Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

A corner of the cafe in the Zhujin Guest House in the evening of May 5.

The Pohu team, which had just finished today's game, gave a brief post-match summary.

In the first round of the game, the Pohu team had mixed results.

The good news is: in the most crucial dialogue between the two main generals, Rui Zhao won!

The bad news is: today, Uesaka Rei from station 2 and Lu Shijia from station 3 both lost!

Yes. Facing the three strong and balanced Dongjiang teams, both Kosaka and Sister Lu were defeated by a single move.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't win..."

Having lost the first league match, Uesaka Rei apologized to the team with deep regret.

She knew early on that the Pohu team intended to compete for the championship this year, but when facing one of its direct competitors, the Dongjiang women's team, they lost by 2 to 2.5 points, which cast a shadow on their championship bid.

After hearing the Chinese translation given by Assistant Kosaka, Rui Zhao immediately stepped forward to comfort him:

"Rei-chan! Don't worry about it!

"At least I won today! And the gaps in the other two games were pretty close!
"In the next match, as long as I beat Senior Sister Zou again, then as long as one of you and Sister Lu can win a game, we will have the upper hand in the head-to-head match!"

Lu Shijia interrupted:

"Yeah! Xiao Uesaka, don't take it so seriously, it makes me feel embarrassed!

"The season is still long! Losing one game is nothing!"

However, although the players were cheering each other on at this time, manager and team leader Lai Chen, who felt that the team atmosphere was good, nodded but did not say much, as if he was thinking about something.

Although Lu Shijia's words just now were mainly meant to comfort Uesaka Rei who had lost the game, they inadvertently made Lai Chen fall into deep thought.

Eh……

The season is still long? Losing one game is nothing?
I'm afraid that the Dongjiang team and the Suhu team...

I don’t think so…

...

...

[Senior sister, are you okay? ]

[I saw in the news today that you missed the game due to a high fever. Is that serious? ]

March 5, 15 p.m.

Lei Qi, who was preparing for the first Tongge Cup World Championships at home in Dongjiang City, saw the news pushed by Yiguo and immediately sent a WeChat greeting to his senior sister.

The news is very short and the message is very simple:
In the second round of the Women's Weiqi League this afternoon, the match between Suhu team and Rongcheng team, the main player of Suhu women's team was unable to play due to a high fever. Therefore, the original second-stage player Yang Manjing and the third-stage player Tu Tuan, who was poached from the Xidu team that was relegated last year, were promoted one level accordingly, while the third stage was played by the substitute player Yang Wan, who was promoted to the rank last year.

However, the fact before him did make Xiao Lei Jiudan quite confused.

Because in yesterday's game where the Su Hu team won all 4.5 points, Liu Yuhong still maintained a very ideal state against Zheng Caixi and won the game very quickly, but how come he had a fever today!
Lei Qi originally wanted to call her, but then he thought that his senior sister had a fever and might be resting, so he just sent her a WeChat message.

But Xiao Lei Jiudan had no idea at this time that Liu Yuhong actually called him back immediately!

"Hey, Senior Sister, you..."

Lei Qi picked up the phone and was about to ask about the other party's health, but Queen Mulan spoke first with full energy:

"Hey! Xiao Lei, why are you so worried? I'm fine!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, Lei Qi was stunned:

"Then why don't you fight, Senior Sister?"

"Conserve your energy and save your money to deal with Rui Zhao tomorrow!"

Liu Yuhong's answer was very justified.

"To deal with Rui Zhao?"

Comrade Xiao Lei's big eyes were full of doubts, and so was his tone.

"Hey, so, you who have never been chased by this girl, you don't understand how much of a headache it is for me to see her now!"

Liu Yuhong noticed Lei Qi's confusion, sighed and began to explain in detail:
"Perhaps you haven't watched the game she played with Zou Yang yesterday, but her move 65..."

Before Empress Liu could finish her words, Lei Qi replied almost immediately:
“Well, that move was really unreasonable.

"I feel like Sister Zou Yang was also confused when she saw this move, but she made such an unreasonable move, and Sister Zou Yang still couldn't do anything to her - there was already a considerable gap between the two in how they handled the chaotic mid-game battle."

But this time it was Liu Yuhong's turn and he was a little confused!

"Uh... Xiao Lei, did you... look at her chess moves?

"Hey, hey! Don't you basically not watch women's games?
“Even the two times I won the Women’s World Championship, and the time I took the title of Queen from Little Sheep, you didn’t even watch it!

"Hey...are you really having a relationship with Rui Zhao?!"

"Senior sister, what nonsense are you talking about!"

For a moment, Lei Qi was speechless:

“I was just a little surprised when I saw her win over Zou Yang again in the match report yesterday, so I just went in to review the game briefly!

"Senior sister, please stop being so gossipy!"

"That's it..."

Although Liu Yuhong's tone was still full of suspicion, since his junior fellow apprentice firmly denied it, it was naturally not a good idea to ask any more questions, so he changed the subject:

"Hey! Then don't be so surprised in the future!
"Rui Zhao now... I'm afraid it wouldn't be a strange thing for him to beat Xiao Mian Yang and me." "Didn't you just ask me why I pretended to be sick? In fact, the reason is very simple: Rui Zhao's energy in playing chess is amazing! It seems that he never gets tired!
"If you want me to play slow chess for two days in a row and then go to fight her on the third day, I'm basically giving myself away!
"The tragic finals of the Bay Area Masters Competition last year is a lesson for us..."

"what……"

After talking about this, Lei Qi finally reacted.

After the Bay Area Masters Tournament came to an end last year, Liu Yuhong complained to his junior fellow apprentice that the three-race schedule in two days really did not treat the contestants as human beings, but Rui Zhao acted as if nothing had happened!
As a result, in the final, Queen Mulan, who had been fighting continuously, failed to see a single move clearly and was suppressed to death by her opponent, thus becoming the first domestic women's champion of the live broadcast queen.

Due to various restrictions, the Women's Weiqi Zhujin Station will have three rounds in just three days. Generally speaking, most players can only maintain their form by playing slow chess for two consecutive days, and will inevitably start to decline on the third day.

But Rui Zhao was clearly an exception.

In the second stage of the Lakeside Cup Tournament last year, Rui Zhao did not show any signs of fatigue until the last game. You would be overthinking if you thought her form would decline after three games in three days.

But if that's the case, Liu Yuhong has to be on guard.

"I understand……"

Lei Qi nodded and said:

"But you're just going to let go of today's game?!"

"There's nothing I can do! Choose the lesser of two evils!"

The Queen Mulan on the opposite side also sighed visibly at this time:

"I thought about it for a long time last night. Today our team will play the Rongcheng team led by Sister Xuefei.

"The strength of the Chengdu team has not been strong in the past two years, and the second and third stations are lagging behind. I thought about it and let Jingjing play the main player and Tu Yu play the second station, and there is a high probability that we can win smoothly.

"The only thing I am worried about is the third stage. The substitutes will definitely not be strong players, and Yang Wan will most likely lose the one point.

"But there is no other way. As you know, in the current system of Women's Go League, the main general platform is really important.

"Little Sheep already lost the main position to Rui Zhao yesterday. If I lose again tomorrow, the situation will be out of control!

“In the second half of the season, our two teams will have another match against the Pohu team at the end of the season, but we are already seeing that it is difficult to deal with Rui Zhao. With her rate of improvement, it will be even more difficult by the end of the year!

“So, if I lose tomorrow, the pressure of competing for the championship will be too great!

"I see that things are not going well. Do you think I should act cautiously?"

Hearing this, Lei Qi completely understood what his senior sister meant.

What Liu Yuhong said is true: according to the current Women's Weiqi League competition system, the performance of the main general platform does have a huge impact on the overall performance of the team.

Not only does the score have the highest weight, but in the case of the same score, the winning rate of one team is given priority. Therefore, the Suhu team and the Dongjiang team, which have both strengths, can be said to have always had the upper hand in the league competition.

Last year, Yang Manjing and Wang Haocheng of the Su Hu team had an outrageous record of 17 wins and 1 loss respectively, but they still failed to win the final championship. The most direct reason was that the Su Hu team lost to the Dong Jiang team twice on the main stage, and finally the Dong Jiang team ended the opponent's consecutive championship record with the main winning rate.

This year, with Rui Zhao's extremely tough approach in the first round, combined with his outrageous ability to continue to improve and his extremely strong suppression and stability, if he defeats Liu Yuhong again the day after tomorrow, he will most likely win all the games this season!

Zou Yang had already proved last year how much of an advantage a perfect victory at the main stage can bring to the team in the championship race. What's more, this year the two strong teams might even hold each other back!

Once the two teams have a win or loss, the gap between the two teams and the Pohu team on the main stage will be 6 points, which is equivalent to the difference in 4 games on the second stage and 6 games on the third stage!

Considering that the second and third players of the Pohu team are not weak at all, this is a decisive advantage!

No wonder Liu Yuhong was so nervous and afraid of everything after just one game!

Just when Lei Qi finally understood the situation, Liu Yuhong's helpless voice continued to come through the phone:

"Okay, let's stop chatting. I still have to prepare for tomorrow's match with Rui Zhao.

"By the way, don't tell anyone else that I'm faking illness! I haven't told anyone on my team!

"If Jingjing knew that I even avoided a round of fighting just to defeat Rui Zhao, I'm afraid she would have some thoughts in her mind."

"Um……"

Lei Qi nodded in response, said goodbye to his senior sister and hung up the phone.

However, although he could understand all the logic behind this matter, Lei Qi frowned as he put down his phone, and for a moment he felt that the situation was a little outrageous.

There are a total of 18 rounds of the Women's Go League. How come something went wrong after just one game?!

Isn't this how many...

pass?

...

...

In the evening of the same day, the second round of the 2024 Women's Weiqi League was completed at Zhujin Guest House.

In today's match between Rongcheng team and Suhu team, Suhu team's main player Liu Yuhong was absent due to a high fever.

However, for the Chengdu team, which has been struggling on the edge of relegation for the past two years, even though the opponent lacked a main player, it still failed to achieve ideal results.

In the first round, Wen Xuefei was defeated by Yang Manjing, and in the second round, he also failed to defeat Tu Yu.

Only on the third board, facing the opponent's substitute chess player Yang Wan who had not had a chance to play for a long time, did the Rongcheng team finally make a breakthrough and barely took away 1 point.

On the other hand, the Pohu team, which had a bad start in the first round, finally rebounded. Facing the Qilu team, which was also a newly promoted team, all three players of the Pohu team performed well and scored 4.5 points.

then……

The time has come, November 5rd.

The third and final round of the Women's Go League Zhujin Station.

The focus match between Pohu team and Suhu team is about to start. (End of this chapter)
