In this afternoon's game, all the members of the Longyin team watched the live broadcast. Everyone came to the captain's room to watch the game and discuss it with great interest. On the one hand, it was Silan's first time as a commentator and everyone was curious to hear him. What will they say; on the other hand, the winner of this game will be the opponent of Longyin team in the semi-finals. Through this game, they can understand the opponent's strength more comprehensively, so as to know themselves and their enemies.
Liu Chuan was not surprised that Luo Huaci won Xuelang, but what surprised Liu Chuan was that Lan Weiran actually took the initiative to take command of the second semi-final by sending a text message on the way back. For a lazy bug like Silan, it is too rare to take the initiative to take the initiative, so that when Liu Chuan received the text message, he thought he was dazzled and read it several times.
After confirming that the text message was correct, Liu Chuan smiled slightly, made an excuse to call Qin Ye out by himself, and handed him the phone: "What do you think?"
Qin Ye took a look at the phone and couldn't help frowning: "Silan wants to take full command?"
After the carnival ended, Qin Ye said directly to Liu Chuan: "Lan Weiran and Ye Chenxi have an unusual relationship. He is too dependent on this apprentice. If he encounters Luo Huaci in the playoffs, it is best not to let him direct. ." Liu Chuan's point of view at the time was: "I believe that Silan can handle it well, and Longyin is in Group B, so you don't have to worry about meeting Luo Huaci for the time being."
- Unexpectedly, after the double-elimination of Group B, Longyin inevitably encountered Luo Huaci in the semi-finals.
Now that the group stage is over, it will be a pure knockout match when it reaches the semi-finals, and will not give any team another chance. The match against Luo Huaci is either your death or my death. The pressure in the semi-finals will only be greater than in the previous group stage.
Lan Weiran sent a text message to take full command, but Qin Ye was still not at ease. He returned the phone to Liu Chuan, and said seriously, "Can't you take command? It's not that I don't trust Si Lan, I'm just worried that he will be caught in the past. The memory is misled, and the wrong judgment is made at the critical moment."
Qin Ye's worries are not unreasonable. After all, Silan had a relationship with Ye Chenxi when he was young, and his deep impression of his apprentice Ye Chenxi might cause him to misjudge the situation. is often fatal.
If Liu Chuan came to direct this match, he would definitely not have to consider the influence of this aspect. Qin Ye couldn't figure out why Liu Chuan had to command the four blues
Liu Chuan saw Qin Ye's doubts and explained, "When I brought Silan to the team, I told him that I would hand over the command to him if necessary. Ye Ye, you should remember that there are so many strong teams in the alliance. In the team, Lan Weiran is the only captain who has not won any trophies."
"..." Qin Ye was stunned, and finally understood what Liu Chuan was thinking.
"The name Lanlanlanlan has never been on the honor wall of the league. Even people who know him well know that he is very strong, but he is still short of a trophy to prove himself. I just want to give him an upright opportunity to prove himself, Let the new people who don't know him have a look - the strength of Silan is not blown out, he is qualified to stand at the top of the league."
Liu Chuan's tone was undeniably firm, and Qin Ye couldn't refute it for a while.
He is not the kind of captain who likes to be authoritarian. When necessary, he will delegate power to Qin Ye and Silan to perform. Therefore, the Longyin team will have three different styles of commanders. This is Liu Chuan's trust in his teammates and his trust in the team. Since he was so sure, what doubt did he have
"Then let Silan lead the semi-final." Qin Ye nodded decisively, dismissing the worries in his heart, and said, "I trust him with you."
"Yeah." Liu Chuan smiled, "Although I am the captain, you and Silan are no worse than me. I believe that both of you have the ability to lead the Longyin team well... I think Silan took the initiative to text me this time, there must be What new ideas, wait for him to come back and see how he arranges it."
***
Lan Weiran did have some new ideas. When he was sitting in the car, he thought about it for a long time. When he arrived at the hotel, he came directly to Liu Chuan's room and knocked on the door. Xiaoyu gallantly ran to open the door. The nine players of the Longyin team outside the snow had indeed arrived.
"There are so many people, is it in a meeting?" Lan Weiran walked into the room and asked.
"We're all waiting for you." Liu Chuan got up and gave him a seat, "Come and sit down, Silan is in full charge of this match, and everyone listens to your arrangement."
Lan Weiran said: "Including you? Captain?"
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Of course, I also listen to your arrangements."
- Full responsibility, this is equivalent to giving Lan Weiran the right to be the captain of the Longyin team. Who will be played, who will sit on the bench during the game, what map to choose, and how to command the scene, Lan Weiran has the final say, and even Liu Weiran has the final say. Chuan must obey his arrangements.
Liu Chuan's 100% trust made Lan Weiran feel a little moved and more confident.
He was originally a captain, and was familiar with tactics and lineup arrangements. He quickly took out a pen and paper, sat down on the sofa, glanced at several teammates, and said calmly: "After watching Luohua today For the Ci competition, I have an idea that needs everyone’s cooperation, first of all, let’s analyze Luo Hua Ci’s tactics in detail.”
"If Luo Huaci's lineup is a folding fan, then Ye Chenxi is the central axis of the folding fan, Lin Yufan unfolds the fan bones of the folding fan, and the other team members combine to form the fan surface. When the Xiaoyao Teleportation Array is opened, it is like opening This folding fan is normal, Ye Chenxi will be the first to act, Lin Yufan will cooperate with his action, these two will open all the fan bones, and the others will take their places and complete their cooperation."
"Ye Chenxi is the leader of the tactics, Lin Yufan is the executor, and the other players are the cooperators. This is the soul of the Luohuaci teleportation formation."
Lan Weiran's art skills made everyone almost kneel and worship. He drew a delicate folding fan with a brush. This tactical explanation with pictures and texts also made everyone understand the lineup of Luohuaci more deeply.
Xiaoyu couldn't help but said: "Deputy team, the fan you drew is really nice, can you give me this painting after you finish talking?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, Lan Weiran picked up the pen and tapped Xiaoyu on the head: "Listen well!"
Xiaoyu then obediently listened and did not speak.
Lan Weiran quickly wrote down a few names on the fan and introduced: "On the list of nine people in Luohuaci, Shaolin player Song Cheng and healer Liu Songlin are both must-haves in team battles, and there is a very young healer named Li Mu, a rookie that Ye Chenxi only started to cultivate this season, has played a few less important games in the regular season, and will definitely not play in the semifinals. The remaining six players are all Xiaoyao players, two from each of the three divisions. "
There are six Xiaoyao out of the nine players, which shows that the Luohuaci team has a preference for the Xiaoyao sect, which is also the fundamental and biggest feature of Luohuaci's founding team.
After Lan Weiran finished writing the list of nine people, he circled all six Xiaoyao with a pen, and continued: "Li Jun and Jiang Xiaotian from the Folding Fan Department, Ye Chenxi and Hu Bin from the Yuxiao Department, and Lin Yufan and Zheng from the Feather Fan Department. Ying, these six Xiaoyao players, except Ye Chenxi and Lin Yufan who are bound to appear, the other four have been in rotation. Xiaoyao's strongest lies in the combined strike skills, folding fan and Yuxiao, Yuxiao and feather fan, folding fan and Feather fans, the effects of two or two combined attacks are different. Therefore, although Luo Hua Ci seems to be all Xiaoyao players, the lineup is relatively simple, but in fact, the play style of Xiaoyao cooperation is very complicated. change."
This is also the reason why Luo Huaci formed the home spell. It is one aspect that the lineup is difficult to guess. The other aspect is that the combination of Xiaoyao sects is too unbelievable. The combination of the combined attack and the teleportation array can be perfectly integrated. With Chen Xi's calm command, it is not a coincidence that many strong teams were eliminated at the home court in Luohuaci.
However, Lan Weiran was not worried about this, smiled slightly, and said confidently: "The so-called change is inseparable, no matter how they change, we only need to destroy the core of this lineup. As I said just now. In that way, Ye Chenxi and Lin Yufan are the central axis and fan bone of the folding fan, as long as one of them is controlled, the lineup of Luo Huaci will naturally be solved."
Everyone listened carefully.
Today's Lan Weiran is very different from the lazy cat Silan in normal days. His face is bright, and the confidence and firmness in his eyes will make people involuntarily convinced - perhaps this is the true style of the founder of Luohuaci
Silan, who writes, draws, and talks in the book, does look like an excellent captain.
Next, Lan Weiran began to arrange the order of appearances in the arena step by step and the response lineup for the team battle. It was 9 pm when he finished all arrangements. Before we knew it, we all forgot to eat dinner when we were discussing the game together. Just as Jiang Xue sent a text message to remind us that the hotel's buffet supper could be eaten, Liu Chuan took everyone who was starving to the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel for a buffet supper. night.
Unexpectedly, in the restaurant, I saw all the members of Luo Huaci, and it seemed that they went downstairs to eat supper just after they were busy.
Ye Chenxi took the initiative to step forward, smiled and joked: "I came to dinner so late? Isn't it just discussing how to defeat us?"
Liu Chuan said with a smile: "Of course, Team Ye, you are the ultimate boss of the dungeon. We are studying how to attack you."
"Really?" Ye Chenxi looked at Lan Weiran, who avoided his gaze and turned to get something to eat.
To be honest, trying to find ways to study how to defeat Ye Chenxi is not a good feeling emotionally. Ye Chenxi has always been very kind to him, and has spoken for him in front of reporters many times to help him round the field. Ye Chenxi's maintenance of his master is in the Almost everyone in the alliance knows that Lan Weiran is not hard-hearted, and he doesn't want to oppose Ye Chenxi...
However, now that the two sides are in different positions, he is very clear about what he should do.
So, Ye Chenxi, don't blame me for being cruel.

The next afternoon was the duel between the Bronze Sparrow and Huaxia in Group B. All the members of the Longyin team were training intensely in the Internet cafe, so they did not watch the live broadcast of the game.
At the end of the game, Liu Chuan glanced at the battle report on the official website. It is said that the cat god was invited to be the commentator for this game. Lu Xiang and Cheng Wei also met in the arena as expected by the reporters. In the first round, Lu Xiang After defeating Cheng Wei, Cheng Wei in turn defeated Lu Xiang in the second round, and the arena between the two sides also drew 3:3.
In the teamfight stage, the Bronze Sparrow's melee impact lineup faced Huaxia's long-range consumption lineup. The tug of war lasted for nearly an hour. In the end, it was a 9-9 draw and had to enter the fifth round of overtime. The random map selected by the system for the extra time is "Luoxiapo". This map is more beneficial to the Tongjak. Lu Xiang and Shao Zehang cooperated tacitly. With Chang Sheng's invincible support, they rushed to the back row of Huaxia and lost Liang in seconds. The seaside, won a crucial decisive flag.
So far, the group stage of the playoffs has all ended, the Huaxia team has been eliminated from the group B, and the bronze sparrow has entered the semi-finals without any risk.
This time, the players of the Huaxia team behaved relatively calmly. They probably just lost to Liu Chuan not long ago. They tasted the bitterness of failure, and with certain psychological preparation, they also accepted the result of this defeat. For calm.
Liang Haibin still said the same thing. He believes that one day he will lead Huaxia to the championship podium again. This belief will make his heart stronger. The exit is only temporary. All fearless!
Surprisingly, Cheng Wei simply announced after the game that he would leave the Huaxia team and return to Miracle to play his white magician. This miraculous and talented young player made a hurried visit to the Wulin League. Not only did he fail to play his due role, but instead caused a lot of infamy. Cheng Wei didn't give any explanation for this, and just turned away silently.
Li Cangyu knew that the little guy had a big downfall this time, so he sent a private message to comfort him with only two words: "Come on."
Cheng Wei replied: "You too, if there is a chance, I want to PK with you."
Li Cangyu said, "You are not my opponent."
Cheng Wei sent a row of expressions of vomiting blood, and silently practiced his hand speed - yes, Li Cangyu was right, he couldn't beat him at all. He has luck, strength, and certain talent, but he has no right to underestimate any opponent.
Chuan Shen, Cat God, and even Lu Xiang, he will always remember the lesson taught to him in the martial arts playoffs.

Qixingcao and Luohuaci from Group A and Tongque and Longyin from Group B became the top four teams in the 13th season and reached the semifinals.
That night, the page of the official website of the Wulin Professional League was also revised. The list of the top four playoffs and the team logo of the 13th season were enlarged on the homepage, and a voting channel for championship prediction was specially opened, and the top of the channel was placed. This season's championship trophy icon.
Netizens responded enthusiastically to this and voted for their favorite teams, as if one more vote would bring them closer to the championship.
This season's top four include established teams, new-generation teams, and new teams that have just been established this season. Each team has a large number of supporters. As an old and strong team, Qixingcao has the highest voice for winning the championship, and the fan base is also the most stable. Luo Huaci has fixed a group of new diehard fans since Ye Chenxi became the captain, and has Shanghai home field advantage bonus. The Bronze Sparrow team has distinct characteristics and has always been very popular. Long Yin, as a rising star, is also in hot pursuit...
The semi-finals have not yet started, but the online voting channel has already been in flames.
At such a tense moment, the players of the top four teams will not pay attention to the official page, and everyone will focus on the pre-match training.
The closed training ended. On the afternoon of June 27, the first game of the semi-finals—Longyin VS Luohuaci finally started!
When the members of Team Longyin came to the competition venue, they were submerged by the purple ocean without any accident. The cry of "Luohuaci cheer" almost broke the eardrums. Lan Weiran wore earplugs and listened to the song. The channel walks into the backstage of the arena, as if he had never heard of all this.
The guest commentary invited today shocked many people, and Lan Weiran's face couldn't help changing when he saw him backstage.
—Hu Liang, the first vice-captain of the Luohuaci team, the strongest support in the professional league back then, an old player who retired at the same time as Lan Weiran, one of the founders of the Xiaoyao Teleportation Array, and Lan Weiran’s best ever Friends and best partners.
The alliance actually invited him out as a guest commentator. Is this not enough topic for the duel between master and apprentice
Liu Chuan was also speechless about this. The old vice captain of Luo Huaci had a good relationship with Silan. However, like Silan, he cut off contact with the league after retiring. come out.
It just so happened that Ye Chenxi also came, and the old and new generation Luo Huaci leaders and vice-captains all arrived, and the corridor that was not too spacious suddenly became very crowded.
Ye Chenxi smiled politely: "Deputy Hu, long time no see."
Hu Liang laughed and patted Ye Chenxi on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Ye, you are really promising. When you were going to take over as captain, I thought you wouldn't last for a year, but I didn't expect... I really underestimate you. ." The tone was quite emotional.
Ye Chenxi smiled, did not answer, and looked back at Lan Weiran.
Lan Weiran's face was a little stiff. Hu Liang's unintentional words seemed to tear open the deepest scar in his heart. Back then, he didn't have the courage to persevere. A good partner and the new captain, Lan Weiran just felt like a knife twisted in his heart.
He should have stood with them, he should have worn the Luo Huaci team uniform that he personally designed, but now, he is on the opposite side of Luo Huaci...
Hu Liang came over, stretched out his arms and hugged Silan, and said, "You are so heartless, why even blocked me."
"... I don't need that Q number anymore, please add my new number." Lan Weiran said, "I'll go to the lounge to prepare first, and we'll talk later."
He quickly turned around and left side by side with Liu Chuan and the others.
Hu Liang sighed lightly, and turned back to find that Ye Chenxi was also standing there watching Lan Weiran go away, and couldn't help but said, "I really don't understand what your master is thinking, when you retired back then, the Q number was abandoned and all your friends were blocked. Why did he come back after a few years? He even formed a team with Liu Chuan, and when I saw his ID, I thought it was the wrong person."
Marven Ye smiled slightly and said, "It's good that he doesn't regret it himself, and others are not qualified to interfere with him, right?"
Hu Liang thought about it and thought it made sense, so he smiled and said, "Well, anyway, the alliance sent me the invitation letter. I'm just here to join in the fun. If you beat you, I can be a bystander with peace of mind."
***
In the soundproof room, Lan Weiran poured a cup of coffee and drank it slowly. Liu Chuan came over and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lan Weiran said, "It's fine."
Liu Chuan paused and said softly, "I haven't seen Vice Team Hu for many years. The league's invitation to these retired veteran players is just to create a topic, and you don't have to be under psychological pressure. He's just a commentator this time, so what? He should know what to say and what not to say."
"Don't worry." Lan Weiran smiled and said, "This little thing can't affect me."
Seeing his confident face, Liu Chuan didn't say more, patted his shoulder lightly, and turned back to his seat.
The game is about to start. The live broadcast screen cuts back to the commentary room. Zhang Shuping smiled and said, "Old Hu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Back then, as the vice-captains of Huaxia and Luo Huaci, we fought tit-for-tat on the field. But sitting together in the commentary room to explain the game, what do you think?"
Hu Liang said: "I have too many thoughts. I really hated you and Liu Chuan back then. Every time I finished the game, I wanted to drag the two of you to the bathroom to be beaten. Today, I still see Liu Chuan's face. I really want to beat him up, but seeing you feels so much better, you're too handicapped to play, which makes me a little gloat."
Zhang Shuping: "..."
The chattering commentator invited another chattering guest. The pre-match analysis stage of this game turned into two people chatting about the past.
The audience was impatient, and finally waited until the lottery stage, and Zhang Shuping just returned to the topic: "Since Longyin entered the playoffs, every game when the four blues go to the lottery, they will draw the blue back selection, and I will see him today. to what?"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Chenxi took the envelope from the referee at the scene of the game and opened it to see - it turned out to be the blue post-election.
Zhang Shuping said excitedly: "Team Ye has drawn blue this time! It means that Team Longyin will choose the map first today. We all know that Longyin is very good at making a comeback in the fourth round. The game will be Luo Huaci’s home court, and if they are at a disadvantage in the early stage, Luo Huaci’s home court in the fourth game will be very difficult to play.”
Hu Liang said: "So Longyin must establish a sufficient advantage in the early stage. If the score is still behind in the third game, there is basically no hope in the fourth game."
Luo Huaci is too difficult to play at home. This is the consensus of almost everyone. Lan Weiran is also not very satisfied with the result of the lottery, but since the lottery has been completed, he can only adapt accordingly.
After returning to the soundproof room, Lan Weiran sat in the command position and selected a home map - the Rock Array.
At the same time submitted the list of players: Lan Lan Lan Lan.
The audience at the scene looked at each other in dismay, Zhang Shuping was stunned before he reacted, and said excitedly: "I just saw Silan sitting in the commanding position to choose a map, this game is obviously Silan full command! He was the first to dispatch Himself... is this a demonstration against Ye Chenxi?"
In the soundproof room of Team Longyin, Lan Weiran's mouth rose, patiently waiting for Luo Huaci's lineup.
In the soundproof room of the Luo Huaci team, Ye Chenxi also smiled helplessly, and submitted the list of players - Shen Xi.
Hu Liang was stunned: "Do you want to fight like this? It's so exciting as soon as you come up, I have to take it easy..."
Zhang Shuping said: "I think Silan is forcing the Ye team to play, the smell of gunpowder is a bit strong!"
However, no matter what outsiders say, after Lan Weiran's first appearance in the arena, Ye Chenxi also appeared in person to fight.
Is this the tacit understanding between the master and the disciple? Or some other reason? Everyone can't tell. The audience only knew that the two masters and apprentices sitting on the contestants' platform quickly put on a serious expression and began to quickly adjust their equipment.
- The 13th season semi-finals of the Wulin Professional League, the first round of the ring, Lanlan Lanlan VS Shenxi.
This will be a master-disciple battle that can be recorded in the history of the alliance, and it is also a peak duel of the top masters of Xiaoyao!
