As a Captain, You Must Be Cold

After playing the Tokyo Sakura team, everyone in R.H only rested for one night, and then devoted themselves to intense training and preparations again the next day. Yu Zhaohan didn't even have time to review his and Shi Du's latest behavior.

But in this short night, Cheese broke his stomach from eating English BBQ; Jiang Di was accosted by several European girls and brothers in the swimming pool relying on his tendon; Shi Du had no choice but to trouble Lu Youshan to buy medicine, but Lu Youshan did go.

Therefore, Shi Du's impression of Coach Lu changed a lot, and he made up his mind to respect the coach as much as possible in the future, and avoid saying a few words to him.

Fortunately, these are trivial matters and will not affect their training.

The next game will be their first match against a Western Conference team this season, and they will still be playing against Lawman. If they say there is no pressure, they are definitely pretending.

In order to adapt to the fast pace of the western division as soon as possible and to strive for their individual strength, Lu Youshan arranged for them to play against the strong western teams in the training games. Especially New York PPZ, which ranks second in the West, R.H has to play two games with them almost every day.

PPZ is about to face Little Demon King DSD, and they also need to adapt to the eastern division's partial operation and teamwork style of play, and they just hit it off with R.H.

R.H played scrims with PPZ and won seven out of ten games. However, PPZ is also a team that was zero blocked by Lawman in the regular season. Winning them does not mean that the operating system must be better than the fast-paced firefighting style of play.

In the next few games, PPZ narrowly defeated DSD 4:3, and DSD fell into the lower bracket; IPL eliminated a team from Canada and remained in the lower bracket; Eau lost to the Tokyo Sakura team, ending the season early journey.

So far, among the four domestic teams, one has been eliminated, two have fallen into the loser's bracket, and only R.H remains in the winner's bracket. Many domestic fans have already begun to feel anxious.

On the day Eau returned to China, several brother teams took some time to send them off.

Eau's manager is quite open: "At least we stayed in Europe for two weeks and won a game. This is already creating team history."

Eau's captain smiled wryly: "The Sakura team is still awesome, and we are unlucky enough to beat them in the second game, otherwise we might be able to go further."

Bigan joked: "Then you are blaming R.H? They sent the Sakura team to the loser's bracket."

Captain Eau hurriedly said: "I didn't think so!" He looked at Yu Zhaohan, afraid that he would be disgusted by the highly respected Team Yu, "Team Yu, trust me!"

Yu Zhaohan nodded: "Yes."

DSD's spear Archer suddenly said: "That's what I think, rather than being eliminated by foreign teams, I would rather die by your hands."

The boys of the IPL and DSD were all quiet.

The next match in the lower bracket is IPLVSDSD. No matter who wins or loses, one of the two teams will be eliminated, and there will only be two teams left in the top four in the country.

In the silence, Shi Du laughed out loud: "That's not enough, brothers, who hasn't personally eliminated a brother team these years. When did you become so hypocritical? There is no need, I have goosebumps It fell all over the place."

Shi Du's sarcasm made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

Cheese proudly said: "Our younger brother's mouth has always been one of the best in the league—oh, I can't do it, I have to go to the toilet, Xiao Jiang will remember to send me paper later! Next time I will help you!"

Jiang Di: "..."

Lu Youshan looked at Cheese, who was covering his belly in pain, and frowned: "Is this a conspiracy by the London Empire team to use British cuisine to launch off-court attacks on players from other countries and cause harm?" The more Lu Youshan thought about it, the more anxious he became, "I What did you say at the beginning? The home court of the playoffs cannot be in Europe!"

Bi An asked Yu Zhaohan, "Is Cheese okay?"

Yu Zhaohan said: "Hope."

"What about Clown?" Bian asked again, "How is he recovering, can he catch up with Lawman?"

Although the matter of Qi Xian's surgery has not been announced to the public, the insiders of the alliance know more or less.

Yu Zhaohan said, "It's hard to say."

Having just finished playing against Lawman in the IPL, Bi'an has a clear understanding of the strength of the North American Big Devil. "Team Yu, with all due respect, if Clown can't play, it will be difficult for R.H to beat Lawman."

Gazed by Yu Zhao's cold eyes, Bi'an quickly added: "Of course, with you and Timeless around, Lawman will have a lot of difficulty in taking down R.H."

Shi Du turned to Xu and said, "Take your captain away quickly, he's started talking nonsense."

Both Yu Zhaohan and Shi Du knew that what Bi An said was not completely nonsense. If Qi Xian can play, their chances of winning against Lawman will definitely be greater. However, they have already asked Qi Xian's attending doctor, and the doctor said that Qi Xian's current state is not suitable for long-term, high-intensity competitions.

The BO7 format of the playoffs is also a big challenge to the physical fitness of the players. Forcing Qi Xian to play is irresponsible to him personally and to the team.

As the match against Lawman approached, a string was tightened in everyone's heart in R.H. On the surface, Yu Zhaohan was fine, he was still the stable and reliable captain, but when he got back to his room at night, he already had to eat supper and watch his boyfriend play ball to decompress.

It didn't take long for Yu Zhaohan to relax watching Shidu play ball. He stood firm and didn't wear dinosaur pajamas. This was his ultimate tactic, and he didn't want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Before the game, the league officials asked R.H to send someone to record the pre-match trash talk. The recording location is quite far from the hotel, and you have to take a car there early in the morning, and the internet-addicted teenagers who sleep until noon every day stay away from each other.

Lao Tan wanted Jiang Di to go, but Jiang Di said that he would not talk trash. Old Tan said: "It's okay, just sit there and say something casually, and use the rest of the time to stimulate your muscles."

Jiang Di said: "You can let Timeless go, he is very good at talking."

Old Tan waved his hand: "Impossible, Timeless can't get up."

Jiang Di unexpectedly insisted: "If you can't get up, you should practice."

Shi Du said, "Okay, I'll go."

Lao Tan had a look of hell, while Jiang Di showed relief.

Old Tan asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"I like to talk trash too much," Shi Du half-truthfully said, "And I just have something to go out for, I can get up early to solve two things, so why do I have to get up twice."

Old Tan wondered: "What can Timeless do in Europe?"

It was rare for Shi Du to get up early, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, so he forced himself to use a pot to cook a bowl of dried noodles for Yu Zhaohan.

Yu Zhaohan asked, "Who did Lawman send to talk trash?"

Shi Du's eyes were sleepy: "I don't know. Yuyu, I'm so sleepy..."

"Anyway, no matter who it is, I can't beat you." Yu Zhaohan held the noodles in one hand and sent his boyfriend out with chopsticks in the other, "Go, I'll wait for you to come back."

It took most of the day for Shi Du to go, and when he returned to the hotel, he barely caught up with the training match in the afternoon. The training match was still PPZ. Today, all PPZ members feel hot, and their weaknesses and shortcomings have been improved. Finally, they won the training match 4:2.

After the training match, everyone felt a little heavy. Shi Shi's old problem of lack of self-confidence recurred, and Sangsang said, "If Brother Xian is here, he will definitely not lose."

Jiang Di said: "I'm too greedy for harm, I don't have milk to get double C, it's my fault."

Shi Du also said bluntly: "I'm pretty good today, I didn't wake up, sorry."

Old Tan asked: "Is it because you are too sleepy when you get up early?"

"No," Shi Du said, "food is food, so there's no point in making excuses."

"It's just a training match, it doesn't explain anything." Yu Zhaohan said calmly, "Get ready for the resumption."

After the review was over, everyone went into groups of two and went back to their rooms. Yu Zhaohan was silent all the way, and got into Shi Du's arms as soon as he got back to his room.

"Shi Du, I'm just as good as you today—no, I'm even better than you." Yu Zhaohan said in a sullen voice, "Even if I don't have the resources of the nanny, I shouldn't only deal that little damage. There is also the last wave In the battle, I found the position of the PPZ nurse, but I only hit his body... If I shot him in the head, we would not lose."

Obviously, Yu Zhaohan's pressure has almost exceeded Yuyu's load.

Shi Du picked up Yu Zhaohan, walked to the side of the bed and sat down, and put the distraught beauty on his lap: "It's just a training match, it doesn't mean anything."

Yu Zhaohan complained: "Isn't this the original words I used to comfort everyone? You copied me."

Shi Du smiled and said, "You also know that this is what you said. We have played so many training matches with PPZ, and this time they only won four games. We have won seven games against them."

"But Lawman is stronger than PPZ." Yu Zhaohan asked anxiously: "Shi Du, what do you think is the difference between the strength of Lawman and PPZ?"

"I don't know." Shi Du said, "But I know you are too nervous now, you need to relax and divert your attention."

Yu Zhaohan asked: "Are you going to play ball?"

"...you can't think of anything other than playing ball?" Shi Du took out an envelope from his pocket and held it between his fingers, "Look at this."

Yu Zhaohan looked at the string of English on the envelope: "This is...?"

"The university my family applied for me is indeed in the UK." Shi Du said, "I found an overseas study agency on the Internet and took me for a trip. I have to go through the formalities myself, and the agency of my parents is a big deal. .”

Yu Zhaohan opened the envelope, he learned English very well, and he could understand the contents at a glance.

Yu Zhaohan opened his eyes wide: "Are you going to drop out of school?"

Shi Du smiled: "So surprised? I told you not to have a long-distance relationship, you just pretend to be me."

Yu Zhaohan said in a daze, "But your parents..."

"Then you don't have to worry about it."

Yu Zhaohan read Shi Du's application for dropping out of school repeatedly, but was still not sure: "After that, can I stick to you all the time?"

Shi Du grabbed Yu Zhaohan's hand and put it on his shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't let you get stuck."

As the captain, Shine will respect each team member's decision. So even if Timeless wants to retire early, he won't obstruct too much.

As a Pisces, he will also respect his boyfriend's decision. As long as they are healthy, not sick, and still like each other, it doesn't matter if they are in a long-distance relationship.

But both Shine and Yuyu just accept and face the reality, they don't want to.

Yu Zhaohan's eyes turned hot, and he asked, "How long will you fight?"

Shi Du said: "Play until you can't play, until the old eyes are dizzy and unresponsive, no matter how hard you try, you can't take your teammates away - until the day when you can't hear the audience shouting 'Timeless' and 'Shine' on the field." The boy lightly Laughed, "I'm sorry, I can't change my bad habit of being strong in this life, I can't stand myself being better than others."

Yu Zhaohan was moved expressionlessly: "Shi Du, I'm so touched, let's have a kiss."

Shi Du squeezed Yu Zhaohan's cheek with one hand: "Come on."

In the middle of the kiss, Yu Zhaohan suddenly remembered something.

"But why did you drop out of school and not suspend school?" Yu Zhaohan worried, "When we retire, you still have to go to school. You can't just have a high school degree."

"Then just apply to other universities at that time. Even if you go to school, I will be with you." Shi Du smiled brightly and handsomely, "Okay? Senior Yu."

Yu Zhaohan thought for a moment, and pointed out sharply: "But Shi Du, you are a scumbag, how can you go to the same university as me in the future?"

Time Du: "..."
