Chapter 219 "Flow" is no longer available
"You said... you can't use 'flow' anymore?"
At 11:30 in the middle of the night on August 31, Bianzhou City Bo Man International Hotel, Cai Shuang's room.
After a quick chess game of a competitive nature, Cai Shuang looked at his junior brother in surprise.
Although Lei Qi won this game of fast chess, he did so reluctantly. Cai Shuang himself clearly felt that he had several chances.
Judging from the board situation, the strength shown by both sides is probably only between the two!
Since this year, most of his exercises with Lei Qi have been firmly suppressed, which is very rare today.
Lei Qi just held his chin with one hand, his expression was serious, and his voice was extremely low.
"...Well, senior brother.
"To be honest, after the chess holy war, I couldn't make up my mind.
"I feel... I feel a little confused."
Hearing this, Cai Shuang couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately said:
"Lei Qi, I know how you feel about some of the teacher's recent decisions. Not happy.
“But the Weijia competition is about the honor of the honorary group, so you can’t be angry! "
Lei Qi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard these words. He suddenly felt a little tired and sighed:
"Senior brother...am I so ugly in your eyes?"
"Huh?"
Cai Shuang then realized that what he said was a bit too much, and quickly rounded it off Liao Yuan:
"That...I, I didn't mean that. But...just, that..."
Seeing that his senior brother was a little flustered for a moment, Lei Qi took over decisively:
"It's okay, I guess I need to adjust for a while... As long as I adjust."
"The national championship will start the day after tomorrow. I will try my best to adapt to the state.
“If it still doesn’t work, I will tell the team that it is better to let Lao Li serve as the permanent leader.
“In the leader battle, I can’t play most generals now. But for other platforms, I should still be able to guarantee a certain winning rate. "
The "Old Li" Lei Qi refers to is the South Korean foreign aid Li Tingyan invited by the Dajing team.
Lee Jung-yeon is a four-time world champion, one of the top three chess players in South Korea, and is undoubtedly a powerful foreign aid.
The reason why he is called "Lao Li" is because he was born in November 1993 and is about to turn thirty. He is also a veteran. In the previous two seasons, he has been the main choice for the Dajing team in most situations.
As for the remaining "few cases", it is mainly in the away game situation, where the opponent has designated the foreign aid leader first (the home team has the right to determine the leader first).
According to the battle principle of "Foreign Aid Avoidance", foreign aid from both sides cannot meet. At this time, Cai Shuang, who was not yet at the ninth level at the time, could only be promoted to the leading position.
As for Lei Qi, in the first three seasons, he was only a mid-level player in the fifth and sixth tiers. The team has been cultivating him to be able to come to the stage, so it is impossible for him to take the lead.
However, this situation finally changed last year.
In the second half of last year, Cai Shuang and Lei Qi both improved their chess skills. Lei Qi won two national championships in a row, named 7th Dan, but his strength has already entered the top ten in the country.
Cai Shuang's strength has also steadily improved, officially entering the ninth dan.
So in the siege playoffs at the beginning of this year, the Dajing team changed from its previous weak situation of being below average and reached the semi-finals. In the end, it was defeated by the three world-class players Xiong Siyi, Shangguan Sheng and Ni Jue. The championship-leading Zhejiang Hangzhou team was carried away, which was considered an honor despite the defeat.
With the offseason of Weijia in the first half of this year, Lei Qi's chess skills further improved, and he was crowned the world champion and promoted to ninth dan. The Dajing team, equipped with the four main players "Nine Nine Nine Seven", also began to look forward to making a further step and even winning the championship!
However, after the start of the new season, Lei Qi, as the leader of the team, lost two games in a row, and the Dajing team also regrettably lost to their opponents because of the defeat of the leader, which cast a shadow over the journey of the new season.
Cai Shuang frowned and said quickly:
"Yeah, you give priority to adjusting your condition first.
"If... you feel really uncomfortable, you can talk to I said, at worst, we can go to the teacher to talk about this matter together. It’s not good for you to be angry..."
"Senior brother, I really don’t have it. ”
When Lei Qi interrupted Cai Shuang, there was a hint of sadness in his tone that was not easy to detect.
"I have already talked about everything I should talk to Teacher Shang. I have also realized my mistake and there is no need to talk to the teacher anymore. "Uh, um...Senior brother, if nothing happens, I will go back and rest first. , it’s too late today. ”
Hearing that Lei Qi had mentioned this, Cai Shuang couldn’t say anything more and had to send his junior brother out of his room.
Leave Lei Qi, who was in Cai Shuang's room, didn't stay any longer and walked directly to his room
But at this time, the young man had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Even senior brother... Do you suspect that I am angry?
Oh, there is no way! The melon fields are under plum blossoms...
Lei Qi took a deep breath, with a wry smile on his face.
......Anyway, let's figure out how to win chess first.
After all...this is the best way to respond to all doubts.
…
…
[Lei Qi lost to Ji Qiufu again in the top 16 of the national championship, and the real-time rating is expected to have fallen to third place]
< br>At four o'clock in the afternoon on August 3, Dajing City Chinese Go Association.
Shang Chaotian, who was preparing for a meeting in the conference room, frowned when he saw the latest news about the national championship.
Lei Qi seemed to be unable to use the "flow" thing. Cai Shuang told him immediately on the 31st - of course, even if he didn't tell Shang Chaotian, he realized that the student's performance was wrong. The chairman of the Association will also learn the actual situation after watching the live broadcast.
This matter can be said to make Shang Chaotian quite troubled.
If Lei Qi is simply in poor condition and has lost more recently, Shang Chaotian is not too worried.
After all, it is inevitable for Go players to have ups and downs in their status. It will be fine to adjust after some time.
However, Lei Qi can't use "flow" anymore... This matter is more troublesome.
On the phone that day, Cai Shuang expressed his concern that his junior brother was angry, but Shang Chaotian immediately denied it and told his eldest student not to think too much.
On the one hand, this is because based on Lei Qi's past performance, he still has a strong sense of responsibility and collective honor, and will not engage in excessive behavior such as using team competitions to get angry.
On the other hand, Shang Chaotian, who has also played in various team competitions, also knows that it is definitely not a good thing for members of a team to be suspicious of each other - especially between senior brothers.
But... I say this, but Shang Chaotian's inner psychological state has been very complicated these days.
In fact, in a sense, he actually hoped that Lei Qi was really angry!
Because if you are just gambling, then as long as you lose too much, your performance and income will drop, Lei Qi, who has indeed suffered losses, cannot continue to gamble.
After all, people may always have trouble with their teachers, but it is impossible to always have trouble with their grades, reputation, status, and income.
It’s scary to be scared. If Lei Qi wasn’t angry, then...
Just when Shang Chaotian felt more and more headache, the voice of the deputy on the side pulled Shang Chaotian out of his thoughts. Pulled out:
"...Brother Tian, everyone is here. Let's get started."
"Ah...ok!"
Shang Chaotian responded casually.
“Uh, everyone, please be quiet... We are having a short meeting now.
“Today’s meeting is mainly about two topics.
"The first one is about the selection of players for this year's 'Lakeside Cup' Women's Go Tournament, which was officially announced a few days ago.
"Because the competition will start in mid-October, this matter needs to be determined as soon as possible Come down to facilitate the adjustment of the time schedule for subsequent events.
"The second one is about matters related to the [Emergency Relief Clause] application submitted by the Women's Waijia Dongjiang Team yesterday morning."
Emergency...relief clause?
Hearing this, many of the executive members participating in the meeting were stunned.
Because this clause has never been heard of in their minds.
We are still explaining the background of the early stage of this volume, and it is expected that the relevant plot of the [New First Stage] will be entered the day after tomorrow.
