For Love of the Game

177. Maple Moon VSShowTime

The next day was the match between Maple Moon and the British ShowTime team. Zhou Jing looked better than yesterday, but her stomach still felt bad, and she only ate a little oatmeal for dinner.

Because I haven't eaten much for two days, I have lost weight visibly to the naked eye, and my movements of putting on clothes have also slowed down a lot.

Zhou Ning helped her carry the bag, and said with concern, "You will have a rest when you arrive at the stadium after signing. We have won two games in a row and the points are at the top. The fox said that if there is no problem at night, you will not need to play. Take care of your body first. , I still need you in the next game."

Zhou Jing nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if I play."

Zhou Ning said seriously, "Xiao Jing, you are not in good shape, and you will only drag others down when you play. This is a team competition. If you can't guarantee your performance, you might as well give up."

Zhou Jing lowered her head slightly.

Zhou Ning rubbed her head, "Okay, don't worry. The club will take care of it. You have to trust your teammates and believe that we can win."

"Ah."

When the two went out, the team's car was already waiting at the door. Zhou Ning helped her open the car door but found that Haixing was just sitting outside.

He was stunned when he saw Zhou Jing, "You, don't you usually take the co-pilot?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that Zhou Jing was still sick. Zhou Ning probably wanted to sit with her and take care of her. Just as he was about to move his seat, he heard Zhou Jing say "Oh", and turned and opened the passenger's door.

Hai Xing felt panicked with embarrassment on his face, and looked up at Zhou Ning with an apologetic expression on his face.

Zhou Ning smiled helplessly and sat beside him.

Shen Huai asked, "Zhou Jing, how do you feel?"

Wearing a black disposable mask, Zhou Jing looked even paler, "It's much better, Brother Huai."

Song Xueyang said, "If you think you can play, just let me know."

Zhou Jing really wanted to say that she could play at any time, but when she thought of Zhou Ning's words, she just let out a muffled "hmm".

Support is not only to protect teammates and help friendly output, but also to control the rhythm of team battles. It is a signpost when teammates are hesitant, and a cold water when output is hot.If the support's mind is not clear, the teamfight of the whole team is over.

After the live report, they waited in the backstage lounge, and Song Xueyang said some precautions for the game.Zhou Jing listened very carefully. She didn't participate in the training for the past two days, and she was afraid that she might not know what had changed.

Hai Xing stood opposite, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Jing.

She was wearing a women's team uniform specially customized for her by the team, and Zhou Ning's team uniform coat was on her legs. Her face was still pale, and her lips did not have a trace of blood. Under the table, the stomach pain should have started again.

Hai Xing was a little worried, how could he compete like this, and said that he was much better, so he was trying to be brave.

"Xingxing, what did I just say?"

Song Xueyang asked him abruptly, and everyone's eyes fell on him immediately. Hai Xing's gaze, which was too late to look back, just collided with Zhou Jing, and he quickly turned his head away, hesitating and speechless.

Song Xueyang pinched the flesh on his face, "Zhou Jing, a sick patient, listens so seriously. You eat more than anyone else, sleep better than anyone else, and dare to desert? Don't you want to win?"

Starfish groaned in pain, "Is it okay if I was wrong? Don't pinch my face, it's already big."

Only then did Song Xueyang let go, and Hai Xing glanced at Zhou Jing guiltily, and was relieved when she saw that she didn't look at him again.

"Louis is a very good healer. We can't waste their time on them. They must be resolved quickly. The ShowTime will really test our guerrilla warfare."

Everyone expressed their understanding, Song Xueyang glanced at the time, "There is still half an hour before the game, let's take a rest at last."

Everyone gathered together in twos and threes, saying it was a rest, but they couldn't relax when the game was about to start, they were just chatting about how to play.

Shen Huai asked in a low voice, "What happened to Xing Xing and Zhou Jing?"

Song Xueyang took a look, Zhou Ning was beside Zhou Jing asking for warmth, Shi Yi stayed with Fan Jingming, and Hai Xing stood far away in the corner, pitifully, looking at Zhou Jing from time to time, wanting to speak And stop the appearance.

Song Xueyang said indifferently, "Aren't the kids arguing? Just play a game together."

Shen Huai: "..."

After 30 minutes, ShowTime contestants entered the arena, and the audience couldn't wait and screamed frantically.

"Green!" "Prince! I love you!" "Come on Captain Green!"

The atmosphere is not at all suppressed when the Live team is playing.

"Wow~"

"Wow!"

The exclamations of Yao Jun and Niu Niu became more and more exaggerated.

"Captain Green's popularity is really unmatched! I remember that he was already well-known when I retired. At that time, his skills were not as good as now, but he already had the title of Prince of Ice."

Green has a handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, and his gestures are full of gentlemanly demeanor, just like the British men in fashion magazines.His fans are all over the world. In recent years, his game level has been continuously improved. The ranking of world magicians has stabilized at eighth, second only to Myko of the Live team. His popularity has also been rising. Now he is recognized worldwide. Professional players whose skills are all online.

Before the screams on this side stopped, there was a louder shout from the other side.

"Wing!" "Snow God!" "Ning!"

The voice was not as neat and loud as that of the British team, but it was full of momentum, and it seemed to overwhelm the ShowTime fans.

Tangerine smiled, "When we get to Fengyue, everyone doesn't know who to follow. The fans are a bit divided."

Every player in Fengyue is outstanding in appearance, and their level is not bad. Coupled with the outstanding performance in the first two games, they have gained countless fans in just a few days, and they have become the team with the most limelight in the group stage.

Yao Jun also smiled, and said sincerely, "Maple Moon's transformation this year has been very successful. It has signed three newcomers, Shen Huai, Shi Yi, and Zhou Jing, which has improved the overall level of the team, and its popularity has also increased a lot. I think no matter whether Maple Moon is in No matter what ranking they got in this year's World Championship, they have already established their reputation. Now, for netizens who follow the World Championship, you may not know ShowTime, but you must know Maple Moon."

Niu Niu added, "Yes, and even if you don't know Fengyue, you must have heard the names of Wing and Snow. It can be said that Xueshen and Yushen are Fengyue's golden signs now, and they are the top names of other teams anyway. It cannot be imitated."

此时大屏幕上已经抽取了当晚的比赛模式，橘子连忙打断他们的话题，“现在模式抽签结果已经出来了，五场比赛的顺序是6V6、6V6、1V1、2V2、2V2，第一场6V6的模式是元首之战。哇，模式有点集中欸。”

Yao Jun also got into the mood and analyzed, "Two 6V6 starts are the most difficult kind, because 6V6 is very energy-intensive, and it is inevitable that some players will continue to play the third game after two consecutive team battles. It seems that today It's not easy at night."

A few minutes later, the captains of both sides submitted the list of players. ShowTime's occupations are ice magic, holy light, mad battle, guns, epee, and boxer, while Fengyue's side is full of players except Zhou Jing.

Yao Jun was taken aback when he saw this list, "Huh? Fengyue's side... Zhou Jing won't be playing? 6V6 support won't be available?"

Tangerine said speechlessly, "Brother Jun, don't you read Weibo? Zhou Jing is not acclimatized and has gastroenteritis. He was still on the water before he came today."

"I really didn't pay attention..." Yao Jun touched his nose, then frowned, "If Zhou Jing doesn't play, this match will be difficult. Maple Moon's guerrilla warfare relies heavily on Zhou Jing's aura to burst out instantly. Now Without the white spell, the output of the whole team can be said to be reduced by 1/3, so it will be a little difficult to think of a set of seconds."

Niu Niu said, "Especially ShowTime has a very good Shengguang player Louis. Louis is currently the third player in the world Shengguang professional ranking, second only to Yunshen who is ranked second. We know the team battle of the ShowTime team There is no pure meat in the lineup, epee and boxer are the most fleshy, but because of the presence of Louis, they have supported the front row of the ShowTime team. It can be said that Louis is very powerful in adding blood. Coupled with Captain Green's team control, Fengyue's game was not easy."

Yao Jun nodded, "Yes, it's not easy to fight in the first place, and it will be even more difficult if Zhou Jing doesn't play."

Netizens in the live broadcast room didn’t feel much. For commentators, “Don’t talk too much, so as not to slap you in the face” is their mantra. If you don’t make the situation more serious, what’s the point of the game?Maple Moon is a team that can even beat Live, with Snow God and Yu God present, they don't think Maple Moon will lose at all.

The map this time is the Giant Cafe, the attribute is rain, the fire attack is weakened by 5%, and the thunder attack is strengthened by 5%, which is a small advantage for Maple Moon. The countdown is over, and the two sides landed at the birth point.

The birth point of the ShowTime team members was behind the cashier on the first floor. They quickly determined that Boxer was the head of state. The birth point of the Maple Moon team members was under the bookshelf on the second floor. Because Zhou Jing did not participate, the head of state was still being confirmed.

Zhou Jing stared nervously at the screen, and after a while, a head of state symbol appeared above Song Xueyang's head.

"Huh, Snow God is the head of state? Snow God...is fine too." Niu Niu thought about it but couldn't think of a more suitable candidate.

Yao Jun explained, "Fengyue has no choice. The head of state has only one life. First of all, he must have a certain degree of frankness, and secondly, he must be flexible so that he can save his life at critical moments. Zhou Jing is of course the best candidate for the head of state. She has no If you want to play, the epee is actually a good choice. But Zhou Ning is Fengyue’s front row, and it is very dangerous to charge forward. If he is the head of state, it will be difficult to use it in a group.”

"Secondly, a risky style of play like Yushen doesn't work. Xiao Ming can zoom in and sacrifice himself to protect his teammates at critical moments. It's a pity for him to be the head of state. Starfish's guns have short legs and no life-saving skills. The rest The only ones left are Shi Yi and Snow God, and if you choose one of the two, Snow God has a longer range and is safer."

Orange said worriedly: "But the sniper itself is also very fragile, and the possibility of being cut by the enemy is too low. Snow God must be very careful in this fight."

Zhou Jing's figure flashed across the big screen, and the worried expression in her dark eyes could be seen at a glance.

This time Song Xueyang did not take the initiative to attack, but led his teammates to lie in ambush behind the bar at the stairs, while he picked a bookshelf that was farther away.

Soon Pablo from ShowTime came up from the stairs. He was the only one at first. Baotuan followed, Fengyue people hid less than ten meters away from the stairs, but no one moved.

Green led people to search the second floor little by little. Seeing that they were getting closer to the bar, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the hall, and the fans at the scene screamed excitedly. A bullet precisely passed through all The obstacle hit Green, who was at the end of the line!

Like an order, Fengyue's team members rushed out at the same time.

Zhou Ning took the lead in jumping out from behind the bar, and with a move of Chopping Mountain, he directly sent the mad war and epee in the front row into the air. Green blew to Zhou Ning's knife edge!

Zhou Ning used Zuigejian to silence, Haoyue cut the mark, and then made a big move-Sword Dance Qiankun!Starfish also quickly made a hunter's mark and shot rapidly, hitting Green to death in two or three hits. Louis thought about it and was stopped by Shi's backhand with the force of nature.

Green was accused of being unable to use his skills at all, Shi Yi gave a move of Yushui Jue, Thunderbolt, and Haixing took the first head of the night with one shot.

--first drop of blood!

——Star killed ice!

Yao Jun shouted, "Fengyue's wave is beautiful! Shi's big move messed up the formation. Zhou Ning controlled three of them by himself, creating an excellent output environment for the stars! Green died without doing anything, and this wave of fives and sixes can be fought!"

Pablo and the epee, who were released from control, jointly launched an attack on Zhou Ning. Fan Jingming and Hai Xing also came up to help. Starfish was saved from the danger of being dueled.

Zhou Ning put in all his strength, and his output was almost as high as that of the Berserker who had used his ult. Both of them had used damage reduction, and they fought regardless of opponent. full.

Shen Huai took the opportunity to rush into the enemy's camp and controlled Pablo with a move of Dementia. The Gunner of ShowTime immediately threw a move of Bouncing Shot at him. Too many, he didn't have time to make a combo, but was beaten back instead.

Green said patiently, "Louis hold on, wait until I come back to life."

Louis responded, and his subordinates quickly gave himself a healing buff, and another single blessing of light brought back the blood volume of the epee in the team.Louis takes the strong healing route. Although the CD is long, the amount of milk is very powerful. Two or three skills can restore the blood of teammates to full. In time, he will be able to restore all the blood of his teammates to full!

Yao Jun said worriedly: "Now both Ning Shen and Xiao Ming are held back, Shen Huai's full health damage is too low, no one can cut to the back row in this wave, it all depends on Xueshen, can Xueshen take a sniper shot here to change the situation ?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xueyang's gunshot rang out at the same time, and the target of this gunshot was Louis!

——First pretend to hit them in the front row to consume Louis' skills.When I shoot, you immediately set fire!With Louis in this game, the team battle cannot be played.

Song Xueyang said so before the match.

Therefore, when the gunshot echoed in the arena, everyone in Maple Moon immediately changed their targets. Zhou Ning turned on Yufeng Xing, and cut straight to the front of Louis, swung the huge sword sharply—Splitting the Mountain, Drunken Song Sword!

Shi Yi also quickly caught up with the skills, and the wind and rain came together, and the five thunders struck the top!Shen Huai took the opportunity to make a combo of death marks, everyone's damage is not bad, in normal times Louis would definitely go directly to Hades, but this time without Zhou Jing's halo, his blood volume is still 20%. But Fengyue's skills are all finished.

Fan Jingming reacted the fastest, and immediately chose Louis—duel!

The golden ring opened instantly, Louis was forcibly teleported into the ring, and Fan Jingming swung his hammer and charged forward without hesitation.

"Fengyue fought very decisively in this wave! Let the enemy relax their vigilance first, thinking that I am going to kill you in the front row, as long as you heal and take a step up, I will immediately serve you with a big move! It's just a pity, if Zhou Jing is here, Just now you can take Louis away directly! Now you need Fan Jingming to amplify the damage."

Louis quickly buffed himself with a buff that regenerates blood every second. With a move called Blessing of Light, his blood volume increased to 50%. The moment Fan Jingming rushed up, he put himself in a "swallowing" state.

Devour, 30% of the damage received is converted into blood and mana.

After Fan Jingming continued with a series of moves, Louis' blood volume only dropped by 10%, but his mana volume returned to half!He moved well and had enough milk, Fan Jingming couldn't impress him at all.

Song Xueyang soon discovered this problem. He knew that Louis's healing was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be able to stand against so many people's skills.

Song Xueyang immediately changed his strategy, "Xiao Ming hold on, let's start a group."

Zhou Ning rushed forward resolutely, cutting straight at the enemy's guns, Haixing and Shiyi followed closely behind, ShowTime's epee of course refused, with a slash of the mountain and knocked the starfish running behind into the air, Pablo seized the opportunity to shoot Great—duel!

Almost at the same time, a bullet wrapped in a cyclone also hit him at high speed, barely hitting Pablo just before the duel ring was formed.

—Armor-piercing shells!

The audience at the scene gave out a burst of warm cheers.

Niu Niu said, "It's not easy to hit this armor-piercing bullet. Pablo's HP is only 50% left, while Starfish still has 80% HP. It's hard to say who will win!"

At the beginning of the duel, Starfish immediately used the big move "Furious Cannon Fire". At the same time, the hunter marked Pablo, and every basic attack under the Furious Cannon Fire would knock back the enemy for a short distance. Pablo's big move War Fury had just been used up. , It is also a bit difficult to fight starfish without the control-free state.

Hai Xing evaded Pablo's storm hammer with a thrilling right roll, and his backhand elastic shot knocked him back to the edge of the ring.

Yao Jun praised, "Starfish's positioning level has indeed improved a lot compared to the national competition. Positioning is very important for gunners, especially for a lineup like Fengyue that lacks back-row protection."

He didn't say a word, Niuniu and Juzi exclaimed in unison.

It turned out that outside the ring, ShowTime's boxer grabbed Shi Yi with a move of Huanglong's probing claws. The angle of this move of Huanglong's probing claws was extremely tricky. Zhou Ning blocked Shi Yi and didn't notice it at first. When he noticed it was too late, he didn't even notice it. He didn't have any skills to escape quickly, but at this moment, an assassin in black suddenly started to sprint and rushed to him, taking the risk and taking the blame for himself, and was directly caught by the boxer into the crowd!

Orange said, "Feather God actually helped Eleven block it!"

South Korea's commentator was also shocked, "Huanglong's ballistic speed is very fast. Wing is driving fast and it is difficult to find a position, but he actually helped his teammates block it!"

"Star was dueled, and Eleven is the only main damage output in the team. If he dies, this round of team battles will undoubtedly be lost! For Wing, this is actually a good way to quickly reduce the blood volume!"

ShowTime's boxer didn't intend to catch Shen Huai at all, but it was impossible to let him go just like that after he caught them all. They immediately focused their fire and smashed all kinds of skills on him. Shen Huai's blood volume almost dropped in the blink of an eye. dropped below 10%.

Green yelled, "Punch out his redemption!"

Redemption can only be triggered once per game. Even if Shen Huai is not the head of state and has three lives, his redemption can only take effect once, and the threat of a living assassin without redemption is almost reduced by half.

Of course, Zhou Ning couldn't make them do what they wanted. He rushed up to chop the mountain to control the guns, and drunk the song to control the boxer. The two consecutive controls were done in one go, which stunned the British commentator.

Shi Yi also controlled the swordsman in the distance with the force of nature, and Shen Huai took the opportunity to brush out the shadow mark and become invisible.

Juzi couldn't help but said, "Fengyue's fight was really thrilling."

Yao Jun analyzed, "The reason for the thrill is that the rhythm is not stable enough. Zhou Jing was missing in the team battle, and the output damage was much slower than before. Shen Huai didn't play a role at all in the early stage. The wave just now even dragged his feet. Giant Coffee The map of the hall is not big enough, and once a team battle breaks out, it will be difficult to separate the winners."

At this time, the duel between Pablo and Fan Jingming also came to an end. What's interesting is that none of the four duels was killed, and Louis threw out his big move when he landed - Baptism of Holy Light!

There was a burst of exclamation from the auditorium, because Louis' baptism of light completely offset the damage of Zhou Ning's ultimate ultimate move!

Originally, Zhou Ning had already launched a set of guns to kill the Quartet in seconds, but now that Louis made a big move, he didn't do any damage at all.Not only that, Starfish was about to kill Pablo, but Louis's big move sucked Pablo's blood back, and killed him instead!

"Why is it so hard!" Hai Xing couldn't help complaining.

The rest of the team is still focusing on team fighting, but they also have this feeling in their hearts. This team battle is obviously much more difficult than before.

Song Xueyang calculated the time. It has been a while since Green's resurrection. He should be able to arrive soon. If they continue to fight, they will suffer. He immediately ordered, "Retreat!"

Fengyue's team members were well-trained and retreated immediately. Zhou Ning turned on Yufeng Xing, and then hurried on with an arcane flash, but this time without Zhou Jing's acceleration, they couldn't distance themselves from the enemy at all, and ran less than ten meters. Green, who circled and outflanked, suddenly jumped out.

——Frozen thousands of miles!

The screams at the scene continued one after another, and even Yao Jun couldn't help being amazed.

Because this move of Frozen Thousand Miles was so beautifully executed, it completely controlled the three of Fengyue!

Pablo was the first to rush forward, followed by the epee and the boxer. The three of them were immobilized, like lambs being slaughtered, and soon died in battle.

At this time, only Shen Huai and Song Xueyang were left in Fengyue team.
