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

Chapter 508: Nongshim Cup is coming again

After hearing what Du Weichen said, the members of the Pohu team knew that Elder Du might have to unify their thoughts and spirits because of the recent losing streak, so they all sat down quietly and waited for the commander and coach to give a speech.

Seeing that everyone was in place, Du Weichen cleared his throat and began:
"Well... we are all brothers, so there is no need to beat around the bush about some things!
"Although the regular season has just reached 40%, we only have one point now, which is three points behind Qiannan, which is ranked third from the bottom! We are in the same boat with the Qinghai-Tibet team, so no one should laugh at the other.

"Look at it this way...if nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely only be one chance to stay in the league."

At this point, the team members remained silent, but they all understood what Elder Du meant.

Although the Pohu team is consistently ranked in the bottom two according to its current development, it is highly likely that this will become a foregone conclusion, and there are also two teams that are relegated from the Weiqi League every year.

However, unlike the football league system where relegation spots are determined directly after the end of the league, in order to allow the mid- and lower-level teams with poor performance to play more games, the second half of the teams also have playoffs - but unlike the first half of the teams competing for the championship, the second half of the teams use a reverse bubble match to decide the two relegation spots.

Since it is a reverse bubble match, it means that the Poyang team still has a chance to fight hard in the playoffs and strive for relegation - but there is only one chance and there is no room for error.

"…So, for the next game, everyone, relax a little. Just think of yourself as definitely being in the bottom two, and don't have any psychological burden!
“Treat every game as your last and don’t be afraid of losing.

"have you understood?"

"I understand." ×3
Elder Du nodded upon seeing this, and then turned his gaze to the two young team members:

"The other thing is... my second niece, Xiao Wei!
"You two youngsters should take advantage of this six months or so to work hard on improving your chess skills!

"That's basically it for Xiao Gu and I! Next year's playoff relegation battle will basically depend on the improvement of the two of you!
"If you two continue like this, it will be difficult for our team next year..."

"Okay!" "Yeah, sure, Brother Du!"

Seeing that the two team members were very cooperative, Elder Du was quite satisfied.

In fact, objectively speaking, the regular season of the Chinese Go League has only been completed for 40%. It is a bit early to give up now.

However, the reason why Du Weichen said this is not to say that he really gives up on the regular season completely, but to put himself in a position where he can "attack when advancing and defend when retreating."

First of all, it is true that the Pohu team has a high probability of being in the bottom two, but after all, there is still more than half of the schedule, and they cannot completely give up the opportunity to catch up.

It's just that the team has been losing battles and morale is low. If we still emphasize the need to have a sense of crisis and strive to move forward to rank higher, it will easily put too much pressure on the players.

It would be better to lower the goal and relieve the pressure on the players. This way, they will be able to perform better and maybe even get to the third from the bottom!

Even if the team is still in the bottom two at the end of the season, the players will not be overly frustrated for not achieving their goals.

As for reminding Rui Zhao and Wei Zhenzhong to work hard to improve their strength... it is the truth.

Given the current situation, we really have to rely on these two young players to continue to improve, otherwise no matter which team falls, the Pohu team will have a hard time dealing with them.

But thinking of this, Elder Du couldn't help but complain:

"…But my second niece, I really don't want to talk about you!
"What did you say in the live broadcast earlier that you wanted to be targeted?
"Now that's good, every time your opponent sees you, they'll be especially considerate of you! Old Dragon Uncle has been so frustrated by you that he can't even slay the dragon anymore, so he'll just take advantage of your official weakness to defeat you!
"I was counting on your fast chess table to get more points, but now it's just a stable one!"

“(＞人＜；) Yes, I’m sorry!

"I, I just wanted to take this opportunity to work on overcoming my shortcomings, and now I'm working hard to make up for my shortcomings in endgame!"

"You should work hard in your private training! Wouldn't that be a drain on the team?"

"But, but! Training and competition are different!

"Or...Brother Du, can you play more practice matches with me? Be serious!"

"Think beautifully!"

Du Weichen immediately tapped Rui Zhao's head lightly to express his refusal.

My second niece is a well-known new generation champion. If I have nothing to do, I can have a training match with her...

Don’t you want to live like this?!

"…You should first reflect on yourself for publicly asking for criticism!
"I haven't settled accounts with you yet for bringing the team's results down so badly!"

But at this time, Wei Zhenzhong, who was still a little green, said quickly:

"That elder...

"Although Rui Zhao has lost three games in a row recently... But to be honest, she has won the most among us." "The main reason why our team is so backward now... Isn't it because you, the elder, have only won one game and lost four games so far?"

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Du Weichen couldn't hold back his expression:

"Xiao Wei, you still have the nerve to say that!

"Isn't there a pot here that you haven't opened yet?
"What's more, the main generals are basically facing the strongest players from other teams! If I don't fight the difficulties, who will?

"Are you going to throw a girl like Rui Zhao onto the main stage? Huh?!"

"Eh?!"

Du Weichen originally meant to criticize Wei Zhenzhong, but before Wei Zhenzhong could react, Rui Zhao, who had just been reprimanded by the team leader, suddenly had his eyes light up:
“R-Really?!
"There is actually such a good thing?!!!"

"..."

Seeing his niece's tone suddenly rising, Du Weichen's forehead twitched:
No!

You've been losing so badly recently, and you still complain that your opponent is not strong enough!
Although he had just said something very bad, the captain of the Pohu team had not really given up the possibility of improving his ranking in the future. Of course, it was impossible for him to do as the girl wished, and he immediately scolded her:
“Stop it!
"With your level, you still want to be the main general? Don't you see how badly you have lost recently?"

However, Rui Zhao, whose interest had already been aroused, did not simply admit his mistake this time. Instead, he started to retort:

“Recently… my grades haven’t been very good! But I feel like I’m still making progress!

"Besides, Brother Du, your level isn't that good...

"I won the first game I played, but you only won one game after playing five games. I don't think I would be that bad if I played!
"Maybe...Brother Du, you can't beat me in slow chess now!"

Hey! ! !
When did this girl start talking back?

Du Weichen was immediately furious:

"Ha! You're still panting when I tell you you're fat?
"That's fine! Let's play a game now! I'll tell you what it means to be ignorant of the immensity of the world!"

"Okay! That's exactly what I meant!"

Rui Zhao puffed up the corners of his mouth, then stood up decisively, looking eager to try.

"Okay then! I'll get the chessboard!"

Elder Du, who was furious, immediately walked out, ready to look for chess sets and chess clock. No matter what he said today, he was going to teach this ignorant niece a lesson!
But after taking just two steps, Du Weichen suddenly realized that something seemed wrong...

...Huh? No!
Why did I... add a chess game to myself for no apparent reason? !

And this chess...

It seems like I have to win!

Thinking of this, Du Wei Chen couldn't help but turn around and look at Rui Zhao.

But he saw his second niece standing there with a pure face, as clean as a newly blooming lotus:
"Huh? Brother Du, why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?

"On my face...

"Is there anything?"

...

...

After the sixth round of the Chinese Weiqi League ended, the Chinese men's chess world entered a relatively quiet week according to the arrangements of various competitions.

The vast majority of male chess players above the middle level did not have any competitions during the week, with only one exception.

On the evening of September 9, after finishing the away game against the Qilu team, the Chinese chess master Sun Yi, who had adjusted his condition, took his previously packed luggage and rushed to Dajing City that night to meet with the vice chairman of the Chess Association Lu Wenjie and the national team coach Jiao Kai, preparing to participate in the official opening on the evening of September 3...

The 26th Nongshim Ramen Cup World Go Team Championship.
