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

"Brother Ichijo, I think you have played this game very well!

"It's just that maybe our Japanese chess players are not that good at fast chess!"

2pm, February 8, Dongjiang Hotel.

Takuya Ichijo, who had just finished his Nongshim Cup campaign, returned to his own locker room feeling rather depressed. He was met with the consolation of his own rising star:
"After all... Lei Qi on the opposite side is indeed quite powerful.

"At least compared to the game between you and Lei Qi 9th Dan in the last competition, it feels much better!
"...

“Uh… Rei-chan.

"Can we not mention the game last time?"

Even though the mentality of Japan's number one player has matured a lot compared to last year, he still felt a headache when he heard about the game between him and Lei Qi in the last Nongshim Cup.

"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry!"

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Xiao Uesaka quickly apologized:

"Well, then, Brother Ichijo, let's go back early. I'm sure you're tired too!"

"It doesn't matter these two days!"

Ichijo Takuya waved his hand and said:

"The other purpose of our visit this time has not yet been accomplished."

"what?"

Uesaka Rei couldn't help but wonder:

"But Grandpa Xiaolin told me that the main purpose was to let me feel the atmosphere of the ring match."

"Yes, that's true."

Ichijo Takuya sighed lightly, then smiled slightly and said:

"But the person you need to pay attention to this time is not me."

...

...

"Hmm...After watching this game, I feel that Lei Qi 9th Dan is in good shape!"

At the same time, in Yuzhou, Huaxia, at Dai Ran’s home.

Just last night, during the reversal of the Nongshim Cup match, Dai Ran, who was on the microphone with Rui Zhao, heard a small cheer from the other side:
"He will play with Liu Jiudan tomorrow, so there should be hope!"

Although the girl's main goal this time is to defeat Liu Shixian, she also has to take into account the situation that Lei Qi will be eliminated early and must go into battle early.

So yesterday and this afternoon, Rui Zhao did not look for anyone to play a "welfare game", but chose to watch the chess game review.

"Hmm... it's okay."

"Coach" Dai Ran whispered his agreement with the "young team member's" opinion.

In Dai Gong's opinion, Lei Qi is indeed a very good chess player, and fully deserves the title of "the future number one" recognized by the world chess community.

In the five world championships last year, Lei Qi won two runner-up places and two semi-finals, and his probability of reaching the semi-finals is the highest among all chess players this year.

If we don't just focus on championships, his overall strength and stability are undoubtedly better than Takuya Ichijo who won "one championship and one runner-up" and Xu Xiangheng who won "one championship and one semi-final" last year.

In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are among the top two today.

only……

There are also differences between the top two today...

The next task for this future number one person is to be upgraded suddenly...

With this in mind, Dai Ran thought for a moment and decided that he might need to explain some things to his teammates:
"...I just want to beat Liu Shixian, but I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"Eh?

"Dai Jiuduan, what do you mean..."

Hearing Rui Zhao's serious question, Dai Ran prepared his words and started talking:
“To be honest, Liu Shixian and I are old rivals.

"After playing so many games over the years, I can actually feel that his condition in the Nongshim Cup is different from usual."

"Not the same?"

“Yes – he was definitely more serious in the Nongshim Cup than in most world championships!
“He seemed to enjoy the feeling of playing alone against a group of players, so he was particularly focused and enjoyed the Nongshim Cup.

"Last year, he defeated our entire team by himself. Except for Xiao Lei, the rest of the team could defeat them in a hundred moves. Their strength is terrifying, which is evident.

"At the moment, although Xiao Lei is in good shape, it's probably still difficult to beat him." Dai Ran paused and suddenly turned to another topic:
"Rui Zhao, do you really want to go to the Nongshim Cup?
"If you don't want to go, I'll fly to Dongjiang tomorrow to take your place."

"……what?"

Faced with this sudden proposal, it can be heard that Rui Zhao was a little confused for a moment.

"Um, um, Dai Jiudan, why do you suddenly say that?"

Dai Ran spoke slowly with a slightly hoarse voice:
"Rui Zhao, coming to this stage with a wild card is not as simple as playing a game of chess.

“You know, in the past year or so, our performance has not been very good, and public opinion in the circle has been very sensitive.

“As the saying goes…If one’s virtue does not match his position, disaster will surely come.

"If you don't win the game with the wild card, I'm afraid you will be criticized for a long time in the future. But winning the game... that's easier said than done!

“Although Ni Jue taught you his flying knife library, don’t think that you can defeat Liu Shixian just by having the advantage of a flying knife.

“Although he usually wins a lot of chess games with a small number of points, it seems that he can win with a flying knife.

“But that was just a symptom of his pursuit of a safe win.

"If you really rely on flying knives to gain an advantage, then 'Liu Bu Shou' is not just a name - Ni Jue's game in the round of 16 of the Sanshuang Cup is a good example.

"And you, although you may have reached the level of 9th dan in rapid chess, the gap between 9th dan and other dans is sometimes even bigger than that between 9th dan and lower dan!
“Even if you bring a flying knife, your chances of winning against Liu Shixian won’t be higher than Xiao Lei’s.

"I think it's unnecessary to get yourself involved in such a big controversy over a game that you have a very high chance of not winning.

"It would be better if I took the blame. I believe Liu Shixian won't say anything."

"what……

"Dai Jiudan, you are worried about this..."

After saying this, Rui Zhao on the opposite side finally understood the situation.

But without any hesitation, the girl gave her answer:
"But if that's the only problem, don't worry about it! I don't really pay attention to what other people say!

"As for strength...

"Although I am still far behind Liu Jiudan and Lei Qi Jiudan! But maybe I can perform beyond my normal level for once!"

Hearing the little diva's brisk response, Dai Ran, who usually spoke little, couldn't help but remind her again:

"You...think about it carefully again!

“Don’t look at it now. It seems that no one on the Internet is paying attention to the substitute chess player issue for the time being. But that’s only because Xiao Lei helped you attract attention at the opening ceremony the day before yesterday. Everyone is paying attention to tomorrow’s game.

"Once Xiao Lei loses the game tomorrow, you will be in the spotlight immediately! Do you understand?!"

As he spoke, Dai Ran, who originally had a low voice, couldn't help but become a little anxious.

To be honest, through the contact during this Spring Festival, Dai Gongzhineng has become more and more accepting of Rui Zhao, a good friend and junior sister with whom he had not had much contact before.

Smart, hardworking, focused, and loves Go from the bottom of his heart.

Faced with such a girl, Dai Ran, who also had a strong sense of responsibility, naturally felt a desire to protect her. He felt that instead of letting such a hope for the future of Chinese Go be caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, it would be better for him to take the blame.

but……

Rui Zhao's ideas were obviously different from his.

"Actually... I don't really know what people are saying about it online right now."

Queen Zhaotian on the other end of the microphone seemed a little embarrassed:
“But I just know that many people around me are looking forward to this victory in the Nongshim Cup.

"In half a month, I will be twenty years old, so I am no longer a child!
“Besides, I am the title holder, so I can’t hide behind my elders and senior brothers and sisters any longer.

“Although I may not be able to defeat Liu Jiudan, since Chairman Shang and Senior Brother Ni think that I am capable enough to give it a try, I have no reason to disappoint them!

“That, Dai Jiudan!
“Thank you for your guidance during this period! I benefited a lot!
"Here... I'm going to go to Dongjiang Hotel tomorrow to make final preparations!
"No matter whether Lei Qi Jiudan can beat Liu Jiudan tomorrow, I will be prepared for everything!"

"..."

Seeing Rui Zhao had said so much, Dai Ran stopped talking and said after a while:

"I see……

"Then Rui Zhao, I wish you good luck."

"Ok!"

After sending his final blessings, Dai Ran didn't say much and exited the live broadcast cleanly.

However, he, who had just ended the call, opened the document file and began to silently look at the snow-white empty document page, as if he was thinking about something... (End of this chapter)
