Hu Die Lan
Chapter 986 Gun Kata
Wei Chen’s question immediately caused a chorus of coughs from the Xingxin side. Everyone used this method to look left and right, refusing to answer the question. But it must be said that the great god was still the best. Ye Xiu’s expression remained unchanged, and he calmly replied, “Nice font.”
“Hahaha, that’s what I’m talking about,” Wei Chen laughed loudly, and the coughing resumed.
After the individual competition, Team Xingxin won all three matches, taking all three points. In the following team arena and team competition, there would be no scattered points like in the individual competition. Even Xuanqi had to win at least one round in these two rounds. As for Xingxin, after taking all three points in the individual competition, they could actually relax a bit in the team arena. The team competition would be decisive for them.
However, for Xingxin, who had to get more than 8 points to qualify, they had known for a long time that the team competition was not allowed to be lost, so there would be no change in their mentality at this time. Winning three points in a row in the individual competition made their morale soar. On the Xuanqi side, after suffering consecutive losses in the first two individual matches, the third match ushered in some turning points. As the saying goes, when things reach their extreme, they will turn in the opposite direction. After being forced to win by Wei Chen in the third match in this way, everyone in Xuanqi was also furious. With the encouragement of the experienced Zhang Yiwei, their morale was finally reignited. It was just a pity for the young player in the third match. He was undoubtedly a sacrifice in Zhang Yiwei’s morale battle. At this moment, Zhang Yiwei simply couldn’t bother to appease this player’s emotions.
After a long break between the individual competition and the team arena competition, both sides made preparations and re-entered the arena, and the gunpowder of the competition became more intense.
“Okay, Xuanqi versus Xingxin, the team arena of the second round is about to begin.” During the intermission, the TV broadcast naturally had to insert some commercials. At this time, the team arena competition was about to begin, and the broadcast decisively switched back, and the commentator also regained his spirits and began to work. In the previous third match between the two sides, the commentator hardly said a word in the end, which would be regarded as a broadcast accident under normal circumstances. But this time, unprecedentedly, the broadcaster did not express any opinion on the commentator’s silence during the program broadcast. It seemed that Wei Chen’s super-shameless performance stunned everyone. The commentator’s reaction was even regarded as reasonable and forgivable.
“The players from both sides of the team arena competition have begun to enter the arena. The first player to appear for Team Xingxin is Bao Rongxing. This player is a typical newcomer who often makes some very low-level mistakes. I don’t know what kind of performance he will bring to everyone in today’s very crucial contest. On the Xuanqi team, the first player to appear is Tang Xing. This arrangement is a bit unexpected! As the captain of the Xuanqi team, Tang Xing can be said to be the best player in the current Xuanqi team. According to convention, this type of player should be in the third position in the team arena lineup. Xuanqi’s arrangement is unknown for what consideration? We all know that the Xuanqi team has a dedicated coach to arrange and guide in this area. Each lineup should have its own deep meaning. What is the intention, then we can only see the truth in the game, okay, the game has officially begun now.”
The commentator, who was directly silent in the previous game, seemed to have passed the words to this game, and he was talking non-stop from the beginning.
“Both characters are moving forward, and neither has taken a position, are they preparing to directly start the competition?”
“Oh, Tang Xing has changed his route and started to detour. It seems that he is preparing to give his opponent a surprise.”
“Okay, Tang Xing has successfully bypassed the opponent’s flank, Bao Rongxing has not noticed it yet.”
“Tang Xing is further approaching, this distance, he can already launch an attack, right! But Bao Rongxing doesn’t seem to realize anything, he is still moving forward, this is really a bit wrong, how should he realize that the opponent has adopted a tactical position if he hasn’t encountered the opponent at this time?”
“Tang Xing is now following on the flank of Steamed Bun Invasion, he has not launched an attack… Uh, at this time, I guess many viewers will think of the second solo match like me, right? Is Tang Xing preparing to use this method to return the favor?”
“Oh, he didn’t! Tang Xing attacked, he took the lead in launching the offensive.” With the commentator’s shout, the two sides engaged in their first confrontation.
Tang Xing’s character profession is Sharpshooter, which was the profession used by Xuanqi coach Zhang Yiwei back then. Zhang Yiwei has some special hopes and expectations for this captain. Under his guidance, Tang Xing’s style has also somewhat appeared as a shadow of his own.
Gun-fu!
This was Zhang Yiwei’s best style back then. After coaching Xuanqi, he passed on everything to Tang Xing. At this time, it can be regarded as one of the few highlights among the players of this weak team.
The Gun-fu style of play does not mean that the Sharpshooter has to go up close and engage in melee combat, but it will never pull away too far. The key to this style of play lies in the four words “advance and retreat freely”. The specific distance at which this can be achieved depends on each person’s mastery and operating level.
Tang Xing’s Gun-fu can maintain a distance of about five character spaces to advance and retreat freely. This is considered a relatively common level among Sharpshooter players who are proficient in this style of play. The Gun-fu level of three character spaces from top Sharpshooter players like Zhou Zekai is still a big gap.
One character space is one step that the character takes normally without any operation, so Gun-fu is usually simply divided by x steps. The number of steps that Gun-fu is most powerful still depends on the operator’s use. But at least a player who can use three-step Gun-fu can easily master the five-step technique. But a player who can only reach five-step Gun-fu will find it more difficult to reach three-step Gun-fu. Each step forward requires the player to have a faster reaction and operation.
Tang Xing is just a player with limited talent. After accepting Zhang Yiwei’s guidance, he simply specialized in Gun-fu, but unfortunately he could not go any further after reaching five steps, which made Zhang Yiwei helpless. Back then, his Gun-fu only reached four steps, and he couldn’t even take half a step further. He knew the helplessness of this talent limitation, so he didn’t force Tang Xing to break through, but only let him continue to strengthen the use skills of five-step Gun-fu.
Five-step Gun-fu is enough to deal with Bao Rongxing, a newcomer.
Seeing Tang Xing’s Sharpshooter rushing up, quickly entering the five-step distance, and starting a skilled and smooth Gun-fu attack, Zhang Yiwei nodded in satisfaction.
Bao, who was suddenly attacked, looked a little flustered. It seemed that he had no idea of resisting at all. Steamed Bun Invasion staggered and ran wildly only in the face of Tang Xing’s Sharpshooter’s offensive.
Zhang Yiwei laughed heartily. In his opinion, this was just a reaction from a newcomer. When caught off guard, he was completely unable to think rationally about how to deal with it, and had no experience to make subconscious judgments. All he could think of was running.
“I really don’t understand why you would use such a player again and again,” Zhang Yiwei said, looking at Ye Xiu.
“What’s the problem?” Ye Xiu asked.
“What’s the problem, do I need to say it?” Zhang Yiwei looked at the embarrassment of Steamed Bun Invasion in the game.
“I think you’re the one with the problem, right? Isn’t running away the right way to deal with Gun-fu?” Ye Xiu said.
The smile suddenly froze on Zhang Yiwei’s face.
Ye Xiu said it in a simple way, but he understood the meaning of Ye Xiu’s words. Running away all the time, in professional terms, refers to constantly moving and changing the distance between the two sides.
The key to the Gun-fu style of play lies in this distance. If the distance is actively controlled by Tang Xing, then the characteristics of Gun-fu’s free advance and retreat will be discovered thoroughly, but once it is somewhat passive in this regard, then the rhythm of Gun-fu is likely to be disrupted, which may give the opponent a chance to counterattack.
Steamed Bun Invasion ran staggeringly and embarrassed under the pursuit of Tang Xing’s Sharpshooter. In addition, he was an obvious newcomer, so Zhang Yiwei simply didn’t think about this as a tactical response. At this time, listening to Ye Xiu’s words, and taking a closer look, Steamed Bun Invasion ran embarrassingly, but also successfully avoided Tang Xing’s attacks again and again. Tang Xing’s control of the distance of Gun-fu was being unable to be actively controlled by him because of constantly chasing the opponent.
Is this a deliberate tactical movement? Zhang Yiwei looked left and right, but he didn’t think so. If he was conscious, why would he make it so ugly? But then again, this embarrassment is also likely to be a means to paralyze Tang Xing. It can be seen from the solo match that Xingxin’s players do not care about the scene at all. They don’t seem to have any intention of pleasing the audience, but use every means to win.
For the players in such a team, deliberately making themselves embarrassed and ugly to paralyze their opponents is simply a matter of course!
Tang Xing, don’t be fooled! Look carefully!!
Zhang Yiwei began to worry. He arranged Tang Xing in the first position in order to establish a psychological advantage. Because he expected that on Xingxin’s side, the one defending the arena must be the great god Ye Qiu. In this way, if the front kills each other in a two-lose-two-win, and finally decides the outcome of the team arena competition with the great god Ye Qiu, even if they put Tang Xing, the most outstanding player in Xuanqi, he would probably not have any psychological advantage in front of Ye Qiu.
In this way, it’s better to let the outstanding Tang Xing go first and defeat as many Xingxin players as possible. In this way, maybe there will be two people left to fight against Ye Qiu. Two against one, wouldn’t the psychological advantage be established?
As a result, now, seeing that Tang Xing might fall into the trap, how could he not be anxious?
"Terrible!"
What he feared came true. He was roaring in his heart for Tang Xing to pay attention quickly, but Tang Xing’s Gun-fu rhythm showed flaws at this time due to continuous passiveness. Zhang Yiwei, who was also proficient in this way, could see it at a glance.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a brick whistling towards him.
