[full-time master] rain and snow

Unlike the regular season, the playoffs adopt a knockout system.According to the ranking of the regular season points, the top eight teams will determine the semi-finals based on the sum of the points of the home and away games.

At this point in the competition, every team that is eligible to enter the playoffs, including the new team, is not easy to compete with. Strictly speaking, it is not unusual for anyone to win the championship.The clubs are also well aware of the principle that the armed forces go first without using food and fodder. Therefore, starting from the week of the offseason, the huge fan bases of the major teams and the media mouthpieces that waved their flags and shouted for them took the lead in launching their battles.On the forums, high-rise buildings about keywords such as "playoffs" and "final four" broke through the sky, and newspapers and magazines also praised the masterpieces of their respective commentators.Everyone put in all their energy to fight with each other, as if they could win the match if they won the fight right now.

Among them, Jiashi, the previous champion, was the target of public criticism.Of course, Excellent Era would never admit that it was because they had Captain T.

Blue Rain bumped into Team Hundred Blossoms in the first round of the playoffs, but also failed to escape the siege and interception of public opinion.

The two teams faced each other in the regular season.The first time, Blue Rain was defeated in an away game; the second time, they narrowly beat Baihua at home.Relevant media often diverge their thinking on this. Some think that Blue Rain's new lineup and Fanhua Xuejing combination are worthy of a battle, some comment that Blue Rain's newcomers have encountered bottlenecks and are not in a good state, and some critique the party's analysis of the role data of both parties.Of course, some media tried to interview the club directly, but because the official has been "no comment" and did not give any earth-shattering arguments, all debates can only remain on guesswork and imagination, and every time they end up with "unbelievable words". See you later" as the ending.

The short one-week repair time quickly passed amidst the turbulent speculation from the outside world.However, with the end of the first game of the playoffs, the wind direction of this kind of controversy has gradually shifted from being evenly matched.

Hundred Blossoms defeated Blue Rain again 8.5:1 at their home court.Except for Suokesar winning a round in the singles match, Blue Rain's side had no achievements—Xiao Zhongxue, who was defending the ring in the group arena, was dragged down by double flowers, once again hated by the sword of Luohuachao, and in the team match Among them, Fanhuaxuejing was even more imposing, taking advantage of the home map to severely break the opponent's tactical layout.This time, they didn't repeat the mistakes they made in the regular season that were too hasty to expose the pastor.

As soon as the result came out, the public opinion concerned about both sides of the competition was in an uproar.In the same round of the playoffs, the eight teams played in the four home games successively. They each won or lost, but the score was tied like Blue Rain, and the situation became extremely serious.It doesn't even need to wait until the team competition, as long as Hundred Blossoms can win two single matches in the away game, or just win the group arena, it will be enough to easily win the ticket to the semi-finals.

After all, it was the semifinals of last season, and Blue Rain was reduced to the point where it was almost blown away by a new team. On the one hand, people felt that Baihua, a newborn calf, was still gaining momentum even though Excellent Era lost the limelight. On the one hand, I can't help but feel sorry for each other.

But in the end, it was still Blue Rain himself who was under the greatest pressure.

Same as the first season, the alliance with limited funds concentrated the playoffs in City B in order to concentrate resources as much as possible.A match was held every other day in the same gymnasium that had been rented for two full months. It happened that within half a month the semi-finals would be determined, and the champion and runner-up would be announced in half a month.

The first round of the match between Blue Rain and Hundred Blossoms ended in the second round, and the next round would take another week.Two days ago, the first round between Excellent Era and Tyranny had just ended. The two teams had feuded since last season. The seniors like Wei Chen could still leisurely joke about the tense atmosphere on and off the stage that day. I am full of worries.

The psychological problems of the players are on the one hand, and the formation of troops is another.Apart from the routine replay, the Blue Rain team has been discussing for the past few days how to win the next game. After all, they have the home court advantage, and it is still possible to complete the overtake, or tie the score and enter the playoffs.But the current score disadvantage is really embarrassing. Even if the team competition is not mentioned, they must not only guarantee not to lose in the team competition, but also win at least two single competitions. If any of the conditions are not met, they will not even be eligible to continue the team competition .

The crux of the debate is whether Soksar will play in the team competition.

A group of people headed by Fang Shijing believe that Soksar can at least guarantee a single match. If he is dragged down in the team match, then even if he enters the team match, the original advantage may no longer exist; Everyone, including Wei Chen himself, felt that it was more important to score 2.5 points in the team competition.

"We take advantage of the home field advantage in the team competition, so we don't necessarily lose. But the individual competition needs Soksar to drive momentum, and the team competition also needs you to maintain your strength." Fang Shijing persuaded.

"But we also have the home court advantage in the singles competition. And the team competition may not take too long. We have to believe that Xiaoye won't leave me with too much pressure!" Wei Chen shook his head stubbornly. Then he lowered his voice and let out a sigh, "It's already at this time, you should let me keep the glorious image of the captain in the end, right?"

"What?" the player with sharper ears asked without thinking.Ye Xue also raised her eyes, and looked at her captain hesitantly, but saw him take a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, and said evasively: "It's nothing."

The curling smoke rose up.In order to maintain his health, Wei Chen's smoking frequency had been reduced a lot a while ago, but in the past few days the ash in his room has rapidly accumulated again.Everyone knew that he was nervous, and no one had the nerve to persuade him.

The alliance stipulates that the hotel where you stay has its own Internet cafe, which separates the training space for each team, but the confidentiality of the combat meeting obviously needs to be held in a more private place.Their entire team was crowded in the captain's room. Ye Xue, who had been sitting near the corner, was once again in tears from the smoke in the room, and coughed a few times in a low voice.

Her voice reminded Fang Shijing that the general guard in the team hadn't expressed his opinion yet, and Wei Chen naturally had to consider her opinion.Wei Chen probably felt the same way, so he asked questions by name.Ye Xue was stared at by eight pairs of eyes in the room, and although she was coughing a little due to the smoke, her thoughts were still clear: "I think you might as well think in reverse, if you consider Baihua, how will they arrange their troops for the next match?

"I guess, in the next team competition, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms and Blossoming Chaos, I'm afraid there will only be one of them."

Everyone was puzzled.Ye Xue went on to explain: "We're not sure about their plans, so why aren't they concerned about our lineup? For Hundred Blossoms, since they already have a clear advantage in points, they probably want to seek stability and decide sooner." The winning game is better. From their point of view, with Blue Rain's consistent conservative strategy, Team Wei will definitely play in the team competition with the most points. Therefore, they will increase their chips in the single-player competition."

Not to mention anything else, of course they knew that Wei Chen himself planned to play in the team competition, so everyone in Blue Rain easily accepted Ye Xue's idea.Zhao Ying followed her words and continued to analyze: "So you mean Team Wei should stay in the singles?"

"That's right, so as not to lose two points in the singles match."

Ye Xue's words made everyone suddenly enlightened.But right after, Zhang Xiaoman, who was more flexible, asked another question: "Then what if Blossoming Chaos and Hundred Blossoms both play in the singles competition? What should we do?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward. Everyone realized that they could ask this question because they admitted that their level was not as good as these two juniors. All the "seniors" looked at each other and turned their heads to pretend Unrelated person.Wei Chen frowned, and didn't deny the possibility: "Isn't that how Ye Qiu fought with Baihua back then? He also has Wu Xuefeng, and both of them went to the singles competition."

Honestly it's not impossible.In fact, Berserker sells blood and Hundred Blossoms sells mana. The two core professions of Team Hundred Blossoms are actually not very suitable for the team competition mode. On the contrary, they are more promising in the single player competition.If the opponent really wants to change their previous style, they can only stare blankly.

Facing the expectant eyes of his teammates, Ye Xue didn't have any good ideas.This is already the path with the greatest chance of success.After all, the other side has much more options than they do, but they can only choose a few options.

And that's not the only question.

"What about the team competition? It would be risky without the team leader. Besides, Hundred Blossoms might not be as you wished. If they didn't think so complicatedly, it would still be the same as before, with Blossoming Chaos and Dazzling Hundred Blossoms forming a team at the same time." Play out..."

"Then... I will do my best." Ye Xue took a deep breath and looked around.

But the eyes of the teammates dodged a little.Mostly out of concern for the only girl in the team, he kept his face reserved.Ye Xue smiled wryly in her heart, knowing that they lost the team competition twice in almost the same way in the hands of Baihua. Even though her performance could not be faulted on the surface, the fiasco of the last match was still vivid in her memory, which proved that she did not have a club. It was enough to discourage some members of the team with Lan Yu's energy to turn the tide.

Ye Xue opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.In any case, she herself will always do her best.And these may only be proved by facts a week later.

"Don't worry about it!" Wei Chen made the final decision, "No matter how much everyone prepares these days, this tough battle will be won by him no matter what. I still don't believe it, isn't it just a few juniors? We, Lan Yu, are still afraid. Can't beat anyone!"

Captain Lan Yu's agitated pre-match encouragement set the tone for the week's training.Of course, the hotel’s Internet cafe is not as complete as the club’s, but at this time, no one thinks that there will be any earth-shaking changes in just a few days. Most of the professional players mainly aim to maintain their state, supplemented by analysis of other teams’ games. .

With such a long lineup for the playoffs, of course it is not very friendly to the foreign teams, and it is not even convenient for the reserve players to accompany the team.The only advantage is probably that since they live in several hotels near the stadium, it is much easier to contact the teams that seldom get together on weekdays.But the competition is just around the corner, and unless necessary, not many people would want to visit the house every day.

Of course, Blue Rain and Hundred Blossoms also had a "friendly meeting" between the two rounds.Wei Chen's one-sided insinuations were perfectly resolved by Sun Zheping, who was indifferent. Until the start of the second round, he failed to dig out any effective inside information.

It wasn't until the start of the singles match that Blue Rain finally felt relieved when he saw Baihua's roster - magician Sen Luo, ammunition expert Baihua Dazzling, and summoner Feng Ke.Such a lineup just avoided the worst situation in their consciousness.

"Looks like Baihua is still too reserved. If it's Excellent Era, Ye Qiu won't be in the singles competition if he doesn't keep it all together." Wei Chen felt a little relieved, and before going on stage, he deliberately chatted with the players to adjust the atmosphere.Fang Shijing patted his old friend on the shoulder, and changed the topic: "But maybe, he is so mature and prudent. If their two cores happen to meet you, and you just happened to let one of them die wretchedly, wouldn't it be a case of failure?"

"Ha, what you said makes sense! Then let Xiaoye teach them how to behave in the team competition. There is no guarantee in the arena!"

Wei Chen's self-confidence is not completely unreasonable.After Soksar easily won the first round of the singles competition, as if infected by his confidence, the third round of the singles competition was also successfully won by Blue Rain.In comparison, the one point scored by Dazzling Hundred Blossoms seemed a bit tasteless to Baihua, and the fans of the visiting team could only focus on the team competition.

In the team competition worth 2.5 points, if Baihua wins, they will be able to advance to the semi-finals; if Blue Rain wins, the stalemate between the two teams will continue until the next team competition.

The moment Xia Zhongxue stepped onto the arena, Ye Xue knew that this battle was against the odds, she was only allowed to win, not to lose.

So the next chapter is going to fight again -v-

I wrote it as a three-game two-win system for a while before, but then I slapped my head wrong! At this time, the playoffs are still based on points [Oh.
