Chapter 407: We Are the Champions
There were still a few minutes before the finals, and the shouts in the stadium flew out from the white lotus-shaped building on the bank of the Qiantang River, and there were many fans holding the ALU sign and even more fans holding the five-star red flag.
The anonymous players of the ALU entered the stadium wearing uniform red and white team uniforms, and before they sat down on the gaming table, they kept explaining in their ears: "You can't lose!" You've been chosen by a thousand! And this year we are the hosts, and we can't afford to lose! ”
The 3D image is projected in the middle of the field, above which is the loading screen of the game, and the voice of the commentator sounds, but the shouts of the fans below are still enthusiastic.
"I feel like I'm taking the college entrance exam." The headphones that Lin Momo was wearing were of quite good quality, but they still didn't completely block the sound in the field, her face was red, and she was talking to her teammates in the headset, "I feel light, as if in a dream, this is how I felt when I was in the college entrance examination, and then it passed in a daze, and there was a sense of unreality until the moment it ended." ”
"The college entrance examination means a new beginning, and this competition is the same." Taking advantage of the fact that the game had not yet started, Lu Zhi's hand gently scratched her palm underneath, "Our story, our career, is still long." ”
Lin Momo also scratched his palm back, yes, it's still long.
The computer cut into the game, the referee's voice sounded, Lu Zhi and Lin Momo's hands were temporarily separated, and they were placed on the keyboard and mouse, and every member of the ALU team had a solemn face.
In the last Asian Games in Jakarta, League of Legends became an electronic sports performance event, but in this Asian Games, e-sports is an official competition.
Last night, the two coaches, He Ranyu, and even Wang Mingyu, were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and in the middle of the night, they gathered five teammates from ALU together and showed them a video of Jakarta four years ago.
"How uncomfortable the situation was at that time, the coach was caught temporarily, the players were temporarily invited from several well-known teams, and they also needed to go abroad, with a slight jet lag, and ate Indian food that didn't suit their taste......"
"Look at you again, after selecting you, the country has given you the best conditions, found the most professional coach for you, and the competition is in the country, you can eat whatever you want...... If you don't win the championship, will you be worthy of the people of the whole country? ”
"Do you know how good your current environment is, the seniors have paved the way for you, and many people want to chase their dreams, but they don't have the opportunity, you have ......" Wang Mingyu said, actually crying.
Lu Zhi patted him on the shoulder, the team started from scratch, step by step, and the relationship between him and Wang Mingyu was also affected by some decisions that they didn't understand each other, and the close friends turned against each other for a while, but in the end they understood each other and accepted each other.
He understood that the reason for Wang Mingyu's crying was not worry, nor nervousness, but regret...... I regret that I gave up on the dream of my youth.
And they, with his dreams, and even with the dreams of countless fans, all those who love this game and love this country, step by step on this stage, they can't lose.
Now, they are sitting on the stage, with "China" printed on their chests and "CHINA" on their backs, with the pride and dreams of all the motherland's e-sports teenagers, to start the last battle of the Asian Games!
In fact, four years ago, esports was still not considered a competitive sport that was recognized by most people. Yesterday, Wang Mingyu also shared a story, at the Jakarta Asian Games, there were almost no spectators holding Chinese flags in the audience, and the e-sports powerhouse South Korean team came with a lot of supporters, and even the players' family groups, and the Chinese audience at the scene were basically the staff of the Chinese team and the media. On the day of the semi-finals, a staff member noticed that in the stands of another semi-final, South Korean spectators were holding national flags. He thought that the momentum on China's side could not be suppressed, so he went to the Chinese Youth League headquarters of the Youth League Committee of the Asian Games Village and borrowed a national flag. This national flag was carried behind him until the champion went to the podium to receive the medal.
"Time is running out for the Korean team......"
Back at the scene, the commentary suddenly came up with such a sentence, and then, immediately after, on the 3D screen, the hero selected by Jiang Jinghe jumped into the enemy's lair under the protection of the soldiers and the hero chosen by Yu Le, and broke the enemy's crystal in one fell swoop.
"Win! We won! A large group of spectators dressed in red stood up and waved their flags and shouted, the air conditioning in the building was completely useless, and even if the temperature dropped to no matter how low, they would be heated by them.
This is just the first game of the final. A reporter found Wang Mingyu eating ice cream in the audience and hurriedly surrounded him to interview him. Wang Mingyu said calmly: "The outcome has been decided, I hope they will finish the fight as soon as possible, and they will have time to eat copper pot shabu when they take a plane back to Beijing." ”
It seems that the person who hugged Lu Zhi and cried for half an hour yesterday was not him......
In the qualifiers, ALU and the Korean team were actually quite evenly matched, but the performance of ALU in the first game just now was too good, and the Korean team was obviously a little panicked, and they changed the spare players to come up.
When he saw them substitution, Lin Momo also discussed with Lu Zhi in private: "There is only one substitute player in them, we have a substitute team, do you want to talk to the leader and let ZGTX also come up and show his face?" ”
Yu Le heard her words and said with a smile: "Don't go, Sister Momo, other LPL champions don't look down on the Asian Games." ”
The two teams were selected before, and they were originally put together for training, but the young people of the two teams quarreled every day, and the fans scolded each other every day, and there was no stop, so the leaders trained the two teams separately.
At that time, the most ZGTX said to ALU was: "What is an Asian champion?" We are world champions! ”
And in the game stage just now, when Lin Momo cooled down, he secretly looked back at the position where they were sitting, and found that the five members of the ZGTX team were also like all the spectators, staring nervously at the 3D screen, when ALU had the upper hand, they were obviously relieved, and when the Korean team had the upper hand, they each tightened their brows, eager to rush up and grab the keyboard to play themselves.
So, it's all the same, no matter how much trouble you make in private, when you are external, you still have to stand on the same front.
This is the backbone, the glory of the nation, and the innate nature.
The Korean team was obviously panicked by substitutions, trying to ease the tension, but it obviously did not have this effect, and the second game took even less time than the first game to end, and ALU won the game in one attempt.
This time the break was relatively long, Ran Yu prepared snacks and drinks for everyone, and the ALU team members came down from the stage, wanting to go to Ran Yu to get food, but they were stopped by reporters halfway through...... Fortunately, Lu Zhi and Ye Sen spoke, and the other three people slipped down and went to Ran Yu's side.
"I've let out all my big words, don't let what I say become a flag, then I won't have the face to mix in the country in the future. You've got to win, we've won two games now, and we'll go home if we win one more. Wang Mingyu stood behind them and yelled at them.
Lin Momo took a piece of strawberry mousse and said to Le: "Lele, you eat strawberries, I'll eat the mousse below." ”
Yu Le took off the strawberry, put it in his mouth and bit it, saying, "It's a little sour." ”
Jiang Jinghe said: "Then do you eat my mango?" ”
Wang Mingyu saw that no one paid attention to him, so he had to enlarge his move: "...... If you win the championship, go back and get a salary increase of 20,000 yuan per person, and if you win the next game, you will go home with three wins, and each person will receive a salary increase of 30,000 yuan, plus a trip to Tahiti in the Pacific, and go to Tahiti to buy a black pearl the size of an egg for each of you——"
By this time, the three of them could no longer be silent: "Leader, don't worry! Black Pearl, we're going to decide! ”
The five of them walked back to the competition area again, and when they brought back their headphones, all the noise around them was cut off for a moment.
The loading interface is like the sky before a storm, seemingly calm but about to be surging.
The five summoned heroes are like lightning bolts piercing the dark clouds, with unparalleled domineering, bravely marching!
The screen cuts to the game, giving close-ups of the players' fingertips and faces, the fingers that jump on the keyboard are so fast that they can almost produce afterimages, and the solemn expressions on the faces of the young fighters also affect everyone watching the game. Just looking at them, you can feel the tension of the atmosphere, and the audience gradually quiets down, and it seems that even breathing is much lighter.
When the enemy crystal was blown up, the ALU seat was unexpectedly calm, and Lin Momo and the other teammates slowly took off their headphones and came together to talk.
"Win! Black Pearl didn't run away, see you in Tahiti, brothers. ”
"My heart was about to jump out just now, it was so exciting."
"I want to hurry back to Beijing to eat copper pot shabu-shabu, the summer in Hangzhou is too sultry, or Beijing is windy and cool."
"Can I bring my family with me to Tahiti? I want to bring my girlfriend Xia Li with me. ”
"Huh? You what? When did you spend time with Charlie? It's been hiding from us for so long! Jiang Jinghe, you're still not a good brother......, ahhh
“......”
The audience was also unusually calm, they couldn't hear what the people on the stage were saying, they were stunned for a few seconds before thunderous applause and cheers erupted, and the audience holding the Chinese flag all stood up and waved their flags and shouted.
"We won!"
"We are champions!"
Perhaps, when the predecessors first appeared on the Asian Games championship table four years ago, they did not enjoy so much applause and praise as they did, perhaps, four years ago, no one understood this group of teenagers who were so enthusiastic because of love, but they knew that from now on, they will be different.
Games are not the same as before, esports teenagers are different from before, and the entire industry is different from before.
They are also outstanding people who can win glory for their country! They are also pioneers who can carry the development of the industry!
The players of the Korean team took the initiative to come over and shake hands with them, and ZGTX in the audience also rushed up to hug them at the first moment, no matter how big the hatred was before, they can be temporarily put down at this moment.
Bless them, and bless all those who are on the path of pursuing their dreams.
