"Our team has a rule that active players are not allowed to date."
Zhang Yu paused and answered immediately.
"Hmm! Is there such a rule in our team rules?"
Wang Hao couldn't help but asked Guozai beside him.
"No?"
"Is there?"
"No?"
"Hahahaha, what else? What do you think it is."
After the hug, Liu Yingying's face turned red instantly. Then she rushed back to her car and drove away, leaving Zhang Yu standing on the side of the road.
"Haha, don't you think about it? How could I be so awesome? What's the concept of drinking liquor from the bottle? I'm just trying to get a feel for it."
"Is that all?"
"Hey, I didn't expect this to be sold in the United States. It's pretty cool."
Zhang Yu burst into laughter.
This scene happened to be seen by Liu Yingying, so she made a joke.
So the group squeezed into this small supermarket and started shopping.
"Wait a minute, let's go to that store and have a look. We still have many days to cook. Let's see if there is any Lao Gan Ma chili sauce or something like that and buy some to go with the rice."
Beef sauce, buy it.
"Hehe, I bought it when I saw it. After all, it's American Erguotou. I bought it as a souvenir and I won't really drink it."
"Let me tell you, even though I like to drink, I'm just a coach, but I can't just drink at this critical moment."
"Can!"
"Ooooh, tut tut."
Hou Haotian walked into the temporary training room and saw Zhang Yu lying on the gaming chair, drinking something and watching a video at the same time. He couldn't help but walk behind Zhang Yu curiously.
"Oh my god, you're still drinking, are you crazy? Lao Zhang, you're a professional player now, and you're about to compete, why are you still drinking?"
"Lao Zhang, I have to criticize you for this. Although you are the boss, you are also a professional player. How can you be so important..."
Zhang Yu handed the bottle to Hou Haotian.
"good!"
"Okay, I'm here to talk to you about something serious. The official called and said there's a pre-match interview to be recorded. Someone will be coming over this afternoon. You should get ready. All the players should be interviewed."
"As for me, of course I returned to China. If my parents hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have wanted to leave. Now that I've finished my studies, of course I'm going back."
Zhang Yu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he had to say.
"...Fuck, I thought you saw Liu Danniu and thought of the past, so you drank to reminisce about the past."
"Lao Zhang, what are you looking at?"
“…………”
This hugging posture is slightly different from the general polite hug. The strength, angle and position are also slightly different.
Hou Haotian just drank it and immediately spat it out.
Zhang Yu replied.
"That's it."
“…………”
"Okay, okay, the boss is the boss. If he says yes, then it's yes. If he says no, then it's no. Is that what you mean?"
Lao Gan Ma, buy it.
Basic training is LG's daily training program. It is very boring and tedious. No one wants to double it, so the group of people dispersed.
“…………”
It turned out that after Zhang Yu bought the bottle of Red Star Erguotou, he poured the wine out and filled it with a bottle of mineral water, so it looked like he was drinking from two bottles.
LG still has the most important finals to play, so now is certainly not the time to relax. The dinner soon ended in this satisfying yet awkward atmosphere.
Speaking of which, Zhang Yu is also a wine lover. He used to like to have a drink every afternoon, either red wine, white wine or foreign beer.
Zhang Yu nodded to show that he understood. Trash talk is usually part of any sports competition before the game.
"puff……"
Zhang Yu glanced at the two people who had been exposed, and then answered calmly.
"Alas, I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm quite conflicted. I've been in the U.S. for so long, and I don't know if I can adapt to the new environment when I go back. So I'm going to apply for OPT first."
"It's good. Your parents must miss you a lot. It's good to go home."
The group slowly walked out of the restaurant and prepared to go back.
Thinking that they would have to eat American fast food and American Chinese food every day after today like before, the team members all agreed in unison.
Liu Yingying naturally heard the discussion beside her and chuckled.
Before leaving, Liu Yingying rushed up and hugged Zhang Yu tightly, and said this in Zhang Yu's ear.
"Oh, by the way, you will graduate from graduate school next year, right? Do you want to stay in the U.S. and get a green card or go back to your home country?"
Time always flies fast. As the LG team finished a box of instant noodles with red oil and peppers, the day of the competition was approaching.
After purchasing the ingredients for the meal, the group went out, got in the car, and returned to the hotel.
"Isn't this just water?"
"Captain Yu, tell me, where does this young lady come from?"
"I'm the boss, if I say yes, then yes."
There were only five big words written on the bottle - Red Star Erguotou.
But since I started playing the game, I quit drinking in order to ensure that my reaction speed and operation are not affected.
Hou Haotian saw Zhang Yu blowing into a bottle, and when he looked closely, he found that it was Red Star Erguotou.
As he spoke, Hou Haotian took a sip.
Anyway, I bought a lot of sauces and even a box of instant noodles with red oil and spicy pepper flavor.
Chili sauce, buy buy buy.
"I'm jealous."
Zhang Yu saw that there was a Chinese goods supermarket next to the restaurant, so he made the suggestion.
Hou Haotian interrupted quickly when he saw this scene.
"Didn't we agree that we can't drink casually? Haha, doesn't it smell good?"
"Are you sure? You didn't make up this team rule."
Hou Haotian replied somewhat unhappily.
"Then I'm leaving. You guys should work hard and make sure to win the championship. I'll come to cheer you on on the day of the final."
The crowd stood shoulder to shoulder behind Zhang Yu, forming a row and starting to make a noise.
Liu Yingying answered while looking at Zhang Yu's reaction.
Now, when he suddenly saw Red Star Erguotou in the United States, Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel playful, so he took a bottle from the shelf and threw it into the shopping cart.
"Want a bite?"
"Hey, you're a professional player and you're still drinking."
“I think it’s awesome.”
"Get lost and get back to training. If anyone asks again, today's basic training will be doubled."
Liu Yingying couldn't help but smile and narrowed her eyes, like a fox who had stolen some honey.
“Awesome!”
Liu Ruohan frowned and replied. Hou Haotian turned his gaze to Liu Yingying again.
"Oh, I see. This should be the trash talk session before the game."
Zhang Yu stopped in front of a shelf and took a bottle from it.
Good trash talk can generally improve the program effect, enhance the competitive atmosphere, and some can actually undermine the opponent's mentality.
Of course, if you lose, the trash talk you said before the game may become a subject of ridicule from black fans, such as the famous "I want to prove who is the world's number one jungler" or something like that.
So it seems easy to talk trash, but if you really want to talk about it, there are still many things to pay attention to.
For example, it cannot be too vulgar or too low-end. It is better to be subtle and sarcastic.
As he was thinking, Zhang Yu looked at the bottle of Red Star Erguotou in his hand.
