Chapter 161: Prepare for the Loser
The final of the Hope Cup, like the first one, was a ten-game duel between Lee Cai and Lee Sedol.
Because Lee Sedol and Park Moon-gyu's five-round match has just ended a few days ago, the final of the Hope Cup, Lee Jae-sedol's ten-game matchup, will need to wait for half a month to start.
After all, Li Cai can't let Lee Sedol, who has just finished the competition, immediately play ten games with him, and if he wins, he will be said to be invincible.
Although Go can be played as long as you are sitting, it requires a lot of mental state and mental calculations from the players.
Otherwise, more than ten hours of mental energy consumption must be calculated all the time, and the chess player is not good, because if the brain is confused, if you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game, so the chess player must always stay focused, and every move needs to be carefully thought and scrutinized.
Therefore, after the end of the high-intensity competition, the chess players must be allowed to rest for a while, otherwise when Lee Sedol loses, they will make excuses again, thinking that the sponsor's game schedule is unfair and unfavorable to Lee Sedol.
There is still half a month before the start of the game, because the ten-game game will take at least 20 days, and it is now the end of March, and the ten-game game is over, and it is estimated that April will pass, and in the middle of May, the French Open will start again. In the past two months, Li Cai has to prepare energy to prepare for the ten rounds, and he has to be busy training tennis, preparing to go to France to participate in the French Open.
If you are an ordinary person, it is estimated that you will not have the energy and time to prepare for two completely unrelated competitions, so you can only choose one of the two, give up one game, and then go to the other game well.
It can be said that Go is static, tennis is moving, one static and one moving, two nouns that are opposed to each other.
To sit quietly on the stool, use the brain to think about the chess game, only when the game is lost, will you start to play chess, just like savings, study the game for a long time, in order to play this key move, so to ensure the strength and sense of Go, you need to continue to practice playing chess.
Basically, tennis is running, the whole body needs to move, and only when the game is resting can it be calm, so to maintain the competitive strength of tennis, it can only be maintained through uninterrupted training and practice.
So, both sports take a lot of time and are not the same type of sports, although they both belong to sports, but one is a static sport and the other is a dynamic sport, which is very different.
In particular, Li Cai said that he wanted to win the annual Golden Slam in the tennis Australian Open this year, and he also won the Grand Slam championship of the Australian Open strongly, achieving one of the goals of the annual Golden Slam.
Because of Li Cai's dazzling performance in tennis, many people think that Li Cai spends a lot of time on tennis, and the practice of Go is reduced, and the strength of Go will naturally decline.
This is also the reason why Lee Sedol and the Korean stick dare to be so arrogant, saying that they are sure to win, they think that Lee will focus on tennis, and he will practice tennis during his training time, and there will be very little practice on Go, almost none.
It is true that ordinary people cannot do two things and are able to spread their energy among different types of sports.
If both are static or dynamic, it is difficult, but it is much easier than Li Cai's.
Just like the 100-meter dash and the long jump in dynamic sports, although they are two different sports, there are many similarities between the long jump and the sprint, and the physical requirements for athletes are similar. Both the long jump and the 100-meter dash require athletes to have strong explosiveness, and the long jump also requires athletes to have extreme speed.
Therefore, in the track and field event, if someone is injured and lacks people in the 4x100m event, and needs to borrow someone from other sports groups to make up the number, the first thing that comes to mind is not the 110m hurdles athlete, nor the 400m athlete, but the long jumper.
Because the sprinting speed of the average long jumper is definitely not bad, the 100-meter speed of the top long jumper is faster than that of the average sprinter, and if the sprinter goes to practice the long jump, as long as he can master the long jump technique, he will definitely achieve good results.
So there have been athletes in history who won the world championship in both the long jump and the 100-meter sprint, which is possible and achievable.
In other people's cognition, Li Cai has such a powerful strength in tennis, so the strength of Go will inevitably decline, even if Li Cai is the former world No. 1, which is also the reason why many people are optimistic about Lee Sedol.
And after Li Cai said the rules for foreign chess players, many people felt that Li Cai was famous and began to swell and become arrogant.
Even in the Chinese Go community, it is believed that Li Cai is too big, and it would be good for Li Cai to win Lee Sedol if he guessed first.
Even many tennis fans in China believe that Li Cai will take care of both ends, and he may not be able to complete one goal at that time, lose the Go game, and fail to complete the goal of the tennis Golden Slam.
Although the outside world is not optimistic about Li Cai, Li Cai doesn't care, he does whatever he wants, and even goes to play, completely ignoring the criticism of the outside world.
If there was no time house, Li Cai would not dare to do this, and he would not dare to go outside to play and spend money everywhere now.
But with the time house, Li Cai naturally has plenty of time to maintain the strength of Go and tennis, and even one more sport.
It's just that the achievement points that the time house costs are too expensive, and the 200,000 achievement points that Li Cai obtained at the Australian Open and the hundreds of thousands of achievement points that he usually likes will not take a few days at all.
There is no way, Li Cai can only spend money to make money to achieve points, so that he can have more time to practice.
This is also the reason why Li Cai went out to play and spend money when the game came, and in addition to upgrading the system, Li Cai needed to spend more money, at least to spend 200 million to earn 20 million achievement points.
Li Cai still doesn't like the behavior of a brainless loser, a loser has a purpose and a plan to lose.
Li Cai likes food, so he naturally wants to spend money on food, but if he spends money on food, even if he eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, he will lose millions at most, which is a bit far from Li Cai's goal of wanting to spend 200 million.
What's more, many gourmet snacks are not expensive, if you want to spend 200 million on food, it is enough to eat gold, and you can only quickly spend 200 million by eating diamonds.
During this time, Li Cai needs to use the time house, which requires a large number of achievement points, Li Cai has no choice but to buy some luxury goods, quickly spend 200 million, and earn achievement points for failure.
