"Then...Mr. Wu, please come back to Channel 2 for this game!"
On the same day, at 12:45 noon, Multifunctional Hall 106 of Zhujin Guest House.
The focus battle between Pohu team and Dongjiang team in the first round of this Women's League A will be held here.
Before the game, the captain Zou Yang came to Wu Yueyun and gave him one last instruction.
“Well, it’s okay.”
The old lady smiled and responded:
"To be honest, although I am old, I always hope to fight against stronger opponents.
"I can play the second stage again, I It’s something you can’t ask for. ”
After the Fan Kong War, the completely unexpected news that Rui Zhao left the team was placed in front of the Dongjiang Women’s Team, and team manager Shao Hui immediately began to strengthen the lineup.
But... last offseason, he racked his brains and finally came up with Xu Nanying. Naturally, it is difficult to achieve better results this time.
Finally, after going round and round, it seemed that only Xiao Nanying, who had collaborated with him before, was the best choice. The relationship between the two sides continued, and the Dongjiang team's main lineup returned to what it was at the beginning of last season.
But... fortunately, after more than half a year, Xiao Nanying's strength has reached a higher level. Not only has he been promoted to the third level in South Korea, but his overall strength is not far behind Wu Lao. He is already considered an absolute top player in the third level, which can be said to be a great reinforcement.
Considering that the three reinforcements from old rival Su Huna are not going well, this also makes Little Sheep have some expectations for defending the title again.
“Well, that’s up to you!”
…
After the stages were arranged, the three members of the Dongjiang team prepared to take the stage.
Mr. Wu glanced at Xu Nanying next to him and saw that she, who had just traveled all the way from South Korea yesterday, did not look tired at all, but looked full of fighting spirit, so he asked in South Korean:
"Nanying...you are very eager to try today!"
"Huh? Ah..."
Xu Nanying was obviously surprised when Wu Yueyun suddenly asked him before the game, but Still nodded vigorously:
"A must!
"To be honest, although my substitution was the key reason why the team won the championship last season, it is irrefutable. But as the one who was replaced, I still have some self-respect!
“Although my frontal strength is still far behind Rui Zhao’s sixth level, facing her team, I naturally hope to show my strength and work hard to help the team win the championship!”
< br>This kid was not that motivated last season...
It seems... he is indeed stimulated!
The old lady nodded slightly, gave the rookie a few words of encouragement, and then walked to her game table.
At this time, the petite Japanese second-dan chess player Saka Rei was sitting opposite with a little restraint.
Actually, for the Pohu team, although Rei Uesaka is the nominal second channel, the Pohu team has already made an agreement with Uesaka before signing the contract. The specific number of channels may vary depending on the situation. change.
Lu Shijia’s 5th dan was the old 5th dan before the Chinese Go ranking reform in 2016. The rank was very valuable, and his strength at that time was basically the same as that of male players of the same rank.
So even though she is older now, she is still as weak as a man. It's considered mid-range among Ertai chess players, but it's a bit fanciful to compete with the Suhu and Dongjiang teams, so Gong Quanzhen keeps asking for reinforcements.
And Kogamisaka's strength... is more of a duality between gods and ghosts.
When she performs well, she even beats many high-level Japanese male chess players, but when she performs poorly, she is just like an ordinary female rookie chess player in the second or third level, with a huge difference between the upper and lower limits.
Although the stability of Uesaka Rei, who continued to practice hard after the fan-kong battle, seemed to have improved, the Pohu team still planned to let Lu Shijia, who had a small gap between the upper and lower limits, when the opponent's second unit was not too strong. The second station should try its best to maximize its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.
In the first match of the Dongjiang women's team, facing the legendary Wu Yueyun, the Pohu team naturally pulled Kogami Saka to the second stage and tried to give it a try.
Looking at the Japanese girl who was a little nervous in front of him, Mr. Wu couldn't help but smile and greeted her kindly in Japanese.
"It's our first time meeting you, Rei-chan!
"I heard that everyone in Japan calls you that, so it doesn't matter if I call you that! ”
“You, you can speak Japanese? ”
Hearing that the other party spoke Japanese very fluently, Uesaka Rei couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
Although after confirming that she was going to come to China to compete in the women’s armor, the Japanese genius girl I spent some time improving my Chinese skills.
But after all, the time is too short, and it is basically only the most basic daily vocabulary. Most of the time, I have to rely on an assistant hired at home to translate.
So after coming to China, she tried to avoid too much direct communication with people to avoid embarrassment.
Who knew that her opponent in the first match would greet her in Japanese first!
“Why not!”
Wu Yueyun said with a smile:
"In order to be able to play chess, I stayed in Japan for a long time! My apprenticeship was all in Japan!"
"Ah! Yes, yes!"
The young Uesaka Rei finally reacted and quickly apologized with a red face:
"Wu, Wu Jiudan! I'm sorry!
"My father told me about your deeds. Yes, you have always been a role model for me to learn from, and I admire you very much!
"It's just the first time I've come to China to play in the league, and the first time I've seen you, so I'm a little too nervous!"
"Do you admire me..."
Wu Yueyun repeated briefly. After a while, he then asked with a smile:
"Since you admire me so much, why didn't you contact our Dongjiang team first and go to Pohu instead?
"To be fair, for For a Japanese girl like you, Dongjiang is a much more suitable place, right? We have been looking for strong chess players some time ago! ”
"Uh..." Xiao Uesaka looked even more embarrassed now. But she didn't answer for a long time, as if she didn't want to reveal the real reason why she specifically chose the Pohu team.
However, Wu Yueyun did not expose the other party in the end, and directly answered:
"Well! But no matter what your reasons are, I can see that you are willing to come to China to seek I am always very happy to have more training and breakthroughs.
"You are still so young, but the Japanese Chess Academy has made you a focus of publicity early. I actually feel that it is a bit inappropriate.
"However, now I see that you are more responsible and motivated than I thought. It seems that I am worrying too much."
"Ah, thank you! Wu Jiuduan!"
Hearing the other party's praise, Uesaka Rei smiled sheepishly. It seemed that the tension just now was relieved a lot, which also made Wu Yueyun look forward to the upcoming game.
Ah...
Be it Lijiang, Xiao Nanying from our team, or Man Jing from Suhu team...
The next generation of female chess players from all over the world have shown such determination and fighting spirit in the past year...
I wouldn't have dared to think of this a year ago!
Wu Yueyun glanced at Rei Uesaka in front of him, and then at Xu Nanying on his right, feeling quite emotional for a moment.
Finally, she set her sights on the bright girl in front of her left who looked like a jade sculpture. Her eyes flashed for a moment, with endless emotions in her eyes.
At this moment, the referee’s voice came:
"Okay, it's almost time.
"The first round of the 2024 Chinese Women's Go League A match between Pohu Jinlai Environmental Protection and Dongjiang Stars begins now!
“Please be the first to guess first!”
…
…
"Hello, all the die-hard fans of the Queen! This, this is our old friend Zeng Guangwen...
"After a month, I finally meet you all again!
“Today is the opening match of the Queen’s women’s siege. Let us look forward to the Queen’s good start to the new season...”
At the same time, Qiantang City, China.
After one month since the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers, Rui Zhao finally had another match today. As the Queen's loyal subordinate, Zeng Guangwen will naturally not be late, let alone absent.
However, as soon as Zeng Guangwen, who was working hard to start the broadcast, appeared on camera, a lot of question marks instantly floated in the live broadcast room:
[Huh? Who are you, anchor? Where is Zeng Fat? 】
【No! Fatty Zeng, if you don’t broadcast for a month, why have you lost so much weight? I can barely recognize it! 】
【Old Zeng, I see your face is darkened and your cheeks are sunken, you seem to be dying! 】
【Huh? Fatty Zeng was planning to find a girlfriend, so he lost weight? 】
[It may be that I have already found a girlfriend, but was squeezed dry...]
[Broken! Could it be that Fatty Zeng was tired of being treated like a dog by Xiao Zhao? ! 】
【No wonder the sparring session with Xiao Zhao has not been broadcast recently! The dog under the seat is disqualified! 】
【Ah? real? ! 】
【Fat Zeng, if you can't hold it any longer, squeak! I am willing to share the responsibility of being a dog for Xiao Zhao! ! ! 】
Zeng Guangwen took a look at these barrages, and it was hard to express his sorrow.
In the past month, he has indeed not done any live broadcasts. There are two specific reasons:
Firstly... there is nothing to broadcast.
There are no Rui Zhao matches to be broadcast recently, and he said it would take him a month to get back into shape, so during this period Rui Zhao did not come to him for Lianmai sparring.
And the second one is the most important...
He is now seizing every minute and every second to "recover"! There’s still time for a live broadcast!
A month ago, after being ruthlessly crushed by Rui Zhao in the third round of the Tianyuan Tournament preliminaries, in order to avoid being "thrown away after use" by Zhao Tianhou, Zeng Qiduan vowed to his master that he would be in a He will regain his status within the month and become a qualified sandbag again.
Although Rui Zhao believed this statement at the time, Fatty Zeng knew that he had been sparring with the Queen for a long time recently, and his condition could not be better, but Rui Zhao was just a fool!
But it is absolutely impossible to let the dog under the Queen of Heaven accept the fate of being abandoned after having already tasted the sweetness!
So in the past month, Zeng Guangwen can be said to have exerted all his energy. While working hard to improve his chess skills, he also conducted in-depth research on the nearly 2,000-page "Response Plan for Empress Zhaotian" that leaked out of Japan. , but you can try your best to explore the potential weaknesses of your master, and you must keep your dog position!
But Go has always focused on accumulation. It's not easy to catch Rui Zhao, who is still making progress, in this month!
In desperation, Fatty Zeng saw that even all his entertainment and relaxation time was not enough, so he took action on his eating and resting time. As a result, he lost weight in just one month. She weighed twenty pounds, so much so that many viewers couldn’t recognize her!
But there is a secret behind it. Zeng Qiduan is not open to outsiders, so he has no choice but to keep it secret and get to the point as soon as possible:
“Hey, all you die-hard fans of the Queen, please don’t embarrass me. , I am just dedicating myself to the continued progress of the queen!
"I won’t say more about the specifics. I will talk to everyone after this period of time has passed!
"Hey! Dear fans of the queen, please don't give me rewards! I really won't say it now! Even if you add money!
"Okay! It's now chess time! Let’s watch the Queen’s game first!
“Both sides have finished guessing. In this game, the queen holds black and the little sheep holds white.
“Both sides start the game against two consecutive stars...”
