know this [Ye Zhou]

At the end of the regular season of the sixth season, Team Samsara ranked fifth in the standings and qualified for the playoffs for the second consecutive year.

Their opponent in the first round was the fourth-ranked Team Tyranny.It can be foreseen that this will be a very difficult battle.Tyranny, who had been eliminated by Excellent Era for three consecutive years, but finally overthrew the Excellent Era Dynasty with his own hands, was without a doubt the most tenacious team in the league, not one of them.

For breaking through the first round, Samsara Shangxia still has considerable confidence.Compared with last year, Zhou Zekai's skills are more proficient. The old players have experience in the playoffs. As for the rookies, Jiang Botao, who was transferred, played the role of team glue very well. Lu Boyuan, who was promoted from the training camp, also performed steadily. What's more, Zhou Zekai's commercials brought continuous financial support, and the retired player Tong Lin, who knew the team well, created the new Yinwu Wildfire and Broken Frost tailor-made for Zhou Zekai.In terms of strength on paper, this Samsara team is much stronger than last season's first-time playoff team.

Regrettably, although Samsara tenaciously defended its home court in the first round, it failed to extend the victory to the second round. In the end, it lost by a small score and fell to the first round of the playoffs again.

In the waiting room after the game, the atmosphere was very depressing.It is always a pity to miss the victory that is within reach.Especially in the cruel mechanism of the playoffs, where the winner advances and the loser is eliminated, the failure by the slightest difference is even more unforgettable.

Fang Minghua didn't speak. Although he had a high prestige in the team, in terms of Glory skills, he was only average among the golden generation.In this game, he was completely at a disadvantage in the contest with Zhang Xinjie of the same period.Even though he was very aware of the fact that he was not a top god, he still couldn't feel good about it.

Jiang Botao, who was always good at activating the atmosphere, couldn't say anything to comfort him.No matter how human he is, he's just a first-year rookie, and this is his first trip to the playoffs.

The one who finally broke the silence was Zhou Zekai.

He only said succinctly: "Tuition fees."

Everyone understood what he meant.Being in Team Samsara, he must be familiar with Zhou Zekai's past.When Zhou Zekai first took over as captain, even the local media were not optimistic about it, thinking that Samsara would be ruined for a few years to pay tuition for training future leaders.Although Zhou Zekai's strength was unexpected, he couldn't force himself to rise to the top because of this. It would be nice to be able to advance one step at a time a year.

Take today's failure as the tuition to win the championship in the future!

Everyone cheered up, and with expectations for the future, Team Samsara started their summer break.

The semi-finals of the playoffs were Blue Rain vs. Excellent Era, and Tiny Herb vs. Tyranny.As a result, both Excellent Era and Tyranny were eliminated in this round, repeating the mistakes of the previous year.In the finals, Team Blue Rain relied on the outstanding performance of season MVP Huang Shaotian and best rookie Yu Feng, and under the command of Yu Wenzhou, one of the four tacticians, defeated defending champion Tiny Herb to win the championship and became the fourth champion in league history. clan.

After Excellent Era's three consecutive championships, neither Season [-] champion Tyranny nor Season [-] champion Tiny Herb successfully defended their titles. This fully proved the difficulty of defending the title, and it also confirmed the terror dominance of the original Excellent Era team.

However, it was an indisputable fact that Excellent Era's competitiveness was declining.Today it can still rank among the strong teams, but it is just an ordinary member of the strong teams, and it no longer has the detached status it once had.

Although it was summer break, Zhou Zekai, who had the highest commercial value in the league, could not get any rest at all. He worked hard every day for publicity, which was even more busy than during the competition period.

Occasionally, when his hands were itchy, he would type on One Autumn Leaf on QQ and ask for a round. Most of the time, Ye Xiu would reply very slowly.I thought he was keen on robbing bosses again, but one day Zhou Zekai went back to the club to discuss, and met people from the guild department while eating in the cafeteria. He heard from them that One Autumn Leaf, who actively helped Excellent Dynasty rob bosses every summer, rarely appeared this year. I don't know why.

At night, when he returned to the hotel to rest after completing the filming mission, Zhou Zekai thought about it and sent Ye Xiu a message: "What are you busy with?"

Ye Xiu replied the next day: "Take care of the children in the training camp, there are a few very good seedlings."

Of course, Zhou Zekai is very clear about the operation of the training camp.Professional players are not directly responsible for the training camp, and the coaching and communication are also more frequent for the substitute players, and the frequency of the main players will not be too high, let alone the leader of the first team.

Reminiscent of Excellent Era's current predicament, did Ye Xiu bring his idea to the training camp because he couldn't see anyone in the Excellent Era team or in the free market to solve the problem?

Then one day, Ye Xiu called Zhou Zekai on QQ and asked him to open a small account to try out the excellent seedlings from Excellent Era's training camp.

Zhou Zekai happened to be free, and he was unavoidably curious, so he agreed.

The opponent uses a battle mage.Zhou Zekai won three rounds in a row, and the other party sent a message: "How is it, kid, isn't it good? Is there a bit of your demeanor?" It seems that they have changed.

Zhou Zekai replied honestly: "Yes."

That child's technique is still immature, and the gap with Zhou Zekai is of course huge. What is rare is that he has a solid foundation and spirituality, and even in the face of an opponent with an overwhelming advantage, he can still try to find a solution without arrogance or impetuosity.After three rounds, he can feel that he has improved in each round.

It's not that he looks like Zhou Zekai, but probably every professional player who can successfully climb to the top must possess such qualities.

Excellent Era training camp has such newcomers, the future is worth looking forward to.

After the start of the seventh season, Tiny Herb, Blue Rain, Hundred Blossoms, and Samsara firmly occupied the top four in the standings, and their positions rose alternately.Both Excellent Era and Tyranny had their worst start in history.Among the top three players in the early stage of the league, Royal Wind has completely fallen behind, and the results of Excellent Era and Tyranny are also declining year by year, which is unavoidably embarrassing.

In the Rookie Challenge of this year's All-Star Weekend, Zhou Zekai received the nomination challenge from a rookie for the first time.

The challenger was from Team Excellent Era. His name was Wang Ze. He was a rookie who made his debut this season. He was also a sharpshooter by profession.

Could this be the good seed Ye Xiu found in the training camp?

This thought only flashed for a moment, before it was denied by Zhou Zekai himself.

Zhou Zekai watched Excellent Era's game videos every week, and he was sure that there were no sharpshooters in the lineup.If it's really the potential rookie that Ye Xiu likes, he won't give up opportunities to play for half a season.

Zhou Zekai and Xinxiu came on stage together, the host first interviewed Xinxiu and asked the reason for choosing to challenge Zhou Zekai.

Wang Ze replied: "I want to be the best sharpshooter, and I have to beat the gun king."

The audience cheered and clamored.After all, the Glory competition is a competitive competition, and the audience naturally prefers the tension of swords and swords over the harmony and harmony.

The host turned to Zhou Zekai, who said quite calmly, "Come on."

There was no explosive answer, but up to now, no one would be naive enough to expect an explosive answer from Zhou Zekai's mouth.

The duel was over in about half a minute.There was a lot of applause from the audience, probably because the scene looked so gorgeous.The commentary concluded that this was a confrontation between two gorgeous sharpshooters, and in the end it was the seasoned Zhou Zekai who was the winner.

But Zhou Zekai knew it was not like this.His flamboyant style of play is in the service of winning, but Wang Ze is overly pursuing the flamboyance of the scene, so there are many redundant operations. From the perspective of a master of his level, he is full of flaws.

In the post-match interview with the host, Wang Ze seemed unconvinced, and only said: "I will make progress."

Zhou Zekai still replied calmly: "Come on."

He returned to the Samsara seat, and Fang Minghua next to him commented: "I always feel that the rookie is quite conceited. In terms of ability, he is far behind Xiao Zhou, but judging by his posture, it seems that he really thinks he can beat Xiao Zhou."

Jiang Botao smiled and said, "It should be an illusion, right? After all, he was brought out by God Ye, so it's not like he doesn't have self-knowledge to this extent."

Zhou Zekai didn't speak.

What Fang Minghua said, as the person involved, of course, he feels more clearly.Excellent Era's rookie sharpshooter was indeed overly conceited.

He turned his head to look at Excellent Era's seat.The number one beauty in Glory, Su Mucheng, did not receive the treatment of being a star, and sat alone on the far left.The rest of Excellent Era's team members were sitting around vice-captain Liu Hao, and Wang Ze, who had just stepped off the stage, was eagerly talking to Liu Hao.Liu Hao looked up, just in time to meet Zhou Zekai's eyes, immediately hid the trace of cruelty in his eyes, smiled and nodded in greeting.

Zhou Zekai frowned slightly.
