Chapter 187: In San Francisco
Chapter 187 in San Francisco
When Lu Fei and his entourage arrived in beautiful Gokhaben, on the other side of the Atlantic.
Green took Yu Xiao to San Francisco (San Francisco) in the United States, and settled here, which is exactly the same as the small town of Aberdeen, which belongs to the East Side of the United States.
At this time, the American CS pattern, the east and west regions have been evenly divided into half of the country, although the sensational MDK club is a thing of the past, but the famous Nvidia club has moved its headquarters here, and under the recommendation of Green, the manager Miss Jenny took over Yu Xiao, and Yu Xiao officially became a student of the 3D third-line team.
Yu Xiao's identity is very strange, because she is a member of the study team, not the main player on the field, so she cannot represent the Nvidia club in any official form of competition, but she can enjoy the various training facilities provided by the club, as well as the right to participate in various training programs of the club.
"She is a poor Chinese girl, and I hope you can enlighten her as much as you help poor old Green." Green's words touched Jenny.
Nvidia's manager, Miss Jenny, is also a strong woman and a manager known for her iron-fisted approach in North American esports circles.
The well-known 3D stars are the world's biggest and most famous, but also the most undisciplined and disobedient group of Yankees.
Since the establishment of 3D in 02, no one in the whole club has dared to mess with Jenny, and even Morgan, who has always had the biggest temper, has to give her three points. Behind the brilliance of 3D, it is also Miss Jenny's hard work.
"I don't care who you are, what nationality you are, what your background is, and whether you are a woman or a girl, here, please be strict with yourself, because from now on, you are a member of this club, and I will not allow anything out of the ordinary to happen, otherwise, either you leave or I will get out." This is Jenny's opening remarks to Akatsuki.
Yu Xiao nodded in fear, this is the first time she has seen such a strong woman as Jenny.
The 3D team is divided into three lines, the first line is naturally dominated by the five superstars of 3DMiller, the second line is mixed in the IM level team of the CAL league, and the third line is purely amateurs who train with the club, many of them are college students in San Francisco, the club will not arrange official games, and except for the first line, no one else can hang the 3D team logo.
"It's very simple, the 3D team logo is a brand, if you don't have the strength, then please step aside, the club will not give you such rights." This was Jenny's answer, and no one questioned it, her words were orders.
In the entire club's team of players, Yu Xiao is the only woman.
If this is in China, a beautiful woman in the club does not know how much benefits she will win invisibly, but when she comes to the Nvidia club in the United States, it is completely different.
Just like when Lu Fei came to the United States, the identity of Chinese is not half respected and recognized at all, and if she wants to gain a foothold in this world's first-class ultra-luxury club, for a girl, Yu Xiao faces difficulties dozens of times higher than Lu Fei.
Domestic Csers always see the brilliant side and passionate side of the superstars in the demo of the competition, but they don't know how fierce and cruel competition they face and the invisible turbulent undercurrent behind them.
Yu Xiao's first difficulty was accommodation.
Because Nvidia clubs all arrange mini rooms like Japanese tatami mats for working players, and Yu Xiao is a woman, Miss Jenny can only rent a big house for her in the city alone, which can be regarded as giving Mr. Green a face.
You must know that the San Francisco city is full of land, and housing prices are more expensive than those in Munich, Germany, and this special case immediately caused dissatisfaction among others.
"3D's full name is DesireDisciplineDedication (ideal + discipline + confidence), why should you give such a good treatment to a Chinese woman? Is this disciplined? Morgan, who has always regarded himself as a big brother, said.
"Shut your foul mouth for me." Jenny reprimanded.
"You're protecting her." Moto, who has always been arrogant, couldn't sit still, "Because she's also a woman?" ”
"Go and train me, and whoever mentions this matter again, I want him to look good." Jenny was furious, "You disobedient wildlings. ”
Morgan, Moto, Kim, and Steel immediately stopped, and only Miller, who had always been silent, sighed secretly.
"You have to be mentally prepared that the training here is not as good as you think." Miller has a crush on this Chinese girl who doesn't like to talk and laugh.
"Thank you, Mr. Kyle." Yu Xiao whispered to Miller.
Miller nodded, "You're welcome." ”
The training courses of the Nvidia Club are completely beyond imagination, and it is not at all like the US-Asia United Club, which only specializes in systematic training for CS.
In addition to the basic training sessions necessary on a daily basis, the other clubs operate in the same way as football and basketball clubs.
There are 2 hours of morning running, gymnastics practice, male athletes must complete the physical fitness standard under the supervision of the coach, and there are indoor cycling, jogging, push-ups and other events on weekends, these physical training is the basic training to ensure that the athletes are exposed to computer radiation and competition energy consumption for a long time.
It doesn't look like much, but it's actually hard to practice.
The reason why 3D is so energetic and brave in many long battles comes from these preparations.
Of course, Yu Xiao is also a member of this establishment,
The manager's name is Koke, and he lives up to that name – harsh.
Cork is really not ordinarily harsh, not yelling at Xiao once or twice: "You're not a woman here, you're a player, you give me a serious point, otherwise you'll get out." ”
If this was said by someone else, if Thundering Erin and others heard it, it would be strange if he didn't fight with Cork.
But Yu Xiao doesn't argue anything, in fact, she has no qualifications to argue, if you want to make achievements in CS, at the very least, you have to be on par with the standards of these male players.
"I'm telling you, in a real game, the bullets in the enemy's guns won't show mercy to your men just because you're a woman." Here are the words of Cork.
Just for physical training, Yu Xiao has suffered enough.
In the first week, I had back pain, stomach pain, and neck pain, and on the road to Silicon Valley outside of San Francisco, the whole 3D team had to do it every day, rain or shine.
Of course, Yu Xiao was the one who fell at the bottom of the team, and the others would not show any sympathy for her, Morgan and the others would only laugh and sarcastically: "Hehe, you see, her running posture, limping, is it too much......"
"Wowha, be quiet, don't be so public." Moto smirked.
"Look, I'm not wrong, right?" Morgan laughed.
……
These words reached Yu Xiao's ears, Yu Xiao was sweaty, but there was still no expression on his face, only Miller on the side of the road watched all this in obscurity.
He knew that Yu Xiao was not what Morgan said, but that she had a foot injury, and this kind of training was not suitable for a female player like her at all.
At the end of the workout, the club will have very strict dietary restrictions.
It's not like the Chinese women's team, you can buy whatever you want, you can't buy any Chinese food and snacks, everything is according to the prescribed recipe: lettuce, beef, potatoes, eggs, polenta, spaghetti, ham and cheese......
These are high-energy, fortified foods.
Of course, in China you think it's nice to eat a little bit like this once in a while, but in the club, you eat it all over and over again every day, and you want to vomit when you see it.
Because the diet should ensure that you train at high intensity all day.
Nvidia Club training sessions can really make people tired.
There are as many as five items in the basic training alone, BOT, flying saucer, shooting cards, ring targets, and robots with modified skins...... There are so many things you need, starting at 9 a.m. and eliminating lunchtime, and basic training until 3 p.m.
With such a boring and boring repeated gun practice, Yu Xiao kind of understood why American players are always full of passion and imagination in the World Championships, because they are all forced out.
It has to be said that the "oppression" of the capitalist countries also has a reason for its existence.
After the basic training, this is the internal training of the teams on each line. In fact, this is also the most depressing place for Yu Xiao, not to mention internal training, no one even wants to sit with her during meals, everyone is less than 20 years old, and it is certain that they have mustard, because no one can afford her, she is Chinese and an outsider.
No one will pity you here, and no one will help you, in the concept of "team" in capitalist countries, you are not afraid that no matter how good you are, as long as you can't integrate into the collective, even if you are the king of heaven, Lao Tzu will kick you out, which is most obvious in the foreign companies in China.
Yu Xiao always stands silently behind the first-line team, quietly observing their training, this station is several hours, she has to absorb nutrients, absorb water, she is now a grass in the dark, if you want to wait for the arrival of light, you can only learn to endure.
At this time, Morgan and the others always sneered at her with disdain, and she was unmoved.
It was only during the occasional break from practice that Miller, who was mild-mannered, nodded to her.
Among the superstars of 3D, only Miller, a steady person, may have a lot of respect for Xiao. At the 2002 French Masters, the MDK army led by the Chinese king Lu Fei defeated the 3D chariot strongly, for this "great" failure, Morgan and these people actually thought that Lu Fei was lucky, and in the summer of 2002 CPL, lost Lu Fei's MDK and defeated 3D again, these wild boys still think they are very strong, and do not take the Chinese in their eyes at all.
Only Miller values "Chinese" talent, he knows that Lu Fei's success is not accidental, he likes Chinese, likes Chinese culture, and now there is a Chinese girl in the club, he inadvertently respects others.
The day's training was not over until 9 o'clock in the evening, and Yu Xiao returned to her residence alone, only then did she close the door of her room, lay on the bed and cry happily alone, tears were too much, and they surged out all at once. said a thousand things and ten thousand, even if she was obedient and gritted her teeth and insisted, she was always a girl, which is a woman's instinct.
There was a knock on the door, Yu Xiao quickly wiped away his tears, and went to open the door with red eyes, but it was Miller.
"So, is your foot injury better? I brought some medicine, this bottle is from your Yunnan province, China, it seems to be called Yunnan Baiyao. Miller raised his hand.
Yu Xiao said lightly: "It's much better, thank you, Mr. Kyle, please come in." ”
"You can just call me Kyle, it sounds awkward to call me sir." Miller laughed.
Although he was smiling, Yu Xiao was still expressionless, she never seemed to write her joys, sorrows and sorrows on her face, her heart would always be a Norwegian forest for Miller.
Miller was really curious, what was on her mind with this Chinese? She doesn't want to join the front line, and she is willing to endure the cruel training of the club, what is she here for?
"So, have you ever considered working at the club? Maybe the player profession isn't for you. Miller said sincerely.
Yu Xiao always answered very cleverly: "I'm not a player, just a member of the learning team, learning your skills." ”
Miller had to nod, Yu Xiao was indeed like this.
"You are exactly the same as the Lu I know, you are both very stubborn and strong, maybe you will go back in the future after learning a skill, right?"
Yu Xiao was still very indifferent: "I believe that when Lu Fei was in the United States, he suffered much more unfair treatment and a lot of hardships than me. ”
Miller nodded and smiled, "So, work hard, I'm sure you'll succeed." ”
Yu Xiao also nodded: "Thank you, Kyle!" ”
