Chapter 17: Zhang Long's Troubles
It's a hot summer, and the air is maddeningly hot.
The atmosphere in the RAINBOW e-sports club is even more restless than the midsummer in Beijing.
"Mingsi God, sign me!"
"Brother Mingsi, teach me the operation of the Qinglian Sword Immortal!"
"Brother Mingsi......"
Although it is the second team of RAINBOW, I usually do sparring for the first team, but the treatment before and after winning the championship is really different.
Mingsi smiled bitterly, "It's been a long time since I saw you. ”
Manager Zhang Long asked everyone to be a little restless, he had already told the ins and outs to the players of the second team, and at this moment he said seriously: "A few of you are carefully selected from all the substitutes, and now is the most difficult moment for the club. ”
As soon as these words came out, several young people present were extremely excited.
"Oh, Uncle Long, don't worry, although our operation is not as good as that of the Great God of Mingsi, it is not covered."
Zhang Long waved his hand and said to Mingsi: "Mingsi, you can say a few words to everyone, now you are their champion MVP, the spiritual leader of the club." ”
Mingsi looked at Zhang Long, then cleared his throat and said to several substitutes: "The affairs of the club, I think everyone knows that I came here today because I didn't let go of the e-sports dream in my heart. Right now, time is tight, and we only have two months to train. In two months' time, we will play a match against the national server HERO United team, and if we win, we will represent the RAINBOW team and the national HERO Athletic League to participate in the World Series qualifiers, and if we lose, another team will replace us. ”
Several substitutes were intently watching and listening.
Mingsi continued: "I am also a professional player who grew up in the RAINBOW team, although there are some situations to deal with in the club at present, but I believe that everything will be fine, do you have the confidence to become the strongest team in the national e-sports!?"
"We are confident!" The younger brother replied.
"We are confident!" Zhang Mosheng, Li Ziqiu, Mao Xiaole, and Peng Yuning said in unison.
Mingsi's heart is also full of pride, although the time is urgent, but work hard, maybe there is still a chance.
"We will develop a two-month training program, during which you may have a hard time, if you have any ideas, you can come directly to me." Mingsi said.
Manager Zhang Long nodded and said to everyone: "For the e-sports dream, for the world competition, everyone work hard!" ”
A group of substitutes were elated and entered the e-sports warehouse to start qualifying.
"Everyone is here today, go back and get ready, and tomorrow I will be training at the club." Mingsi said.
"Roger!"
When the substitutes were sent away, Mingsi and Zhang Long walked side by side on the way back to the club.
"Manager, I see that in the training room, a lot of the previous e-sports equipment is gone, what's the situation?"
Zhang Long looked helpless and said: "When you participated in the national finals before, everyone was not optimistic about you winning the championship, so there was no advertising endorsement. When you won the championship, you signed a few commercial contracts, and then there was an accident, the team couldn't even get together, and the breach of contract clause was triggered, and the sponsors demanded to terminate the contract, and I lost nearly 10 million yuan in liquidated damages alone, and even the bonuses issued by the alliance to the club."
Mingsi let out a soft "um", this is indeed a tricky question.
"Mingsi, you also know that we are a campus team, and we can't compare with those big professional e-sports clubs. After the team had an accident, the school appeased the families of the wine store Ting and Xi Jiangyue, and lost a lot of money, which is as it should be, but the club faced a breach of endorsement contract, and as a last resort, I discussed with the school and sold some of the assets. It's good to be able to maintain normal expenses now. ”
Mingsi suddenly asked: "Manager, do you have any confidence in me to train the second-tier team and play in the qualifiers?" ”
Zhang Long looked at Ming Si solemnly, and then shook his head slightly, "To be honest, the confidence is not very big, even if the wooden comb coach comes back, the hope is very slim, there are only two months, how can it be possible to train a master of the competition?" ”
"Oh? Then why do you insist that the second team conduct a training camp?"
"To be honest, I'm a little selfish, and I'm not convinced" Zhang Long stretched out his hand and touched his chin, "Now many clubs are looking at our jokes, saying that a small team is not blessed to suffer from the championship and other vicious words, if it can really break through successfully, then our RAINBOW will definitely be able to recover, even stronger than before, if it doesn't work, at least we have struggled, it's better than admitting defeat easily, the future, it's not good, what if there is a miracle, right?" ”
Ming Si nodded slightly and said: "I don't have a lot of bottom in my heart now, but let's do everything first, delay one more day, and the competition time will be nearly one day." ”
Zhang Long patted Mingsi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No matter what, you can win the first national championship for the club, and I am also very proud as a non-famous esports manager." Moreover, we all know your physical condition, and you must not be difficult for yourself, and the future will be long. ”
"Manager, do you have a clear idea of the abilities of these substitutes?"
Zhang Long sighed twice and replied: "They are all students at the first level of your brother Mingyi, you have also played training matches before, and you have been abused by you, what is your strength, the passerby bureau ranks the king of fifteen or sixteen stars." ”
Ming Si smiled dumbly, "I forgot the scene of fighting them, I have no memory at all." ”
"They have improved very quickly during this time, especially Zhang Mosheng and Li Ziqiu, who have the shadow of you."
While the two were talking, they suddenly smelled a fragrance, coming from far and near.
"What are you talking about, Mingsi, Manager Zhang." A pleasant female voice came.
"Oh, it's Xiao Zhou, I'm talking to Mingsi about the club's training camp." As soon as Zhang Long looked up, he realized that it was Zhou Qing who came.
"You're here." Mingsi smiled.
"I've been here for a while, I can't find you in the club, I heard Aunt Ran say that you and the manager went to see off the players." Zhou Qing wore a light blue short skirt, long hair with a shawl, and beautiful eyebrows, which looked very feminine.
Zhang Long looked up at his watch, "It's time for dinner, let's go eat first." Hey, this was supposed to be for your championship team, but I didn't expect it..."
When the words came to his mouth, Zhang Long only said half of it, and when Mingsi heard it, he was also sad in his heart.
"It's good to come back, our team's shelf is still there, and it will definitely get better and better in the future." Manager Zhang Long tried to calm down and said categorically.
Looking at Manager Zhang Long's thin back, Mingsi felt very much in his heart, enjoying the glory at the highest peak for only a moment, and then slipped to the bottom of the deep valley, if it wasn't for his love for e-sports, Manager Zhang Long probably wouldn't have persevered.
"Mingsi, what are you thinking?" Zhou Qing saw that Mingsi's face suddenly became very serious, and asked with concern.
"RAINBOW WILL BE BACK, AND IT WILL BE STRONGER THAN BEFORE." Mingsi said word by word.
