The Huaguo team arrived in San Francisco at 6 p.m. on November 30.
This time, Jiang Shaoyu asked everyone to come to the city of the competition three days in advance. There is a time difference between the United States and China, so they just took advantage of these few days to adjust their schedule and adapt to the environment. Otherwise, the biological clock will not be adjusted, and they may feel sleepy during the competition, which will affect the state of the players.
With the experience of being mistaken by the organizers of the Asian Championships, this time, Yu Mingxiang personally reserved the bus to pick them up from the plane.
Everyone came to the hotel by car, and when they checked in in the lobby, they saw a group of people just entering through the gate. They were dressed in neat team uniforms with the Korean flag printed on them. The leader was a very gentle-looking young man.
Anna said softly, "Coach Jiang, that's Cha Renjun, the new coach of the Korean team."
Jiang Shaoyu glanced back at the other person, just in time to meet that person's gaze. For some reason, that man's sharp eyes made Jiang Shaoyu very uncomfortable. He frowned, looked away, and ignored the Korean team.
Hua Ran whispered to Shu Chen, "Brother Chen, I saw Ahn Taehyun, the one with gray hair, the scout from the Asian Championships."
Shu Chen nodded. "Well, I, I remember him."
Hua Ran asked curiously, "The captain of their Asian Championships, Zheng Zhiyu, really didn't come. Is it because they lost the Asian Championships and were hidden in the snow like Coach Han?"
Among the Korean national team players this year, only two players in the Asian Championships were selected. The captain Zheng Zhiyu failed to join the national team, which must have something to do with the public opinion on the Korean Internet.
However, these are internal affairs in Korea, and Jiang Shaoyu doesn't care. Which players they send are the same, and the Huaguo team will go all out.
After checking in, everyone went to the hotel room.
There are more than 20 people in the Huaguo team going abroad this time. The players all live in single rooms so as not to interfere with each other's rest. The assistant coaches, tactical consultants, and chef teams of the working group all live in double rooms.
Yu Mingxiang thoughtfully arranged a separate suite for Jiang Shaoyu. He's an Omega, and it's convenient for the personal doctor to visit him when he's out of the game. Second, this suite can also be used as a temporary conference room to discuss things with the tactical team and players.
After packing his luggage, Jiang Shaoyu sent a message to Zhou Yang, a personal doctor, asking him to come over.
It didn't take long for Dr. Zhou to drive to the door in person.
After not seeing him for a while, Zhou Yang found that Jiang Shaoyu had changed a lot. He looked even more haggard than when he first came to him for treatment, and there were faint circles under his eyes. He said with concern, "Have you not rested well?"
Jiang Shaoyu frowned and pressed his temples, and said, "I've been busy during this time. I often stay up late, and my schedule is a bit messy. It doesn't matter. I'll adjust it slowly after returning home from the game."
Dr. Zhou put the medicine box on the table, took out the tester from the box, let Jiang Shaoyu sit on the sofa and draw a little blood, and connected the device to detect the pheromone data. The blood test will be more accurate than a portable device.
After a while, Dr. Zhou looked at the result and said, "Your pheromone is fairly stable. Is it controlled by inhibitors recently, or by the mark of your Alpha boyfriend?"
Jiang Shaoyu looked up at him. "What boyfriend?"
Dr. Zhou said, "You called me before and said that you were marked by an Alpha twice, isn't he your boyfriend?"
Jiang Shaoyu looked away uncomfortably, and said in a low voice, "You think too much, he's just helping."
Dr. Zhou smiled and said, "Really? You are very repulsive to most of the Alpha's approach. Since you can bear his mark, it means that your pheromones are very compatible. Don't you think about developing it and making him your long-term inhibitor? "
Jiang Shaoyu refused without hesitation. "I'm not suitable for him, let's take an inhibitor. I brought more than 20 inhibitors when I went abroad this time. Bring me more when you come over tomorrow."
Dr. Zhou was helpless. "Okay. I'll put the medicine box and detector with you so I won't have to take them back in the future. I'll be on vacation tomorrow, and I'll come back in the morning to bring you some inhibitors."
Jiang Shaoyu nodded. "Well, I've troubled you."
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "You're welcome, this is what I should do."
The private doctor will charge every time he visits. Jiang Shaoyu can afford the money, and Zhou Yang is also happy to see him. The hotel arranged for this competition is not far from Zhou Yang's residence, so it is very convenient to go back and forth.
After a detailed inspection, Zhou Yang turned around and left.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Zhou Yang just bumped into him when he went out. There was an Alpha young man standing outside the door. The two looked at each other, and the other's eyes were obviously wary.
Zhou Yang looked carefully at the young man in front of him, he was tall and handsome, and his vigilant eyes were like a big dog guarding his master. Anyone who approached his master would be glared fiercely by him.
It seems that this is the Alpha who marked Ah Yu? He looks younger than Ah Yu. Zhou Yang was amused and explained, "I am Ah Yu's personal doctor. Are you looking for him?"
Hearing this, Pei Feng immediately changed his attitude and extended his hand with a smile. "Hello, doctor, you made a special trip, how is his health?"
Zhou Yang said, "No problem, I'll come back tomorrow."
After the doctor left, Pei Feng pushed the door open and said in a low voice, "Master, Sister Yu has communicated with the organizer. Our chef will cook in the back of the hotel and provide the Huaguo team with three meals a day. Also, the schedule for the game will be announced this morning."
Jiang Shaoyu nodded. "Well, I see."
Pei Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just met your doctor, are you okay?"
Jiang Shaoyu said, "I'm okay, don't worry."
Pei Feng didn't say anything more and consciously backed out.
He had just seen blood-stained cotton balls and injection syringes in the trash can. Apparently, the doctor drew blood for Master's examination.
The master was only 18 years old at that time.
With this strange disease, how much grievance did he suffer when he went abroad alone?
In recent years, he had been living abroad by himself, taking injections every day to control pheromones, and every year when he was in estrus, he had to put more than a dozen needles into his arms.
Thinking of this, Pei Feng couldn't help feeling distressed.
Pei Feng returned to his dormitory, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yu Mingxiang. "Sister Yu, do you know the doctor who treated my master?"
Yu Mingxiang said, "I don't know. Ah Yu asked me to give him a pass to make it easier for him to come to the hotel at any time. All I know is that his name is Zhou Yang, and he is Ah Yu's personal doctor during his time abroad. They had a good relationship."
During the competition, in order to avoid harassment by fans and reporters, players cannot enter the hotel without a pass. If Dr. Zhou can come in directly, Yu Mingxiang must have asked the organizer to get the Huaguo team's pass.
Pei Feng thought he knew Jiang Shaoyu's situation very well, but now it seems that Master did not explain it to him in detail.
He was last marked in July, and it's almost expired in November.
Pei Feng respected Master's wishes and did not make up the mark. During this time, Jiang Shaoyu continued to use inhibitors to control pheromones, and brought a lot of medicines when he went abroad. With the presence of a private doctor, Pei Feng can rest assured.
That night, the players of the Huaguo team slept in the hotel. Many of them went abroad for the first time and couldn't fall asleep with excitement. The time difference of day and night is reversed, and it cannot be adjusted in one day.
The next morning, Dr. Zhou came to the hotel again and brought Jiang Shaoyu the inhibitor. After Jiang Shaoyu had the injection, he cleaned up the garbage, and immediately followed the coaches and consultants of the tactical team to the room for a meeting.
The schedule of matches has been posted on the official website.
On December 3, at 7 o'clock p.m. two days later, the 6th Gun King World Championship will officially open. The group stage will run for a week, with each country playing a match on two days at a frequency.
The schedule of Group F is very unfriendly to the Chinese national team.
Shortly after the opening ceremony on December 3, at 9 o'clock p.m., it was the game between China and Germany. That is to say, the players of the national team, before they have found their game state, will be the first to face off against the strongest German team in Group F, the third runner-up last season.
In fact, the arrangement of the schedule is also very important to the players.
If you play against the weaker Spain first, then Canada, and finally Germany, there is a gradual buffering process from easy to difficult, and the players will get better and better.
This is similar to doing simple multiple-choice questions and filling-in-the-blank questions in the exam to get some scores, and finally come to the more difficult big questions and try your best.
If you come up with a 15-point big question directly, if you can't do it, it's easy to lose your mentality, resulting in various mistakes in the simple questions that you would have done.
Playing against Germany in the first game, the pressure on the Huaguo team will be very high.
This is also the reason why Jiang Shaoyu held an urgent meeting to discuss the schedule after seeing the schedule. Not only did they have to arrange the tactics to deal with the German team as soon as possible, but also pay attention to the mentality of the players not to be broken... It's really difficult!
The assistant coach Lao Cui said with a headache, "Why is our Huaguo team so unlucky? The last year was also such a nightmare schedule. The first game of the group stage was against the United States, but it was overwhelmed, and the players' mentality collapsed directly. There were also various mistakes in the field, and in the end, the group failed to qualify by one point."
Lao Chang said with emotion, "The schedule of the Asian Championships is also very unfavorable for us. After the game is finished in the afternoon, it will be played again in the evening. There are two games a day, and there is less than two hours of rest in between."
Chairman Qi sneered and said, "Is this schedule intentional? In the eyes of the organizers, the Huaguo team is a cannon fodder for the first round of the group stage. Germany beat us to get points from us."
Everyone's mood is very complicated. It's really funny to have such a nightmare schedule every time! However, the schedule is already like this, and the only thing Huaguo can do is to adjust the state to actively fight.
Jiang Shaoyu said calmly, "Since the first game is against Germany, let the players practice their mentality. In the first game, I plan to let Mo Hantian lead, I want to see if some people will cry when they play the game."
Everyone: "......"
What the hell!
Let Princess Mo directly play the German team, what should they do if his mentality collapses again?
Mo Hantian is likely to bring down the audience. In the last group match against the United States, after he was killed twice, he walked off the stage crying, and the subsequent games were so sloppy that he was dubbed by netizens as the "Ambassador of Persuading Gunners to Quit".
Now, in the first game of the group stage against a strong enemy like Germany, Jiang Shaoyu dared to let Xiao Mo take the lead?
Lao Cui was the assistant coach in the last term, and he also traveled with the team. He still remembers the scene when Mo Hantian cried until he was out of breath after the game. It was really terrible. He bit the bullet and said, "Let Xiao Mo play in the first round, wouldn't the risk be too great?"
Jiang Shaoyu said calmly, "There are risks and benefits. These 18-year-old young players must adapt to the rhythm and cruelty of the World Championship in the group stage, and stabilize their mentality. If they lose a group stage, they can still find a way to save them. If you lose, you have to go home."
There are three group matches, and even if they lose to Germany, they can take points from Canada and Spain and try their best to qualify for the group stage. But once the subsequent knockout rounds are lost, they can only pack up and leave.
To hone the mentality of newcomers, only the group stage has this opportunity.
The risks are indeed there. Xiao Mo may have a mental breakdown, Hua Ran and Qin Xueyao may be beaten to the point of losing confidence when they participate in the world competition for the first time...
But this is only one possibility.
There is another possibility. After they played against the German team, they'll become more and more courageous, correct their mentality, and won't be afraid of strong enemies. They'll play the strongest level in the follow-up games and become truly excellent professional players.
Jiang Shaoyu's eyes have always been on the world champion, and the group stage is the only opportunity for them to train.
At this time, compared to the intense preparations of the Huaguo team, the coach of the German team, Clemons, was very relaxed. The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes glanced at the schedule and said with a smile, "The first game is against the Huaguo team, there is no need to worry too much, it is best to win 2:0 and lock the group in advance!"
