Tang Hao had a gloomy face, and the mineral water bottle in his hand was so pinched that it almost burst. In the arena match just now, he was the first to enter, but because of an overly hasty mistake, he only knocked out 72% of the opponent's health.
Forced to step down.
Fang Rui had a look of reluctance on his face. He was almost defeated in the second round of the arena match. The German sharpshooter was upright and steady, and no matter how many tricks he tried, they were useless. When he finally left the stage, Huang Shaotian was left with almost half a head.
And the Sword Master... was helpless.
Huang Shaotian wanted to jump up and yell several times, but was stopped by Yu Wenzhou with a look. Among the other people on the team stage, Sun Xiang sat silently next to Zhou Zekai, while Wang Jiexi and Zhang Xinjie sat face to face, but they subconsciously looked at each other.
Looking at the sky and the earth, they perfectly avoid each other's gaze.
Even Xiao Shiqin and Zhang Jiale, who had previously won the singles competition, could not see the slightest smile on their faces.
Three points.
Only scored three points.
The news just came that the Japanese team lost to the Swedish team with a score of 1:9. The current group stage situation is that the Swedish team ranks first with 9 points, the German team ranks second with 7 points, and the Chinese team only scored 3 points, far behind.
.
The chances of qualifying are slim.
Ye Xiu was the only one who did not take a seat. He stood at the door of the lounge, leaning against the door, taking in the changes in everyone's expressions. After a minute or two of silence, he took two steps forward and coughed lightly:
"Wenzhou, let's go to the press conference together. The others will sit here and follow Xinjie later. Let's meet in the car."
"I am coming too."
"go together."
Two rebuttals came out in unison. Wang Jiexi and Zhang Xinjie stood up one by one and looked at Ye Xiu with disapproval.
They understood Ye Xiu's intention.
The most critical turning point of this team battle's failure was the disconnect between the two of them - Ye Xiu wanted them not to have to face the media. However, the captain of Tiny Herb and the vice-captain of Tyranny, despite the storm and thunder in front of them,
If you are doing something, why do you need to be hidden by others?
Ye Xiu rubbed his brows in annoyance. Before he could formulate a sentence, Yu Wenzhou had already stood up and stood side by side with him. Before he could speak, Wang Jiexi had already turned his gaze to the young captain of the national team.
The magician, who had been the captain of the team since his debut and supported Tiny Herb for eight years, stood upright, with a tall and straight posture, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes as calm and clear as spring water frozen on ice:
"My experience of attending press conferences is at least one year longer than yours."
Yu Wenzhou smiled bitterly. As expected, Wang Jiexi turned to Ye Xiu and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"More than you."
Even though the atmosphere in the lounge was solemn, as soon as these words came out, three or five players couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay." Ye Xiu smiled and made a surrender gesture. He looked around at all the team members from left to right, and saw that everyone was looking back at him without flinching.
Threads of warmth arouse:
"Let's go together."
Everyone filed out. Ye Xiu was the first to step into the press conference, and was immediately blinded by the flash. He had to raise his hand to block it slightly. Seven or eight microphones were already impatiently coming:
"Excuse me, Leader Ye, why do you think the Chinese team lost the first match?"
"Is there any problem with the coordination within the Chinese team?"
"Are you still confident about qualifying for the group?"
"Who do you think is responsible for this failure?"
"you--"
The security guards and staff at the venue almost lined up in a human wall to get the national team members over. Everyone sat down on both sides with the team leader and captain as the center. As soon as they took a breath, seventeen or eighteen hands were raised like a forest.
.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious," Ye Xiu smiled and pressed his palms down: "Come one by one. There are so many foreign reporters here, so we should be better at translating."
Having said that, the first person to ask the question was a reporter from E-Sports Home, and the question he asked was quite satisfactory: "Excuse me, Team Leader Ye, how do you evaluate the Chinese team's game?"
What followed was chaos. Questions from foreign reporters were relatively mild, mostly like "How do you think the German team played?" "How do you think a certain player performed?" etc. As time went by, the questions from Chinese reporters
, became more and more sharp and cunning:
"Excuse me, Leader Ye, is it normal for the Chinese team to lose to the German team today by a huge score?"
"I would like to ask Captain Yu Wenzhou, as we all know, you almost never participate in individual competitions due to hand speed problems, and you are often targeted in team battles. In view of the fact that the national team now has more than one tactician master, do you think it is necessary for you to be selected for the national team?
?"
"I would like to ask player Wang Jiexi, during today's team battle, you and player Zhang Xinjie made a mistake in cooperation, which became the turning point of the team battle's defeat. Is it because of your magician play style? Why did you use the magician play style in the team battle?"
"I would like to ask Captain Yu, why don't we arrange for a player like Wang Jiexi, who has outstanding personal style and poor teamwork, to participate in the ring competition? Is there any problem with the Chinese team's formation for this game?"
"I would like to ask Team Leader Ye, is player Chu Yunxiu feeling unwell today due to excessive mental stress? As we all know, player Chu Yunxiu's style is always soft in competitions. Is she unable to withstand the strong pressure of the World Invitational Tournament?
"
"Excuse me……"
They were bombarded with questions one by one. The faces of the national team players became more and more solemn, but Ye Xiu smiled and held up his chin, looking down at the reporters below as if he were watching a show, with a playful look on his face. Seeing his appearance,
The reporters who were running the Glory Portal in China felt a little nervous. They reluctantly asked a few more questions, and then automatically and consciously silenced them one by one.
"Thank you all for your questions." Ye Xiu's first sentence was quite reliable. All the Chinese media just breathed a collective sigh of relief when they heard him say: "Today, the foreign reporters were relatively calm, and the questions they asked were quite satisfactory.
. But everyone from China, what are you panicking about?"
Who are you panicking? Those reporters who are used to talking about Glory, especially reporters who are used to attending Happy press conferences, their eyes darkened when they heard this sentence, and they wanted to spit out blood on the spot. Master Ye Xiu, Ye
Xiu Da Mo Wang, forget it if you talk nonsense at home - your boss doesn't care about you anyway. Can you be a little more straight when you go abroad?
Do you know that the national team represents the national sports and national character?
The press officer and translator of the Glory Alliance also swayed visibly. The translator Alexander tried to express his words tactfully, but the press officer stood on the side, sweating profusely and winked at Yu Wenzhou - please come to the top! Please help! Please!
Don't let this guy talk nonsense!
However, Yu Wenzhou didn't seem to - or actually didn't intend to receive his look. The captain of the national team sat there with a smile, his eyes blank, as if he only planned to cooperate with the filming today. But Ye Xiu had already finished speaking.
:
"I say, each of us sitting here has lost much more times than you have won. We are not panicking, so why are you panicking?"
He glanced down casually, with a slight smile on his face, and his tone was half serious and half joking - or in other words, you couldn't tell whether he was speaking seriously or openly mocking. However, it just seemed like nonsense.
The tone of his voice made the members of the national team look at each other and their expressions gradually relaxed:
Yes, each of us has experienced failure, all kinds of failures that can be said to be unforgettable. How many years has Tyranny not won a championship? How did Tiny Herb's three consecutive championships be interrupted by Blue Rain? Blue Rain
Yu was once defeated in the finals and had nothing to say, and reincarnation, the dynasty that was within reach, was also cut off by Xingxin's sudden birth...
Even Ye Xiu himself was kicked out by Excellent Era and had to start from scratch and start all over again?
Who hasn’t struggled out of the thorns? Who hasn’t been scarred? So many storms and waves have come through, and everyone has the experience of facing the most painful defeat. Is it possible that today, there will be a group match and a reporter’s interview?
Will it affect morale?
"The Chinese team played very well today." Seeing the reporters, especially the loudest ones, quiet down, Ye Xiu straightened his expression and started talking:
"Everyone tried their best and played their own style. Of course, the game was full of contingencies, so this time our opponents played better, so it's not surprising that we lost."
"Captain Yu Wenzhou is a renowned tactician, and his value is irreplaceable in the national team."
"As for the magician's style of play, the World Invitational Tournament is the highest level competition in the world, and each of us must do our best for it. For this reason, whether it is the magician's style of play or other styles of play, as long as it represents the highest level of personal
The Chinese team will practice high-level skills and styles in all aspects."
"The goal of the Chinese team is not just a victory..."
They were finally able to stand up and leave. Led by Ye Xiu, the fourteen Chinese players lined up in a row, looking straight ahead, and walked away calmly and steadily. However, the media at home and abroad were quiet. Except for raising their cameras to take pictures, no one said anything.
Trying to chase and block.

I wrote this chapter...
They are so nice.
It's really good.
Ye Xiu spread his wings and wanted to protect everyone.
Yu Wenzhou would fight alongside him without any prior communication.
However, Wang Jiexi and Zhang Xinjie are willing to face all accusations calmly. If something happens, we will take it together without your protection.
