[Han Zhang] One thought

46.

Team Tyranny, who had been making great progress all the way, did not have the last laugh in the ninth season. They lost to Team Samsara in the finals and came second.

The reason is simple - they are all "old".

A lineup with "Four Heavenly Kings" at the same time looks bluffing, but in fact, except for Zhang Xinjie who is in his prime, the other three have reached the twilight years of their careers. , and wanted to compete with the young and vigorous Samsara team, it was obviously more than enough.

But Tyranny's veterans are clearly in a good mood. When asked how he felt about being runner-up, Han Wenqing just said calmly, "Come back next year." Zhang Jiale clapped his hands and laughed, "Runner-up? I'm used to it, okay?"

Soon, people's attention shifted from the new champion Samsara to the Challenger League—the traditional tycoon Excellent Era was completely defeated by the grass-roots Xingxin, which was already a shocking enough story.

But what is more compelling than the battle situation is the story behind it—how did Ye Qiu become Ye Xiu again?What kind of secrets did he have behind leaving Excellent Era?What happened to the short-lived "former god" Sun Zheping?In the end, the listing of Team Excellent Era brought this series of grievances and hatred to the forefront.

But Team Xingxin, who won the championship of the Challenger League, quickly disappeared, and the media could only contact other teams in the league, trying to get some secrets out of these "old opponents".Even at the press conference after Tyranny's defeat in the finals, the "Four Heavenly Kings" were chased by reporters and asked how they thought of Ye Xiu and Team Xingxin who were about to return to the professional league.

"Beat him as always."

The media harvested only such a slogan.

This offseason is destined not to be peaceful - the Jiashi team that was listed for sale is still struggling to carry out transactions, and the new champion Samsara suddenly bought Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf at a "sky-high price" of 2800 million. Single big deal.

"I'll go! Samsara has a really big appetite, and I'm not afraid of choking..." In Tyranny's conference room, Zhang Jiale held a copy of "E-Sports Home" and sighed sincerely.

"The current alliance is really a team..." Lin Jingyan also complained.

"Old Lin, who are you mocking?" Zhang Jiale alertly threw the magazine on the table next to him, stretched out his arms to wrap around Lin Jingyan's neck, and asked with a smile.

"Say me, tell me." Lin Jingyan quickly raised his hand in surrender.

Everyone in the conference room burst into laughter—when Zhang Jiale and Lin Jingyan joined Tyranny, they were often scolded by fans for being a "group"; now, their self-deprecating jokes made the atmosphere of this "review conference" a lot easier.

"Actually, Samsara's team building idea is very clear..." Zhang Xinjie also said calmly, "We lost to Samsara not because of tactics or combat power, but because of age and physical strength. In other words, we lost The tactical system and teamwork can completely contain Zhou Zekai and suppress the rhythm of Samsara; besides Zhou Zekai, Samsara still lacks a stable frontal attacker. My original plan was to add more rotations next season, preserve strength, and strive to Steady, give it another go in the playoffs...but now they have introduced Sun Xiang—to be honest, if Sun Xiang can be well integrated into Samsara's tactical system, it will be a big threat to us."

"It's hard to say..." Lin Jingyan rubbed his chin, "Sun Xiang obviously failed to integrate into the tactical system in Excellent Era..."

"But he's growing—" Zhang Xinjie said, opening the game video of the final of the Challenger League, "Judging from the second half of the competition, he is already much more mature than before, if reincarnation can give him enough space— —”

"Give Sun Xiang enough space, what about Zhou Zekai?" Zhang Jiale interrupted suddenly.

"This is the problem that reincarnation needs to solve." Zhang Xinjie shrugged and turned his attention to One Autumn Leaf and Lord Grim who were fighting fiercely on the projection screen.

At this time, Han Wenqing, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "The rotation you just mentioned—how are you going to do it? Tell me."

Zhang Xinjie hesitated for a few seconds, then pressed the pause button, and the screen was frozen on the close-up of One Autumn Leaf's action.

"You all need to rest—" He paused, his eyes glanced at Han Wenqing, Zhang Jiale, and Lin Jingyan for a week, "We can't compete with these young and powerful players anymore."

The three of them who had been watched by him for a week were silent, they all understood what Zhang Xinjie meant.

"We must play more steadily, and would rather give up some regular season wins. As long as we can maintain sufficient energy to enter the playoffs, we will have the strength to compete with any team in the league."

"I understand," Han Wenqing folded his arms and nodded, "Let's take turns."

Zhang Jiale and Lin Jingyan exchanged glances, acquiescing to Han Wenqing's proposal.

"You don't need to be dejected. In fact, losing to fatigue is the easiest problem to solve - as long as you have enough rest and preserve your strength." Zhang Xinjie added.

"Really?" Han Wenqing suddenly raised his head at this moment, looking closely into Zhang Xinjie's eyes.

"I understand what you mean," Zhang Xinjie didn't avoid his gaze, "The situation in the league is changing rapidly, and Sun Xiang's reincarnation may not be the last change in this offseason. There will always be various accidents in the future—but I will do my best to minimize the possibility of these accidents."

"Okay," Han Wenqing finally nodded and sighed, "I will cooperate with you."

Zhang Jiale and Lin Jingyan also nodded one after another, Zhang Xinjie didn't say anything, and pressed the play button again.Everyone silently watched the video of the challenge match between Excellent Era and Xingxin, until Sun Xiang typed "GG" on the channel.

"Sun Xiang would take the initiative to GG?" Bai Yanfei on the side couldn't help complaining.

"He knows it in his heart. In this situation, it's meaningless to fight any longer." Qin Muyun replied in a low voice, turning his gaze to Zhang Xinjie.

Zhang Xinjie nodded and turned off the video: "That's all for today, this season is completely over, everyone go back and have a good rest, let's come back next season - I will re-finalize our tactical system, before the start of the new season Come up with a rotation plan."

"Let's add the kid from the youth training camp..." Han Wenqing said suddenly, folding his hands behind his head, "He's almost ready to make his debut."

Now not only Zhang Xinjie was stunned, but the entire training room fell into deathly silence.

"Old Han... are you sure?" Zhang Jiale asked tentatively from the side.

"Any questions?"

He glanced at Zhang Jiale, then turned his attention to Zhang Xinjie.

"No problem." Zhang Xinjie replied calmly.

Lin Jingyan smiled, as if he wanted to liven up the atmosphere: "Now it's interesting - Tiny Herb has two magic ways, Blue Rain has two swordsmen, Void has two ghosts, we can also play a double punch tactic to bluff The younger generation of the alliance."

This joke didn't work, Han Wenqing still frowned, shook his head and sighed: "How can these boys be so easily bluffed?"

"The double fist tactics are unrealistic." Zhang Xinjie also shook his head solemnly. "We let Qiying make his debut in advance so that he can be the leader after the captain retires in the future, not just let him become an embellishment in our tactical system."

There was another silence in the meeting room. Everyone knew the facts Zhang Xinjie said, but after he revealed it himself, the nature of the matter was completely different.

"You can do it yourself."

In the end, Han Wenqing left such a sentence, got up and left the meeting room.

Zhang Jiale and Lin Jingyan remained where they were, looking at each other, but Zhang Xinjie calmly greeted them, got up and chased them out.

"Comrade Xiao Zhang is really outspoken." Zhang Jiale shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Old Han should be used to it, right?"

The other teammates also left the conference room one after another. Zhang Jiale picked up the "E-sports Home" that he had thrown aside, and stared at Zhou Zekai on the cover.

"I really envy these young people..."

"What are you envious of? Are you envious of his handsome looks?" Lin Jingyan continued to change the subject with gags.

"Hey," Zhang Jiale put the magazine on the shelf, then turned to wink at Lin Jingyan, "Aren't I handsome?"

"Handsome, handsome," Lin Jingyan raised his hands in surrender, "You are the most handsome in the whole team."

Zhang Jiale laughed dryly twice, walked up to Lin Jingyan, and patted him on the shoulder: "When will Lao Lin come home?"

"I'm not going back," Lin Jingyan put his hands into his trouser pockets calmly, "I'll stay in Q City, do odd jobs for the guild, and communicate with Lao Han and Xiao Zhang and the others... What about you? When will you return to K City?"

"I—" Zhang Jiale cleared his throat, with a look of hesitation in his eyes, "I'll go to City B in two days..."

"Oh..." Lin Jingyan was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly realized, and lightly patted Zhang Jiale's shoulder, "I wish everything goes well."

"Thank you."

Not long after Zhang Xinjie left the conference room, he caught up with Han Wenqing at the stairs.

"Captain—" he called out.

Han Wenqing's footsteps stopped, but he didn't turn around.

"What's the matter?" He turned his back to Zhang Xinjie and asked slowly.

"The matter of Qiying—"

"You don't need to tell me this," Han Wenqing bluntly interrupted what he hadn't been able to say, "I know it myself."

"Then... about the registration—"

"You can just come up with the rotation plan, you don't have to worry about the registration," Han Wenqing finally turned around and looked at Zhang Xinjie calmly, "You have to do everything yourself, what do we need the uniform team for? "

Before Zhang Xinjie had time to say anything, Han Wenqing had already stepped forward, walked up to him, and hugged him tightly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's ok."

"Fuck—"

An exclamation suddenly came from behind, Han Wenqing raised his head, looked over Zhang Xinjie's shoulder, and saw Zhang Jiale and Lin Jingyan standing not far behind them, staring at them dumbfounded.
