"Elder, what do you mean...
"Is it because Rui Zhao is on the Pohu team that Brain Ax plays in the first round? ! "
At the same time, Jinling City, Suhu Province.
Gu Chuxiong, who was at home, couldn't help but frowned after receiving a call from the team leader.
"What is this? statement? ”
Gu Chuxiong is from Jinling, but he is quite tall. His height of 1.8 meters is considered ideal for a southerner born in October 1992.
Coupled with his three-dimensional and delicate facial features, he was considered a handsome guy in the chess circle as famous as Ni Jue and Dai Ran after he was assigned a rank.
It’s just that he was determined to be a dan late and his talent is relatively average. Compared to the two world champions, he obviously doesn’t have that much potential. Therefore, he is only in the seventh dan until he is in his early thirties, so he is also It’s not really possible to be as famous as Ni and Dai.
However, fortunately, its labor force is diligent. Compared with previous years, its level of strong seven-dan has basically not declined.
Du Weichen, who was on the other end of the phone, did not find this surprising at all, and said lazily as if he was chatting at home:
"It's very simple! You should know what Rui Zhao did in the Fan Kong Battle earlier, right?
"Winning three Japanese chess players all the way, including Japan's future star and generation leader, directly Blocking all the host players from the top four!
"Forget it! You know what happened at the media conference before the final air battle..."
"Uh, I know..." Gu Chuxiong blinked and seemed to understand a little bit. .
“Yes! That’s it!”
Hearing the tone of these words, Gu Chuxiong seemed to be able to see his general shrugging his shoulders over the phone.
“The second niece almost slapped the words ‘asking for revenge’ in the Japanese Chess Academy’s face! The Japanese people have always been petty, so they have to try their best to find a place!”
"Well..."
Gu Chuxiong pondered for a moment, frowned again and said:
"If you let your own celebrity appear to win a little girl, is this really a way to regain your position?"< br>
"Then what else can we do?"
Du Weichen said so confidently:
"Old Xia Chuan was able to end the winning streak of his second niece in the Lakeside Cup last year. He was already working hard. It’s just a fantasy to think that she can win now! Or are you counting on Rei Uesaka’s second niece’s little queen?
“Let’s not talk about female chess players, just those lousy Japanese chess players. If a male chess player other than Guang, Tuzi, or Naoaxe plays Rui Zhao, there is a big possibility of him overturning! What else can the Japanese Chess Academy do? "
"...Indeed. ”
After thinking for a moment, Gu Chuxiong agreed.
Although there must be many male chess players who are better than Rui Zhao in the Japanese chess academy, the purpose of the Japanese chess team this time is to regain the field, and they must hit the target with every hit. Only the top players can do it. The three dare to say that there is no problem.
After all, previous Chinese eight-dan chess players like Fang Zhaoxiang almost overturned against Queen Zhaotian in the Tianyuan Tournament preliminaries.
On the other end of the phone, Elder Du continued:
“…I heard that Cerebellum Ax’s winning fee was quite high, but the Japanese Chess Academy had a fight with him. Under the banner of "I especially want to participate in the opening ceremony of Weijia and enhance the friendship between the two countries", I took the initiative to reduce the winning fee to the level of ordinary domestic players and wanted to play the opening match.
"To express sincerity to this extent, it is inappropriate for the Dongjiang team to refuse in any case. Even if the chess association wants to help Rui Zhao, it is difficult to say anything..."
"Also..."
< br>Gu Chuxiong nodded:
"Then should we inform Rui Zhao about that and hold a meeting to deal with it?"
But Elder Du disagreed with Gu Chuxiong's suggestion:
"What do you know! I don't have to worry about having too many debts, and it doesn't itch when there are too many lice!"
"Even if Cerebroaxe doesn't come, who do you think Rui Zhao will be against Zhuang Zheng, Tong Jingyou and Xi Muchunzhong?" Just one is enough? "
"Well, that's right..."
"That's right! ”
There was a sound of tapping the table on the other end of the phone:
"The second niece just finished the Wuyue Cup group qualifiers two days ago, and tomorrow she will play the Wuyue Cup round-robin selection. There is no need to disturb her.
"Don't forget, our key task this year is to avoid relegation! It is inevitable that the second niece will have some bumps and bruises on the armor, so don’t think too much!
“The reason why I’m informing you is because in the final analysis, we have to rely on our performance to win Dongjiang!
“The first round will be our virtual home court. Four of you, try to win two sets and fight to win the Dongjiang! ”
…
…
As time goes by, the first half of 2024 is about to pass, and the second half of the year with intensive professional events will soon arrive.
During late June, except for the women's Wuyue Cup round-robin selection, which was proceeding step by step, there was no other focus in the professional arena. But...this doesn't mean that a bunch of big men have nothing to do.
For example, Ni Jue.
After witnessing Master Liu's terrifying performance in the first Tongge Cup, Tian Yuan, a celebrity who aims to end Master Liu's winning streak in the Nongshim Cup, no longer dares to neglect.
Although it seems that he is just motionless at home every day, at this time Ni Jue is almost on par with Rui Zhao who was preparing for the City Cup. In addition to having to fulfill my duties as the class teacher, I can say that I fill up all my time.
Another example is Yu Qingguang.
This time Rui Zhao was overturned by Master Liu in the Tongge Cup in the official stage. Although it did not surprise Lao Yu Jiuduan, he was still quite upset.
So even if the regular stage competition is approaching, Lao Yu Jiuduan still squeezes out time to strengthen himself, but he can compile official questions for his "big star" student to avoid being on the stage when the time comes. The Weijia stage then "embarrassed" him
However, a certain fool felt that the round-robin selection of the Wuyue Cup was not very intense: Yang Manjing, the runner-up last time, was exempted from the selection and did not have to participate, but Liu Yuhong didn't have her turn in this round-robin. The soup was clear and watery, except for Zou Yang, it was basically all kinds of massacres. Zhao Tianhou, who was worried that the strength was not enough, was eager to do more questions.
For example, Fatty Zeng... ah no, Sandbag Zeng.
Originally, according to Zeng Guangwen's idea, Rui Zhao had to go to the Wuyue Cup preliminaries and round-robin selections during the recent period. Logically speaking, he could always take the opportunity to rest.
Unexpectedly, Rui Zhao showed strong dissatisfaction with the intensity of the Wuyue Cup preliminaries and round-robin selections. Every day he felt guilty that he had not been fully trained, so almost every time he ended During the competition, I asked Zeng Guangwen if he had time to play chess, which almost drove Zeng Qiduan crazy!
This is why his fans and live broadcast data have continued to usher in a new wave of surge recently with Rui Zhao's big break out of the circle, otherwise he would not be able to support it!
It's okay...if you work hard on yourself, victory is just ahead!
My little aunt has become a big star, so she should be distracted by other things like Lin Ruixin, right? !
By then...she shouldn't be staring at me every day, right?
Zeng Shabao comforted himself in this way, and then he mustered up the courage to continue to work hard to compete with Zhao Tianhou in tennis training...
Finally, let me talk about Lei Qi again.
Like Ni Jue and Zeng Guangwen, Lei Qi could be said to have stayed at home during this period. He practiced online at home or competed with AI every day.
After all...he has a lot of games to play in July.
In addition to the Agama Cup Quick Chess Tournament, the first three rounds of the Siege, and the Yingyi Cup at the end of the month, he might also participate in the Nongshim Cup selection in mid-July.
——Yes.
Although he has seven consecutive victories in the last competition and is automatically exempted from selection to enter the list of this Nongshim Cup, he is still preparing for the Nongshim Cup qualifiers in mid-July.
…
…
Finally, the time has officially arrived in July.
On July 3, a focus match in the seventh round of the Women's Siege League just ended. The Pohu team once again scored full points against the Qiantang team in the overall strength ranking.
In fact, the game itself is not much suspense. With the continuous improvement and lower limit improvement of Rei Ban on the second platform in the past two months, the Pohu team's performance has become more and more stable. Originally, Lu Shijia, the eldest sister in the team, was naturally the weakest player as the main player, but now that she was squeezed into the third position, it was natural that she was chopping up the melons and vegetables.
And the reason why there is no suspense and it is said to be a focus match...
It is because since the game between Rui Zhao and Liu Shixian in the Tongge Cup went out of the circle, every game Rui Zhao participated in A siege match is a focused battle that involves all kinds of guns and cannons and fans rushing to the scene.
However, Rui Zhao himself, who had easily won another victory today, was quite unmotivated.
“Hmm…
“To compete in this kind of competition… maybe it’s better to go and spar with Brother Zeng…”
After defeating Qiantang team leader Fan Ying in five stages, Rui Zhao, who returned to the players' rest area, spent a few minutes briefly reviewing the game he had just played, then frowned and whispered softly.
Recently, Zhao Tianhou feels more and more that the various competitions that she has always been thinking about seem to be a waste of time in many cases.
For players, normally the improvement of competition is definitely greater than daily tennis training, so Rui Zhao has always cherished the opportunity of competition and tried his best to participate in various competitions.
But recently, she felt more and more that in the women's competition... there were more and more uninteresting games.
Like the recent Wuyue Cup qualifiers and group selections, there were eight games in total, and the game with Zou Yang was still a matter of victory. Rui Zhao won the other games with overwhelming success, and entered early. It depends on when your opponent chooses to throw in the towel. This made Rui Zhao, who wanted to further improve his chess skills, quite depressed.
But now, after finally trying to play the women's armor, the result was another lackluster draw, which made the girl's heart even more volatile.
Um... Calm down, calm down!
Rui Zhao, don’t be upset, don’t be upset when practicing chess!
Since we have to compete with Jin Youen 9th Dan, Queen Mulan and Senior Sister Zou, these relatively simple games are inevitable! Don't be upset, don't be upset...
Also, Weijia will be opening soon! In the siege, almost every game is a tough battle!
After giving himself some psychological hints, Rui Zhao cheered up at the thought that he would be able to put on the armor soon. He immediately started to pack his things, preparing to take a photo with the fans outside the stadium and return to the room later. Follow me to find sandbags and start practicing.
