Chapter 226 Sensible
August 15, Tuesday.
Dajing City, Dachang Airport.
At 11:30 noon, Cai Shuang got out of the taxi and stopped at the agreed meeting point.
He arrived earlier than the agreed time, waiting for his teacher and junior brother here in advance to go to Gezhou together.
This time, he and Lei Qi were heading to Gezhou to participate in what was likely to be the last 'Tongge Cup' National Go Championship. Shang Chaotian is here to help the competition.
The reason why it is said to be the last one is because next year’s ‘Tongge Cup’ will be officially upgraded to an annual world series and will no longer be known as the ‘National Championship’.
The "Tongge Cup" National Go Championship is a long-established tournament in the country. It existed before Gezhou City officially launched the "Go Cultural Tourism Strategy". Even when the cultural tourism strategy of Gezhou City was first launched, it was centered around this well-established event.
This competition is not an open competition. There are a total of 32 players in this competition. The specific allocation is to the top 31 domestic chess players (can be postponed), and one player under the age of 18 with the highest rating ( If the highest score meets the former, it will be postponed downward). Therefore, it is not included in a certain silly female anchor’s competition plan for the second half of the year.
During the last Tongge Cup, two students from Shang Chaotian also participated in this competition.
At that time, Cai Shuang was ranked 28th in the rankings. Although Lei Qi was only ranked 39th in the domestic rankings at the time, he successfully entered the competition by virtue of his status as "the first minor in the country".
However, the final results of the senior fellow students were not as indicated by the grade rankings at that time.
In the first round of the Tongge Cup last year, Cai Shuang was eliminated by Zhu Yuanjun.
But Lei Qi fought all the way to the semi-finals, and finally lost to Dai Ran after a hard battle, which shocked the media for a while.
The last Tongge Cup was also considered by the chess community as one of the important signs of the rapid rise of Lei Qi, recognized as the number one player in the future, in a short period of time.
However, this time Lei Qi "revisits the blessed land", he will definitely not be in a good mood...
At this moment, the voice of a humble and polite young man suddenly came.
"Senior brother! You're here so early!"
"Ah, Lei Qi!"
Cai Shuang responded subconsciously, and saw Lei Qi smiling, As before.
But Cai Shuang couldn't help but frown.
We had already talked so much yesterday, why is he still like this...
Cai Shuang couldn't help but asked tentatively:
"That... Lei Qi, teacher, he spoke a bit harshly yesterday, but it was for your own good, so don’t take it to heart.”
Lei Qi nodded when he heard this, but there was still nothing wrong:
"Well, I understand that. My recent performance is indeed not good, and I need to criticize and reflect on it!"
Seeing Lei Qi's respectful words, Cai Shuang continued to ask directly:
"Then... this time on the 'Tong Ge Cup', will you use 'heart flow'?"
However, Lei Qi was startled for a moment and smiled helplessly again:
"Senior brother...I, I really said everything I needed to say yesterday!
"Maybe I haven't adjusted yet...but I really can't use 'flow' now."
Why is he still angry?
Cai Shuang couldn't help but frown:
"Lei Qi, it's your own business to think about some individual competitions. Even in club competitions, it's fine if you cheat a few of us. , but when the time comes, do you plan to do the same for the Nongshim Cup? Are you willing to do it for such a trivial matter?
"Didn't you hear what the teacher said yesterday, the chess association can understand the ups and downs of the situation, but if If you have a bad attitude, you will really be replaced! ”
At this point, Lei Qi's smile could no longer be maintained, and after a long time he said softly:
"...Brother, I really didn't mean it. I... really can't use it anymore."
"Hey..."
Cai Shuang couldn't help but shook his head.
He really didn’t know why his little junior brother, who had always been obedient and sensible, was so unreasonable this time.
…
…
“…No, Little Bear, are you thinking too lightly?!
“That is the number one title [Chess Saint] in the country! In terms of importance, it is only stronger than a world championship. How can you say that you can let it go! It’s normal for Xiao Lei’s condition to be affected! ”
At the same time, Qiantang City, Tianyuan Center Building.
Tianyuan, a world famous player, couldn't help but refute some comments made by current national players about Lei Qi's recent sluggish state.
“Eh...is it that exaggerated?
“I feel like it’s only such a big deal if I lose the title in my hand...” Just defended the title of [National Player] Xiong Siyi still said he didn't fully understand.
Well, yes.
In the two national championship games on the 10th and 12th, Xiong Siyi won two games in a row very cleanly, which already made the current Yixian go back to his home in Dongjiang and shut himself up. At the same time, it also adds another piece of evidence to Sun Yi's "Strength and Weakness Identifier" attribute.
However, Xiong Siyi, who successfully defended the title of [National Player], did not go home to rest like Sun Yi. Instead, he came directly to Qiantang City to stay for two days, and then planned to go directly to Gezhou to participate in the event that officially started the day after tomorrow. "Tong Ge Cup".
Although he has to take the high-speed train to Gezhou tomorrow morning, today Xiong Siyi still happily asked Tianyuan celebrities to take him to Tianyuan Center Building.
So the two of them were waiting and chatting next to the competition venue arranged on the 16th floor of the building.
While chatting, the conversation came to Lei Qi's recent extremely bad state.
"...You are an exception! Moreover, the title of [National Player], which only has a history of three years, is completely incomparable with [Chess Saint], the symbol of the best person in the country..."
See Looking at Silly Heitian who was in a great state of mind in front of him, Ni Jue could only sigh.
“You have to know that the title of [Chess Saint], in terms of prize money and influence, is not missed by all the top chess players in the country! Even Dai Gong, who has never paid much attention to domestic individual competitions, I played with all my strength in the Holy Chess Tournament.
“I’m just used to it, and I really can’t argue, but if Lin Ruixin proposed to take his [Chess Master] and the [Chess Master] in my hand. Celebrity】【Tian Yuan】One for two, I agree without even blinking!
“So, with so many people watching, the title of [Chess Saint], let alone the title itself, is extremely difficult to win just as a challenger!
"Even if he is as strong as Vice Chairman Lu, he only won it once in 2009. So far, only Lao Lei has had two opportunities to challenge the 9th dan. In the end, he was kicked out 3-0 and 3-1, and he didn't even have a chance in the decisive game. Played!
"Lao Lei Jiudan was very depressed when he lost the first chess holy war. His wife was about to give birth in more than a month, and he often stayed alone in his room, autistic. It made his lover feel very worried about this matter now!
“For such an important title, Xiao Lei is already leading 2 to 1 and is about to get it. In this state, he has fallen short... I guess the only one who can come out immediately is you, Xiao Xiong!”< br>
"That's it..."
Speaking of this, the current national player seems to finally understand:
"But it's a pity. Who would have thought that Lin Ruixin could hide such a powerful flying knife!"
"It ended up being the decisive game. Xiaolei was probably too young and too nervous... That game of chess was played well. It's really out of style. "
Hearing what Xiong Siyi said, Tian Yuan, a famous person who knew the inside story, was a little helpless.
He knew that although the "big flying shoulder charge" did make Lei Qi lose A match point, but judging from the contact with Lei Qi after the game, the young man's mentality was not affected at all
Especially after he told the opponent that Lin Ruixin must only have this top-notch flying knife! < br>
But what happened next was completely out of everyone's control...
More than a month has passed since then. It seems that all the storms have been settled, and Lei Qi's performance during the competition was as usual.
In the first round of the national championship that day, Lei Qi, who already knew that Ni Jue was an insider of the whole incident, still behaved very normally. He was also very polite when facing Ni Jue's apology, saying that he had prepared it entirely by himself. It's a careless question, and there is absolutely no intention of blaming it.
But external performance can be disguised, but results and level cannot deceive others.
Ni Jue immediately reviewed Lei Qi's two games on the siege. As a master of the world, he immediately knew that this young man's condition might not have been adjusted yet!
Therefore, in the first round of the national championship, Ni Jue took two imperceptible steps depending on the situation, hoping that a victory could help the youngster regain some confidence.
But obviously, Ni Jue’s wish failed.
Lei Qi's performance was still poor in the top 16 of the national championship. This made Ni Jue even more sure that the impact of the fifth game of the Chess Holy War on Lei Qi has not yet been eliminated!
After realizing this, Ni Jue couldn't help but feel a little worried - worried about his only junior sister!
You know, Rui Zhao is also very concerned about the last game of the chess holy war, so there is a scene where the new first paragraph directly calls Lin Ruixin for formation when instructing chess.
But if it happens now, Lei Qi may not come out yet. If something happens between the two of them, God knows how much Rui Zhao will be affected.
Hmm...
...When you meet the junior sister later, let her be more careful in the future and try not to provoke Lei Qi.
Celebrity Tianyuan decided secretly.
At this moment, Xiong Siyi suddenly cheered, pulling Ni Jue out of his thoughts.
"Ah! Ni Jue, look! Rui Zhao and the others are here!"
At the entrance of the venue, a group of people filed in - it was the leader and three members of the Dongjiang Women's Team!
Yes, the reason why Xiong Siyi enthusiastically asked Ni Jue to take him to the Tianyuan Center Building today is because in the eleventh round of the Women’s League, the Dongjiang team’s away game against the Zhejiang and Hangzhou teams is about to take place. This is held.
As for the current national players, they have long wanted to get to know the Dongjiang team's second team, who is known as the "strongest new first-level player in history."
