"Brother Li...
"Brother Xiangheng, is he okay? "
At 6:30 in the evening of the same day, Hailing Hotel game room.
Liu Shixian asked another question with the same sentence structure as yesterday, with an expression that was half playful and half helpless.
Faced with the question from the young master of the Liu family, Li Tingyan, who had just returned from the rest area, once again answered with a complex expression:
"Well, maybe it's not too good.
" Now he doesn't even have the idea of saying anything, and he seems to have been hit particularly hard. Brother Wen is still there to comfort him..."
But this time, before Lao Li could finish his words, Master Liu smiled and answered:
"But today, Brother Li, you don't have to draw lots. Oh, why are you here again? "
"Uh..."
Li Tingyan was slightly embarrassed by being teased by his first person, but he still said truthfully:
"To be honest, I'm here to say sorry to you, Xiaoliu!
"This Go back...so that you are the only one left in the top eight! But I might still have to trouble you to work hard to win the championship!
“Xiang Heng’s humiliating defeat has become the biggest topic in the South Korean sports world these days. In addition, we are all out of the game. In terms of media and public opinion, the chess academy is already a little bad. PR.
“So, your championship is very important! ”
What Li Tingyan said is indeed true.
In the just-concluded Spring Orchid Cup top 16 match, South Korean chess players performed unsatisfactory.
In addition to Xu Xiangheng being quickly defeated by Rui Zhao, Li Tingyan, Park Minyeol and Wen Chengzhen also lost one after another. In the end, Liu Shixian was left alone to face the siege of seven Chinese chess players, and he also had to shoulder the important task of winning back the championship to restore respect for the chess academy, which made Lao Li feel a little sorry.
But Master Liu acted very calmly.
Anyway, for him, he has seen so many things like fighting alone, it is really not strange. Instead, he smiled and asked:
"Ah, this is nothing! I will naturally do my best.
"That's it...
"Brother Li, why did you three have some ups and downs in the second half of the game today?
"Could it be...
"Are you scared by that Chinese Zhaojun?"
…
…
“Well, seniors…
“Your chess game was average in the second half of the game today, and you were almost overturned by a nine-dan piece! ”
At the same time, Hailing Hotel.
Zhu Yuanjun, the "round pig" who had just won a hard-fought victory over Ichijo Takuya, had just returned to the players' rest area when he was tortured by Xiong Siyi, who had ended the game early:
"Fortunately, you were ahead in the first half of the game. It's quite big, I thought you were going to fall over again this time!
"Hey, could it be that senior Bian was recruited to the Gezhou team that affected you? "
"Uh..."
Zhu Yuanjun looked a little embarrassed: what Xiong Siyi asked about was indeed something he had been unhappy with recently.
Originally, as the strength of the team's young player Peng Wendong has gradually improved recently, he has been promoted to the ninth level, and the configuration has reached "9998". The Xidu team is already at the top from the book. Next season, it is fully equipped to compete with Dajing, Qiantang, and Tiangang. The ability to compete with strong teams. Therefore, the team's leader Zhu Yuanjun can't help but feel complacent and plans to see if there is a chance to win the championship with his teammates next year.
But who would have thought that Jin Yuan Go could kill people!
Gezhou City, which tasted the benefits of Go culture and tourism through the Tongge Cup last year, has directly further increased investment in Go-related industries in the city without respecting martial ethics! It also put forward higher performance requirements for the Weijia Gezhou team.
The Gezhou team, whose previous results had not been ideal, immediately gained confidence after receiving financial support. Through some operational contacts, they quickly snatched Bian Lele, who had just finished his contract with the Xidu team, over. As a result, the Xidu team's "Galaxy Battleship" collapsed half way through its business, and the number of nine-dan chess players increased to two, which made Zhu Yuanjun very depressed.
However, although Yuanzhu has been in a bad mood recently, this is not the reason for his abnormal performance in the second half of the game today:
"...Well, it's not because of this. It's mainly because Lao Xu slapped himself in the face so loudly that I was a little distracted.
"I really didn't expect it at the time. ——Rui Zhao defeated Anmingjiao yesterday, but he actually defeated Lao Xu again today? Or a quick win? !
“It made me dizzy for a moment, and I couldn’t play well in the second half of the game!
“But it’s really a shame that Takuya Ichijo could still sit still in the face of this situation... ""Um? What's wrong with this? ”
Xiong Siyi didn't feel anything was wrong at all:
"Although the overall strength of Xu Xiangheng's ninth level is higher, it's not surprising that Xiao Xiong 2nd won, right?"
...?
When Yuanzhu heard this, a question mark slowly appeared on his head.
Nothing strange?
Little Bear, did you make something wrong? !
Zhu Yuanjun's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he, who was always tactful, rarely argued with Xiong Siyi.
“Well, Little Bear, this seems a bit strange, isn’t it?
“Rui Zhao has won too many nine-dan chess players recently!
"We defeated Guanye in the last round of the regular season of the Siege League, defeated Park Min-yeol in the relegation battle, defeated Tao Chen in the Tianyuan Tournament qualifiers, easily defeated Anmyungjiao yesterday, and the Nongshim Cup also ended Ryu Se-hyun's series Record! I lost a wearer in the middle!
"The above results are outrageous enough, but she just beat Xu Xiangheng...
" Even the ice queen of South Korea cannot beat the nine-dan chess players so often! "
Silly Heitian still didn't think there was any problem, and replied very naturally:
"It's not surprising. This shows that Little Bear Er is stronger than Jin Youen!
“That’s right, Senior Sun!”
"Ah?"
Hua Xia Yixian, who was suddenly cueed on the side and defeated Ueno Toraichiro easily today, was slightly stunned, then nodded and said:
"Well, it's really nothing strange.
“I have practiced a lot with Rui Zhao, and I feel that even in slow chess, she should be better than Jin Youen now—if it is fast chess, she is already far ahead!
“Let’s beat Lao Xu today. It will definitely be a win over top, but it’s nothing to be surprised about!
"She is not me. There are many things to do to win..."
"This..."
Zhu Yuanjun suddenly felt that it was really difficult to communicate with the monkey in front of him. , he who has always been introverted really couldn't control himself:
"Hey, hey...
"Xiao Xiong, Sun Yi! This is another time that a female chess player has won the first-tier 9-dan game against a male player!
"If you put it in the past, even if it happens once, it's just a small piece of news!
"But with this recent 'news', don't you think it happens a little too frequently? !
“Especially in key events such as the A-League relegation battle, the Nongshim Cup, and the World Series! I think it’s not surprising that you would be a little surprised!”
“Well...
“If it happens a lot, it’s no longer news! ”
Silly Heitian blinked, and his whole person exuded a clear sense of innocence:
"Seniors, you still haven't adapted! Just play chess with Little Bear more often, and you'll be fine if you lose too much!
“Oh, that’s right! When Kim Woo-eun won the world runner-up title, didn't she beat you?
"I believe that as long as you lose to Little Bear 2 once, you will definitely not make a fuss again!"
"..."
Hearing this, Yuanzhu was speechless for a moment.
These are outrageous remarks!
Losing to Kim Woo-eun and sending a female chess player to the runner-up position in the world was originally a dark history of Zhu Yuanjun's career, and he still can't completely let go of it.
Not long ago, Rui Zhao's words and deeds at the Weijia Award Ceremony, although Yuan Zhu didn't say anything, he did feel that Rui Zhao was somewhat arrogant.
As a result, in the current situation, Little Bear actually told him, "Just lose once"? !
Sun Yi didn't think there was any problem at all? ! !
Even his opponent today, Takuya Ichijo, only raised his eyes when Xu Xiangheng started to slap himself, and then continued to focus on the chessboard, as if it was no big deal!
...It can’t be something that’s wrong with me! ! !
For a moment, Yuanzhu's belief was shaken by Sha Heitian's words. He quickly took out his mobile phone and planned to go to the Yiguo Forum to see the direction of public opinion.
After all, if he can't find anyone who has the same views as him, then he will not be able to figure out who the strange one is, Queen Zhao...
...It's still him. (End of this chapter)
