[News: All the competitions in this stage of the Wuyue Cup are over. Zhao Tianhou easily defeated Asakura Haruna and successfully entered the finals in December this year! 】
On July 18, at five o’clock in the evening, Qiantang City, Zhejiang-Hangzhou Chess Academy.
Sun Yi, who had just finished the final of the Aghanzong Cup, saw the headlines on Yiguo News and couldn't help but sigh:
"Hey... It's really a new generation replacing the old... …
“In the original women’s competition, Senior Sister Zou and Liu Yuhong were reported first…”
After sighing with emotion, Sun Yi immediately clicked on the headline news, then skipped the previous section about Rui Zhao, and directly found the results of other rounds in the last few lines of the news:
" Liu Yuhong...Liu Yuhong...
"Ah! She defeated Natsukawa Aoi! ”
After seeing his teammates on the women’s team successfully enter the finals, Sun Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the results of other rounds.
Since the current Wuyue Cup changed the original "referring to strength and national pre-match divisions" to "re-drawing according to the principle of avoidance of the same country in each round", there have been many situations where the top teams met in advance. So this time Huaying. The two leaders will start to face off in the quarterfinals
As for the level of competition in other quarter-final matches, it can be said to be high or low:
The Ice Queen defeated Zou Yang, an original final-level matchup, this quarter-final match has already been staged. In the end, the Ice Queen continued her stable performance in the women's arena. After the layout, she quickly suppressed the Chinese female celebrities and moved towards her tenth and sixth consecutive women's world championship.
In another duel of rising stars, the Little Witch finally defeated An Huilin, whose form has improved rapidly recently, after a hard battle, and entered the semi-finals of the Wuyue Cup for two consecutive years.
Finally... it was a civil war between the Chinese Pohu team - Rui Zhao once again took advantage of his own little cry bag, and the whole process was uneventful.
But the good news is that this time the little crybaby didn't cry. But after the game, he was like a little pufferfish, and it was obvious that he was very unwilling...
Please, you have nothing to be unwilling to do, okay...
Don’t you see how my junior sister has suppressed domestic women’s Go recently?
The women's siege team has won all eight rounds so far, and has not lost a round in the Wuyue Cup round-robin selection.
My senior sister Zou and Liu Yuhong have no good way to deal with her now, so why should we lose to you!
Hua Xia Yixian said a few words secretly, and then suddenly began to hesitate about something:
Well...that...
Would you like to send a WeChat message to Liu Yuhong to congratulate...
After all, she had specially encouraged me before...
When Shi Yi After hesitating for two seconds, Xian finally made up his mind, then opened WeChat and began to write a congratulatory message.
However, before typing two words, Sun Houer discovered something was wrong.
...Eh, wait a minute.
I have already sent it to Liu Yuhong, do I still need to send a message to comfort Senior Sister Zou?
As for junior sister, do you also have to...
Hmm... let's wait until Liu Yuhong has finished sending it to senior sister Zou.
Otherwise, if senior sister knew that I sent Liu Yuhong a message or not, she would be unhappy again...
As for Rui Zhao...should we forget it?
Anyway, she often misses and replies to WeChat messages, especially the unimportant ones. If she doesn’t reply to me after I send them, wouldn’t it make me feel embarrassed?
...Well, that's it.
After making up his mind, Sun Yi continued to use his poor vocabulary to write a message to the female team leader. Unexpectedly, his phone suddenly vibrated:
There is a call!
And the caller...is none other than the current Queen Mulan!
Huh? !
Why did she call first? !
Did you guess that I wanted to send her a congratulatory WeChat message and deliberately embarrass me first?
At that time, Yixian was in a hurry, but the phone in his hand was vibrating, which made him feel unable to answer it.
Finally, after struggling for nearly ten seconds, Sun Hou'er finally answered the phone, swallowed, and replied slightly nervously:
"Hello?
"You, what are you doing? Called suddenly? Yes, what's the matter? "
"I also want to ask you why it took you so long to pick up! "
Liu Yuhong on the other end was not polite at all, and directly said:
"What? You only won the runner-up, and you are emo again?
"Hey! Don't be depressed! Lin Ruixin has been in good form recently...my junior brother didn't stop him in the semifinals yesterday, so don't think too much! "
"I didn't think too much, I just...uh..."
"Oh, don't explain! I don’t know about your little mentality! ”
Although Sun Houer hesitated in his words, Liu Yuhong did not seem to be too aware of the problem:
"But you're okay!
"You managed to keep your title of [Yixian] at the end of last year! My junior brother is miserable. He has been either the runner-up or the semi-finals for more than a year, making it impossible for him to participate in the King of Kings in May.
"Now I just won the runner-up and was selected for the Nongshim Cup again, so be happy!
"Exactly, you should go back to Jinling tomorrow to prepare for the third round of the day after tomorrow, right? ? I'll treat you to dinner! It’s also a celebration for being the runner-up in the Agama Cup and being selected for the Nongshim Cup for three consecutive years! "
"Huh? Ah..."
Facing the other party's sudden series of comforts and the last dinner date, Sun Hou'er suddenly lost his composure. He could do nothing but accept blankly. He even forgot all about the congratulations he had just organized...
……
The time came to July 19, the day before the third round of the Siege League.
Quancheng Hotel, Liquan City, Qilu Province.
The Pohu team, which is about to challenge the Qilu team in an away game tomorrow, finally gathered together in the evening to officially start the pre-match meeting.
“Ahem!
“Okay everyone! Tomorrow we will play the third round of Siege with Teacher Yang and his team. Regarding the stage...what do you think? ”
As the team’s talker, Du Weichen started naturally, intending to listen to the opinions of his teammates.
In fact, regarding the arrangement of this round, Du Weichen also made some comments two days ago I've thought about it, but it doesn't feel like much work.
The Qilu team is a "9977" configuration. The leader is Li Zhaokai, a "quasi-post-00s" born at the end of 1999, who is very capable. And the two seventh-dan players are also strong players in the seventh-dan class.
However, although it seems that the configuration of Qilu Team's "9977" is not too bad, the actual results are not very good.
And the reason... lies in Cheng Zhiyang, another nine-dan chess player on their team.
Cheng Zhiyang was born in 1991. He belongs to a group of people like Long Bo Tuo Shu and others. He also won the world championship once and is respectfully called "Foreign Teacher" in the circle.
But unlike the diligent Huang Bonan and Luo Xi, Teacher Yang became more arrogant as he got older.
And unlike Elder Du who "sits up" from time to time, Cheng Zhiyang is really showing off! Now facing the nine-dan in his prime, he has no power to fight back!
It is generally estimated in the circle that the strength of foreign teachers is basically only about seven strong and weak, so the Qilu team can only work hard to avoid relegation with Jinfen, Qiannan and other brothers and sisters.
But for the Pohu team, even if the opponent is "Nine Seven Seven Seven", it is not easy to chew. It is estimated that the high probability depends on whether the main station can win the opponent. , so Elder Du doesn't plan to play any tricks.
But at this moment... Rui Zhao quickly raised his hand.
"Uh...second niece, what's wrong?"
Seeing the enthusiastic look of the only female member of the team, Elder Du looked embarrassed and didn't want her to speak - but it was still inappropriate.
The bright girl immediately said with expectation:
"Brother Du, that one...
"In the last round of competition, didn't you say that it was because I won the first round? Reward me with a game of leader's platform.
“Only I won the second round again. Can I still be the leader this round?
"I couldn't meet Lei Qi 9th Dan before, but I was depressed..."
"Are you still depressed? I think Xiaoliang is not feeling well lately!"
Du The elder couldn't help but rant angrily, completely forgetting that he himself was one of the accomplices in making Liang Sizhen depressed.
"Then, then I won't be depressed anymore!"
Seeing Du Weichen complaining, Zhao Tianhou quickly adjusted her words, and then continued to ask expectantly and persistently:
"If I'm not depressed anymore...can you let me take the lead this time?"
"..."
Elder Du was speechless for a while by his female team member.
No...Does this girl want to be so honest?
I just jokingly gave you a reason to get on the general stage. Why did you start climbing along the way? !
Seeing the eager look on his "second niece"'s face, Elder Du rolled his eyes without pity on the spot:
"That time was just a small meeting gift for you as a newcomer! Let you If we play the leader this time, aren’t we going to be demoted?
“If you want our team to be demoted, just say more. If you want to play the leader, I’ll include it in the discussion if we win head-on in slow chess!
"This time you should give priority to grabbing the fast chess table on the opposite side! Do you understand?"
"...Okay, okay..."
Rui Zhao shrank his head and accepted the team's arrangement honestly.
After all, if the team is relegated, it won’t even be able to win the siege...
…
…
“Brother Yang, you It means...
"Are you still playing fast chess?"
At the same time, in another suite of Quancheng Hotel.
Li Zhaokai, the captain of the Qilu team, seemed a little surprised after hearing the preliminary suggestions from the veterans of the team. (End of this chapter)
