Chu Lu, who had no idea that he was being treated as a boss, caused quite a stir when he announced the news within the team.
Although Chu Lu recruited a lot of people this time, most of them were second-tier members of the B-level team before, and even fewer were A-level, let alone the championship team. After all, for those who can enter the championship team, let alone second-tier members, even if they are trainees, it takes a lot of effort to get them to retreat to C-level.
After all, Chu Lu is looking for players who are in their prime or even younger, rather than players who are about to retire.
For these people, even if they were in their original teams, they would not have the opportunity to have close contact with the all-star team.
…
A member of the "pension group" stood nearby with his arms folded, watching this group of young people who could not hide their excitement, and could not help shaking his head.
This person is none other than Lou Shao, the former captain of Changfeng Team, who has now retired to the C-class team.
Lou Shao's contract with the C-level team was not long, only one year. His original plan was to take advantage of the year to recuperate, relax, and take a certification exam to prepare for returning to Changfeng as an assistant coach.
However, plans are not as fast as changes.
At least when he signed the C-level contract, he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would play against Lin Changlu again.
Lou Shao: “…”
He almost thought it was a nightmare coming back!
But on the bright side, at least it wasn't Lin Changlu himself who took part in the event.
Otherwise, this year would not be a time to relax, but purely a time to train my psychological endurance.
…
After the game, the two met by chance outside the stadium and chatted for a while.
When they learned that his contract with the team was only for one year and would soon end, the other party took the opportunity to extend an olive branch and asked him if he wanted to come and be a coach.
Lou Shao: “…”
I never thought that I would receive an offer just for playing in a competition.
Between "assistant coach of the championship team" and "coach of the C-level team", anyone with a little ambition will choose the former.
But what if this C-level team is led by Lin Changlu?
Lou Shao thought about it for quite a long time.
But after learning about the personnel changes in "Tianque", it took less than a second to make a decision.
——If you can’t beat them, then of course you should join them!!
The main reason he was struggling and hesitating was that, looking at the strength of the Tianque team members and the not-so-suitable professional ratio, it seemed that Lin Changlu was just playing around.
Although Lou Shao never doubted that this man could pull a group of amateur players into the professional circle even if he was just "playing around", there was a limit to this, unless Lin Changlu himself took part.
But judging from the current situation, the other party obviously has no such intention.
But what does the other party’s drastic personnel changes now mean?
It means he is serious!!
Now he has returned to Changfeng, and was beaten by Lin Changlu who was defeated in the championship after more than two years. He still follows this team with an obviously bright future and fights all the way back from the C-level to the championship league...
Although I feel a bit sorry for my old club, this option is really not difficult to do.
Who doesn’t want to win when entering this circle?
Who doesn't want to win the championship?!
Bullshit "Friendship First"!!
I called you "friend", so you should give me the "championship"!
After a not-at-all-intense ideological struggle, the former captain of Changfeng, with even higher self-confidence than Chu Lu himself, did not hesitate to quit his old club and became the current coach of Tianque, ready to do a big job.
Chu Lu:? ?
Did Captain Lou have this kind of personality before?
No matter what the new coach thought, the agreed time for the friendly match finally arrived amid the eager anticipation of most members of "Tianque".
When the game started, Liang Qixian looked at his opponent's ID and name three times, from beginning to end and then from end to beginning, but he didn't find the well-known name. He couldn't help but let out a very disappointed sigh in the team channel.
Because the map was selected randomly, Tong Yizhou was tasked with collecting environmental information as soon as he entered the venue. But when he heard the voice, he immediately knew what Liang Qixian was thinking because of their friendship since childhood and the tacit understanding as teammates over the past year.
Tong Yizhou's face darkened, and he lowered his voice to warn, "That's Yishui! You better behave yourself."
Does he know what Liang Qixian is disappointed about?
The opposing team does not have the character "Yiwen" - one of the 24 legendary characters in the Otherworld Professional League, and this year's ranking even made it into the top five. The current operator is Yishui's captain, Lu Xiang.
We all play games, who hasn’t expected to share the same arena with god-level characters?
It is unlikely that Tong Yizhou was not disappointed at all.
After all, he was the first to notice that there was no “question” in the other team.
However, everyone had already anticipated this in the pre-match meeting, and even the coach nodded in confirmation of this speculation.
I didn't have high expectations in the first place, so the disappointment was expected.
After all, the other side is a championship team. They are willing to play a friendly match with a C-level team like them out of respect for the coach. Could they really expect the other side to field all their main players?
But it was expected. Who knows what our idiot captain can do? !
Tong Yizhou was afraid that this guy would cause trouble again, so he paid special attention to remind Liang Qixian several times to correct his attitude so as not to waste the friendly match opportunity that he had worked so hard to win.
——Although the team didn’t say what exactly happened with this friendly match, it’s clear that the only person in their entire team who has a connection with the championship team and has the face to arrange a match is the coach.
This was obviously a sparring opportunity that the coach had bought with a favor. If it was wasted like this, then that idiot should just die to atone for his sin!
Chu Lu didn't know that the players on his team had completely misunderstood the initiator of this friendly match, and had also done him a favor. His attention was now on another side.
Seeing the members of Yi Shui on the opposite side, he couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh?" with a little surprise.
Chu Lu's original guess was similar to Tong Yizhou's. After all, as for collecting information, it was more than enough to let Team 2 come. What could be found out and what should be tested was almost enough.
But now this configuration...
Is this Yi Shui’s next generation core?
Chu Lu couldn't help but feel confused again. He couldn't help but turn around and ask Lou Shao next to him, "Is the current league... so free?"
Lou Shao: ???
The "what are you talking about" expression on Lou Shao's face was too obvious, so Chu Lu couldn't help but explain, "I thought it was just to collect information and let the second team come to test the waters, but I didn't expect Lu Xiang to send out the main lineup."
Lou Shao:?!
Who is this because of? Don’t you know the answer?
Then, he realized that Lin Changlu really had no idea.
Lou Shao: “…”
After all, I just arrived and was working for someone else.
He repeated the words "calm and composed" three times in his mind, then he smiled with difficulty and said politely, "Maybe Captain Lu is more cautious, he has always been like this."
Chu Lu nodded, reluctantly agreeing with what he said.
Lou Shao: “…”
This person...
He really had no idea how much of a shadow he had left on his opponent in the game...
If we were to say who on Tianque could best empathize with Lu Xiang’s thoughts, it would undoubtedly be Lou Shao.
After all, he was once the captain of Changfeng, and their situations are very similar. You can understand it if you put yourself in their shoes.
If he was still in Changfeng now, whether he was the captain or the coaching assistant, upon learning that this person was planning to reorganize the team and return to the league, he would definitely make the same choice as Lu Xiang -
Fight a few more games while the opponent has not yet grown up.
This is certainly not for purely vindication reasons such as "to avenge previous shame" or "to avenge the defeat in the war", but to break the invisible psychological fear.
Only those who have experienced the period when Lin Changlu led Wang Feng to dominate the arena can understand how terrifying this man is.
——That is the kind of despair that makes people certain of losing before the game even starts.
In competitive sports, something as inexplicable as morale can sometimes have a particularly important impact.
No matter what the actual strength comparison is, with the mentality of "destined to lose", being able to exert 30% or 40% of one's strength is already considered extraordinary.
The more you lose, the more this happens, and the more this happens, the more you lose.
It's simply a vicious cycle.
It’s actually very simple to break this circle, all you have to do is win.
Just win at least once.
But for Wang Feng, who was so powerful back then, this was extremely difficult...
If it weren't for Lin Changlu's sudden retirement, this would have become an impossible task.
Fortunately, the current "Tianque" has not yet fully grown up. How can we justify not taking advantage of this opportunity to win a few more times?
In fact, no matter how devastated the fans were back then, for people in the professional circle, Lin Changlu's retirement really made all the teams except Wangfeng breathe a sigh of relief.
But now that he knew the real reason why he retired, Lou Shao couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, the real reason has always been very simple, and it is the same as Wangfeng’s official announcement.
——“Retired due to injury”.
It's just that for various reasons, this obvious and true reason has never been believed.
It's not just the fans outside the circle, but even in the professional circle, except for a few big names who have some personal connections with Lin Changlu, the rest of the people are actually skeptical.
Lou Shao, who was only a second-tier player at the time, was naturally one of the people who joined in the fun.
After all, whether it was the tense atmosphere in the Wangfeng lounge that was accidentally photographed at the time, or the ugly expressions of the relevant people who kept silent afterwards, it was obvious that there was "a story behind it".
For a while, all kinds of rumors were rampant.
There were rumors about the captain being ostracized due to a disagreement with the team leader, a conflict with the top management leading to his resignation, the growth of a new genius, a dispute over the right to use "Sai Chenfei", factional struggles within the team... All kinds of gossip on the Star Internet were well-organized, with backgrounds, illustrations, causes and consequences, and even the video of the coaching match that leaked from the Wangfeng team that year became evidence.
…Every one of them looks real, and every word sounds like the truth.
The complexity of the situation is almost catching up with the political struggle epic that was popular in Starnet that year.
In fact, there is indeed a "story" behind this.
However, this "story" is much simpler than those "reasonable" speculations on Starnet...
…but it’s also very cruel.
He really just retired due to "injury".
But the severity of that "injury" was far beyond everyone's imagination...
Lou Shao recalled the first day he came to "Tianque", when the young man casually mentioned his attitude that "spiritual access time is limited".
He was in such a complicated mood that he couldn't even control his expression.
——Shocked and guilty, sighing with emotion, and then couldn't help but feel admiration.
After learning the truth, I was shocked, and then I felt ashamed for my ignorance and my enthusiastic browsing of those "stories" on Starnet...
He clearly possessed such outstanding and even overwhelming talent, but because of an accident, he completely bid farewell to the arena and even had difficulty logging into the game.
Lin Changlu's career was like a meteor, which suddenly fell after its extreme brilliance.
Now think about it…
At that time, the media revealed the so-called "tense atmosphere in the lounge", "people who knew the truth kept silent"... Aren't these all natural?
Not to mention teammates and friends, even if it happened to anyone around you who you only met two or three times, you wouldn't be able to laugh, right? And this is definitely not entertainment news that can be used as a topic of conversation after dinner...
Think again about the other person's current relieved and relaxed attitude.
Lou Shao couldn't help but think: If it were him, no matter how many years had passed, he would never have said it in such a relaxed tone, right?
That is why, after learning the truth, there are all kinds of complex emotions, including regret, emotion, and sigh, but the only one missing is "pity".
It is impossible to feel such a "condescending" attitude towards someone like Lin Changlu.
It's scary in every sense of the word.
This man...
