Chapter 300 Desserts
"...Brother Li, you are in good shape lately!"
November 29, 6:20 in the evening.
South Korea, Kyoto Road, Konji Resort.
Ryu Se-hyun, who had just finished reviewing the second game of the LIG Cup final with Lee Jung-yeon, said to his opponent in the final without any grudges.
"Ah...
"It's pretty...ok! "
Li Tingyan, who has an overall calm and reserved personality, replied modestly.
Objectively speaking, Li Tingyan does feel that he has adjusted well during this period.
As a long-term professional, The former South Korean men's Go leader who has gone through the battlefield and won four world championships (although he is the weakest leader since the world championship era). At the age of thirty, he has become increasingly aware of how to allocate his limited energy. At the same time, Optimize your performance when necessary
That's right...
Although I have indeed made a lot of preparations for the LIG Cup this time, but...
"...Xiaoliu, have you been in bad shape recently?"
< br>Hearing Li Tingyan’s words, Liu Shixian couldn’t help but be stunned, and naturally replied:
“Huh? I think it’s okay!”
"But, your performance in this game just now is not as good as before...otherwise, I wouldn't have won."
Hearing this, Master Xiaoliu couldn't help laughing:
"Hey, Brother Li!
"Isn't it normal for some Go games to be unplayed? Every once in a while I lose a low-level set! ”
Is this...
Li Tingyan couldn't help but pursed his lower lip.
Although from a personal point of view, he really doesn’t want his opponent in the final to be in too good shape - for professional chess players, every world championship is a great honor. If you say you don’t want to win the world championship, that’s definitely not the case. Fake.
But... if Liu Shixian is in average condition, facing the fierce Chinese team that has not lost a single player, Li Tingyan doesn’t think that his thirty-year-old arms and legs can stop the Chinese masters in the arena. Indiscriminate bombing.
When Li Tingyan was slightly worried, he saw the young master of the Liu family patting him on the shoulder lightly and saying:
"Of course, if Brother Li thinks that my current condition is not enough to serve as the commander-in-chief, If so, I can go to the challenge tomorrow! I can just discuss the situation with the organizing committee and change the time of the third game of the finals!
"I have analyzed a lot of Lei Qi's games recently. It would be a pity not to use it!
"It just so happens that there is still some time before the opening ceremony at 7pm. I will rush to Buzhou early tomorrow morning, and the afternoon game will also be held. There's still time..."
"Xiao Liu, don't mess around! "
Li Tingyan scolded the youngest and best player in the team:
"Just leave Lei Qi's words to Min Lie!
"He just defeated Lei Qi in the LIG Cup, and he also wants to help Xiang Heng regain his place in the Nongshim Cup. I believe there will be no problem!"
Hearing Li Tingyan's words, Liu Shixian He couldn't help but show a helpless expression of "Sure enough", shrugged slightly and said:
"...I understand, Brother Li.
"In the first game... let Brother Min Lie Come on. ”
…
…
The first scene... No matter how you look at it, it can only be Da Pu!
At the same time, in Lei Qi’s room at Buzhou Nongshim Hotel.
The boy who had just turned off the live broadcast of the LIG Cup finals immediately opened an EXCEL spreadsheet he had prepared long ago and began to think deeply.
This EXCEL is quite simple. In fact, it is the opponent that the boy expects to encounter in the second stage and...
...the opponent Rui Zhao expected to face.
There are five games in the second stage. Whether it is the Nongshim Cup or the Lakeside Cup, South Korea and Japan each have three players left.
The only difference is the order of attack between the two countries.
My side is "Han Ying Han Ying Han", while Rui Zhaona is just the opposite, "Ying Han Ying Han Ying" - if they can keep winning.
According to previous analysis, it is speculated that in the Lakeside Cup, the Japanese women's team will undoubtedly send their female Ryu Sang Sora (title name) - Sanada Asa 5th Dan.
Judging from past results, Sanada Asa is generally on the same level as several domestic women's sixth-dan. If it had been two months ago, Lei Qi would have thought this game was very suspenseful, and maybe Rui Zhao would have lost!
But now... the young world champion doesn't dare to predict like this anymore.
Because of the recent Women’s Masters Tournament and Dongjiang Jianqiao Cup... Rui Zhao has never lost to many women’s 6th Dan!
Although the overall sample is not large, if you consider that the Chinese Women's Pioneer continuously crushed them in the three sets of the first stage of the arena, this is already telling!
Since I can't count on Sanada Asa, I have to win Dapu tomorrow...
Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but have a headache.
The current active chess players in South Korea, regardless of their previous results and possible future achievements, just looking at the current overall competitive level, the top four are generally recognized as "Liu Xu and Li Pu".
However, except for Ryu Shixian who is the only one in the group, the gap between the other three is not big. It depends on the status of the actual match.
Just like this LIG Cup, Lei Qi originally thought that he should have the upper hand against Park Min-yeol, but he was taken away by the opponent in one fell swoop, which is enough to show that he has been in good condition recently.
Obviously I have eliminated all the top two teams in Japan in the first stage, and even defeated Lao Xu who came with a knife...
In the end, my situation was not optimistic...
After clarifying the "competition situation", the young man who was unwilling to be left behind couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Unfortunately, complaining cannot solve the problem.
After feeling indignant for a few seconds, the young man cheered himself up.
...It's okay, I have been studying Dapu a lot these days.
I believe there will be no problem...right?
Recalling the game of chess he lost to Park Min-yeol a few days ago, Lei Qi still felt uneasy. Without saying anything, he called up his opponent's recent game records and prepared to start studying countermeasures again.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Hmm...who is this?
Lei Qi couldn't help but wonder: He didn't make an appointment or order room service tonight.
He just asked the outsider, but found that it seemed unnecessary.
If you are a hotel staff, they cannot understand Chinese.
If it were Lu Wenjie or Jiao Kai, then his question would seem slightly rude.
Lei Qi ran through his thoughts quickly, and finally felt that it would be more appropriate to open the door directly. However, when the young man opened the door, he was shocked:
“Rui Zhao?!”
"Lei Qi 9th Dan!"
Seeing the other party open the door, the girl in front of him immediately smiled.
“Hello, long time no see!
“Um...I originally wanted to try my best to meet at the Masters, but I lost to Fang Zhaoxiang 8th Dan in the third round of preliminaries. Able to return home early. Sure enough, it’s still too difficult for me to enter the Unlimited Title Tournament with my current strength..."
However, how could Lei Qi have the time to talk about these things at this time! He immediately asked:
"No! What's the matter with you coming to me now?"
"Ah..."
Faced with such a direct question, Zhao The queen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but she still responded politely:
"Well, um... I just arrived today, so I have to say hello to everyone who arrived first!
"After getting off the plane, I was blocked by a lot of reporters for a long time. It took me two or three hours to escape from the airport, and I just came here now...
"I'm surprised. , why are they staring at me, a second-level chess player! Obviously there are masters like you, Lei Qi Jiudan, who are more worthy of being interviewed!
“Next time I must ask Chairman Xia Shang how to hide from these media reporters...”
Although Rui Zhao’s eyes were naive and clear when he said this, it seemed that he really Very confused about this.
But in Lei Qi’s opinion...
These words still sound very ironic.
The young man responded lukewarmly:
"Well...
"Since I have said hello, if nothing happens, I will continue to practice chess. ”
Before he finished speaking, Lei Qi was about to close the door.
Hanhan didn't see anything wrong, so he hurriedly rushed forward and blocked the doorway:
"Wait for Lei Qi 9th Dan!
"I also brought you some snacks! Take it first! "
"Huh?
"Some... heart?"
Lei Qi couldn't help but stop what he was doing, and Rui Zhao quickly raised the handbag he had been carrying in front of Lei Qi:
"Well! I heard Teacher Lei before... ah no! Lei and Lei Jiuduan said that you love Dongjiang’s traditional pastries!
“After finishing the LIG Cup recently, haven’t you been staying in South Korea!
"I thought for such a long time that you might not have anything delicious to eat, so before I went to the airport this morning, I bought some snacks and brought them over! See if they suit your taste!"
"Ah..."
Looking at the handbag in front of him that smelled of sweet snacks, Lei Qi was a little stunned for a moment.
He never expected that the other party would actually do something like this! So there is no response plan at all.
To be honest, Lei Qi was a little reluctant to accept the kindness of his "competitor".
But he also understands that if someone comes all the way to bring something to him, he has no other choice but to accept it honestly - otherwise he will look rude and lose his place.
"Well...that, that, thank you."
After two seconds of silence, the young man took the snack and expressed his gratitude. Finally, he did not forget to add hastily:
"Um... is there anything you want? I'll get back next time." Here you go.”
“No need! It’s just a small thing!”
The girl waved her hands and showed a cute smile.
Lei Qi, who did not want to owe the other party any favors, continued to insist:
"It's just a courtesy. I'll feel bad if you don't tell me. Don't make it difficult for me!"
Rui Zhao blinked and then asked carefully:
"Then, then... …
“The self-commentary of the chess game with Xu Xiangheng’s 9th Dan that we agreed on last time… Lei Qi 9th Dan, do you think it’s convenient now? I see that you haven’t mentioned this matter since you returned to China, so I didn’t dare to disturb you...”
Zi, Zi Zhan Commentary?!
The young man couldn't help but fell silent for a while, speechless.
Please...
Can you, an eighteen-year-old girl, think of something other than Go? !
"...No, can't it?"
Seeing that Lei Qi didn't speak for a long time, Go Hanhan couldn't help but ask carefully.
Lei Qicai sighed and said:
"Of course not now... I have to prepare for the match with Dapu the day after tomorrow."
"Ah! That's right!"
Only then did the girl react:
"Yes, I'm sorry! I disturbed your chess practice!"
Lei Qi replied with a hint of sharpness, but with a hint of sharpness:
"It's okay, it's not a big problem.
"We'll talk about it together when I win these few games of chess. Bar! "
After a brief pause, Zhao Tianhou understood the meaning and nodded with bright eyes and said:
"Yes!
"I will definitely continue my winning streak like Lei Qi 9th Dan tomorrow!"
...So I am not encouraging you! You don’t have to work so hard!
Lei Qi was speechless for a while, but he didn’t want to feel like punching cotton again.
After a few simple words of agreement, he thanked her again, closed the door, and placed the snacks on the small table in the room.
However, at this time, the young man felt a little strange in his heart.
