"Come! Cheers everyone!
"This is the first time since our team was founded that we have entered the top two in the regular season! Congratulations! ”
On the evening of the same day, in a restaurant in Dajing City.
Dajing team coach Fan Zhuo and four players were gathering here to celebrate today’s victory.
In the afternoon, in the final match of the regular season, Dajing performed well against the bottom-ranked Qinghai-Tibet team, winning all four games.
But... that alone is not enough for the Dajing team to celebrate today.
The most important thing is that today the Qiantang team lost a key game point to the Pohu team, which is also a weak team. Even with the same field points, the game point was tied by the Dajing team.
The two teams played against each other this season and the score was 2-2, so there was no way to win straight away. But when comparing the victory rate of the main general, Lei Qi performed more stably. In the end, the Dajing team relied on their main winning rate to push their old enemy Qiantang team into third place, and they were promoted to the top two, at the top of the bubble competition.
That's exactly what happened. After today's game, coach Fan Zhuo decisively organized a dinner party for the players, which could be regarded as a small celebration.
“Fuck!”×4
Seeing that the coach had made the first comment, several team members naturally raised their glasses to join in the grand occasion. The scene was very lively.
However, the chess players usually don’t drink too much. After drinking a large glass of draft beer, Coach Fan, who became more interested, became more and more articulate:
“Ouch, but We really have to thank Queen Zhao today!
“If she hadn’t tripped up the official, we wouldn’t have been able to get together today!
“Come, let’s toast our little queen of Chinese chess!
"I wish Queen Zhao will make more progress in the future and grab more fermented bean curd!"
In fact, Fan Zhuo originally meant what he said to make the atmosphere more exciting, so he said something joking.
However, what Fan Zhuo didn't expect was that when he raised his glass, the team members were all stunned on the spot.
The four meritorious generals of the Dajing team stared with big eyes, among which Li Tingyan and Liang Sizhen looked particularly embarrassed.
Fan Zhuo suddenly reacted when he saw this:
Damn, it’s broken!
I forgot that I also have two queens of fermented bean curd in my team! ! !
This doesn’t even count the handicap game in which Rui Zhao massacred Xiao Lei online. If we want to record it, we have to count three of them! ! !
"Uh, um... let's put it this way!
"Now Rui Zhao is indeed strong, so strong that she can no longer be regarded as a female chess player! It’s not weird to lose to her!
"No, the official did it too! Haha, hahaha..."
Fan Zhuo, who had messed up the atmosphere, laughed hard and tried to warm up the atmosphere again. However, this sudden laughter made the atmosphere even worse. Embarrassed.
While Fan Zhuo was trying hard to use his brain and continued to think about how to step down, Lei Qi on the side suddenly took over the conversation:
"...Coach Fan, what did you say? That's right.
"Rui Zhao... is undoubtedly a strong player no matter what you look at now.
"I reviewed her game as soon as I finished the game today.
"Although this victory was partly due to the official's carelessness, the shape of the white chess piece on the upper right was indeed different. It’s not surprising that top chess players would ignore problematic chess.
"But... Rui Zhao caught it very keenly.
"She first carefully restrained her murderous intention and did not let the official notice anything was wrong. And when the time was just right, he almost killed Guan Ye's big dragon, which seemed to be fine, almost like a gust of wind. It just happened that he was able to slow down the qi tribulation to kill him, and the victory was not unsatisfactory!
“To be honest, with her performance...
"I might miss her at any time!"
"Look, Xiao Lei feels the same way!"
Seeing his general passing the steps, Fan Zhuo quickly stepped down Xialu:
“So, Li Jiuduan and Xiaoliang, don’t worry about it!
“When everyone becomes Ruizhao fermented bean curd in the future, doesn’t that mean that they are no longer fermented bean curd? Well! ”
"Ah this..."
But at this time, Lei Qi on the side continued in a calm voice:
"...But I don't really want to be this fermented bean curd, Coach Fan."
"...Ah?!"
Fan Zhuo was a little confused for a moment, but at this time Lei Qi had already stood up, bowed slightly and said:
"Everyone, I'm sorry.
"I will have the Nongshim Cup competition after the year. , this time Teacher Shang gave me a task, and I didn’t want to live up to his expectations. I'll excuse you now!
"Have a good meal, everyone, and see you after the Spring Festival!"
After saying this, Lei Qi bowed to express his apology, then turned around and left neatly, without any sloppiness.
"Lei Qi!"
At this moment, Li Tingyan, who was extremely embarrassed just now, suddenly called out to the captain of the team who was about to leave. When he looked back, he meaningfully The sentence came out:
"...See you after the Spring Festival!"
"...Hmm."
The young man understood the meaning, squinted his eyes and responded, and then Turn around and continue your steps.
However, for Lei Qi, his current goal is to defeat the opponents who stand in front of him in the Nongshim Cup one by one.
But for the current Chinese Go, there are still other troubles to deal with...
…
…
[Thank you to all the chess fans for your recent visit Concern about my physical condition! My physical recovery is still good now. 】
[However, due to physical reasons during this period, I was not able to conduct any games or training, so the competitive state is not ideal. Regarding whether I can play in the Nongshim Cup after the Spring Festival, I still need to communicate with the association and the national team. If there is a result I will also notify you as soon as possible. 】
【I also wish everyone a happy Spring Festival! 】
Hmm...
I hope this news from Ni Jue can stabilize the mood of chess fans!
January 22, Chinese Go Association. Shang Chaotian looked at the latest news posted by his celebrity Tian Yuan on Weibo and wished him secretly from the bottom of his heart.
As for Ni Jue sending this news this morning, the chairman of the Chess Association actually knew last night - because this is what he asked Ni Jue to send after communicating with him.
As for the reason...
It's because the pressure from chess fans is a bit overwhelming.
With the final round of the Wei A regular season ending on January 20, there will be no more Go matches in China before the Spring Festival holiday.
Chess fans who have entered the rough stage will naturally turn their attention to the "new year's drama" after the new year - the third stage of the 26th Nongshim Cup.
Then everyone remembered...
Our Nongshim Cup is still missing someone!
It seems that the competition is about to start after the new year. Isn’t there any news about the participants yet? !
So within one day after the game ended, many chess fans posted discussions on the official WeChat account of the Chess Association and major Go communities, asking the Chess Association to give official news.
Shang Chaotian knew that he couldn't turn a deaf ear to such signs of public opinion these days. At the same time, he asked the Propaganda Department to give some talk to appease the chess fans, and at the same time asked Ni Jue to help stabilize the situation.
Judging from the comments on Ni Jue’s current feed, most chess fans seem to have calmed down after seeing that the rightful owner has finally said something.
It’s just hard to say how long this can be delayed...
Hmm...
I hope this year’s Spring Festival Gala can be like last year, with some new tricks to attract everyone’s attention!
The magic trick is very good, and it’s not impossible for Haruyama Gakushu to show it again!
Shang Chaotian couldn't help but pray secretly in his heart.
But who would have known that he hadn’t even said a few prayers before a new trouble came again:
“Brother Tian!”
Lu Wenjie hurriedly walked out of the door at this time. He rushed in and was so anxious that he didn't even knock on the door.
"Wenjie, what's wrong?"
Lu Wenjie walked quickly to his chairman, took a moment to catch his breath, then frowned and said:
"That's it...
"Just now, the chess academies of Japan and South Korea and the Nongshim Group sent messages expressing concern about the situation of the last player in our Nongshim Cup.
“They said that although they understood Ni Jue’s illness, it was not appropriate for us to be unsure whether or not we would have a substitute player and who would be the substitute player!
"Therefore, the two countries' chess academies hope that we can finalize the arrangements before the Spring Festival. Otherwise, the South Korean chess academy will discuss with Nongshim Group and consider imposing a time penalty on the last chess player that we have not yet determined."
“Tsk, did you still come to your door?”
Shang Chaotian couldn’t help but complain a little. However, he was actually expecting such a reaction from the two chess institutes.
The reason is also very simple: this is equivalent to playing a dark card with a bright card.
Originally, as in the past, although the formations among the three countries in the arena can be adjusted according to the situation, in the final analysis, the candidates will be selected from the five predetermined team members, with a general range for easy targeting.
But right now, due to Ni Jue's health, China has been unable to decide whether to make a substitution or who to play if so. For the other two countries, they are completely in a state of "the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear", making it difficult to prepare for and target war.
So it is reasonable for the Chinese Chess Association to be given an ultimatum.
"Brother that day, what should we do now?"
Lu Wenjie asked for advice.
Since Shang Chaotian had expected this, he was also prepared for this moment. He paused and sighed:
"We have no choice but to hide it this far!
"Wen Jie, give them a formal reply letter and tell them the name of our substitute chess player!
"However, at the same time, let me tell them:
"I hope they will take into account their long-term friendship and inform the contestants internally not to announce big news to the outside world and bring us Unnecessary trouble.
“We have always been trustworthy in our work. Once the official letter is issued, it will not be changed, so they can rest assured.”
"Well...I understand. I'll do it right away!"
Lu Wenjie responded with concern.
Although he knew that it would not be a big problem for the two chess academies to agree to Shang Chaotian's statement - there was nothing that Japan and South Korea could not agree to on this small matter.
But the problem is... as long as more people know something, there is inevitably the risk of leakage.
For example, the Japanese Chess Academy was disgraced and lost face due to the leakage of the "Shoutian Queen Response Plan" during the Shankong War last year.
Even the information that was important to them was only so good at keeping it secret. It was hard to say whether they could keep it secret for the entire Spring Festival if they told such a breaking news.
But as of now, it really can only be like this - you can't watch your own chess players being penalized due to off-field factors!
However, what really caught the Chinese Chess Association off guard was...
Only one day had passed since the selection of substitute players for the Nongshim Cup in China, an interview at the end of the fourth round of the South Korean Go League , which caused an uproar in the major Go communities on the Chinese Internet... (End of Chapter)
