Hu Die Lan
Chapter 998 Whose Fault?
It's normal to criticize and point out mistakes after a match. As for whether to point it out sternly face-to-face, or to encourage and comfort first, and then analyze calmly, it's just a communication technique that varies from person to person. From the starting point, there's no right or wrong to speak of.
The current Lin Yi, although he lost the match, managed to reduce his opponent's health to 5% in the individual competition, which was a qualified performance. However, he originally had complete control of the situation, but in the end, he was defeated and had his victory stolen. This gap was the real reason why Xiao Jie was displeased at this moment. So, although the final result wasn't too bad, Lin Yi was still scolded terribly.
Chen Guo couldn't stand it, but after all, it was someone else's team, so it wasn't appropriate to say too much.
After being scolded, Captain Lin Yi silently sat to the side, and the other players came over to pat him to show their comfort.
What about Xiao Jie? After venting his anger, he seemed to feel better. He was particularly satisfied with his strict military management methods, and a smile appeared on his face again. He turned to Ye Xiu on the Xingxin side and said, "Such a good situation was actually reversed. I'm really making a fool of myself in front of Ye Shen."
"If it's because of the comeback, you shouldn't blame him too much," Ye Xiu replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Jie asked.
"If his position in the lineup was made specifically to counter Baozi, guessing that our first player would be Baozi, then the person who made this lineup arrangement should bear more responsibility for this loss," Ye Xiu said.
"What are you saying?" Xiao Jie's face changed.
Ye Xiu smiled. He could see it. Usually, the team captain is fully responsible for the team's match-related affairs, but judging from Xiao Jie's bossy attitude when training, his management of the team was not just on a general level, but he also interfered with specific tactical arrangements.
It's always a major taboo for an amateur to lead an expert. As for Xiao Jie, he can't be said to be a complete amateur in Glory. After all, he's been a fan of Glory for so many years. Even if he hasn't eaten pork, he's seen pigs run. He may not have the operational skills of a professional player, but he may have the technical and tactical theory of a professional player. It's like a soccer coach can direct a team on how to play, but he may not have been an outstanding professional player before.
However, since he's interfering with the team like this, he should naturally figure out where the problem lies when the team has a problem. Is it that the tactical arrangement is inappropriate, or is it really that the players didn't perform well?
Lin Yi lost the match and was severely scolded by Xiao Jie when he came down. Chen Guo didn't like his attitude, but what Ye Xiu couldn't stand even more was his indiscriminate criticism. Ye Xiu wasn't sure whether Xiao Jie had the technical and tactical level to manage a team, but at least in the first match that had just passed, if Lin Yi was arranged to play against Baozi, then Ye Xiu didn't think it was a brilliant arrangement.
As expected, after pointing this out, Xiao Jie's face became very ugly. It seemed that this was indeed his arrangement. So, when Lin Yi had the upper hand on the field, he was smug, thinking that it was all his brilliant plan, and that he had arranged a player to restrain his opponent. As a result, when Lin Yi was defeated and the situation was reversed, he was furious, thinking that Lin Yi hadn't grasped the opportunity. It was as if he had already placed victory in front of him, but this guy couldn't even hold it steady. He was simply trash.
Now, Ye Xiu was actually saying that there was a problem with his lineup?
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jie glared at Ye Xiu, no longer having the humble and polite attitude he had pretended to have before.
"Thinking that a player like Lin Yi is Baozi's nemesis is a mistake," Ye Xiu said.
"Why are you saying that?" Xiao Jie shouted.
"Just based on the result of this match," Ye Xiu smiled.
"What a joke." Xiao Jie sneered, "What can the result of one match prove? Besides, Lin Yi was completely in control of the situation at the beginning. If it wasn't for his carelessness..."
"Once careless is careless, twice careless is careless, but when you're continuously careless, haven't you considered that there might be some other reason causing him to be frequently careless?" Ye Xiu said.
"So, the lineup arrangement caused him to be frequently careless? So, he shouldn't be arranged to face an opponent that he can easily control and gain an advantage over, because that would make him too easily underestimate the enemy and be careless?" Xiao Jie's tone was full of sarcasm.
"Figure it out yourself!" Ye Xiu smiled, but didn't give him a detailed explanation.
"What? Can't you say it either?" Xiao Jie sneered.
Ye Xiu said helplessly, "You don't expect me to help you analyze how to defeat our team's players, do you?"
"Then let's wait until we defeat you before listening to your brilliant opinions. By then, I think it will be irrelevant to the overall situation, right?" Xiao Jie said.
"Then you have to work harder," Ye Xiu said.
"I don't need your concern," Xiao Jie said coldly.
At this time, he had completely shed his initial humility. The loss of one match had exposed his pride, arrogance, and conceit. From this point of view, Xiao Jie was really a guy with no subtlety. With a little stimulation, he couldn't help but reveal his ugly side.
The second match had already begun. Zhuxian's player was their team's ghost swordsman. Zhuxian's team was quite unique in terms of its class composition. Their main team battle lineup consisted of four swordsmen: a berserker, a swordsman, a ghost swordsman, and a magic swordsman, plus a healer.
The ghost swordsman who was playing now was their main player, with the character Gui Jianchou (Ghost's Sorrow), a common ghost swordsman among players who took a moderate approach, wielding both swords.
Baozi's Baozi Invasion only had 5% health left at this time. When the two sides faced each other, before he could come up with any divine moves, he was killed by Gui Jianchou.
He had barely won against Lin Yi earlier, and the Xingxin fan group had given him the enthusiasm as if he had defeated five opponents in a row. But this round, he was killed by the opponent before he could even do anything. The fan group immediately began to mock him mercilessly, using the unrealistic notion of defeating five opponents in a row to make fun of him. Obviously, this wasn't the fans being mean. It was because they all regarded Baozi as their friend, the buddy they used to hang out with in the game. This was a kind of teasing among good friends.
Baozi shook his head and walked off the stage. He was a little indignant about his quick defeat in the second match: "I had so little health, they didn't even give me two baozi to replenish it, sigh, sigh, sigh!"
The Xingxin crowd laughed, then watched Baozi sit down to the side with his head down, but no one went up to comfort him, because everyone knew it was completely unnecessary. Sure enough, five seconds later, after hearing the teasing from the fan group behind him, Baozi turned his head and started chatting nonsense with them, beaming. This guy even tried to climb over the player seats to the fan group's side, but was stopped by the security guard in a daze.
Of course, the security guard was dazed. He had seen many people rushing from the audience to the player area, but he had never seen anyone climbing from the player seat to the audience. Would this be considered a violation of the rules? The security guard was in a trance, because he really hadn't noticed whether there was a rule that players were not allowed to leave their seats and go to the audience area. Who would have thought that someone would do such a thing?
Not long after Baozi left the stage, Xingxin's second player took the stage. It was Xingxin's ghost swordsman player, Qiao Yifan.
However, Qiao Yifan's ghost swordsman, Yicun Hui (Inch of Ash), was a pure array ghost, so his solo combat ability was relatively weak. In addition, he only had two pieces of Silver equipment, while Zhuxian's Gui Jianchou, like their captain's character, Wan Jian Gui Yi (Ten Thousand Swords Return to One), had seven pieces of Silver equipment. Comparing the characters, Yicun Hui was at a disadvantage.
But in terms of player strength, Qiao Yifan was much more stable than Tang Rou and Baozi. He came from a championship team and had a solid foundation in tactics and skills. Even though he didn't get a chance to play in the Tiny Herb team, the training level of a championship team was not comparable to that of Zhuxian, a team that had been relegated for many years and had been mired in mediocrity.
After that, he received careful guidance from a great god like Ye Xiu, underwent a class change, and ultimately achieved great success. Now, Qiao Yifan himself had clearly felt the benefits of this transformation. The array ghost class allowed him to be in his element. The operations and responses in each aspect were like a match made in heaven with his consciousness. This kind of comfort and smoothness was something he didn't have when he used the assassin class in the Tiny Herb team. And the higher his level, the stronger this sense of harmony became. Qiao Yifan could describe his feelings for the array ghost class as loving it too much to let go.
His mastery of the class gave Qiao Yifan a great boost to his lack of confidence. He would no longer doubt himself or deny himself. He now firmly believed that he would become an excellent Glory professional player.
The match began. Zhuxian's Gui Jianchou rushed forward with his sword. In the previous match, he had easily taken care of the low-health Baozi Invasion in a few moves. He won easily, but he also felt a sense of unfinished business. At this time, he was in high spirits and had an extremely strong desire to fight. He couldn't wait to bump into his opponent and have a real battle.
However, Qiao Yifan started with tactical positioning at the beginning. He didn't go straight to find Gui Jianchou, but started to detour from the sideline. This battle would obviously begin with a sneak attack from one side.
It must be said that Qiao Yifan's half-year of practicing as an assassin in Tiny Herb helped him master some of the skills of using this assassin class. For example, sneak attack positioning, which was something that an assassin player must be proficient in. Qiao Yifan was not excellent at that time, but he was always diligent. The things he mastered might not be of a high standard, but at least he practiced them solidly, so he wouldn't lose them as soon as he switched classes. At this time, the array ghost Yicun Hui, under Qiao Yifan's control, performed sneak attack positioning extremely accurately. After a diagonal detour, he revealed himself and inserted himself behind Gui Jianchou.
"Idiot, behind you!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Jie anxiously cursed.
However, Qiao Yifan didn't rush to attack. Instead, he hid behind Gui Jianchou and observed his movements.
