Chapter 40: First pick in the draft
Day 4 of the competition.
For the 80 rookies in this youth training tournament, each team already has a certain understanding. In addition to the newcomers to the team who are already very famous in the circle, there are several amateur players in this issue who are eye-catching.
For the Sword Pavilion team, this really made them experience what it means to be happy.
As the team that finished last season at the bottom of the league, the draft is one of the few moments that can put a smile on their faces. With the No. 1 draft pick in hand, any of the 80 academy rookies can be easily included in their ranks. Originally, they had already thought that the goal was to be a newcomer to the team for a while. In terms of strength, he is the best among the newcomers in this issue; Speaking of position, the Sword Pavilion team, which has a bad record and is ranked last, is almost not very satisfied with the five main players on their field, and they have plans to completely rebuild, so they can come, and players in any position can come.
But Lin Jiacan, the head coach of the Sword Pavilion who came to the youth training tournament with this mission, was a little dazzled after watching the three-day game.
Sui Qingfeng is as good as everyone is talking about, but in addition to Sui Qingfeng, he didn't expect that there are many players in this draft who are as bright as him.
The captain of Team 1 smiled, he was born as an ordinary player, but he showed extremely high talent, and I heard that he had only been in contact with the glory of kings for more than nine months, which made people feel that his future prospects would be limitless.
The captain of Team 5, Twilight, is a newcomer to the team midway through the last season. The identity of female gamers is a minority in the professional circle, and the age of over 20 cannot be described as "young" in this professional group. She is the same as Sui Qingfeng, and the points in the online competition part are not as good as those of Sui Qingfeng. However, Lin Jiacan's on-court performance observed with his own eyes, but he felt that Twilight's maturity was quite high. Although he is also a newcomer, he does not have the youth of many newcomers, and he looks like Xu Zhoutong of Team 4, as if he is an experienced professional player.
This kind of player like Xu Zhoutong can be picked from the draft and has always been a business that only makes money and does not lose money. They are capable of fighting, unlike most newcomers who have a process of adaptation and growth. Rookies who shine in the youth academy but are unrelated when they enter the professional world and fail to meet the expected level abound every year. The Sword Pavilion team held the first pick in the draft, and they were also afraid of losing their eyes, so they chose a parallel import, wasting this precious champion lottery.
If it weren't for the fact that Xu Zhoutong was not easy to get along with and was not suitable to be the core of the team, it was very likely that this champion Sword Pavilion team would give priority to such a mature professional player. As a result, Xu Zhoutong was excluded because of his personality, and another one came out who said he was a newcomer, but he looked very mature as a fighter, which made Lin Jiacan very entangled.
And after watching the 5 teams and seeing the 6 teams, the entanglement continued to upgrade.
As the saying goes, thousands of troops are easy to get, and one will be hard to find, these 6 teams actually hide a commanding talent who can maximize the strength of the team, not to mention the youth training game, that is, in the KPL, there are only a handful of players who shine with this ability.
Also annoyed is the jungler from Team 6, who also looks very good. With both technology and maturity, it seems that it is not too much to sign him.
To sum up, they are the first candidates in Lin Jiacan's mind after watching the three-day competition. And he also noticed that because of the emergence of too many unexpected outstanding newcomers, this time it has become different compared to the winter draft, which is always a little deserted in the summer draft.
Just looking at the frequency with which the draft leaders of the major teams have begun to have nothing to say to themselves in the past two days, Lin Jiacan knows that everyone has a very urgent candidate in their hearts, and they begin to covet this precious first pick in his hand.
Draft picks are likewise tradeable. There are even times when a weak team can make the most of a trade in a high draft pick that will bolster the team to the greatest extent. After all, the draft pick is only to select a rookie, and there is a risk of selecting parallel goods, using the trade, but directly from other teams to get one or even two strong players who have been tested in the professional circle. For a weak team like them who are desperate to change their performance, such a professional player who can fight is obviously more reliable than a rookie who needs to be cultivated and expected to grow.
After Lin Jiacan reported the situation of this youth training tournament to the team that he observed, he immediately gained the support of the team. He immediately began to think not only about these rookies, but also the players in those teams who began to show favor to him these days also entered Lin Jiacan's consideration. Thinking of the possible operation space, Lin Jiacan couldn't help but get excited, and in this afternoon's game, his mind was already a little out of these youth players.
His obviously relaxed appearance soon fell into the eyes of many caring people. Especially when he saw Li Wenshan, the captain of the team for a while, approaching Lin Jiacan and chatting with him, many people pricked up their ears and ran away from the game in front of them.
However, the whispers of those two, no matter how hard they tried, they didn't hear a word. After the exchange between the two, they did not see any clues from the expressions of the two. Until the two of them walked away and went to look for the game separately, Li Wenshan's left and right were immediately squeezed up by Zhou Jin and Xu Hexiang left and right, and they looked like they were going to hold him hostage.
"It's you again." Li Wenshan was also helpless. They are the bottom-to-bottom trio of the draft, and there are really a lot of piles these days. At first, it was purely subconscious, and as the representative of the team with the least sense of existence in the draft, they naturally united together. But after watching this issue of the contestants with their own eyes, the three of them are a little uneasy.
Take Li Wenshan as an example, Sui Qingfeng was a rookie they cultivated for a while, and the rookie with the highest demand for champions in this issue, but their team has already made up their minds not to make efforts and give up directly, but they have no appeal for this draft for a while. But that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
"Is there already a trade on the Sword Pavilion side?" Xu Hexiang asked Li Wenshan.
"Did you recognize the wrong person? Under is the Time Clan. Li Wenshan said.
"Less nonsense." Xu Hexiang said, "We just don't want to get together, otherwise that guy doesn't know what conditions to offer, isn't it Team Zhou?" ”
Zhou Jin didn't speak, nodded in agreement.
Li Wenshan sighed: "It's already the lion's mouth." ”
"Oh? Who does he want on your team? Xu Hexiang asked.
"I didn't say it." Li Wenshan said.
"Didn't say that?"
"Well, he asked us to make conditions." Li Wenshan said.
"It's so angry, what kind of rule is this, the better the grades, the more human rights are lost!" Xu Hexiang was indignant at Lin Jiacan's unhurriedness, and began to attack the rules of the alliance.
"Why don't you have a bad swing in the spring game, grab the last one, and you will also go crazy in the summer election?" Li Wenshan said.
"It's a bit difficult!" Xu Hexiang looked very embarrassed.
Zhou Jin was silent, but after listening to Li Wenshan's attitude on Lin Jiacan's side, he turned his head to look for Lin Jiacan. found that the person really looked like a strange commodity to live in, waiting for the price to be sold, wandering around. At this moment, the Sword Pavilion team, which was in the bottom of the autumn competition, seemed to be the real king. It's a bit irritating to feel.
However, the vast majority of people who paid serious attention to the youth training match were still the vast majority after all, and with the wonderful performance in the game, a burst of exclamations sounded, and many people went to find it.
Lin Jiacan doesn't care much about the game anymore. But I also look forward to the youth players playing more excitingly. The more this is the case, the more precious the draft picks they hold in the Sword Pavilion become. Thinking about Li Wenshan's very friendly tone when he took the initiative to talk to him before, Lin Jiacan felt very comfortable.
That was the captain of the championship team for a while, and there weren't many scenes of low-profile communication with him like this!
This pick has to be put to good use. Lin Jiacan looked at the other two captains who sandwiched Li Wenshan between one left and one right, and his expression was meaningful. He didn't pay much attention to the game, but he watched carefully what everyone on each team in the room was watching.
