For Love of the Game

The matter of Shen Huai's injury was hidden from the day, but also from the next day, because he will not be able to participate in the competition for a while.

This is simply a bolt from the blue for other players.

"What?! I got my hand pinched by the car door?!" Hai Xing jumped up excitedly, "Song Xueyang, what did you do! If you insist on taking Shen Huai out to buy things, it's fine if you get rear-ended, but Shen Huai actually caught him hand?"

Shen Huai pressed his head, "I accidentally caught it myself."

Hai Xing lost half of her momentum, but she still glared at Song Xueyang angrily, as if he was the culprit.

Zhou Ning held him back, "Okay, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, and the captain feels bad."

Shi Yi looked at Shen Huai's palm and frowned in pain, "Does it hurt, how long will it take to heal?"

"If he recovers well, it will take about two months. If he is lucky, he can still play one or two games with him."

He didn't say the rest, but obviously, if he recovers slowly, he might not even be able to play in the group stage.

Song Xueyang took the opportunity to say, "For us, the most difficult teams in Group C are Thunderclap and God of War. Thunderclap's game has already been played. According to the order of the schedule, the match against God of War will be the last game. Shen Huai will not be able to play until then at the earliest. , before that, we have to rely on the efforts of the rest of us. Don't act like you can't do it without Yushen, the team I lead is not so weak."

As soon as he said it, everyone also recovered their status.

What they should do is to try their best to stabilize the score, and they will win without Shen Huai. If they lose the game just because one person is missing, what championship is there?

Everyone's eyes became firm, and they devoted themselves seriously to the next training.

Shen Huai's hands needed to be raised, and he couldn't participate in training, so he just sat aside and watched other people train.

Shi Yi and Fan Jingming are playing in the singles arena. Fan Jingming has been working very hard since he decided to develop in the arena. Last night, he copied the video of last year's global singles and doubles competition from Song Xueyang. Today's training is also very serious.

Shen Huai couldn't help but look at it for a while longer. Fan Jingming, who was serious, did have potential, but he didn't give in for a while, and his reaction was quick and his moves were quick. Compared with him on the field, his combos were smoother.

If Shi Yi can overcome the psychological barrier, he is definitely a top player who has the hope of becoming a top player. After watching it for a while, Shen Huai made up his mind.

"You want to bring Shi Yi?" Song Xueyang heard the meaning in his words.

Shen Huai nodded. He always had some sympathy for Shi Yi, and he also felt sorry for this hardworking child from the bottom of his heart. Although he was not sure whether he could make Shi Yi overcome the obstacles, he still couldn't help but want to help.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do now, and I can't play a role if I'm idle all day."

Song Xueyang sighed, "You care so much about him, I'm a little envious."

Shen Huai: "..."

Song Xueyang told Shi Yi what Shen Huai meant, and Shi Yi was so moved that his eyes turned red. After he lost the game, he kept blaming himself for dragging down the team. Unexpectedly, Shen Huai not only did not dislike him, but was willing to accept him. for disciples.

"Thank you Master!"

Seeing that he was so excited, Shen Huai was afraid that his expectations would be too high, "In terms of qualifications, I'm just a newcomer, and I can't be a master and apprentice. Let's help each other."

What he said was so polite, Shi Yi didn't take it to heart at all, and he was very happy to call out master one by one.

Seeing that it was rare for him to be so happy, Shen Huai no longer declined.

Hai Xing also congratulated, "That's great, Shi Yi, from today you will be Yu God's apprentice! I'm so envious!"

Song Xueyang thought to herself, don't talk about you, even I envy you.

Shi Yi was even happier, even though Shen Huai hadn't done anything yet, he felt full of confidence, and secretly made up his mind not to embarrass his master.

When Shen Huai was determined to take care of it, he began to study it seriously. In order to help him overcome his psychological barriers, he went to ask Song Xueyang for advice.

"I watched it for two days. Shi Yi's technique and thinking ability are very good. He can improve steadily with just a little bit of improvement. So I think psychological problems have a more serious impact on him. You are more proficient in this area. What's the point? Is there a solution?"

Song Xueyang felt a little apprehensive, but he also knew that Shen Huai did this for the sake of the team, so he called his father for consultation.

Song Xueyang's father is a psychiatrist, and he is very good at these problems, but what he said was a little professional. Shen Huai felt very reasonable when he heard it, but he still couldn't do anything after hanging up the phone.

Song Xueyang translated his father's words, "To untie the bell, the person who tied it must find out the cause of the problem and either solve it or let him divert his attention."

Shen Huai decided to have a good talk with Shi Yi.

Shi Yi was a little nervous, Shen Huai rubbed his head, "I don't want to blame you, originally this is only your own problem, but as a professional player, this is not just your problem, we are all obliged to help You overcome."

Shi Yi clenched his fists, yes, if he was an ordinary person, this kind of psychological barrier might be ignored, but he is an e-sports player, this problem will be infinitely magnified, and even affect the team's results.

"I... I don't know. Every time I play, I am very serious. I try my best to tell myself not to be nervous and show my usual state, but I just can't..."

Shen Huai found that the problem was more difficult than he imagined, "Think about it carefully, did anything happen the first time you performed abnormally due to nervousness? Or who told you what?"

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Shen Huai was not in a hurry and waited for him quietly.

"When I played the playoffs for the first time, the seniors in the team told me that it is natural to have good results in the group stage, and the masters are all in the playoffs, so let me not be nervous. They also said that many newcomers would not be nervous when they met the top eight teams. His legs trembled with fright, and it is common for him to perform abnormally. When he participated in the playoffs for the first time, he was so nervous that he threw up before going on the court. As a result, the game that he could have won was smashed by him. After listening to him, I kept saying Tell yourself not to be nervous, to relax, but the result..."

As Shi spoke, his nasal voice became heavy, obviously remembering his mistake when he first played.

Shen Huai: "..." These are all seniors.

Shen Huai understood, it was probably because he cared too much about whether he was nervous or not, which actually affected his performance.

As a result, after this mistake, he cared more. After experiencing the disappointment of his teammates and the abuse of the audience, he gradually lost confidence in himself.

Shen Huai sent a message to Zhang Jiayan.

Shen Huai: Are you busy?Please do me a favor?

Zhang Jiayan: say

Shen Huai: Change your account and PK with my friend.

Zhang Jiayan: Okay, what job should I change to?

Shen Huai: Whatever, put some water.

Zhang Jiayan: ...

As for the members of the foreign team, the only one Shen Huai is familiar with is Zhang Jiayan.

He asked Shi Yi to change to another trumpet to enter the ring, and after a while, a Bing Fa with ID named Yun Youyou entered the room.

Shi Yi didn't know why, so Shen Huai said, "This is my friend, you can try to fight with him."

"it is good."

Elementalist and Ice Mage actually have their own advantages and disadvantages. Elementalist has a high burst rate and is more flexible, while Ice Mage has stronger control ability.

Shi Yi didn't know the opponent's level, so he focused on probing at the beginning, but the opponent obviously didn't give him time to hesitate, chasing him for a while and playing fiercely, obviously playing the ice method with a slow offensive rhythm, but let him Played the momentum of a berserker.

Seeing Shi Yi's health bar drop little by little, Shen Huai was really afraid that Zhang Jiayan had forgotten the promise to release the water.

Although Shi Yi lost blood first, he was not in a hurry. The feature of ice magic is the damage bonus under control and freezing, but his own legs are short, and the range of skills is not as far as that of fire magic. The disadvantage is very obvious.He used the flexibility of the Elementalist's skills to approach Frost Mage in a detour, relying on high explosive skill damage to consume, until the blood volume of Frost Mage was suppressed to 30%, he was instantly killed by him.

Shen Huai was very pleased. Although Zhang Jiayan let go of the water, Shi Yi's performance in this game was remarkable, and he played calmly. He didn't panic even if he fell behind in blood volume. , showing a very strong plasticity.

[Room] [Yun Youyou]: Awesome, this person is...?

Shi Yi didn't know who he was and didn't dare to answer, Shen Huai was amused in his heart, he didn't expect Zhang Jiayan to act, so he replied.

——He is Shi Yi.

"Shi Yi, the person who just fought with you is Team Yan."

"Yan, Yan team?"

Shi was so startled that he couldn't close his mouth, Yan Dui would actually fight him in a single arena in private, and he himself won?

Although ice magic is not the profession played by the leader of the team, but after all, it is one of the top masters among the professional players of "City of Despair", and he actually praised himself for being so good?

[Room] [Yun Youyou]: Young people are awesome, come on!Looking forward to playing against you again in the playoffs!

When Shi Yi was praised, he was dizzy for a while, as if a group of little angels with wings were flying in front of his eyes, he quickly typed a line of words.

[System]: Yun Youyou exited the room.

[Room] [Empty and empty! ] Yan team, I have always admired you so much that I decided to play professional e-sports!

Shi Yi: "..."

Shen Huai: "..."

Shen Huai finally understood after seeing this sentence, why every time Shi Yi made a major mistake in his career, his opponent was the WG team.

The phone vibrated and received a WeChat message.

Zhang Jiayan: Can you?

Shen Huai: Yes, thank you.

Zhang Jiayan: You're welcome, it was operated by Yunge, which allowed me to perform supernormally and still succeed. How could I let it go?

Shen Huai: ...

That's right, Zhang Jiayan has a straightforward and passionate personality. It's really not his style to let go of water. If the person who just operated was really him, I'm afraid even Shi Yi could tell that he let go of water.

I just thought of the soft-faced, silent, and cosplay-loving vice-captain of the WG team.

Shi Yi was still immersed in the joy of being praised by his idol, seeing his shining eyes, Shen Huai couldn't bear to tell him the truth.

"When you fought Yan Team just now, what were you thinking?"

Shi Yi recalled, "Well... I was thinking, although his skill range is large, but his movement speed is relatively slow, and he doesn't have displacement skills. I just need to be careful not to be frozen by him, and I can play fast-attack and fast-reverse guerrilla warfare. Hope to win."

Shen Huai directly stated the crux of the problem, "What you think about is how to win, but what do you think about on the field?"

"Don't make mistakes..."

Shi Yi answered this question almost subconsciously. He knew that as long as he could perform stably, half of the players in the circle would not be his opponents. Therefore, his requirements for himself were lowered from the initial requirement of winning to stable performance.

Shen Huai pressed his shoulder, "I don't know what other players are thinking about on the field, but I only think about one thing 'how to win', the more you go back, the more masters, you just think about not making mistakes You may be able to beat players who are much lower than you, but when you face players who are at your level or higher, you will not fight and lose yourself."

When Shi Yi clenched his fingers, Shen Huai was right. It wasn't that he lacked confidence, on the contrary, it was precisely because he knew his level that he kept reminding himself to relax and not make mistakes.

But in the face of future masters in the playoffs and even the global finals, how can they win in such a state?That's why he made frequent mistakes when he met the stronger eighth team, because at least half of his attention was used to control his emotions!

"I understand Master!" He raised his head, "I only want one thing in the future, how to win!"

Shen Huai nodded. Although he didn't know if he could do it when he was actually on the field, it was a good thing that he had this awareness.

In the next few days of training, he worked very hard. He was originally a hardworking child with good understanding, so Shen Huai didn't bother much.

Shi Yi would report his training results to Shen Huai after training every day. In fact, Shen Huai did not tell him to do so, but Shi Yi felt that he would be very relieved to tell Shen Huai the training results, as if he was under the leadership of Shen Huai I am making progress, and I feel motivated every time I finish a report.

At the end of the day's training, Shi waited and waited for Shen Huai, so he went out to look for him, only to see Fan Jingming and Shen Huai talking at the corner.

Shi Yi hid curiously, because he had never seen Xiao Ming with such a serious expression. In his memory, Xiao Ming was always joking and half-joking, but since what happened to Xiao Zhang last time, he has changed a little.

Thinking that it was because of myself again, Shiyi inevitably blamed himself.

"Your hand was injured when I stopped me from hitting Xiao Zhang! I thought it was strange, you and the captain are very stable people, how could you be so accidentally rear-ended and caught in the car door? This morning Xiao Zhang sent me a message..."

He showed Shen Huai the phone screen, "I don't care when he mocks me, but I can't ignore the content. I'm sorry, I was impulsive at the time."

Fan Jingming bowed directly, and Shen Huai hurriedly lifted his shoulders, "I was not careful, so don't make a fuss about it."

While hiding behind the wall, Shi Yi felt that he could not stand still. It turned out that Shen Huai's hand was injured because of the fight with Xiao Zhang that day, and it was not an accident at all!

Thinking of the red light on the field that day, Shi Yi understood everything.

Did Shen Huai actually play with an injury?He kept silent in order not to let himself know, and in order not to affect everyone's game state. Not only that, he also asked everyone to eat hot pot after the game, and he secretly went to the hospital for bone setting.

In fact, the captain already knew about their private competition and fight with Xiao Zhang!But he pretended not to know anything, and even allowed Shen Huai to accept him as an apprentice!

How can he be worthy of everyone's kindness to him!

Fan Jingming said apologetically, "This is different. Hands are really important to e-sports players. If I make your career regretful because of me, I will never forgive myself."

Shen Huai patted him on the shoulder silently, "Don't Shi Yi know?"

"I didn't tell him, and Xiao Zhang probably didn't say either. He doesn't have Shi Yi's contact information. He's so crazy, he doesn't bother to argue with Shi Yi's little transparency, and he probably will put the blame on you. "

"It was originally my grievances with him." Shen Huai had been prepared for a long time, "If it wasn't because he had a feud with me, he wouldn't have spoken harshly to you two. So in this matter, we are even, and no one is sorry for the other. .”

Fan Jingming was speechless, only admiration for Shen Huai remained.

He secretly made up his mind that this debt with Xiao Zhang must be recovered in the arena in the future.

Also determined was Shi Yi, he could no longer affect his state because of a small matter, and let his teammates take care of his emotions carefully.

He has to work hard to become a player worthy of the title of "Cang Yu's Disciple". Sooner or later, he will let Xiao Zhang understand that Shen Huai is better than him, and Shen Huai's apprentice is also better than him!
