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

"Lei Qi, 9th Dan, congratulations on reaching the semifinals! This game this morning was beautiful!
"I was quite worried about your condition, but it seems I was worrying too much!"

September 9th, 30: noon, Zhongjing International Conference Center.

Lei Qi, who had just finished an interview and returned to the players' rest area, received congratulations from his only teammate in the men's individual event.

However, the Chinese leader, who was treated as a "younger brother", was not in a very good mood about the other party's congratulations:

"...

"…The match with Xu Lifan 9th Dan was just an accident."

Xiao Lei Jiudan had a stern face and responded very briefly.

To be honest, Lei Qi really thought he played well this morning. He even thought about finding his "enemy" to refute the statement of his so-called "brother" just after he finished playing.

But after the game, after taking a look at the chess record of the famous Zhaojun in the quarterfinals, the Chinese chess master gave up the idea.

Compared with Sister Long, who suddenly slayed the dragon and defeated the number one player in Japan in just 159 moves, he, who just controlled the game relatively calmly and defeated Da Pu, seemed to be still a younger brother, and there was nothing much to talk about with her.

If I really want to clear my name... I have to win the next game!

Thinking of this, Xiao Lei Jiudan secretly clenched his fists.

But even though there was nothing extra to say, Lei Qi still reminded the other party:
"...However, Osagento is in really good shape in this competition.

"You still have to be more careful."

"Yeah, don't worry about that!"

Rui Zhao responded very affirmatively:
"Although I prefer to slay dragons, I will never make the same mistake that you, Lei Qi Jiudan, made in your game of chess yesterday afternoon!"

……Depend on.

This game of chess is really impossible to pass, right? ! !
Lei Qi cursed in his heart with a twisted expression.

I clearly put the overall situation first, so why do I have to suffer repeated attacks? ? !

The young leader's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he was about to prepare words to fight back, but he didn't expect that the little fool suddenly added:
"Lei Qi Jiudan, you too, work hard to beat Liu Jiudan this afternoon! We have never met in the finals of an international competition!

"We failed to meet successfully in the previous Tongge Cup and Miaojia Bailing Cup, so we must seize the opportunity in this Asian Games!"

"……Eh?"

Xiao Lei Jiudan, who was feeling quite annoyed, was somewhat surprised by these words.

He blinked a few times briskly, then asked hesitantly:

"In this afternoon's semi-final, you...

"Would you rather I win?"

"Of course! We are teammates!"

The beauty of the same age opposite her answered without any hesitation:
“Besides, the Zhao Miao Cup will start tomorrow!

"If we can win the first and second place, more people will pay attention to the Zhao Miao Cup and professional Go! How could I not want you, Lei Qi Jiudan, to enter the finals!"

“…That’s right!”

Although in theory Rui Zhao would prefer his teammates to enter the finals, this is a natural thing.

But for some reason, after hearing his "archenemy"'s statement, Lei Qi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed all over, and his originally somewhat irritable mood suddenly became refreshed.

Although I may still be inferior to Liu Shixian in the fast chess field...

But there is still a chance!
After all, she even said that I was her “little brother”!

"So……

"See you in the finals!"

"Well, see you in the finals!"

...

...

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Liu!

"We are one step closer to the Asian Games gold medal that we missed in the last Qiantang Asian Games!" At the same time, in another corner of the Zhongjing International Conference Center, there is a rest area for the South Korean team's players.

Seeing his number one player return triumphantly without any bloodshed, Zhao Libo, vice president of the South Korean Chess Institute, who was waiting there, immediately sent his blessings.

"Ah, thank you, Vice Chairman!"

Although he felt a little tired after all the trip down, the number one man in the world was still polite as usual:

"I will continue to work hard in the semi-finals this afternoon."

"Yeah, I believe you can help Min Lie get revenge!"

Although Park Min-yeol was eliminated by Lei Qi in the quarterfinals in the morning, Zhao Libo cannot always rely on this nervous player to perform exceptionally well.

South Korea's last hope of winning a gold medal in the men's individual event ultimately depends mainly on this player who is one of the top two players in history.

Therefore, in addition to congratulating, Zhao Libo also did not forget to encourage his strongest chess player:
“…Xiao Liu.

“Although it’s a pity that I didn’t win the record-breaking fourth consecutive world championship title at the Tongge Cup, the individual gold medal at the Asian Games is indeed a good opportunity to make a name for myself!”

"You know, we Chinese people have never cared about the content of any sport. We have always followed the trend of Europe and the United States. Therefore, our Go has always been regarded as an antique by young people in China, and the decline of fresh blood is very serious.

“This time, Rui Zhao unexpectedly became a big hit in the European and American media, which is a rare opportunity.

“Although the European and American media are still focusing on this fast chess Athena, as long as you beat Rui Zhao in the final and get the Asian Games gold medal, our chess academy can take advantage of the opportunity to promote and draw attention to you, who is about to become the best in history!
"With the attention and endorsement from European and American media, I believe that the public's interest in Go will take a big step forward!"

Take a big step...?

Hearing this, Liu Shixian subconsciously lowered his eyes.

If a female chess player like Rui Zhao, who is extremely good-looking, won the gold medal by defeating a group of male chess players, it would naturally be a hot topic. But if a South Korean male player like me won the championship...

How many Europeans and Americans are willing to pay more attention to this?

However, although he did not completely agree with what his vice-chairman said, Liu Shixian still nodded calmly.

“…I understand that.

"I have always been determined to win the gold medal in this Asian Games!"

Even if it does not attract the attention of Europeans and Americans, the importance of this Asian Games gold medal to the entire South Korean Go is self-evident.

In recent years, South Korean Go has always relied on outstanding results in international competitions to survive.

Even though the young master of the Liu family has won 2020 world championships since , and has twice accomplished the feat of "one man destroying a country" in the Nongshim Cup, which is almost godlike! The entire South Korean Go still seems half-dead and has no successors. The country has even cut off the special funding for Go.

If South Korean Go loses to its old rival China in the Asian Games and takes all three gold medals, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to its reputation in the country.

"Good! Very impressive!"

Seeing that Liu Shixian responded very affirmatively, Zhao Libo nodded with satisfaction, and then very kindly invited him to have lunch together.

However, the young master of the Liu family refused without hesitation, saying that he needed to make adjustments to prepare for war.

If he wants to win gold in the men's individual event, he will have to face China's "post-05" twin stars next!

Although theoretically, Xu Lifan also has the possibility of entering the finals, the world's number one player has full confidence in the "Fast Chess Athena".

Even though Lei Qi was slightly weaker in fast chess, Liu Shixian was not allowed to be careless in the head-to-head confrontation in the group stage. He even forced him to make a big move in the final countdown!
Lei Qi and Rui Zhao...

This is really not an easy combination to win!

Thinking of this, the young master of the Liu family, who had already said goodbye to Zhao Libo and turned to leave, couldn't help but reveal a slightly bitter smile.

This should be called... "Ye Gong loves dragons"!

China is truly a great country with a long history!

Being able to come up with such an apt idiom...

There can also be such an outstanding new star!

But after a bitter smile, Liu Shixian quickly calmed down.

However, since the dragon has arrived, then I...

You can't be so cowardly as to flee in despair, right? (End of this chapter)
