Chapter 619: Can’t I?
"Monkey...are you okay?"
At 6:30 pm on the same day, in the chess players' lounge of Hailing Hotel.
Liu Yuhong, who had been waiting here for a while, saw that the male ticket finally came back after a hard fight, and immediately stepped forward to show concern.
As for why you care...
...Well, of course it was because Sun Yi lost the chess game.
Of today’s four quarter-final matches, the first set to end was undoubtedly the one in which Rui Zhao defeated Lin Ruixin with a flying knife. Afterwards, Liu Shixian and Zhu Yuanjun defeated Xiong Siyi and Ji Qiufuan in the middle game respectively, advancing to the semi-finals one after another.
Only Lei Qi and Sun Yi played very fiercely. The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and in the end Lei Qi maintained his slight advantage until the end, and Zhihei Banmu won.
The Yixian of the world once again failed on the road to the World Championship finals, once again becoming a footnote to others' victory.
“… not bad!”
Although Sun Yi looked a little depressed, when he saw the female ticket coming to comfort him, he still tried his best to smile:
"I've kept you waiting for a long time!
"I just had an interview with the media. I don't know where the reporter got it wrong. After asking about this match, he kept asking me how badly I lose in sparring with Rui Zhao. Do I often lose 100%? The dragon among the dragons with both hands...
"I was confused at the time! Isn't it Lin Ruixin who was the dragon among the dragons in less than a hundred hands today? How did you get involved with me!
"Rui Zhao and I are sparring, and her winning rate is less than 20% now! The so-called disastrous defeat, how long did it take to get a set! Why are you asking me if there are any or not? ”
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Queen Liu couldn't help but shrink her head subconsciously, thinking that she would really have to talk more than she thought on live broadcasts in the future.
As for now, she decided to play dumb for now and wait until she is exposed later.
But the silly monkey doesn’t know the little Jiujiu in Liu Yuhong’s heart. Seeing Liu Yuhong’s embarrassed expression at this time, he thought that the other party was not satisfied with his results this time, so he stopped After speaking, he apologized very guiltily:
“Yu Hong, I’m sorry, I’ve let you down again this time...
"Before this competition, I boasted again that I would definitely get good results, and it turned out that I was in the top eight..."
"It's okay, it's okay!"
The little bird hurriedly came over and hugged me Silly Monkey, the baby you chose:
“Actually, I think you have made a lot of progress recently, including in the Tianyuan Competition. Didn’t you also win against Dai Gong and Xiao Xiong? In the past, they were both yours. Damn it!
"You and Xiao Lei actually lasted a long time in this game of chess today! Maybe there will be a chance next time! ”
"Well..."
After being comforted by the little bird, Sun Yi's mood recovered a little, and then he muttered:
"The next time...it will be the Tong Ge Cup in July. Oh!
“It feels a little long! "
"Huh? No! ”
Liu Yuhong immediately corrected him:
“Don’t forget, what competition is after the Spring Orchid Cup!”
“Ah…”
Sun Yi blinked. , and then he realized:
“You are right, people still have to dare to think a little bit!”
"Yes!"
Liu Yuhong nodded naturally and said:
"Although Xiao Lei now thinks that winning the world championship is more important than [chess master], I think he has been a little too responsible recently. It’s heavy!
“Winning the [Chess Master] is still a higher achievement than a single world championship!
"It just so happened that Lin Ruixin just received a blow this time. Xiaolei may not be able to compete so hard in the World Chess Championship because he is focusing on the World Championship. This is a good opportunity... Wait a minute!
"Speaking of Xiao Lei...
"Where are Xiao Lei and others? "
While talking, Xiao Xiaoniao suddenly found that his junior brother had disappeared after winning the chess game, which was quite strange.
"Ah..."
See the female ticket Confused, Sun Yi, who knew the situation, immediately replied:
"He left in a hurry without reviewing the game after playing. I don't know why he was in a hurry..."
…
…
"...So !
“I told you before at the opening dinner, you should be more careful about Liu Shixian! Why can't you understand? ! ”
At the same time, at the Hailing Hotel, at the door of Rui Zhao's room.
Xiao Lei Jiuduan, who came over just after the game, looked at Rui Zhao, who still looked like he was okay, and felt that his blood pressure had obviously increased:
"When I saw him still playing, He came to talk to you, even if you avoided him, you even chatted with him for a few words!
"He has bad intentions!" "
"...Bad intentions? ”
Rui Zhao tilted his head blankly:
"What bad intentions could Liu Jiuduan have? Why didn't I feel it at all?"
"He..."
Lei Qi just wanted to answer, but he was immediately speechless. After being embarrassed for two seconds, he hesitated and said:
"He, he didn't mean the next Nongshim Cup. He also hopes to meet you again. Game! ”
"Huh? What a bad idea!
"I also hope to play more games with Liu Jiudan! " Rui Zhao didn't seem to be surprised or confused about what Lei Qi said, and even the slightly confused expression just now was gone:
"And... not only It’s Nongshim Cup!
“When we were in the game room just now, Liu Jiudan also said that he was very much looking forward to meeting me in the next round!
"Although there is still a big gap between my level and Liu Jiuduan, I am quite happy to be recognized by the number one person in the world today..."
"...So I say this kid has no An Haoxin, do you understand?”
Leiqidun felt a little hysterical.
Seeing the fierce rival of the same age in front of him who was eager to try when he met Liu Shixian in the game made the young Chinese national player Tianyuan very unhappy.
And Rui Zhao frowned slightly, looking a little strange:
"Well, so...
"Why, Lei Qi Jiudan, do you keep saying that Liu Jiudan has no good intentions?
"In my opinion, he doesn't have any strange behavior!"
"Uh..."
Lei Qi, who was asked again, hesitated again He got up and struggled for a long time before forcefully answering:
"Um... do you know that he wants to face you in the Nongshim Cup, and what is his underlying meaning?
"You are still far from being able to enter the Nongshim Cup preliminaries! If you want to advance to the Nongshim Cup, you can only pass the wild card like last time, but the condition for the wild card to appear must be that no one is exempted from being selected into the team!
“He wants to beat us again until we have no world championship for the whole year!”
“Ah...”
After hearing this, Rui Zhao realized it later. The ground reacted.
In the last Nongshim Cup, the Chinese team's longest winning streak was Lei Qi's four-game winning streak, which was just one game away from being exempted from the selection and entering the current lineup.
And it was Rui Zhao who finally ended the arena. But Rui Zhao is not the leader - only the leader who ends the ring can automatically gain entry to the next competition.
Considering that China has failed to achieve anything in the World Championships in the past two years or so, no one has been selected to join the team for this Nongshim Cup so far. Now every time the world championship falls, it is a kind of torture and blow to domestic chess fans.
In this case, when Liu Shixian said that he wanted to meet Rui Zhao again at the Nongshim Cup, it was more of a provocation than an expectation.
Seeing that Rui Zhao agreed with this statement, Lei Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously:
"...According to this year's schedule, before the Nongshim Cup trials in July, there are two world championships: the Spring Orchid Cup and the Tongge Cup starting in early July.
"Last time I told him after the Sanshuang Cup semi-finals that I would never send you to the Nongshim Cup to face him again! absolute!
"It's good for you, you actually rushed to get close to me!"
"Ugh..."
After hearing this, Rui Zhao pursed his lips apologetically and responded - -After hearing this, it seems that I am not paying attention to the atmosphere.
However, Rui Zhao seemed a little confused about Lei Qi's statement.
On the one hand, she thought she could understand Tolei Qi's mood - if she really appeared in this Nongshim Cup, it would indeed mean that this year's Spring Orchid Cup and Tongge Cup , Hua Xia Jun suffered another setback, which she did not want to see.
But... to be fair.
If you ask her if she wants to play the Nongshim Cup again, of course she will!
The peak showdown with Liu Shixian in the Nongshim Cup was undoubtedly the most important and exciting game that Huaxia Zhaojun has played so far!
On one of the highest stages in the world of Go, she fought with all her strength against the first person in the world who had achieved the title of god on the stage. That game brought Rui Zhao joy and enjoyment, and made her excited and unable to control herself.
After eating the marrow and understanding the taste, it is really difficult for her to look back at the women's competitions now. She couldn't wait to join the world of top players that she briefly experienced in the Nongshim Cup, so after that game, she made the decision without hesitation not to play women's games in the future.
Now, when she heard Lei Qi say this, although she understood Lei Qi's mood, she couldn't say how happy she was, so she seemed a little hesitant.
And this hesitation was naturally captured by Lei Qi at this time.
Looking at the slightly disappointed expression of the other party, Lei Qi couldn't help but asked in a low voice:
"You just...
"Do you really want to compete with Ryu Shixian? "
"...To be honest, I really want to. "
After a little hesitation, Rui Zhao decided to tell the truth.
"As a chess player, I still hope to ask for advice from stronger people, so that I can grow.
"And Liu Jiuduan is the well-deserved number one in the world. I had a very, very happy time playing chess with him in the Nongshim Cup!
"So...I will inevitably look forward to it again! "
"...That's it! ”
Although these words were inexplicably unpleasant to hear, Lei Qi still gave a small wry smile and expressed his understanding.
Others may not know it, but his "strong enemy" He knows very well what kind of person he is:
"I really should say... It's worthy of you!
"But... from the perspective of national honor, I naturally don't want you to appear in the Nongshim Cup.
"Including the semi-final draw later, I don't want you to draw him - after all, for Liu Shixian, the most difficult route to win the championship is definitely to play me and Zhu Jiudan one after another..."< br>
Speaking of this, the young Tianyuan national player paused for a moment, and then asked a strange question out of nowhere:
"You just...want to draw Liu Shixian so much?< br>
"Could it be...
"Can't I do it? ”
