The advantage of 7 cards is difficult to catch up with, but not impossible.
Xie Mingzhe reacted quickly, but Nie Yuandao was not slow either. After seeing Nirvana's strategy of killing and discarding cards, Nie Yuandao immediately stopped summoning new cards and asked Shanlan to use healing cards such as White Peacock and Thrush to switch from offense to defense, trying to drag Nirvana's cards to a situation where their defense was lowered.
Wait until the number of cards on the field of both sides reaches a balance, and then you can turn the tables in the next team battle. Otherwise, you will fall into Nirvana's trap - the more new cards you add, the more cards will be affected by the Curse of the Undead, and the more discarded cards will be cleared in one wave of Nirvana!
Nie Yuandao is quite calm on the court and his refereeing is aggressive, but that doesn't mean he will only attack mindlessly.
Switching from offense to defense, the defense ability of the Judge is also very good, whether it is the White Peacock's full-group damage immunity, the Thrush's flexible first aid treatment, the Mantilla's resurrection, the Black Rhino's large-scale taunt, the Brown Bear's passive taunt...
The four judges cooperated very well. After Nirvana opened a gap in the previous wave, it was difficult for him to kill another card. And since the attack power of the cards on the field was reduced, it was also difficult for the judges to kill Nirvana's cards. Both sides were in a stalemate.
Three minutes into the game, the attack and defense of all cards on the field dropped to 0.
Right now.
The referee suddenly took action. Li Jiu summoned a large number of lively little animals - puppies, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and super cute marmosets the size of a palm. They all went out at the same time and instantly jumped into the Nirvana formation!
Since Qin Xuan used up too many taunt cards at the beginning, he could only summon new cards quickly and rely on group healing skills to withstand the damage.
But the critical hit of the Judgment's fire cards was too terrible, and it quickly killed Nirvana's useless cards one after another!
The card array numbers on the big screen began to change rapidly - 14:9!
14:10!
14:13!
Getting closer!
Nirvana will not sit idly by and wait for death. Xiao Ke decisively summons the Five Ghost Emperors - the ghost world highway is officially opened!
On the highway that extends in all directions, Qiao Sheng and Lian Cheng set out at the same time. Lian Cheng teleported to the group of animals at an extremely fast speed, specifically picking cards with defense reduced to 0 to kill, while Chen Xiao summoned a large number of group attack plant cards to help Xiao Ke make up for the damage.
15:13, Liancheng instantly killed a card.
At 16:16, Liancheng killed the judge's discarded card, and the hamster and marmoset also cooperated to bite to death Nirvana's three discarded cards.
The number of cards killed by both sides was actually tied, which shows how fierce the referee's counterattack was!
He absolutely could not let the referee gain the upper hand in this way. Xie Mingzhe calmly looked at the overall situation and finally played the fairy card in his hand - Tu Xingsun.
Most of the immortal cards float in the air, but Tuxingsun can burrow into the ground.
At this time, there were countless cards on the scene. Tu Xingsun disappeared into the ground immediately after he appeared on the scene. Few people noticed him. In addition, the scene was dimly lit, so even the audience with a bird's eye view did not notice him much.
Xie Mingzhe quietly controlled Tuxingsun, drilled into the ground and moved quickly, using the "Earth Escape Technique" to go directly to the rear of the Judgment, and then suddenly appeared -
After Tuxingsun burrows underground, the moment he breaks out of the ground, he will cause fear for 3 seconds to enemy targets within 5 meters, and increase his own attack power, attack speed, and critical strike by 50%. Then he will continue to attack melee targets with the iron stick in his hand!
The place where Xie Mingzhe let Tuxingsun break out of the ground happened to have three summoning social animal cards that had retreated to the rear - a zebra, an elk and a golden monkey. At this time, the defense of the three cards had dropped to 0, and the main card was also easy to find.
Tuxingsun suddenly appeared, catching Shao Dongyang off guard as he was concentrating on defending against the attack from the front.
3 cards were frightened and unable to move. Tuxingsun launched a critical attack and directly took away all three cards!
——At 19:16, the referee instantly killed three cards.
Fans: “???”
Suddenly three cards are lost, what happens?
Su Yang immediately called up the replay of the game, and only then did he see clearly what Xie Mingzhe did. He said, "Xie Mingzhe took advantage of the opponent's inattention to summon the Earth Walker, and performed a back-and-forth assassination underground, collecting Shao Dongyang's three discarded cards!"
There are too many cards in the endless mode, and it is impossible to pay attention to every card of the opponent. Therefore, the player's random response on the field becomes more important.
Just now, Xiao Ke opened the Ghost Realm Highway, attracting all the opponent's attention to the Liancheng and Qiaosheng duo moving on the highway. In addition, Chen Xiao opened a large number of plant groups to attack and pave the way. The referee decided that the cards to be avoided first must be those of Brother Chen and Xiao Ke.
In this situation, Xie Mingzhe quietly summoned the unearthed grandson to go around the ground.
Who can defend against this?
Even though Nie Yuandao has a lot of experience in big competitions, he still has a headache about Hsieh Ming-che's detour.
Moreover, Tu Xingsun is a normal attack card. If he is left alone, he will continue to interfere with the Judge's rear with his attack power increased. Nie Yuandao had to allocate a single control card to deal with Tu Xingsun and interrupt his iron stick critical attack.
But Liancheng was also difficult to deal with. Liancheng was floating all over the highway, sometimes hitting the east, sometimes hitting the west, and it was impossible to catch her.
This flexibility is even better than Li Jiu's "three burrows".
Wu Yue said excitedly: "The Five Ghost Emperor's Highway is obviously used to deal with the Judgment's small animal deck! In the second round, the Air Combat Nirvana suffered a loss from the small animals, so they came up with a strategy to deal with it - flexible against flexible, let's see who is more flexible!"
The small animals are small and can jump and teleport everywhere, but the Ghost Realm Highway accelerates all ghost cards. Yu Ke's cards can be used to fight against the small animals on the opposite side, reducing the pressure on Nirvana caused by the interference of the small animals.
——19:19!
Shanlan's air assault cards were suddenly deployed, the Falcon made continuous claw attacks, the Egret made a single critical hit, and the world's smallest bird "Hummingbird" surrounded them densely, causing a large-scale group attack. Shanlan forcibly took away the Nirvana 3 cards, and the number of death cards on both sides was tied again!
The audience held their breath nervously.
But the next moment, the gap widened again.
Because Xie Mingzhe summoned the Fengshen series of fairy cards.
Yang Jian opened his third eye - the handsome god of war in heaven. The moment he opened his third eye, a large group of enemy targets became stiff and unable to move for 3 seconds!
Following that, Yang Jian teleported to the back of the Judge, holding a three-pointed double-edged sword, and launched multiple gold critical strikes on melee targets within a 5-meter range. His adorable pet Roaring Sky Dog would also follow the rhythm of his master's attack, knocking down the targets attacked by his master and causing cooperative damage.
Yang Jian's critical hit was extremely terrifying, and the group of Judgment beasts that were surrounded by him were simply a disaster.
The attack power of the Heavenly God of War could not be stopped at all when the Judgment Beasts' defense was reduced to 0...
The Judge was attacked from both sides and had to continue to summon defensive cards.
22:19!
Yang Jian, operated by Xie Mingzhe, played extremely violently, instantly collecting 4 cards from his opponent and widening the gap again.
Following closely, Li Jing, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, and Nezha—the linked cards of the Investiture of the Gods appeared at the same time!
Li Jing threw the pagoda in her hand and activated two skills in succession, Pagoda to Suppress Demons and Pagoda to Subdue Monsters. First, the pagoda suddenly enlarged and rose to high altitude, causing fear for 3 seconds in a large area of 30 meters. Then the pagoda descended and trapped the beasts within a range of 10 meters into the tower, causing continuous damage.
Jin Zha threw out the magic weapon "Seven Treasures Golden Lotus", and the magic weapon in his hand turned into a huge wooden pillar 3 meters high. Three golden iron rings were thrown in three directions, accurately catching Shanlan's three bird cards.
The bird is pulled back to the wooden pillar by the golden iron ring and fixed, causing critical damage every second for 5 seconds.
This "ring-tossing" skill was like the game that children play where they use rings to catch gifts, which made many spectators scream in surprise.
However, the best is yet to come.
The second brother Mu Zha appeared, using the female sword in his hand to deal continuous normal attack damage, aiming at the three bird cards pulled back by the eldest brother.
Nezha was the last to appear. He was a very arrogant young man, standing on a wind-fire wheel, holding a flaming spear, and wearing a Hun Tian Ling. He teleported to the side of his eldest brother Jinzha, and developed three heads and six arms and entered a violent state. The flaming spear continuously attacked the bird target tied up by the golden iron ring, and added a burning state to the target, losing 5% of its health per second.
This family appeared at the same time, Li Jing controlled, Jin Zha pulled the bird, Mu Zha and Nezha attacked, and instantly took away Shanlan’s 3 cards!
The cards tied to the wooden pillars couldn't move at all and were killed in a flash.
25:19!
The judge found that Nirvana started to attack from the front and back. The attack was too fierce and difficult to withstand. Nie Yuandao had to fight violence with violence and let Shanlan continue to summon bird cards to cooperate with Li Jiu's small animals and Nie Yuandao's newly summoned beasts to fight head-on -
Nirvana had fewer defensive cards, so the frontal attack that was judged killed 4 cards, and the number of cards killed on both sides became 25:23!
However, the next moment, Nezha's family suddenly started to interact.
Nezha is causing trouble in the sea!
At the moment the linkage was turned on, the audience finally saw the linkage setting of the four cards clearly -
Nezha made a mistake and was unwilling to implicate his parents. After meeting his father Li Jing, he cut off his flesh and bones and returned his body to his father to repay his father for raising him. However, he was reborn with the help of the lotus - Nezha died immediately after activating the linkage, and a lotus grew under his feet, automatically regenerating and refreshing all his skills.
When Li Jing heard that his younger son had made a mistake, he decided to kill his own son for the sake of justice. In a state of grief and anger, Li Jing refreshed all his skills, took the Linglong Pagoda to capture Nezha, and teleported in front of Nezha.
Jin Zha refreshes the magic weapon CD of the Seven Treasures Golden Lotus and prepares to capture the younger brother. Mu Zha follows his father and brother to capture the third brother, but is afraid that he will not be able to defeat him, so he increases his attack and critical strike by 50% for 10 seconds.
Audience: “………………”
So this is the story of the father, the eldest brother, and the second brother, working together to capture the younger brother?
Once the linkage is turned on, the skills of the family of four will all be refreshed.
Xie Mingzhe asked Nezha to teleport to the side of the Judges formation. After Li Jing coordinated, she teleported to her son's side. The father and son cooperated to control the situation. With the help of Jin Zha's ring and Mu Zha's male and female swords, another 3 cards of the Judges were killed by Nezha.
——27:24!
Nie Yuan said: “…”
After playing so many games, today was the most tiring one ever!
Not only mentally exhausted, but also emotionally exhausted.
The deck of Nezha making trouble in the sea is really annoying, with multiple teleports, and the father and son jointly refreshing their skills. The lark, egret, and flying geese that were flying far away in Shanlan were actually forcibly pulled back to the wooden pillar by the golden circle, and were killed in one move by Nezha. It's simply unscientific!
In fact, up to now, careful professional players have also found that the referees have unknowingly fallen into passivity, and they seem to be exhausted in catching up with the card difference. However, Nirvana has firmly taken the initiative. As long as the opponent is about to catch up with the card difference, Nirvana will summon new cards and force the card difference to widen again.
In the fierce battle of chasing each other, Nirvana always pays attention to the total number of card deaths. When the opponent is about to catch up, a burst of attacks will widen the gap. This style of play makes it difficult for the referee to overtake the card difference.
The game was going to the final moments.
The card difference was still only 3 cards, so Nie Yuandao decided to launch a fierce attack and reversed the card difference in one go.
But at this moment, Qin Xuan summoned Cao Cao.
——The whole nation is united.
Forcefully absorbs a large range of attacks and converts part of the attacks into one's own health.
A blood-sucking taunt card. The stronger the opponent's attack, the more blood Cao Cao will suck. With the protection of the treatment card, with Cao Cao, teammates will not die for a while. Qin Xuan specifically left Cao Cao behind to deal with a wave of explosions at the last minute.
All the netizens who had just complained about Nirvana using too many taunt cards in the live broadcast room shut up.
Nirvana does not use cards indiscriminately.
They were confident about their overall tactics.
Start with a Taunt card and end perfectly with a Taunt card.
——The number of cards killed by both sides is 35:32, Nirvana wins!
Until the result popped up on the big screen, the fans of the referee were still unwilling to accept it. Many fans shed tears of sadness. They almost surpassed the number of cards several times, but in the end they failed to catch up. Nirvana's fans just felt scared. In this game, the number of cards sent by both sides exceeded 60, which was much higher than the previous match against the Temple of the Gods.
Su Yang sighed, "In fact, the key rhythm points of this game are two waves. The first wave is the perfect counterattack of the four Nirvana players. Xiao Ke's Gong Sun Jiu Niang started the ghost marriage, instantly separating the battlefield and making it impossible for the opponent to retreat or provide support. Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe's group attack cards appeared one after another, and Sun Er Niang killed her teammates and made them into human meat buns. A big rhythm turned the number of death cards into 14:7."
"The second wave of rhythm is the appearance of the immortal cards of the Conferred Gods series - Tu Xingsun and Yang Jian unexpectedly surrounded each other and collected 7 cards in a row. The system output of Nezha's family is also very terrifying."
"When the referee launched an all-out attack, Nirvana immediately counterattacked. Xie Mingzhe's tactical decision was very decisive. If he had hesitated for two seconds, the referee would have definitely reversed the advantage in an instant!"
Even though the number of death cards was 7 cards short, Judgment was still able to make up the difference in the mid-game, which shows how fierce Judgment's offensive power is.
But Xie Mingzhe was indeed decisive enough.
Watching Lao Nie's fierce attack, he used the strategy of "quick battle and quick decision" and "fight violence with violence" to forcibly go around and kill the Judge and destroy the cards. The flexible and high burst of Tu Xingsun and Yang Jian, plus the strong control and burst of Nezha's family, enabled the Judge and Nirvana teams to maintain a delicate balance in the number of cards destroyed at the critical moment in the middle of the game.
The judge caught up.
But it cannot be surpassed.
In the end, Qin Xuan used Cao Cao to withstand the referee's counterattack, and Nirvana won the victory safely.
Wu Yue was so excited that her voice was shaking. "I was speechless watching this match. The fight between the two sides was too intense, especially in the mid-game. The number of card deaths was very close, 16:16, 19:19, 28:28, and finally confirmed to be 35:32. Both sides played very well. I can only say that Nirvana's tactics were more clever. Several layouts at critical moments allowed them to win the final game!"
Liu Chen didn't know how to comment.
After being a commentator for so many years, for the first time, he felt that the poor vocabulary in his mind was not enough to describe Xie Mingzhe's performance in the final game today. The 19-year-old boy was smart in tactical layout, careful in seizing opportunities, and decisive in counterattacks - Xie Mingzhe controlled the overall rhythm and successfully led the team to victory.
Being able to win under such fierce attack from the referees, Nirvana really looked like a champion after this game and was qualified to enter the finals of this season.
Liu Chen thought for a moment and felt that his exaggerated words might be suspected of flattery, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Let us congratulate Nirvana for entering the final of the 11th season team competition as the first place in Group B!"
The screen in the live broadcast room was filled with 6666, and the news that Nirvana had entered the finals quickly spread throughout the entire Internet.
But...
After the competition, there were many complaints in the discussion area:
"Although Nirvana won, it can't cover up the abnormality of their deck!"
"The last scene was a large-scale card dating love scene, torturing us singles. This scene is a large-scale family ethics drama, with the father, the eldest brother and the second brother hunting down the youngest brother. The relationships within the family are extremely chaotic. I feel dizzy!"
"And Sun Erniang, from the perspective of card ethics, killing teammates and using their bodies as meat fillings to make buns is a violation of card ethics. We must resolutely resist it!"
"The last show was a musical + a romantic idol drama, and today it's become a card ethics drama?"
"Director Zhe, whenever you make a movie, I will definitely support you!"
Tang Muzhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room.
Director Zhe still has a lot of dramas to do, so fans don’t have to be impatient.
Tang Muzhou was in a great mood to meet his junior apprentice in the finals. In the final, Nirvana vs. Fenghua, the promise he and Azhe made to encourage each other actually came true.
On the big stage, Xie Mingzhe, Chen Xiao, Yu Ke and Qin Xuan walked over and shook hands with the referees in a friendly manner. Then they stood side by side and bowed deeply to the audience.
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
Many of Nirvana's fans were so excited that they shed tears and held various cheering posters high above their heads.
From fourth in the regular season to first in the playoffs.
Nirvana took a long time to grow.
In the doubles competition, the strong duo of Xie Mingzhe and Chen Xiao deliberately broke up in order to help Xiao Ke and Qin Xuan get familiar with the rhythm of the competition as soon as possible and improve their own level and awareness - they all regretted not making it to the semi-finals, but they never regretted it.
In the individual competition, Xie Mingzhe openly gave up his rights despite the huge public pressure, becoming the first person in the history of the professional league to give up his rights in an individual competition. He was scolded by countless netizens, but he never refuted it - because at that time, he was racing against time to make cards and make the best preparations for the Nirvana team competition.
Today, it has proven to be worth it.
Nirvana went from the bottom of the group to the top, successfully completing a counterattack!
Their team has grown into an indestructible one!
The four players are telling fans with practical actions that we four have lived up to everyone's expectations and have made it to the eleventh season's team battle finals!
