Chapter 378

“。。。 For personal reasons, Mr. Downing decided to step down as a coach. I am very grateful to Mr. Tang Ning for leading our team to achieve excellent results, and I wish him all the best in his future life. ”

A message sent by the NB team on Weibo instantly attracted the attention of many fans.

"This coach is not bad, why did he terminate the contract?"

"Who knows, the official didn't make it clear, maybe the coach really encountered some problems."

Fans were surprised by the sudden departure of the coach and were talking about it.

It's just that the departure of a well-known local coach is not a big deal at all. Less than a day later, the heat of the matter had dissipated and people moved on to a new topic.

Xiahai City, Downing's house.

"Son, listen to your mother, find a stable job, find a good girl to fall in love and get married, and don't be a professional coach anymore. Yesterday, Qigu introduced me to a girl, saying that she came back from studying in the UK, or do you know each other? Hey, son, don't go, you're almost 30 years old, and you have to think about life events... The mother, who was mopping the floor, saw Tang Ning staring at the computer in a daze, and couldn't help but muttered again.

Tang Ning's mother's name is Guo Feng, and she worked in telecom from the age of 18 until she retired, although the position is not high, but the salary is enough to support their two mother and son.

She doesn't know what an esports dream is, and she doesn't want her son to be a team coach. Like other parents, her only wish is for her son to get married early and have a grandson for her.

Downing's father died when he was a child, and even Downing didn't see him a few times. I heard my mother say that my father was a person with a lot of dreams, and when the state-owned enterprises were reformed, my father jumped out to start a business, but unfortunately he was in a car accident and died young.

Downing has had average grades in school since he was a child, and his dream is to become a professional e-sports player like Sky and them. From Dota to Shinzo to LoL, he played pretty well. In the S3 season, LOL opened the rank system, and he even hit the first place in the national server and was invited by the professional team.

It's a pity that he was 24 years old at that time, which is already an old age or even overage as an esports player.

As he gets older, Downing's reflexes inevitably slip. After an unsuccessful season, Downing could not compete with the young recruits and was relegated to the bench.

Faced with such a situation, he did not complain. E-sports strength is the first, and his strength is not as good as others, so it is only right that he can't play.

Sitting on the bench, he did not give up his esports dream, and he began to observe the coach's no-selection strategy and the performance of his teammates on the field, looking for their strengths and weaknesses.

A year later, Downing chose to retire and become the team's coach. He joined the NB team that was still in the LSP at the time, and led the team to the LPL until the NB Impact S Tournament in the summer season failed to qualify, terminated his contract, and issued the above Weibo announcement.

"Got it, Mom, I'll go out to look for it now, and I'll definitely find a daughter-in-law who satisfies you, don't worry! I'm leaving, bye-bye~"

This is the nth time his mother has been talking to him these days, since he is unemployed at home, his mother has been telling him every day to find a stable job and find a daughter-in-law, he can only run outside to hide, avoid his mother's preaching.

October was the crisp autumn weather, and Downing didn't feel cold just wearing a single coat, he walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about his future.

Money, although he is not rich, he is not very lacking. As the head coach of an LPL team, his salary is not low, and with his savings in the past few years, even if he can't find a new job for a year or two, he can support himself and his mother.

He didn't plan to find a secure job, as his mother had suggested. The competition is so fierce these years, he is a third-rate undergraduate graduate, and after all these years, he can't do anything else except League of Legends, why should people invite him?

Girlfriend, hehe, as a professional team coach, he lives in the team base at least 300 days a year, except for the aunt who cooks and cleans, the others are all men, where do you let him find a girlfriend?

You don't see SKT's head coach KKOMA, who is still a bachelor in his 30s, and even his teammates are teasing him in the post-game interview, asking him to help him find a girlfriend.

Even the most famous League of Legends coach in the world can't escape the fate of a single dog, and Downing feels that he himself is more hanging.

"Hey, let's fill my stomach first." As Downing walked, his stomach suddenly rumbled, reminding him that he needed to eat.

He came to Fu Ji Restaurant, he went to school when he was a child, and his mother had to go to work and didn't have time to cook for him, so he let him eat in this restaurant by himself, and he ate here for more than ten years.

"A-Ning, come to dinner, what do you want to eat today?" The boss asked with a smile when he saw the old acquaintance coming.

Tang Ning has eaten here for nearly 20 years, and the boss has watched him grow from a 1.3-meter-3 child to a 1.85-meter-old mature man now. He also watched the boss's sideburns and gray hair grow from nothing, and he walked from striding meteors to relying on crutches.

Tang Ning has no father since he was a child, and the boss treats him as his own, and for him, the boss is half his father.

"Uncle Fu, just give me a package A." Tang Ning saw the boss stand up, and hurriedly walked over to support him.

Uncle Fu is old, and now he only sits at the front desk and is responsible for collecting money and placing orders, and his son is in charge of the back kitchen. Hearing Tang Ning's words, his son began to get up.

Tang Ning slowly helped Uncle Fu to sit down, and the two chatted, Tang Ning saw that there was an old man in the store who was sitting and didn't order food, so he asked Uncle Fu curiously: "Uncle Fu, what's the situation with that old gentleman?" ”

"I don't know, he just came here to sit these days, asked him if he wanted to eat, he didn't speak, and left by himself after a while." Uncle Fu glanced at the old man and said slowly.

Uncle Fu was talking to Tang Ning when the old gentleman had already stood up and walked out the door.

"Sir, your wallet has dropped!" The old man dropped a wallet when he passed by Tang Ning, and Tang Ning picked it up and quickly called out to him.

"Thank you." The old man's voice was very hoarse, and he had a feeling of being in his old age.

Tang Ning handed over the wallet, the old man took it tremblingly, he saw Tang Ning's face, stunned for a moment, and then took out a photo from the wallet, as if comparing something.

"You, are you named Tangning?" The old man's voice was hoarse, but he could be heard full of anticipation.

Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Yes, I am Tang Ning, do you know me?" ”

He didn't have any impression of this old man, how could the old man recognize him?

"You, have you ever been a League of Legends pro player and coach?" When the old man heard Tang Ning's admission, he became more and more excited, and his cheeks turned red because of congestion.

Tang Ning was taken aback, he nodded, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Maybe I still have an old fan of this age." ”

Seeing Tang Ning nodding, the old man laughed loudly, and he patted Tang Ning on the shoulder so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go too!" After filming Tang Ning, the old man turned around and left, he walked like a fly, so that people couldn't connect him with the old man who was old just now.

"What a strange old man." Tang Ning stretched his arms to relieve the pain caused by the old man's hard slapping just now, and couldn't help but complain. After dinner, Tang Ning continued to wander the streets, he didn't want to go home so early, and he would have to be nagged by his mother when he went home.

"Hey, let's go to an Internet café to play the alliance." It's boring to just hang out like this, he's not a girl, and he's still full of energy after a day of shopping.

Tang Ning found a netfish Internet café, so he went in and opened a machine and played tricks.

As a professional coach for a team, he doesn't need to play high to prove himself, but he still has to know every version of the game.

From his first day as a coach, he has been required to play at least one or two games a day on non-match days, which he believes will allow him to ensure that he has a good understanding of the game.

Downing skillfully logged into the game and started a round of qualifying.

"Hey, the former number one in the national costume has now become a platinum god of war, and it's really not good to be old." Tang Ning put on his headphones and laughed at himself as he locked the blind monk jungler and prepared to start the final game of his Platinum 3 promotion tournament.

In the life and death game of the promotion match, he took out the signature hero who he played the first place in the national costume that year: the blind monk.

Back then, he was in the King's Bureau, and no one dared to let the blind monk go to him, as long as the opponent met him, he would definitely ban his blind monk.

In S4, Sect used R flash spin kicks in the professional arena and was known as the founder of the blind monk R flash. However, few people know that when Tang Ning played the first place in the national uniform in S3, his blind monk often used R to dodge the group in the ranks.

Downing's first district ID is called Ye Ao, Nai I Ho, this name sounds very middle two, but if it is a high-level veteran player who has been playing during the S1-S3 period, they must be very impressed by this name.

At that time, the recognized national uniform was divided into three legs: the child god, the nose team, and what can I do. The last one is Downing.

It's a pity that time is a pig-killing knife, and no one can escape the erosion of time. And Downing is the one who has been eroded the deepest.

From the speed of light to the speed of light to the speed of the elderly to touch the eyes of the r, the difference is the difference between the 23-year-old and the 28-year-old.

His consciousness was still there, but his reflexes and hand speed could no longer keep up with his consciousness. Many times he knows when to do what to do, and how to cast skills to work best, but he can't do it at all, or the operation is completely deformed.

After playing the red buff, he was promoted to level 2, and when he saw that the opposite jungler was a leopard girl, he wanted to reverse the red buff on the opposite side.

He snapped a shot at his opponent's red buff to make sure the Leopard Girl was here.

As soon as the leopard girl reached the red buff, she saw the blind monk's inserted eye, which also meant that her position was exposed to the blind monk's field of vision.

"Sky Sonic Wave! / Javelin throw! Both of them immediately hit their Q skills into each other's positions.

Seeing the leopard girl's javelin thrown out, Tang Ning dodged without saying a word, and then connected to the second Q skill echo and flew towards the leopard girl.

As soon as the Blind Monk's echo strike damage came out, he immediately cast the E skill Heavenly Thunder Break, and then cast the second E skill again to destroy the muscles and bones, and combined with the damage of the thunder, he killed the leopard girl who had little blood left.

"666666, it looks like this game has hit the thigh." witnessed the blind monk's full operation of the mid-laner clockwork, and called Tang Ning.

After Tang Ning's set of operations, even he himself was stunned, "I'll go, am I in such a good state today!" He couldn't believe he could still do that.

If this had been 5 years ago, Q, Dodge Skill, Q, was completely his basic operation. But after he slumped, it had been a long time since he had been able to play such a smooth operation, and more often than not, he knew that he needed to dodge skills, but he didn't have time to press the flash.

After killing the Leopard Girl, the Blind Monk came to the upper road again, and Tang Ning wanted to help their Nuo hand kill the opponent's Pan Sen.

A sonic shot struck Pan Sen, and after the hit, he immediately picked up the second stage of the echo blow, only to see his blind monk rushing towards Pan Sen, who was not far from the defense tower.

Seeing the blind monk flying towards him, Pan Sen decisively flashed to the bottom of the tower. He wants to bring the blind monk to the bottom of the tower, and then use the W skill holy shield strike to freeze the blind monk, and cooperate with the damage of the defense tower to kill him.

Seeing Pan Sen flash into the tower, the blind monk interjected in the middle of the flight of the echo strike, forcibly canceled his echo strike halfway through the flight, and instead moved to the scout guard, earning a flash of Pan Sen and leaving in style.

"Oh, cool!" After completing this operation, Tang Ning couldn't help but roar in the Internet café, but his roar, as if he was shooting something out of his body, caused the people around him to think that he was watching a small movie here, and they looked at him one after another.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." Seeing that the people nearby were looking at him, Tang Ning apologized again and again.

He didn't expect that his state today would suddenly return to his peak, and he was a little overexcited all of a sudden.

At his peak, he was the first in the national uniform, and playing a small platinum 3 promotion match was not hand-to-hand? This game was completely his one-man slaughter show, with a 7-figure roundhouse kick, touching his eyes and flashing Q, and Downing frantically showed off his former operations.

He won this game very easily, the jungler leopard girl on the opposite side was beaten by him to hang up, and in 15 minutes his blind monk was already 13-0-3, breaking the opponent's three-way, and the opponent's 5 people surrendered directly.

Feeling that he was in great shape today, and his hand was hot, Tang Ning decided to play a few more sets. He played two more games of Blind Monk, and in each game he knocked out the opposite side like chopping melons and vegetables.

"I'll go, what's the situation, how do I feel that I'm so awesome today, this operation and reaction, even when I played the first place in the national uniform, I may not be able to do it."

After another round of slaughter, Downing quit the game, he felt that today was too weird, he felt that he had suddenly dreamed back to his peak, and it was not his peak in lol, but back to the peak of his entire gaming career.

Dota players all know that there was once a person named Wang Xiaoya, who built a building for Shadow Demon Solo in the post bar and never tasted defeat.

That person was the peak Downing when he was 18 years old.

Eighteen years old, the shadow demon slaughtered it, and all the friends in the bar were minions.

After exiting the game, Tang Ning looked at the time on his phone, and before he knew it, it was already more than 9 o'clock, and it was time for him to go home.

After returning home, Tang Ning took a bath, and when he saw that his mother was going to come over to talk to him again, he hurriedly hid in his room.

"Stinky boy, it's good that you can find a girlfriend so fast to avoid me!" Seeing Tang Ning hiding in the room, Tang Mu kicked the door hatefully and said angrily outside.

"Mom, I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm sleeping, you can go to bed early, good night!" After Tang Ning finished speaking, he turned off the lights and pretended to sleep, but he was actually playing with his mobile phone in bed.

"Don't play with your phone for so long!" Of course, Tang's mother knew about his son's urine, and after reminding him, she also returned to her room and prepared to sleep.
