"However, even if you can't afford to take on the big drain, you can stay in the team and help your teammates, an experienced veteran like you is valuable to all teams!"

A reporter continued. m.

Indeed, an experienced veteran like Li Jingming is what every team needs, not to mention that his personal strength is still so strong, as long as Li Jingming no longer takes on the core position and reduces the consumption of each game, he can still continue to stay in the team and shine.

Unless Li Jingming can't let go of his body and is unwilling to appear on the court as a non-core identity.

But those who know Li Jingming know that he is a person who pursues victory and defeat very purely, and as long as he can still play, he will definitely be willing to continue to stay on the court.

So why is that? Regarding this question, Li Jingming smiled helplessly, "It has been more than seven years since I came to the Demon Tribulation, and in these seven years, all the tactical systems and personnel configuration of the Demon Tribulation have been built around me, and as long as I am still in the Demon Tribulation, the Demon Tribulation will not be able to complete the reconstruction; I can't go any further, but the calamity still needs to go on. ”

Understood, now everyone understands; Li Jingming has been in the Demon Tribulation for seven years, and many things have been ingrained, as long as he is still on the field, the players will subconsciously take him as the core to fight, even if the Demon Tribulation introduces new all-stars or even god-level players, as long as Li Jingming is still in the Demon Tribulation for a day, the newcomers will not be able to become the new core of the Demon Tribulation for a day.

Li Jingming's choice to retire was not so much for himself as for the team, and Mu Dao was finally persuaded because of this.

At the beginning, Mu Dao said to him, come to the Demon Tribulation, the Demon Tribulation needs you more; So he came, and brought untold glory to the tribulation; Now, when he found out that the Demon Tribulation no longer needed him, and he had even begun to drag the Demon Tribulation down, as the captain of the team, he chose to leave on his own initiative.

In the face of Li Jingming like this, the reporters who had prepared countless questions to ask suddenly found that in fact, there was no need to ask many questions.

"Anyone else want to ask?"

There was a moment of silence at the scene, and the host asked on the side.

A reporter raised his hand, and under the host's signal, he got up and asked: "Li Shen, at the end of this season, will you still participate in this year's 'No. 1 Martial Arts Association in the World'?" ”

"Yes." Li Jingming nodded.

"Whew"

Many people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, this season's catastrophe is unlikely to enter the playoffs, that is to say, there are not many games belonging to Li Jingming, and everyone will watch one less game; Now that Li Jingming said that he will still participate in the 'No. 1 Martial Arts Association in the World', then at least after the end of this season, everyone will have the opportunity to watch Li Jingming's games a few more times.

"Li Shen, do you have anything else to say to everyone and your fans?"

This was the last question asked by the journalist.

Li Jingming was stunned, silent for a long time, and finally said with a bitter face: "I'm sorry, actually, I haven't thought about what to say yet......

This is the last thing Li Jingming said, and this is the end of this press conference.

"Hey."

Gu Cheng, who watched the entire press conference in silence from beginning to end, sighed again, turned off the computer, and was thinking about something a little distractedly.

"Why didn't he choose to go to another team?" Ning Pei suddenly asked.

After watching the press conference, he also roughly understood the reason why Li Jingming chose to retire, but he was more curious that since he could still play, he was obviously reluctant to leave, why didn't he choose to change teams to continue?

Gu Cheng smiled with emotion, "In the current league, you can see the news of who and who transfers at every turn, stay in this team this year, go to another team next year for a high salary, and maybe go to another team to win the championship the year after next; It can't be said that it is not good, after all, the operation of the commercialization of the alliance is also becoming more and more successful; However, in the early days of the league, most professional players were still willing to 'choose a team for the rest of their lives', no matter how difficult it was, as long as the team still needed it, they would choose to stay in the team until the day when they couldn't play. ”

Ning Pei nodded, it was obvious that Li Jingming was the kind of person Gu Cheng said who 'chose a team to grow old', so he would not consider going to another team to continue his career.

The two did not continue to communicate, and Ning Pei continued his practice until 8 o'clock in the evening, when the Spring Festival Gala began.

"Hey, come and rest for a while, let's eat." Gu Cheng shouted not far away.

"Wait a minute." Ning Pei replied that he was sending an email to the old man at this time, according to custom, at this time of year, the old man should also be watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Sure enough, the old man quickly replied to Ning Pei with a very simple sentence.

"I'm fine, take care of yourself."

Ning Pei smiled and didn't continue to reply,

got up and walked towards Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng specially bought some dishes, set up a table, and turned on the projection in the center of the Internet café to start playing the Spring Festival Gala.

After sitting down, Gu Cheng took out a bottle of wine, two glasses, filled it for himself first, and then asked Ning Pei: "Drink two glasses?" ”

Ning Pei hesitated, he didn't plan to make an exception, but he remembered that the old man who was far away from home might be drinking alone at this time, so he nodded and motioned for Gu Cheng to pour it for himself.

"Come, let's go!" Gu Cheng raised his glass, touched it with Ning Pei, and then killed it in one gulp.

Ning Pei silently recited a sentence in his heart, and then killed it in one bite.

After a few glasses, Gu Cheng's face was a little red, and it could be seen that he didn't usually drink much, and the amount of alcohol was average.

"Boy, do you know the 'long river of history'?"

"What?"

"Do you have an impression of Wu Jing's boot animation?"

Ning Pei remembered the characters and introductions that appeared on the long river one after another (see Chapter 7 for details), and nodded.

"Impressions."

"That's history! In the history of martial arts, players who break through a skill to the unparalleled realm in the world are eligible to leave their names on the 'long river of history'. ”

The fifth realm of skills is unparalleled in the world, after a set of skills breaks through to this realm, there will be an additional style, this type of skill is called a divine skill, and there is only one character in the world who has this type of skill, even if someone also practices this set of skills to the unparalleled realm in the world, the divine skill he obtains is also different from others, this is the real sense of the world!

A professional player with divine skills, he is called a god-level player by players.

Even if the league has developed so far, the number of god-level players in the same season has never exceeded the number of hands, so you can imagine how difficult it is to rank in the 'long river of history'.

"From the first season of the league to now, it is the sixteenth season, and there are countless martial arts players, and now there are only 21 people in the 'long history'." Gu Cheng said slowly, already a little drunk.

Ning Pei looked at him, wondering why he suddenly brought this up.

"I hope that one day, your name will appear in the 'long river of history'! In that case, it can be regarded as living up to the 'Yanlong'. ”

'Nor did he fail me', he kept it in his heart, didn't say it, and then he fell completely drunk.
