The group stage of the sixth World Series officially ended on the evening of December 7, and the official website of the Gun King World League released this year's top 16 list.
upper half
Group A: USA, Indonesia
Group B: Australia, Japan
Group C: South Korea, New Zealand
Group D: France, Russia
lower half
Group E: Singapore, United Kingdom
Group F: China, Germany
Group G: Italy, Malaysia
Group H: Brazil, Vietnam
Most of the teams that made it to the final round were as expected, and the most surprising one was Group F.
At the beginning, the media of various countries were generally optimistic about the first place in Germany and the second place in Canada in Group F. Unexpectedly, the Huaguo team won three consecutive games in Group F, and finally the first place in the group qualified and became the strongest dark horse in this world championship.
According to the rules of the game, in the next knockout stage, the first group vs. the second group, the opponent of group F is group E, the next team Huaguo will face is the second place in group E: the British team.
After going back that night, Jiang Shaoyu struck while the iron was hot, made a detailed review of today's game, and then told the team members: "Everyone has worked hard after the group stage, go back to rest tonight, and we will arrange the next game tomorrow. Contest."
In fact, Jiang Shaoyu was not worried about fighting the UK.
After all, Singapore in Group E has beaten the United Kingdom, but Huaguo can easily beat Singapore in the usual practice matches.
Coaches from several countries in Asia set up a group to play practice matches with the Huaguo team. Under Jiang Shaoyu's "abuse", their level has improved by leaps and bounds. They have performed well in this World Championship, and several teams have entered the top 16. . The first place in Group E of Singapore qualified for the tournament, which was also expected by Jiang Shaoyu.
The overall strength of the British team is not as good as that of the German team. Although they are a European team, because the head coach is a retired Canadian player, their style is more similar to that of Canada.
When China vs Canada, Jiang Shaoyu let Liu Shaozhou play and replaced Pei Feng. Pei Feng sat in the audience and watched the entire game, and knew Canada's style and rhythm well. Therefore, in the next match against England, Jiang Shaoyu will ask Pei Feng to command, and he has confidence in his apprentice.
After returning that night, Pei Feng turned on his phone and sent a voice message to Master: "Master, last time I watched Canada's game and found that their two snipers would cooperate with each other. We can win the map of Neverland. Rely on Xueyao to move the team back and forth and walk them to fight. The two British snipers are more powerful than the Canadian ones, does Master have any special tactics?"
Jiang Shaoyu just finished taking a shower, when he heard a low voice coming from his mobile phone, he was stunned and replied, "Aren't you sleeping yet?"
Pei Feng sent the familiar tilde: "Can't sleep~~"
If you can't fall asleep, you drag Master to chat? Jiang Shaoyu felt a little helpless in his heart, but he couldn't directly drive him to sleep, so he chatted casually: "The British team's snipers are slightly stronger than Canada's, but the overall strength of the British team is not as good as Canada's, we can join the three-sniper lineup, It's easy to win by breaking their mentality."
Pei Feng asked, "I can't use my freeman style for the time being?"
Jiang Shaoyu said, "Well, there's no need to expose it too early, let's keep it to deal with South Korea."
Pei Feng: "Received!"
Pei Feng: "Master, go to bed early, good night~"
Jiang Shaoyu replied, "Good night."
During this time, the coaching staff often stayed up late to discuss tactics, and Jiang Shaoyu's schedule was also a bit chaotic.
After the group stage, there will be a one-day off-season on December 8, and the first half of the first half of the 4 knockout matches of Groups A to D will be played on December 9. The next game of the Huaguo team is scheduled for December 11. 2 p.m. In other words, there are 2 days in between for them to rest and adjust.
Jiang Shaoyu went to bed early.
At 8 a.m. the next day, he got up to go to the restaurant for dinner, and Chairman Qi stopped him and said, "Ayu, the league sent me a message, saying that he wanted the team reporter to conduct a brief exclusive interview with Coach Jiang and talk about Huaguo. The team's next plans and goals. What time do you think is convenient?"
Jiang Shaoyu said: "At nine o'clock, let Reporter Yan come to my room to find me."
In the group stage, because the schedule is very tight, in order not to disturb the coaches and players, reporter Yan did not specifically interview everyone, but took some photos and videos and posted them in the e-sports section of the domestic website to let fans who follow the national team follow Take a look at your daily training status.
Now that the group stage is over, the Huaguo team has reached the top 16, and there is a two-day break. The attention of domestic netizens to the current national team has also reached the peak in recent years. A large number of netizens have asked the team reporters to interview Coach Jiang.
The alliance also pushed the boat along the way, and wanted Jiang Shaoyu to come out to meet the domestic audience and chat casually.
At 9:00 am, the interview officially started.
This interview was conducted in a synchronous live broadcast. The time in China was exactly 0:00 a.m., and there were a lot of netizens online. The official live broadcast room soon flooded into millions of onlookers, and the barrage filled the screen.
[Coach Jiang, what are you doing!]
[Our coach Jiang is an Omega, those who are casual, don't be hooligans~]
[Although Wing's face is very serious, if I hug him across the screen, he won't be able to hit me, right?]
[Family brothers and sisters come to report quickly!]
[Live interview, our head coach really has a line~]
[Finally, there is a domestic reporter interviewing, listening to the English translation is so tiring!]
[Is this background the residence of Coach Jiang? Is the hotel environment OK?]
Because he was going to be interviewed, Jiang Shaoyu deliberately changed into trousers and a shirt, looking very strict. He was sitting on the sofa in the hotel, his long legs bent naturally, and a cup of coffee was made on the coffee table next to him. If the title of the live broadcast room hadn't read "National Team Interview Live", people who clicked in would have thought it was a celebrity interview.
Among most coaches who are over 30 years old, out of shape and with fat faces, the young and handsome Jiang Shaoyu is indeed very eye-catching.
The photographer adjusted the lights, and Reporter Yan asked with a smile: "Thank you Coach Jiang for taking the time to accept this interview. The Huaguo team has now qualified for the group. There are many domestic audiences who are very concerned about your next plan, so you can have a brief chat with us. chat?"
Jiang Shaoyu nodded and said, "No problem."
Reporter Yan said: "Huaguo's historical achievements in recent years, the best is that the first and third World Championships have reached the top 16, and the other groups were eliminated in the group stage. This year, they qualified for the group stage. , is already on par with the best record in history, are you confident to go further?"
Jiang Shaoyu said calmly: "Of course. I have great confidence in this national team. Our goal is not only to go further, but to break the curse of the Huaguo team's zero trophy in the World Series."
When the domestic audience heard this, they excitedly brushed the exclamation mark,
[Fuck, he wants to win the prize! !]
[Coach Jiang is so handsome! !]
[I just said how could it be enough to only enter the top 16?]
[If you win the award, you will have to place at least the third place. Can this national team really create a miracle?]
[Coach Jiang is awesome! You are the first coach who dares to say that the Huaguo team will win an award!]
[Wuwuwu if the Chinese national team really wins the award, even if it is a bronze medal, I am willing to be a vegetarian for a week!]
[The letter girl is willing to lose 30 pounds and ask the Huaguo team to come back with a trophy! !]
Of course, some netizens are worried
[Speaking big so early, what if you lose and get slapped in the face?]
[I think it's better to keep a low profile?]
[Coach Jiang, don't expose it so early, you will be targeted by the opponent!]
Low key
The Huaguo team counterattacked all the way, and qualified from Group F with three consecutive victories. The coaches of other national teams were not blind. He wanted to keep a low profile, but he couldn't keep a low profile.
I don't know how many national team coaches are staring at the Huaguo team.
Therefore, Jiang Shaoyu didn't bother to cover up, and spoke out his goal generously - our Huaguo team, this time is here to win the award!
If you want to stop the Huaguo team, you can do your best.
Reporter Yan was also surprised by Jiang Shaoyu's frankness. He was stunned for a moment before asking excitedly, "Win the award? So, Coach Jiang's goal is the semi-finals?"
Jiang Shaoyu: "Yes, we will work hard to achieve this goal."
Reporter Yan said excitedly: "There is another question. Domestic netizens are very curious. When the national team announced the roster, the main players and substitutes were not specified. In the previous group stage, several newcomers also played many times, so who exactly are the players? The main force, and which ones are the substitutes?"
Jiang Shaoyu said calmly: "In my heart, every player is the main force, and our national team has no substitutes."
Domestic netizens: "!!!"
Every one is the main force
So, does this national team have 11 main players? !
[Fuck, all the main force?]
[No wonder every player in the group stage was given a chance to play!]
[After finally going abroad to compete, if you sit on the bench from beginning to end, the players will be very sad, right?]
[Coach Jiang treats all players equally!]
[He is really good QAQ]
As a "substitute", Xia Li didn't have the chance to play at all last year, and Shi Xiaobin only played once. If the rules of the previous national team were followed, Xia Li, Qin Xueyao, Hua Ran, and Shi Xiaobin would definitely play this year. It is also a part of sitting on the bench as a "substitute".
However, Jiang Shaoyu broke the routine and made 11 people in the national team the main force.
No one is strong or weak, there is no main substitute, but everyone is placed in his most suitable position to play his own value in different lineups.
Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, discovering the potential of the players, and letting every capable player shine on the stage. Isn't that what a coach exists for
If the player is Maxima, the coach is Bole. No matter how strong Maxima is, it is useless if it does not meet Bole.
It is no wonder that the players of the national team have great respect for Coach Jiang. Players like Qin Xueyao and Mo Hantian can perform brilliantly on the stage of the World Championship, and they really have to thank Coach Jiang for their cultivation and reuse.
The live broadcast room was swiped by netizens, and the coach 666 filled the barrage.
The purpose of this interview is mainly to give domestic netizens a shot in the arm, so that everyone has more confidence in the national team.
Meanwhile, if the opponent saw this interview…
The Huaguo team has 11 main players, which are randomly arranged and combined, and the lineup is rich and varied. Just guess!
After three group matches, the mentality of the "gourd babies" that Jiang Shaoyu was most worried about had been tempered, including Princess Mo, who was the most vulnerable, and won the game crying.
In the next lineup, he can make more changes.
At this time, in the hotel room, Pei Feng also turned on his mobile phone to watch the live broadcast of this interview.
Jiang Shaoyu in the picture has clear and handsome features, his eyes are calm when he speaks, and he has the demeanor of a proper ascetic male god.
Master is definitely the most popular of all the coaches in the world, right
Pei Feng felt a little proud in his heart. It's a pity that gift brushing is prohibited in this live broadcast, otherwise, Pei Feng will definitely reach the top of the list.
His status as the "number one fanboy" cannot be shaken.
After the simple interview, it was just lunch time, and the players of the national team woke up one after another. After lunch, everyone consciously came to Coach Jiang's room to gather.
Jiang Shaoyu opened the form prepared in advance and briefly introduced the members of the British team, saying: "The British style is somewhat similar to that of Canada, and their focus will be on two snipers. Therefore, after the coaching staff discussed, they decided to send The lineup of 3 snipers directly knocked them down."
Liu Shaozhou, Mo Hantian, and Pei Feng glanced at each other. The three snipers of the Huaguo team had already played their respective roles in the group stage, and they were all commanders of different styles.
Other countries also know that the Huaguo team has 3 snipers.
But it's the first time for all three to go together!
Jiang Shaoyu looked at his apprentice calmly: "Commander Pei Feng. The map [Rainy Night], a five-star difficulty map, directly win the British team without delaying them."
Pei Feng smiled and nodded: "Understood!"
In the usual training, the five-star difficulty map that makes countless players die, Coach Jiang is finally going to use it!
