Li Nian took a deep breath.

The airtight cabin was a little depressing, but fortunately, the flight staff comforted the Saudi tycoons in time, and the plane finally became quiet.

After ordering a glass of boiled water, Li Nian tuned up some music, put on his headphones, and leaned against the window, watching the bustling night view of Hong Kong drifting away from him.

The skyscrapers soaring into the sky gradually disappeared into the clouds. Li Nian pulled up the sun visor of the plane, dimmed the lights above his head, put on the eye mask issued by the organizing committee, and curled up into a ball with his hands folded.

Starting from the Asian Games training camp a month ago, I was forced to follow the schedule of the sports team, which caused the biological clock to be disordered. It took me a long time to adjust it.

During this time, he felt sleep deprived.

High-pressure training and competition, coupled with many trips back and forth in a short period of time, will inevitably make you tired after traveling and traveling.

Even Li Nian, who didn't like sleeping in a noisy environment, his eyelids felt very heavy at this time, and he fell asleep after closing them.

This time, I slept until I landed.

When I opened my sleepy eyes and followed the flow of people out of the cabin, I was greeted by the hot and humid air.

Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia and has a typical tropical rainforest climate. The environment is obviously different from Shanghai.

Carrying the suitcase, Li Nian looked around the airport.

Due to the Asian Games, many fans from other countries also went in groups, wearing uniform styles on their heads or clothes.

As for Li Nian and his group of e-sports athletes, since the organizing committee members were also on the plane, they also wore uniforms sponsored by Anta.

So it's easy to identify.

Broiler and Jiang Chenglu, who had also just gotten off the plane, also immediately spotted Li Nian, who stood out among the crowd.

Kkoma and Mafa are also with them.

"How about our IG taking a photo?" Broiler said with great interest, "A photo of the Asian Games!"

When Li Nian heard this proposal, he thought it was quite commemorative, so he pulled other teammates over.

Jian Aoyao took the initiative to ask Ying to help take photos.

Five players, Jiang Chenglu, Li Nian, Broiler, Jack and Baolan, and two coaching staff members were all included in the camera.

Different from the previous club photos, this time they did not wear IG's bright red uniforms, but wore their respective national team uniforms.

The orange-red colors of mainland China, the white colors of South Korea, and the blue colors of Chinese Taipei are mixed together in the background. This group photo looks colorful and gaudy.

The seven people in the photo are using the classic thumbs-up expression.

"Let's take another selfie." Uzi saw that the IG team was enjoying themselves, but he felt a little lonely alone, so he brought his big face to the front of the camera, "Everyone can do whatever they want this time."

The little sapphire eyes rolled.

The sun shines on his exposed silver metal braces, still reflecting light.

He immediately couldn't hold back his hands that were about to move and hugged the Shiba Inu directly.

Li Nian rushed to the moment before Uzi pressed the shutter, and used his hands behind him to perform Vayne's classic action - half squatting with his body, and moving his hands to the right to make a Galaxy Rockets posture.

The scene was frozen, and the eight people taking selfies were smiling brightly. Jack and Sapphire were holding hands and making faces at the camera.

The photo was posted to the IG training department group chat. Uzi also copied the photo to his mobile phone and didn’t know who he sent it to.

But looking at his blushing face, he gave Li Nian a meaningful look.

This little black guy

Xi Huang, who was abandoned at the Shanghai base to lead the second team of newcomers alone, was very unhappy.

My assistant was throwing coins: "If you win the final, can you crowdfund to buy me a new mobile phone? To make up for my hurt heart."

Lao Ba’s secret hamburger: “Xi Huang, your plans are so loud, I can hear them in the sky above Jakarta.”

Team Wang Wang made a great contribution: "Chen Long, you idiot! Go to bed quickly, there is everything in your dream."

My assistant is Sabi: "It's impossible to sleep while I'm sleeping. I'm also planning to escape from IG with my bin guide and start my own business!"

Li Nian put away his cell phone, chatted with his coach for a while, then said goodbye to the large team looking for the organizing committee.

While the IG guys were taking pictures with Uzi, the others were idle. Xiye and Letme found Casa and took a group photo with them, and gave Jian Aoao a severe scolding.

After struggling in the airport lobby for half an hour, everyone at CHN finally gathered together again, waiting for the follow-up arrangements of the person in charge of this competition.

At the same time, some athletes from other sports can also be seen one after another in the interior of the hall, also waiting.

The person in charge of the organizing committee’s itinerary for this contestant is a middle-aged man from the General Administration of Sports.

He stood in front of everyone, counted the number of people, and then cleared his throat and said loudly.

"Jakarta, temperature 29-35℃, cloudy to sunny, northeast wind, air humidity 72%"

He glanced at the young man in front of him.

Many years of working in large-scale sports events have given the middle-aged man ample experience, he continued to remind.

“When you go out for media interviews later, remember to be careful with your words and actions!”

Li Nian took advantage of his height and looked outside the terminal.

Sure enough, the guns and flashlights almost turned the outside into a battlefield.

When they saw the CHN League of Legends team entering their sight, they swarmed up and surrounded the players.

In contrast, the members of the coaching staff were not well-known and did not receive much attention. Abramovich and the others easily broke out of the encirclement.

As the star player of this team, Li Nian naturally became the focus of everyone's interviews.

"Two days ago, the Chinese mainland team achieved a good result of 10 wins and 1 loss in the Hong Kong qualifiers. In this main competition stage, is the goal to sweep all the teams and win the championship?"

"I feel like I can win, that's all," Li Nian replied truthfully, "At least the process doesn't have to be too confusing."

He experienced the death of RNG in S8.

So naturally it is clear.

In e-sports, the result is always more important than the process.

Even if we lose for a year, it is something to be proud of in the end when everyone is optimistic about winning the championship.

Seeing that Li Nian's answers were impeccable, reporter Wanwan was unwilling to let him go and continued to ask questions.

"What do you think of the TPE region?"

"They have a lot of room for improvement."

Li Nian answered seriously.

Reporter Wanwan’s eyes lit up.

They say that interviewers are really good, and he finally saw it.

This is a good answer!

Li Nian ignored him, dealt with the other two reporters, and turned to look at the last media outlet.

The logo printed on the microphone made him feel more friendly.

CCTV.

The two of them greeted each other first.

After all, the authority of this media is unquestionable, and the articles published are relatively pertinent.

Unlike other self-media, they like to use headline-based tactics to increase traffic.

CCTV reporters first ventilated Li Nian and others and expressed the need for an exclusive interview.

This is something that every project goes through.

Like their colleagues, they were still interviewing the table tennis players.

Following the reporter to the bus with stop C printed on it, the reporter greeted the cameraman to take a photo with the team members.

"Li Nian, stand in the middle, holding the national flag..."

The photographer returned to the car and took out the national flag that had been prepared and directed them to complete their positions.

This time the group photo was more official.

Everyone's expressions were relatively solemn, and there was no trouble.

The weather in Indonesia is really hot.

Many people around were wearing white scarves on their heads, trying to resist the burning sensation on their skin caused by ultraviolet rays.

Then get on the bus at stop C.

The car air conditioner is on.

After they got in the car, everyone felt relaxed.

A CCTV reporter pointed his microphone at Li Nian.

As explained above, this is the key interviewee.

After all, Li Nian is ahead of other players in terms of personal strength and influence, so he naturally attracts much attention.
