[Han Zhang] One thought

34.

The playoffs of the seventh season can be described as turbulent, leaving all Glory fans dumbfounded.

First, Excellent Era, the leading wealthy team in the entire Glory League, suffered a "round tour" and fell into the hands of Tiny Herb led by Wang Jiexi.

Before the fans could recover, Excellent Era's old rival Team Tyranny lost to their old rival Hundred Blossoms in the second round of the playoffs, stopping them in the semi-finals.

When shaking hands after the game, Zhang Jiale didn't have the slightest look of joy on his face. In the words of the Hundred Blossoms team reporter, "It's like going to fight Han Wenqing desperately."He would say that naturally because the Tyranny players who lost the game didn't have a good face, Zhang Xinjie was quite calm, and Han Wenqing's face was already black enough to scrape off a layer of soot.

There is also a reason for Han Wenqing's ugly face - in his opinion, he is the chief culprit of this defeat. Under the attack of Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, Damo Guyan's operation lagged twice, which directly caused his operation Breaking away from Tyranny's entire tactical system, Tyranny also lost the "match point" in these two crucial turning points.

The audience and the media naturally knew nothing about these two subtle transitions, but everyone could see that Han Wenqing was in a very bad mood.Therefore, at the press conference after the game, the reporters all consciously turned their cameras on Zhang Xinjie, expecting to hear some analysis about the game from him.

Zhang Xinjie always knows everything when facing reporters, but this time, when asked about the reason why Tyranny lost the game, he was surprisingly vague: "Obviously, the opponent played a better game."

"That is to say, there is nothing wrong with Tyranny's tactics?"

At this time, the four "tactical masters" of the league have long been famous, and the reporters are also accustomed to using the word "tactics" on their lips intentionally or unintentionally to show their "professionalism".But at this moment, Zhang Xinjie just smiled faintly, and asked back: "What do you think is wrong with Tyranny's tactics?"

The reporter who asked the question was speechless, and the conference hall was filled with whispers from other reporters, but obviously, Zhang Xinjie didn't intend to embarrass the other party. Before the reporter sat down, he immediately added calmly: " Tactics are not omnipotent, there are other factors that determine the direction of the game outside of the tactical system—it does not mean that having perfect tactics can guarantee that the game will be foolproof.”

"Then what do you think is the key factor affecting the outcome of this game?"

"I don't know," Zhang Xinjie replied frankly, which once again caused an uproar in the press hall. "The specific reason will not be confirmed until after the replay. Now I can only say, congratulations to Team Hundred Blossoms for their outstanding performance, and wish them the best in the next game." achieved good results.”

The reporters suffocated at Tyranny's side, and turned around to besiege Zhang Jiale, but what they didn't expect was that the winning Team Hundred Blossoms was even more uncooperative than Tyranny. They were all handed over to the deputy captain Zhang Wei to take care of them.

The Tyranny players who had returned in a hurry naturally knew nothing about it, so when they ran into Zhang Jiale at the exit of the player tunnel, they were really surprised.

A group of people just blocked the exit and looked at each other. After a while, Zhang Xinjie said, "Come on."

"Thank you..." Zhang Jiale looked very tired, but managed to smile at them, "It's time to go crazy."

Han Wenqing frowned: "I thought you were crazy enough."

"Not enough," Zhang Jiale rolled his eyes, and shook his head firmly, "Not enough."

They passed by Zhang Xinjie couldn't help turning his face to look at Zhang Jiale. He was surprised to find that the Zhang Jiale in front of him seemed to be much older than the image in his mind.

The Zhang Jiale who laughed and trash-talked him during the handshake after the game is gone forever.

On the bus, many chaotic thoughts flashed through Zhang Xinjie's mind—since his debut, he has always been a well-known "observer" in the league, but at this moment, this kind of insightful skill has brought him Many troubles.

He thought of the crazy Zhang Jiale, Wang Jiexi who had changed his style of play long ago, Ye Qiu who squatted in the player tunnel smoking after the regular season match... for a moment, he had mixed feelings.

He turned his head and glanced at Han Wenqing beside him, only to find that he was also looking at him.

"Sleep?" Han Wenqing pointed to his shoulder.

Zhang Xinjie leaned his head towards him habitually, Han Wenqing raised his hand, as if he wanted to hug his shoulder, but in the end he just patted him lightly twice.

"What are you thinking?"

"nothing……"

Zhang Xinjie hadn't tried talking to Han Wenqing in this posture before—he didn't feel sleepy, yet he could clearly hear Han Wenqing's breathing and heartbeat.

"What do you think Zhang Jiale's words mean?"

"He—the ambition to win the championship should be stronger than anyone else?"

"Who isn't like this?" Han Wenqing asked back, his tone sounded very peaceful.

Zhang Xinjie had no way to refute this sentence. He closed his eyes in silence, trying to let himself sleep for a while, but what kept coming to mind was Zhang Jiale's side face that had experienced vicissitudes, and Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' crazy back on the field.

Zhang Xinjie's blessing at the press conference did not come true—after three games, Team Hundred Blossoms lost to Team Tiny Herb with a slight disadvantage. Tiny Herb finally won their second championship in team history, but what Hundred Blossoms got, But it was the third runner-up, and endless ridicule.

However, Tyranny's players were not in the mood to show sympathy to Hundred Blossoms. After watching the three final matches, Zhang Xinjie told his teammates to focus on himself—it was time for a replay.

This replay is different from the real-time analysis after each game, it also includes replays of the three finals - the light and shadow changes on the big screen, when everyone in Tyranny is dazzled, the perspective suddenly cuts After leaving Wang Buliuxing, everyone in Tyranny was dizzy for a while with a treacherous flight and various props emerging one after another.

"This is too disgusting..." Zheng Chengfeng complained in a low voice, and Bai Yanfei next to him was about to nod in agreement, but Zhang Xinjie suddenly pressed the pause button, and the sound in the game calmed down, making Zheng Chengfeng's complaint It seemed very abrupt.

But Zhang Xinjie didn't intend to argue with him, he just looked up at Han Wenqing.

"Wang Jiexi's style of play keeps changing," Han Wenqing folded his arms, his voice sounding very dull, "This is not the magician's style of play when he debuted, but it's not the style of play that he won the championship in the fifth season—— He's gotten tougher, and he's going to get tougher."

Zhang Xinjie nodded, pointed to the screen and said to his teammates: "We haven't played against Tiny Herb in the playoffs, but you can think about it. If we play this match, how do you plan to deal with Wang Jiexi?"

There was a complete silence in the conference room, and even Han Wenqing just looked down at the teacup in front of him without saying a word.

"Let Yan Fei and Chi Xuan find a way to cover, and I will find a way to slow down Wang Jiexi's rhythm..."

Zhang Xinjie nodded, as if he approved of Zheng Chengfeng's speech: "This idea is very good, but—"

He lowered his head and pulled the progress bar of the video back for a few minutes, then pressed the play button. For a moment, all kinds of ammunition flew on the screen, and a hundred flowers of light and shadow almost flooded the entire map.But in less than half a minute, Wang Buliuxing's figure escaped from the light curtain intertwined with various ammunition and flew out.

"Baihua did the same thing, did it work?"

Zhang Xinjie pointed to the screen, and saw Wang Buliuxing circling half a circle in the sky calmly after breaking away from Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' control, taking advantage of the moment when Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' skills were free, he came back, followed by Ice Powder and Dispelling Powder , lava flasks, star rays, and everyone in Tyranny saw another dazzling sight.When they came back to their senses, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' health bar had dropped a lot.

"It's useless——" Zhang Xinjie has already made his judgment firmly, "What Chengfeng just mentioned, Baihua has also thought of it. The tactical idea is one thing, and whether it can be successfully implemented is another."

The teammates looked at each other, and Han Wenqing frowned and gave him a complicated look.

"I know that it is very popular in the league now to call it 'tactics'. I am afraid that what the reporter asked at the press conference that day is exactly what you think. We have a strict and stable tactical system. Why do we still lose? It's very simple. There are variables in the world, and no matter how strict the tactics are, it will inevitably be a hundred secrets. I don't want you to be shaken because of this season's loss. In any case, our goal has not changed-the championship."

"So what should we do?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the source of the voice. None of them expected that it was Han Wenqing who asked this question first.

They had long been accustomed to Zhang Xinjie presiding over the review, as if things were supposed to be like this, but when Han Wenqing took the initiative to ask this sentence, everyone felt a "click" in their hearts.

"I will work hard to improve our tactics, making it more flexible and able to cope with more variables. Tactics will solve tactical problems--tactics are not a panacea, but they are essential."

Han Wenqing didn't speak anymore, and the replay meeting came to an end. His teammates left the meeting room one after another, and Zhang Xinjie also started to turn off the computer and projector. Sitting in place, motionless.

"Captain, are you still leaving?"

"Tell the truth," Han Wenqing replied irrelevantly, "You said we were defeated by variables, do you really think so, or are you trying to comfort me?"

"Do you need my comfort?" Zhang Xinjie asked calmly, "Shouldn't you be used to it?"

Han Wenqing was startled for a moment, and then he grinned. There was a bit of bitterness in the smile. He nodded slowly, lowered his head to pinch the bridge of his nose, and suddenly raised his head to look at Zhang Xinjie: "If I said I need it?"

Zhang Xinjie was stunned. He was still bent over. He was about to check whether there was any device on the table that was not turned off. At this moment, he could only look up at Han Wenqing hastily. He opened his mouth, but he didn't think about what to say. something.

Han Wenqing stood up and closed the notebook in front of him: "Are you hungry?"

"I'm okay."

"I'm hungry," Han Wenqing patted his belly frankly, "I'll make a bowl of noodles, half of it for you?"

"it is good."
