The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

Speaking of which, An Ning's guardian angel account card was given to An Ning by one of Mist and Rain's seniors when he retired.

Because it was a female player, the character gender of this account card was naturally female.

An Ning didn't think about using it at that time, but only took it out to play against teammates during training.

Therefore, when Yanyu needed the guardian angel's play style, he used it directly.

Except for one weapon, the other equipment on this account card are all orange equipment. Even this silver weapon is not worth much, so Yanyu did not take away this guardian angel account card.

After the contract expired, the account card was naturally taken away by An Ning.

Team Thunder's opponent in the first round is Team Blue Rain, which was eliminated by An Ning's Yanyu last season.

Compared with last season, the Blue Rain team this season has one less forward.

However, Team Blue Rain's strength has not declined significantly due to this.

The core of Blue Rain is ultimately about swords and curses. As for the others, whether it is Yu Feng or now Lu Hanwen, there is no difference to Blue Rain's overall lineup.

Before the game, the Thunder boss also came to the Thunder team's lounge in person.

"There is no pressure. Winning and losing are normal. You just need to trust your current captain."

The Thunder boss said.

"That's natural. Our Thunder players are all about listening to advice."

Fang Xuecai said carelessly on the side.

"I won't deploy any special tactics for this game. I'll just follow the tactics Captain Xiao left for you. I'm going to use the guardian angel for this game, and I'll leave the command to the academics."

An Ning also said.

In the final analysis, An Ning hasn't gotten along well enough with the entire Thunder staff, so An Ning needs to take a closer look at their playing styles to make adjustments to his own.

"Not getting a clean sheet is victory!"

Dai Yanqi said seriously.

Indeed, for the current Thunder, against a strong team like Blue Rain, as long as they don't get a clean sheet, that's enough.

But the question is, is it really possible for the Thunder to not get a clean sheet now?

The Thunder are not very good at individual group competitions. Previously, when Xiao Shiqin was in the Thunder, he also focused on team competitions.

Therefore, there are actually relatively few single-player maps that Thunder players are good at.

In this game, An Ning wanted to see the personal strength of the Thunder players, so he chose a map for them based on his previous understanding of them.

"Welcome to the first round of Glory in Season 9. I am Chen Dao, the commentator for this game."

"I am the commentator for this game."

The commentators for this Thunder home game were not Pan Lin and Li Yibo, but two newcomers.

This is reasonable. After all, everyone's attention in the new season will still be on the first game of the previous round of championship and runner-up, and Pan Lin and Li Yibo are also going to commentate on Samsara's game against Yi Zhan, who has just joined the league.

The Thunder can only put two newcomers on this side to explain.

"Blue Rain Team's all-star player Yu Feng also transferred to Hundred Blossoms, but this season they promoted a new player Lu Hanwen. I heard that he is a very capable young player, but I don't know if he can become a player compared to Yu Feng. A solid replacement role.”

"As for the Thunder, An Ning, the former vice-captain of the last top four team Yanyu, also transferred to the Thunder. This game is also his first appearance on behalf of the Thunder. I wonder if the Thunder lost their former captain Xiao Shiqin. Let’s wait and see what results we can achieve on the field.”

Commentator Lin Li also introduced the personnel changes of both teams to the audience.

Although An Ning has tried his best to choose maps that the Thunder team players are good at based on their personal tendencies, the gap in strength between the two sides still cannot be made up in this way.

In the individual and group competitions, the entire Thunder only scored one point, and this point was obtained by Fang Xuecai, the vice-captain of the Thunder.

An Ning put Fang Xuecai and Dai Yanqi into the individual competition, intending to imitate Bai Tao and gamble on the opponent's lineup.

But Dai Yanqi's luck was a bit bad, and she directly met Blue Rain's newcomer Lu Hanwen.

"It's over. This kid is a bit too strong. Is he really a newcomer? Compared with him, Zhao Yuzhe is too weak."

Dai Yanqi complained, even forgetting that she was also a newcomer who debuted in the eighth season.

"It's okay. You've worked very hard. You'll find your way back next time."

An Ning said with a smile.

As mentioned before, this game for the Thunder is considered a success as long as they don't get a clean sheet.

"In the team competition, the current captain of the Thunder, An Ning, actually did not choose to use a knight. Instead, he used a guardian angel that the audience had almost forgotten that An Ning can also use!"

The commentator said with some disbelief.

In the team competition, when Yu Wenzhou saw the guardian angel from the Thunder team, he was also stunned for a moment.

After all, before this, all their tactics were aimed at the knight An Ning.

And An Ning suddenly took out a guardian angel, and Team Blue Rain directly punched the cotton.

"It seems that the Thunder Team may not have had time to create an account for him again."

Yu Wenzhou thought to himself.

Naturally, there is no way to change the situation of the battle by using the guardian angel's tranquility.

After a stalemate with Lei Yu for a period of time, Lei Yu and others were directly surrounded by a death door from Yu Wenzhou, leaving only An Ning and Fang Xuecai outside.

But An Ning and Fang Xuecai alone could not turn defeat into victory.

Therefore, in the first round, the Thunder lost to Blue Rain at home with a score of 1-9.

An Ning's debut was naturally a failure.

But Thunder fans did not attack An Ning. After all, how could they scold someone who was still willing to join the Thunder at this time.

During the post-game interview, the media may have expected this result, so they did not make it particularly difficult for An Ning, the newly joined Thunder captain.

Specifically, I simply asked An Ning about the subsequent development of the Thunder team, and An Ning's views on the Asian Games to be held soon, and ended the interview.

After this peace, I also discovered the shortcomings of Thunder.

The Thunder's attack methods are actually sufficient. With Xiao Shiqin supporting them in the middle, the Thunder could often complete wonderful counterattacks.

But now that Xiao Shiqin had switched to An Ning's style of play, it no longer worked.

So An Ning prepared to bring his previous playing style in Yanyu to Thunder.

But changes in playing styles take time, and they also need to be tested by games.

Thunder's opponents in the second and third rounds were Tiny Herb and Samsara. While An Ning tried a new style of play, it was no surprise that they suffered a three-game losing streak, and both games against Tiny Herb and Samsara were the same. Lost to the opponent with a score of 1-9.

The only two points won in these two games was the reuse of the Cavaliers' Tranquility.

Therefore, although some Thunder fans feel disappointed, An Ning has no particular complaints. Thunder fans can only hope that the Thunder will make new moves to recruit players in the winter window of this season and the transfer period after the season.
