Chapter 281 +282(1/3)
Chapter 281, Dragon Roar vs Falling Flowers (I)
Three days later, the members of the Longyin Team came to Shanghai collectively to challenge the league's most mysterious team.
Media reporters and most netizens are very dissatisfied with the Longyin Team. In addition to the fact that there are too many new players in the Longyin Team, the more important reason is that the Luohuaci team's home court has always been a nightmare for major teams in the league. No matter how good the regular season scores are, they will lose inexplicably as if they are cursed. The ratio of supporting the Longyin Team and the Luohuaci Team online has reached an extremely exaggerated 1:9.
However, no matter how the outside world judged and speculated, Lan Weiran was calm and composed. When he came out of the airport, he was wearing earplugs and listening to music as usual, as leisurely as he was walking in the forest.
Surprisingly, the Longyin team was actually surrounded by a press team at the airport.
As soon as everyone came out of the airport, they were blocked by the reporters waiting for him, especially the deputy captain Lan Weiran became the target of "care" for the reporters. One microphone after another was handed to his mouth, almost breaking his teeth.
A female reporter asked excitedly: "Si Lan, you suddenly came back after three years of retirement, but you did not return to the Luohuaci team you created personally. The rumors are because you are in a dispute with Luohuaci's current captain Ye Chenxi. Is it true?"
Lan Weiran: “…”
Someone continued to ask: "As the founder of Luohuaci, he has become a teammate with Haina Baichuan, who has defeated Luohuaci for four consecutive times. Have you considered the mood of Luohuaci's fans? Are there really difficult conflicts between you and Team Ye, which leads to you making such an extreme choice?"
Lan Weiran: “…”
——Where is this?!
Lan Weiran has always had a good temper and doesn't care much about anything. However, the sharp questions raised by the reporters who intercepted the airport today obviously made him unhappy. He even made up for the strange reason that "the master and apprentice are not in harmony, so the master does not fall back." Lan Weiran was speechless about the imagination of the reporters and couldn't help frowning and said, "This statement is too ridiculous. I have a good relationship with Ye Chenxi. Please don't speculate."
Liu Chuan also took the initiative to stand up and rescue Lan Weiran: "There will be a game tomorrow, we all need a rest. If you have any questions, please interview after the game."
The two of them blocked the reporter group tacitly and quickly took the team members with their team members to board the chartered car.
After getting on the bus, Liu Chuan let out a light breath and looked at Lan Weiran and said, "The reporter group has such a strong smell of gunpowder, it is obviously for you. They have always had a lot of imagination. If you haven't fallen back, they can definitely make up a lot of reasons. It's the most reasonable explanation for your disagreement with Ye Chenxi."
Lan Weiran shrugged: "It doesn't matter, let them say anything. My relationship with Ye Chenxi cannot be destroyed by just saying a few gossips."
Liu Chuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "We Four Blues are so domineering."
Lan Weiran smiled slightly: "Of course."
When Liu Chuan fought with China, he was scolded by China fans for a week. Before the aftermath was over, Long Yin faced another powerful enemy - Luo Huaci.
As the founder of Luohuaci, Lan Weiran made a comeback with Luohuaci's biggest enemy, Sichuan, and it is normal for fans to accept it. He has retired for too long, and many new players and supporters of Luohuaci team only recognize Ye Chenxi as the captain. There are not many people familiar with Lan Weiran, the old captain, so they naturally show no mercy when scolding him.
Compared with Liu Chuan, who has a lot of fans, Lan Weiran is actually under greater pressure.
However, Lan Weiran never showed this. The expression on his face was always relaxed, as if he didn't care about everything.
When he lost to China for four consecutive seasons, he had endured more questions than he is now. People often say, "The Four Blues are not suitable to be the captain of the fallen flower." "It is better to abdicate and give way to the virtuous if you lose so many times in a row." "I will definitely lose again this time." Lan Lan Lan should be renamed Transportation Transportation Transportation and Transportation..."
Netizens never show mercy on their mockery. Looking at these comments every day, Lan Weiran, who is less than 20 years old, feels like a heavy rock pressing down on him, which makes him almost breathless.
At that time, his father was seriously ill and hospitalized. Luo Huaci was once again assigned to Huaxia in the first round of the playoffs. He was under great psychological pressure, so when he lost to Huaxia for the fourth time, he finally couldn't hold on and decided to leave this place that made him desperate.
Now that he has decided to make a comeback, he has long expected that he will be hostile to the fans of Luohua Ci. He believes that he can afford these pressures.
When Lan Weiran is reborn in Nirvana and comes again, he will be more mature and more courageous than before.
***
That night, all the Longyin team went to the hotel Jiang Xue booked in advance, had a simple supper, and then went directly to the captain's room to gather.
Liu Chuan had been living in a room with Wu Zewen during the competition in other places, but this time he specifically told Jiang Xue to arrange him and Si Lan together, which was just convenient for the two commanders to exchange their experiences.
There are nine games in the fifteenth round of the regular season that will be held on the same day. Among them, the match between Long Yin vs Luo Huaci was scheduled at 8 am the next day. The early morning game requires more energy. Liu Chuan called everyone together and finally explained the precautions for the next day's game, so he asked everyone to go back and rest early.
After all the teammates left, Lan Weiran turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When Liu Chuan was bored, he turned on his laptop to surf the Internet.
The regular season schedule for the 13th season has reached halfway. Currently, the top four teams in the team standings announced on the official website are Tongque, Seven Star Grass, Luohua Ci, Snow Wolf, and Dragon Roar Teams temporarily ranked fifth, followed by Shengtang, Huaxia, Canglan, Fenghuo, and Guose. The points gap between these teams is within 5 points. The rankings will change after each game, and the competition is quite fierce.
In addition, the league also released the winning rate of major teams at home and away games. Among them, the winning rate of Luohuaci's team at home has reached 100%. That is to say, so far, no team can crack the "death curse" at Shanghai Luohuaci's home court.
Liu Chuan was studying the data analysis tables of major teams. Lan Weiran's cell phone suddenly rang on the bed next to him. This lazy man was too lazy to even set the ringtone of the phone. The ringtone of the incoming call was the "Dingling" sound that came with the system, which sounded very much like the landline at home.
I turned around and picked up my phone and saw that the caller ID on the screen actually had the word "Xiao Ye".
Liu Chuan took his cell phone to the bathroom door and knocked on the door, asking, "Can your apprentice Ye Chenxi answer the phone?"
Lan Weiran was taking a shower, but when he heard this, he turned off the faucet and said, "You can answer it first, tell him that I'm taking a shower and I'll call him later."
"Okay." Liu Chuan turned around and answered the phone, lowered his voice and imitated Lan Weiran's tone, "Hey, Xiaoye, is there anything you need to ask me for?"
"..." The other side of the phone was silent for a moment before a low and gentle voice came: "Cross Sichuan team, right?"
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Did you hear it? It seems that my acting is not very good."
"It's his voice that is too difficult to imitate." Ye Chenxi asked with a smile, "Where is my master and others?"
Liu Chuan said: "When you are taking a shower, you will find out what information you want to ask for, and it will be the same for me to find out."
Ye Chenxi said: "Oh? Team Nachuan told me how to explain the tactical arrangements of tomorrow?"
Liu Chuan began to open his eyes and talk nonsense: "Tomorrow our team battle lineup will still be the same. Zewen and I will play output, Jiang Shaoqing will play assist, and the order of appearance in the arena has not changed. What map did Captain Ye choose?"
Ye Chenxi said: "We choose the Mist Forest."
Liu Chuan asked: "Is it true or false?"
Ye Chenxi asked back: "What do you think of Team Sichuan?"
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "It must be fake, it's not a good thing to have too many bad intentions."
Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "Everyone is each other."
The two captains were talking nonsense on the phone, and the bathroom door suddenly rang. Lan Weiran came out after taking a shower, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, and took the phone from Liu Chuan while wiping his hair and said, "Xiao Ye, are you asking me for trouble?"
Listening to the lazy and sexy voice that belonged to Lan Weiran in his ears, Ye Chenxi couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Have you finished taking a shower?"
Lan Weiran said: "Well. Liu Chuan was bored and learned my voice just now. Don't pay attention to him. Just say anything if you have anything."
Ye Chenxi said: "It's nothing important, I just want to talk to you casually. We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Lan Weiran said in confusion: "It's not long, right? Didn't you just see it at the opening ceremony?"
Ye Chenxi: “…”
More than a month has passed since the opening ceremony, which may not be long for Lan Weiran, but it is long enough for Ye Chenxi - because he missed this person very much, the time he would feel that time was particularly difficult to be separated. Ye Chenxi had never told anyone that since the moment he got the schedule, he has been looking forward to the arrival of this game and looking forward to seeing Lan Weiran again.
Thinking of meeting him tomorrow, Ye Chenxi's eyes couldn't help but softly and asked softly: "Are you blocked by a reporter at the airport today?"
Lan Weiran nodded: "Well, how do you know?"
"Guess." Ye Chenxi said, "There is a rumor recently that you formed a group with the Sichuan team after your comeback and did not return to Luohua Ci. It is because there is an indissoluble conflict between the two of us. Have you heard of it?"
Lan Weiran said: "I heard that, today the reporter asked me in person."
Ye Chenxi said: "Master, don't worry, I will explain it to everyone about you. Don't mind those rumors too much."
Lan Weiran smiled and said, "I have become an old man for so many years. I never take the reporters' words to catch up with them. Do you want your apprentice to come and comfort me?"
Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "It's good that you don't mind."
After a moment of silence, Ye Chenxi continued: "By the way, Master, there will be heavy rain in Shanghai tomorrow. There will definitely be traffic jams during the rush hour in the morning. You'd better leave an hour and a half in advance to the stadium. If you are late, you will be disqualified from participating."
Lan Weiran turned around and asked Liu Chuan: "Will it rain heavily tomorrow?"
Liu Chuan said: "That's right, Jiang Xue checked the weather forecast and there will be heavy to heavy rain tomorrow morning. We will set aside at 7 o'clock."
Lan Weiran nodded and said to the other end of the phone: "Xiao Ye, we should set off at 7 a.m., right?"
"It's time." Ye Chenxi smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb you. You go to bed early and have a good rest, good night."
Lan Weiran said: "Good night."
After Lan Weiran hung up the phone, Liu Chuan came over with a smile and said, "It's really time to record the conversation between you and pass it on the Internet. Lan Weiran and Ye Chenxi are in conflict and disagreement. The reporters heard that you two were in love with each other before the game, talking and laughing, and they would definitely feel that being slapped in the face was painful."
Lan Weiran smiled and said, "That's right. I'm just him, how could I not get along with him? The direction of the reporters' thinking is really wrong."
Liu Chuan changed the topic and said, "By the way, I will fight Luo Huaci tomorrow, but I am still not relieved if you and Zewen cooperate."
Lan Weiran was puzzled: "You don't feel at ease with me?"
Liu Chuan shook his head: "No, I'm not very relieved Zewen. Zewen was used to cooperating with me before. He would definitely not be able to keep up with your pace when he suddenly changed his partner. I see that you are training these three days, and he is still a bit reluctant to cooperate with you. Maybe something will happen during the game, so..."
Lan Weiran said: "I understand. You want me to take care of him more, right?"
Liu Chuan nodded: "Yes, your adaptability is stronger than Zewen. If he can't keep up with you, you can cooperate with him more. Zewen is a newcomer after all, unlike you, you should take him more."
Lan Weiran waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know if you don't say this. I will pay attention to Zewen. I will lead the overall rhythm in the game tomorrow. If he can't keep up, I will adjust the rhythm and let him integrate."
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't talk anymore. I hope the first game you commanded can win!"
The two opened the video and studied it carefully. The Longyin team's lineup had already decided. They went through the video again and only guessed the team's lineup. Luohuaci was very strong in the team battle. This is what everyone knows, but their ring matches are not weak. The reason is that Ye Chenxi often appears as a defender, and Captain Ye's single-handed level is also a first-class master in the entire league. In addition, Luohuaci also has masters from the Xiaoyao sect such as Li Jun, Hu Bin, and Jiang Xiaotian. This team is mainly composed of Xiaoyao players and naturally has a thorough study of Xiaoyao's various playing styles.
That night, Liu Chuan and Lan Weiran discussed until twelve o'clock. The next morning, it was indeed raining as Ye Chenxi said. The traffic jam on the road was a long time during peak hours. Fortunately, everyone set out in advance and finally arrived at the scene on time.
At the home court of Luohuaci team, more than 90% of the audience who came to watch the game on site were fans of Luohuaci team. Everyone was wearing Luohuaci's purple uniforms and stood on the stage and looked down, like a spectacular purple ocean.
As the captain of Luo Huaci, Lan Weiran was used to the atmosphere of purple uniforms all over the home court in Shanghai. Every time he played, he felt full of motivation when he listened to the sound of "Liao Huaci Come on, Luo Huaci". Now, listening to the familiar cheering and looking at the familiar purple ocean, in a trance, he seemed to have returned to the years when he led his brothers to overcome obstacles when he was young.
Unfortunately, he is now the deputy captain of the Longyin Team. Luohuaci Team has already changed its appearance. All the old players have retired. Except for Ye Chenxi, he doesn't even know a new player.
Liu Chuan noticed Lan Weiran's mood changes, so he put his hand on his shoulder and patted him gently.
Lan Weiran turned around and met Liu Chuan's encouraging gaze. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay, I can adjust it."
Liu Chuan nodded and smiled back to him.
They encourage and trust each other. Even though they were once the undying opponents, they are now the most tacit comrades-in-arms.
To be continued...
