Chapter 379 [Decisive Battle Day! 】(6.3K)(1/2)
August 29, the day of the Asian Games finals.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the whole team met in the cafeteria. Ten people sat around a large round table and listened to Abu explain today's schedule.
"I will repeat today's process. I will sign in at the venue at two o'clock in the afternoon, and then record the opening video. In the afternoon is the third-place match between Taipei and Vietnam. During this period, the organizer arranged equipment for us in the lounge. I made an appointment with the Indonesian team.
You can play a few training games in the afternoon, just warm up and keep your hand feeling..."
"The final starts at seven o'clock in the evening, but we will be waiting for the venue at six o'clock. There will be a pre-match interview session. You can't go out casually during this period. Remember it clearly."
After Abu finished speaking, he looked at the silent crowd.
The factory director frowned, Xiye folded his hands and lowered his head, Wuzi chewed his fingernails, and Xiaoming lay on the table in a daze...
The tense atmosphere on the eve of the finals was almost overflowing.
"Everyone doesn't need to be so nervous. Just treat it as an ordinary game. Let's get out of our own way and relax..." Meng Ma on the side took the initiative to comfort him.
Hart also quickly echoed, trying his best to relieve the pressure on the players.
"Originally I shouldn't have said this, but seeing that you are so nervous, I'd better explain it to everyone. We have reached the finals this time, which actually means we have completed our mission." Abu sighed, "The above
Although my explanation was to guarantee the silver and compete for the gold, I didn’t say what would happen if I couldn’t win the gold medal, so there’s no need for such a big burden.”
"Yes, let's just pretend that we will lose in tonight's final, so we won't have any pressure to play." Xiaotian, who had been silent all this time, took the initiative to say.
When Xiao Ming heard this, he glanced at him and said quietly: "Brother, it's scary for you to have this idea..."
"Haha, indeed, your words are too exaggerated. What do you mean we will lose..." The factory director was also amused.
"I mean... put yourself to death and survive, you know what I mean..." Xiaotian quickly explained.
The Garlic Bastard's nonsense successfully made everyone laugh and livened up the originally depressing atmosphere.
"Okay, when we get to the venue, it will be fine after everyone gets used to it. You are all players who have played in major competitions. I still believe that you can perform well." After finishing speaking, Abu looked at the round table where he was sitting.
Suchen and Uzi, who were on the diagonal, hesitated to speak.
Both of them spoke very little today. Although Su Chen looked calm, he was also thinking about something.
Uzi looked a little anxious, and obviously still had some baggage in his heart.
After Abramovich held a meeting with the coaching staff last night, he also learned about some small incidents within the team from the factory director.
It is said that Su Chen took the initiative to knock on Uzi's door in the middle of the night and left after more than an hour.
It was obvious that there was some communication before the finals, but no one except Xiao Ming, who was in the same room, knew exactly what they talked about.
After hearing the factory director's words, Abu remembered the scene when Su Chen took the initiative to talk to him late at night during the training camp in Shenzhen.
That night, he took the initiative to suggest that the team could play around Uzi, giving up his core position. This allowed the team to complete the run-in and reach the finals smoothly.
But Su Chen didn't actually say anything at the time. He just said that if he could win this way, then he would insist on fighting like this.
But if there is no way to win the game with Uzi as the core, he thinks he should try his method.
However, Abu is not sure whether Uzi can accept this adjustment given his character.
But the final is just around the corner, and Abramovich cannot take the initiative to detonate this time bomb. He can only place his hope on tonight's game. If everything goes smoothly, maybe this problem will not happen.
After Abu's meeting, everyone got up and came to the breakfast window in the cafeteria, using their player IDs to choose breakfasts of different flavors.
When Xiaotian saw Su Chen getting up, he immediately chased after him. After walking a few steps behind him, he cautiously asked: "Brother Chen, what did you talk about last night? I saw you didn't return to the room until two o'clock."
Su Chen put corn, sweet potatoes, and eggs on his plate and asked casually: "You really want to know?"
Xiaotian nodded like he was pounding garlic, and the soul of Bagua was completely burning.
After Su Chen prepared breakfast, he turned to look at Garlic Bastard, and then smiled slightly: "I won't tell you."
"Ah? Stop!" Xiaotian became anxious as soon as he heard this. He grabbed a few buns on the plate and then chased Su Chen to ask questions.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get even a word out of Su Chen's mouth.
In the end, I could only frown and look at the air while making various bold guesses.
While everyone was sitting around the round table eating breakfast leisurely, athletes in red uniforms came over from time to time to say hello.
Many events in the Asian Games have been completed in recent days. Some athletes who are still staying in Jakarta, in addition to waiting for the award ceremony, are also paying attention to tonight's LoL event finals.
Those who practiced gymnastics, weightlifting, and track and field all rushed to the table. They sincerely said cheering words and asked if they could take a group photo.
Although lol is a relatively niche competitive event in the Asian Games, it is actually very well-known in China.
Some athletes who have won gold medals also follow some news in the e-sports circle privately.
The factory director, Wuzi, and Xiye were surrounded by many people, and the scene seemed lively.
A women's volleyball girl who was over 1.9 meters tall came to Su Chen shyly. After asking about it, she happily asked her companions to take photos for her.
"Jiang Shen, our whole team will be there to cheer you on tonight, we must win!" the women's volleyball girl said with a bright smile.
"Of course." Su Chen nodded firmly, then turned his head and saw Xiaotian being hugged by a bunch of muscular men from the weightlifting team, taking pictures very affectionately.
The cold expression on the garlic bastard was in sharp contrast to the excitement of the people around him. Su Chen felt a little sympathetic when he saw it, so he secretly took a photo of him from the side and sent it to the ym group.
It was accompanied by a copy: People's joys and sorrows are not the same.
In addition to the traditional sports teams, the members of Clash Royale and AOV King of Glory, which are also exhibition events, also gave face-to-face cheers at noon.
In the two events, Clash Royale won the gold medal, while AOV won the silver medal, and their performance was pretty good. After completing the task, they stayed in Jakarta because they wanted to watch the finals of the LoL event tonight.
It can be seen that most of the Chinese athletes at the Asian Games tonight are more or less paying attention to this battle between China and Han.
With encouragement from all sides, the players have rekindled their fighting spirit and their condition is much better than in the morning.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, at the entrance of the Asian Games Village, a bus with the five-star red flag printed on its body had already arrived.
While Abu was handing over the formalities, the Indonesian guy who was in charge of receiving everyone on the first day ran over and said very enthusiastically.
"I asked the master last night, you will definitely win today!"
Su Chen joked: "Did you say the same thing about the Hanguo team?"
"No, no, no," the Indonesian guy shook his head quickly, then lowered his voice and said, "To tell you the truth, my colleagues in the Asian Games Village don't really like the athletes from the cold country. They are too troublesome!"
After saying that, the Indonesian guy raised his eyebrows and showed a "you know what" look. Su Chen smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and climbed into the car.
After the bus started, the scene of the Asian Games Village square and buildings gradually shrank and disappeared.
The urban scenery of Jakarta flies by the window, the midday wind rustles the lush coconut trees on the street, and Indonesian girls in national costumes walk along the street.
Different from the fast-paced life in Shanghai and Shenzhen, time here seems slow and slow, but it is also a bit comfortable.
Xiaotian was lying next to the window, curiously looking at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly said.
"Is this the last time we pass through this neighborhood today?"
Abu, who was reading documents in the front row, responded without looking back when he heard these words: "We will finish the game tonight, and we will stay here for half a day tomorrow, and we won't get on the plane until eight in the afternoon."
"Eh? Can you go out for a walk tomorrow?" Everyone was also attracted by Abu's words.
"Unfortunately, there will probably be a lot of things happening tomorrow. We probably won't have the time. We have to stay in the Asian Games Village and cooperate with the officials to go through many procedures." Abu put down the paper in his hand and said with some pity.
"What a waste of joy." Xiaotian muttered a few words, grabbed a pair of headphones from his bag, put them on and watched the video.
Su Chen also felt a little regretful that it was rare for him to travel abroad to Southeast Asia, but these days were basically between the Asian Games Village and Mahaka, and he didn't actually have much contact with the outside world.
After picking up his phone and taking a few photos through the window, Su Chen opened WeChat on his phone, uploaded it to the family group, and then saw the message from Lin Chu.
"Ready!" Then she sent a picture.
In the photo, the camera is pointed at a huge computer screen, with an iPad placed on a stand next to it.
In addition, there is a ym team uniform hanging on the wall, and a small red flag is placed on the table. It is very well prepared.
In the lower left corner of the photo, there is a plain white hand with a thumbs up and a "like" sign.
"What if the Internet is disconnected or the power goes out?" Su Chen joked.
"Mobile phone hot spot! Pedal generator!" Lin Chu said viciously.
Su Chen finally laughed and felt much better.
He skillfully clicked on Weibo and logged into his "ym"
jkd" account, he posted a Weibo post with a picture of a coconut forest in Jakarta.
"Just today!"
…
The drive from the Asian Games Village to Mahaka Square took about forty minutes. Before two o'clock, everyone arrived at the entrance of the venue smoothly.
Although the passage was not open yet, there were already many Chinese tourists wandering around the scene, and they all sent their blessings when they saw the players coming out of the car.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the compatriots, everyone waved in response.
A couple wearing sun hats and sunglasses and holding selfie sticks came over and excitedly waved their hands towards the bus.
"Come on, brothers!"
"Winning three to zero tonight!"
Su Chen took a closer look, weren't they Guan Zeyuan and Yu Shuang?
Seeing that Guan Zeyuan was already tapping his chest with one hand and preparing to cast a spell, Su Chen quickly followed the team into the lounge.
After a series of procedures including sign-in, urine test, and makeup.
Everyone finally returned to the lounge.
The two teams from Taipei and Vietnam were already waiting in the front row, and the lounge in Group A was also occupied by an entire Chinese team, making it look a lot more spacious.
