Chapter 1127: A Respectable Opponent
As soon as Ino said it, all the people who heard it instantly turned their eyes to Xiao Yuan's back to see who Taylor was, only Xiao Yuan was indifferent and continued to look at the big screen on the stage. Taylor's seat was a row higher than the seat of Team Zero, and he naturally sensed that there was a concentration of eyes below, so he also looked back at everyone curiously, his blue-green pupils full of clear and innocent expressions.
Taylor's gaze shocked Ino's soul, and he quickly pulled on both sides of the hood, so anxious that his whole body shrunk in his seat.
"I told you not to look at it! If you look at him again, he'll find me!! ”
"Heh, what are you afraid of, as long as you speak Chinese, he can't find out, don't worry." Liu Jiangqing comforted Eno, but there was a little banter in her tone.
"Oh? Hmmm......"
Eno then remembered that he had been speaking Chinese, and he was too nervous just now to forget that Taylor did not understand Chinese, and his mood instantly relaxed most of the time, but the hand holding the hood did not let go.
"If you know each other, why are you afraid that he will recognize you? Do you owe him money? Seeing this, Lu Yunqian's gossip spontaneously rose, and she lowered her voice and asked Eno excitedly.
"Because he's been abused by Taylor, and it's miserable. There was no win against a team with Taylor in the CS match, and the two of them have played countless times in private, and Ino has a win rate of 0. Before Ino could speak, Xiao Yuan answered the question, and his eyes were still looking in the direction of the stage.
Eno had two-thirds of his entire face covered by the hood, and he could only see the corners of his mouth twitching downward, showing a hint of unwillingness: "I admit that I can't win against him in CS, it's not a big deal." But if he comes to fight me, I'll beat him up until I have nightmares when I hear the name Inostrand! ”
"That's right! Plus my big brother is covering you, let's join forces to beat him back to his hometown! Lan Hao shouted loudly and angrily, and hooked Ino's neck with another flick of his arms, which was his classic gesture to show brotherhood to Ino. However, when Lan Hao put down his arm, Ino's hood was pressed from behind, and the brim of the front hat slipped down, revealing Ino's dark yellow hair.
Ino's expression froze as he noticed a burning gaze coming from behind him.
“woo!”
A short, emotional exclamation rang out from behind the crowd, and you didn't have to look to know who had made it. Someone in the seat of Team Zero-One laughed, admiring the embarrassment of Eno in front of him meaningfully, as if he felt that what would happen next would be better than on the stage.
Ino is not such a shy person, since the one he doesn't want to see has already been seen, it's still okay to say hello. He turned his head to look at Taylor with a stiff expression, and forced the corners of his mouth back to show a reluctant friendly smile: "Hi, Taylor! ”
Taylor burst out laughing, shaking uncontrollably from laughter, and even the Korean player Park Ji-nam next to him looked at Eno curiously, guessing that they might know each other, so he waved his hand in a friendly way.
Taylor smiled and quickly flipped through the team manual in his hand, and when he reached a certain page, he stopped, and held up the book to show the contents of the page to the Zero One team. Lu Yunqian was surprised to find that the page was printed with a pure English version of the introduction of the 01 team, from coach Xiao Yuan to Eno and Lan Hao, these players have detailed graphic profiles, and the photos and results of the players are all on the official website of the NFL, and the page shown by Taylor has Eno's yellow-haired ID photo.
If everyone in the venue had this booklet, it would have meant that they knew who was sitting here from the very beginning. However, if the members of Team Zero One and Bright Moon Pavilion paid little attention to international events, they would have been completely ignorant of their identities and completely kept in the dark.
Ino's fair face flushed instantly, and he felt like he had been fooled by someone.
Cowering in his seat for a long time, nervous and afraid to speak out loud for fear of being recognized, a team manual had already revealed all the information about him to Taylor. At that time, although Taylor could not understand Chinese, he must have been enjoying Eno to cover his ears and steal the bell, and he may have guessed the meaning of some dialogue. All in all, it all seemed like Ino was stupid.
The sudden embarrassing development caught everyone off guard, and no one thought that this group of foreign visitors would have a team manual in their hands, and as long as they held this manual, all the players participating in the semi-finals could match the number.
Although the information of the contestants is not a secret, and it is understandable that it is printed in English as a handbook for foreign visitors, everyone is very unhappy with this one-sided "process of understanding", and even feels a little offended. When Taylor's manual was revealed, everyone's expressions froze, and the two parties fell into an embarrassing state of no one for a while.
Although Lu Yunqian is good at English, she doesn't dare to talk directly to foreigners other than Ino, and she doesn't know how to help Ino's embarrassment. She looked at Xiao Yuan for help, and the coach still had a calm expression that was as unmoving, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuan raised his hand and pointed to the stage, and as soon as Lu Yunqian's eyes turned, he heard a sea of cheers from the seats in all directions. Xiang Fei and Zhao Xuan have already appeared on the gorgeous stage, and the four heavyweight commentators have all appeared on the commentary seat, waiting for the game to start.
After successfully winning the repechage, Zhao Xuan, who walked on the semi-final stage, was obviously more calm than before, and a little less buoyant. He knows that the upcoming game is just another difficulty for a thousand souls to escape, if he wins, he can still play one more time in this arena, if he loses, his Zhao Xuan's professional career will come to an end, and when people mention Zhao Xuan in the future, they will only remember the wild boy four years ago. In the future, he may be worthless.
Zhao Xuan looked at Xiang Fei in front of him in a team uniform, and then stretched out his hand and said politely, "Come on." ”
Xiang Fei was slightly stunned, a little surprised by Zhao Xuan's behavior. Because this guy must be a bunch of riots at the beginning of the game, provoking a war to make the audience boil, and at the same time suppressing the opponent verbally. But when he saw Zhao Xuan's eyes surging with emotion, he understood that this is the highest respect that a professional player has for another professional player, and it is also Zhao Xuan's deepest piety and respect for this game.
Suddenly, Xiang Fei found that Zhao Xuan at this time was very similar to himself when he played the last championship game, and even the little imperceptible sadness was the same. He couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand and gently held Zhao Xuan's hand, as if saying to himself back then: "Come on, as long as you are still on the field for a moment, you belong to this field." ”
The two people who were about to eliminate each other in the semifinals were so peaceful and friendly before the game, Zhao Xuan, who was full of commotion, only had the words "come on", and Xiang Fei, who was known as the big demon king, changed his normal way to encourage his opponent, and did not show the slightest determination to win. The smell of war on the stage was completely diluted by this harmonious atmosphere, and the media reporters looked at each other, not knowing how to describe such a peaceful and tasteless pre-war dialogue.
However, the 360-degree circular auditorium in the stadium erupted in thunderous and monstrous cheers, even more enthusiastic and excited than hearing the most provocative words, shouting "Come on!" to the two teams at the same time, regardless of camp. It was as if the roof of the stadium was going to be shattered.
Because they know Zhao Xuan and Xiang Fei.
On the NFL stage, no savage, offensive pregame provocation will impress fans more than a player who respects his opponent. No matter what their fate will be after the game, as Xiang Fei said, as long as they are still on the field at this moment, they are the players who belong to the game, and they are professional players who deserve to be respected by everyone.
