Chapter 174: Second Battle, Russian Silver Fox Team

The first week of competition ended quickly.

In Group A, China, Germany, Spain, Argentina, England and Russia won the game and got one point.

Group B consists of Japan, the United States, Tanzania, Italy, Norway, and Sweden, which won the first week.

After the last game day of the first week, the five players of China War Dragon and their coach analyzed the game video of their next opponent, the Russian Silver Foxes.

In the match that ended two hours ago, the Russian Silver Foxes won the team points race with a score of 8 to 7 against another strong team, the Austrian Red Bull team, which has the technical support of an F1 team.

In this game, the Russian Silver Foxes perfectly demonstrated what top-level teamwork is.

Although Paul Schubert, captain of the Austrian Red Bull team, took the lead at the beginning, he ran a little too fast at the start and his connection with his teammates was cut off by the five Omegas.

Throughout the game, the Russian Silver Fox team led by Yuri did not give the opponent any chance. They perfectly divided the front line into two parts. Paul Schubert wanted the first pick and gave it to him, but their rear was in a dilemma of 5 to 4.

Facing the tight blockade of the Silver Foxes, Paul, who had recovered, couldn't even turn back to support his teammates. The five Omegas were like an impenetrable entity.

Moreover, the Silver Fox team chose a most slave-dividing way to win in the last round.

When the vice-captain of the Austrian team, Alfred, another very capable driver, tried to make a last-ditch effort, the Silver Fox team put him in the encirclement of their own team, giving the fourth place to the opponent while steadily taking the second, third and fifth places, accumulating 8 points and winning the game with a one-point advantage in the opponent's home court.

"Their teamwork is a bit too scary," Chen Hewang said after watching the video of the game. "The five cars are like a precision instrument. In terms of team formation, we can't compare with them at all."

"What's even more troublesome is that the next game is at their home stadium, on an indoor ice field, and the match is a scramble for fourth place."

"The fourth competition?" After hearing this competition system, everyone present frowned. If it was a 5-on-5 team points competition, they would have a great chance of breaking through with their personal abilities. After all, except for their captain Yuri, the personal abilities of the rest of the Russian team members were pretty average.

But the battle for the fourth place is different. The opponent can even put your first three cars in front. No matter how fast the first three cars are, as long as the opponent's fourth car crosses the finish line before our fourth car, the opponent will win the race.

"It's so annoying! Why is there such a competition system?" Huo Yuesheng complained.

"In fact, the most troublesome thing is not just the outcome of this game," Chen Xiaohu analyzed, "Once our lack of coordination is exposed, the opponent will basically choose this format of competition when we meet at home next time."

"Anyway, with our current teamwork, we can forget about going head-on with them." Gao Xiaoman is very self-aware. Other people's teamwork is 1+1>2, and now the five members of the Huaxia War Dragon Team are just pulling each other down. "Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Che studied the Russian team's home track and thought to himself, "One lap is 3 kilometers. I have to run 5 laps. I also have to consider the problem of water accumulation caused by the melting of the ice track under the sunlight..."

"What's the matter? Do you have any idea?" Huo Yuesheng, who was sitting next to Lin Che, touched Lin Che's shoulder and asked.

"There aren't many solutions. First of all, we have to prepare anti-skid chains. Then we have to avoid being isolated by them like the Austrian team was today. In this way, even if we want to break through, we can only fight on our own. So, we will follow them in the first four laps, and in the last lap, we will find a way to make the scene chaotic. Only by making them chaotic will we have a chance." Lin Che said.

After Lin Che finished speaking, Gao Xiaoman, Chen Xiaohu, and Chen Hewang all looked at Huo Yuesheng.

"Why are you looking at me?" Huo Yuesheng was a little puzzled.

Huo Yuesheng himself did not realize that he was the catfish that was most suitable for muddying the water. Although a mangzi might not be able to break through the tight blockade, he could definitely cause chaos for the other side.

"He Wang, you just need to take care of Yue Sheng in the first four laps. I will run with Xiao Man and Xiao Hu." Lin Che arranged the tactics. "Let's practice in groups in the next few days. Even if we have to wait until the last lap to compete, we have to keep up with the other team's pace in the first four laps."

Since the stability of the Lightspeed War Dragon is entrusted to the aerodynamic chassis, the body shape is an extreme super-high-speed express car with an ultra-low wind resistance design that is almost horizontal from front to back. Therefore, when cooperating with the Sword Shark King, it will not be disturbed by too much spiral airflow. With the assistance of the Thunder Tiger, although the cooperation of the three cars cannot be almost completely integrated like the Silver Fox team's Omega, there will be no situation of pulling each other back, and it can also save electricity as much as possible in the first half of the game.

"Then what should I do?" Huo Yuesheng didn't quite understand what Lin Che meant.

"On the day of the race, in the first four laps, let the Phantom Blood Bat follow the Yin-Yang Scorpion to conserve power. In the last lap, you can run however you want." Lin Che said.

In fact, Huo Yuesheng’s running style is not much different from Xiao Hao’s. Both are inspired players. Instead of formulating a detailed battle plan for him, it is better to let him play freely.

While the Chinese team was discussing the battle plan, the Neon Victory Team felt a lot more relaxed.

"Vietnam team, there's nothing to prepare for." Looking at the opponent of the next game, the Vietnamese team at home, Xiao Hao waved his hand nonchalantly, "Ahai and his team won the opponent easily, we can definitely do it too."

"Yeah, yeah, there's nothing to pay attention to about this team. In the previous captains' exhibition match, I remember the captain of their team seemed to be ranked last. On the contrary, our opponent in next week's cross-group confrontation week is the Spanish team with Kurosawa and Ayuan. They are the opponents that deserve more attention." Fujiyoshi also said that he is already studying next week's opponents.

Ying Yulong didn't say anything, but his face didn't show much concern for the next opponent.

Xiao Lie and J looked at the three people helplessly. Xiao Lie had just become the captain of this team, and he was still trying to figure out how to lead this team that was almost entirely made up of problem children. J, the only reliable member of the four team members, had a weak temper and could not provide greater help to Xiao Lie in his leadership.

After a day of rest, the second week of competition began. On the first day of the second week, the German Iron Wolves once again showed their strong dominance, defeating the Spanish team 13-2 at home. The only two points for the Spanish team came from the fourth place that Kondo Gen, who was in a frenzy, managed to grab with the help of their captain Casillas and Kurosawa. Apart from that, the Spanish team was suppressed by the German team for the entire game.

In another group, Portugal beat Saudi Arabia at home, which slightly made up for the slump in the previous game where no one finished the game.

The next day, the South Korean team in Group A lost to Argentina at home, suffering two consecutive defeats, while the American team in Group B defeated Brazil at their home court. Brazil's fancy running style did not play any role when facing the overwhelming performance of the American team.

On the third day, the China War Dragons will also go to the home court of the Russian Silver Foxes to face their second game.

The home stadium of the Russian team is the same as that of the American team. It is a venue built by themselves. The biggest feature of this venue is that the track is made entirely of ice. And because the venue is not completely enclosed, some sections will be exposed to the sun during the game and the ice will melt. Even a supercar will encounter great trouble if it does not run on such a venue frequently.

Before the game started, everyone on the Huaxia War Dragon Team checked the metal anti-skid chains on their cars. This part was specially customized by Lin Che from the Three Kingdoms Group. It is made of the Three Kingdoms Group's wear-resistant aluminum alloy. While ensuring the anti-skid effect, the weight is also kept to a minimum.

Tiexin Laodeng shamelessly moved the competition to Neon, and the happiest people must be the Fujiyoshi family.

When most teams are customizing some special accessories, the Three Kingdoms Group, the largest manufacturer in Neon, is undoubtedly the first choice, not to mention the orders for the construction and renovation of venues received by Three Kingdoms Construction, a subsidiary of the Three Kingdoms Group.

The Three Nations Group can be said to have made a lot of money in this World Cup.

"Welcome to the WGP World Mini Car World Cup. I am Han Qiao, the commentator of this game." The live broadcast of CCTV5 began, and Han Qiao spoke first in the studio.

"I'm Zhang Weiping, and the two of us will be providing live commentary for you on this match," said Coach Zhang.

"After the Chinese Dragons won their opening match last week, they faced their second opponent this week, the Russian Silver Foxes."

"The Russian team has always been a strong and established team in Europe in the field of miniature racing. In European competitions, they have always been famous for their outstanding teamwork. This is a severe test for our Huaxia War Dragon team," said Coach Zhang.

"Okay, we can see the race has begun." After the countdown for the race ended, everyone's cars set off together, and Han Qiao also said.

"We can see that the Russian Silver Fox team took the lead at the beginning of the race, and soon formed a group formation with one car leading the way and the remaining four cars following two by two behind the lead car, firmly controlling the track. As for the group formation of our Chinese War Dragon team, what can we say..." Han Qiao looked at the five cars of the Chinese War Dragon team that fell behind at the beginning of the race and was hesitant to speak.

"Why does our team formation look a little strange?" Coach Zhang took over Han Qiao's words, "On both sides of the track, the Tiger and Yin Yang Scorpion are leading the team respectively. The formation is divided into two parts. The Sword Shark King and Light Speed ​​War Dragon are following behind the Tiger, and on the other side is the Yin Yang Scorpion with the Phantom Blood Bat. The two sides are clearly divided. Is there a special tactical arrangement?"

"Sure enough, because the five cars are all different, it's impossible to form an effective five-person teamwork." Yuri, who was at the front of the track, looked back at the situation here and showed an expression that said, "As expected."

After the first game, it was not difficult for some more careful teams to analyze the aerodynamic structure of each car of the Huaxia War Dragon Team. They could also easily see that the aerodynamic structures of some of the five cars were in conflict and could not cooperate with each other. Therefore, the 3+2 formation chosen by the War Dragon Team did not surprise Yuri.

“You gave up the lead at the beginning of the race, are you planning to overtake us at the end?” Yuri saw the Huaxia War Dragon Team’s running style that was designed to conserve their strength and analyzed Lin Che’s thoughts. “However, even if you want to conserve your strength, you have to keep up with us in the front section. The 3+2 formation consumes much more power than our five-member group formation.”

"Sergei, speed up. Anton, get ready to replace Sergei in the second lap." Yuri made arrangements in an orderly manner.

"Yes, Captain." The two people mentioned responded, and then the five Omegas of the Russian team began to gradually increase their speed.

"Captain, they are speeding up. Should we keep up?" Chen Xiaohu asked.

Lin Che glanced at the dynamic data of the five cars on the glasses in front of him and nodded, "Speed ​​up and catch up with them, but pay attention to the rhythm of acceleration, don't follow their pace."

"Understood!" Chen Hewang and Chen Xiaohu, who were in charge of the team, nodded.

"We can see that the Russian team and the Chinese team started to speed up at the same time, but in terms of the degree of speed increase, the five cars of the Chinese team seem to be inferior to the other team, and the gap between them and the other team is slowly widening." Coach Zhang looked a little anxious, "The tactical arrangement of the Chinese War Dragon Team today is a little unreasonable."

Faced with the situation where the opponent was slowly pulling away from them, Lin Che was very calm: "Xiaoyin, estimate the power consumption of each car when we reach the straight track in the middle of the second lap."

AI quickly calculated the data that Lin Che needed at the moment.

"Xiaoyin, estimate the remaining power when we maintain the current formation to the starting point of the last lap from this point and when we have the Tiger of Thunder and the Yin-Yang Scorpion assist the Phantom Blood Bat, the Speed ​​Dragon and the Sword Shark King as a team to reach the starting point of the last lap from this point."

The AI ​​calculated and came up with the data. Lin Che took a look and said to Chen Xiaohu, "When we reach the marked location in the second lap, you go over there with He Wang to assist Huo Yuesheng. We have to ensure that by the last lap, the Phantom Blood Bats have enough reserve energy to create chaos."

"Then what about you and Sister Xiaoman?" asked Chen Xiaohu.

"We two will be fine. We'll follow the captain's arrangements," said Gao Xiaoman.
