Entering June, the summer of Huacheng is hot day after day, even if it is already five o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight falling from the gap between the high-rise buildings is still hot and disturbing. I can't imagine what the whole city will be in July and August. Furnace hell.
DG started the first journey of the summer regular season in such weather. The venue was in Huacheng. Not only Lu Zhe and the others were familiar with them, but Shen Qiao, who played in BLX, was also no stranger to the venue.
This opponent is HCG—
A team that has only been promoted from the secondary league two years ago, the results are also the lowest among the sixteen LPL teams. Coach Fang just looked at the new members of HCG during the transfer period before the game. There are too many exhortations, as long as they show their normal training state, there is no suspense in this game.
Before the game, DG's official blog updated the status to cheer for his players.
Fans also enthusiastically commented below.
"DG rush for me!"
"Let's set a small goal first, to win the summer championship!"
"Although there have been many rumors about the discord between Shen Qiao and my mainland team, as long as you enter the door of our DG, everyone is a family! I started to follow you today! @DG-Wolfy, you cheer me on! !"
"Lu Zhe: When the game starts, your jungle area will be my home."
…
Four ten in the afternoon.
Inside the venue lounge.
Lao Huo checked the match between red dates and wolfberry in his thermos cup for the elderly. Er Hua was doing hand relaxation training to prepare for the upcoming match. Shen Qiao looked at the time, got up and walked out of the lounge. .
Lu Zhe was briefly discussing HCG's tactics with Coach Fang and several other data analysts.
"HCG's midfield strength is average, it's definitely not as good as you and Qian Bao. Lao Wo and Erhua have always played well in the bottom lane. I'm mainly worried about Shen Qiao, not his strength. After all, this is his first show at DG. , I am afraid of the mentality…”
Hearing this, Lu Zhe smiled slightly, "I understand what you mean, coach."
After that, he said gently and firmly: "But I can guarantee that he will never become a breakthrough for DG. To be honest, as far as HCG is on the road, I can't imagine how Qiao Qiao can destroy his own top road. He is the first. One piece of extraction is not a problem.”
Coach Fang was speechless for a while.
Lu Zhe quickly gave him the last shot: "Besides, isn't this me?"
Coach Fang: "..."
Coach Fang looked at him faintly, and replied after a long time: "Yes, I wasn't worried at all, but when you said that, I started to panic again - promise me, don't surprise me in the official game, I want that kind of dullness. Tasteless victory, okay?"
Hearing the waves in Lu Zhe's eyes, his eyes were like curved peach blossom eyes, curled inward and outward, and a little smile could raise bursts of spring breeze.
He replied in a good voice, "Okay."
After speaking, Lu Zhe looked around subconsciously, but found that Shen Qiao was not in the room. He thought he was going to the bathroom, but he didn't show up after waiting for another five minutes. After asking Lao Wo and the others, he couldn't help but Go out and look for it.
…
In a secluded corner, a tall figure stood by the window, with a little bit of fire light between his hanging fingers, and a thin smoke rose, quickly dissipating in the air, and surrounded by a faint glow. of fog.
The man's facial features are handsome and arrogant. At this moment, he is just standing there calmly, with a fatal attraction. He is a beast that symbolizes danger, and he can't help but want to get closer and boldly give birth to the idea of tameness.
Lu Zhe thought so, and he was so close—
Shen Qiao reacted from the distracted state, smelled the cedar scent that had been wrapped up on Lu Zhe, and subconsciously hid the hand holding the cigarette behind him.
Before Lu Zhe spoke, he had already taken the initiative to speak:
"Cough, quitting smoking is a gradual process..."
Even if his expression is more righteous and confident, the tone of Lu Zhe's smiling eyes can't help but weaken.
Heck.
What he said was clearly the truth.
Lu Zhe smiled lightly, looked at him with his black eyes without blinking, and replied tolerantly, "I know."
He said, "I didn't stop you from smoking, go ahead."
Shen Qiao: "..."
The cigarette in his hand was raised and put down, and he always felt uncomfortable.
It took Shen Qiao a long time to realize that the distance between the two of them was too close. The temperature in Lu Zhe's eyes made him uncomfortable, and his smoky voice asked rustlingly:
"Can you stand so close?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhe shook his head solemnly: "No."
His eyes drooped, looking at the cigarette in Shen Qiao's hand, a faint smile still stopped at the corner of his mouth, and even his voice seemed to be dyed with tenderness:
"Although I don't smoke, it doesn't prevent me from sharing the blessings with you. From today, I will strive to smoke the freshest second-hand smoke. Maybe I will even go to heaven one step earlier than you, right?"
Shen Qiao: "..."
With a mocking look in his eyes, he looked Lu Zhe up and down for a while, and replied, "I think too much, heaven doesn't accept e-sports trolls."
After speaking, he held the remaining one-third of the cigarette blankly and walked to the trash can to extinguish it, then lowered his head and crushed the sparks of the cigarette butt.
Lu Zhe watched his coherent movements, and the smile on his lips widened, but he turned his head away from Shen Qiao, so as not to provoke a certain little wolf cub into anger.
However, the moment he turned his head, a thought jumped out of Lu Zhe's mind out of time—
After the slogan of helping him quit smoking has been shouted for so long, is it time for some practical action
"It's about to start?" Shen Qiao walked towards him after throwing away the cigarette butt, wearing the same silver-white uniform as him, except that there was air conditioning in the stadium, Lu Zhe was wearing a long-sleeved jacket, and Shen Qiao only wore She wore short sleeves, revealing her muscular and smooth forearm lines, plump and glowing with a healthy complexion.
Seeing his serious expression, Lu Zhe also dispelled the flashing thoughts in his mind, and nodded: "Yes."
…
Five o'clock sharp.
The excited voice of the commentary echoed throughout the venue along with the din of the audience—
"Welcome to the LPL Summer Game Huacheng Venue!"
“The two teams we are facing today are DG and HCG! As we all know, DG encountered some unexpected situations in the spring split due to the single fish, and unfortunately stopped in the semi-finals, and now it is replaced by Wolfy from BLX before! I believe everyone Just like me, I can’t wait to know how he and DG are getting along, Xiao Yi, what kind of performance do you think DG will give today?”
After the commentator finished talking like a machine gun, he finally remembered that there was another person who was with him, and finally passed a sentence.
Sitting next to him is a female commentator Xiaoyi with exquisite makeup. She has a decent smile on her face, but she can't help rolling her eyes at the question. Only they know how DG's state is. Is there any other meaning to increase the risk of slap in the face
She smiled and replied: "Of course I hope that both teams can show their best form and show their style - as for how the wolf cub and DG are getting along, in the next game, he should be able to bring the best give us the answer."
While the two commentators were talking about the hot field before the game, the players of the two teams were led to the high platforms at both ends of the stadium, and kept a long distance from the audience seats in the middle.
Because the pheromones of A and O are easy to influence each other, the league has set up many regulations to prevent emergencies.
For example, Omega needs to check the inhibitor concentration in the body before participating in the competition, and whether there are signs of estrus—
After all, if an O suddenly enters the estrus period during a game, the Alpha of the entire venue will be affected, and in severe cases, it will even cause social incidents. After all, the pheromone released by the unmarked O in estrus will instinctively attract the Alpha to produce the marked possession. the urge to defeat all potential competitors around you.
Another example is to put pheromone-isolating bracelets on Alpha to prevent some Alpha players from fluctuating too much in the game and releasing pheromones to affect the state of other opponents; and setting up high-power air filtration systems in the stadium, etc. The measures vary.
…
"DG! Come on! DG! Come on!"
After the commentary introduced the team respectively, there was an overwhelming sound of cheers from the fans of the DG team off the field.
Shen Qiao tried the equipment, and when he heard the movement, he had an unreal feeling. After all, he never thought that he would have a day to play with Lu Zhe on the same team.
Coach Fang stood next to the referee, also put on headphones, and was preparing to communicate with them for the B&P session in a while.
The old snail grabbed the attention: "Father Lu, it's an old rule, try Mai with a couple of rude words."
Coach Fang was helpless: "Don't you know about the words during the game?"
Erhua joked: "Coach, where do you think the name Lu Gou came from?" Isn't that the essence of Lu Zhe that fans discovered from the competition quotes
Qian Bao echoed: "Isn't the pre-match talk not a feature of our team?"
Coach Fang: "..." I can't refute.
Lu Zhe laughed, his tone soft and tingling, and called out as his teammates wished: "Jojo—"
Shen Qiao looked at the screen, and replied calmly without raising her head: "Don't cue, I don't want to debut in the C position in the quotations."
Lu Zhe threw a serious topic like a small talk: "I want to ask, they will definitely let you interview after the game, and by the way ask how you get along with me, how would you answer?"
It was strange that the last bit of discomfort in Shen Qiao's body disappeared after hearing his gentle voice.
He actually took over the conversation as usual and said casually, "I get on well with the captain."
"This template sounds like you are threatened by the manager." Erhua pointed out sincerely.
Shen Qiao held back and reluctantly made an expansion: "My dear captain and I get along well."
He clearly said the word "dear", but his expression was like constipation, which caused the camera to freeze him for several seconds.
Qian Bao, Erhua and Lao Wo all laughed.
Lu Zhe's shoulders also shook, leaning back on the chair, he looked at the game login page, and said to Shen Qiao: "I have a little suggestion that is not very mature, it can make this sentence more true."
Shen Qiao: "?"
He had a gut feeling that someone was going to do something.
Sure enough, the next second Lu Zhe's serious voice came out clearly from the headset:
"Remove the word 'captain' and read it again."
Shen Qiao: "..."
Qian Bao and the others let out some frantic laughter from the earphones, and then the old snail said, "Hey, hey, I'm in a good state." Erhua and Qian Bao didn't take it too seriously and found the feeling, only Shen Qiao He stared blankly at the screen.
Lu Zhe looked at his profile, didn't follow them, just asked gently, "Do you think it's no different from the usual practice matches now?"
Shen Qiao was stunned, turned her head to look at him, and answered after a few seconds, "I'm not nervous."
Only then did Lu Zhe smile: "Yes."
He said, "Then I'll wait for Joe to take me on the road."
At the same time, the game enters the Ban&Pick session—
The author has something to say:
Big Bird rubbed his claws and vowed: The competition is like a big test, the important thing is to be the same as usual! Attitude is the most important thing! It's the same for everyone at the end of the latest period! take it easy!
Speaking of which, I've been dreaming about their Io 3 scenes recently, and Big Bird feels that he's really stunned!
