Chapter 87: Rehearsal at the Warriors' Home Arena!
Topsports training room.
After Lin Jin reached number one on the North American server, he switched to a smurf account and continued queuing until 3 a.m. before logging off to rest.
With only one day left until the final, he was more or less nervous.
As a result, I didn't sleep well today, and my mind was a bit foggy when I woke up at noon.
After lunch, the team leader told everyone that they would be going to the venue at 3 p.m. today to participate in the rehearsal and test the equipment, so they had to leave early.
There's no training plan today, so feel free to experiment.
It's like not assigning homework when the college entrance exam is approaching.
As for going to the finals, the teammates were all very excited.
Because this game is being played at the Warriors' home court.
With Curry on the roster, the Warriors have a huge fan base all over the world.
Many LPL players are also fans of the Warriors.
Lin Jin even received many fans on Weibo every day, hoping that he could go to the Warriors' home court for the finals and ask for an autograph or something.
Of course, they won't encounter any Warriors players on this trip.
The entire venue has been transformed into a space filled with an e-sports atmosphere.
A huge stage was set up in the center, with four large electronic screens playing highlights of the World Championship in turn.
Lin Jin looked around the Chase Center, which could accommodate more than 18,000 seats.
However, as a League of Legends competition, it wouldn't absorb so many people, and it would be difficult to manage them.
Lin Jin also noticed seven champion flags hanging high in the sky on the left.
This represents the Warriors' seven championships in the NBA, including its predecessor, the BBA.
No wonder they're a wealthy family.
Lin Jin sighed.
However, before he could continue his tour, he was called by staff to attend a rehearsal.
The opening performance and dance were fantastic and very energetic.
Next, the two teams took the stage one after the other, and they also had to greet the audience on both sides enthusiastically.
At least the facial expression should be acceptable.
Lin Jin managed his facial expressions very well during these rehearsals, which earned him more screen time.
They also filmed a scene of the two teams lifting the trophy together.
These are pre-recorded; they'll be released once someone wins.
Lin Jin and his teammates arrived at the championship trophy.
My first impression of it was: gorgeous!
The trophy was larger and much more ornate and substantial than I had imagined.
Lin Jin smiled and asked, "Is this bigger than the trophy you won when you won the championship before?"
Jack Lay laughed: "Haha, much bigger."
Gao Tianliang: "It's bigger than mine. This year's championship trophy is really great."
Left Hand said, "Okay, but I feel like I can't lift it up by myself."
Mark: "Come on, let's raise a glass together."
The photographer zoomed in, and the director said "Cheers!" into his earpiece.
The group lifted it up together, looking very excited.
After the rehearsal, everyone felt a little unsatisfied.
I glanced back at the enormous trophy and thought to myself, I must win the championship tomorrow!
…………
Back at the base, Guo Hao smiled and said:
"How are you? How are you feeling?"
Mark rubbed his hands together: "I really want to win!"
Gao Tianliang: "Then let's take it!"
Jack, the hot dancer, was also eager to get started: "Anyway, I'm all ready!"
Everyone just laughed.
The team leader came over first and explained the precautions for tomorrow.
The match will begin tomorrow at 4 p.m. local time.
They need to arrive at the venue before 1 a.m., and there are some procedures to go through, such as makeup.
"I need to get some rest early tonight and not play ranked games too late."
"To be honest, you've done all the training you needed to do, right? Just relax and get some rest tonight."
"Get up early tomorrow, then have breakfast. Remember, eat what you usually eat tomorrow, don't change it."
"I don't want you guys to get diarrhea or anything on the day of the competition."
Gao Tianliang laughed and said, "Why does it feel like the college entrance exam?"
Guo Hao said, "Hey? You're right, it's just like the college entrance exam, we're going to the battlefield tomorrow."
The team leader waved his hand: "Alright, don't put too much pressure on them."
"It's all the same, relax."
"Check your things after you get up tomorrow. All the peripherals were handed in today, and we need to check them again tomorrow."
Finally, I wish everyone the best of luck tomorrow!
After the team leader finished speaking, everyone applauded.
Next, Guo Hao emphasized a few points, but didn't say anything else, handing the stage over to the coaching team.
Coach Fang said:
"I'll play some ranked matches today to familiarize myself with these heroes."
"Kindred, Azir, Akali, Caitlyn, and Bard."
"We'll definitely be scrambling for it tomorrow. I know everyone's been practicing a lot lately, and you're probably getting tired of it by now."
"But hang in there a little longer, it'll be over soon."
"You must believe that the results will be exactly what you train for!"
Everyone nodded.
After saying that, he spent the rest of the time training on his own.
The coaching staff gathered together to continue discussing the draft picks.
The backpropagation simulation needs to be run many times to be as comprehensive as possible.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin and his friends quietly played ranked matches while chatting about tomorrow's finals.
Mark suddenly asked, "Guys, are you nervous?"
The left hand said bluntly, "A little, are you nervous?"
Mark: "My palms are sweating right now, how can I not be nervous?"
Compared to his teammates who have extensive experience in major tournaments, Mark has only participated in one World Championship, and he was eliminated in the round of 16.
This year's world championship, they made it all the way to the finals.
Moreover, many netizens believe that Mark is Top Esports' weakest link.
Old Ma wasn't strong enough to make it to the finals, but he stayed on because of his success in the "Northern Expedition" this spring.
In fact, the player Top Esports should replace most is their support player.
Mark was indeed very nervous, worried about tomorrow's game and afraid that he wouldn't perform well.
Jack Spicy Dance laughed and said, "Old Ma, are you alright? You've already participated in the World Championship once, haven't you?"
"Look at Huozi, this is his first time participating in the world championships, ask him if he's nervous."
Mark's expression immediately became very varied:
"Me? How could I compare to Brother Huozi? Haha."
"Brother Huo is a genius, he's incredibly talented."
While operating the device, Lin Jin said, "I heard someone is badmouthing me."
Mark: "I'm definitely a white piece!"
Gao Tianliang also laughed and said, "Actually, we were all a little nervous, but it's all okay, brothers. Don't lose sleep tonight!"
Left hand: "Not being able to sleep is a bit of an exaggeration; I can definitely sleep."
Jack's Hot Dance: "I suggest you don't think about anything tonight, just clear your mind. If you really can't, go to the gym and run five kilometers. You'll feel sleepy when you get back."
Lin Jin: "Old Ma is awesome, he can run five kilometers!"
Jack Spicy Dance: "He struggles to run even one kilometer."
Mark: "Are you trying to kill me?"
"Ha ha……"
A joyful atmosphere filled the training room.
