Chapter 1861: The Iron Tree Blossoms? The Second Round of War Begins!
They were sure that this guy was really trying to cause trouble!
Of course, this does not mean that everyone thinks Li Sitong is weak.
Quite the opposite.
Because he is Fang Yun's apprentice, Li Sitong's Dragon Palace's overall hardware can definitely be considered among the best in the team.
Of course, this is excluding the thousand-character prefix.
But here's the thing.
Although there is no problem with Li Sitong's ability.
But this round is not as good as the last one.
In the last round, the Chinese team showed weakness at the start and were eliminated as expected.
But this time, Wangfujing is really standing on the edge of a cliff.
There are only three rounds in the quarterfinals round-robin.
In the case of first round defeat.
They must secure points in the second round to pull themselves back from the brink.
In other words, in this round of confrontation with Bianliang City, Wangfujing will definitely fight for its life!
Of course.
Judging from the previous record of the two teams' encounters.
Wangfujing was basically unilaterally beaten by Bianliang City. Not to mention winning, there were not many times that it could last more than 20 minutes.
Such an exaggerated win-loss ratio.
Normally speaking, even if Wangfujing really tries its best, it will probably be of no use.
But it happened at this time.
However, Fang Yun took the initiative to let 98k and Qianlian both go on the bench. Even core players such as Qiange Sujiu were not on the field. Instead, he planned to send four substitutes and one and a half main players.
No matter how you look at it, this operation seems a bit weird.
Yemei heard that Fang Yun has a good relationship with someone in Wangfujing, so why is he suddenly going to let him go?
"Well... Master Cheng, tell me the truth, do you have any feelings for the White Demon Fairy?"
After a slight hesitation, Shouye couldn't help but asked cautiously.
Hear the words.
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"You're letting it go too obviously!"
Seeing Fang Yun's puzzled expression, Shou Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "Looking at the intensity of your release, other than you have feelings for the White Demon Fairy and want to win her favor in this way, I really can't think of a second reason!"
"No...Is it not possible that I want Xiaotong to go up there to gain some experience?"
Seeing that Beast Master had misunderstood, even the others looked as if they knew everything but were unwilling to say anything.
Fang Yun was a little confused and asked subconsciously.
"Pull him down!"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this. As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard Huang He complain, "Let's not talk about whether Xiaotong needs experience at her level. Even if she does need experience, when did you not personally escort her? But what about this time?"
"Don't explain, Lao Fang. Explanation is a cover-up, and cover-up is the truth!"
"It's not easy! Our iron tree will bloom one day, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."
"If that's the reason, then I can barely accept this round of arrangements. Nothing in the world is as important as the boss's business!"
"Say less, don't you see that our boss is a little embarrassed?"
As soon as Huang He opened his mouth, the others couldn't hold back any more and started teasing him one after another.
The misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger.
Fang Yun was almost dumbfounded and was just about to explain that he really had no feelings towards the White Demon Fairy.
But on second thought, especially after hearing someone say that if this is the reason, then this round of lineup arrangement can be accepted.
He immediately swallowed back the words he was about to explain.
It doesn’t matter if there is a misunderstanding, it will be resolved soon anyway.
But if this misunderstanding can be used to allow everyone to pass this round of arrangements, it would obviously be a bit unreasonable.
Then he still made money.
As for why he insisted on using an ultimate substitute lineup this round.
It’s not that he thinks Wangfujing is bad, nor does he want to deliberately make his team lose.
Instead, he wanted to take a chance on a "possibility" through this artificially created "evenly matched" duel!
"It's up to you guys to think about it. Anyway, the lineup is like this. If everyone has no objection, let's get ready for the game!"
Waving his hand, Fang Yun did not explain and started to make arrangements for the next step.
And when everyone saw that he didn't even give an explanation, they couldn't help but smile more ambiguously.
Of course, Li Sitong and Sujiu and a few other girls are excluded.
At this moment, Li Sitong's expression was unusually serious, in Fang Yun's opinion.
Perhaps it was because this was her first time to face a challenge alone without her master to protect her.
After a while.
Wait for Xiaoqing to come and inform them that the players from each team are ready to go on stage.
Li Sitong and the other four members of Sun clenched their fists, then left the lounge and headed for the stage amid the cheers of Fang Yun and the others.
Live auditorium.
As the players from each team took to the stage in the second round of the quarter-finals round-robin.
After discovering that each team had made lineup adjustments to varying degrees, the audience couldn't help but start talking about it.
"Good boy, it seems that the results of the first round have a great impact on each team."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Take the Baihua Village for example. They lost a match in the first round of the quarterfinals. If they don't fight to the death in this match, they'll probably be kicked out!"
"Wow! If Baihua Village is eliminated in the quarterfinals, won't all the major forums crash?"
"It's definitely going to crash! But this possibility is not very high. After all, their opponent in the first round is 2008, and what can I say about this team of 2008... In theory, they are completely unique in this class!"
"Fuck! Let's not talk about Baihua Village for now, let's look at Bianliang City!"
"The Sun, the Sword, the Love of the Harp and the Se, the Love of Heaven and... is that Xue Jian?!"
"Where's Brother Cheng? Where is my brother Cheng?"
"Oh my god! Bianliang City is really playing with abstraction again. Is it okay to directly use five substitutes in the second round?"
"Xuejian isn't considered a substitute, right? Even though she hasn't played many games, she's still very strong."
"No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than Brother K and Sister Lian?"
"I remember their opponent this round was Wangfujing, right? And Wangfujing lost in the first round... Damn, could it be that Bianliang City is deliberately giving Wangfujing an easy win?!"
"It shouldn't be the case. Anyway, I haven't heard of any relationship between these two teams..."
"I used to think they had no relationship with Gusu City, but what happened? In that year's All-Star Game, Gusu City's top four were completely forced into the finals by Bianliang City!"
"Is there something going on between Brother Cheng and the White Demon Fairy?"
"It's weird, let's take a look first..."
As players from eight teams took to the stage one after another.
At the beginning, the content of everyone's discussion was quite normal, basically revolving around the lineup changes of each team.
Until Li Sitong and the Sun Four came on stage.
When they found out that Fang Yun was missing from Bianliang City this round, and even the entire lineup was made up of substitutes.
Many people, especially the audience in Bianliang City, were stunned on the spot!
Not Big Brother.
This is the second round of the All-Star offline quarterfinals round-robin.
Even if you win the first round, it's not the time to let yourself go, right?
Especially since everyone knows it.
Wangfujing, which lost unexpectedly to Zhuzifang in the last round, will definitely fight hard to score points in this round.
As a result, Bianliang City not only did not take it seriously, but also took the initiative to reduce the opponent's strength.
This was something that no one expected, let alone understood!
At this time, the thoughts in many people's minds were surprisingly consistent with those of the Beast Masters and others in the lounge.
That is, they think that the reason why Bianliang City put in a lot of substitutes in this round was to give Wangfujing some slack.
And if there is anything about Wangfujing that is worthy of them doing this, it seems that it is only the White Magic Fairy...
all in all.
This round of lineup changes in Bianliang City really exceeded everyone's expectations.
But except for the fans of Brother K in Bianliang City and Qiancheng.
Others, especially the audience in Wangfujing.
The expression at this moment was one of overjoyed!
seriously.
After an unexpected loss in the first round, they were drawn against Bianliang City, their biological father, in the second round.
The audience in Wangfujing really wanted to die.
The loss to Zhu Zifang in the first round can be considered an unexpected upset.
But the second round was different.
Unless they unexpectedly fail in the second round, they will be swept out by Bianliang City again!
And if they lose again in the second round.
Wangfujing, which started with 0-2, has little chance of advancing to the semi-finals even if it wins the last game.
In other words.
In the eyes of Wangfujing players.
The moment they were drawn against Bianliang City in the second round, it basically announced that their All-Star journey was coming to an end...
But I never expected it.
Just when everyone in Wangfujing, from the contestants to the audience, had despaired and were even considering how to hold a meeting after being eliminated.
The city of Bianliang took the initiative to offer assists.
They actually put out a whole lineup of substitutes!
Although objectively speaking.
Even if it is an all-substitute lineup, with the foundation of Bianliang City and the past performance of this group of substitutes.
As long as they are given a different server, they will definitely be the main force and will be able to advance to the knockout stage!
It can be compared with the two monsters 98k and Qianlian.
The four members of Taiyang and Xuejian immediately became handsome in the eyes of everyone in Wangfujing.
If either 98k or Qianlian were deployed in Bianliang City this time.
This game is basically unplayable.
But without them.
Although it is still difficult to win, the winning rate has instantly soared from zero to between 30-50%.
It's no exaggeration to say that the difference between them is as great as heaven and earth!
So one can imagine.
After seeing the contestants from Bianliang City appear.
The pale faces of the White Demon Immortals on the stage quickly turned rosy visibly, as if they had come back to life.
"I won't say any more nonsense. Since our opponent has given us a chance, all we have to do is try our best!"
He took a deep breath and gathered with his teammates in the lounge.
The White Demon Fairy's tone was more serious than ever before. After encouraging everyone with a few words, he immediately entered combat mode!
After hearing what the White Demon Fairy said, the others quickly got into the state.
The last moment they were still thinking about packing up and going home.
But at this time they only had one idea -
We must win this game, even if it means using all our skills and dragging it to a draw or relying on luck!
Hold such a belief.
As time came to three o'clock in the afternoon.
The lights on top of the stadium suddenly dimmed, and the second round of the round-robin competition finally officially began!
"The second round of the quarterfinals has officially begun. I wonder what Mr. Lu thinks about the results of this round?"
The battle officially began with eight teams competing in four groups.
Take advantage of the slower pace of the game.
Lu Qi and Xiao Fei, the commentators, also joined the group chat at the appropriate time.
"I can't say I have a brilliant opinion, but as a member of Baihua Village, after losing to 2008 in the last round, I am a little worried about Baihua Village's performance in this round..."
After expressing his concerns, Lu Qi continued, "As for the other three groups, it's unlikely that 2008 and Zhuzifang will be upset again. The situation with Lantingxu and Huaxia is similar. The only difference is that I can't see through the group of Bianliangcheng and Wangfujing."
"Oh? It seems that even Teacher Lu didn't quite understand Bianliang City's changes in formation this time, right?"
I heard Lu Qi finally mention the city of Bianliang.
Xiao Fei's heart moved, and she continued, "Actually, I don't quite understand it. Although the lineup of Bianliang City this year is not as gorgeous as in previous years, after all, there are top players like 98k and Qianlian. But in this match against Wangfujing, we didn't see them. Even the regular main player is only Xuejian..."
"I personally feel that Bianliang City may have fallen into its old habit again, which is that in games that are not very important, they like to use a low-intensity lineup to train their players."
Nodding slightly, Lu Qi tried to analyze: "As for why they want to practice in this round, it is probably because after Wangfujing lost in the first round, they will definitely strike hard in this round, so Bianliang City wants to use this opportunity to test the true strength of their substitute lineup!"
"I see!"
Hearing Lu Qi’s clear and logical analysis.
Although Xiaofei did not agree with everything, she managed to resolve the doubts in her heart.
In fact, there was something that neither of them said.
This round, Bianliang City suddenly put out a whole lineup of substitutes.
You can say they are training their substitute players, but from the audience's perspective.
This is actually more like releasing water to Wangfujing.
It’s just that there is no connection between Bianliang City and Wangfujing.
Even the official commentators Lu Qi and Xiao Fei did not dare to easily say this inference.
After all, once this sentence is said, it means that the official is leading the pace personally, and they cannot bear this responsibility.
"No... didn't they just say that it was Bianliang City that was giving Wangfujing some water? How come it's Bianliang City that's training its lineup now?"
"We can't rule out this possibility! I admit that Wangfujing is strong, but don't forget that Bianliang City is on another level! In my opinion, even if it's a substitute lineup, Wangfujing won't be in a good situation if they get serious, so the reason of letting them win doesn't hold water in my opinion."
"It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but the reason why the commentator only mentioned training the lineup and not letting the opponent win is probably because he is afraid that public opinion will be unfavorable to Bianliang City after he speaks out..."
"Public opinion? Can it be more unfavorable than the previous cyberbullying of Cheng Ge?"
"Damn it! That happened so long ago, why are you still bringing it up?"
"Why, you guys are just bullying me online for no reason, and you don't want to settle the score later?"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, just watch the game carefully, everyone!..."
Listening to the two commentators on the stage interacting with each other in nonsense that seemed to be said and not said.
The audience was also amused. Seeing that the competition was not getting intense yet, they just started to make jokes one after another.
As the competition officially begins.
The debate over whether Bianliang City was giving Wangfujing some leeway or training its lineup is no longer as intense as it was at the beginning.
After all, whether it is letting the game go or practicing the lineup, it cannot change the fact that the game has already begun.
But the facts cannot be changed.
However, most of the audience's attention was focused on the main screen.
