Chapter 424: A Touchstone for Da Li
"Amazing courage, unparalleled courage, Li Canghao staged the return of the king......"
"In the first game of the Samsung Cup finals, it was not so much that Li Canghao defeated Li Xiangping, but that Li Canghao defeated himself......"
"In the first game of the just-concluded Samsung Cup finals, the former chess hegemon burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and Li Canghao defended the defense line and refused to admit that the world chess world has officially changed ...... dynasty."
"Never underestimate the heart of a champion......"
In this year's World Professional Go Championship, there was still a day off between the first game and the second game.
On the afternoon of the rest day, after doing another homework with Lao Shi, Li Xiangping, who was bored, began to look through the media reports on the first game.
He originally wanted to see the domestic media reports first, but the Internet in these years could not be compared with later generations, so he could only see how the South Koreans reacted with the help of a group of reporters.
"Please, please, you can help me find it."
Reporter Zhang Da said strangely: "Xiangping, what are you looking for?" ”
"It's that ......" Li Xiangping gestured: "What kind of hot war melts South Korea's harsh winter ice and snow or something, I remember that Koreans don't like to use this rhetoric the most when reporting Go games, I have the impression that as long as it is a big winter game in South Korea, then this sentence must be indispensable, back then Teacher Nie fought Lao Cao was like this, Teacher Ma fought Da Li is still like this, is it not there to me." ”
Hearing Li Xiangping say this, everyone around was relieved, in fact, it is not easy to be a full-time Go reporter, it is even more of an emotional problem for chess players, everyone now sees that since Li Xiangping can say this, it seems that he has not been affected by the loss in the first game.
Lao Xie of the "sports world" smiled and said: "Okay, I'll help you find it now, come and come, everyone will come to help Xiangping find it." ”
It's a pity that this time it's a bit strange, everyone flipped through it with the help of a translator, but they really didn't find this rhetoric.
Li Xiangping exaggerated and posed incredulous: "This is strange, is it possible that the Korean media has changed sex, and Koreans can still change sex?" ”
Seeing Li Xiangping's current state, the team leader Hua who led the team answered with a smile:
"I think it's normal not to have this rhetoric this time, Xiangping, do you think this first game can be called a "hot war"? ”
"Haha, that's right, Mr. Hua's words are reasonable, I'm ashamed, this first game is like this, it doesn't seem to be qualified to be called a hot war."
"Oh?" Hearing Li Xiangping say this, the reporters present were all excited, because since the end of the first game of chess, everyone has not had a chance to let Li Xiangping "say a few words" by himself, so at this time, everyone just wants to hear Li Xiangping's own views on the first game.
"That Xiangping, what do you think of this first game ......of chess?"
"There's nothing to say, this game is really played well, so there's nothing to say when you lose."
"Oh, Xiangping, you yourself think this plate is a good game for Da Li."
"Yes." Li Xiangping replied with certainty, he said in his heart that this is not nonsense, Da Li's few moves, even Lao Shi and I didn't find a way to crack it after the game, this is already close to the "dog move" chess. If the opponent can play such a move, then the loss of the first game is really not unjust.
Thinking of this, Li Xiangping added casually: "That's right, this plate is indeed a good one, very good!" I even think that if Da Li can always play such chess in the future, then I may not be his opponent now. ”
"Oh?"
After hearing Li Xiangping say this, the reporters present were slightly surprised, although everyone was familiar with Li Xiangping, and knew that the child in front of him was not an ordinary child, and now he was already an old fritter.
However, it is the first time that I have heard the argument that I may be "inferior to others" as I have heard today.
"Hehe, yes, yes, Da Li played a few moves yesterday that were good, not to mention the beautiful chess, it was not even his previous style at all, that Xiangping, do you think Da Li is really improving now, or just break out so occasionally?"
"I'm sure the design has improved, but to what extent, I'll be honest with you,"
Li Xiangping stared at reporter Zhang Da who asked a question and said:
"This is actually what I want to know the most now, or what I just said, if the level he showed yesterday is the norm, then I must be more than lucky this time...... No, no, no, it's not a matter of more than one bad luck, then I'm definitely not an opponent, if he just played at a super level yesterday, and he broke out occasionally, then this final will still be successful. So let's not say anything, let's wait until tomorrow to see what the situation is. ”
"Yes, it's up to tomorrow if you don't say anything,"
Hearing Li Xiangping say this, all the reporters echoed and cheered for Li Xiangping:
"If you want me to say, Da Li's chess yesterday is not his previous style at all, so it must be an occasional outbreak, Xiangping will play well tomorrow, and he will definitely beat him back to his original form at once."
"Huh."
After chatting with reporters for a while, Li Xiangping took the time to browse the major domestic websites, and he found that the reaction of the domestic media and chess fans to his first game of chess was relatively calm, not only calm, but also from the feedback of the major Go forums, the vast majority of chess fans still expressed a considerable degree of optimism that they could finally win the championship.
“..... I don't remember that this is the mastery boss and Da Li playing chess, although I don't remember the number of times, but I found a rule, that is, when the master boss and Da Li fight chess, it almost every time you have to lose a few games, but although you have to lose a few games every time, but the final winner must be him, the only exception only happened more than a month ago in the "LG Cup" semi-finals, so this time it's a regular operation, I believe in the mastery boss, I believe that he will not give up the opportunity to win the Golden Slam this time, I also believe that he will definitely not disappoint everyone......."
After seeing a message from a chess fan like this, Li Xiangping smiled, and after laughing, he also added a little pressure, and at the same time looked forward to the next game coming soon.
There was no word all night, and the second game of the final was coming soon. Before entering the arena, Li Xiangping and his plug-in had nothing to say:
"Hehe, Brother Ding'an, I'm suddenly a little out of mind now, what you said we prepared this time, can it play a role?"
"Haha, how do you know about this Ding'an, but based on Ding'an's experience, this person probably has a more than seventy percent chance of being hit."
"What if he doesn't get hit?"
"If he doesn't get it..... By the way, Xiangping Xiaoyou, didn't we say it yesterday, this method is used as a touchstone, if he can really not be hit, it proves that his chess strength has surpassed ours, and we have to work harder in the future. ”
"Haha, that's right."
After saying this, the door of the game room was in front of him, so Li Xiangping put away all kinds of distractions, and he was ready to start the second game with Da Li without distraction.
This game was Li Xiangping's turn to black.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, when the referee announced the start of the game, Li Xiangping, who had been prepared, quickly dropped the first hand of the game.
What did he and Lao Shi prepare?
The competition has officially begun.
