Chapter 522: Obsession and Obsession
It is undeniable that there is indeed a personal grudge between Cai Wenxiang and Hu Xiaopeng, otherwise, it would not have been possible to almost fight in front of everyone.
But the question is, is the grievance between the two of them really irreconcilable and resolvable?
No, or strictly speaking, the grievances and grievances between the two of them are just Cai Wenxiang's unwillingness to make trouble.
I believe that if Cai Wenxiang hadn't chosen to join the Bingfeng Club, which was hostile to WIN, Cai Wenxiang would be an unlikable guy at most in Hu Xiaopeng's heart, and he would never reach the level of-for-tat, after all, Cai Wenxiang's first impression on Hu Xiaopeng at that time was too arrogant, and the appearance of taking the initiative to provoke the players in the audience was also so unstoppable.
will never take the initiative to provoke trouble easily, but if he encounters a guy who has nothing to do and has enough reason to be bored, Hu Xiaopeng naturally has no reason to take the initiative to back down, this is Hu Xiaopeng's attitude towards him after meeting Cai Wenxiang.
And the fundamental reason why Cai Wenxiang has always been obsessed with Hu Xiaopeng is also very simple, that is, Cai Wenxiang has always hoped to find an opportunity to distinguish with Hu Xiaopeng on the field who really wins and who loses.
The two first met during the professional qualifying tournament, but due to the relationship between the competition system and the time limit of the competition, in order to keep his first place, Cai Wenxiang, who had been invincible in the arena, had to choose to give in.
After both of them became the main starters of their respective clubs, because Hu Xiaopeng chose to become a supporting IA player, Cai Wenxiang suffered from not having the opportunity to meet Hu Xiaopeng head-on in the single competition in the second half of last season.
Even if you may meet Hu Xiaopeng in the team competition, then you will not be able to start a one-on-one challenge and fight with Hu Xiaopeng because it is a team competition.
Originally, in the last All-Star Game, Cai Wenxiang thought that he could finally meet Hu Xiaopeng in the rookie game, but who would have thought that Hu Xiaopeng gave up the invitation to participate in the rookie game and only attended the main game of the All-Star Game.
As a newcomer, Cai Wenxiang was not eligible to participate in the All-Star Game, which caused the two of them to miss the opportunity to fight again.
Until the beginning of this league, when he learned that Hu Xiaopeng had played in the singles one after another as an auxiliary IA and won many consecutive victories, Cai Wenxiang turned out to be the only happy and most excited person in the entire Bingfeng Club, because it meant that he finally had the opportunity to meet Hu Xiaopeng in the singles competition.
But who would have thought that Bingfeng met WIN twice in the regular season, but it was all in vain because of Yu Guanfei's intervention, no matter how he asked for the battle before the game, he couldn't change the fact that he and Hu Xiaopeng passed by twice in a row.
This is an unwillingness and a pity, especially after Hu Xiaopeng first snatched the "Most Potential Newcomer" award that should have belonged to him in the professional qualifying tournament, and then won the championship in the All-Star Competition, Cai Wenxiang, who only won the title of All-Star "Rookie King", is even more eager to prove his strength to Hu Xiaopeng, and wants Hu Xiaopeng to admit that he is the strongest player among the two.
After more than a year of waiting, Cai Wenxiang was finally able to meet Hu Xiaopeng head-on in the semifinals, but fate played a joke on him again, because looking back on the whole singles match, Cai Wenxiang couldn't think of anything worth showing off.
It's not that his competitive state is not good, or that there are some problems with his on-the-spot performance, just because Hu Xiaopeng's comprehensive strength is really much stronger than himself.
The comprehensive strength is not limited to the means and skills of controlling IA, but also includes the control of battle timing, as well as the choice of routes when attacking and retreating, as well as the concealment of tracks and the implementation of tactics.
Seeing that his attacks again and again were easily dodged by Hu Xiaopeng, even the pursuit and grappling that he was proud of was easily escaped by Hu Xiaopeng.
With such a performance, is it like letting Hu Xiaopeng give up the title of the most potential newcomer to himself? Do you still expect to be able to make up for the regrets left by Hu Xiaopeng?
Don't be kidding, even the title of the rookie king of the last All-Star seems to be extremely embarrassing at this moment, as if he is laughing at himself half.
Defeat is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no confidence to continue fighting.
For Cai Wenxiang, who is no longer a newcomer, although defeat is not a common thing for him, and he cannot be accustomed to it, it is not enough to make him completely disheartened, but because of this game, he re-realized his shortcomings.
And this may be the fundamental reason why Cai Wenxiang did not lose at all after suffering a fiasco, but felt relaxed.
"Cai Wenxiang, how did you play this game? Didn't you say you had the confidence to win this singles match? How could you ......"
Without waiting for Cai Wenxiang, who had just finished the physical examination, to return to the combat conference room to rest for a while, You Xiaorong, as the captain, asked Cai Wenxiang in a relatively stern tone in front of a group of players and staff.
In the face of You Xiaorong's unceremonious questioning, Cai Wenxiang didn't want to pay attention to it, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he immediately opened his mouth and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
"Did I say that? If I'm not mistaken, the word confidence seems to be right from you. ”
"What? You still have a reason to lose the game, don't you? ”
"Why don't you play on the field next week and try it out for yourself?"
"You ......"
Hearing that Cai Wenxiang was arguing with himself here, as if he was questioning his authority, seeing this, how could You Xiaorong miss this good opportunity to let Cai Wenxiang get out? I saw that he immediately moved out of Guanfei, the big boss of Bingfeng, changed his previous attitude, and said to him again.
"It's not good to be out of the class, you forgot Manager Yu's explanation before the game? I advise you to go to Manager Yu to explain it now, otherwise be careful of your ......"
"Humph......"
Without waiting for You Xiaorong to finish speaking, he saw Cai Wenxiang snort coldly and then turned around and sat on the sofa beside him, completely ignoring it.
"Cai Wenxiang, don't you want to be mixed? If you don't want to mix, get out of the way as soon as possible. ”
"You want me to get out? Do you have that right? Don't forget, you're just ......"
"Brother......
Just when Cai Wenxiang and You Xiaorong were facing each other, Chrissy's voice suddenly came, and then I saw Chrissy running to Cai Wenxiang's side and pulling him up from the sofa, turning around and saying to You Xiaorong.
"Team You, my brother just lost the game, he may be a little emotional excited, don't take it to heart."
"I'll take him out to calm down."
Saying that, regardless of whether Cai Wenxiang wanted it or not, Chrissy pulled him and hurriedly rushed out of the door, as if she was afraid that the conflict between the two of them would continue to intensify.
After Chrissy and Cai Wenxiang both left the battle conference room, looking at all the players and staff who were looking here, You Xiaorong was kind-hearted, but Cai Wenxiang regarded it as a donkey's liver and lungs with a regretful expression, and pretended to sigh helplessly and whispered to himself.
"This Cai Wenxiang, if you lose the game, don't you just ask Manager Yu to explain it well?"
"Besides, who doesn't know how that guy will perform in the singles? There's no shame in losing the game, as for throwing fire on me? If only it were because ......"
"Hello? to the manager. ”
"Yes, don't get excited, you can't blame him for this matter, that guy from WIN is really strong, the last time they were against RGE, didn't Ge Mingliang also plant it in his hands?"
"No, you listen to me explain, Cai Wenxiang's performance in this game is not bad, if it weren't for ......"
……
pretended to take out the phone, and in front of more than a dozen people present, he tried his best to explain to Yu Guanfei, who came to question "on the phone".
But in fact, whether the phone was connected or not, and what was the real situation that Yu Guanfei learned, this may be another matter, in short, in the eyes of most people, all the conflicts that just happened seemed to be really just because Cai Wenxiang was angry with You Xiaorong after the defeat.
As for Cai Wenxiang's side, after he was taken out of the war conference room by Chrissie, in the face of his sister's persuasion, he didn't think so, not to mention that he had long been annoyed with You Xiaorong, just saying that he had been playing for nearly two years in the Ice Maple Club, in fact, in some ways, he had also already disappointed him, so he didn't care whether he went or stayed.
And in the face of her brother's willfulness, Chrissy actually has no better way, because she knows very well how obsessed and serious Cai Wenxiang is with IA competition.
At the beginning, he could give up everything and go back to China to start over, in order to hope that there would be a better competitive environment, a stage where he could concentrate on competing.
And the reason why he chose the Ice Maple Club is not only because the Ice Maple Club took the initiative to throw an olive branch to him and offered him a high contract that he couldn't refuse, but also because the Ice Maple Club has a space where he can play his abilities.
In the deep-pocketed Bingfeng Club, he no longer has to worry about the subsequent promotion of IA, and in the domestic professional league, he no longer has to be helpless about the black market periphery that constantly interferes with the results of the game.
It is undeniable that after coming to the Ice Maple Club, Cai Wenxiang got everything he expected before, and his strong style and belligerent personality that are good at being alone seem to be very compatible with the Ice Maple Club.
But as he got to know the Ice Maple Club more and more, and after getting to know the companions around him, he also saw that everyone above and below Ice Maple was not a club that competed for the sake of competition.
Money? Right? Or the so-called vanity and competition for fame and fortune, these external factors should not be an extension and sublimation of the competitive spirit.
Perhaps the direct reason that forced him to stay in Bingfeng was just the original contract and his sister Chrissy, otherwise, with Cai Wenxiang's radical personality and temper, maybe he would have looked for other clubs that were more "pure" and more suitable for him.
It's just a pity that Cai Wenxiang's wish cannot be truly realized for the time being, because due to the restrictions of the contract, he can't easily leave Bingfeng, and he doesn't have enough capital strength and background to realize his desire to break away from Bingfeng through breach of contract.
But fortunately, although he can't leave Bingfeng in a short period of time, it doesn't affect him to build Bingfeng into the club he wants.
Because just ten days later, when Jinrong Group suddenly announced a full withdrawal, and You Xiaorong was also disqualified by the IA League because of Yu Guanfei, who was in prison, Cai Wenxiang actually shouldered the dual responsibility of the head of the training department and the captain of the team with the support of the new general manager and the boss behind the scenes.
Drastic reform is the trend of the times.
It is imperative to abandon all previous bad habits.
As for whether Cai Wenxiang can completely change the Bingfeng Club, and whether he can fulfill his wish, this may only have to wait for the verification of time.
But no matter what, Cai Wenxiang still took an extremely important first step for his obsession and obsession with IA competition.
