During the intermission between the group competition and the team competition, the atmosphere in the player stands of both teams could not be said to be relaxed.
As far as the Chinese team is concerned, with a home map to choose from, only scoring one kill point in the group arena cannot be regarded as a sufficient advantage. ——Zhang Jiale was in a particularly low mood. If he hadn't been careless before, maybe,
The Chinese team can still score one more point.
As far as the Russian team is concerned, whether it is the right to choose the map or anything else, if they lose, they lose. No matter how much they think about "waiting for us to win it back at home", at this time, it is impossible to have much good looks. More than a dozen people
They bumped heads together, and in the broadcast footage, you could only see the captain's face solemn, pumping his fist hard from time to time.
Time passed by. Ye Xiu was kicked out again to report the players. With the help of an interpreter, he chatted with the captain of the Russian team at the referee's place and shook hands before coming down. Take a seat here, take a seat there
On the big screen, the playing lists of China and Russia have been printed.
"Players on the Chinese team: Xiao Shiqin, Huang Shaotian, Chu Yunxiu?" Pan Lin became more and more surprised the more he read: "...Zhang Xinjie, Li Xuan, Tang Hao? Oh my, this team competition configuration is quite unexpected! Director Li, what do you think?
"
"It is indeed rare..." Li Yibo mused. "Xiao Shiqin, Chu Yunxiu and Tang Hao all played in a team battle for the first time. The double team did not play this time. Although Huang Shaotian played, Yu Wenzhou
But he didn’t go…”
More than rare, more than unexpected. The word Li Yibo really wanted to say was, actually, bold.
Chu Yunxiu and Tang Hao. In terms of individual skills and tactics, the combat effectiveness of these two people is undoubtedly inferior to the combination of Zhou Zekai and Sun Xiang. The entire team, compared with the national team's previous team battle roster,
The combat effectiveness assessment is all on the weak side. Can it withstand the Russian team, which has won all three games and qualified first in the group?
And Huang Shaotian. Swords and curses, curses and swords. The Sword Master has always been the strongest barrier in front of the warlock, and it was only under the command of Yu Wenzhou that Huang Shaotian had the greatest freedom and the sharpest performance.
Can Xiao Shiqin, who is known for his meticulous command and attention to every detail, make good use of this demonic sword that needs freedom?
What's more, no two of these six people, Xiao Shiqin, Chu Yunxiu, Tang Hao, Huang Shaotian, Zhang Xinjie, and Li Xuan, have ever been on the same team. Huang Shaotian is more of an assassin than a melee fighter in the traditional sense;
Tang Hao, his personal skills and tactics are indeed at the level of a master, and his tactical level... In the tenth season that just passed, that was obvious to all.
It’s unclear how the national team will weigh things up, and Li Yibo has no idea in his heart.
Xiao Shiqin was also silently looking up at the big screen. The Russian team's team battle roster did not surprise him - in fact, when he saw the subtitles scrolling out on the big screen, although his expression did not change, he felt really relieved.
Take a breath of air.
Alexander Ivanovich, battle mage, character name (Xiao Shiqin's mouth twitched) The Nutcracker. Captain of the Russian national team and the top player in the team.
Igor Gazinski, mad swordsman, character name, red cossack.
Anton Kuzyaevsky, boxer, character name, Ivan the Terrible.
The troika of the Russian team.
In the three team matches in the group stage, these three people stood side by side and used violent and unparalleled attacks to blast the opponent's formation into scattering.
In this team battle, the Chinese team's map selection, tactical arrangements, and team training were all aimed at this tactical combination.
He guessed correctly.
Xiao Shiqin stood up.
Behind him, Zhang Xinjie, Huang Shaotian, Chu Yunxiu, Li Xuan, and Tang Hao walked up to him one after another. The six people gathered in a circle in front of the player's seat, and the six hands stretched out one by one, from bottom to top, one after another.
Then, Yu Wenzhou and Ye Xiu also stood up and smiled at each other.
"come on."
"We can win."
Yes.
We - can win!
All the players filed into the stadium. The doors of the competition cabin were closed one by one, and the lights of the stadium were dimmed. In the broadcast footage, only the commentator was still seizing the last moment before the start of the game, speaking faster, and reciting the lineup one by one:
"...Natalia Sabova, gunner, character name Katyusha;
Fedor Zagoyev, priest, character name: First Love;
Alexey Yeroshin, the magic swordsman, whose character name is Hanliu..."
Colored rays of light fall in all directions.
A lush, towering tree rises from the ground in the center of the arena. Its branches and leaves stretch out randomly. Judging from the size of the leaves, it should be a 1:1 reproduction of the real scene. The crown of the tree is spread out, but it has already covered the entire arena.
"Let's take a look at the home field map chosen by the Chinese team... Oh, the big banyan tree." Pan Lin said, while he had already called up the information:
"According to the official information released by Honor, this Big Banyan Tree map is based on a legendary battle of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myanmar. In November 1943, during the counterattack of northern Myanmar, the Chinese Expeditionary Force reached the Dalong River in the Hukang Valley.
On the right bank, an indigenous village located on the main road, Yu Bangjia."
He coughed lightly to cover up his surprise: "The first unit of the New 38th Division was surrounded by the Japanese army. At that time, there were more than 130 people in a reinforced company under Li Keji, relying on the big banyan tree - the one we see now -
—Standing the position for 34 days, we welcomed General Sun Liren’s rescue force.”
"The main trunk of this big banyan tree is more than ten feet thick, and there are more than twenty branches of different sizes around it, which can be hugged by three or four people to one person. Li Keji sent soldiers to set up a lookout post on the tree.
Machine gun nests were built on and under the trees, and more than two hundred trigger grenades were tied to the big banyan tree..."
Such a large banyan tree, with a canopy covering the size of a football field, can actually accommodate a reinforced company for defense for 34 days. It is easy for 12 characters to start a team battle inside.
"Which country submitted this picture?" Off the field, the players and coaches of the national team were also whispering. "It sounds... unexpectedly suitable for mechanics!"
"I don't know, it's not China anyway."
"It is said that for this competition, Honor's branches in each country submitted 2 single-player pictures, 1 arena picture, and 1 team battle picture. There were 64 pictures in total in 16 countries, and 36 more pictures were designed internally by Honor, making up 100
Zhang Xintu... I saw the Chinese team battle map, so the big banyan tree must not have been mentioned by us."
"It doesn't matter who brought it up. Anyway, look at the roots of the banyan tree. It's almost thicker than the wall. There are several layers of branches up and down. You can hide people anywhere. Xiao Shiqin loves this kind of complicated pictures."
"It's just that you can't even charge at the opponent... half of their most commonly used tactics have been abolished, right?"
