Warm Water Spirits

The first day of training began, and the smoke of the World Championships had already silently ignited.

The three teams of M19 go alone. When Gray meets First, he will chat with Jiang Yunqi, but they are both competitors. No matter how much they talk, they will only focus on daily routines and training arrangements. More often, they will be at the elevator entrance. Nodding and smiling, passing by.

The final trek to the finals, the training intensity is higher than ever before.There are all night long.In the training position of the American server and the Asian server, you can see takeaways coming in and out at three or four in the morning.In contrast, the European server seems to really have a feeling of "participation".

They are like clocking in and going to and from get off work at the same time, lively when they should be lively, and excited when they should be excited.On weekends, the Asian server team will be invited to drink and watch football games.Xu Yang once failed to resist the temptation, went out with the Ser-7 team, and came back feeling in a trance, not in the mood for several days.

Later, Boyu figured out the meaning, immediately organized a meeting, and said seriously: "This is a fucking off-court confusion tactic! Give me a little more restraint! When others greet you, just go up and say hello."

Everyone: "..."

However, with these three teams sitting comfortably in front of them every day, no matter how much they could sit still, when the training camp was coming to an end, they couldn't sit still.

The US server has already taken the lead in going to Rome to adapt to the environment in advance.Jiang Yunqi arranged for two days later, and Xu Yang and Ye Xunsheng went one day later.The European server is even later. Barcelona is a tourist city. Judging by their posture, they will not stop until the last day.

The tension lasted for nearly a month. Jiang Yunqi discussed with Liu Zhi and said that he would have a day off tomorrow, but he could not drink or stay out at night.

There is nothing difficult about it, as long as there is a fake.

For Xia Min and Lu Xinglan, although it was the second time to come to Barcelona, ​​it was fun to play. Early the next morning, Bo Yu, Lin Xiyao, and them took the second team of three small dogs to go shopping non-stop.Xue Minghuai has no energy, lack of sleep during this time, he would rather sleep in the hotel playing Nuan Nuan - sleep playing Nuan Nuan than walk.

It was rare for Jiang Yunqi to sleep late, and when he got up at [-] o'clock the next morning, he first sent a message to Pei Zhe in the same area, saying that today was a holiday, and then went to the family group to check the records.

At around [-]:[-] p.m. domestic time, Wen Cuo posted the emoji of Zhang Wenyi vaccinating a tiger crying wildly in the group in the morning.A few minutes later, Pei Yue sent a voice message, asking Wen Cuo if he would come back for dinner at night.After a meeting, Wen Cuo said that he met his former colleagues in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and they might have a get-together in the evening.Pei Yue didn't return.Half an hour ago when Wenwen was out of school, Aunt Song picked her up. The two ate small wontons at the wonton shop in front of the school. Wenwen took a photo and posted it in the group. While eating, she poked Pei Yue and asked her brother if he was still crying.Pei Yue was funny: "It's okay to cry all day."

Jiang Yunqi turned back and forth with a smile, and clicked on the photo of Wen Yi crying for a while.Wen Cuo was very happy to shoot, each teardrop is very big, it can be seen that a lot of effort has been made, and it is extremely sad.

The usual trivial details, which I used to take for granted in the past, are especially missed at this time.

Jiang Yunqi was lying on the bed, Wen Yi's photo hadn't been clicked yet, and his phone vibrated. Jiang Yunqi thought that Pei Zhe had replied to the message, so he hurriedly quit to look, but it turned out that it was Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi asked Jiang Yunqi if he was up: "Ready to go out for a stroll, are you going?"

Anyway, it's all right, just empty-headed, Jiang Yunqi sat up: "Okay. I'll go down in a while." After a pause, he immediately remembered the last person who left the order: "Where is Xue Minghuai?"

Liu Zhi: "Ask him. No reply."

After Jiang Yunqi took two pieces of bread from the restaurant, hurriedly drank half a cup of coffee and ran to the lobby to find Liu Zhi, Xue Minghuai sat alone on the sofa in the waiting area and played with his mobile phone.

"Where's the coach?" Jiang Yunqi stuffed the bread, looked at Xue Minghuai from the beginning, and looked as if he was still awake: "Can it work? Doesn't it mean that I can't walk?"

Xue Minghuai yawned without raising his head: "I'm asking for the route, I'll be leaving in a while." Then he stood up and stretched his arms: "It's okay. After thinking about it, I still need some photosynthesis."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

The three men from the ruthless sniper position said "go out for a stroll" and they really meant "walk around".

When I got up early, it rained lightly, and by noon, there was no trace of water vapor.A group of people wandered to Las Ramblas, and there were more tourists.When approaching the port, the smell of salty sea water blows over your face, and as the temperature rises, there is a warm smell of the sun being baked in the air.

The weather in mid-December, apart from the rain in the morning and the temperature dropping slightly, it will still be a little hot under the sun.The pigeons that used to pace leisurely in the crowd huffed and fluttered, a little crazy.

Xue Minghuai didn't want to leave, so they sat on the bench, facing the sailboat and backing to the pedestrians, chatting without saying a word.After a while, Liu Zhi took out the prepared croissants and bananas from his backpack, and the three of them were easily dismissed.

Xue Minghuai was even sleepier after eating, he turned around and sat sideways on the bench, closing his eyes and listening to Jiang Yunqi and Liu Zhi talking.

"...Grey was there when P11 won the World Championship, right?" Jiang Yunqi pulled up his hood and watched the jagged shadow of the mast falling on the sparkling sea.

Liu Zhi nodded, didn't speak immediately, seemed to be thinking about something, and said for a while, "Grey will be in the sniper position, but he is very strong in all aspects. During the second round, Yi Xuan exploded their command position, and in the second half it will be Gray leading the team." Yes, if it wasn't for the fact that his hand speed was not as fast as Yi Xuan's, I don't know what would have happened."

"There is almost no flaw in the cooperation, and I am used to pre-empting strikes... Tactically, Ye and Ye are two extremes..." As he spoke, Liu Zhiyu smiled: "Just wait and see, Ye Xunsheng's team-breaking style of play can't last. One stage. Every opponent is a chess piece that can be discarded at a critical moment... when encountering Gray's team bombardment strategy-but he should realize it by now."

Jiang Yunqi knew what Liu Zhi meant, and Ye Xunsheng's anxious blind man could also feel it during this time: "Xu Yang told me that the whole YE team hasn't returned to the room to rest much these days."

Liu Zhi hooked the corner of his mouth: "It depends on how long he can charge with this ruthlessness."

Xue Minghuai joined them with eyes closed, talking like sleepwalking: "Xu Yang went to remind him?"

Jiang Yunqi nodded: "Yes. After all, they are all from the Asian server."

Xue Minghuai snorted: "Yan Yu came out of the Asian service."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

Xue Minghuai opened one eye and looked at Jiang Yunqi: "What did Xu Yang say? Change tactics? Is he addicted to being a coach? He came from an Asian server... He might as well form a joint team - Ye Xunsheng will listen His? The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

Liu Zhi smiled, changed the subject, and said in a more relaxed tone: "Is Team Jiang sure?"

Xue Minghuai opened his other eye and glanced up at him.

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

Cooing pigeons circled the benches, eating the fallen crumbs.Very focused, as if the big things are not as important as a toss of bread crumbs in front of you.

Seeing the opportunity, Xue Minghuai moved his hands quickly, and poked its fat back twice. Who would have thought that the pigeon was faster than him, turned over and pecked hard——

Then, in Xue Minghuai's frightened eyes, he continued to turn his head and slowly pick up bread crumbs.

Xue Minghuai was no longer sleepy, and even sat up straight.incredible.

Jiang Yunqi and Liu Zhi smiled without saying a word.

Today, a week later, at this point in time, the five games in the first stage have probably reached the third game.

Jiang Yunqi looked away at the farther sea, the sky was clear and bright, and the end was golden.

"Last year's game against Gray, the game without a winner, was played after I was cornered."

Jiang Yunqi spoke very slowly, paused and said: "Aside from the uncertain hand speed, we have replayed the game so many times before and found some patterns, but I always feel that something is missing..."

Xue Minghuai did not speak.

Liu Zhi frowned: "They formed a team earlier, even earlier than P11. The previous captains of MG were also outstanding, but none of them had more momentum than Gray. I thought of taking advantage of it before, and played with Wei Chengye a few times, but that Such a flexible and proficient layout arrangement is subconscious, without years of accumulation, it is difficult."

"This is not the ability of one person, but the ability of the entire team."

"Every one of you is a top professional player. Even Wei Chengye has a good look. But the strength of a team does not depend on the strongest one." Liu Zhi stopped talking.

Xue Minghuai felt the atmosphere was solemn, smiled and asked Liu Zhi: "Coach, who is the worst in our first team?"

Liu Zhi looked at him: "Whoever asks who is the worst."

Xue Minghuai: "..."

Jiang Yunqi smiled, he knew what Liu Zhi meant.

A person can speak purely with talent, hand speed and responsiveness are all blessings, but for a team, seamless cooperation is the top strength.

On the phone with Pei Zhe at night, Jiang Yunqi sighed quietly by himself: "I feel like I won't be able to win the championship..."

Pei Zhe: "So unconfident? Didn't you say before: I found out that the world is a series of doors, and if I can't open them, I will kick them open?"

Jiang Yunqi choked, and said lazily for a while: "...the leg hurts so much."

The coquettish mode is on.

Pei Zhe just laughed.

This sentence dates back to the day when Jiang Yunqi first came to Barcelona for training.

Jiang Yunqi was ambitious and said——

In the e-sports arena, if the intercontinental champion is a gate, after passing this gate, the next gate is the world champion.

The principles in the world are similar, and Jiang Yunqi concluded, thinking: "I found that the world is a door—"

Pei Zhe felt that the first half of the sentence was quite interesting, and thought it was the end of the sentence.

Who knew that Jiang Yunqi was very pushy: "—If you can't open it, kick it open."

Pei Zhe: "..."

It was hard for him to say anything, so he didn't say anything after thinking about it.At that time, Jiang Yunqi was very excited, chattering, and very expressive.

Thinking of his rhetoric, Jiang Yunqi was extremely discouraged: "I can't kick it anymore, I don't want to kick it anymore."

Pei Zhe reminded: "I haven't kicked yet."

Jiang Yunqi pretended he didn't hear it, he hummed and chirped for a while, and after a while he suddenly said: "Brother Pei's door is easy to kick."

Pei Zhe:?

After Jiang Yunqi finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, so he changed his words: "You don't need to kick, Brother Pei will open it for me."

Pei Zhe said silently: Jiang Yunqi.

Jiang Yunqi continued: "If you don't open it, I will cry for a while. Anyway, I will open it after crying for a while."

Pei Zhe didn't know what to say.

Jiang Yunqi was frustrated and triumphant: "Really?"

Pei Zhe ignored him: "When are you going to Rome?"

The topic turned as if nothing had happened, Jiang Yunqi laughed and asked: "Is it right?"

Pei Zhe: "..."

After staying in Pei Zhe's comfort zone for a long time, Jiang Yunqi felt energetic all over his body.
