On August 15, the new version of "Gun King" was updated globally, and a new map of the blasting mode was launched - Botanical Garden, Qingyang Airport and Disneyland Ruins.
And launched a new weapon, submachine | gun PP2000 series [Note].
Weapons will be very cautious in shooting games. The official R&D team will conduct a detailed analysis of the weapon data every time a new weapon is launched, so as not to introduce too powerful weapons that are too buggy and break the balance of the arena.
The PP2000 submachine gun prototype launched this time comes from Russia. The special thing about this gun is that there are two kinds of magazines that can be replaced, one is a small magazine with 20 rounds of bullets, and the other is a large magazine with 44 rounds.
There is an additional butt on the gun body, remove the butt and install a small magazine with 20 rounds of bullets, you can shoot with one hand like a hand gun; and when using a 44-round magazine, it is the same as ordinary The submachine | gun is similar, and can cause a wide range of fire suppression.
This gun is equivalent to a "mother gun". The advantage is that the style of play is very flexible, and the large and small magazines can be switched at any time; the disadvantage is that the firepower is not as fierce as the traditional submachine gun.
After the game version was updated, Jiang Shaoyu personally took Pei Feng to the shooting training ground to try out the new weapon. The master and the apprentice were 1v1, and they fought a few times with the new weapon. Jiang Shaoyu soon found out—
This gun is very suitable for Xiao Pei!
Xiao Pei was originally a free man's style of play, whether he held a submachine|gun fiercely to suppress or picked up a hand|gun to shoot quickly, his marksmanship was very accurate. This "switchable firearm" can exert the greatest power in Pei Feng's hands, which is equivalent to giving Pei Feng an extra weapon slot, changing from 3 weapons to 4 weapons.
Jiang Shaoyu said to Pei Feng: "You have mastered all other weapons. This new weapon will be used for practice next. When you need to play the charge position, you can bring it on the field."
Pei Feng smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will train the new weapon as soon as possible!"
On the night of the version update, Jiang Shaoyu called Qin Bo and Lao Chang for a meeting, and asked them to do the modeling and path analysis of the new map as soon as possible, and add the new map to their daily practice.
Qin Bo and Lao Chang worked overtime overnight, and they finished analyzing the new map in two days.
Jiang Shaoyu convened all members of the national team for online training. He sent a message in the national team's Q group: "National uniform, free practice field 7341, password 7785, everyone come in and get familiar with the new map together."
Everyone logged into the room one after another. Ever since Ye Ye was late and ordered to write a review by Jiang Shaoyu, no one dared to be late for every training session. Coach Jiang said that it was 8 o'clock, and by 7:50 in the evening, all the staff had already arrived.
Jiang Shaoyu said: "A group of 4 people will follow me through the map, and the first one will be passed first."
The first new map "Botanical Garden" is a medium-sized map. The distance between the two blasting points is relatively close. Point A is the greenhouse flower area, and point B is the open cactus area. There is no hiding place in the flower area, which is suitable for sprinting or defending players with strong firepower such as charge and assault; the cactus area has a large number of dense and tall tree-like cacti to hide.
The terrain in this picture is not complicated. The difficulty lies in the fact that point A and point B are completely two types of play. Which side to attack and which side to defend during the game is a great test for the commander's ability to adapt.
The second picture of Qingyang Airport is also a medium-sized map. There are two blasting points, the terminal building and the apron. It is a three-dimensional double-layer map. The apron has a wide field of vision, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack; the internal passages of the terminal building are complicated, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.
The first Disneyland ruins is a large-scale blasting map made after the real Disneyland. The distance between the two blasting points is very far. Luck is also very important to play such a large map. Choose one of A and B. If you happen to be staggered with your opponent, the bandits will easily win, and the police will lose the game because they are too late to support.
Everyone followed the coach through the map together, how to take the fork in the road, how many places to hide, which is the best shortcut to the blasting point... Jiang Shaoyu led the national team "tour group" to dig through the map for details. Let everyone play hide-and-seek games in groups and deepen their impression of the map.
The 4 hours of online training were all about new maps, and the players also had a general impression of the new maps. Jiang Shaoyu handed over the lineup on these maps to the tactical team for analysis and discussion.
***
The next afternoon, Jiang Shaoyu was reading documents in the office when team leader Yu Mingxiang suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
Jiang Shaoyu wondered, "Sister Yu, what's the matter?"
Yu Mingxiang sent him a WeChat ID and said, "The team leader in Singapore found me and said that he wanted to make an appointment with the Huaguo team for a practice match. I don't know if you agree or not. Let me ask you. This is their coach's contact information. You can always add him if you want."
Jiang Shaoyu was slightly startled: "Singapore?"
He searched his memory and quickly remembered that the coach in Singapore was named Zhang Yuqing, who was of Chinese descent. At that time, in the semi-finals of the Asian Championships, after the Huaguo team defeated Singapore 3:1, the opponent also took the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Shaoyu to express congratulations.
Singapore's performance in the World Series is mediocre, but it still has some influence in the Asian region. In this Asian Championships, they finally won the third place. Netizens in Singapore should be satisfied with this result? Therefore, Singapore's coach Zhang is not too hostile to Jiang Shaoyu, and he also took the initiative to make an appointment for a practice match.
Formal practice matches are what the players need most.
In team practice, everyone knows each other too much, just like left and right fighting each other, often covering up a lot of shortcomings. Only in the external practice game, when all players play it as an official game, can we see the problem of team cooperation.
Jiang Shaoyu had thought about finding some countries for a practice match for a while. Unexpectedly, Singapore came first, which was exactly what he wanted.
Jiang Shaoyu immediately picked up his phone and sent a verification message over, adding the other party's friend. The other party quickly sent a handshake emoji, saying, "Hello Coach Jiang, are you busy training recently?"
Jiang Shaoyu: "Well. I heard from our team leader, do you want to make an appointment for a practice match?"
Coach Zhang has been coaching for many years, and he is 6 years older than Jiang Shaoyu. Jiang Shaoyu's attitude is very polite, and he is not arrogant because the Huaguo team won the Asian Championships.
Coach Zhang typed: "Yes. Our national team is training recently, and we want to make an appointment for a formal practice match, so that the players can find out the problem of cooperation."
Jiang Shaoyu asked, "Why did you come up with our Huaguo team for a practice match?"
Coach Zhang said bluntly: "There is no pressure to communicate in Chinese, haha."
Jiang Shaoyu: "..."
This reason is indeed irrefutable.
Coach Zhang added: "Moreover, the Huaguo team's performance in the Asian Championships is obvious to all. We can learn from it by playing a few practice matches with strong teams."
This coach is relatively modest, and he was probably convinced by Jiang Shaoyu.
He said at the time, "Looking forward to your performance in the World Series". Obviously, he has seen Jiang Shaoyu's greatness and believes that the Huaguo team can achieve good results in the World Series.
It is very rare to get the recognition of the opponent.
In the past, the Huaguo team couldn’t find someone for a practice match, because others would think that you were too weak, and playing practice matches with the rookie team would not help you improve yourself. But it is different now. The Huaguo team played a good role in the Asian Championships and won the championship. Some people will take the initiative to come to the door to learn from each other.
E-sports players have a strong mentality. As long as you are strong enough, you will naturally be respected by your opponents.
Jiang Shaoyu glanced at the schedule and said, "How about 8 o'clock this Tuesday evening?"
Coach Zhang agreed immediately: "No problem! What about the format of the game?"
Jiang Shaoyu said: "Play a BO3, put Ban on the map, you can choose any mode you want."
Coach Zhang: "Okay! I'll go back and make arrangements. See you at 8 o'clock on Tuesday night."
After the conversation ended, Yu Mingxiang looked at Jiang Shaoyu's calm face and couldn't help but sigh, "This is the first time that a team from another country has taken the initiative to ask us for a practice match!"
Jiang Shaoyu's lips lifted lightly: "We won the Asian Championships. I believe that there will be more teams looking for us to play practice games in the future. Sister Yu is very busy."
Yu Mingxiang is the team leader of the national team, and you can find her first for any chores. If you want Jiang Shaoyu's contact information, you have to ask the team leader.
Within two days, someone came to add her as a friend and wanted her to tell Coach Jiang to make an appointment for some practice matches. There are also advertisers who came to the door and said that they would sponsor the national team and asked her to ask Coach Jiang's opinion...
Yu Mingxiang suddenly became "Jiang Shaoyu's manager and the speaker" and was very busy.
But she was also very busy and happy. The busier the team leader, the better the national team's performance and the more attention she received!
On Sunday afternoon, Yu Mingxiang knocked on Jiang Shaoyu's door and said with a big smile, "Ayu, you really expected things to happen. Another team is looking for us. The coach from Malaysia wants to make an appointment with us for a practice match!"
Jiang Shaoyu took the phone and added the coach as a friend.
The other party can also speak Chinese, and respectfully said: "Hello, Coach Jiang, I'm KiKi, the head coach of the Malaysian national team. I want to make an appointment with the Huaguo team for a practice match. When is it convenient for you?"
Jiang Shaoyu said: "Friday. How about playing in BO3 and only playing the blast mode, how about practicing the new map?"
KIKI: "Great, I'll go back and make arrangements!"
**
Within two days, Yu Mingxiang knocked on Jiang Shaoyu's door again.
This time, without her opening her mouth, Jiang Shaoyu knew her intentions: "Is there another practice match?"
Yu Mingxiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This time it was Thailand and Vietnam. They came to me on the same day. I always felt like they had an appointment."
Jiang Shaoyu said indifferently: "Sister Yu, have you ever thought that these coaches have a private group? They first sent coaches from Singapore to test me, and found that I was good at talking, so they came one by one."
Yu Mingxiang was stunned for a moment: "You mean, the coaches of these national teams have a private group to make appointments for training games? After they discussed in the group, they came to our Huaguo team?"
Jiang Shaoyu said: "Well. There are groups in Europe and the United States. When I was in California, I heard that the US team often played practice games with national teams such as the United Kingdom and Germany, and their players were very familiar with each other. Since there are practice games in Europe and the United States. Qun, it doesn't make sense, there is no Asia, right?"
He paused and pointed out the key point: "It's just that in the past, the Huaguo team was too good, and they didn't participate in the Asian Championships. They just didn't play with us."
Yu Mingxiang: "..."
Ah Yu is really sharp-eyed, seeing through the small movements behind these coaches. They must have sneaked off the group. After discussing whether to play a practice match with the Huaguo team, they came to her one by one after the discussion. Her contact information must have been shared in the group.
Otherwise, why are they looking for them one after another, with similar rhetoric
Yu Mingxiang was in a complicated mood. In the past, the Huaguo team had no one to care about, but now it is better, and it has become a sweet pastry in the queues of various countries for practice matches. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Then what are you going to do? Are you all agreed?"
Jiang Shaoyu said: "In the World Championships, countries from all continents are likely to be divided into different groups. It is difficult for us to collide with countries such as Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia. It is not harmful to us to play practice games with them. Let's practice more."
Yu Mingxiang thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement: "It makes sense! Practice within the team doesn't seem to have that much effect. If you play externally, playing every game as an official game can also temper the mentality of the players?"
Jiang Shaoyu: "Yes."
He picked up his mobile phone, added coaches from Thailand and Vietnam, and said directly: "Why don't I create a group for training games, and bring in all the coaches who want to make an appointment for practice games, so that it will be convenient to make appointments at any time in the future."
Everyone: "… "
In fact, we have a private group.
Jiang Shaoyu's move mainly turned against customers, and he became the group leader of the new training group. He asked the coaches to pull people. In a blink of an eye, coaches from Asian countries such as Indonesia and India also joined in.
Many coaches in these countries can speak Chinese or English on a daily basis, and there is no obstacle to communication.
South Korea's new coach Cha Renjun didn't join the group. They always disdain to play with Asian rookie countries, and prefer to go to Europe and the United States for practice matches.
Pei Feng looked at the small group built by Master, and he really admired it in his heart - the group actually put a schedule of training matches, Huaguo vs Singapore on Tuesday, Huaguo vs Malaysia on Friday, and next Tuesday it is Huaguo vs Vietnam... Weekly Two practice matches, with a two-day break in between, is just right for adjustment and replay.
This kind of training arrangement is very compact, without too much pressure, and it perfectly staggers the domestic A-A competition days. Zhou Zhou and Lao Lin can also come to participate.
It seems that Jiang Shaoyu arranged it? Very beneficial to the Chinese national team!
How do you feel, Master is quietly pulling a group of mobs to give the national captain experience? :,,.
