Chapter 328: The Legend of Heroes (Finale)

August 12, 2012, 17:00 p.m. Beijing time.

At the Beijing Olympic Sports Center, the 30th Summer Olympic Games are in the final stages.

Yes, you read that right, the 30th Olympic Games are still being held in Beijing.

The Games were supposed to be held in London, England, but due to the ongoing impact of the 2009 financial crisis, the British economy was depressed and heavily indebted, and the British government submitted an application to the International Olympic Committee to relinquish the hosting rights, and after the 126th meeting of the Olympic Committee, it was decided that the 30th Summer Olympic Games would continue to be hosted by Beijing.

The scale of this Olympic Games is even larger than that of the Beijing 08 Olympics, with athletes from 220 countries and regions gathered in China.

Unlike in the past, esports has been added to the Olympics, and esports has entered the mainstream of sports as a future sport, including Counter-Strike and StarCraft, which have produced a total of two gold medals.

Green is currently at the "Shenzhou Center" hall in the Olympic Sports Center, which is a competition venue set up by the Chinese government specifically for esports.

The venue is similar to a football field, the center is the competition table, behind the competition table is the work area, the player area, the reporter area, the referee's seat, the spectator seat, the area provided by Changhong Electronics is hung in the air with an area of 3000 square meters of super giant electronic screen, the entire field is unobstructed, can accommodate 120,000 spectators, comparable to the scale of the track and field venue.

Green looked at the crowded auditorium and let out a long sigh.

Today is his 56th birthday, and he is already an old man, an old man in the truest sense of the word.

His hair has turned gray, the wrinkles on his face are obvious, and he is old when he walks.

People are old, the years are getting old, and too many good memories are also worn out with the passage of time, but there is only one thing that has not grown old, that is, the heart, the ambition and ambition of youth.

The heart that wants to fly will never die and never grow old!

He spent his life trying to advance the sport of esports, and he dedicated his life to CS.

Since Lu Fei retired in '06, Green has been engaged in the work of developing potential players in the United States, and he has taught what he knows, understands, integrates and unreservedly to the golden generation one after another.

Although today's superstars no longer have the century-defining influence of the previous kings, in the past six years, the United States has slowly developed and finally become a CS superpower that can rival China.

The dispute between China and the United States has not stopped since the 2009 CG Chengdu World Finals.

Perhaps, a woman's youth in the prime of life is between 18 and 23 years old, the golden age of a CS player is between 19-25, and the career of a coach is between 26-32, then the lifetime of a talent scout or even a figure similar to a "veteran", his glory must end before the age of 60 at most.

For the elder Green, he knows that this is his last chance to play at the Olympics, and this is the first time that CS has entered the Olympics, and he hopes that he will fulfill all his dreams as the head coach of the U.S. national team and leave the game with honors in his old age.

However, the pressure of today's game is unprecedented, and it can be said that it is a unique one, whether it has been before, in the past or even in the future.

After 20 days of competition in the Olympic Games, the two major sports powers China and the United States are neck and neck, and on the gold medal list, the two superpowers won 51 gold medals respectively, tied for the first place, completely indistinguishable, and the third and fourth places behind, what Russia, Britain, and Australia were left far behind.

The Chinese delegation's traditional strengths are gymnastics, table tennis, diving, and CS.

And the U.S. delegation's historical strengths are track and field, swimming, basketball, and - CS.

The final at 4 p.m. will see the final gold medal of the Games, the Counter-Strike CS Men's Team Finals.

The teams that entered the final championship and runner-up battle were the Chinese national team and the United States national team, the significance of this gold medal is self-evident, who can win this gold medal, not only the pioneering century in history, but also to determine the first place in the gold medal list of the 30th Olympic Games.

And the pressure of the significance of this game can also be imagined.

Even the president of the United States and the leaders of China are seated in the guest seat at this moment.

When Green entered the stadium, he received a collective standing ovation from more than 30,000 American spectators, and when the Chinese team entered the stadium, it also received thunderous cheers from more than 100,000 spectators at home.

Because the head coach of the other party is also a figure who has witnessed history - Li Hao, a coach who has played in many giant clubs.

And the Chinese national team is not just a coach, it is a group, the nominal commander-in-chief is Li Hao, in fact, it is mainly composed of five people, they are Li Hao, Duan Jiu, Chu Jian, Yuan Qing and Yu Xiao.

In the history of Chinese CS, there are probably very few people who don't know these five people, they are dominant, and have staged countless moving legends, especially Chu Jian, who was the partner of the king Lu Fei and the most powerful opponent, although today he is no longer a player, but as a coach, he is undoubtedly the top.

The Chinese team is strong, and the United States is not weak, the coaching staff is led by Old Green, and there are Chris, Kyle (3DMiller), Ray, Lordanlen, Jim's auxiliary coaching lineup, it is worth mentioning that Miller and Yu Xiao are still husband and wife playing against each other.

It is enough to see that the two sides are evenly matched in this game, but there is only one first place in the gold medal list, and this game is related to the national honor of the two superpowers of nearly two billion people.

The difference between 51 gold medals and 52 gold medals may not be large, but the status gap between the first gold medal list and the second gold medal list, presumably all Chinese and Americans should be aware of the stakes.

The battle of kings, who will fight?

Peak showdown, who is the master of ups and downs?

"Rest assured, the United States will always be the No.1 in the world, not just CS!" Green was confident.

"Of course!" Chris replied confidently, he has been a coach for ten years, and he is very familiar with any player in the world, he knows very well that the Chinese team has a very small chance of winning today's game, and in his heart, unless Lu Fei is the head coach, no one else is his opponent.

The reason is very simple, China's first generation of century-building superstars is none other than Lu Fei, the second generation of superstars after Lu Fei is Duan Jiu and Chu Jian, the third generation after Han Bing and Ah K, and the fourth generation is Bai Xiaofei and Bai Fangfang...... Although there are many talents in China's CS, but in 2012, it has been passed down to the sixth generation, and this superstar is a national-level team composed of people from the three clubs of Meiya, Longteng and Keyuan Electronics.

But technically, there is no difference in the strength of the Chinese national team and the American national team, but the age gap is very large, because the superstars on the Chinese team are too young, and being too young means not having enough experience.

So Old Green and Chris are very confident about the number one spot in the gold medal table.

The race started with all eyes on it.

History may never find such a magnificent scene in the game, countless spectators and the stars and stripes and five-star red flags are connected, countless shouts, shouts, drums, and military bugles are intertwined, forming a picture that people will never forget, and countless cheerleaders are singing, dancing, and cheering, and people in both countries are looking forward to the production of the highest honor.

The voice of more than 100,000 spectators of the host Chinese team is not covered, it is simply a kind of momentum that the mountain rain is about to come, and the situation on the field was once crazy stalemate, not only did the score bite to the death, but even the number of Farg followed very closely.

CS has evolved to this day, with more, more balanced, and more ornamental Desert Seven and Drawbridge Five, as well as more dexterous strategies and tactics.

In the first two maps, the two sides were tied.

Desert Seven Chinese team won, the score is 16:15; The Suspension Bridge Five American team caught up and also won with a thrilling 16:15, and the game lasted for more than three hours, and the two sides were stunned.

But at the time of the decisive map game, the voices of the Chinese audience gradually weakened, because the Chinese team showed physical overdraft factors at this time, after all, they were only sixteen or seventeen-year-old children, and their energy could not be concentrated for a long time.

When the skills, strength, tactics, and luck of both sides are comparable, the only thing that can be matched is spirit and belief, which is well known to the coaching staff of both sides.

But Li Hao can't do anything in a hurry, and it is impossible to expect the young players to have the momentum of "fighting to the end" when they were in the golden generation at this time.

In the first half of the third map "Railway Station", the score of the Chinese team that first made CT was 7:8, this score does not seem to be very different, in fact, the impact on the final result of the Chinese team is fatal, the first half let the Americans who were bandits take 7 points, so evenly matched, in the second half the Chinese as bandits, the probability of getting 7 points is almost equal to zero.

At halftime, Lee asked for a 20-minute timeout.

Green smiled: "Don't say that the Chinese team can score 7 points in the second half, if they can score 5 points, I will count them as winning." ”

This is an exaggeration, but it is true.

In the Chinese team's player area, Li Hao, Chu Jian, Duan Jiu, and Yu Xiao were all nervous, more nervous than they were when they participated in the World Finals, because the pressure they were carrying now was too great.

And now most of the Chinese audience is depressed, and many people have begun to fall silent.

"What should I do?" Yu Xiao asked.

Li Hao held his glasses and smiled bitterly: "All the tricks that should be used have been used, is it really providence?" ”

On the U.S. side, Green and Chris both looked relaxed.

"Prepare the champagne for celebration, if nothing else, the United States should be NO.1." Old Green laughed.

Chris also smiled: "No accidents? Could it be that when it comes to this part, do they still have that accident that may turn the tables? ”

"There are no absolutes in the world." Old Green sighed, "Of course, there are accidents, but the possibility of them is too small." ”

"What kind of accident would that be?" Chris couldn't help but ask.

"Unless......" Old Green said again.

Looking at his embarrassed expression, Chris couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mr. Green, I remembered someone. ”

Old Green smiled: "I also remembered someone. ”

Chris's heart moved, and he said, "Could it be that we were thinking of the same person just now?" ”

Old Green said with a smile: "It should be, among the Chinese, only he can create incredible miracles, especially in a war situation like the current one, I firmly believe that no Chinese can reverse it except him, because he is the truly invincible god." ”

Chris sighed: "I haven't seen him for a few more years, sometimes I miss him very much, I don't know where he is now, how is he doing, guess what, is he following this game now?" ”

"I bet he's 100 percent watching this game, but not here, he should be watching a TV broadcast somewhere, maybe drinking beer and taking his wife with him, watching leisurely." ”

The two reminisced about the past, and Jim walked over: "Are you talking about Lu?" ”

Chris laughed, "Who else but him?" ”

Jim said: "Don't worry, he can't be here, even if he is, now that the overall situation is decided, what can he do?" What does it do? There's no way he's going to play, is he? ”

Green said: "Jim, I don't agree with your opinion, even if he is here, he will have a way to deal with the desperate situation of the Chinese team in front of him even if he doesn't play." ”

Jim was dissatisfied: "Mr. Green, you have always been very protective of him, after all these years, you are still the same." ”

Green smiled: "I believe that Lu Ye is still the same, and some people will not change in this life." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the audience of the entire Shenzhou Hall suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer, and the huge sound almost overturned the roof.

"What's going on?" Old Green asked.

"Look over there!" Ryman shouted.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Old Green's faces changed.

I saw a lonely figure appear at the entrance of the VIP player's passage, although he was lonely, but he took the attention of everyone in the audience.

Lu Fei!

It's Lu Fei!

At that moment, the audience and even the whole world cheered for him, and many Chinese viewers shed tears of excitement on the spot.

“Chinese！ Chinese! Chinese! Many people stood up and shouted loudly, this almost forgotten slogan was shouted, and many people understood that it was a mantra of victory.

Lu Fei's face is familiar to audiences all over the world, he is still the same as before, with a relaxed expression and pace towards the Chinese team's player area, and the difference is that he is no longer the high-spirited Chinese god of war back then, but the passage of time does not make people feel old, but makes him more calm and mature charm.

"Phineas!" Duan Jiu's eyes turned red.

"Lu Fei!" Chu Jian and Li Hao walked up quickly.

Yu Xiao looked at him, and his eyes also flashed with a sparkling light.

The staff of all the contestants' area spontaneously stood up to make way for Lu Fei.

Lu Fei smiled and waved his hand, "Now is not the time to say these words, I have a suggestion." ”

Everyone immediately gathered around.

On the side of the American player area, Chris was the first to panic: "Damn, what is Lu telling them?" ”

Old Green said depressedly: "Restrain our magic weapon." ”

Jim couldn't help but say, "Here we go again, I don't believe it." ”

Of course he didn't believe it, let alone that he didn't believe it, even after he called Lu Fei to confirm it after this game, he still didn't believe it.

"What's the idea, Brother Fei tell me quickly." Duan Jiu couldn't wait to ask.

Lu Fei smiled: "Actually, I don't have any ideas. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Lu Fei smiled: "But don't worry, just play according to the tactics, Mr. Green, they saw me coming, thinking that I would teach you some new tricks, and they would change the tactics in the second half, so that they would be hit instead, I remember I told you before that the highest tactic in CS is psychological tactics, yes, so to speak, they will be deceived by us." ”

Duan Jiu smiled "hehe", and then Chu Jian, Yu Xiao and the others also laughed.

Lao Green and the others found that there was laughter and laughter in the Chinese team's player area, and their hearts were even more uncontrollable.

Looking up again, Lu Fei had already stood up and raised his left hand to himself.

This is his signature move - thumbs up, this moment is a sensation in the audience, people are screaming, knowing that Lu Fei has the certainty of victory.

Jenny walked over and couldn't help asking, "What did he mean this time?" ”

Old Green was expressionless: "He said to wish me a happy 56th birthday, and by the way, he gave me a birthday gift." ”

Jenny was so angry that she almost vomited blood: "This gift is really interesting." ”

"Of course that's interesting, I can fully imagine what Jenny's face was when she asked Mr. Greene?" These are the words of Huo Xixian on the plane, which has taken off from Beijing Capital Airport and landed in Milan, Italy.

Lu Fei smiled: "You know again? ”

Huo Xixian said with a smile: "For so many years, I can't know her temper very well, and she always wants to fight for the first." ”

Erin on the side was puzzled: "Sister Huo, you have been in Meiya all the time, how do you know clearly?" ”

Alice rushed over: "Sister Erin, don't you know, Sister Alva used to be college classmates with Miss Jenny, and they have been competing since graduation!" ”

Huo Xixian raised his head, looked at the beautiful sunset outside the cabin, and said leisurely: "She is too strong, she has always been obsessed with her career and does not let go, think about it, Yu Du, who is closest to her, has found happiness, she is still insisting, alas...... However, I have now found my own happy life, and I sincerely hope that she will be happy for the rest of her life. ”

When he said this, Huo Xixian's affectionate gaze kept staring at Lu Fei.

Erin looked at Lu Fei and smiled: "Me too." ”

Lu Fei smiled: "Isn't it time to toast?" ”

Huo Xixian and Erin raised their glasses, but Alice said loudly: "Slow! ”

Lu Fei turned his head and smiled, "What's wrong with you little girl?" ”

Alice exhaled angrily: "Lu, you are so irresponsible, you fooled Duan Monkey and them, and what did you say about advanced psychological tactics, and you quietly slipped back to the airport in the second half of their game without even looking at it, what if they lost?" ”

Lu Fei smiled: "Why do you say that I fooled them? ”

Alice argued, "I said you're fooling, you're fooling!" ”

Lu Fei laughed and said: "What kind of truth are you, I don't watch the game not because the take-off time is coming, but because I knew the result of the game from the beginning." ”

Alice grimaced: "Phew! I'm pretending to be a ghost again. ”

"You don't believe me?" Lu Fei said with a smile, "The competition was already over when I arrived at the airport, if you don't believe it, ask the flight attendant to see who is the first in the gold medal list." ”

"Okay, I'll go as soon as I go, if they lose, you will be punished for one year and not allowed to return to China!" Alice finished and left.

"Good! I will grant you this impudent request. ”

Two minutes later, Alice returned.

Lu Fei and the three looked at her with a smile and said in unison, "What's the result?" ”

Alice didn't answer anything, just raised her glass: "Cheers to victory!" ”

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

“Cheers！”

The four wine glasses collided together, causing a sparkling splash.

In the night sky, a plane flew towards the depths of the starlit vastness.

Where the stars shine, what is left behind is the sweet laughter, and those heroic years that people will never forget, just like the eternal starry sky, exuding immortal brilliance.
