Chapter 366 The Role of the Coach



After the first game, Chen Qianlin, who was watching the game in the backstage, suddenly stood up and walked out. The professional players didn't know what he was going to do and thought that Lin was just going to the bathroom. However, less than half a minute later, Chen Qianlin appeared on the live broadcast screen - he came to the big stage in person!

Wu Yue and Liu Chen were preparing to watch the post-match replay, but Chen Qianlin suddenly appeared on the stage, and they were both stunned.

The audience was bewildered, and the screen in the live broadcast room was filled with question marks: "Lin Shen? Am I seeing things?" "Don't tell me he's going to play in a game!" "Chen Qianlin retired a long time ago, he must be on stage as a coach, but I don't know what he's going to do?" "It's the first time I see Lin Shen on stage, so excited! What is he going to do?"

The audience was confused until the referee raised his hand and the word "pause" appeared on the big screen.

Wu Yue finally came back to her senses and said excitedly: "Lin Shen requested to suspend the game as a coach!"

"Tactical pause" is not allowed in the middle of the game. Otherwise, if one side is focusing fire on the opponent and the opponent calls for a pause, then there will be no play. Unless there is a network failure or equipment problem, you can request a pause for debugging or a rematch.

In order to take care of the players' adjustment status, the Star Card Professional League has a very humane rule - after the small game is over, the coaches/captains of both sides can use the pause right, which can be used at most once per game, and each pause time shall not exceed 7 minutes.

In other words, when a team member's mentality collapses, or the team encounters a serious setback and must adjust tactics, the original 3-minute break time can be extended to 10 minutes using the pause authority.

When Chen Qianlin came on stage, he used the coach's right to suspend the player, which is limited to once per game.

In the first half of the regular season, since the tactics were arranged before the game and did not need to be modified significantly, Nirvana never used a midfield timeout, and Nirvana's coach Chen Qianlin rarely appeared in public. He usually sat in the backstage to watch the game.

Today, he finally stood up, straightened his back and walked onto the big stage.

He made a wrong estimate before the game and ignored the possibility of Ye Suqian playing, which was his dereliction of duty as a coach.

It was his mistake that caused Nirvana's tactical training during this period to go in the wrong direction, and all the strategies he had arranged became ineffective. In the first game, the Temple of the Gods caught Nirvana off guard. If they lost the second game again and let the Temple of the Gods take the match point, Nirvana would not be able to win back three match points in a row in the best-of-five game system.

Azhe, Chen Xiao, Xiao Ke and Qin Xuan are facing the most difficult situation.

At this time, Chen Qianlin should and must stand up!

As the head coach of Nirvana, he has to face this dilemma together with his players.

In previous matches, because of Ah Zhe's talent in tactics, Chen Qianlin boldly let Ah Zhe match his deck, and as a master, he only gave instructions and adjusted some hidden cards. But now, asking Xie Mingzhe to suddenly come up with the best plan was really too difficult.

Ah Zhe was in the game, and the "Twilight of the Gods" scene was completely dark in the later stages, so he naturally didn't see the Temple of the Gods' play as clearly as Chen Qianlin, who had a god's perspective. Only Chen Qianlin, who watched the entire game from a god's perspective, could discover the Temple of the Gods' weaknesses and find the best solution to deal with them.

——A bystander sees more clearly. When the players are not aware of their own shortcomings, the presence of the coach is the key!

Xie Mingzhe was discussing the strategy for the next round with Brother Chen when he suddenly saw his master coming on stage. Xie Mingzhe was delighted. Originally, he had no confidence in the upcoming game, but the moment he met the master's calm gaze, Xie Mingzhe finally put his heart at ease.

——Yes, Nirvana and Forest God!

Ling Jingtang will replace players and adjust tactics, but Chen Qianlin is no pushover.

The master must have something important to tell everyone. He came on stage and called for a pause. This was the chance of Nirvana. Xie Mingzhe finally smiled, stood up, looked at Chen Qianlin and said, "Master!"

Chen Qianlin patted his shoulder gently and said, "I didn't expect Ye Suqian to play. This is my mistake."

Xie Mingzhe said quickly: "We can't blame Master entirely. No one expected it."

Chen Xiao, Yu Ke and Qin Xuan all stood up and surrounded Chen Qianlin. Chen Qianlin quickly scanned the crowd and said, "Let's reflect on this when we get back. We only have 10 minutes to adjust. Forget all the tactics we decided on a week ago. Then, you will follow my arrangement and use a brand new tactic to play the second round."

Chen Xiao was excited and looked at his brother seriously. Xiao Ke and Qin Xuan also felt full of strength!

It feels like walking forward aimlessly in the dark, not knowing whether the direction is right or not, and having to bite the bullet and try. Suddenly, at this moment, someone whom everyone respects and trusts comes up to you and says: Don't be afraid, follow me.

Just like a ray of light that instantly split the endless darkness, the confidence and fighting spirit of the four people were instantly restored!

Chen Qianlin looked at Xie Mingzhe and whispered, "In the last game, our strategy against the Temple of the Gods failed because Ye Suqian's style was completely different from Xu Xingtu's. You were shocked by Ye Suqian's sudden appearance and found it difficult to target him, which led to Ling Jingtang seizing the rhythm of the map first. But in fact, Ye Suqian is not scary. The scariest person in the Temple of the Gods has always been Ling Jingtang."

Xie Mingzhe said, "Master, what you mean is that we lost the last round entirely because of Ling Shen?"

Chen Qianlin nodded: "In the dark, you can't see the operation of Ling Ye and the other two, but I can see it clearly from my God's perspective. Think carefully, in the first game, from the beginning to the end, did Ye Suqian and his teammates Xu Hang and Zhou Xingchen have any beautiful cooperation?"

Chen Xiao looked back carefully for a moment and quickly answered: "No, he has been protecting Ling Jingtang."

Chen Qianlin smiled slightly and said, "This is the strongest point of the Temple of the Gods, but it is also their biggest weakness."

These words, like a wake-up call, suddenly enlightened Xie Mingzhe!

Xie Mingzhe said excitedly, "I understand. Ye Suqian doesn't have enough experience in big competitions, and he has only had a short time to work with the team members. Although he understands the cards of the Temple of the Gods, understanding the cards is completely different from playing in the competition! The Temple of the Gods will definitely change players after we announce the deck, which means they only have one week to prepare!"

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "It's impossible to train four people to cooperate to perfection in one week. So, Ling Jingtang adopted a special strategy to make Ye Suqian cooperate only with him?!"

Chen Qianlin raised his lips in admiration: "It's good that you can figure it out. Ye Suqian and Ling Jingtang have known each other for nearly six years, and the two are very familiar with each other. It's not difficult for him to practice cooperation with Ling Jingtang in a week. But it's impossible for him to completely integrate into the four-person team battle system of the Temple of the Gods. The tactics of the Temple of the Gods in the last game were essentially a 'three protect one' strategy. Ling Jingtang was the absolute core, Ye Suqian protected him with all his strength, Xu Hang and Zhou Xingchen also assisted him, and Ling Jingtang led the rhythm of the whole game."

Xie Mingzhe took a deep breath and felt his mind clear. "So, Ye Suqian only needs to keep an eye on Ling Jingtang's card the whole time. Wherever Ling Shen goes, he will protect him. He doesn't need to care about the other two teammates. As for being able to defend against our card skills, it's not because he predicted our skills, but because he predicted Ling Jingtang's rhythm!"

Chen Qianlin said, "That's it. When Ling Jingtang wants to attack or defend, he will definitely give a signal in advance on the team channel, and Ye Suqian just needs to keep up with his rhythm. The rhythm of the last game was completely led by Ling Jingtang, and Ye Suqian was just his bodyguard. So, even though Ye Suqian has made several beautiful moves, if he hadn't followed Ling Jingtang and let him fight you one-on-one, he would definitely not be able to do these."

The strongest player in the Pantheon is always Ling Jingtang.

Ye Suqian is very strong, but he hasn't played in a professional league for five years. How can he compare with professional players who train day and night? He is very talented and quick to react, but he lacks experience in major tournaments. With Ling Jingtang leading him, he only pays attention to Ling Jingtang, so his performance in the first game looks particularly strong.

This is the perspective of Xie Mingzhe, Chen Xiao and others. In their opinion, Ye Suqian's prediction is very good and his operation is sharp, almost like he is using cheats.

However, if one carefully analyzes from the perspective of an outsider, one can find that Ye Suqian did not cooperate with the other two teammates at all throughout the whole process. He just followed Ling Jingtang the whole time - this is the real weak spot of the Temple of the Gods!

Seeing the four people's expressions of sudden enlightenment, Chen Qianlin gently pressed his little apprentice's shoulder and said, "Azhe, Master has always let you choose your own deck, but today, you are in a confused position. The second round's tactics need to be completely changed. I will designate the deck and map. We can't be careless in the elimination round. We must win this round. Do you understand?"

Xie Mingzhe nodded without hesitation: "Of course, I believe in Master!"

Chen Qianlin took out the laptop he brought with him and pointed at the cards listed on it. He said, "I have been thinking about the deck while watching the last game. This is the 20-card plan I came up with. I chose 'Three-way Divide' for the map. In this game, we will adopt the strategy of 'divide first, then draw'."

Yu Ke asked curiously, "Are they forcibly separating Ye Suqian and Ling Jingtang?"

Chen Qianlin shook his head: "No, the Ling Ye combination will not be separated. My goal is to separate Ling Jingtang from Xu Hang and Zhou Xingchen. Under the protection of Ye Suqian, Ling Jingtang is very difficult to kill, so we will not kill him first, and quickly deal with the other two teammates, and then four against two."

He quickly drew out the card distribution method on the optical computer, and explained: "The 20 cards will be divided into 7/5/8 combinations. When the time comes, you will see the layout of the Temple of All Gods. Wherever Ling Jingtang goes, Xiao Ke and Qin Xuan will follow. The two of you have only one task - delay!"

"The other camp is definitely the combination of Xu Hang and Zhou Xingchen, and it will be dealt with by Chen Xiao and Azhe. You two should bring a lot of attack and control cards, and try to kill them as quickly as possible. Then, join forces with Xiao Ke and Qin Xuan to form a situation where you have more people against fewer. I will distribute the five trump cards reserved for the final battle to you in advance..."

Looking at the cards that his master had prepared, Xie Mingzhe was extremely shocked!

——Avoid their sharp edge and attack their weak spot. Attack them separately, divide first and then make peace!

Chen Qianlin's strategy can be summed up in these sixteen words.

He was able to come up with the best strategy to deal with the Temples in such a short time by calmly observing the first game. He is truly worthy of being my master, a master of the Wood element.

In the first round, the three of the Temple of the Gods protected one. Ling Jingtang was like bringing three bodyguards. Ling Shen's sharpness was indeed unstoppable, but what if they were separated? Xu and Zhou's fighting power was completely incomparable to Ling Ye, and no matter how strong Ling Ye was, he couldn't do two against four or two against three. This was like Tian Ji's horse racing. We used our weak force to resist your strong attack, and used our strongest combination to quickly disintegrate your weak force!

The strongest combination of the Temple of the Gods is Ling Jingtang and Ye Suqian.

But don't forget, Nirvana also has a strongest pair.

In order to consider the overall situation, they did not play together in the doubles competition, but after spending so much time together, the two of them made cards together, founded the Nirvana Club together, trained hard together, and studied tactics. The tacit understanding between them is not inferior to any partners in the alliance; their cooperation is definitely better than Ye Suqian and Ling Jingtang, who have not played a game for a long time.

——They are Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe!

Xie Mingzhe looked at Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao also looked at him. The two smiled at each other and held each other's hands tightly.

Come on Brother Chen, come on Azhe!

In the next game, we will fight side by side in a doubles match!
