[Full-time] Sun Xiang woke up and found that the world was not right

After the end of the thirteenth season, except for Yu Wenzhou, who has been waiting for a long time, the golden generation has basically reached the age to retire.After being eliminated by Samsara in the semi-finals, Xiao Shiqin was asked by a reporter about his retirement. After thinking about it, he said he should wait.

He can clearly feel the decline in his state, and he is very clear that it is time for him to retire. However, after years of accumulation, the Thunder has a group of good players and relatively sufficient background, but Dai Yanqi is also good, Lu Yi Ning is also good, but he still doesn't have the ability to stand on his own.He didn't want to leave behind a Thunder with a decline in grades once he left.

It was that summer that he met Huo Zhaoting.

The 19-year-old boy manipulated his magic swordsman character, and was surrounded by a group of pro players from the Thunder. He was not weak, and even released a field-controlling ult to beat them into a scramble.The team members lamented that the boss was gone again, whether the reincarnation deputy team came in to grab the boss again, but Xiao Shiqin realized that the magic swordsman on the opposite side was by no means the style of Jiang Botao or Liu Hao, and might even be stronger than them.

He immediately sent him a friend application, and after the application was approved, he made an appointment with him in the arena.At that time, Huo Zhaoting's operation level was already able to suppress him who had begun to decline, but he was not as good as him in terms of experience and tactical thinking.After showing the intensity of playing professional games and losing three games in a row, Huo Zhaoting was completely convinced. When he asked him if he would like to come to the Thunder training camp for a trial training, he directly agreed, saying that his university is in Wuhan, and there is no pressure to train.

"When I came to Wuhan after the high school entrance examination, I wanted to come to the Thunder training camp, but unfortunately I couldn't make it that day." He typed a line, paused, and matched it with a smiling face.

"Then let's fix it quickly." Xiao Shiqin also returned a smile.

.

It was a very hot day when Huo Zhaoting came to Leiting. Xiao Shiqin braved the scorching heat and stood guard at the club entrance, watching the handsome boy in a black T-shirt get off Didi, and called Captain Xiao excitedly.

His talent has been developed through training camp, and no one else knows how amazing it is.After Thunderclap's first-choice players were no longer his opponents, Xiao Shiqin sat in front of him and said, "Do you want to try to partner with me?"

It was actually just a routine greeting, limited by his style, Xiao Shiqin could integrate all kinds of players in the team, but even in the World Invitational, he didn't have a particularly wonderful cooperation with anyone.But standing with Huo Zhaoting, the subtle rhythm of that kind of partnership was engraved on his hands as if he was born with it. When he put down the mouse, Xiao Shiqin was still a little dazed.

Has he found his partner?

In the golden generation, who hasn't been amazed by the wonderful cooperation of Fanhuaxuejing, and who hasn't envied those who have soulmate-like partners?Xiao Shiqin had long since given up on this desire, but in the twilight years of his career, the other half that could perfectly complement his flaws, did that just come?

Xiao Shiqin didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The young boy beside him was still immersed in surprise, Xiao Shiqin looked at his face, and suddenly made a crazy decision in his heart.

"Do you want to be a professional player?" He said, "If you want to, next season, when you make your debut, we will partner."

.

Xiao Shiqin is a cautious person. If it was a few years ago, no matter how talented Huo Zhaoting was, he would have kept him in the training camp to observe carefully to ensure that he stepped into the professional arena with a fully mature attitude, but now he has no way to do it again. waited.

Wait another year and he may not be on the field anymore.

Fortunately, although fate made him meet his destined partner so many years late, it didn't let them waste a minute and a second fighting side by side.In the [-]th season, Huo Zhaoting grew at an astonishing speed. He was targeted and studied, but one failure did not affect his state at all, but made him stronger. In other words, after Wang Jiexi and Sun Xiang, another A super rookie who is completely undisturbed by the rookie wall is born.

The people who were worried about Lei Ting's future were finally relieved, and rushed to tell each other that with Huo Zhaoting, Lei Ting would have a bright future after Xiao Shiqin's departure. This should have been what Xiao Shiqin dreamed of, but now his heart was full of bitterness.

Huo Zhaoting's future, and Lei Ting's future, all lie "after Xiao Shiqin leaves".

Although he is a rookie in the [-]th round, because he is older than the rookies of the same period and debuted as a god, Huo Zhaoting actually played better with the players in the previous rounds. Pay special attention to it. After the end of the [-]th regular season, the Thunder ranked second in history. Huo Zhaoting undoubtedly won the best rookie award, and Xiao Shiqin even won the best partner award that he hadn't noticed before. .While the contestants were congratulating, Jiang Botao suddenly interrupted: "Xiao Huo, do you want to consider coming to our reincarnation?"

"That's right, come to reincarnation, brother Xiang will accompany you every day in the arena!" Sun Xiang hurriedly chimed in.

"Come to Excellent Era, let's win a championship together this year, it will be a great honor to win the championship in our debut." Qiu Fei said.

"Tch, this year's champion must be reincarnation. This is the last championship between Zhou Zekai and I, let's see who will take it from me!" Sun Xiang said angrily.

Zou Yuan: "We."

Qiu Fei: "We."

Song Qiying: "We."

Tang Hao: "We."

Lu Hanwen: "We, us, us!"

......

There was a turmoil among the contestants, Xiao Shiqin thought of Liu Hao and Jiang Botao, and couldn't help feeling a little worried, but at this moment, he heard Huo Zhaoting next to him holding a biscuit in his mouth, typing with a crackling sound, and pop-up windows kept popping up his information:

"If you don't transfer, if you don't transfer, I won't transfer anyone who comes to me."

"I am Thunder."

"I'm not going anywhere, I'll just be with Team Xiao."

The contestants were silent for a while, and then Sun Xiang exploded with crazy hand speed and Xiao Shiqin, mocking Ait while he said: "Small things, small things, you can still play for a few years, don't bully Xiao Huo! Let me tell you, you should retire early, don't stop Xiao Huo from pursuing his dream..."

Huo Zhaoting stopped eating the biscuits, and turned into an angry wolf, ready to taunt him back, but Xiao Shiqin grabbed his mouse and turned it off: "Stop talking to him, it's a waste of time."

"Okay, captain, I'll go to training right away." The wild wolf instantly changed into Alaska, obediently following Xiao Shiqin to the training room.

Thunderclap, which ranked second in the regular season, was eventually eliminated by Hundred Blossoms in the semi-finals, and that year Sun Xiang did not fulfill his wish to win the last championship with Zhou Zekai, and Hundred Blossoms won the first championship in team history.After retiring, Zhang Jiale, who returned to teach at Baihua, hugged Sun Zheping and cried out of breath. Xiao Shiqin said congratulations with his old friends, and then left with Huo Zhaoting, just in time to run into Sun Xiang who was alone.

He just came out of the bathroom, Xiao Shiqin stamped his feet and looked at his red eye circles.

That Sun Xiang, who was always domineering and domineering with brilliant blond hair, didn't even straighten his back at this time, and there were some water marks on his raised face reflecting the lights of the arena.Sun Xiang roared fiercely: "You.....what are you looking at! Isn't it the runner-up? We have three championships in our reincarnations, what's wrong with getting No.2 once in a while!"

Huo Zhaoting thought he was mocking Lei Ting for not winning the championship, and was about to retort, but Xiao Shiqin stopped him, stepped forward, and patted Sun Xiang on the shoulder: "Okay, Team Sun, don't watch."

When Xiao Shiqin was in Excellent Era before, he called Sun Xiang Team Sun, but from today on, Sun Xiang is the new Samsara Captain.

He is the captain, he should not be capricious or impulsive.

Sun Xiang seemed very wronged all of a sudden, he lowered his head, and chattered a lot with Xiao Shiqin, Xiao Shiqin had no choice but to signal Huo Zhaoting to go out first, and stay to comfort Sun Xiang by himself.

In the end, Sun Xiang couldn't even speak clearly. He grabbed Xiao Shiqin's hand, and finally said what he was most afraid of. He said small things, and I was really afraid. in my possession.Xiao Shiqin looked at this big boy who had been shattered by reincarnation and was protected tightly, and hugged him gently.

"The day before you transferred to Samsara, you told me that you were afraid that you would not cooperate well with the new players; after the tenth season finals, you said that you were afraid that Samsara would be like the previous Excellent Era."

"But you won the championship for Samsara." He patted Sun Xiang on the back, "You are the best."

The new team leader of Samsara was finally appeased by him, Xiao Shiqin handed Sun Xiang over to Jiang Botao who rushed over, and went out to find Huo Zhaoting by himself, but the young boy didn't know what was going on, and he was so angry that he didn't speak all the way. When he arrived at the airport, he suddenly turned his head: "Captain, am I the best and most powerful?"

"Of course." Xiao Shiqin didn't think about it.

"But you also said that to Sun Xiang!" Huo Zhaoting was even more aggrieved, "You are lying, you must be perfunctory to me!"

Xiao Shiqin couldn't help laughing for a moment, so he hurriedly comforted his little ancestor: "Hey, I lied to Sun Xiang. Zhou Zekai has retired, so I always have to say something to comfort him." He rubbed Huo Zhaoting's hair, "You are the last one. Great."

"No!" Huo Zhaoting firmly denied it. Xiao Shiqin didn't know how he had offended his little ancestor, but he saw the young man's clear eyes staring at him seriously, "Captain, you are the one."

Xiao Shiqin was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and stretched out his hand to help Huo Zhaoting straighten his messy hair.

.

After the end of the fourteenth season, Su Mucheng, Li Xuan, and Zhang Xinjie moved on one after another, leaving only Xiao Shiqin and Yu Wenzhou of the once shining "golden generation".

Yu Wenzhou's hand speed has been maintained at his "peak" level. No one is surprised that he stays behind, but Xiao Shiqin, everyone guesses whether he wants to follow in the footsteps of Han Wenqing and Zhang Jiale to explore the record of standby time , but he knew in his heart that it was this year.

During the summer break of the [-]th season, the Chinese team failed to defend their title in the World Invitational.Frustrated, Huo Zhaoting jumped up and next time he was selected they would definitely be champions. Xiao Shiqin held him down and said you should win the league championship first.

He's talking about you, not us.

Season [-] was Xiao Shiqin's last season, and that season neither belonged to Xiao Shiqin nor Huo Zhaoting.The finals was the fourth championship between Excellent Era and Samsara, and it was Excellent Era who had the last laugh.The mature and prudent Excellent Era captain shouted "Excellent Era is not down" with all the spectators at the post-match awards ceremony, and Xiao Shiqin formally submitted an application for retirement to the league.

On the day he decided to retire, he stayed up all night in the training room. He had already been convinced that he would not leave Thunderbolt, and he didn't need to think about the follow-up development in a hurry. He just opened Glory, logged in to Life Extinguisher, and played all night with his ID hidden.

He turned off his computer at dawn, thinking he was lucky.

At least let him leave the game, there is only one irreversible time, not the dark intra-team struggle like Ye Xiu, not the incurable injury like Sun Zheping, and not like Zhou Zekai, because the league and the club want to build a flawless team. Therefore, there is no room for a slight decline in level, a slight decline in status---even if he has not become a burden to the team, even if he does not lack the courage to face those floods of doubts and abuse.

What's more, he met Huo Zhaoting at the end of his career, his best partner.

Partners are based on fate, such as Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale, Zhou Zekai and Sun Xiang... that kind of fateful and unique encounter, many professional players will never meet in their entire lives.

The decision to retire was announced to the team and the outside world on the second day. Everyone offered their well-prepared blessings and memories as if they had expected it. Only Huo Zhaoting was not calm at all and cried hysterically.Xiao Shiqin hugged him, and comforted him that he would stay in Leiting as a coach, and they would stand together on the field. Huo Zhaoting desperately shook his head, saying that he didn't want to.

"I don't want you as a guide..." Huo Zhaoting sobbed, "I want to train with you, replay the game together, and win the championship together...Captain, I want to stand on the field with you. "

The big boy was so out of breath from crying that he finally got tired and fell into Xiao Shiqin's arms.Xiao Shiqin patted him on the back, thinking that he had just met him.

He wants to fight side by side with him, guide him to grow little by little, smile at him when he wins, comfort him when he fails, he wants to watch him go to the top, and pursue the highest glory with him on the field ...but their glorious careers are just intersecting lines, after a node, there is no intersection.

You were born before I was born, and I am old when I was born.Before Huo Zhaoting reached the peak, Xiao Shiqin couldn't hold on any longer.

.

Huo Zhaoting finally accepted this reality and understood Xiao Shiqin's decision, knowing that if he hadn't been forced to, Xiao Shiqin would have wanted to stand on the same arena with him more than anyone else.The boy who began to draw out his handsome outline wiped away his tears and became the new captain of the Thunder. He led the Thunder to the finals for the first time in his fourth season, and won the second China World Invitational as a member of the Chinese team in the fifth season Champion, won the Thunder's first championship in the sixth season...

And Xiao Shiqin remained in Thunderclap, from giving Huo Zhaoting detailed tactical guidance at the beginning, to giving him a hug representing support, and then to a kiss full of blessings.

Old friends knew his regrets, Sun Zheping and Zhou Zekai felt it very deeply, Xiao Shiqin smiled and said that I am different from you.

He has a bit of weakness that goes with the flow. After accepting the fact that he can't stand on the field with Huo Zhaoting, he began to rejoice that Xiao Shiqin, Xiao Shiqin, was still able to leave the field when Huo Zhaoting made appearances, victories, and championships again and again. The nearest place to watch.

That's enough.

.

Huo Zhaoting's ten-year glorious career has won two league championships, two world championships, and was selected as an All-Star for nine consecutive years starting from the second season. From the perspective of outsiders, it is a career without regrets.

But Huo Zhaoting knew that he had a lingering feeling throughout his life: Why didn't he go to the Thunder training camp in the summer when he was 16 years old?

When he was 16 years old, Xiao Shiqin was still in his prime, and they obviously could have met earlier, instead of like intersecting lines, after a brief encounter, they diverged and never met again.

On the day he retired, he leaned in Xiao Shiqin's arms and made a wish: he wanted to return to the age of 16, and wanted to recapture the lost time.

The voice in the dream said, as you wish.He opened his eyes again, and found that he was standing curiously in front of the Thunder Club, his cousin said that Ting Ting would miss the flight if he waited, but Huo Zhaoting completely ignored him and rushed in recklessly.

He quickly signed up at the training camp, and after a practice session, the person in charge of admissions took him to meet the manager and captain. He looked at Xiao Shiqin's young face, and smiled:

"Captain Xiao, I'm here to find you."
