Chapter 20: The Pre-Race Turmoil

There are two days left before the second round of this Samsung Cup.

When Lee Sedol was interviewed by reporters, he was simply crazy and didn't take Li Cai in his eyes at all.

"What do you think of your next opponent, Huaguo's seven-year-old genius chess player?" asked the reporter during the interview.

And Lee Sedol smiled and said: "I think I will definitely win in the next round, he is too young, he has no game skills and game experience, he is just lucky to enter the top 16 of the Samsung Cup, and even his teacher Nie Whirlwind deliberately released water to let him win, so that he can become famous, after all, our Korean chess players are better than them in the past games, and we South Korea won the Three Kingdoms Tournament, maybe they need the next generation of chess players to stand up and suppress us!" However, when he grows up, our next generation of Korean chess players will still be better than their Chinese chess players. ”

When the South Korean reporters in the audience heard this, they couldn't help nodding their heads, thinking that Lee Sedol was right, and when he finished speaking, they all applauded and agreed.

And when reporting, Lee Sedol's original words were written word for word.

Before the game, Li Cai was playing chess in the hotel, looking at the computer, and the door was not out, as a dead house.

Li Cai is playing in the hotel to maintain his chess sense so that he can cope with the next game.

The door slammed open, and Senior Brother Gu Dali came in.

Looking at the angry senior brother, Li Cai asked curiously and asked, "What's wrong with the senior brother, was he taught a lesson by the master?"

Gu Dali said: "Hmph, it's not for you that I'm angry. Before the game, no matter what the reporter asks you, you don't say anything, just do your best during the game. After all, although Lee Sedol has a stinky mouth and is crazy, his strength is indeed very strong, and among the Korean chess players of this generation, Li Shifo can suppress him. ”

Listening to the inexplicable words of the senior brother, Li Cai didn't know what was going on, so he just nodded in response.

After the senior brother left, Li Cai hurriedly went online to check what happened.

As a result, seeing the news reported by the South Korean media, Li Cai also became angry. In particular, after seeing the slanderous words of the teacher Nie Lao, I felt unreasonable, and the Korean reporter also believed that this was not gossip news, but the Korean National Sports Newspaper! These words also dared to be published, this is the fearlessness of the ignorant!

After Li Cai watched it, he didn't have the heart to play the score, and the whole person couldn't calm down.

At this time, Lee Sedol, who was at home, was leisurely drinking tea and resting comfortably.

His wife asked, "Isn't what you said in the media very popular with Chinese chess players? And you are still playing in the Chinese Go League." ”

Lee Sedol said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, I'm talking about winning the next game, I'm saying, the First Division League is not for them to run, it was the sponsor who invited me to go, if it weren't for the money, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to it." And Li Cai, this kid, I watched which game of chess he played against Nie Whirlwind, the layout is very strong, the chess situation is very keen, the calculation ability is great, and the strength is first-class, only the game experience is missing, at his current age, it is indeed very demonic, I am not completely sure to win. ”

When his wife heard this, her face immediately changed: "It's like this, then you still say this in front of reporters, what if you lose?"

Lee Sedol said unhurriedly: "What are you afraid of, what I said, he will definitely know before the game, and this is psychological warfare, he is so young now, his mind is immature, I am so stimulated, he will definitely not be able to calm down, it is estimated that he will play with emotions when playing chess, so it is easy to make mistakes, and his mid-game is average, and I caught a mistake, then I will win." ”

After listening to Lee Sedol's explanation, his wife was relieved.

……

After Li Cai's anger, he calmed down, and originally kept the achievement points for his parents. However, when this happened, Li Cai planned to redeem a card in the mall to cope with the next game. After all, Lee Sedol is indeed strong, and his "zombie stream" can be said to be superb, and he has the wind of everyone, while Li Cai is average, and it is very difficult to deal with a master like Lee Sedol.

In the mall, Li only looked at it for a long time and finally found a suitable card.

Spent the remaining 1,000 achievement points to buy a silver card.

After Li Cai redeemed it, he only waited for the game to use it on Lee Sedol to give him a fatal blow.

After being fully prepared, Li Cai is now ready for everything, and only owes the east wind.

Soon, the Samsung Cup round of 16 was about to start, and Li Cai was ready to enter the competition venue with the Huaguo chess players.

Outside the stadium, many South Korean reporters waited early, just waiting for the players to come and interview.

And when Li Cai came, the reporters all rushed to Li Cai excitedly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The South Korean reporter asked: "Li Caixiao chess player, what do you think of what Lee Sedol said, he said that your teacher deliberately let you, is this true?"

Before Li Cai could speak, Gu Dali, the senior brother next to him, said angrily: "Lee Sedol is just talking nonsense, seeing that my junior brother is young and playing psychological warfare, he is not confident to win. Anyone who has watched that game of chess knows that the junior brother won the dignified and beautiful, and there is no master who deliberately let him. ”

After Gu Dali finished speaking, he didn't wait for the reporter to ask, and took Li Cai into the arena.

Inside, Master Nie Whirlwind was actually inside, and saw Li Cai coming.

Nie Lao said to Li Cai: "I deliberately came to Seoul from Beijing again, just to tell you, don't be nervous, don't listen to what the outside media say, just give full play to your strength level." It doesn't matter if you lose, you're still young, you don't have much competition experience, you can pass the qualifiers for the first time, and participate in an international competition like the Samsung Cup, which is already amazing, and don't have to feel pressure. ”

It seems that after seeing the news report, Nie Whirlwind understood Li Sedol's sinister intentions, and was also worried that after Li Cai lost, he would lose confidence in himself, which would lead to a sharp decline in the level of Go in the future.

It's a pity that Li Sedol didn't expect that his methods couldn't hit Li Cai at all, because Li Cai was not a child, but a reborn adult. These actions can only provoke Li Cai's anger. Originally, Li Cai planned to use his own strength to compete in order to hone himself. It can be said that Lee Sedol is really unlucky!

Seeing that for his own sake, after the master Nie Whirlwind was eliminated, he came to Seoul from Shangjing again, just to cheer him on.

Li Cai was very moved by the behavior of his master Nie Whirlwind, and secretly decided in his heart that he must win.

Li Cai took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, walked into the arena, and looked at his opponent Lee Sedol, with a calm demeanor, without a little panic and anger at all.

This surprised Lee Sedol and felt that Lee was too calm and unexpected.
