Neither side called for a timeout, and the second game started quickly.

Selected by Nirvana.

The moment the map frame popped up, Xie Mingzhe immediately submitted his selection - desert ruins!

It is also a map from Ghost Hell. The background and color tone are very similar to the Wasteland Stone Formation. I didn't expect Xie Mingzhe and Tang Muzhou to be so in sync in choosing maps. They all chose early maps of Ghost Hell.

"Today, this pair of brothers really favored us, Guiyu!" Zheng Feng smiled and touched his chin, "They both chose the earth map I made. I am really flattered."

"The Desert Ruins' tactics are also very complicated." Ling Jingtang stared at the big screen calmly and analyzed, "Nirvana is trying to make full use of the cover on the map and fight a defensive counterattack. Maybe they think it's too risky to fight Fenghua head-on."

"Well, Desert Ruins is a very classic defensive counterattack map. In this game, Nirvana's deck will most likely include cards with strong defensive capabilities such as Zhuge Liang, Sun Ce, Hua Tuo, and Cao Cao. Chen Xiao will definitely bring Vampire Vine, and Xiao Ke may bring Wei Zheng and Du Liniang's blood-replenishing system, and Qin Guangwang's Mirror Table, looking for opportunities to counterattack the opponent."

"As for Fenghua, if the opponent wants to play a defensive counterattack, Tang Muzhou can either use the Flower offensive lineup to directly defeat Nirvana, or use the defensive lineup to consume the opponent. However, with Tang Muzhou's style, I think he is more inclined to use the strongest offense to break the opponent's defense."

Zheng Feng's analysis of the decks was very thorough. What was frightening was that when the map ended and both parties announced their decks, Zheng Feng had guessed more than 70% of the Nirvana and Fenghua card lineups correctly.

"As expected of a master of tactics." Nie Yuandao, who heard the conversation nearby, praised casually.

"Haha, who told me I know this map too well?" Zheng Feng accepted the compliment with a smile, and then asked, "Fenghua used a flower attacking formation, and Nirvana has strong defensive capabilities. Who do you think has a greater chance of winning?"

"Not necessarily." Nie Yuan said he didn't want to guess. It would be boring to always guess right.

"Who did Xiaolan throw the coin to guess?" Zheng Feng continued to ask.

"I didn't pitch this round." Shan Lan smiled politely at his senior.

"You two have really learned a lot." Zheng Feng wanted to get some information out of him, but Nie Lan and his disciple tacitly didn't want to say anything. Instead, Ling Jingtang interrupted and said, "I'm optimistic about Feng Hua."

"Oh? How do you mean?"

"Tang Muzhou is in very good condition. Fenghua's Nirvana may not be able to defend against it." Ling Jingtang paused and added, "As for the map effect of the desert ruins, both sides are very familiar with this kind of map. They will not be stupid enough to attack when there is counterattack. Once Nirvana is breached, it will be difficult to turn the tables."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Zheng Feng insisted on singing a different tune, "But I think Nirvana has more hope. I am optimistic about Nirvana." Ling Jingtang looked at him and said nothing more.

As the game started, the viewing area immediately became quiet and everyone was staring at the big screen intently.

The Desert Ruins map is loading.

The effect of this map is that a dirt wall will appear on the map every 30 seconds, and the dirt wall will counterattack all the damages from both sides. In the second season, Zheng Feng used this "earth wall counterattack flow" to beat other teams, and Desert Ruins became the most popular map in the second season.

Later, after everyone figured out how to play this map, the commanders of each major team learned how to attack by pacing the rhythm.

It was Chen Qianlin's idea for Nirvana to choose this defensive counterattack map. He felt that Fenghua's wood-based plant cards had strong attacks and a lot of control, especially the succulent control style and vine binding style, which were very difficult to crack. Using this kind of counterattack map can greatly reduce Fenghua's lethality and interrupt Fenghua's rhythm.

With Fenghua's rhythm being interrupted continuously, Xie Mingzhe finds opportunities more easily.

Xie Mingzhe is a conductor who is very good at seizing opportunities. As they are at home, they naturally want to expand their advantage.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very bleak.

Tang Muzhou's understanding of Xie Mingzhe is not only that of a senior brother understanding a junior brother, but also an understanding of Azhe's style, personality, and even thoughts from such a long time of getting along with each other. It can be said that in some aspects, Tang Muzhou's understanding of Xie Mingzhe is even deeper than that of his master Chen Qianlin.

Winning by surprise is Xie Mingzhe's greatest characteristic when he is a coach. Being good at creating miracles is the style of the entire Nirvana team. However, the premise of being good at seizing opportunities is that the opponent gives you opportunities, and the premise of defensive counterattack is that you have to be able to defend!

Therefore, facing his junior's extremely difficult defensive formation, Tang Muzhou directly launched a simple and rough offensive formation.

I'll make sure you can't hold on!

The appearance of the instant death card greatly accelerated the pace of the game. Tang Muzhou used the instant death card to deal with Hua Tuo at the beginning.

Hua Tuo and Taunt are the classic combination of Nirvana, which can make the Taunt card refresh skills all the time. Hua Tuo's death forced Qin Xuan to revive, and at the same time, Xie Mingzhe also used Lin Daiyu to kill the opponent's strongest flower in seconds.

At the beginning of the game, both sides exchanged two death cards 1 for 1, and played very fiercely.

Nirvana's defensive ability is really strong. Qin Xuan brought four healing cards and a Li Wan who is invincible to the whole group. Xiao Ke brought the blood-adding system of Wei Zheng and Du Liniang, as well as the anti-injury card Qin Guangwang. Xie Mingzhe brought Zhuge Liang, a card of invisibility, control, and damage absorption. All the cards brought by Chen Xiao have blood-sucking functions.

Hard to kill, so hard to kill!

This is the intuitive feeling that the audience gets when they see this deck.

Of course, the flaw of the ultimate defense is that the output is not enough, so Xie Mingzhe will definitely keep some violent output in his hidden cards.

The card gap between the two sides was very close. After Hua Tuo was resurrected and used all his skills, Feng Hua focused all his firepower on killing two taunt cards, but too many skills were used up. During Feng Hua's critical attack, Yu Ke opened the Mirror of Qin Guangwang -

Group backlash!

Xiao Ke's counterattack was very clever, causing all of Fenghua's attacks to be bounced back. But Tang Muzhou actually took it without even using blood recovery. Shen An's fruit random shooting was blocked by Xie Mingzhe's straw boat borrowing arrows at the right time, and all of them were bounced back!

Two consecutive large-scale rebounds destroyed almost all of Fenghua's cards.

At this time, an earth wall appeared on the scene separating the two sides. Skills that hit the earth wall would be reflected back, but Xie Mingzhe summoned Tuxingsun.

This card is the key to Desert Ruins - it can burrow underground and is not affected by earth walls.

Tuxingsun escaped underground and swung the stick in his hand, killing Fenghua's three bloody cards in a wave of explosions.

There was warm applause from the audience.

The Tu Xingsun controlled by Xie Mingzhe was in great momentum and killed 3 cards in a row, opening the way for Nirvana!

The moment the earth wall disappeared, Qin Xuan immediately activated Li Wan's full-group invincibility to prevent the opponent's strong control.

Qin Xuan's awareness was very good, and Fenghua really gave up control. Xie Mingzhe called Lin Chong and Yan Qing to cooperate, and teleported over to collect 3 cards. The card difference suddenly widened to 6 cards.

Su Yang praised: "Beautiful! Nirvana's game is a classic rhythm-based counterattack play. When the opponent attacks, use various counter-injury, absorption, and taunt skills to hold them back. When the opponent is at low health, immediately use the output card to harvest."

"The rhythm on Fenghua's side seemed a bit chaotic. The first few attacks were ineffective. In addition, the appearance of the earth wall on the scene forcibly interrupted the rhythm. The fight was indeed restrained..." Wu Yue's voice had just fallen when the kill prompt that popped up on the screen slapped her in the face.

——The black mamba killed Yan Qing.

The snake card was used to circle around and the man was killed instantly. It was Zhen Man who took action!

Xie Mingzhe also felt a chill down his spine when he saw the prompt.

As a commander, he had to have a bird's-eye view of the overall situation. However, he did not see when Zhen Man released the snake, because Fenghua had lost too many cards in this round, and the flowers of Senior Brother and Xu Changfeng had been suppressing the firepower from a distance, and Shen An's fruit trees would sprinkle a bunch of fruits all over the sky without stopping...

There are too many points that Nirvana wants to defend, and it is impossible to cover them all.

Therefore, he missed Zhen Man!

Sister Man is not a core player in Fenghua and rarely receives special attention, but don’t forget that this player who has won the runner-up in the individual competition can always stand up and become the core - Fenghua has never had Tang Muzhou as the core alone, but all four players can be the core.

Zhen Man's snake took advantage of the complex terrain of the desert ruins and quietly slithered under the wall.

She did not move when the earth wall appeared, and she was still waiting for an opportunity when Nirvana released Tuxingsun, until Xie Mingzhe summoned Yan Qing, teleported over to collect 2 cards in a row and then teleported back to the rear, her snake card suddenly moved out, catching Yan Qing off guard and instantly killing him!

If Zhen Man is a hunter, then she is a very good hunter.

——Know how to be patient, and be able to seize the most critical prey at the most appropriate time.

Tang Muzhou's strategy was very calm: "We will suppress them with heavy firepower from the front, so that they can't be distracted. Then we will go around and kill their main output cards in seconds. Their defense is very strong, but once the key output cards die, they will fall apart without any attack."

The Snake brand's detour really caught Xie Mingzhe off guard.

But he reacted very quickly, forcing Zhuge Liang to turn off his invisibility and scatter all his cards.

After all, Zhen Man has rich experience in competitions. As a player trained by Tang Muzhou himself, she can also control multiple lines. The nimble little snakes quickly dispersed under her control, using the large number of ruins in the desert ruins to cover their own bodies.

Except for the giant golden python, the other snakes are very small and cannot be found behind the wall.

At the rhythm of the second wave of earth wall counterattack, Fenghua's frontal attacking deck suddenly scattered in three directions.

Shen An continued to use the fruit tree to attract the opponent's attention; Tang Muzhou and Xu Changfeng cooperated with Zhen Man to roam in three lanes. These three players with extremely high control ability roamed in the "Desert Ruins" terrain with a large number of earth walls. Even if their cards were at low health, it was difficult to kill them for a while. The card gap that Nirvana had opened at the beginning was quickly recovered.

The remaining cards of both sides went from 14:14 to 6:6, and the situation was quite sticky.

With 6 cards left each, Zheng Feng, who was watching the game from the backstage, sighed: "Nirvana can't hold on any longer."

Because Nirvana was left with 5 assists and 1 output, Fenghua was all output, including Zhen Man's 3 snake cards and Tang Muzhou's 3 flowers. Nirvana's assist cards were all inactive due to the opponent's heavy firepower suppression.

Xu Changfeng and Shen An's cards were all destroyed, but Tang Muzhou and Zhen Man's 6 most flexible output cards all survived to the end.

Xie Mingzhe used his remaining cards to kill the opponent's 2 cards under the protection of his teammates, but Tang and Man also killed his cards. Half a minute later, Fenghua secured the victory with a 4-card advantage!

Su Yang quickly interpreted the key rhythmic points of the entire match and said to the audience, "Niepan played very well at the beginning, but Fenghua's style of play was more flexible, from Zhen Man's silent detour to Tang Muzhou, Xu Changfeng, and Zhen Man's separate guerrilla warfare. Niepan could defend against one person, but not three at the same time."

Su Yang pondered for a moment and made another analogy: "It's like an elephant with thick skin and flesh encountering a few agile falcons. Although it won't die in a short time, the falcons are fast, flexible, and have many ways of attacking. It's only a matter of time before Nirvana can't defend against them."

Liu Chen said with emotion: "Tang Muzhou is too extreme. Including the hidden cards, he brought a total of 15 loss cards in this game. In terms of support, he only brought 3 control cards and 2 treatment cards. Fenghua seems vulnerable in defense, but after the lineup is completely scattered, they don't care about defense anymore. The three players of Fenghua rely solely on personal operations to move around, which will be difficult for the opponent to catch."

Su Yang nodded: "That's right, Tang Muzhou almost gave up defense and only used treatment to save his life at the critical moment. Fenghua used a multi-directional attack mode to tear open a gap in Nirvana's formation - Tang Muzhou seemed to be telling his junior brother that the most powerful attack is the best defense!"

Xie Mingzhe: “…”

Xie Mingzhe, who usually had a bright smile on his face after a competition, fell silent at this moment.

His expression was not ugly, but it was more serious than ever before.

In the first game, Tang Muzhou's home tactical chess was one step ahead, and he fell into the trap dug by his senior brother when he was about to win - Shi Xiu's visual reconnaissance was used by Tang Muzhou to set a trap and lure him into it. He wanted to bury the opponent to death, but the mechanism was buried by the collapsed stone pillar and five cards were lost.

The loss of this round was actually quite unexpected. In just those 3 seconds, the senior brother made one more step than he expected. Xie Mingzhe had nothing to complain about.

But the second game was Nirvana's home court. The defensive counterattack that was originally planned with full confidence was not fully implemented. Tang Muzhou defeated Nirvana in the simplest and most brutal way - using a sharp spear to pierce the solid shield!

Fenghua is indeed terrible.

Except for Xiao An who is a little weak, Tang Muzhou, Xu Changfeng, and Zhen Man can all stand out as the core. He focused on taking care of his senior brother, but was surrounded and killed by Zhen Man; he focused on paying attention to Zhen Man, but Tang Muzhou took the opportunity to escape...

Multi-core array.

A losing card that can't be killed.

What's the point of defending? It's just a slow death.

Xie Mingzhe encountered many difficulties during this league. In the regular season, Nirvana's initial results were not good and the team often fell behind by a large margin, but he was always able to stabilize the situation.

In the first playoffs, Nirvana played very badly against the sudden substitution of the All-Gods in the Temple. They were defeated in the first game, but they quickly came back in the second game. In the second game, against the Judge, the air battle map was thrilling and exciting, just like dumplings, and he was nervous, but he quickly recovered.

But today, Xie Mingzhe felt an unprecedented huge pressure.

Because the person sitting opposite him is not only his senior brother, but also the lover who knows him best.

Ever since he was a novice and had just made the instant death card "Lin Daiyu", Tang Muzhou had walked into his life, guiding him to make instant death cards that would trick the entire alliance, teaching him how to use instant death cards, and guiding him to learn how to distribute card data...

After getting to know his master, Tang Muzhou took over the role of a senior and trained Xie Mingzhe and the members of Fenghua Team 2 many times, allowing Xie Mingzhe to improve rapidly.

It can be said that Tang Muzhou saw every step of his growth.

Tang Muzhou is a legend in the professional league. In the fifth season when he was young, he won the championship with 50 consecutive wins in the individual competition. Later, in the ninth and eleventh seasons, he won the "Triple Crown" in the individual competition, an unsurpassed achievement. He personally founded the Fenghua Club, and the players Zhen Man and Xu Changfeng brought up by him have also won the runner-up in the individual competition, and his apprentice Shen An is the winner of the Best Newcomer Award.

Tang Muzhou's personal strength, card-making talent, reaction speed, command ability, and tactical layout are all the best in the professional league. In addition, he has accumulated six years of competition experience.

How can we defeat a senior brother like this?

How to win?!

Xie Mingzhe could always find a way out of a tough situation, but this time, he really didn't know what tactics his senior brother couldn't think of? Tang Muzhou could even use his tactical thinking to set a trap for him in the first round!

It is a blessing to meet a lover who understands you.

But meeting an opponent who knows you so well is the greatest misfortune!

Xie Mingzhe's mind was a little confused. He was also a human being and had emotions. After falling behind for two consecutive games and losing to the person who knew him best, Xie Mingzhe was at a loss for a moment.

At this moment, the red light came on.

The referee said: "Nirvana coach Chen Qianlin requests a suspension."

A gentle hand fell on Xie Mingzhe's shoulder, and then, a voice as clear as a mountain spring passed by his ears. Chen Qianlin said to Xie Mingzhe slowly in his usual emotionless voice: "Azhe, you put too much pressure on yourself, wake up quickly."

Xie Mingzhe raised his head and met his master's calm gaze. He saw a small reflection of himself there.

Xie Mingzhe suddenly woke up: "I... I was distracted just now."

Chen Qianlin nodded at him and said gently, "It's normal. Commanders will feel confused sometimes. But don't forget, we are a team - Fenghua is not just Tang Muzhou's core, and our Nirvana is not just you, Xie Mingzhe, fighting alone."
