Chapter 672: Just a chance
“…Next, let’s invite the final champion of this league, the Pohu Jinlai Environmental Protection Team, to come on stage to receive the award!”
November 30, Shanggu City, the auditorium of Give Gift Sky Hotel.
Accompanied by the voice of the BGM host, the little witch Yang Manjing, who was waiting in the audience, took a deep breath and prepared to take steps towards the stage.
Today is the last competition day and awards ceremony of the 2025 Chinese Women’s League.
Under the leadership of the two young twin stars Yang Manjing and Uesaka Rei, even without the first domestic sister Rui Zhao, the Pohu women's team still made great progress in this league, and finally defended the women's siege championship with a total of 71 points!
Now, Yang Manjing is about to take the stage and win another league championship trophy in two years with his new teammates.
However, just as she climbed up the stairs, she met Liu Yuhong, who had just come on stage to receive the award as the third runner-up, and the atmosphere suddenly felt a little awkward.
But... after all, Liu Yuhong is already a 27-year-old veteran. He has seen many situations. He still tried his best to smile and said:
"Congratulations, Jingjing!
"Leading the team to win the championship when I was less than 20 years old. Sure enough, each generation is getting better and better!"
"Uh...thank you, Sister Yu Hong!"
Yang Manjing replied rather embarrassedly. She knew that Xiao Xiaoniao must not be in a good mood recently.
This year's women's siege, Pohu stands out, basically ending the suspense of the championship very early.
In the final battle for runner-up, the Dongjiang team relied on Xu Nanying's outstanding performance and Wu Yueyun's strength and strength, and finally defeated its old rival Su Hu to win the runner-up. The Suhu team had to achieve its worst performance since Liu Yuhong joined the team. Achievements.
But forget this, what makes Liu Yuhong even more worried is that he is not from China.
During the final rounds of the Women's League, this Nongshim Cup also ended the competition for the five games in the second stage.
After the first man in the world made his early debut as South Korea's vice-general, the Chinese team's originally smooth rhythm in the arena was instantly disrupted!
In the next three games, Liu Shixian defeated Sun Yi, Shindo Hiroaki and Zhu Yuanjun in a row, and Sun Houer's eight-game winning streak was naturally wiped out. She didn't believe Liu Yuhong was not influenced by male votes.
Thinking of this, the little witch took over the conversation in a hurry and said:
"That, that...
"Brother Sun Yi still has a chance in the next LIG Cup!
"Including you, as well as the Bay Area Masters Competition and the Wuyue Cup finals! Come on!"
Liu Yuhong seemed a little surprised to hear the comfort from the younger generation, and the comfort was quite on point, but he still smiled happily and said:
"I know this. Of course I know that Sun Hou'er has worked hard enough!
"He might...
"It's just a lack of a good opportunity."
…
…
"That...Sun Yi.
"You performed very well in the Nongshim Cup this time!
"Being able to beat Master Liu ahead of time is already a huge success! It doesn't matter if we don't win eight consecutive games!"
On the evening of December 1st, Kunji Resort in Kyoto-do, South Korea.
The welcome dinner of the 2025 LIG Cup is being held here. Seeing that Sun Yi's mood was still low at the dinner, Lu Wenjie decisively came to him and raised a glass to persuade:
"Including... some gossip, don't worry about it."
Sun Yi blinked, naturally knowing what Lu Wenjie was referring to.
After losing to Young Master Liu once again, Sun Houer's record against Liu Shixian in his career has been one win and ten losses - the only victory was at an international rookie exchange competition when both sides were only sixteen years old. Sun Yi didn't win any of the more formal competitions, so he was extremely filial.
Recently, there has been a lot of controversy about Rui Zhao in domestic online public opinion. At this time, Sun Yi, who had a lot of daily sparring with Rui Zhao and often appeared in Zhao Tianhou and Tianhou's dog live broadcast, had a double-digit losing streak against Liu Shixian, so Sun Yi also became Zhao Hei. They used tools to pull and trample.
Since losing to Liu Shixian in the third game of the second stage, there have been some rumors saying that the reason why Sun Yi has been stable and filial to his opponent for a long time is because he has been practicing chess with female chess players and is used to playing bad chess baskets, so he has not even been able to compete in the World Championship finals. Can't get in.
And when this reached Sun Hou'er's ears, it inevitably made him feel a little depressed.
"That won't happen, Vice Chairman Lu."
Sun Yi tried his best to smile and replied as if nothing happened:
"I am also a title holder after all, and I am very familiar with Rui Zhao's level - she is fully qualified to be my sparring opponent!
"To be honest, although I have not achieved much in the past year, I personally feel that I have actually improved, and this is inseparable from Rui Zhao's high-intensity sparring with me."
What Sun Yi said is true: in the past year or so, he has gradually improved his strength and slowly suppressed Xiong Siyi and Xu Xiangheng, who were previously stable and dutiful. A large part of the reason is indeed the existence of Rui Zhao.
After all, getting paid to practice chess is really a source of motivation for Sun Houer, who is also in urgent need of material accumulation! The training efficiency is not the same as in the past, and the performance in chess has naturally improved.
Just...
Meeting Liu Shixian and Lei Qi, the two leading masters, jointly suppressed him, which really made Sun Houer a little temperamental!
In addition, the long-term losing streak against the two of them had a certain impact on Sun Yi's psychology, which made him increasingly unable to perform beyond his level when facing the two of them, so he was unable to make a major breakthrough for a long time!
"Well, just understand!
"Rui Zhao has already won the [Celebrity], you must not be far away from the World Championship!"
After a few words of consolation, the host announced that the first round of draws and group photos of the players would begin, so Lu Wenjie returned to his seat and let his chess players get down to business first.
In fact, as a seed player, Sun Yi does not need to participate in the draw in the first round.
However, after the draw, there was a group photo of all participating chess players that required participation, so Sun Houer waited by the stage, waiting for the non-seeded players to come on stage one by one, and finally take a group photo together.
I hope... in the second round of drawing tomorrow at this time, Ryu Se-hyun will not be drawn!
Although there was still more than a full day before he had to go on stage to draw lots, Sun Houer couldn't help but pray.
But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the person standing next to him was the person he least wanted to meet!
At this time, Master Liu also noticed Sun Yi coming to his side, and gave him a gentle smile that could not find any fault.
Ah...
I hope we can meet each other off the court and never meet again behind the court...
Sun Hou'er sighed softly in his heart, and was about to simply nod in return, but at this time, he was a little confused, so after pondering for a while, he asked the other party a question:
< br>
"Well, Liu Jiuduan..."
"Huh?"
"Why did you come out early for the Nongshim Cup this time?
“The last four competitions...
"Aren't you an iron commander?"
