For Love of the Game - Chapter 205
At the beginning of the quarter-finals, after each game, a reporter interview will be arranged, which is a good opportunity to let the world players understand the players. Song Xueyang attended with all the Fengyue team members.
As soon as they entered the interview room, the reporters applauded enthusiastically.
Fengyue defeated Team Sukura at 3:0 tonight. Shen Huai showed the different styles of Chinese assassins in three consecutive games. It can be said that the excitement of the game has interview points almost every minute.
“Excuse me, Wing, the three Assassin styles you use today come from three Assassin players in China, right? Is there any reason for you to do this?”
Shen Huai replied, “There is no special reason for using the three styles of play, the assassin profession has been ignored for a long time, and there are very few assassin players in the World Championships, I think professional players His style of play will become a benchmark and drive players in the game. The game between Fengyue and Sukura will definitely attract many players who love the assassin profession. I hope to take this opportunity to let everyone know about Chinese assassins. Like herring’s trap flow The Assassins and Luo’s wind-based control-flow Assassins are all very iconic domestic styles of play, and they are also thorny enemies on the field.”
He took the opportunity to briefly introduce Herring and Luo Lie to repay their kindness for teaching each other how to play.
The reporter listened patiently to his answer, “But why did you choose an unfamiliar style of play to participate in the game? Do you think KU’s strength is not as good as you?”
Shen Huai said lightly, “There are only professions that I am not familiar with, and there is no assassin style of play that I am not familiar with.”
The reporters first booed when they heard this, but soon felt that it might not be a big talk for Wing at all, so they applauded with admiration.
They asked Song Xueyang again, “Captain Song, why do you agree with Wing to use such a risky play? Do you believe in his strength?”
Song Xueyang picked up the microphone, “Of course I believe in Wing, he is an expert in assassins.”
He joked and said sternly, “Of course, as the captain, I also consider it from the perspective of the team. The overall level of the Maple Moon players has been relatively high, and the teamwork and individual play styles are also becoming more mature. , I was very confident that I could win this match with Sukura, so when Wing suggested that he wanted to play the game with a different style of play, I thought it was a good opportunity to let players all over the world know about Maple Moon, so I agreed.”
What he said was not polite at all, full of the pride of the winner, and the reporters continued to ask questions.
“Captain Song has great confidence in Fengyue, so what do you think Fengyue can do this year?”
At this moment, a word appeared in the hearts of everyone in Maple Moon – champion.
Song Xueyang smiled, “Champion.”
The Maple Moon team members became uneasy for a moment.
He actually said it, really said it! Damn it, if you don’t win the championship and you won’t be laughed to death, your face will be swollen if you talk too much! The flag stands too high, and it will kill people when it falls!
Facing the reporters’ scrutiny, they showed embarrassed but polite smiles.
Afterwards, the reporters interviewed other people, because Song Xueyang said that he would definitely win the championship, they can only brag about it, and put out all their advantages.
“I would like to ask Eleven, in the match against Vice Captain Yoshino, you dodged the blazing brilliance from his back, we all thought it was impossible to dodge from this angle, you How? Coincidence?”
Shi Yi pointed to his ears, “My hearing is very keen, and I can quickly judge the skills released by the enemy based on the sound, so although I didn’t see Yoshino at the time, I heard the sound. Knowing that he used Flaming Radiance.”
The reporters did not expect him to have this ability, and were very interested.
“So, your reflexes are better than others, right?”
“Well, it’s fine.”
“You also participated in the World Championship with the Xiaolang team before, but you did not show such ability at that time. Is it a skill you have only trained in recent years?”
“I did it when I was in Xiaolang, but I didn’t use it very well.”
“Which team do you think will help you more, Maple Moon or Xiaolang?”
“This can’t be compared to…” The increasingly acute question made Shi Yi couldn’t help sending a distress signal to Fan Jingming, “Fengyue and Xiaolang gave me different things at different stages of my life. I love Xiaolang, and I love my current team.”
The reporters seemed not satisfied with this formulaic answer, and wanted to ask again, Fan Jingming suddenly took the microphone, “I think Fengyue is more helpful to him, he came to Fengyue. The month is almost a centimeter taller this year!”
Shi Yi’s face turned red all of a sudden, he just broke through the 170 mark recently, if it wasn’t for Zhou Jing at the bottom, he would be the shortest in the team, but he never told Fan Jing Ming has grown taller.
The reporters looked at Fan Jingming, who was even taller than when he was sitting there. Thinking of the exaggerated height difference of the pair, they couldn’t help laughing.
“Ming and Eleven have a great relationship!”
“Because we’re partners.”
The topic was brought to Xiao Ming. Fan Jingming was a model and had a cheerful personality. He was very good at dealing with these reporters, which made Shi Yi secretly relieved.
Fan Jingming’s interview was almost done, and they turned their attention to Zhou Ning again.
Soldiers have also become feared by the enemy.
A Chinese reporter asked, “Ningshen, you didn’t play this way in China before, and you suddenly used full strength to add points in the wild card match. You can make extraordinary progress in such a short period of time. , everyone is surprised, it is very risky to change your style of play during the season, why would you change your style of play?”
Since the other party asked questions in Chinese, Zhou Ning also switched back to his native language, “The current style of play is more suitable for me than the previous style of play, I believe this is obvious to all, since it suits me, in the middle of the season Wouldn’t it be better to take it out and help me get more wins?”
“Then how did you come up with this style of play, Ningshen?”
Zhou Ning pulled away his smile and made a “shush” gesture, “It’s inconvenient to disclose it because someone has pointed it out.”
The reporter stopped asking questions, smiled and blessed, “I hope you have a smooth game and win the championship with the team.”
The personal interview came to an end, and the reporters asked about the next game.
“Fengyue has successfully advanced to the semi-finals after defeating Sukura today, and the next schedule has not yet been determined, but if Fengyue wants to win the championship, she will inevitably encounter Rider. Do you have confidence in defeating the Rider team? ?”
The Rider team just achieved three consecutive world championships last year. It is recognized by the world as the strongest team in the world.
Song Xueyang did not change his face, “Of course, Fengyue is not afraid of any team. However, we may not meet, right?”
Rider’s opponent in the first round of the quarterfinals was Xiaolang. This game, known as the finals level, attracted the attention of fans all over the world. The losing team will miss the quarterfinals. .
The Korean reporter’s eyes were filled with hostility when they saw Song Xueyang, and everyone in Fengyue raised their hearts.
It’s over, if you lose the game, this interview will be enough for the reporters to hack them for a year.
After the reporter’s interview, the people of Fengyue rushed to the scene of the game. The match between Xiaolang and Rider had already started. The big screen showed 1:0. Xiaolang had won the first game. 2V2 victory.
When he sat up straight, his eyes shone brightly.
Fan Jingming shook his hand, “Xiaolang will win.”
He nodded, and Guan He just flashed on the big screen. He whispered, “It has always been Guan’s dream to defeat Rider and win the world championship.”
His voice was quiet, but everyone listened carefully.
Blame him, we all know that he is good for the team. But only when he lost to the Rider team, he would not say anything, Tang said, because he thought the loss to Rider was his own reason, he would not because Blame others for your own problems.”
“Vice team Tang also said that the Guan family has always wanted him to retire. The reason why he insisted on it until now is to defeat Rider. I hope he can win.”
Zhou Ning lowered his head and looked at the screen again, he knew better than anyone that this was Guan He’s last chance.
The second game 1V1, at this time, the second fight has been carried out, Tang Wenlang VS Jin Chengjun.
Rider obviously changed the order of the 1V1 arena, allowing the ace Jin Chengjun to avoid the guarding Guan He, and to fight against Tang Wenlang next.
As the world’s No. 1 qigong master, Jin Chengjun is also known as the King of Solo in the ring. In terms of strength, he is on the same level as Guan He. Tang Wenlang is considered a top **** in China, but compared with these world-class god-level players, there is still a slight gap. In addition, the first fight An Lu lost with a 20% HP difference. Tang Wenlang’s fight was even more difficult. , and left half of his blood for Jin Chengjun when he finally ended up.
Guan He played against this almost irreparable gap.
“Oh, it’s too difficult to fight against the team. In fact, Night has worked hard to consume Spade’s blood, but Qigong masters have their own blood recovery and good endurance, so there is no way to do this. thing.”
The audience was ecstatic.
When Jin Chengjun came off the court, Guan He also lost half of his health, but he didn’t make a single big move, and this match with Jin Chengjun was equivalent to a draw.
Rider’s defender is Lee Seung Won.
Song Xueyang understood when he saw Li Shengyuan playing, “Rider did it on purpose, Captain Zheng wanted Li Shengyuan to defeat Guan He.”
Shen Huai frowned slightly, “Li Shengyuan is the second-ranked swordsman in the world, and he has been beaten by the closed team for several years. It seems that adjusting the order of appearances is just a cover, the real purpose is to let Li Shengyuan defeat Close the team.”
Haixing asked, “But even if Li Shengyuan wins two consecutive battles, he may not be able to get the title of the world’s number one swordsman. The official world ranking of “City of Despair” is not Has it always been fair?”
Shen Huai explained, “Although it may not be the world’s No. 1, it is at least an opportunity. No matter how bad it is, it is very important for Spade to maintain the world’s No. 1 Solo King. benefit.”
Starfish said indignantly, “This is too dark!”
Shi shook his head, “This is normal, improving the reputation and status of players while ensuring the team’s victory is a two-for-one thing for the team. And they also won through fair competition, Esports is not a one-man game.”
Zhou Ning’s expression was as usual, but his eyes were much deeper than usual.
Haixing said anxiously, “That team is not over, Li Shengyuan is the second-ranked swordsman in the world, and the team has only half of the blood left, so I can’t beat it!”
“Not necessarily,” Zhou Ning said suddenly, “He said, don’t be blinded by the difference in blood in front of you, the key is to see how many skills you have, how many skills the enemy has, and fight back when the enemy fights back. How much damage can he deal before. As long as both sides are there, he is full of blood.”
Everyone was silent.
Li Shengyuan probably thought that Guan He would lose, this game was very frantic, when he suppressed Guan He’s blood to 10%, he still had 60% of his blood, a huge advantage already won holding.
He directly hit “88” on the public screen, and then dashed in front of Dao Guan He with a move of “draw the sword out of the scabbard”, Guan He reacted very quickly, and at the same time as he shot He jumped behind him with a sword flash, and stunned him with a backhand sword.
Then he ramped up his hand speed, a set of combos followed by the Treading Wave Sword, and the three-stage repelling just kept Li Shengyuan under control.
Li Shengyuan wanted to counterattack after releasing the control state, but Guan He had already expected it, and he directly used the ultimate move Sword Dance and Setting Sun to successfully avoid his skills, a set of stormy counterattacks thrilling Counter-kill, won the second victory for Xiaolang.
The Chinese audience was excited, and Zhou Ning was relieved when he saw the word “victory” on the screen.
Xiaolang took the lead to enter the match point, but the next game was even more difficult, the Rider team turned the tide and won two 6v6 and one 2v2, with a score of 3:2 Defeat Xiaolang and advance to the semi-finals.
And the former world runner-up Xiaowolves stopped in the top eight in the S6 World Championship.
This news caused quite a stir in China, because Xiaolang was originally the team with the most hope to win the championship, and it was also the strongest of the three teams that entered the World Championship. Now Xiaolang even They didn’t make it to the top four, and the rest of Maple Moon and WG had little hope.
Even though Fengyue defeated Xiaolang in the group stage, netizens were not as optimistic about the sudden rise of Fengyue as the veteran team Xiaolang, and they were disappointed with Xiaolang and could not help but say nothing.
Zhou Ning used the bathroom as an excuse, ran out ahead of time and waited at the waiting area, and after a while, Guan He led the team back from the stage.
They didn’t say a word, the atmosphere was gloomy, and everyone’s face was filled with undisguised loss. It was obvious that they had never thought of stopping at the top eight.
Guan He saw Zhou Ning as soon as he looked up, he asked his teammates to go back first, and walked in front of Zhou Ning himself.
Zhou Ning looked at him and didn’t know what to say. He could see that Guan He tried his best, but the result was not satisfactory.
“Did you… tell them?”
Guan He said solemnly, “Let’s talk later.”
The two were silent for a moment, and Guan He suddenly asked, “Are you disappointed?”
Zhou Ning’s mixed heart was suddenly pulled together, he stepped forward and hugged Guan He, “No, you will always be my pride.”
“I’ll stay to watch you play,” Guan He patted his arm, “Come on, come to the end.”
Zhou Ning tightened his arms and nodded heavily.
The two didn’t chat for too long, Guan He had to lead the team for an interview, Zhou Ning washed his face before walking out, and Hai Xing was looking for him in a hurry.
“Brother Ning, you can figure it out! The result of the draw for the semi-finals is out!”
The match between Xiaolang and Rider is the last match of the quarterfinals. At this time, the teams that advance to the quarterfinals are Fengyue, Rider, ACK and WG.
Zhou Ning had a hunch, “Is it Rider?”
Starfish froze, “How do you know?!”
This is the reason why the so-called enemy’s road is narrow.
Zhou Ning smiled lightly, “I still don’t know the luck of the fox’s lottery?”
Starfish muttered, “What a stinky fox, he shouldn’t be allowed to draw lots.”
“So WG and ACK fight?”
“Well, ACK won the championship before Rider, WG is not good at this game, if we also lose… The finals will be a match between two Korean teams.”
“Oh, it’s not like what our stars would say.” Zhou Ning rubbed Haixing’s head, his eyes changed slightly, “The finals can also be a contest between two Chinese teams.”
Zheng Zhiyi led the players away from the exit passage. They just won the game and they didn’t look very happy. It seemed that victory was common to them, and defeat was unforgivable.
Shen Huai walked towards him by himself, and the eyes of everyone in Rider fell on him.
At this time, the opponents of the semi-finals have been decided, and they will be the enemies in the next game.
Zheng Zhiyi didn’t speak, and glanced coldly at Shen Huai, as if guessing his purpose.
The distance between them was getting shorter and shorter, and when they passed by, Shen Huai stopped and said in English, “How do you want to adjust the order of playing in the next game?”
Li Shengyuan stared, obviously feeling that Shen Huai’s words were mocking him.
Zheng Zhiyi squinted slightly, Jin Chengjun shrugged, “I don’t care, you want to fight, I’ll fight with you.”
“Then let’s meet first.” Shen Huai walked away after saying this.
Rider looked back at his back, Zheng Zhiyi asked, “Are you confident to beat him?”
Jin Chengjun yawned, “Almost.”
Speaking of which, last time Baozhen seemed to say that Snow invited her to join the team, and he had to check the strength of Fengyue himself.
Thinking this way, Jin Chengjun moved his stiff neck.
