Chapter 137 Two in One Chapter

At the end of the game, the players of the Huaguo team took the initiative to shake hands in the soundproof room of the Japanese team under the leadership of Pei Feng.

Several Japanese players looked ugly as if they were going to kill themselves on the spot. Before the start of the game, they always thought that it would be easy to win against the Huaguo team today. As a result, two consecutive games 1:6?

They couldn't believe the result.

Pei Feng shook hands with the other side in a graceful manner, and then returned to the backstage.

The staff were waiting for them in the background, and Chairman Qi took the lead in applauding: "Well done everyone! It's great!"

Lao Chang excitedly said, "This is our first time entering the semi-finals, right?"

Yu Mingxiang choked up and said, "Yeah, it's our first time participating in the Asian Championships. Most of the players are newcomers. It's amazing to be in the semi-finals!"

Jiang Shaoyu looked at Pei Feng and praised him rarely, "You played well."

Today's game can win the Japanese team, Pei Feng's clear and calm command and mobilization, and flexible response strategies are indispensable. The command is the backbone of the entire team. Only when the command is stable can the military spirit of the team members be stable.

For the first time participating in an international competition, Pei Fengneng commanded calmly and acted accordingly. He was not nervous or flustered at all. Even Jiang Shaoyu was surprised. Pei Feng didn't look like a rookie for the first time, but a mature and stable veteran.

He must have done a lot of hard work over the years and studied a lot of game videos, right?

A rich reserve of tactical knowledge is the basis for Pei Fengneng's confidence.

As long as Pei Feng sits there, he is like a needle in the sea.

The other players of the Huaguo team were influenced by him and could immediately keep up with the team rhythm. Pei Feng's overall vision and commanding talent far exceeded Jiang Shaoyu's expectations.

Pei Feng was overjoyed to see Master's admiring look. He walked quickly to the master and asked in a low voice, "I didn't let you down, did you?"

Jiang Shaoyu raised the corner of his lips and said, "The command is good. But don't be in a hurry to be proud, there are stronger opponents behind you."

Pei Feng nodded: "I understand."

The two looked at each other, the apprentice's eyes were deep and gentle, and they seemed to contain more emotions.

Jiang Shaoyu looked away uncomfortably.

Jiang Shaoyu is really proud to have such an apprentice.

Pei Feng's idea is very simple. Master has worked so hard behind the scenes. As an apprentice, of course he has to do his best on stage. He didn't want to see Jiang Shaoyu's disappointed eyes, and he didn't want to hear the keyboard warriors in China say "Team Huaguo is a coward."

He wants to lead this national team and completely change people's impression of the Chinese national team.

This is also the common goal of their teachers and students.

At the suggestion of Chairman Qi, Yan Luo, a reporter with the team, came over to interview excitedly: "Fred, today's 2:0 win against Japan, what do you want to say to the domestic audience?"

Pei Feng looked at the camera and smiled brightly: "Thank you for your attention to the Asian Championships. I hope you can give more support to the national team. We will continue to work hard in the next games."

The reporter asked: "Are you in charge of the two games today?"

Pei Feng nodded: "Yes. I was in charge of the two games, but the tactical arrangement was arranged in advance by our coach Jiang, and I just followed the orders of coach Jiang."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Shaoyu next to him. The reporter just found a reason and aimed the camera at Jiang Shaoyu.

In China, the audience watching the live interview was immediately excited.

[Wing God's number one fanboy is really you! 】

[Fred's interview routine praises Master, hahaha, I guessed it a long time ago]

[When he won the first place in the Anchor Ceremony, he was always inseparable from the Wing God, and said that he was taught by the Wing God, and he was indeed the number one brainless fan of the Wing God]

[God Wing said: This apprentice is really good~]

The reporter handed the microphone to Jiang Shaoyu: "Coach Jiang, how are you feeling now?"

Jiang Shaoyu looked calm: "I'm very happy."

Netizens: "??"

I can't see where you are happy, you are still indifferent!

The reporter changed the subject with a dry smile: "What is your goal when you lead your team to participate in this Asian Championships?"

Jiang Shaoyu said calmly: "Xiao Pei, Huahua, Chenchen, Xueyao, and Xiao Gui have no experience in participating in international competitions. Take them out for a walk and practice casually."

With just a little practice, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan will be 2:0.

Jiang Shaoyu's words can really make his opponent vomit blood.

The reporter asked with a smile: "Do you think this national team has any hope of winning the championship?"

Jiang Shaoyu said: "The group stage win was relatively smooth, but the Korean team's e-sports strength is very strong, we can't take it lightly, or face the next opponent with a sense of calm. My request to everyone is, no matter whether you win or lose, play every game well. Just one game."

Many domestic netizens heard this and agreed.

[God Wing is right, we won a few games in the group stage, so our mentality can’t be too floating! The Korean team is still very strong]

[Coach Jiang is so calm, he didn't get excited after winning 4 games in a row in the group stage!]

[God Wing is really a super rational person! 】

[With him leading the team, I believe that the players will not float, and the following games will be played well]

【Come on for the national team!】

After the interview with Coach Jiang, the reporter asked the other players a few simple questions, which made everyone show their faces in front of the domestic audience.

"Hua Ran, will you be nervous to participate in the Asian Championships for the first time?"

Hua Hua said: "I was a little nervous at first, but Brother Feng's command is very clear, so I'm not nervous anymore."

"Xueyao did a good job of stealing the house a few times in the blasting mode today. Is it your temporary rise, or is it a pre-arranged tactic?"

Qin Xueyao blushed a little and said seriously: "Of course I practiced in advance. I am very grateful to Coach Jiang for his trust in me. I was very nervous at the time, and it was all because of my teammates for good protection."

Shu Chenshe was afraid of an attack, and stammered: "I, I'm very happy to win the Japanese team, everyone continue to work hard."

Shi Xiaobin said: "They played very well today. If it's my turn to play later, I will do my best!"

The interview video, which was sent back to China by a team reporter sent by the league, was repeatedly forwarded and disseminated online.

Netizens also got excited and left messages to cheer for the players.

Jiang Shaoyu's Weibo followers increased by millions in just one day. His calm and rational attitude during interviews really attracted fans. What's more, Pei Feng said that all these tactics are the layout of Coach Jiang, and everyone loves and admires him even more - the Huaguo team has such a head coach, the future is really promising!

After returning that night, Jiang Shaoyu called the team members to his room and held a meeting for review.

This match against Japan is almost a crushing game, and there is no need to seriously review the game. He wants to focus on the review of the Group A group stage, a few games between South Korea and Singapore.

Jiang Shaoyu opened his laptop and whispered, "The first place in Group A is South Korea, and the second place is Singapore. In the next knockout round, we will meet the second place in Group A, and we will play against Singapore tomorrow night."

Fortunately, Huaguo entered the semi-finals as the first in Group B, and did not need to encounter South Korea in advance.

Japan is miserable. The second group B will play the first group A. Tomorrow night is the Japan-South Korea duel. With the high probability of Japan's e-sports level, it will be ruthlessly eliminated by South Korea. It is still unknown whether it will be able to win the prize this year.

As long as Hua Guo wins Singapore tomorrow, at least he can enter the finals, get the runner-up or even the championship.

Jiang Shaoyu always felt that this year's grouping was a bit strange. The strength of Group A and Group B were not evenly balanced. Perhaps, the organizers regarded Hua Guo as a cannon fodder, thinking that Japan would be the first to qualify for the group and avoid South Korea in the next stage. In the finals, take the runner-up.

As a result, the Huaguo team suddenly became the biggest dark horse in Group B, completely overturning the wishful thinking of the Japanese team.

Jiang Shaoyu opened the video of Singapore's match in Group A and analyzed it while playing: "The Singapore team is very young, the average age of the players is less than 18 years old. , they are better at the quick game in the bloody battle mode, and the front row charge and assaulters are good, and they win by quickly breaking through the enemy's defense line and breaking up the enemy's formation."

Chang added: "In their three home games in the group stage, the mode they chose is all bloody battle mode. The maps include the deep jungle, the fountain square, and the corridor - all maps suitable for melee play."

In the depths of the jungle, the classic open terrain scramble map, although a large number of trees can be used as bunkers, but if the charge and the assault ranger shoot, it is difficult for the sniper to have room to play. And this picture is suitable for bombing with grenades, and the style of play is bloody and violent.

Fountain Square is also the most simple and rude melee gun battle map in the game. The fountain in the middle can be pressed directly over it. There are only 4 pillars around the map that can be used for hiding, and there are no high-level sniping points.

Needless to say, the loop corridor is also used by the Huaguo team, and it is the fastest encounter map. If the Assaulters and Chargers are strong, choosing this melee encounter map will be very advantageous. The strongest players in the Huaguo team were actually Zhou Yiran and Xia Li, the two attackers. Unfortunately, the two attackers did not come to the Asian Championships.

Hearing this, Pei Feng concluded in a low voice: "That is to say, Singapore's home court has always chosen the combination of bloody fast game + melee map?"

Jiang Shaoyu said: "Yes. They are relatively strong at home, and it is easy to lose away."

Lao Chang said with a smile: "Singapore's plot progress in India and Thailand in the group stage is almost the same. They both won one game at home, lost one game away, won another game in the tiebreaker, and won 2:1. Lost 0:2... by the way, so it seems that Singapore has a high winning rate in the tiebreaker?"

Singapore vs Thailand and India both drew 1:1 and won the tiebreaker.

Jiang Shaoyu nodded and said, "The knockout round at the start of the semi-finals is a BO5 format, and there are 5 maps to play. Both sides have 2 maps at home, and the tiebreaker is still randomly selected. We try to avoid dragging them into the tiebreaker."

The group stage is BO3, best of three games, and a maximum of 3 maps.

In order to reduce the impact of unexpected factors, the knockout round became a BO5, with three best of five games and a maximum of five maps.

If the Huaguo team is strong enough, they can win 3 maps in a row and win 3:0.

However, Singapore is the leader of e-sports in Southeast Asia. There are millions of players who follow e-sports, there are professional e-sports leagues, and domestic events are also booming. Its strength in the field of e-sports in Asia has always been good.

In the history of the Asian Championships, South Korea has won the championship for five consecutive years, and Singapore has won two second runner-up and three third runner-up, and its strength is very strong. Moreover, there are a large number of Chinese and ethnic Chinese in Singapore. Their head coach, Zhang Yuqing, is from China. Even among the contestants this year, some immigrated from China, and they must have a deeper understanding of China than other countries.

It's not easy to win 3-0, but try not to drag it into the tiebreaker.

Jiang Shaoyu said calmly: "Don't be careless in the next semi-final, I have a more risky idea."

Everyone looked at him in unison and pricked up their ears earnestly.

Jiang Shaoyu said: "If they randomly go to Singapore's home game in the first game, they will most likely choose the melee gun map, but don't play the kid, let Xiaobin play and try Xiaobin's attacking style. Wait for our home game, I will I will let Xiao Gui replace Xiao Bin and go to the double sniper lineup."

He paused and said in a low voice: "Every game, the coach has the right to make two substitutions. We must make good use of this rule and disrupt their rhythm by making substitutions. After the kid comes on the court, they will most likely be banned. We lose all snipers, but we can double snipers and fight fast guerrilla warfare.”

Pei Feng and Gui Siyang nodded at the same time.

In the fast guerrilla battle of the double snipers, their master and apprentice often cooperated when they were in the Korean double row before.

In the blasting mode, they can cover each other, set up guns to guard points, and assist teammates to place bombs; in the bloody battle and extreme modes, they can also join forces to kill quickly and establish an advantage for themselves.

Even if the whole map is Banned, other maps can also play guerrilla.

Jiang Shaoyu followed closely: "We have too few people in this Asian Championships, and there are not many people who can be replaced. Shi Xiaobin, Shu Chen and Gui Siyang, the three of you are ready to rotate at any time. Tomorrow will be all day. , I will let the sparring team accompany you to practice, in addition, Lao Lin and Xiao Zhou will not play tomorrow, and they will also come to be sparring for you."

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened.

Lao Lin and Zhou Zhou? The strongest domestic stormtroopers and assaulters, come to be their sparring trainers in person?!

This is to imitate Singapore's melee-based play, right?

Not long ago, Jiang Shaoyu sent a message to Lao Lin and Zhou Yiran: "After lunch tomorrow, I will be free from 2:00 noon to 7:00 pm to be a sparring partner for Xiao Pei and the others, is there any problem?"

The two quickly replied: "No problem!"

"Very happy to!"

Coach Jiang spoke, who would dare not come?

Besides, they were already anxious enough not to be able to participate in the Asian Championships. Of course, they would be happy to help.

Jiang Shaoyu then carefully arranged the tactics for the next game, and started a man-machine battle on the computer, and personally gave a demonstration to everyone.

At this time, in the room of the head coach of the South Korean team, Han Changhao, the players were gathering to review the game.

——What they are reviewing is not the opponent Japan in the next game, but the game of the first-place Huaguo team in Group B.

Coach Han said: "You don't need to spend too much effort on the Japanese team, you can win by playing normally. What's more critical is Huaguo. I didn't expect that Huaguo would become the biggest dark horse in this Asian Championships, and won the B group. grades out.”

He looked at the assistant coach next to him and said, "Tell everyone about their head coach."

The assistant coach has asked the information center of the Korean national team to find Jiang Shaoyu's information as quickly as possible. Hearing this, he immediately turned on his mobile phone and introduced seriously: "The head coach of the Huaguo team is named Jiang Shaoyu. He used to play the game. The ID is ACE-Wing, the captain of the ACE team."

"In the S3 season, he led the ACE team from the secondary league all the way to the finals, and won the championship of the China A League. However, after winning the championship, he suddenly announced his retirement and disappeared for many years. This year, The Huaguo Gun King Professional League invited him back and took over as the national team coach."

The captain of the Korean youth training team, Zheng Zhiyu, frowned and said doubtfully: "Retire after winning the championship? Is it too old?"

The assistant coach said: "No. He was only 18 years old when he won the championship, and he is only 24 years old this year. He is the youngest national team coach in the world."

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other.

Zheng Zhiyu couldn't help scratching his head: "18 years old is the best time, why retire?"

The assistant shrugged: "We can't find out the reason for his retirement. There seem to be many mysteries about this person."

Coach Han interrupted the gossip about Wing and said, "We don't need to care why he retired back then. The important thing is now, what did he do after he took over as the national team coach?"

The assistant said: "He has completely changed the way the national team is selected. The players Fred, Flower and Xiaogui of this Asian Championship are the top three in the Rising Star Cup Grand Prix he held, and they have no competition experience; Time is the last one. Charger of the national team; Chen, a former player of ACE, a backup medical doctor of TNG Club in China; Snow is from the secondary league, and his popularity in China is also very low."

The more people listened, the more confused they became.

Zheng Zhiyu whispered: "Sounds like choosing a motley army?"

Coach Han rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "How can a team composed of a group of strange people be able to win a complete victory in Group B? It seems that those countries in Group B do not investigate and understand, and do not pay attention to China. The country suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy, and this allowed the Huaguo team to take advantage of it."

Everyone nodded in agreement. There are 5 players in the Huaguo team this year who don't know each other. In addition, the head coach has changed. Those countries in Group B didn't pay attention to the Huaguo team at first, so they were beaten by the Huaguo team.

But Korea is different.

They have ample time to review, summarize and investigate.

Coach Han said with a smile: "Anyway, Huaguo's e-sports level is far worse than our South Korea. I hope they will win Singapore in the next game, and they will meet us in the final. With the attitude of playing in the World Series, let them see the strength of our Korean team.”

Everyone nodded excitedly: "Yes, coach!"

In the room of Singapore head coach Zhang Yuqing, the players are also seriously studying the Huaguo team.

Coach Zhang is of Chinese descent and speaks very good Chinese. It's just that the previous Huaguo team performed in the World Championships, and he was too lazy to pay attention to it, but this time is different. As early as when the Huaguo team changed the head coach, he has been paying attention to the domestic and foreign countries of Huaguo. Case.

He knew that Fred was a very popular anchor, and he also knew that Hua Hua and Xiao Gui were admitted to the national youth training camp in the Nova Cup. He was not familiar with Qin Xueyao and Shu Chen, but after a few games in the group stage, he probably knew the situation of these players.

Coach Zhang said earnestly: "To play against Huaguo tomorrow, everyone must do their best, and don't be sloppy. The current Huaguo team is no longer the rookie in our impression. Group B despised their team, what's the end? ? 0:2 in 4 consecutive games, and the collective was shaved."

The team of Group B collectively overturned the car in the hands of Hua Guo, which was indeed unexpected. The Huaguo team has also been obscure from the very beginning and has become the focus of major coaches.

Coach Zhang said: "Huaguo's main output is two snipers, and the blasting mode is very strong. Once they choose the blasting mode at home, they must keep an eye on Qin Xueyao. The reconnaissance pays attention to the method of 1-1 to defend to prevent her from stealing. Home. The double sniper lineup is not easy to solve, don't delay it, make a quick decision, and kill their snipers."

"If it's our home court, we'll still break through their line of defense according to the style of melee violence. The weakness of snipers is melee combat. We are strong in melee combat. As long as we don't let them kite, we're not afraid of their double sniper lineup. They are in the double medical lineup and give priority to killing medical."

"As for the game map..."

Time passed minute by minute, and the teams eliminated from the group stage could prepare their flight tickets back home. For the teams entering the semi-finals, the coaches are nervously arranging tomorrow's tactics.

Jiang Shaoyu held the meeting until 2:30 in the morning.

He seldom stayed up late, but the competition was imminent and the players were in high spirits. He simply completed all the tactical layouts, and he could free up the time tomorrow for practice matches.

At noon the next day, Jiang Shaoyu woke up and ate with the team members.

The meals that Pei Feng ordered were very delicious. The owner of the restaurant delivered meals on time every day. After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they were motivated. They opened their laptops in the dormitory and connected their keyboards and mice.

The Japanese organizers do not provide them with a training venue. Fortunately, they bring their own gaming laptops, keyboards and mice. As long as they are connected to the Internet, they can practice at any time.

Japan and China are playing cross-border practice matches, and everyone can only log in to the international server.

After Pei Feng logged into the international server, looking at the red network delay in the upper right corner, he couldn't help but said, "Master, the internet speed of this hotel is not stable. And tonight is the semi-final, I guess South Korea, Singapore and Japan will be here at this time. of players are also running the game, taking up the data of the hotel Wifi.”

Jiang Shaoyu was very helpless when he saw them playing the game despite the network delay. He simply said, "Don't worry about winning or losing, just practice tactics. On the side of the training team, Lao Lin is in charge of commanding and using the strongest firepower."

Lao Lin typed: "Received!"

Both sides enter the custom match room.

The sparring team includes Lao Lin, the strongest charge in the country, Xiao Zhou, the commander, Xiao Ye, who is lurking and assassinating everywhere, and Yu Feng, the Snow Leopard sniper who is not inferior to the kid, plus the annoying network delay...

The practice match was lost without a doubt.

Several players were obviously a little frustrated, but Pei Feng quickly adjusted and said with a smile: "Singapore's charge is far worse than our Lao Lin! We can't beat the charge lineup led by Lao Lin and Xiao Zhou. If we play Singapore, it will be lower. A lot of difficulty."

Jiang Shaoyu wanted to say something to comfort him, but seeing Pei Feng's calm look, he took it back again.

He glanced at the record and the video of the game and said, "Adjust our positioning, don't be too aggressive when playing against Singapore, we use a more conservative defensive and counterattack strategy."

Sometimes you have to take a breath in a game, and it will be difficult to organize an offense if you take that breath away.

Through the practice match just now, Jiang Shaoyu found that the front row of the Huaguo team was indeed very weak. Lao Lin and Xiao Zhou joined forces to press forward, and they could break through the defense of Hua Hua and Shi Xiaobin almost instantly. Qin Xueyao did not have the ability to defend. Instead of being instantly rushed by the other party to break them up, it is better to let them come.

Pei Feng said with understanding: "Luring the enemy to go deep?"

Jiang Shaoyu said: "That's right. Show the enemy's weakness and lure the enemy to go deeper. Let them charge, and you will fight back after the first wave."

Pei Feng sat up straight: "Okay, try it out."

In the second practice game, although Pei Feng was facing the network delay, he played with the training team led by Lao Lin, and he played back and forth. Huahua and Qin Xueyao also gradually regained their confidence and became more enthusiastic as they fought.

A whole afternoon of practice games, repeated experiments with the lineup.

At the end, Lao Lin typed and said, "Come on, you will definitely win!"

Zhou Yiran also said: "Come on everyone, I'm watching the game in China."

Looking at the cheering screen of the sparring team, several people also typed and replied: "We will cheer!"

The sparring team members were not allowed to play, especially Lao Lin and Zhou Zhou. They also had a game tomorrow, but they took the time to patiently accompany the national team players to repeatedly experiment with the lineup...

The six of them are playing in Japan. Behind them, there are a lot of teammates' support!

At 7 p.m., the semi-finals of the sixth Asian Championships officially started.

The first match today is Japan and South Korea.

The audience at the scene cheered the Japanese team enthusiastically. Unfortunately, the e-sports strengths of Japan and South Korea are too far apart. After the Japanese team was shaved by Huaguo 2:0, they were beaten by South Korea in the BO5 competition system of the knockout round, 3:0. shaved head.

The players of the Japanese team walked down the big stage with a sad face.

The audience unceremoniously erupted in boos, and some even shouted in Japanese to refund their ticket money!

South Korea locked in the finals ahead of schedule.

However, the South Korean team did not leave the game, but the coaches and players sat in the auditorium collectively, wanting to watch this match between Singapore and Huaguo-because the winner of this match will be their opponent in the finals.

At 21:00 on Saturday night, the semi-final between China and Singapore officially started.

The online viewing volume of the domestic "Asian Championship Live Room" instantly exceeded 10 million. Many local tyrants fans gave the official rockets to cheer for the Huaguo team. .

At the scene of the game, the players and head coach of the Huaguo team went to the soundproof room in their uniforms.

Pei Feng still smiled and didn't look nervous at all.

Jiang Shaoyu always looked cold and could not see his emotions. He still held the black book in his hand.

At 21:30, the semi-finals officially started.

The system draws lots. In the first game, Singapore is drawn to the home field, and the mode and map are selected first.

The mode selected by Coach Zhang is: Endless Bloody Battle.

——As expected by Jiang Shaoyu.
