Shao Zehang and Lu Xiang cooperated for a week before officially determining the main lineup of the Tongjae team. At that time, many people believed that Lu Xiang should play as a substitute first and wait for a season or two before playing. Although the league has now revised the rules to 16-year-old players It is possible to participate in the competition, but 16 years old is indeed too young, and Lu Xiang is short, so it is really uneasy for such a small guy to directly play as the main force, and it is reasonable for the team members to question.
However, Team Shao insisted on his own opinion and named Lu Xiang as his partner, but the team members didn't say much.
In the offseason after the end of the fourth season, the players of other teams have been on vacation. Only the Tongjak team is in intensive training. Because they will officially debut next season, they must seize all the time they can train.
In Shao Zehang's impression, it was a very hot summer. Lu Xiang only wore a vest and shorts every day in the team. The back looks like a middle school student, and there is no sense of disobedience to go to school with a schoolbag and school uniform. Shao Zehang doubts his decision every time he sees the little guy's back - can this little boy really support the future of the Tongjae team with him
However, a choice has been made, and no matter how big the difficulty is, we must bite the bullet and go on. And there really is no better damage player than Lu Xiang in the Tongjae team.
Everyone has the same doubts as Shao Zehang about this, but Xiao Luxiang himself is heartless. He follows Shao team all day as a follower, training, qualifying, eating, sleeping, and living a simple and easy life. enriched.
It was not until the fifth season that Lu Xiang suddenly felt a strong pressure.
That's because Liu Chuan chatted with him privately on Q: "According to the regulations of the league, the new team will play the champion team of last season in the opening ceremony. Your opponent is Chang'an, are you ready?"
"Playing Chang'an?" Lu Xiang felt the pressure of the game and asked nervously, "Master, do we need any special preparations to play against Chang'an? We usually just play bots and qualifying games casually. , I don't know how to play the official game."
Liu Chuan said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, it's your first time to play, just relax and play at your own level."
Although Master was so comforting, Lu Xiang's nervousness peaked in the following pre-match meeting.
At the first pre-match meeting of the Bronze Sparrow team, all nine players were present, and the manager was also present to listen. Shao Zehang had a very serious expression, and pointed to the projection screen to introduce the current situation of the Changan team: "Changan is the champion team in the fourth season. The combination of captain Lin Liming and vice-captain Qin Ye is their output core. This lineup is very similar to our Tongjak's dual melee lineup. If Lu Xiang and I face Ming Ye's combination, the chances of winning are not high, so my The idea is…”
Team Shao looked very serious when analyzing the tactical arrangement. Lu Xiang listened carefully, taking notes while listening.
After returning to the dormitory at night, Lu Xiang walked to the door of the captain's bedroom, scratched his head, and asked, "Captain, do you think we have a good chance of winning?"
Shao Zehang said: "Don't worry about this, just play the first game seriously."
Even if Shao Zehang is very confident, he is not arrogant enough to think that the Tongjak can win against Chang'an at that time. The Chang'an team in the fourth season was at the peak of the Mingye team. In the game against Chang'an, it's not bad for a new team like them to not have their heads shaved.
Lu Xiang has no clear criteria for judging the strength of other teams. In his heart, Master is undoubtedly the most powerful one, and the other masters are similar. He also thought that he had cooperated with Team Shao for a whole vacation, and recently had a ten-game winning streak in qualifying. Maybe he could successfully stage the counterattack of the dark horse new team at the opening ceremony
Facts have proved that Lu Xiang thinks too much.
The Changan team's lineup is very stable, and the combination of Lin Liming and Qin Ye is completely beyond his imagination.
Not to mention the fight, Qin Ye personally guarded the fight, and 3 points were taken away.
In the team battle stage, Chang'an chose the map at home, and the Shao Lu combination was facing an official game for the first time. Regardless of the lights on the stage or the cheers from the audience, Lu Xiang was very uncomfortable. The first wave of team battles At the critical moment, Lu Xiang's sweeping and group control skills failed to keep up, causing Shao Zehang's control to fail. Qin Ye took the opportunity to break through and enter the Bronze Sparrow camp, cooperated with Lin Liming's large-scale sword formation, and killed all the Bronze Sparrows in one go. The next six kills.
[Night] killed [Flying Deer Hero], the first kill!
…
[Night] killed [Illusionary Landscape], six kills!
[Night color] It's already amazing!
A row of kill messages appeared on the big screen. Qin Ye's superhuman strength meant that the first team battle since the debut of the Tongjae team ended with a tragic 0:6 exchange of heads.
Lu Xiang was the first to die. He was lying on the ground, looking at the black and white computer screen in front of him, watching his teammates fall one by one next to him, his nose suddenly aching. The feeling of being eliminated from the group is really bad. It turns out that this is the real competition, which is much more intense and cruel than the usual qualifying matches.
Anyone who has played against Qin Ye will know how terrible it would be to win six kills. Xiao Sijing, who was watching the game in the audience, frowned and said, "It looks like the bronze sparrow will have his head shaved."
Liu Chuan said helplessly: "I hope they can score at least 2 points, if they are really shaved... This kind of blow is too heavy for the new team."
The Bronze Sparrow team that officially appeared in the fifth season has attracted much attention since its debut, especially the handsome appearance and mysterious family background of the captain Shao Zehang, which has attracted the attention of countless media reporters, and has been accompanied by countless speculative gossip before debut. As for the mysterious young man following him, many people didn't know that he was Chuan Shen's apprentice at that time, but they felt that it was surprising that such a young child came to play the game. Lu Xiang's debut also refreshed the league's professional players at that time. minimum age.
Such a combination of two people will naturally make people unable to stop paying attention.
Many reporters have high hopes for them, and the new combination of Mingjiao and Beggar Gang has also attracted many Mingjiao and Beggar Gang online game players as supporters. Many people hope that this new team can bring more exciting things to everyone, but...
At the opening ceremony, Tong Sparrow was beaten by Chang'an and collapsed. In the end, as Xiao Sijing said, he was shaved and lost 0:9.
Seeing the score of 0:9 written on the big screen, Shao Zehang remained expressionless, but Lu Xiang lowered his head in shame and stared blankly at the keyboard.
This loses? He didn't even know how he lost, the pace of the game turned out to be so fast...
It wasn't until the players from the Chang'an team came over to shake hands that Lu Xiang came back to his senses and shook hands with the seniors like Lin Liming and Qin Ye. Lu Xiang felt very ashamed.
During the post-match interview, the Bronze Sparrow team naturally encountered ruthless bombardment from the reporters. The 0:9 was almost a crushing game, and the cooperation between Shao Zehang and Lu Xiang was also out of touch many times during the game. Lu Xiang even committed several rookie meetings. The low-level mistakes made caused the professional players on the sidelines to shake their heads frequently - how much hope they had for the Tongjak before the game, and how much disappointment they were after the game.
There was also a lot of scolding on the Internet, and some people even said that the Shao Lu group was vulnerable in front of the Ming Ye group, and it was a shame for the beggar gang and Mingjiao. It was also a combination of double melee combat. Lin Liming and Qin Ye had a tacit understanding and looked after each other, while Shao Zehang and Lu Xiang went east and the other went west. The legendary "pig teammates" were so disappointing.
The reporter asked: "I was shaved today, do you have anything to say? It's normal for the new team to be unable to beat the championship team, but many people think that the Tongjak should score at least 2 points."
Lu Xiang was frightened by the group of reporters, and sat there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Shao Zehang picked up the microphone and said calmly: "It's my fault, my command made a mistake, which led to the loss of the three rounds of teamfights. However, the new team has just started the game, and the players are not quite used to the league. Fast-paced, we will reflect and adjust after we go back.”
Team Shao was only in his early 18s. At a young age, he showed the responsibility that a captain should have, and resisted all the responsibilities alone.
The players all knew in their hearts that in fact, this match was not made by Shao's commander at all, but because Lu Xiang had fallen off the chain. However, Shao Zehang was obviously protecting his shortcomings and took the initiative to take the responsibility. No one else dared. Say more.
The reporter asked: "Xiaolu is only 16 years old this year. Would it be too early to participate in the competition so early? Have you considered training for a year or two before playing when you are more mature?"
Lu Xiang was afraid that he answered incorrectly, so he looked at Shao Zehang for help.
"There is no need to wait any longer." Shao Zehang said decisively, "Xiaolu has been training for a long time before, and his basic skills are very solid. What he lacks now is actual combat experience. I have my reasons for letting him play the main force, and I also believe that Xiaolu will not. it disappointed me."
Looking at the trusting eyes of the captain, Lu Xiang nodded with some emotion: "Well, I will work hard!"
After the interview, Lu Xiang obediently followed Team Shao back to the hotel. On the one hand, because the opening ceremony of the fifth season was in Xi'an, he was afraid that he would get lost. On the other hand, he felt that the captain should give him a lecture. As a person who made a big mistake today, he should always wait for the captain's lecture.
Back in the hotel room, only two people were left, Lu Xiang walked up to Shao Zehang consciously, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry... Qin Ye came over too fast just now, I... my mind was blank at the time. I don't even know how to press my fingers... I should keep up with you, I was in a daze and made Tongque lose."
Lu Xiang lowered his head and whispered, sniffling as he spoke.
The little guy won't be sad and cry, right
Shao Zehang's heart softened suddenly, he put his hand on the young boy's head lightly, his eyes softened, and said, "Okay, don't blame yourself too much. It's the first time to participate in a large-scale competition, and it's normal to not adapt to the rhythm of the competition. There are still many games in the future, we are not in a hurry, take your time.”
Lu Xiang said: "But today was originally my fault. You took all the faults in front of reporters, and those people on the Internet would scold you..."
"It doesn't matter." Shao Zehang rubbed his head, seeing that he was still sniffing with his head down, he said embarrassedly, "Cough, you too... don't be too sad, you lose if you lose, it's not a big deal if you lose a few games in the regular season. of."
At such a young age, it is understandable that the psychological quality is not good. Anyone who loses in the game will not feel well, and it is indeed ugly to lose today. The score of 0:9 made the Tongjak teammates silent on the way back to the hotel. It is understandable that Xiaoluxiang is sad.
Seeing Lu Xiang hanging his head and sniffing, Shao Zehang suddenly had the urge to hug him and comfort him.
Action outweighs reason, and when he reacted, Shao Zehang found that he had already stretched out his hands and gently hugged the young boy into his arms.
The height of the deer is only to his chest, and he hugs the little boy in his arms, like a big pillow. The body temperature from the other party softened Shao Zehang's whole heart. Shao Zehang, who had never comforted anyone, touched Lu Xiang's hair awkwardly and said softly, "Okay, don't cry."
Lu Xiang suddenly raised his head and said with a look of surprise: "Cry? I didn't cry, I just had a cold and a runny nose... Ah Hee, Ah Hee!"
After two consecutive sneezes, Lu Xiang smiled at the captain, showing two cute little tiger teeth, and said, "Captain, it's fine if you don't blame me, I'll do my best next time and not hold you back."
- Laughed quite happily.
"..." Shao Zehang looked at him stiffly.
After a long time of softening his heart and comforting him for a long time, this guy actually sniffed because he had a cold? ! Just a waste of emotion.
Wait, why would he be soft-hearted to such a heartless young man, and take the initiative to comfort him? Where the hell is going wrong? Could it be that I started to pay special attention to Lu Xiang before I knew it
Realizing this, Shao Zehang turned around stiffly like a statue and went to the bathroom.
Lu Xiang watched the man suddenly walk forward in a strange posture with hands and feet together, scratched his head in confusion, and thought to himself: Did Shao team lose the game and get overly stimulated? Even walking is not normal, it looks so serious.
