebrated together, Liu Chuan hugged Si Lan alone, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job."

Lan Weiran smiled: "You too."

He lived up to Liu Chuan's trust and personally commanded and won the game; and Liu Chuan also helped him at the critical moment, playing a great role in the fourth game and perfectly completing Lan Weiran's tactical deployment.

——Once a mortal enemy, now a teammate fighting side by side, a short sentence, well done, is their greatest affirmation to each other.

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "We'll talk about the celebration at night. Jiang Xue must have already made arrangements. Let's go to Luohuaci to shake hands first according to the rules. What do you think?"

The winner of the game will have to shake hands in the soundproof room of the other side. This is the rule of the professional league for so many years. Chairman Li probably set this rule in the hope that everyone can maintain a certain degree of friendship after the game and don't bear too much grudge against the opponent... But in fact, in many cases, shaking hands after the game will make both parties extremely embarrassed.

Lan Weiran didn't want to shake hands with Ye Chenxi at this moment, but out of politeness, he, the vice-captain, had to go with Liu Chuan. Seeing Liu Chuan's smile, Lan Weiran nodded and said, "Let's go."

On Luohuaci's side, the players looked a little depressed. It's no wonder that the fourth round ended early on the road, and their prepared style of play was abruptly terminated by the Dragon Yin team before they were able to fight. Losing the flag is also frustrating and regrettable.

Seeing the people from the Dragon Yin team coming to shake hands, several young team members lowered their heads and extended their hands to shake hands politely.

On the contrary, the expressions of the captains and deputy captains were relatively relaxed, especially Ye Chenxi, who still had a smile on his face, walked up to Liu Chuan, stretched out his hand and said, "Congratulations on reaching the finals."

Liu Chuan also reached out to shake his hand, and said with a smile, "You're welcome, Team Ye."

Ye Chenxi looked at Lan Weiran, and Lan Weiran stepped forward, hugged him gently, and whispered in his ear, "Sorry."

Only Ye Chenxi could hear this apology - it was Lan Weiran's apology to Luo Huaci.

But Lan Weiran didn't regret it.When he let go of the hug, his eyes were still calm.This is his own decision, and once he decides on this path, he will go down very firmly.At the beginning, he chose the Dragon Yin team, and then the Dragon Yin team gave him a chance to be reborn. As the vice captain of the Dragon Yin, he only did what he should do in this game. He did not disappoint his current teammates. He can pat his chest and say openly: I am the conductor of this game.

People who have been unable to let go of the past will become cowardly, Lan Weiran will not let himself become such an indecisive person.At the moment when he decided to form a team with Liu Chuan and return, he could not turn back, so today, he also decisively defeated Luohuaci by all means!

In fact, even if Lan Weiran didn't say sorry, Ye Chenxi could understand it.

If there was a kind of anger of being betrayed because of Master and Liu Chuan's team at the beginning, now Ye Chenxi has already understood him thoroughly.Especially today, Ye Chenxi even felt sad seeing the scene where he was the last one to knock down the Ling Qi - it was Lan Weiran's obsession with the championship, and it was a kind of unwillingness he suppressed in his heart. It had been for four consecutive seasons He missed the championship all the time, this time, he just wanted to seize this rare opportunity.

No one is wrong, everyone's goal of winning the championship is actually the same.

Facing Lan Weiran's gaze, Ye Chenxi smiled slightly, hugged him gently, and said softly: "It's okay, do what you want to do, don't leave any regrets."

Lan Weiran nodded, turned around and left with the members of the Longyin team.

Ye Chenxi watched his back gradually disappear from sight. This time, there would be no reluctance and powerlessness to watch him leave, because Ye Chenxi knew that Lan Weiran would always be there, fighting for the trophy just like herself. effort.

In this post-match interview, the Luohuaci team encountered many doubts from media reporters.

"In the fourth game, there is actually a chance to win, especially at the last moment on the road, only a few seconds late, but the flag was given away. Did Team Ye feel particularly regretful? Is it because of the slow reaction or the influence of emotional factors?"

Ye Chenxi smiled and said: "Many people may think that Lan Weiran and I have a master-student relationship, and I like to praise him in front of the reporters. I have always shown respect for this master, will it cause me Can't go all out in this game? Let him on purpose, or don't have the heart to kill him?"

Ye Chenxi paused for a moment, looked calmly at the reporters in the audience, and said, "What I want to say is—first of all, I am the captain of the Luohuaci team. Secondly, I am Lan Weiran's apprentice. As a Captain, I am not playing for myself alone. I have the responsibility of the entire Luohuaci team on my shoulders. Therefore, no matter who the opponent is, I will not be polite! A game is a game. If I don’t know him well on the field, I will Saying I'm going to hold back on him. If I'm holding back on him, it's a blasphemy against him playing as hard as he can."

Team Ye's words were powerful and resolute, and the amplification through the microphone was even more shocking.

The reporters began to applaud neatly, Ye Chenxi was right, the only way to respect your opponent on the field is to show your full strength!

Although losing the game made people feel uncomfortable, the reporter was too embarrassed to embarrass him when facing Team Ye who was always smiling.After the applause ended, a reporter stood up and asked, "Hello, Team Ye. Today's game lost too many points in the ring stage. Did this surprise you too?"

"It's a surprise." Ye Chenxi looked back at Lin Yufan, and said with certainty, "Before the match, we thought that the ring would be at least 3:3, but we didn't expect Long Yin to send so many top masters in the ring. The score of 0:6 made us passive in the late team battle, which is also one of the biggest reasons for losing the game.”

Lin Yufan echoed: "According to the pre-match arrangement, we actually didn't intend to directly use the lineup of Liu Xiaoyao, and we were forced to play today. Although we have trained many times in the team for the Six Xiaoyao lineup, after all I haven’t used it in an official game, so it’s still very risky to take it out.”

A reporter said: "The lineup advantage of double-lane transmission seems quite obvious. Does it mean that Luo Huaci will try this lineup more in the next season?"

Lin Yufan said: "This is how we plan, today is just a rehearsal in advance."

Ye Chenxi also nodded with a smile: "This new lineup has just been researched, and its advantages are obvious. It is most suitable for consecutive flags in the way of fast hitting and double-line transmission, but the shortcomings of the pure crispy lineup are also very obvious. , at least when facing the Seven Star Grass, we dare not rush into the Liu Xiaoyao formation, Lao Xiao will definitely teach us to be human."

Team Ye's humorous statement also eased the atmosphere a lot.

As the strongest Shaolin in the alliance, Xiao Sijing must be very happy to meet this kind of pure crispy formation. In addition to the various negative states of the Seven Star Grass and Five Poisons teaming up, playing the Seven Star Grass without healing is simply digging his own grave.

Ye Chenxi went on to say: "At present, there is no invincible formation in the league. Every formation has advantages and disadvantages. This is the most interesting part of the game. Our lineup actually has many nemesis. After studying this style of play It is also to enrich Luohuaci’s tactical ideas. Winning or losing a game is a common thing, so you don’t have to worry about our Luohuaci’s morale being affected. Although we lost this game, many new styles of play we have studied will continue in the next season Meet the audience. The new lineup tested the waters in the third game today and actually played pretty well, and several rookies are also very good. I believe that Luo Huaci will definitely perform even better next season."

The scene once again burst into warm applause!

This young captain, since his debut, gave people the impression of being so calm and calm. No matter whether he wins or loses, Ye Chenxi always has a polite smile on his face, which has almost become his trademark.

Although they lost this game, it is gratifying that they have developed many new styles of play, and this team has been growing.

Today's Ye Chenxi, who sat in front of the reporters and said frankly, "I am the captain of Luohuaci, no matter who the opponent is, I will not be polite!" Ye Chenxi looks like a special man!

Although he is not very old, he has also experienced many twists and turns. When he was young, he was able to grit his teeth and survive the difficulty of Luohuaci's disbandment after his master retired. Now he will naturally not be discouraged by losing the game. .

Fans of Luohuaci firmly believe that the young Captain Ye will definitely lead Luohuaci to a better tomorrow.

***

The interview of Luohuaci is over, and the reporters finally look forward to the arrival of Team Dragons.

As the conductor, Lan Weiran had to appear in person, and Liu Chuan and Qin Ye also attended the scene in person. The presence of the three great gods together was enough to show that they attached great importance to this interview, and also won deafening applause from the reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

"First of all, congratulations to the Dragon Yin team for entering the finals!" A female reporter stood up and said excitedly, "Everyone's performance today was very handsome! The last game was really thrilling. I want to ask Si Lan how he felt at that time ? After making such a decision, aren’t you afraid that there will be a tragedy if the flag cannot be taken down?”

"Of course I've thought about this." Lan Weiran said with a smile, "But there is no 100% sure winning tactic in the game. Although this decision was risky, it was the best way at the time. In fact, if you analyze it carefully in the fourth round I will definitely choose a map that is very unfavorable to our side. It is not easy to win if you seek stability, so it is better to put all your eggs in one basket and only fight the first wave of team battles to end the game as quickly as possible."

"That's right, if I were in command, I would make the same arrangements. The score of 8:4 doesn't need to drag them into three team battles." Liu Chuan also agreed with Lan Weiran's statement.

Another reporter stood up and asked, "Isn't it the first time for Long Yin to use the pure damage lineup in the fourth game? Especially since Lin Tong has never been in a team fight before, such a risky substitution is actually quite like a big gamble. , if a player has a problem, they may lose everything, was Silan under a lot of pressure at that time?"

"There is some pressure, because if we lose, we will lose the chance to compete for the championship." Lan Weiran smiled, "I have no choice but to change players like this. Qin Ye will definitely be able to play higher output, but Lin Tong is relatively In other words, there will be more control methods. Liu Chuan will not be able to control the field alone, so Lin Tong must help him share his pressure. Lin Tong has no experience in team battles, but as long as she plays her role and fights the flag It’s enough to disrupt the opponent’s rhythm, and the goal assigned to her is very clear, I think she should be able to do it, and the facts have proved that Lin Tong has not let everyone down.”

There was applause again at the scene. Everyone saw the progress of Lin Tong, a female player. She really played well today, and the girl who was replaced temporarily played hard enough, especially before she died. , the picture of a flaming dragon rushing towards Lingqi makes people feel heroic in the bottom of their hearts!

Someone handed the microphone to Qin Ye: "Yeye performed very steadily in the ring today, and he also performed well in the third round of the team battle. When he was suddenly replaced in the fourth round, did you question Si Lan's tactical arrangement?"

"Before the substitution, he told me that I agree with his tactical thinking, so I don't have any objections to replacing Lin Tong. In order to win, no matter how the command arranges, the others just need to obey." Qin Ye's tone Still as calm as usual.

The reporter asked: "There are rumors outside that you and Si Lan have never gotten along. Is this true?"

Lan Weiran smiled and put his arms around Qin Ye's shoulders: "Nonsense, I have a very good relationship with Qin Ye, and we watch science fiction movies together every day."

"..." Qin Ye moved his hand away and said, "I really hate Si Lan. Every time I come here for spoilers, I haven't watched a movie properly for a month in a row."

Liu Chuan drove Lan Weiran to sit next to him, and sat between the two to separate them. He smiled and said, "Although these two people in our team often quarrel, they actually have a good relationship, especially when dealing with When I was there, the two of them really worked together."

The reporters roared with laughter.It is completely unexpected that these great gods who are vigorous and resolute on the field will have such an interesting side in their daily lives.

Liu Chuan's words brushed aside the rumors of the feud between Lan Ye and the two, and the reporters laughed for a while before turning the topic back to the game: "Long Yin has entered the finals, and the opponents in the next game will be Tongque and Seven Stars in the semi-finals tomorrow." There are two teams in the grass, which side does God Chuan think has the greater chance of winning?"

"Predicting the result now will offend people. In order to save some good luck for our team, I will not be crowed." Liu Chuan touched his nose with a smile and said, "The result of the next semi-final will be known tomorrow. Seven Star Grass is still Bronze Sparrow, we will all prepare well, we have reached the finals, everyone must try our best to fight again, it is naturally the best to fight for the championship, and if you don’t win the championship, there will be silver medals and bonuses.”

"..." The reporters were speechless.Can't you be more bold and say that I will definitely win the championship?What does it mean to win a silver medal even if you can't beat the champion?

Liu Chuan said with a smile: "For the finals, I think the most important thing is to let the players relax and play at their own level, so that the audience will not be disappointed, and I will not leave any regrets. I will not give orders to say 'You must win the championship' or what, at this point, in fact, everyone has seen the growth of our Longyin team, and everyone has a bottom line in their hearts, I think, through the final finals, let the players see themselves clearly , prove yourself, that's enough."

Lan Weiran also had a relaxed tone, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have entered the finals. Before, I was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs every time. I didn't even qualify for the bronze medal. It must be a breakthrough in my career. As Liu Chuan said, even if I lose, I can still win the runner-up medal, so facing this game, I don’t have any pressure.”

Qin Ye still had a calm expression, and said seriously: "Of course we hope to win the championship in the end, but this will not be pressure, but our motivation. Therefore, in the final game, we will put down all our psychological burdens and do our best to go to the championship. Fight once. Everyone can rest assured that although the outcome cannot be guaranteed, we can guarantee that this match will be wonderful!"

The applause at the scene was deafening!

Seeing their relaxed appearance, the reporters couldn't help admiring: the mentality of these great gods is really good!

The core players will have a great impact on the overall style of a team. Long Yin has never met them all the way because of Liu Chuan's calm atmosphere, Lan Weiran's whimsical ideas, and Qin Ye's calmness and rigor. There were moments of breakdown.When they lose, they immediately reflect on their shortcomings and try to correct them. When they win, they celebrate excitedly but are not proud of it. Come and step into the threshold of the finals!

As Qin Ye said, there is no way to guarantee the outcome of this match, but they will definitely try their best to play at their own level!

The applause at the scene could not be subsided for a long time. The reporters gave the applause to the three great gods who attended the interview, and also gave it to the six newcomers who were making rapid progress in the background. At this moment, everyone stood up unanimously. Applause for the established team—Team Dragons!

When Lan Weiran returned to the backstage, he happened to see Hu Liang standing in the corridor as if waiting for him.Lan Weiran turned back to Liu Chuan and said, "You guys go with Jiang Xue first, and I'll take a taxi there later."

Liu Chuan said, "Okay, I'll text you the address."

Lan Weiran walked up to Hu Liang, smiled and said, "You're waiting for me, right?"

Hu Liang also smiled: "That's right, I haven't seen you for many years, and I want to talk to you. I didn't have the time to say a lot because I was afraid that it would affect your mood before the game."

Lan Weiran nodded: "Okay, let's have a cup of coffee nearby, I invite you."

The two went to a nearby coffee shop to sit down together, Lan Weiran habitually ordered his favorite latte and ordered two packs of sugar.Hu Liang looked at him and said, "You still like to drink sweets so much that you don't worry about toothache?"

Lan Weiran smiled and said, "Why do you have to drink hard when you've worked hard enough?"

"..." Hu Liang didn't speak.

Lan Weiran’s habit of adding a lot of sugar to his coffee was gradually formed in the fourth season when his father was sick. At that time, Lan Weiran was very anxious every day, and it happened that the playoffs were coming soon, and he had to be distracted to take care of him Father, while he was busy analyzing tactics and leading the team to play games, he drank several cups of coffee every day to refresh himself. The taste of coffee was too bitter, so he would add a lot of sugar to it, and this habit has continued.

Looking at Lan Weiran who was sitting in front of him drinking coffee with a relaxed expression, Hu Liang suddenly felt as if his heart was being pricked by a needle. He knew that this man didn't need sympathy, but sometimes he also felt that fate was really unfair.

Hu Liang sighed softly, and said: "I created a private group when I retired, and I didn't pull you into the group when you didn't use your account. At first, everyone was still chatting in the group, but then there was basically no one in that group. Speaking of which, the brothers who retired together back then are now in different places, and everyone has forgotten about the game. Except for me who still pays attention to the league games, everyone else has completely changed their careers... I didn’t Thinking that you have the courage to come back, just for this, I admire you very much!"

Hu Liang picked up the coffee cup in his hand, raised it to Lan Weiran as if toasting, and drank it all in one gulp.

Lan Weiran smiled: "How can you drink coffee like this? It's really a good drink."

Hu Liang also smiled: "You know I'm a rough person, I don't know the etiquette of drinking coffee, and I never want to touch Western food."

"Remember, when you were in the team, you were very curious about why I drank coffee every day, and I asked Xiaoye to make a cup for you, and I was choked to tears when I drank it down in one breath. I don't like to use a knife when eating steak, and I really want to tear it with my hands. Being stopped by someone... every time I take you out for dinner, it's very embarrassing." Thinking of that scene back then, Lan Weiran couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

But Hu Liang fell silent.That is the memory of Luohuaci, and Lan Weiran remembers it so clearly, it can be seen that he has never forgotten the team he created by himself, and that was also the best time of Lan Weiran's youth.

After a long time, Hu Liang asked in a low voice: "I have a question, I've been wanting to ask you since I saw the news of your comeback..."

Hu Liang looked at Lan Weiran, and asked cautiously, "You...why didn't you go back to Luohuaci?"

However, Lan Weiran did not have the expression of being touched by a sore foot as he imagined. Instead, he took a few sips of coffee calmly, then raised his head to look at the old friend in front of him, and said with a smile, "Do you think However, once I go back, Ye Chenxi will definitely give up the captain to me?"

"..." Hu Liang didn't think carefully about this point.

"I don't need anyone to give in, and I don't want him to cause any unhappiness with his teammates because of me. Emotionally speaking, I should go back to Luohuaci, but today's Luohuaci has long been Ye Chenxi's world. A brand new team formed by Ye Chenxi himself."

Lan Weiran paused, his eyes were calm and firm: "I just want to leave him with one, complete and complete, belonging to his dynasty."

Hu Liang looked at Lan Weiran in surprise, and at that moment he was suddenly speechless. From an emotional point of view, Si Lan should indeed return to Luohua Ci, but Si Lan's thoughts were farther ahead than he thought—what about after going back?With Ye Chenxi's personality, he will definitely give way to the master, but if there is a disagreement between the new team members who are not familiar with Silan and Silan, who should Ye Chenxi help?In case the fans of Luo Hua Ci disagree with Si Lan, who should Ye Chenxi turn to?

Airborne veteran masters may not be able to convince the crowd, but may easily cause disputes within the team.Lan Weiran didn't want Luohuaci to become a team of civil strife, and he didn't want Ye Chenxi to be caught in the middle, so he decisively chose to leave.

When everyone was young at Luohuaci, Hu Liang only remembered that Lan Weiran was a very persistent and strong person, but today, he realized that Lan Weiran was far stronger than he thought.The reporters all said that Ye Chenxi is a good apprentice who protects the master everywhere, but how many people know that Lan Weiran's actions are actually the best protection for Ye Chenxi?

As a master, Lan Weiran resisted all doubts and pressures.Ye Chenxi only left one, complete and complete, belonging to his dynasty.
