Chapter 229 The most unbearable thing to lose
“What? You said you want to replace Lei Qi?!”
August 22, 7:45 am, Dajing City, China Go association.
Lu Wenjie, who had just heard Shang Chaotian’s thoughts, was shocked.
“No, Brother Tian, how could you have such an idea!
"Don't you know that qualifying for the Nongshim Cup is a very sensitive matter for Lei Qi and his family?! If this guy removes Lei Qi's qualifications for the Nongshim Cup, don't you worry that Old Lei Jiuduan will argue with you!"< br>
"Don't be anxious! I just said, tell Lao Lei this plan and let him persuade his son."
Shang Chaotian frowned and said:
"Originally ...I don’t want to tell Lao Lei about this situation yet, but Lei Qi has been going too far recently!
“More than a month has passed since the chess holy war! It was time for me to explain to him, and it was time for me to apologize to him. I even tolerated his temper during the game!
"But what about him? It's okay to bet on Qi for two games! But this time before participating in the Tongge Cup, I specifically beat him up, but he still said that he was in a bad state and couldn't use 'flow'. I even said It’s so serious that he’s still quibbling! Are you still waiting for the Nongshim Cup? Lu Wenjie's expression did not relax at all.
After Lei Qi lost two games in a row in the first and second rounds of Siege A, he had already realized that something was not quite right about the future number one player.
At that time, he also told Shang Chaotian his worries. Shang Chaotian meant that Lei Qi could adjust himself, so he didn't ask any more questions after that.
But now it seems that after more than half a month, Lei Qina's situation has not improved at all, but has become more serious, so much so that Shang Chaotian, who has always been steady, rarely loses his temper.
Lu Wenjie thought for a while and said carefully:
"Brother Tian, you said Lei Qi didn't play seriously? This... I think this statement is not enough!
"This kid has always been They are very responsible, even if they are still emotional, they will not make fun of their official competition! "
Shang Chaotian still shook his head angrily:
"Huh? Then why doesn’t he use ‘flow’? Why don't you just demonstrate to me because of Rui Zhao? ”
"There is no need for 'flow'... Could it be that it is really because I am psychologically affected and cannot use it?"
"So, even Chu Jun can lose?"
Shang Chaotian disagreed:
"Wenjie, even if Xiaolei doesn't have 'flow', he definitely has the strength of a nine-dan chess player!
"He can even lose to Chu Jun. This It can only mean that he is obsessed with me! ”
Although Shang Chaotian's explanation sounded logical, Lu Wenjie, who had personally experienced the Bai Yinhua incident, could clearly smell something wrong at this time.
Some things seem to be calm, but once they explode suddenly, they may not be able to end!
"Brother Tian, I think this matter may need to be more cautious and fully considered."
Lu Wenjie slowly considered his words.
"Just like Bai Yinhua, I thought it was just that I didn't turn the corner for a while, and it would be fine if I took it slow..."
Hearing this, Shang Chaotian couldn't help being startled, and his expression that was quite annoyed just now suddenly became subtle:
"...No way?
"Lei Qi, this kid has been growing up since he was a child. Da has always been well-behaved, but this time he is showing off his temper. He can't cause any big trouble, can he? "
"Brother Tian, I think this kind of sensitive matter should not be taken lightly. ”
Lu Wenjie still advised:
"When Xiaobai was still playing chess, he worked very hard."
"...Then you mean to let Lei Qi continue to be so angry and even bet on the Nongshim Cup?!"
< br>"Whether it's because of anger or not, we can't decide based on our own feelings."
Seeing that Shang Chaotian was still a little stubborn, Lu Wenjie frowned again.
Although the leader of my family can be said to be dedicated to the public and selfless, sometimes... he does show a hint of stubbornness.
At this time, as my deputy, if I should stand up, I should stand up!
Lu Wenjie suggested as calmly as possible:
"I personally suggest that since it is a psychological problem, professionals need to intervene.
"Brother Tian, do you know anyone? A psychiatrist? I think you can ask for his opinion first and make an appointment with Xiaolei if necessary. Maybe you can find the source of the problem. "
"Yes...there is. "Shang Chaotian pursed his lips and said.
Competitive sports are extremely cruel, so the General Administration has a lot of psychological treatment and counseling resources, and Shang Chaotian is naturally familiar with some of them.
"...Then I will give Lao Lei a contact number and ask him to take Lei Qi to have a look."
Lu Wenjie directly rejected this proposal:
" Brother Tian, I think it would be more appropriate for you to take the time to communicate with the doctor face to face before deciding what to do.
"I always feel that the situation is not right anymore, just because you suggested Lei Qi go. Seeing a psychiatrist may give him extremely bad psychological hints. ”
"Is it that serious?"
Shang Chaotian asked subconsciously.
Seeing that Shang Chaotian didn't seem to prioritize this matter, Lu Wenjie's tone couldn't help but become more serious:
"The worst case scenario is that Xiaolei stops playing chess. Like Bai Yinhua. If it doesn't matter to you, Brother Tian, I have no problem with it.
"But I personally think that among all the chess players now, the one we most cannot afford to lose is Xiao Lei.
"I think all the senior officials of the Chess Association should agree on this, including you, Brother Tian."
At this point, the expression on Shang Chaotian's face changed several times.
Finally after a long silence, he finally calmed down and nodded slowly:
"...Well, you are right. I will contact you right away. .”
…
..."Lei Qi, what's happened to him recently...Chairman Shang is probably going crazy with such a situation!"
At the same time, Dongjiang Caiqiao Railway Station.
On the G6 train from Dongjiang to Dajing, Cheng Yuyang, who had just taken his seat, sighed deeply as he watched Lei Qi lose to Chu Jun in the first round of the Tongge Cup on the screen.
He has analyzed this game many times in the past few days and can say with certainty:
Although Chu Jun could see that he was holding back his energy in this game, the main reason why he was able to win was that Lei Qi's current state did encounter a big problem. This also made him quite worried about his childhood playmate.
At this time, a voice from the side interjected:
"Old Cheng, you have been in unrequited love for almost ten years, and you are still chasing someone?"
This voice Cheng Yuyang was naturally familiar with the sixteen-year-old Gan Yuan sitting next to him.
As brothers who were in the same dojo and qualified in the same year, they went back to Dajing City to participate in the new preliminary stage competition of the "Original Nineteenth Cup", so naturally they were together.
"Get lost!"
Faced with his junior brother's teasing, Cheng Yuyang, as the big brother of the "repealer", naturally did not save him any face.
"Labor and management are concerned about the future of our Chinese Go game, you know what it is!
"If there is a problem with Lei Qi's state, will Chu Jun be relied on to win against Liu Shixian in the future?
"Let me put it here! If Lei Qi's state continues to be sluggish, Liu Shixian will dominate for another ten years! Do you believe it or not?"
"Xin, Xin!"
Gan Yuan raised his eyebrows and responded.
Of course, there is nothing to argue about.
Since the "post-00s" generation, Chinese Go talents have begun to wither. This is an indisputable fact.
Compared with the abundant talents of the "post-90s" national chess players, the group of "post-00s and pre-05s" chess players are indeed not very good overall.
So far, there are only three ninth-level masters, Xiong Siyi, Sun Yi, and Ji Qiufuan, who together can only hold one world championship.
This result...how should I put it?
Even considering the age of the youngest Little Bear, who is twenty-one and a half years old, Guanglin, the Great Chess Sage, has already won four crowns at this age.
Of course, this situation is actually understandable.
Go is too hard to practice, and the price/performance ratio is really not good compared to studying.
Nowadays, living conditions are generally better and there are more choices. It seems that more children are exposed to Go, but in fact there are significantly fewer children who are willing to work hard at Go. It is inevitable that talents will wither. South Korea and Japan are basically in the same situation.
Originally, if everyone dies together, there is nothing special to be nervous about. In a sense, it can alleviate the involution.
But the problem is:
The first person in the world, he is a post-00s generation.
Yes, Ryu Se-hyun was born in February 2000 and is still under 24 years old.
The existence of such a fact makes the senior officials of the Chess Association very uneasy.
If China can still rely on the masters born in the 1990s who have not yet aged, it will be strong enough to compete with the world's number one.
When the chess players born in the 1990s age, and those born in the 1990s whose thickness and sharpness are not ideal, come to the forefront, they will be completely ignored by Liu Shixian, who has strong perseverance and self-control.
In the worst case scenario, the young master of the Liu family might be able to rule the world chess world for another ten years!
This fact can be said to be difficult to accept for Chinese Go.
However, the growth of a teenager born in 2005 has greatly alleviated this worry.
Winning the World Championship at the age of seventeen and a half has a precedent in China - the fastest record is Lang Haishen's 16 years and eight months.
But what Lei Qi did was not just win the world championship.
After winning the championship, its results in the first half of the year are still making great progress! Three to zero against Sun Yi, one to two against Xiong Si, and two to zero against Dai Ran. He directly won the right to challenge for the most important title of "Chess Saint" in the country among a group of strong opponents!
At such a young age, Lei Qi is indeed the only one who has established himself as the top two in the country with undisputed record!
Even the two seven-time champions have never done it!
More importantly, Lei Qi is five and a half years younger than Liu Shixian.
This means that even if the overall level of Xiaolei's 9th dan will not reach the level of Ryu Shixian in the future, as long as he does not fall too far behind, he can still shoulder the heavy responsibility of competing with him for a long time. He can even directly dominate the world chess world where each generation is worse than the previous generation when the opponent grows old!
Not to mention that judging from the development of this young man, it is probably not necessary to wait for Ryu Shixian to retire from his peak.
…
However, for Gan Yuan, he knew that Cheng Yuyang was just using these high-sounding statements to cover himself.
So after raising the pitch and responding twice, he still added angrily:
“But you have been watching this game since the night of the 17th, and you have been watching it for almost a month. It’s Sunday!
“Even if they are a few couples in the professional circle, it’s not that outrageous to watch each other’s chess, right? "
"Get out! ”
Following Cheng Yuyang's roar, the teenagers in seats 8B and 8C of Car 1 suddenly made a fuss.
That's it... Li Jingzhe, who was sitting in the 8D seat next to him, was a little confused for a moment.
It took me so long to swipe seats before I got 1 car and 8D...
I was still happy at the time... No, I was not happy. But it's always good to have a chance to make up for the impression.
But now...
Are you from Rui Zhao? !
Hey, going out to play really has a great impact on coding.
In addition, regarding the recent situation where Go talent is not as good as the previous generation, this reality also exists, and interested experts can also learn about it.
