“Coach Shan, Brother Lang!
"This time we have to give this little girl some color!"
At three o'clock in the afternoon on March 3, Hongdu City, Pohu Province, Tengjiangge Xihuan Hotel.
In the preparation meeting before the first round of the first round of this year's Weijia playoffs, Zhuang Zheng immediately made a statement:
"Otherwise our team will really lose face!"
"Well..."
Hearing these words, Shan Gang, the coach of the Dongjiang team, pretended to be silent, but in fact he was secretly happy to have a team member who could act as his mouthpiece.
As for why...
That is naturally inseparable from another disastrous defeat of China in this Nongshim Cup!
This humiliating defeat of the national players has become the biggest topic in the Chinese sports world in the past two days, with comments everywhere on social media.
In fact, Go is originally a niche sport, and it has lost many times to South Korea in recent years. A loss at this level is painful, but logically speaking, it is not like being defeated by a small country in the men's team finals of the Asian Games. It's embarrassing to get 4-1.
But the good thing about it is: in the past two years or so, due to Zhao Tianhou's continuous popularity in the circle, although there are not too many people playing Go at the moment, there are already a lot of Yunqi fans!
And Zhaojun himself received special attention because of his extremely high topicality and controversy!
In the last Nongshim Cup, the Chinese team finally relied on Rui Zhao's "Pink Miracle" to come and end many records of the "God of Nongshim" in one fell swoop!
As a result, as soon as Zhao Tianhou did not participate in the Nongshim Cup this time, a group of male chess players were defeated by the deputy general Liu Shaoye once again. In addition, the opponent openly ridiculed in the post-match interview, "Without Rui Zhao, it is not the strongest lineup." ”, which naturally aroused heated discussions throughout the sports world!
Suddenly, the Chinese men's Go game directly became on par with the national football team. And in Dongjiang, where this tragedy occurred, the Dongjiang men's team has received especially a lot of criticism!
First of all, it's because the team's leader "Prodigal Son" Lang Haishen is the backbone of the Chinese team in this Nongshim Cup. Naturally, he should bear a share of the blame for being eliminated by the team.
Secondly, the chess fans in Dongjiang were already quite concerned about the fact that Queen Zhao Tian was "living in a foreign land". As a result, this time after the "Big Devil" wiped out his own team, he also named Rui Zhao in the hope that Rui Zhao could appear in the Hua Xia team's lineup. This caused Dongjiang chess fans to complain about the home team.
Among them, coach Shan Gang, who initially refused to admit Rui Zhao into the team and mocked Zhao Tianhou this season for saying "she is arrogant after only winning a mere semi-final", was naturally the first to bear the brunt! Lei Jingming even sent him a "greeting" on WeChat saying "South Koreans know Dongjiang's chess players better than you do"!
So for Shan Gang, both publicly and privately, he eagerly hopes that his team, ranked sixth in the regular season, can defeat the Pohu team led by Rui Zhao in the first round of the playoffs!
Zhuang Zheng's current statement can be said to be that he fell asleep and took a pillow!
"Well, that...
"Although Rui Zhao declined our team's invitation last offseason, this matter actually has nothing to do with Rui Zhao now!"
Shan Gang pretended to say:
"...However, the turmoil in the past two days has indeed caused a lot of trouble to our team members!
"So I hope you can turn pressure into motivation, which can also be regarded as rectifying the name of our Chinese men's Go!"
"Okay!" "Okay!"
Two eight-dan chess players, Tong Jingyou and Xi Muchun, responded one after another. Only the leader, Lang Haishen, sat aside without saying a word and only nodded slightly to show his acceptance.
Seeing that his general was not in a very high mood, Zhuang Zheng thought that he had not yet recovered from the tragic defeat in the Nongxin Cup the day before yesterday, so he added a few words of encouragement:
"Brother Lang! This is your time to show off your skills!
"Everyone knows that you are the famous 'Legendary Naizhao', and you will definitely be able to deal with Rui Zhao! You can also prove yourself!
"You know, Brother Lang, you are our real God of War in the Nongshim Cup! The first seven-game winning streak record in the Nongshim Cup was created by you!
"Rui Zhao just won a game of chess, so why are you trying to show off your power?"
When he heard the words "Legendary Naizhao Man", the prodigal son's expression finally changed a little.
He just glanced at the juniors indifferently, then looked at the coach Shan Gang, and simply said:
"That... Coach Shan.
"I think since Zhuang Zheng is so full of fighting spirit this time, he might just consider letting him be the commander!
"It's almost...it's time!"
"...Eh?"
Hearing this statement, Shan Gang was startled for a moment, but he didn't show any particular surprise.
As a veteran world champion and one of the famous young talents among the "post-90s generation", Lang Haishen has been the head coach of the Dongjiang team for a long time.
It's just that time makes people grow old.
In the blink of an eye, the genius who was originally determined to win the world championship in four years and one month is now about to turn thirty.
Since last year, Lang Haishen's performance in domestic and international competitions has begun to be somewhat inferior to Zhuang Zheng's. Shan Gang has also been considering changing the leader, but he has not found a particularly suitable time.
But who knew that at such a juncture, the prodigal son would actually bring it up!
Shan Gang blinked, then looked at Zhuang Zheng and said:
"Xiao Zhuang, you see your brother Lang said so...
"Or...you try this time?"
“That, that’s okay!
"I will definitely not let down Coach Shan and Brother Lang's expectations this time!"
Seeing this, Zhuang Zheng answered hurriedly.
As for the position of commander, he has actually been eager to try it out, but because of his big brother's face, he couldn't say it clearly.
Now that Lang Haishen is so polite, he will just go with the flow.
The prodigal son also showed a ceremonial smile to the younger generation, without any regret at all...
…
…
"Good afternoon, Sister Rui Zhao! It's really hard work for you to come to our live broadcast room to interact with everyone before the game!"
"Ah...it's not hard to say...
"After all, this is my own live broadcast room..."
"Huh? Sister Rui Zhao, have you actually learned how to make simple complaints?" "Eh, eh?
"What does it mean to complain?"
"Ah this...
"No, don't worry!
“So without further ado, let me ask a few questions that everyone is very concerned about!
"The first thing is that after the end of this Nongshim Cup, Liu Shixian 9th Dan publicly expressed at the press conference that 'the Chinese team without you is not the strongest Chinese team.' This sentence also caused a stir in the past two or three days. It has attracted heated discussion among chess fans across the country and even the world
"So Sister Rui Zhao, what do you think of this sentence?"
"Well...
"First of all, I am very happy to receive such a high evaluation from Ryu Se-hyun 9th Dan!
“But I feel that the lineup for each Nongshim Cup is selected through a fair and open process. Since the process is transparent and reasonable, it should be recognized that this is the strongest team that China can field at that time.< br>
"I personally recognize everyone who is playing this time, but their record against them is all at a disadvantage!
"On the contrary... the time I played, it was because Senior Brother Ni retired due to illness, so I came on as a substitute!
"If I have to say it, there may be some flaws in my entry procedures. It's just that I happened to win Ryu Se-hyun 9th Dan at that time, so he was more impressed!"
"I understand...
"Sister Rui Zhao, since Liu Jiuduan has made such a public statement, do you have any thoughts about competing in the Nongshim Cup again?
"It can be seen that Liu Jiuduan is looking forward to playing against you again in the Nongshim Cup!"
"Of course I do! I'm also looking forward to meeting top players like Ryu Se-hyun 9th Dan again in the Nongshim Cup!
"However... I still hope to enter the Nongshim Cup lineup through normal selection. In the next six months, I will also work hard to increase my level score to the top 16!
"So I will also work hard in today's Weijia playoffs! I hope everyone will pay more attention to my performance!"
"Okay Sister Rui Zhao! Xiong Si 19th Dan and I are also waiting for your good news!
"Then I won't waste your time, come on!"
"Come on Little Bear 2!"
"Yeah, thank you Ran Ran and Brother Xiong!
"Then I'll leave first!"
At 11:35 noon on March 4, in the temporary live broadcast room of Tengjiangge Xihuan Hotel and [Go Xiaozhao].
Rui Zhao, who had just finished being interviewed in his own live broadcast room before the game, walked off the stage, waved goodbye to the chess fans sitting under the stage, then walked straight to Ai Jianan, who was standing in the corner of the temporary live broadcast room, and asked in a low voice:
"Sister An An, my answer just now should be okay, right?"
"Yeah, very good!
"Except for the fact that I didn't expect you to complain..."
Miss Ai gave a thumbs up and complained, then added:
"Well, Xiao Zhaomiao...thank you for your hard work!
"I know you don't like to waste time on other things, so I asked you to come here before today's game.
"But this time you are so praised by Liu Shixian, it is really necessary to clarify some things, otherwise some public opinions will not be well guided by public relations, which may also have an impact on our future development plans..."
"Ah, it's okay! It's just two or three minutes!"
Hanhan showed a naive smile:
"Furthermore, since Sister An An said that many people who are interested in Go are looking at me now, then I, Zhaojun, the celebrity who represents the image of Chinese Go, must do my best!
“For this, it’s worth spending a little time!
"Ah! But the game is about to start, I have to get to the stadium quickly!"
"Yeah, come on!"
After bidding farewell to Ai Jian'an, Rui Zhao quickly walked towards the game room.
For Zhaojun at that time, Go was naturally the most important thing.
However, it has been nearly three years since she came to this world. After experiencing many things, the naive girl has begun to realize more and more:
Things about Go don't just exist on the chessboard.
As for the part other than the chessboard, although she is not familiar with it, if she needs to do it, she will work hard without hesitation!
After all...
Even the seventh-dan Bai allowed Xiaohui to continue trying to become a professional Go player!
At the beginning of the new year, the increasingly mature Chinese Go ladies, with full expectations, officially set foot on the new year's competition field...
…
…
Fifteen minutes later, the matchup between Pohu team and Dongjiang team was officially announced in the first round of the first round of the championship zone of this China Go League A. The details were as follows:
Channel 1: [Du Weichen] versus [Lang Haishen]
Channel 2: [Yang Manjing] versus [Tong Jingyou] (Quick)
Channel 3: [Rui Zhao] versus [Zhuang Zheng]
Channel 4: [Zeng Guangwen] versus [Xi Muchun] (End of Chapter)
