There is still some time between the end of the individual competition finals and the start of the team competition, but it is only one week.
So actually the entire World Championship schedule is quite long, but even so, two weeks passed quickly.
As for why it's not one week, it's because the middle week is the beginning of the competition, and the thirty-two teams that can finally participate in the knockout rounds are competed for.
However, as one of the eight seeded teams, the Huaguo team can directly enter the knockout rounds, which also gives Lin Xuan and the others a lot of rest time.
But some people are very dissatisfied with this. First of all, it must be Bai Yao and other substitute players. No competition means that they have fewer competition opportunities.
But the other person is Zhong Mingyi, who is different from the others. He felt that his performance in the individual competition was a bit too unpleasant, so he wanted to come to the team competition to find a sense of presence.
Anyway, everyone knows his strength and there is nothing to hide.
As for the Chinese team's opponent on the first day, they soon came out, that is - the Portuguese team.
The captain of the Portuguese team wants to curse directly. What kind of stupid grouping is this?
If they meet other teams, or teams of similar strength, they can still fight for it.
They also know that the Portuguese team is indeed not very strong, and is even considered a relatively weak one among all teams.
So they don't seek too good results, a top 16 or even a top 24 is enough.
Because it is a double-elimination tournament, there is actually a top-24 list, but now that they have met the Chinese team... it means that the situation after the Portuguese team will be a little uncomfortable.
Basically, they can directly play GG. They have finally entered the knockout round from so many teams, but if they meet the Chinese team in advance, they may not go home early.
How can I be in a good mood now?
You must know that the current Chinese team, Carlos team, and the United team are the team of death among many players. Whether it is Magearna, Genesect or the two perverts of the Chinese team, they are all
What they don't want to face.
Especially the Chinese team. After all, both the Unova and Carlos teams only have one pervert, but the Chinese team has two. This is outrageous.
Although Zhong Mingyi did not succeed in defeating Magearna, in the eyes of everyone, it is quite outrageous to be able to beat a legendary Pokémon like Magearna to such an extent. It can be said that the current Chinese team, even if
If only these two are included, they both have a high probability of winning the game directly.
However, when the Portuguese team was already in despair, the Chinese team also started "internal strife". The main thing was that Zhong Mingyi seemed to want to play for fun, but was stopped by Bai Yao and the others.
"If you play, will we still have a chance?"
Cheng Si spoke directly to Zhong Mingyi. Zhong Mingyi was speechless for a while. He also knew that if he played... it was really possible to directly defeat his opponent, but if he didn't play now, he couldn't help it.
ah!
Lin Xuan, who was still on the side, came over and grabbed this guy.
"Okay, okay, just watch from the side. Anyway, that guy Zhang Shouqing doesn't want to play. It's up to you to clear the field when the time comes. The Portuguese team's captain is still very strong."
Lin Xuan had played against the captain of the Portuguese team before in the individual competition. He was an expert in using fire Pokémon, especially the Bone Pattern Crocodile, which was very powerful.
For example, Bai Yao and the others are basically no match. Even if they are in the regular team, Chu Jingyun should be able to deal with him...
In any case, his strength is still very strong, but he did not have good luck in the individual competition, and with Lin Xuan and the others on his side, he has no sense of presence.
So at this time, Chu Jingyun also came up directly, saying that he would also participate in this battle!
Then it was unanimously rejected by Bai Yao and the others. If you go up to whatever level you want, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to go up and... fight.
The main thing is that I will definitely do it next time.
After Long Xiao and Cheng Si argued hard, they quickly determined the candidates for this battle.
First came Bai Yao and Cheng Si, and the last one was Zhong Mingyi.
As for the third one...it depends.
If the opponent is not strong enough and even Bai Yao and the others can beat them, then Long Xiao and the others will go up. If the opponent is stronger, then Chu Jingyun will go up.
Or just ring the bell and end it.
But this can be changed at any time, and when it really doesn't work, you can finally go to Lin Xuan and kill everything instantly.
But Chu Jingyun was very unhappy because he felt that he would have no chance to play.
The main reason is that the opponent's strength is not very strong. Even the strongest captain... feels inferior to him in terms of strength.
Ordinary opponents would probably be killed by Bai Yao and the others.
Facts have proved that Chu Jingyun's idea was right.
The first one to come on stage is Bai Yao. As for his opponent, he seems to be a trainer who uses water Pokémon. As for his name...I'm sorry, Lin Xuan is the champion now, so he's a little confused. I don't like to remember such little things.
The character's name.
So let’s call it Dragon Armor.
But in terms of performance, he was really just like a sidekick. In the head-on battle, he was directly crushed by Bai Yao, so that Lin Xuan had an idea in his mind.
That's Bai Yao and Cheng Si... can they directly sweep their opponents away?
Facts proved that Lin Xuan's idea was correct. Bai Yao himself defeated two players from the Portuguese team, which made Lin Xuan feel that he had underestimated Bai Yao's strength before.
This guy is basically being abused every time he fights against him, but after fighting a lot of big bosses, his strength improves quickly. Bai Yao's current strength is already much better than when the World Championship just started.
progress.
But when facing the third opponent, after all, his physical strength was a bit exhausted, so he left the game directly and replaced him with Cheng Si.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Portuguese team was completely desperate. Although they knew before the game that the gap in strength might be huge, they did not expect it to be so big.
He defeated both of their players with just one substitute player.
If Bai Yao didn't want to be too embarrassed, Lin Xuan even felt that... this guy could still win one, but it was a miserable victory. Bai Yao felt that it might not be necessary, and if the fight continued, Cheng Si would become anxious.
Give me some chance!
Seeing that Bai Yao was still sensible and didn't want to hit a string of threes, Cheng Si was relieved. When he came on the court with high spirits, the referee received a piece of news.
"The Portuguese team admits defeat and prepares for the next game."
"ha?"
Cheng Si was ready to go on the court, but he suddenly got the news from the referee and was instantly confused.
No, did you admit defeat so quickly?
To the audience, admitting defeat is completely understandable. After all, it is different from ordinary sports events. If you encounter a strong opponent, an injury to a Pokémon will still have an impact on the subsequent games.
Not to mention that this team competition still adopts a double-elimination competition system, which means that even if they lose to the Chinese team, they still have a chance to advance in the loser group, so it is better to retain their strength.
The schedule of the team competition is also relatively tight. If the Pokémon is slightly injured, it may affect the subsequent battles.
So in everyone's eyes, it was understandable to do this, but Cheng Si was very unhappy.
That’s not right! Bai Yao’s side has already had a good time, but I haven’t gone up yet!
"There is no way, this is life, it would be better if you went up earlier~"
Although Bai Yao's words sounded comforting, Cheng Si could hear a lot of showing off from them.
After all, they don't have many chances to play as substitute players. That is to say, Lin Xuan and Zhong Mingyi are really strong and can take advantage of the situation. They have more chances to play than other teams, but they are not many.
After this opportunity was gone, there seemed to be no more opportunities in the future.
There was actually not much suspense in the next two games. The Chinese team advanced all the way to the quarterfinals without encountering much resistance.
It should be said that for the Chinese team, the only ones that can be considered as resistance are the Carlos team and the United team.
In fact, only those two Pokémon pose the greatest threat.
As for the opponent that advanced to the semi-finals from the top eight this time, Lin Xuan and the others were a little surprised. It was the Egyptian team.
The Egyptian team was not one of the eight seeded teams, but managed to defeat one of them to enter.
And now, Lin Xuan also knows the hidden strength of these guys during the individual competition.
Lin Xuan met Dier, the captain of the Egyptian team, during the individual competition, and it was Lin Xuan who carried him away.
But during the team competition, this guy showed that he was stronger than before.
First of all, regarding Pokémon, Lin Xuan had known before that this guy's clay giant was very strong and should be a very ancient existence. Lin Xuan felt that many people should have noticed this.
But what I didn't expect was that this guy had three giant clay dolls in total.
And it was not the one Lin Xuan saw at the beginning. Except for the one Lin Xuan had met and fought before, the remaining two giant clay dolls were slightly weaker, but they were not inferior at all.
With this kind of strength, it’s no wonder that he can defeat the seeded teams in the team competition, but there is actually one more crucial point -
These three giant clay dolls are very special, as if they have some special connection.
Most people might not be able to see it, but Lin Xuan could see through it at a glance. The three clay giant giants worked together, and their strength far exceeded that of ordinary five-star Pokémon.
This may be the reason why he was able to win in the previous battle. Lin Xuan was a little surprised when he watched the battle later. Although he thought Dier might have hidden his strength before, he didn't expect that he had hidden so much.
Of course, this is still not enough in Lin Xuan's eyes. Even if this guy can really show his full strength in the team competition, he cannot be Lin Xuan or Zhong Mingyi's opponent.
So Lin Xuan said directly to Bai Yao and the others:
"Whoever among you joins may not have a chance in the future."
The next game will most likely be against the Carlos team or the United Team. It will be difficult for Bai Yao and the others to play again. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the last chance.
Of course, all four people volunteered, but the number of places was limited after all, and they could only be decided by drawing lots.
The final result was just as Lin Xuan expected, which can only prove one thing...never compare your luck with Bai Yao.
"why is it you again?"
Cheng Si, Long Xiao and the others gritted their teeth and looked at Bai Yao. Bai Yao had always been chosen in the recent draws.
"There's nothing you can do about it, you just have good luck~"
Bai Yao looked quite proud, then waved to a few people and walked towards the battlefield.
However, at this time, Lin Xuan did not look towards Bai Yao, but turned to talk to Zhang Shouqing.
"You guys... it's about time you made some efforts, right?"
"Uh... Okay, then I'll fight that guy."
Zhang Shouqing scratched his head and said, and the "that guy" he mentioned was obviously Dill.
He also felt a little embarrassed. After such a long time, he really didn't seem to be of any special use. He might as well work a little harder and not be too fussy.
Cheng Si and others on the side were stunned for a moment after hearing Lin Xuan's words. Long Xiao was the first to say:
"Speaking of which...didn't you use your full strength during the individual competition?"
"Uh...it doesn't matter. I can't get any evidence anyway. In fact, during the team competition, it didn't seem to make any difference whether I was there or not?"
After Zhang Shouqing spread his hands, he said that before participating in the World Championships, he actually did not expect Lin Xuan and the others to be so strong. He originally thought that he might be coming to the rescue, but later found out that he was not needed and started to want to show off.
.
No, it’s not that I wanted to, but it just started to show up, but today I am really embarrassed to continue to show it off.
And what he said also made Cheng Si and others beside him wake up. It turned out that this guy was really hiding his strength before!
if that is the case……
Everyone looked at Chu Jingyun.
"Look what I do!!?"
Chu Jingyun said that he was going to lose his temper. I am the only one who co-wrote and is a waste, right?
The Egyptian team is obviously stronger than the Portuguese team they met before, but the strength is only due to captain Dier. The strength of the other team members is still relatively average, which is about the same level as the Portuguese team.
But one thing that is better than the Portuguese team is that they did not choose to surrender!
So much so that Zhang Shouqing still had to go on the court to fight.
When he saw Zhang Shouqing, Dill was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly.
The person he wanted to fight was Lin Xuan, but Zhong Mingyi would be fine if he couldn't.
His main purpose for fighting this battle was to prove his strength. His simple defeat to Lin Xuan before was not his true strength!
But now Lin Xuan doesn't even play, but it doesn't matter, as long as I defeat this guy, Lin Xuan should still play, right?
