Chapter 254 Adaptation and Practice

Pan Lin and Li Yibo were surprised that Happy had made arrangements for this round of the competition. At this time, Happy's team competition against Miracle had already reached the halfway point.

Focus on Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash?

He Ming's analysis plan was beautiful, but reality told them that Qiao Yifan was not someone they could just overturn if they wanted to. When the two teams met, they didn't see One Inch Ash's figure at all. He had gone to play tactical maneuvering.

The match couldn't be so rigid. If the established goal wasn't there, they couldn't stubbornly ignore what was in front of them and insist on finding it. So, Miracle felt they had a slight numerical advantage and decided to just fight!

They did have a numerical advantage, and a very large one at that.

When the two sides collided head-on, Miracle was a complete team of five, while Happy only had Tang Rou and Su Mucheng's characters.

Five against two, what was there to be afraid of?

Miracle swarmed up, but they were also aware that it was impossible for Happy to just send two people to be killed, so they were carefully watching where the other members of Happy would suddenly emerge from.

Five against two, and after the exchange, the result wasn't even worth mentioning. He Ming, Wang Ze, and Shen Jian all felt a chill in their hearts.

What were they facing? A Battle Mage and a Launcher combination! The combination they were most familiar with, the combination they had revolved around for years. This combination, whether it was two against one, two against two, three against four, or three against five, had done it all in the past. In the habitual consciousness of He Ming and the other two, numerical advantage? Didn't exist. They were being restrained!

Immediately after, Fang Rui's Boundless Sea appeared, and Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash also appeared, emerging from the left and right flanks to begin a pincer attack on Miracle.

One Inch Ash appeared, but the goal of focusing on One Inch Ash was not easy to implement. He Ming and the others realized that they were already entangled. And they were so familiar with this scene! In the past, it was always their opponents who were entangled by the Battle Mage and Launcher, and then they would add fuel to the fire from the side.

Is this still our most familiar tactic?

He Ming and the other three were a little lost. Lord Grim plus Dancing Rain, they had made a lot of targeted arrangements based on their familiarity with the players, but Lord Grim didn't even appear, making them feel like they had lost their backbone. As a result, Soft Mist plus Dancing Rain gave them even more of a sense of deja vu than Lord Grim plus Dancing Rain.

Ah, if only I had known this would happen...

He Ming and the three of them held such feelings, and in the end, the team competition ended with Happy's victory. Happy won a great victory of 9 to 1 in the entire match.

At the post-match press conference, everyone had little interest in Team Miracle, and it ended hastily. After Happy came on stage, reporters couldn't help but be curious about Luo Ji's appearance and Ye Xiu's arrangement of not appearing in the team competition.

The answer they got was that it was adaptation and practice for the playoffs.

Happy, have they already started to enter the rhythm of the playoffs!

After that, such headlines appeared in the newspapers. But this wasn't something to be surprised about. As the season progressed to the end, some mature and stable teams would indeed have begun planning for the playoffs. The playoffs, whether in the past or now, have very different systems and regular seasons. The schedule is also dense, and they always have to run back and forth between home and away games, so they do need some corresponding adjustments and arrangements.

However, it's only the 28th round now! Isn't Happy entering the playoffs a little too early? They're already doing all kinds of big practices now. Aren't they afraid of accidentally falling out of the playoff list?

However, Happy, who was practicing in this round, still won a big victory of 9 to 1. What else could the outside world say? Those who focused on blackening Happy could only hold their words in their mouths in the face of the facts.

The twenty-eighth round was a complete victory for the strong teams. Apart from Howling defeating 301 with a score of 9 to 1, no other score surprised people.

Happy, who took 9 points, had a total of 187 points and continued to rank sixth. Below them was Hundred Blossoms with 183 points. After Howling defeated 301 with a score of 9 to 1, they succeeded in reversing the situation in one round. Although they had the same 167 points as 301, Howling won 9 to 1 against Team 301 in this round. In the ninth round, they lost to 301 with a score of 3 to 7. The total score of the two teams was 12 to 8, with Howling having the advantage, so Howling was ranked ahead with the same score.

The change in the ranking of Howling and Team 301 was the only change on the leaderboard after this round. All other teams stayed in their original positions. Teams below 12th place, Royal Wind, can basically be said to have finished this season. Next, it depends on whether they will try to rush up the leaderboard to earn more dividends. However, this motivation is a bit much for the team's operators, but it's a bit lacking for the players.

Media reports are now also clustered around the small range of the eighth place. They are too lazy to report on the giants like Samsara, Blue Rain, and Tiny Herb in front. The competition for the regular season championship has lost suspense, the strong teams' results are stable, and they won't fall out of the playoff zone. What else is there to write about? Rushing into the top four is something that still has a bit of motivation, after all, the top four will retain a home-court advantage in the playoffs. However, compared to the current fierce battle for eighth place, rushing into the top four can be looked at later.

On April 3, the twenty-ninth round of the professional season, 301's home game against Misty Rain became a match that seemed to have some weight in this round.

Misty Rain currently has 149 points, ranking 10th, 18 points away from Howling and 301, who are eighth and ninth. In theory, they still have hope of reaching the playoffs. But with Misty Rain's performance this season, people don't dare to have too much expectation for them.

Misty Rain's new tactical transformation has always been criticized, but they still haven't made any adjustments during the winter transfer window. In the second half, their performance hasn't improved much. With only ten rounds left, no one knows if they still have the courage to challenge for the playoffs. The official statements to the outside world are, of course, belief, effort, and striving for a turnaround. Everyone can say polite words, and both Bright Green and Seaside said they wouldn't give up, but everyone can see that they have already surrendered.

The twenty-ninth round of the competition was a bit bland. Happy's challenge in this round was against Royal Wind, a former top team that has now fallen so low that they don't even have the chance to compete for the playoffs. But Royal Wind's home stadium is still lively. This is an old team with ten years of history. How many teams in the league have ten years?

Many of the home fans are very old, even in their thirties and forties. This is probably the exclusive scenery of old teams. The scenery of these people contacting Glory probably won't be later than Ye Xiu. Although they are just ordinary people and don't have Ye Xiu's achievements, they have persisted for ten years, and their love for Glory is no less than his. Glory has become an important part of everyone's life.

Royal Wind has completely declined, but these people have not left. Just like Glory is an important part of their lives, Royal Wind is an important part of their Glory. They have become accustomed to supporting this team, whether the results are good or bad. Seeing an advantageous young player or a new team and howling to surround them is not something that fans of their age would do.

In the first match of the individual competition, Happy's player was still Ye Xiu, and the audience even gave some applause when Ye Xiu appeared.

They have watched Glory for ten years, so they also respect this ten-year veteran. Although this guy beat their Royal Wind team severely in the finals of the first season of Glory, Royal Wind doesn't have as much resentment as Tyranny. After all, they only had resentment in this one year, unlike Excellent Era and Tyranny, who tore each other back and forth for four years, colliding in the playoffs every year, so the hatred was naturally greater.

The applause surprised Ye Xiu a little, and he waved to the audience in the home stands. Thinking of Royal Wind in the past and looking at it now, Ye Xiu was filled with emotion.

When he arrived on the field and met the opponent's player and character, Ye Xiu was even more emotional.

Tian Sen, Sweeping Monk.

Royal Wind actually sent their core captain to face Ye Xiu in the first match.

Compared to Howling's Tang Hao starting, Royal Wind's arrangement probably has a different mindset. Their season is already like this, and they won't have any goals. So, they are relaxed and the core is here to play individual matches. They probably just want to try to destroy Ye Xiu's record, add some gimmicks to the team, and give the fans some excitement! After all, such an ending is too bland.

Sweeping Monk!

Ye Xiu stared at the character projected in the center of the stadium.

This was the character who competed with Ye Xiu for the first championship of the league. Back then, One Autumn Leaf, Desert Dust, and Sweeping Monk could be regarded as the three strongest characters in the league. But what about now? Sweeping Monk... how many young people know the power of this character in the past? In this season's All-Stars, Sweeping Monk didn't even make it into the All-Star lineup.

Ye Xiu saw Tian Sen, the current operator of Sweeping Monk, across the way, climbing into the player's seat. This player, who was as tall and strong as an athlete, seemed to have more difficulty getting into the player's seat than others, which looked a bit comical.

The Golden Generation, the most dazzling group of rookies in the league to date, and then each became the core members of their teams. Tian Sen is probably the most tragic of them all. His entire career has been witnessing Royal Wind gradually decline from a top powerhouse to the point where they don't even have hope of reaching the playoffs. And he is still silently persevering. During the winter transfer period, Team 301 launched an invitation to him, but before Royal Wind could express their position, he took the initiative to state his heart.

Regardless of the results, just with this heart, he is a player worthy of respect.

As Ye Xiu entered the player's seat, he thought of the player before Tian Sen who played Sweeping Monk, who, along with him and Han Wenqing, was known as one of the three strongest gods of that era: Guo Mingyu.

"Damn god," Ye Xiu cursed as he swiped in his account. "You still owe me money and then disappear from the world. What kind of quality is that!"
