Chapter 305: Drawing lots
Different from previous years, this year's "Empty Foot Competition" has taken the form of "four-nation melee" from the first round.
The eight participating teams will be divided into two groups, A and B, according to the draw, and each will "fight".
The two teams with the most goals in each group advance to the final and compete for the final "overall title".
The two teams with fewer goals are considered eliminated and lose the chance to advance to the final.
Chen Yuan looked at the "rule introduction" scrolling on the holographic screen, and asked Fei Yunzhou beside him: "If there is a situation where the number of goals is the same, what should I do?"
"What else can I do, add the match," Fei Yunzhou said, "In previous years, the first round of the 'promotion match' adopted the mode of 'two-by-two battle', and this year it will be innovative, and there will be two 'four-nation melees' in the first round, and if there is a tie, the two teams with the superior data on the field will be selected for a round of play-offs, and the team that will finally advance to the finals will be selected." ”
"That's it," Chen Yuan nodded slightly, "That's fair." ”
Through this period of training, he has been able to roughly understand some of the terms used in the game of "air football".
The so-called "on-field data" refers to a series of data such as the number of red and yellow cards, shots, tackles, and passes obtained by the team in the game, which directly reflects the actual performance of the team in this game.
It is indeed the fairest way to select the "play-off team" based on "on-field data" and then select one of the two teams with the best performance to advance to the finals.
Everyone in the audience waited for a while, and Minister Yuan gave an order, and the lottery ceremony officially began.
But the holographic screen flashed, and a one-meter-square box appeared in the center.
Minister Yuan tapped a red button on the side of the "light brain".
In the middle of the box, the four big characters of "Guwudi Class" are prominently displayed.
Linjiang University advocates "ancient martial arts", and although the "ground class" is slightly inferior to the "heavenly class", its comprehensive strength is far better than the "opponent of the same level" Xinwu Class A, and it is the "third giant" in addition to the "Guwu Tianban" and "Xinwu S class".
The head coach of the "Guwudi class" is a curly-haired man in his thirties.
Seeing the name of his team displayed on the holographic screen, he straightened his suit, waved his hand to the players behind him, walked up to the rostrum, and pressed the blue button on the other side of the "light brain" under the guidance of the staff.
After a while, the previous "group battle map" reappeared.
The four words "Guwudi class" automatically correspond to the back of the "B2" sequence.
As a result of the first draw, everything is still unknown.
After the curly-haired man finished drawing lots, he bowed to Minister Yuan, turned around and walked off the rostrum.
The next to participate in the draw is the head coach of the "Xinwu B class".
He shook his fat body of more than 200 pounds and walked onto the rostrum panting.
Without waiting for the staff to introduce him, he hurriedly pressed the blue button.
The screen flashed, and the "Xinwu Class B" was assigned to the B3 sequence.
The fat coach's face stiffened, smiled bitterly, and turned around to step down.
At the same time, the corners of the curly-haired man's mouth just now were faintly hooked, obviously with some schadenfreude.
Chen Yuanjian saw that two teams had already been divided into Group B, and asked curiously:
"Is the 'Guwu Class' very strong, why is the head coach of the 'Xinwu Class B' so bitter?"
Fei Yunzhou glanced at him and said slowly: "Judging from the results of the previous 'Empty Football Competition', the strength of the four teams of the 'Ancient Martial Arts Academy' is significantly stronger than that of the new martial arts teams of the same level
The strength of the martial arts class can completely beat the 'Xinwu Class A', and the coach of the 'Xinwu Class B' is drawn with them, and their faces will naturally not be too good-looking. ”
Speaking of this, his face sank, and he said: "This year's situation is very different from previous years, the 'new martial arts class' has undergone this ** blood change, and its strength has been unprecedentedly enhanced, as long as it plays normally, the champion basically does not run." ”
"Doesn't the 'Ancient Martial Heavenly Class' even have the strength to fight?" Chen Yuan asked with a frown.
"Didn't you listen to what Ximen Lie said," Fei Yunzhou said, "If Meng Xiaodao, Situ Yiwei, and Wang Fengyang are in school, the 'Guwu Tianban' can still overpower the other party, but this 'Tianban team' is newly formed, and the strongest 'Yue Zhen' in the team is only an 'E-level entry', and compared with Dongfang Yu and Nie Zhan, there is no chance of winning at all." ”
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, indicating understanding.
The differences between "air football" and "traditional football" are mainly reflected in three aspects.
The first is the difference in the court, the ball used in the game, and the equipment.
The second is the difference in competition methods, rules, and technical and tactical levels.
The third is that all the participating team members are "warriors".
The third point is undoubtedly the most obvious and important difference.
The participating team members have changed from ordinary athletes to "martial artists", which means that the personal strength of the players is closely related to their own "cultivation realm".
The "Soccer in the Air" game is played in a "four-nation melee" mode, during which there is a lot of physical confrontation.
If the "cultivation realm" is not enough, you will soon lose in the fierce confrontation, thus losing the ball and losing the initiative of the game step by step.
Therefore, when each team selects players, it will include "cultivation as a realm" as a "hard indicator".
In the international formal "empty foot competition", the "lower limit" and "upper limit" of the player's cultivation will be strictly limited to prevent the disparity in strength between the two sides, resulting in the premature loss of suspense of the game, and ensuring the watchability and fairness of the game.
Linjiang University's "Empty Foot Competition" is an intramural competition, so the restrictions on "cultivation" are relatively relaxed.
In addition, the initiator of the "reorganization of the S class" is a "major shareholder" in the school, and with a little operation, Dongfang Yu and Nie Zhan, the two "super-level" players, naturally "naturally" entered the newly formed "New Martial Arts S Class" team.
For this act of undermining the fairness of the game, the coaches of several other teams can only swallow their anger.
But in a strict sense, the strength of Dongfang Yu and Nie Zhan has far exceeded the "average level" of all the players of the Linda teams, and they are theoretically not allowed to participate in such competitions.
The two chatted for a while, and the draw on the field was also proceeding in an orderly manner.
One coach after another walked onto the rostrum and drew their own battle numbers.
Soon, the battle situation of this "empty foot competition" gradually became clear.
Group A currently has two teams: "Xinwu Class A" and "Xinwu Class C".
Group B has three teams, namely "Guwudi Class", "Guwu Yellow Class" and "Xinwu B Class".
So far, there are no people on the field who have participated in the lottery, only the "Xinwu S Class", "Guwu Tianban" and Chen Yuan's "Guwu Xuan Class" remain.
On the rostrum, Director Yuan stood straight and continued to press the button on the "light brain".
The next moment, the four big characters of "Guwu Xuanban" were clearly displayed on the wide holographic screen.
Fang Huanting walked out of the queue, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and walked slowly towards the rostrum.
She walked very slowly, very slowly, as if every step she took, the pressure in her heart was carried
The force is a little heavier.
came to the rostrum, trimmed for a while, and then walked up to the stage with the hem of the skirt.
Fang Huanting walked to the stage and nodded to Minister Yuan and several staff members, squeezing out a stiff smile on her face.
Then, with the same stiff footsteps, he moved to the "light brain", hesitated for a moment, and pressed the button.
At this moment, not only the twenty members of the Xuanban team, but even the coaches and players of the two "traditional strong teams" of the "Guwu Tianban" and "Xinwu S Class" all looked at the holographic screen, with different expressions on their faces.
After a while, the holographic screen flickered.
The four big characters of "Guwu Xuanban" appeared behind the A1 sequence.
Fang Huanting's face suddenly darkened, and one hand tightly grasped the side of her skirt.
At the same time, the fat coach of the "Xinwu Class B" in the audience also became nervous again.
"Gu Wu Xuanban" was classified into Group A, which means that there will be two situations next.
Either the "Guwu Tianban" enters Group A, and the "Xinwu S Class" enters Group B, both groups are two-on-two situations, and at first glance, the scene is quite balanced.
If the "Xinwu S class" enters Group A and the "Guwu Tianban" enters Group B, there will be two groups of three against one, which is undoubtedly a "catastrophe" for the lone "Guwu Xuanban" and "Xinwu Class B".
"The worse the mood, the worse the luck, this truth is true,"
Seeing Fang Huanting draw the "next sign", Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile helplessly.
In his opinion, the best situation is to be divided into Group B, fight side by side with the "Guwu Di Class" and the "Guwu Yellow Class", solve the "Xinwu Class B", and then squeeze out the "Guwu Yellow Class" to strive for a qualification to enter the finals.
As for Group A, let Ji Luming and Vincent "fight the dragon", if the "Guwu Tianban" can upset the "Xinwu S class", it will naturally be better, if it can't be killed, with the current strength of the "Guwu Tianban", it can also greatly consume the opponent and create a chance for the remaining two teams of the "Guwu Academy" to win the championship.
Unexpectedly, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, Fang Huanting drew her hand casually, and actually drew the "next sign".
What the "Xuanban Team" can do at present is to pray secretly, hoping that they will not meet the "Xinwu S Class" in the first round and end up with a "one-round tour".
Before you know it, the "lottery ceremony" is coming to an end.
Seeing that there were only two teams left on the field that had not yet drawn lots, Minister Yuan simply did not press the button, directly sent the staff to step down, and invited the coaches of the two "traditional strong teams" to come to the stage to draw lots.
"Handsome" Vincent walked in front with his head held high, with a pair of blue eyes and eyes in all directions, looking like "Lao Tzu is the best in the world".
In contrast, Ji Luming was much more low-key, limping behind Vincent, and his humility was overflowing.
Chen Yuan watched it from the audience, and couldn't help but laugh secretly: "This old fox is really good at calculating, and he has not even drawn lots to start 'showing weakness to the enemy', Vincent has just arrived, if there is no one behind him to 'guide', maybe it will really be planted in the hands of the other party." ”
While thinking about it, the two of them had come to the rostrum.
Minister Yuan personally greeted him and shook hands with the two "famous marshals".
Invite the two to the "light brain" and briefly introduce the lottery process.
Ji Luming didn't wait for Vincent to speak, smiled faintly, and made a "please" gesture.
The latter was not humble either, glanced at the other party, stepped forward, and pressed the blue button next to the "light brain".
Suddenly, the holographic screen trembled, and the grouping results of the "New Martial Arts Class" were immediately displayed on the side of the screen.
Chen Yuan raised his eyes and suddenly smiled, "This foreign devil has a poisonous hand, right?"
