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

"Xiao Lei...what's wrong with you?!

"I was waving at you when the award ceremony was just now, why didn't you respond?!"

September 9, 26: p.m., Zhongjing International Conference Center.

Liu Yuhong, who had just returned to the rest area after attending the award ceremony, saw his junior brother waiting there and couldn't help but complain in a low voice:
"I originally thought that you had grown up by coming over early to celebrate my victory, but it turns out that you were like a blockhead when I wanted to interact with you!
"With this reaction, be careful you won't find a girlfriend in the future!
"Right, monkey?"

“…Ah? Yes, yes, yes!”

Sun Yi, whose desire to survive had been trained since he fell in love, responded repeatedly:

"Xiao Lei, judging from your performance, I'm sure Aunt Qin must have called you a blockhead behind your back!"

"Uh……"

Faced with the questioning from his senior sister, Lei Qi was speechless for a moment.

I can't tell him that I was just thinking about what Liu Shixian said, and at the same time I was concentrating on looking at that "old enemy"...

Thinking of this, Lei Qi couldn't help but glance at the contemporary Zhaojun, who was still very calm.

Rui Zhao was still as calm as when he went on stage to receive the award just now, and even spoke up for Lei Qi:

"Sister Yu Hong, the men's team competition will be held this afternoon! I guess Lei Qi Jiudan is also thinking about how to deal with potential opponents in the afternoon, so he didn't notice that you waved to him!

"Is that right? Lei Qi Jiudan?"

“…Ah, yeah!”

Although the opportunity offered by his old enemy seemed a little strange, Lei Qi, who was speechless after being rebuked by his senior sister, quickly accepted it.

After hearing Lei Qi's response, Empress Zhaotian, who had been calm just now, showed a rare bright smile:

"Hey, I knew it!

"In fact, after the women's team final, I have been thinking about how to play the men's team game in the afternoon!"

"……Eh?"

Lei Qi was stunned, then asked:

"So you seemed to be in low spirits just now. Was it because you were thinking about strategies for the afternoon game?"

"Yes, after all, I have more than just a girl group project!
"But, but you can't say I'm not in high spirits, right? I'm also very happy to win the gold medal!"

Xiaohanhan puffed up the corners of his mouth slightly to refute Lei Qi's inaccurate wording:

"Ah... let's not delay! Senior Brother Sun, Lei Qi 9th Dan, let's go find Coach Jiao right away!

"The men's team finals will begin in just over an hour, so we definitely need to make some more preparations!"

"Rui Zhao, wait a minute!

"You just finished the girls' finals! You need to eat something and rest for a while!"

"Hmm? No need for Lei Qi Jiudan, I'll just grab some bread and fruit to eat!

"I didn't put any effort into this game this morning!"

"..."

Although he knew that Rui Zhao had completely crushed Jin Youen in the morning, when the person involved said "it didn't take any effort at all", Lei Qi really didn't know how to respond for a moment.

……

At 2:45 p.m. on the same day, at Zhongjing International Conference Center.

The final match of the men's team event of the 2026 Asian Games Go in Zhongjing has been officially announced:

Lei Qi vs An Ming Jiao

【Ji Qiujuan】 vs 【Li Tingyan】

[Rui Zhao] versus [Xu Xiangheng]

【Xiong Siyi】 vs 【Park Minyeol】

【Sun Yi】 vs 【Liu Shixian】

...

...

This time...it's my turn...

After the final matchup was officially announced, Xu Xiangheng, who was standing in the South Korean team's lineup, frowned subconsciously, but then nodded.

Although it is not good news to face the Queen Zhao, who is feared by many South Korean chess players, it is indeed a relatively ideal matchup for the entire South Korean team.

The Chinese women's team this year can be called a dream team, but the Chinese men's team is not far behind.

Three of the top four players in the world are on his team, and all of them are good at suppressing their opponents, while Ji and Xiong are undoubtedly in the top ten in the world.

In contrast, South Korea is facing internal and external troubles.

Although the South Korean team also has five world champions among the six players, apart from the world's number one player who is at his peak, only the 27-year-old Dae Park still has enough fighting power. Lee and Xu have both declined compared to their peak period.

As for Shin Chung-yoon and An Myung-gyo, they are even worse off: not only are they only at the weakest level, but they were also beaten badly by Socheon in the Nongshim Cup and the Asian Games Round Robin, and their PTSD has not subsided yet. In the end, they can only choose An, who has been relatively slow for a long time.

With this calculation, it is probably an exaggeration to say that the South Korean men's team has a 20% chance of defending the title in this Asian Games! This matchup can be said to be quite good at playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses:

The number one person in the world faced the opponent's strength and weakness identifier, and he undoubtedly used the king to control 2, which was considered to be the maximum use of combat power.

An Mingjiao's "low-grade horse" was successfully delivered to the opponent's leader, which was considered a small set of 3 to get rid of the opponent's king.

Da Pu has been in good shape recently. Although he is not invincible, he should be evenly matched with Xiong Siyi. Old Li, who is almost 33 years old, is definitely at a disadvantage against Ji Qiujuan, but it cannot be said that he has no chance at all.

Counting all these, South Korea already has a certain chance of winning three games!
The only one who is miserable is probably myself...

You know, the "Queen of Hearts" he just drew can probably be used as the king in the fast chess competition of the Asian Games!

In the women's team final this morning, she faced Kim Woo-eun and brought her to the brink of victory with just 56 moves. You can see how terrifying she is!
Thinking of this, Xu Xiangheng shuddered subconsciously.

But after all, he was also a veteran who had been through many battles. After sorting out his thoughts, he quickly calmed down.

...It's okay. My goal isn't to win anyway!
As long as we can hold back the opponent and prevent the fast chess Athena's quick victory from affecting other stations, then we will win!

After making up their minds, Xu Xiangheng and his teammates encouraged each other.

As the leader of chess players in South Korea, Lao Li can naturally think of what Xu Xiangheng can think of.

While Li Jungyeon expressed that he would work hard with Park Min-yeol to defeat Ji Qiujuan and Xiong Siyi, he also told An Mingjiao and Xu Xiangheng to just keep the situation stable and not force themselves too much - even though they all knew that they could just lose these two games, a quick win or loss at any stage in the team competition would inevitably affect the mentality of the other players on both teams.

As the game was about to start, the players from both sides took their seats one by one.

Sitting behind the chess table, Xu Xiangheng subconsciously glanced at the fast chess player Athena opposite him, secretly expecting that the current Zhaojun, who had fully exerted herself in the team competition this time, would show some signs of fatigue in the women's team final in the morning. But unfortunately...

Not at all.

Rui Zhao, who was sitting on the other side, was calm and composed, and even seemed to be eager to try his hand at this game!

Well……

What a physical monster!
Old Xu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

But he also knew that as a little chess madman who had won the Lakeside Cup, Dragon Star Tournament and the first stage of the Asian Games qualifiers in a month, the intensity of the Asian Games team competition might not be able to cause effective consumption to Rui Zhao.

Soon, Lei Qi and An Mingjiao on the first table finished guessing the first move. An Mingjiao guessed the black chess piece, and the order of moves for the other four tables was also determined.

South Korea plays black on 1, 3 and 5, while China plays the opposite.

Xu Xiangheng took the black chess box and took a deep breath, waiting for the referee's instructions. There was a tense atmosphere in the air.

As the referee announced the start of the game, the Asian Games men's team finals officially began!
After the salute, Lao Xu quickly made his move according to his pre-match ideas.

Rui Zhao continued his extremely fast pace of chess moves since the Asian Games. He almost did not think twice in the early stages of the layout, making it clear that he still wanted to end the game quickly!

However, despite Rui Zhao's impressive performance, Xu Xiangheng still played the game at his own pace.

He knew that facing this fast chess Athena, it would be a dead end to play fast against her. So he did not hesitate at all when he needed to think.

After the two sides had simply formed their positions at the four corners, in the 29th move, Xu Xiangheng chose to occupy the right side, and after Rui Zhao made a sharp move in the lower right, Xu decisively made a big flying move, and the shape of the black pieces on the right side began to gradually expand.

This was also one of his pre-match strategies: when facing Rui Zhao, try to fight in a big way and wait for the opponent to break in.

Although Empress Zhaotian has had many classic cases of "killing a strong opponent with a single piece", compared to letting Sister Long attack her, it is undoubtedly a wiser approach to let the opponent attack her first and then dominate the rhythm.

As expected, in the 30th move, Rui Zhao made a hanging move on the sixth row without much thought, invading and eliminating the black pieces.

Although this move is not a fixed pattern, it is also a normal way of thinking. After thinking for a while, Lao Xu used a small flying move to protect the edge space first, while waiting for an opportunity to attack the white piece.

However, less than two seconds after this move was completed, Rui Zhao made another move - a right upper shoulder charge!
...Tsk!

Is it raining so hard?
Xu Xiangheng muttered secretly in his heart - because the continuous sound of the pieces falling just now had already attracted the attention of several teammates on the side.

Of course, it is understandable that the South Korean team members would react in this way.

After all, in the last round of the round-robin tournament, Shen Laodeng was killed by Rui Zhao amid the constant countdown and continuous moves, so it is inevitable that everyone will have some paranoid fears at the moment.

But it’s okay…

When the game became a little more complicated, she slowed down.

Although I am not in my peak condition now, I am not yet thirty years old and am still among the top chess players.

If you act that fast against me, I'll be in trouble!

Xu Xiangheng still followed his own pace and chose to calm down in the 35th move - but Rui Zhao still had no intention of slowing down!
In the 36th move, the white chess piece moves out in the lower right corner in seconds!
This……

Seeing this, Xu Xiangheng's eyes widened, but he had to admit: there was nothing obvious wrong with this move itself!
It’s okay, it’s okay!
She was just launching a psychological attack on me, trying to disrupt my chess rhythm.

Don't be led astray by her!

After thinking carefully for a while, Lao Xu finally chose to dig out the strongest hand!

It is inevitable that white pieces will capture, and then black pieces will stick, white pieces will stick, black pieces will push, white pieces will push in the corners - this is all a good strategy.

During this period, White continued to make moves in seconds. The sound of the two sides' chess pieces falling like pearls on a jade plate even attracted Liu Shixian on the fifth table to take a look.

This little fool...when did he become so good at psychological warfare!

Xu Xiangheng couldn't help but curse inwardly.

But the next move went beyond the scope of the original move - the black chess piece jumped out to the center of the abdomen and began to challenge the white chess piece to respond!
There are various local changes here, and it involves the thickness of the black pieces on the left and right sides. In Lao Xu's opinion, this is something that needs to be carefully considered.

However, less than three seconds after the jump, Rui Zhao made her choice again!

Move 44, Tiger!
So far, Rui Zhao has made 22 moves since the beginning of the game, and the total time is less than one minute!!!

Although the Chinese celebrity Zhaojun has performed such unreasonable speed performances in many competitions since this year's Lakeside Cup, it shouldn't be a big surprise if it happens again.

But at this moment, Xu Xiangheng was a little confused when he looked at the chess game in front of him! It took him more than ten seconds to gradually come back to his senses, and at the same time, he looked at his opponent who was concentrating on the chess game with doubt:
No-right?!

Even if he was facing himself, who was one of the top three and strongest nine masters in South Korea...

Should we also treat this fast chess Athena as a small fry? ! ! ! (End of this chapter)
