Treat him as a child
The first round of the spring season ended, and the FD team finally entered the first tier with a record of four wins and one loss.
Enter the second round.
The fact that a new team that was just formed at the beginning of the season could achieve such results undoubtedly boosted the morale of fans and players.
This team is on a roll.
It will definitely get better with more practice.
Weibo:
"This new guy is amazing! Sniper can now focus on live streaming after retiring."
"Moon is really a talented shooter!"
“This is the most promising season for our FD!”
"Watering, watering! Keep it up, brothers! Changyan is awesome too! Let's keep going in the second round!"
…
In the first game of the second round of the spring season, FD faced the veteran powerhouse Beijing TN.
The same BO5 format is adopted. Currently, Beijing TN leads FD 2:1.
Pumpkin Bomb: "FD chose the 'True Fragrance' strategy in this game, dragging the game to the late game, waiting for Sun Shangxiang to mature, and with Taiyi's resurrection, he had both damage and an extra life. With his BP (Ban, Pick) choices, he still had a good chance of tying the score!"
Gucci: "Yes, on the other hand, TN is more inclined to attack in the early stage. If they are dragged into the late stage, the damage will be a bit insufficient, so we must try our best to create rhythm in the early stage!"
…
"Although TN found several opportunities in the early stages, the advantage was never magnified, and the economic gap was still not too big!"
"Yes, FD seemed to be at a disadvantage in the early stages, but now it's 18 minutes in, the marksman's equipment is complete, and the situation has begun to turn around!"
"Sure enough, the last wave showed that FD's damage has increased. It's time to sound the horn of counterattack!"
"Yes, as long as we keep dragging it out, after 20 minutes, Beijing TN's lineup strength will be too strong to resist FD!"
…
"Taiyi flashes and explodes, the team fight is about to begin. Sun Shangxiang moves forward, follow up with the damage..."
…
"Sun Shangxiang was killed! Her first life was lost... No, her resurrection armor was also lost, it was her own resurrection armor!"
"Taiyi just pulled back after the explosion. He's a bit far away and can't be resurrected!"
"Was that a mistake just now? How did I flash forward and roll into the enemy's face?!"
"I think I wanted to follow the output, but I entered the market too hastily!"
"This is the drop point before the crucial dragon fight. I can only say that the newcomers are still a bit aggressive!"
"Yes, we still need to calm down. We were too impulsive just now. FD lost his output position due to the shooter's loss, and the subsequent damage can't keep up at all!"
"Wait, that's not right! FD was wiped out! Then TN can take advantage of the situation and kill the game directly and push down the crystal."
"Let's congratulate Team TN for winning the match 3-1 and earning their first major point in the second round!"
…
Barrage:
"What was Sun Shangxiang doing just now?"
"I Eat Sun Shangxiang Poet"
"This shooter is too impulsive."
"Forget it, I'll just ignore what happened today. Newbies are bound to be impulsive. Learn from the lesson and try harder next time."
"The coach dunked Sun Shangxiang in the next game."
"Where are the three free-of-criticism privileges for newbies?"
…
There was silence in the lounge.
Like a black crow flying by, dark clouds covered the city, and the air pressure was terribly low.
In fact, it is normal to lose a game during the regular season.
But it seemed hard for everyone to accept that the game was overturned due to a mistake when it seemed like victory was imminent.
More or less twisting a force,
Mixed with resentment, regret and anger,
The air was frozen, and several starting members sat in the lounge with their heads down.
Today was the worst performance they had played since they formed the team. It wasn't just the last game, but the frequent mistakes that led to the loss of both games. Their condition was just too bad.
New teams that haven't experienced setbacks are suffering.
It is common for new players to play aggressively when they first enter the game. The key is whether they can learn from their mistakes and make corrections after suffering losses.
"You really shouldn't have jumped in that wave. You were too greedy for output!" A training worker with a bit of a hot temper pointed out the problem to Moon, frowning and speaking a little angrily.
Coach Zhong sighed. "Hey, the sooner the problem is exposed, the sooner it can be solved. It's okay. We'll go back and review the game later. We'll win the next match!"
Everyone was silent, still trapped in guilt and anger.
"Alright, you guys, go back and eat first, we'll talk later."
"It's okay. It's not a bad thing to fight. Don't do it again next time!" Coach Zhong turned around and put his arm around Jiang Gao's shoulder to comfort him.
"Well, today is indeed mine." Jiang Gao said in a deep voice, then turned and left.
He has kept his head down and remained silent since the game.
Everyone seemed to be accustomed to his silence, and the atmosphere was still dead.
The rest of the people were speechless and took the bus back to the base.
It rained in Shanghai today, and the streets were still wet after the rain stopped.
This kind of weather is the most annoying.
My mood is like drowning in a sea of dampness and irritability.
The young man's vigor hit the wall and was bounced back violently.
The game ended early today, so everyone will prepare to review it after dinner.
On the bus, suddenly, "My heart is beating, it's love like a raging fire..." The sound of Douyin's external speaker resounded throughout the bus.
"Puchi! Hahahaha!" The atmosphere became lively.
Everyone laughed heartily because of a vibrato with a strong sense of rhythm.
As a teenager, emotions come and go quickly.
But the boy sitting by the window at the end, with headphones on and eyes closed, was still standing there, still sinking to the bottom of the sea, unable to blend into this temporarily relaxing atmosphere.
After returning to the base, everyone calmed down, put their hands on shoulders and joked around, smoothing out their temporary emotional fluctuations.
Don't be too serious about the current situation. Now and next time are the key.
After dinner, find out the problem and correct it. Victory and defeat are common in the military.
We have a long way to go.
The base was peaceful. Some people sat at the dining table, eating the food cooked by the aunt, holding chopsticks in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, watching the game and watching videos, all relaxing. There were also groups of three or four who chose to eat takeout, chatting with each other about equipment or gossip.
One Wan returned to the training room after dinner.
I found Jiang Gao still sitting alone in a chair playing games.
When I walked in, I saw that it was not yet six o'clock and the peak competition had not started yet. He was playing Sun Shangxiang in a solo queue.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Jiang Gao shook his head and continued to operate his phone attentively.
"You should go eat. You have a training match tonight."
"No need." He said in a low voice without any emotion.
One Wan looked at him and sighed.
Jiang Gao lowered his eyes and had a serious expression, his brows were furrowed and never smoothed.
"Hey, don't blame yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. You can just fight back next time!"
Jiang Gao didn't reply.
Awkward, guilty, stubborn.
In such a huge base, he hid alone in a cave, dug a hole, buried himself in it, and digested it alone.
Jiang Gao knew him very well. He couldn't stand his own mistakes. Every time he lost a game and felt bad, he would punish himself by skipping meals and playing games crazily.
Is it personality or family influence?
Is it the stubbornness in your bones, or is it a struggle with yourself?
It was ok when he was in the youth training. Anyway, there was not much training and the supervision was not strict. But now that he is playing in the KPL, Onewan still feels sorry for his only brother in the team.
"Oh." He sighed shamelessly, but he couldn't get angry with his body.
"I ordered food for you. If you get hungry and don't play well in the training match tonight, I won't protect you!" After saying that, he took the training machine and left.
Due to the fatigue from the long journey and the excessive intake of carbohydrates, he decided to take a short rest to recharge his energy for the training match.
Suddenly interrupted by a takeaway call, OneWan left Jiang Gao's number,
I had no choice but to take back the takeaway, put down the training machine, and pick up my own computer.
I opened WeChat, hesitated for a moment, and finally took a photo and sent it.
Every day, whoever of him and Lin Yueqin eats first will start the reporting process, and then the other person will comment on the content of the pictures to maintain this so-called romantic relationship.
Lin Yueqin: [It looks good. I'm a bit busy at work today, so I haven't eaten yet (sad face)]
Jiang Gao: [Yes, remember to eat later]
Lin Yueqin finally took a break and lay on the chair, opened Weibo,
"It's a pity that we lost the game 1-3..." FD's game report,
Unlike the previous loss, today's comments section was particularly violent:
"Moon, you'd better not use Sun Shangxiang in the next game"
"You can even make such a low-level mistake? A criminal shooter."
"Archer, are you worthy of Changyan's one-on-four attack?"
“(Roll)(GIF)”…
He lost the game today, and it seems he made a mistake.
Lin Yueqin casually opened the mobile game assistant again, which showed that he had been playing against Sun Shangxiang since the end of his game.
Handful after handful, never resting,
Lin Yueqin frowned: Is he training or competing with himself?
I don’t usually pay much attention to his games, and the occasional Weibo posts I see are all about his victory reports, but if he loses his first game, he still needs to make adjustments.
Forget it, she thought, I should just give some encouragement and spread some positive energy.
So she commented on her secondary Weibo account: "I believe things will get better and better. Come on, Moon!"
As expected, it fell on deaf ears.
Switched to WeChat and organized the language.
Lin Yueqin: [What are you going to do after dinner? ]
Jiang Gao: [We should review the game and then train.]
Lin Yueqin: [Come on, (kitten cheering emoticon)]
Jiang Gao looked at the message, feeling a little puzzled: the two of them rarely mentioned game competitions in their conversations, so this "come on" seemed a bit abrupt.
Hesitate for half a minute.
Jiang Gao: [OK]
Well, she wasn’t very good at comforting people, but she couldn’t be too obvious. Lin Yueqin was so embarrassed that she quickly switched to the short video software.
At one o'clock in the morning, Lin Yueqin finished washing up, lying on the bed, ready to farm.
The friend list shows that Jiang Gao is playing solo.
She clicked on his profile. Why was he always playing Sun Shangxiang? Still practicing? Lin Yueqin didn't understand.
Buckle:
[It’s so late, why don’t you rest yet? ]
Opposite: [I will practice for a while]
Where are your teammates?
They went to sleep.
No training tomorrow?
【want】
Tsk, why don’t you sleep when you have to train? Lin Yueqin couldn’t help but complain.
【Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to get up tomorrow? 】
[I can’t sleep now]
Can't sleep? She frowned.
Is it because you lost the game today?
[No, maybe I drank tea this afternoon]
Lin Yueqin ignored him.
You know that everything has its limits. Your body is the capital of revolution, brother.
Jiang Gao chuckled. Actually, he had drunk some strong tea to refresh himself this afternoon, and he had been addicted to games, so he was not sleepy at all.
A natural born professional player wouldn't be defeated by a single mistake.
【？ 】
[One mistake is not a big deal, just correct it next time. And actually, you played pretty well today, don’t blame yourself too much.]
Jiang Gao lowered his eyes. He really didn't play well today. He did feel guilty at first, but it was more of a nitpicking. He found it difficult to accept his mistakes. When he was in youth training, he would practice when this happened occasionally. After all, his mentality was actually pretty good. He didn't blame himself until now because of a game.
He is stubborn. He is not afraid of this mistake. A mistake is a warning and he wants to make sure that he won't make the same mistake again.
There's no point in blaming yourself; playing well in the next game is the only way to solve the problem. He needs to try his best to be at his best in every game.
Jiang Gao: [Did you watch the game? Your performance today was indeed average, but it's not a big deal. Go and rest, it's fine.]
Lin Yueqin felt that his tone was filled with emotions, unwillingness, and competition.
WeChat:
【Transfer (2000)】
【？】Jiang Gao was a little confused.
[I know you lost the game today, so you must be a little unhappy. I want to comfort you.]
? Do you treat him as a child?
Ten minutes passed, and Jiang Gao remained silent.
Lin Yueqin: [? Asleep?]
Jiang Gao: No
【Then why don’t you take the money? 】
He thought it was a little funny, and after thinking for a while he added,
Jiang Gao: [Am I a child? I'm happy just by collecting money.]
Lin Yueqin's inner thoughts: ? Even if I'm not a child, I'm happy to receive money!
Lin Yueqin: [I’m a child, I’d be happy if I received money, but I’d be even happier if you received money now, so please accept it.]
Jiang Gao paused, then hesitated and clicked to receive it.
Seeing this, Lin Yueqin immediately sent a message: [Okay, it's kind of cool to suddenly get some gold coins, right? It must have left a lasting impression. The next time I see that hero, I'll remember my mistake today. I'll definitely be a force in the next match!]
Huh? You really treat him like a kid?
Jiang Gao: Yeah, thank you. I'm very impressed. But please don't transfer money to me next time. I have a salary.
Lin Yueqin was stunned.
My head hurts a little, and I feel angry and funny at the same time.
She thought about it and found this brother a little funny: Don’t most kids who receive money send her an emoticon of a heart-thumping heart and then sliding on their knees to express their gratitude?
Lin Yueqin: [Okay, then give me gold coins next time]
Jiang Gao raised the corner of his mouth slightly [Okay,]
【Rest, I am ready to sleep, good night】
【good evening】
Jiang Gao put down his phone and prepared to go back to his lodging to wash up, ending his mechanical practice.
Standing up from the gaming chair, I inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
He didn't even notice this process, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a faint, heartfelt arc.
On the other side, Lin Yueqin was lying on the bed, and she had lost interest in playing games.
Why did she care so much about him? Why did she want to see him express his emotions? Why did she send him money?
She tried to sort out her thoughts: Was it out of humanitarian concern? His girlfriend's identity? Or... like a sister's concern for her brother?
Yes, that's it. She closed her phone, turned over, and went to sleep without worrying about it, trying to convince herself: "This is normal, huh."
It was late at night and the streetlights outside the window were dim, and a few small insects were spinning around.
It has stopped raining in Shanghai and the streets are dry.
Tomorrow is destined to be a good day.
