Chapter 239 Undefeated so far
“Woo hoo...little squirrel...my little squirrel!
“My dream last night was full of little squirrels...”
August 29, 12:30 noon
Changbaifeng Qilu Resort Town
The little witch who appeared at the opening ceremony of the "2023 Chinese Women's Go League A·Changbaifeng Station" today had a look of resentment on her face, and she kept talking incessantly.
Like the men's siege, the women's siege also has an arrangement similar to that in Bianzhou for unified competition in one place - even the number is only much larger.
There are a total of 18 rounds of double round robin for the women's siege. Rounds 1 to 4, 13 to 14, and 15 to 18 are all held at the same location in the form of sub-station matches. There are even more rounds held at the same time than at home and away.
The reason for this is also very simple: to reduce the financial burden on each team and reduce the overall expenditure of the event.
After all, the game of Go is too unappreciative in this era. From a purely commercial perspective, no team can really make a profit at all. They all have to rely on chess association bonuses or sponsoring companies (and local governments). Appropriations survive.
Under such a general background, it is necessary to minimize the expenditure of each team.
One of the methods adopted by the Chess Association is to reduce the number of rounds that need to be held at each team's home court and organize more concentrated games to "reduce the burden" on each team.
…
Seeing the situation of their three Taiwanese teammates, Liu Yuhong and Wang Haocheng, who did not arrive at the resort until 4pm yesterday, did not know what was going on.
But when asked, Yang Manjing just pursed his lips and said nothing for a while. The two of them could only secretly lament that the child had reached the rebellious stage again.
However, it is a sigh of relief, and we still have to do the pre-game mobilization that needs to be done.
"Jing Jing, you can worry about some things before the game, but you have to focus on these two days of competition!"
Wang Haocheng decisively carried out pre-game ideological mobilization, for fear that his little fairy would be affected What shouldn't be stimulated? The inexplicable overturn happened again in the last Wuyue Cup audition.
After all, there is a vicious wolf chasing behind our team. At this critical moment, every point is very precious.
However, what Wang Haocheng didn't expect was that the little witch was very full of fighting spirit at this time.
Even a little...
Too full.
"Yeah, of course!"
Yang Manjing first responded quickly to Wang Haocheng's words, and then asked eagerly:
"Um...Sister Wang, Can I discuss something with you? ”
"Well, tell me!"
The little witch immediately pouted and put on a fierce look:
"In the last round of this year's armor siege, can I win? Ertai? I must give Sister Juan Wang a beating!”
“Sister Juan, Juan Wang?”
Wang Haocheng didn’t react when he heard this title.
"That Rui Zhao!"
Yang Manjing said angrily:
"I know how to practice chess every day. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is the king of rolls!"
Uh, girl, you got the point wrong!
Didn’t everyone know that Rui Zhao was the Juan King before she decided to marry her?
The expression on the second station of the Suhu team was a little distorted for a moment.
The main thing is... Is it really appropriate for Jing Jing to call someone eldest sister? !
Rui Zhao, an 18-year-old girl who is as pretty as a star and looks like a star, is called "eldest sister", so what should I be called as a thirty-two-year-old girl like me?
Auntie?
But the little witch didn’t pay much attention to Wang Haocheng’s expression changes:
"Really...We've come to Changbai Peak. Why are we practicing chess! As a result, I couldn't feed myself into a little squirrel yesterday afternoon..."
The little witch immediately complained, and it was this complaint that brought Wang Haocheng to I can’t figure it out:
There are just too many messy things, right? !
Can’t you go by yourself? You must keep an eye on Rui Zhao!
However, Wang Haocheng still knows this when he is coaxing his children to refrain from complaining.
Especially in today's league where no single point can be missed.
"Well... of course it is possible."
Wang Haocheng pretended to think seriously.
"But Jingjing, you have to know that team competitions must be considered as a whole, not one person's business!"
"Ah..."
The little witch lowered her head in despair.
But at this time Wang Haocheng changed the subject:
"...But if you win all the way to the last round, then I guess the team will consider this matter, right?"
This sharp bend almost made the little witch dodge. She immediately opened her eyes wide and confirmed excitedly:
“Really?!”
"Of course! This shows that you are fully capable of playing in the second stage!"
"Great!"
Yang Manjing immediately cheered, full of energy.
The old grudge for snatching away Sister Yu Hong in the distance, the new grudge against the little squirrel for not seeing the little squirrel recently... These accounts must be settled!
The little witch vowed to win all the way to the last round, and then beat "Sister Juan Wangrui" to vent her hatred!
Liu Yuhong, who was on the side, was a little worried when he saw this posture. He quickly pulled Wang Haocheng aside and asked:
"Sister Wang, is this... really good?
"Our last game The Dongjiang team may be directly related to this year's league championship. Is it appropriate for you to agree to Jingjing like this? "
Wang Haocheng shrugged and said
"There's nothing inappropriate, right?
"In the second half of the league last year, Jingjing's strength was very close to mine. It was entirely because I was older and more stable that she put me in the second station.
"And this year she has even won against Xia Chuan. Kui has entered the semi-finals of the Wuyue Cup. I don’t think it’s strange for the team to let her move to the second stage anytime. "
"Sister Wang, I'm not talking about this! "
The worry on Liu Yuhong's face remains undiminished.
"I mean, in the final game, if you only need to ensure that the leader and the three units win to win the championship, then what? The bad thing is that it would be most appropriate for Jingjing to be the last one! ”
"That's okay..." Wang Haocheng said calmly:
"If this situation really happens, we know, how can the Dongjiang team not know?
"We They want to ensure that the second and third platforms have at least one victory, but the Dongjiang team will naturally try to fight for opportunities in the formation of troops. If not, they will use a trick to let Rui Zhao go to the third platform, and then it will become a chain of suspicion... In this way, the two sides play games repeatedly. Otherwise, the arrangement of the stage becomes a matter of luck.
"Anyway, Jing Jing just hopes to face Rui Zhao. When the time comes, we will talk about the situation and explain it clearly - it's a matter of betting on luck. If you don't win, you can't blame us! It's not that I want to Regretful!”
Liu Yuhong thought about it carefully and found that this was really the case!
Thinking... is really thorough.
Queen Mulan had to secretly lament that although she had taken the lead in terms of chess ability, Sister Wang's departure from the team after the end of the season was probably a big loss for the Suhu team.
But...
Now may not be the time to think about the end of the season...
Queen Mulan swallowed subconsciously, then glanced at the fighting little witch and the three Dongjiang women's team members not far away, then bit her lips and became more serious.
…
…
[The women’s siege Changbaifeng station ends, Suhu Dongjiang scored nine points each, and the strongest new first-stage Ruizhao League has not lost a single game so far! 】
August 31, 7:30 in the morning.
In Dongjiang City, Dongjiang Garden Community, Lei Qi, who was having breakfast, saw the headlines of Yiguo News, and his eyes froze slightly.
That Rui Zhao won two more games...
And he won on the second set.
The young man who no longer stepped down as a general felt a strange emotion in his heart.
To be honest, Lei Qi, who already knows the whole story, doesn’t have any strong dislike for this girl who is called the "Strongest New First Dan" - even though the last one was called the "Strongest New First Dan" The one in the first stage is himself.
After all, people know nothing from the beginning to the end, and there is no subjective malice at all. And when it comes to playing chess, I can indeed play well...
...Well, it's not bad.
...It is indeed better than when I first decided to become a member.
As a professional chess player, Lei Qi has to admit this fact no matter what.
But as a star player that Shang Chaotian insisted on pushing despite ignoring his feelings, and also the girl who once pushed him to lose, it is difficult for Lei Qi to completely treat this beautiful girl. Neglected.
"Son, what, what's wrong? Why did you stop eating all of a sudden..."
At this time, Lei Jingming's cautious words reached Lei Qi's ears.
Since Lei Qi's sudden emotional outburst a few days ago, this capable old man who had always made mistakes in details in the past has become extremely cautious in front of his son. I was afraid of irritating my son again.
Even... so cautious that it makes people feel a little distressed.
Lei Qi felt a little pinched in his heart and immediately replied with a smile:
"Dad, I've just finished eating! Don't be so nervous!"
Then the young man put his bowls and chopsticks away in the kitchen, returned to the living room and carried the luggage he had packed last night.
...Well, don't worry about Lei Qi.
Your task now is to do your own thing well.
Since dad is finally on his side this time, he must not be disappointed again no matter what!
After the young man recited silently in his heart, he then said to his parents with determination:
"Dad, Mom! I'm ready to leave!"
"I will go home as long as I have a chance!" "
At this time, Qin Xiaoxue took the initiative to step forward and hug Lei Qi:
"Son, you must not force yourself outside. If you feel pressured to play, just tell your mother, even if you don't play chess. It doesn’t matter, you absolutely can’t hold on! ”
"Well, don't worry, Mom! It's my fault for making you worry this time... I won't do this kind of thing again in the future."
After hugging his mother, Lei Qi looked at his father.
However, Lei Jingming was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to do.
Lei Qi pursed his lips subconsciously, and then hugged him without saying a word:
"...Dad, this time it's all my fault, don't worry about it. I'm just...right I just don’t like what Chairman Shang is doing.
"And...
"Thank you for understanding me. "
Lao Lei Jiuduan bit his lip at this time and quickly hugged his son in front of him:
"It's okay, it's okay son, Dad understands you!
“I couldn’t do many things in the past without my thinking... Forgive me, Dad?”
"I can't say... Dad! As long as we communicate well!"
Lei Qi patted his father on the back again, and then slowly let go.
"Then...I'm leaving!"
"Don't you really need us to drive him down?" Qin Xiaoxue asked again.
"No need, Mom! I'm an adult! You don't have to keep looking at us!
"Let's go! Goodbye, parents!"
Lei Qi replied with a smile, then walked out of the house and strode towards the entrance of the community.
But his smile gradually faded, replaced by a more serious expression.
Well... we can't disappoint our parents.
And...
You can't...let Chairman Shang see your own joke.
When he thought of this, the boy's already hurried pace became even faster.
Continue to lie down, anyway... well, the plot is just like this. I really can't change it, and I still need to express it clearly.
