【Gao Qiao Gao all】Youth

Happy's match against Tiny Herb at home was far more stalemate than when the two sides collided for the first time in the first half of the season.

The initial heads-up stage almost became a stage for the visiting team to perform. Xu Bin and Wang Jiexi won the individual competitions one after another. Baozi and Fang Rui.During the intermission, the commentator specifically mentioned Tiny Herb's strength in the ring - as of the fifth round of No.20, two-thirds of the regular season has passed, and they only lost once in the away game against Samsara.

However, it is the team competition worth five points that decides the final outcome.

Ye Xiu, who hadn't appeared in the previous few rounds, returned to the battle, from the beginning of the command and deployment to achieve the set goal, to the mid-stage response to the opponent's counterattack, and then to the end to stabilize the situation and control the situation... These aspects of guiding the battle situation, regardless of Qiao Yifan's own side , or the opposite Gao Yingjie, there is a lot to experience and learn from.

Under his leadership, Team Xingxin successfully pulled back a victory and fixed the total score at 6:4.

But the game won't be easy.Tiny Herb's defense strength and attack strength, as well as the ability to quickly switch between offense and defense, caused them a lot of trouble.

Even though Tang Rou's Soft Mist had been specifically adjusted to the starting lineup to increase the impact of the lineup, the home team still spent a lot of effort to tear apart Tiny Herb's tough defense.And when faced with the nimble and quick counterattacks of the double demons and the swordsmen, Xingxin's defensive end was also under pressure.After one and a half seasons of training, An Wenyi, whose reaction ability has improved, also experienced the feeling of being in a hurry for a long time.

At the post-match press conference, Ye Xiu, who always had a sarcastic attitude, rarely commented on his opponent seriously. The sentence "the lineup will be very difficult when it is fully mature" seems ordinary, but if you consider that it comes from the most scheming Glory textbook It is quite worth recalling.

It was quite late when we left the venue, and it was not known when there was a drizzle outside, and the air was cold and humid.

Qiao Yifan saw the familiar figure at the exit at a glance, and walked over quickly.

"Sorry, sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Gao Yingjie, who was swiping Weibo to pass the time, quickly put away his phone, nodded with a very serious expression, but there was a hint of a smile in his tone: "Well, I'm so hungry after waiting."

"Then I treat you to supper? It's an apology." Qiao Yifan said with a smile.

"I was just kidding, but it's actually fine." Gao Yingjie quickly clarified, "And it's quite late now, so don't bother."

"Alright, let's talk about it when we go back." Qiao Yifan stretched out his hand to feel the force of the rain, "Otherwise it will be troublesome when the rain gets heavier."

There is a kitchen in the dormitory of Shanglinyuan, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect this group of people to be able to fire and cook. Most of the items stored in the refrigerator are things that can be eaten directly or microwaved.Qiao Yifan warmed up a cup of milk for Gao Yingjie first, saying that drinking this before going to bed would help him fall asleep, and then he took out bread from the refrigerator.

This is the first time to come to Xingxin's dormitory. While drinking milk, Gao Yingjie looked around curiously, and suddenly found a familiar exquisite paper box, and asked casually, "Yifan, you haven't finished eating this yet." ?”

Qiao Yifan was looking for a jam spatula in the cupboard with his back on his back, and he replied casually, "Which one?"

"That's the one..." Gao Yingjie was about to blurt out the words "I gave it to you", but Gao Yingjie suddenly felt a little delicate, and the words slipped from his mouth, "Chocolate?"

Immediately realizing what he was referring to, Qiao Yifan replied with a smile without thinking, "Yes."

After a muffled "Oh", Gao Yingjie buried his face on the rim of the cup.

Thinking that the foreign festival will be soon after the Spring Festival, so when traveling with his family during the Chinese New Year, he specially bought some local chocolates for Qiao Yifan.Originally, they wanted to send it to City H, but it happened that Tiny Herb was visiting Excellent Era on February 2th, so they simply went to Xingxin by themselves and left the package at the front desk of the Internet cafe.

"Hmm...is it not delicious? Or...is it not to Yifan's taste?"

Blaming himself for being a bit self-defeating, Gao Yingjie accidentally leaked out what was in his heart, but the voice of mumbling sounded a little listless, even a little wronged.

He was thinking hard by himself, but Qiao Yifan had already heard that his lover was struggling.Imagining Yingjie's pouting and bulging cheeks now, he couldn't help laughing, but after thinking about it, he decided to stop being funny, so he said honestly: "Actually, I only tasted a few kinds, mint and hazelnut. It's delicious, slightly sweet like the toffee soft heart."

He suddenly made a sound, but Gao Yingjie didn't realize it for a moment: "Huh?"

While he was in a daze, he heard Qiao Yifan continue: "After all, some people work so hard and bring them here wrapped in scarves and wearing sunglasses. I want to keep it and eat it slowly."

Some people immediately became happy, but felt a little embarrassed, and quickly lowered their heads to cover it up by drinking milk.

Tiny Herb's return flight is scheduled for noon, so you can get up a little later the next day.After tidying up and washing up, the two of them just lay in the warm blanket, holding the tablet computer to watch the other games of this round.

Samsara and Blue Rain, the two leading teams in points both won by a large margin.As Blue Rain lost to Hundred Blossoms and 13 in succession, the gap between the two teams gradually widened to 9 points.But in this round, faced with Howl who was actively striving for the qualification for the playoffs, after adjusting, they beat their opponent 1:[-] mercilessly, and continued to maintain the pressure on the top spot.

"Little Lu is really getting more and more impactful." Seeing the flowing clouds in the screen disrupting the roaring formation like a bamboo, Qiao Yifan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and conveniently saved the video link in his bookmarks.

"Yeah, that's right, and it also pays more attention to the rhythm of the game." Gao Yingjie agreed.

After the top two, is the second echelon of Happy and Tiny Herb.Since Void lost to Hundred Blossoms 3:7 in the away game, Xingxin's fourth and Tiny Herb's fifth positions became more stable.But this round, Tyranny, who had scored 8 points against Miracle, opened up a little distance from the two teams.

"It's a pity that Void has won all three matches in the opening individual competition, and the momentum is obviously good." Qiao Yifan said.

"I read this brief post-match commentary. It said that Hundred Blossoms specially sent summoners to contain the Blue Exorcist, and the Box-1 tactical interference was very successful. There is also this article, which mentioned the wonderful cooperation of the new double flowers..." Gao Yingjie said Numbling, while swiping quickly on the screen with his finger, "I have to watch this game carefully when I go back."

"Baihua won three consecutive victories, but Leiting also won today, and they are still eighth." Qiao Yifan also continued to browse various news.Compared with the previous round, the rankings of the top teams have almost no changes, but their points are different, or they are getting closer or farther away.

8 and Misty Rain both defeated their respective opponents with a score of 2:12, continuing to cling to the team in front.After this miserable defeat, Wind Howl's gap with Misty Rain increased to [-] points. It seemed that they would at least stay on the second page of the standings for one more round.As for the situation of those teams in the future, they basically didn't take a close look at them, and only took a special look at Excellent Era - after all, there were a few friends of the same age, so they would always pay more attention.

"Speaking of which..." Gao Yingjie put down his ipad and leaned his head on Qiao Yifan's shoulder, "As it is now, we won't meet in the first round of this year's playoffs, right?"

"Why are you talking about this suddenly?" Touching his forehead lightly with his lips, Qiao Yifan said with a smile, "There are more than ten rounds before the end of the regular season."

"I know. It's just that I haven't moved much in the rankings for several rounds. Think about it." Gao Yingjie yawned comfortably, closed his eyes for a while, and then said, "Next, we must work harder to grab the rankings." separated."

Probably because of sleepiness, his tone was a bit gentle, but the meaning he expressed was very clear.

"Yes, we are the same." Qiao Yifan's answer was also very serious.

With the start of a new week, each team has invested in a new round of training and preparations, but the topic of the media is still around the last round of competition, and more detailed and in-depth summary reports have been published on the page one after another.

Ye Xiu's positive comments on Tiny Herb's team system sparked some discussions, but no matter what, a narrow defeat is a failure, and the outside world often pays more attention to the winners.And considering that Tiny Herb will face five top-eight teams in the next seven rounds, it's actually not appropriate to draw conclusions now.As a result, the few analyzes that appeared in the end all followed a balanced and stable route. According to Liu Xiaobie's words, "Cut, is there any difference between saying this and not saying it?"

Of course, there are more extreme opinions. There are always fans and blacks coexisting in the rich teams, and the posts wishing Tiny Herb to repeat the losing streak in the first half of the season are very popular in the forum.After losing to Xingxin, their record for a period of time was quite disastrous.

However, facing the exact same schedule this time, what Tiny Herb handed over was a much better answer sheet.Except for No.20's 3:7 loss to Blue Rain in the away game, no playoff team like Thunderclap and Hundred Blossoms, or mid-lower teams like Yueyun and Heavenly Swords could stop them from grabbing points. .

Team Xingxin's momentum also maintained quite well. After the second round of No.4 on April 25th, they successfully overtook Team Tyranny and ranked third, which made Gao Yingjie, who had been a little worried all along, a little relieved.

Then with the arrival of May, the regular season of the eleventh season entered the final stage.

Team Samsara still maintains the leading position, but it is no longer as unrivaled as last season.Not to mention Blue Rain's close pursuit, even Happy and Tyranny had a theoretical possibility of winning the championship at the beginning of May.It wasn't until the end of the penultimate round that they won the regular season championship ahead of schedule.

The battle between Xingxin, Tyranny and Tiny Herb for the 270rd, 1th, and [-]th place was over. Xingxin ranked third with [-] points, and Tyranny, with a slight advantage of [-] point, beat Tiny Herb, who was chasing all the way, to fourth.Both Gao Yingjie and Qiao Yifan felt very fortunate about this result. Although a match is a match, it would be a pity if they met in the first round.

The competition for the remaining three quarter-finals is equally fierce.After the third-to-last round, Void, who had performed well this season, locked in sixth place, and Wind Howl and Misty Rain were confirmed to be eliminated. Hundred Blossoms, Thunderbolt, and 219 Degrees continued to fight until the last round, before deciding on the final two positions. belong.In the end, Baihua ranked seventh with 217 points, and the Thunder ranked eighth with [-] points.

Most of the teams after that are in a state of wanting nothing, and everyone doesn't care much about their ranking changes.As for the two new teams in the league, Feiteng had announced their relegation early, but Excellent Era's results were good, and finally ranked 140th with [-] points. Captain Qiu Fei won the best rookie award almost without any suspense.

The matchup pattern of the playoffs was finally settled at the moment when the rankings were decided: in the first half, Samsara played against Thunder, Tiny Herb played against Tyranny; in the second half, Blue Rain played against Hundred Blossoms, and Happy played against Void.

Team Xingxin's first-round opponent, Void, is strong, but considering the 16:4 score between the two teams in the regular season, and Su Mucheng, who is known as the "Double Ghost Buster", more people are still optimistic about the defending champion. go one step further.In comparison, Tiny Herb's situation is much more dangerous, and the veteran team Tyranny is not an easy obstacle to overcome.

The results of these two contests are quite consistent with the support rate of online polls.Xingxin defeated Void with a big score of 11:6 in the away game, and Tiny Herb and Tyranny who came to challenge teamed up to present a very exciting duel, and finally took the lead by virtue of the home court advantage.Next is the second round of the cycle, as long as you defeat your opponent again, you can enter the semi-finals.

After the preparation meeting before the match, Qiao Yifan returned to his dormitory.

He saw the flashing light of the mobile phone on the bedside table at a glance, and knew that it was probably Gao Yingjie who had sent the message, so he hurried over to pick it up to look, and opened the window conveniently.City H in early summer is not too hot. The lotus in the pond in Shanglinyuan Community has just bloomed, and the evening wind blowing in front of you has a particularly fresh and pleasant smell.

"Hello? Yifan."

The wechat started playing, and as soon as Gao Yingjie's voice came out, the corners of Qiao Yifan's mouth turned up unconsciously.

During this period of time, due to the intense preparations for the battle, the frequency of contact between the two has dropped a lot compared to usual. QQ is completely useless. One is that the work and rest time is a bit inconsistent, and the other is that it is inevitable to worry about disturbing the other party. It is the most convenient to leave a message.

"Today's training situation is good. I'm going to practice more now, and there will be discussions later... Fortunately, the flight time is not arranged early in the morning. I don't know if the hotel where I want to stay is inconvenient to watch the game... Well, in short, you guys Come on tomorrow!"

There were several strange-sounding pauses in his speech, probably because he was not used to shouting directly into the phone, and at the end he seemed to have forgotten to press the record button, and muttered to himself in a low voice whether it was recorded clearly or not.

Qiao Yifan didn't hear clearly at first, but after turning up the volume and listening carefully again, he couldn't help laughing.

Wanting to say thank you and give him encouragement, but afraid that inappropriate wording would increase the pressure on the other party, Qiao Yifan thought for a while, and only replied a simple and plain "Thank you, you should work hard in the game", and then silently opened the text message interface, enter the four words "Congratulations on victory", and then save the message in the draft box.

Take this... as a blessing.

However, the result of the game was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Xingxin successfully won the Void, advancing to the semi-finals after Samsara and Blue Rain, but Tiny Herb, who took the lead in the group arena, failed to break through Zhang Xinjie's strict deployment in the team battle, and finally allowed Tyranny to tie the total score.The two sides must pass the third round of the contest to compete for the final semi-finals.
