Chapter 378 Rookie of the Year Finals

"Yeah……

"Xiao Lei helped cheer Sun Yi up!"

At nine o'clock in the evening of the same day, in Jiao Kai's room at Dongjiang Hotel.

After listening to Jiao Kai's description of the team meeting, Shang Chaotian, who had just sat down, sighed slightly.

The third stage of the challenge tournament was held in Dongjiang these days. Shang Chaotian, the chairman of the chess association, was directly stationed at the Dongjiang Hotel and has not moved since he arrived in Dongjiang on the 18th.

During the day, he was busy with various meetings and encouraging team members. After the game, he used the evening time to visit local governments, entrepreneurs and retired chess players, trying to complete all the work that needed to be done in Dongjiang at once.

However, Shang Chaotian was very well controlled when interacting with his teammates. He would basically just give them a few words of encouragement before the game and never directly participate in analysis or discussion.

As a chess player, he knows that although his chess skills are not too bad now, once his identity changes, participating in front-line discussions will bring pressure and concerns to the team members. It is best not to intervene too much.

But... less involvement does not mean less concern.

After finishing work every day, Shang Chaotian would always come to Jiao Kai's room to learn about the situation of the team members.

"Yes! I think Xiao Lei is fully qualified to be the captain this time!"

After listening to Shang Chaotian's sigh, Jiao Kai echoed it.

"Not to mention the in-game record, a streak of seven wins, and even in the fifth game of the second stage, he and Young Master Liu played a famous game together... Young Master Liu was so naive that if he didn't perform well, he would have been defeated by Xiao Lei!

"Off the plate, I feel like he's really playing his role as captain.

"For example, before the festival, they reminded us to hold a thought mobilization meeting and helped us to arrange the troops, and the encouragement they just gave to Sun Yi was just right...

"Except for the fact that he seemed to care a little too much about Rui Zhao, he did a really good job in other aspects!"

"Ok.

"It's a pity that his condition still hasn't fully recovered...but this is my fault."

Shang Chaotian sighed lightly, and didn't seem to be in the mood to praise his students.

"Okay, Lao Jiao! Let's not talk about this anymore! Let's talk about the business at hand!

"Now we only have two people left in both the Nongshim Cup and the Lakeside Cup. You have been on the front line these days, how do you feel...

"Can we get it?"

Jiao Kai was silent for a while, and said truthfully:

“Lakeside Cup…I don’t think it’s a big problem!

"Today, by the end, Kim You-eun was obviously a little tired. In the last Lakeside Cup, she won three sets in a row, and the final game against Zou Yang was also a thrilling victory.

“And thanks to Tori Zhao, she had to win five sets in a row in the third stage, which was still too difficult… I think our one sheep and one bird will be able to complete the task in the end!

“But the Nongshim Cup…

"To be honest, I have a bad feeling."

"Why?" Shang Chaotian asked with a frown.

Jiao Kai sorted out the language and explained it in detail:
“On the one hand, our team members’ record against Young Master Liu is not very good.

“Sun Yi is a famous strength and weakness appraiser, and he has never defeated Young Master Liu.

“Although Xiao Lei did some mobilization today, it’s estimated that it will be in vain tomorrow.

"As for Little Bear... ever since he eliminated Young Master Liu in the Sanshuang Cup two years ago, he has lost four games in a row...

“And every time he had no clear chances, it felt like Liu Shixian had figured him out.

"As for the other side... Young Master Xiao Liu is in really good condition right now.

"In the three games of the third stage, he never had a clear disadvantage!
"It's basically a tug of war in the early stages, but once the opponent makes a slight mistake in the middle stage, he will pull away from them in one fell swoop! And once the advantage is pulled away, he will be firmly suppressed, leaving no chance at all!
“And what’s even scarier is that he never seems to get tired!
"Logically, he has fought three times in three days, so his condition should have declined. However, Tang Guansheng fought faster today than the previous two days!

"How can I describe his situation...

"It's like Rui Zhao chopping melons and vegetables in the first two stages of the Lakeside Cup. He just chopped without getting tired! It's really scary to watch..."

"Like Rui Zhao in the first two stages...?"

Shang Chaotian murmured softly, and his face, which was already without a smile, became even more gloomy.

Seeing that Shang Chaotian didn't continue talking, Jiao Kai added:

“To be honest, to deal with this kind of monster, I feel that we must send someone stronger than him—just like Rui Zhao must have Ying Han’s commander to stop him, otherwise the chances are slim!

"But……"

Having said this, Jiao Kai stopped talking.

Because he knew that what followed was all nonsense.

Young Master Liu is not only the best chess player in the world, but also recognized as the most powerful chess player throughout history!
In the thousands of years of history of Go, no one with stronger hard power than Young Master Liu... exists at all!
Shang Chaotian fell silent again after hearing this.

After several seconds, he suddenly couldn't help laughing, but his smile was very bitter:

"It's not enough!" After all... the Nongshim Cup is still much more important than the Lakeside Cup!

"Especially since we were defeated by the same person three times in a row in the Nongshim Cup."

Jiao Kai pursed his lips and said nothing.

As a chess player of the older generation, he understood very well how unpleasant it was to lose the Nongshim Cup to South Korea for many years in a row.

Shang Chaotian saw that Jiao Kai seemed to be in a bad mood because of him, so he quickly joked:

"...However, luckily, a good kid like Rui Zhao suddenly showed up and helped us save our last bit of dignity by winning the Lakeside Cup. So, it's a good thing after all!
"Besides, when she grows up, we in China will have our own Young Master Liu—although it will only be a female version."

"Yes!"

Jiao Kai could tell that Shang Chaotian was trying to liven up the atmosphere, and he also tried hard to force a smile.

At the same time, he just remembered something and joked to Shang Chaotian:
"That's right...

"This little girl might cause you some other troubles!"

...

...

The next day, Thursday, September 2th.

This day is the fourth day of the third stage of the Nongshim/Lakeside Cup Tournament, and also the day for the first game of the three-game final of this year's Rookie of the Year.

12:50 noon, Cultural and Sports Activity Center, Majiaqiao Town, Dongjiang City.

Chu Jun, who had been seated for five minutes, looked at the empty seat opposite him and finally couldn't help asking Lu Wenjie, who was sitting in the referee's seat:

“Vice Chairman Lu…hasn’t she arrived at the scene yet?”

Yes.

In the first game of today's Rookie King final, with ten minutes left, Chu Jun's final opponent Rui Zhao had still not arrived at the scene.

Hearing Chu Jun's question, Lu Wenjie sighed and then put down the phone he had been watching.

"There's nothing we can do. In today's game, Zou Yang and Jin Youen fought very hard, and even in the endgame, the victory or defeat was still half a point.

"Rui Zhao had been wanting to stay at the Dongjiang Hotel for a while longer, but he kept putting it off until he saw that it was too late and finally got in the car and rushed here.

"But don't worry, I've just asked her and she will be here soon. She won't be late."

Unlike the previous tournament held at Dongjiang Chess Academy, the final of this year's Rookie King Tournament was held in Majiaqiao Town on the outskirts of Dongjiang City, so it took Rui Zhao about forty to fifty minutes to get there from the Dongjiang Hotel in the city center.

As for why...

The Majiaqiao Town Government is the main sponsor of the Rookie King Contest. In the past five years, the Rookie King Contest has been named the "Majiaqiao Cup", so naturally the finals have to be held in the town.

"Is this..."

For a moment, Chu Jun didn't know what expression to make.

He really didn't understand. He had been continuously researching Rui Zhao since the beginning of the year. After the quarterfinals, he became even more intense after the little witch mocked him.

But in the end, when I was studying the other person...

But the opponent completely ignored his intentions and even pushed the game to the limit?

Chu Jun suddenly felt unhappy that he was being looked down upon, and he became more determined to teach his opponent a lesson in this Rookie of the Year finals.

But at this moment, Lu Wenjie, who had turned off his phone, sighed again:
“But… this women’s competition is all thanks to Rui Zhao!

"If it weren't for her seven-game winning streak that forced the Ice Queen to lose five games in a row in the third stage, she might not have been able to keep the Lakeside Cup this time...

"Although this kid didn't fight the Ice Queen directly in the ring, he still dug a big hole for her!"

"Sister Zou Yang won?"

Chu Jun couldn't help but ask.

The young man with glasses, who spent all his time preparing for the competition, naturally had no spare time to watch the Lakeside Cup more, so he asked this question.

"No, the fourth game just ended, and the Ice Queen won by half a point."

There was no fluctuation in Lu Wenjie's tone.

"what?"

Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Then why are you so optimistic?"

“Of course I am optimistic!”

Lu Wenjie smiled slightly and said:
“Kim Woo Eun could barely stand up after playing this game!
"Compared to the quarterfinals of the Wu Yue Cup, the only thing left is crying and calling for mom!"
