Before the final of the "LC Cup", there is another important event in the international arena, that is, the third stage of this "Nongshim Cup".

To say that this "Nongshim Cup" is also quite interesting, the first stage is Li Xiangping's performance alone, and he won six consecutive victories directly to the second stage.

In the second stage, it seemed to become a stage for Liu Chonghe alone, he defeated 5 Chinese and Japanese chess players, including Li Xiangping, and the Japanese team did not even win a single game in this tournament, and was directly out of the second stage.

In the last game of the second stage, Liu Chonghe was defeated by the Chinese chess player Chang Hao, so that after the third stage, it was actually Li Canghao one-on-three, and he fought against Chang Hao, Luo Xihe, and Ma Xiaofei alone.

The third stage of the "Nongshim Cup" was just more than a week before the "LG Cup" final, and the venue of the game was in Shencheng, so when it was time for the game, Li Xiangping, who was very idle, also went to Shencheng with the big army to watch the game.

Lao Hua is very optimistic about this competition, although in an interview with the outside media, he is still saying "Li Canghao is still very strong", "I don't think it's necessarily now", "can't be too optimistic now, can't be too optimistic yet", but in private, Team Leader Hua seems to be full of confidence:

"Hehe, the Three Kingdoms Ring Tournament has been won by the Korean team all the championships so far, since this time it is such a big advantage, then it should be the turn of the Chinese team to win it once, right? Otherwise, I'm too sorry for our six consecutive wins before Xiangping, don't you say Xiangping? ”

Li Xiangping smiled when he heard it, of course he could only smile at this time. While laughing, Li Xiangping was actually a little surprised in his heart, he said in his heart that he couldn't, right? It stands to reason that Lao Hua is also an old Jianghu, so with that cautious temperament, how can he be so optimistic at this time?

However, Li Xiangping felt normal when he thought about it, although Li Canghao was still the same Li Canghao, and even Li Xiangping personally believed that because of the existence of himself and Lao Shi, it is not necessary that the current Da Li may be stronger than in his previous life, but this is just his own opinion, and it is not the case at all in the eyes of others.

Li Canghao in this period of his previous life, that was basically the most terrifying time of his dominance, not to mention that he had been deified, but most chess players met him in the game, and they were basically timid before they fought.

However, the current Da Li is no longer the same, he lost to Lao Shi twice, even if he has been invited to the altar, then in the eyes of Team Leader Hua and others, he is not so terrifying now, at least not as terrifying as in his previous life. On the other hand, on the Chinese team's side, Ma Xiaofei has just won his third world championship, and Li Canghao can't win against Li Xiangping, but Li Xiangping can't take advantage of Chang Hao and Luo Xihe.

Seeing that Li Xiangping didn't squeak, Team Leader Hua was still energetic, and he continued to ask:

"What do you think, Xiangping?"

Li Xiangping had no choice but to answer: "I think, now it mainly depends on Brother Chang's plate, this plate is the most important thing, if Brother Chang can win it, then it will naturally be all over, and if Brother Chang doesn't hold on, then I really don't dare to say what the ending will be in the end." ”

It must be pointed out that this is indeed Li Xiangping's true words, and he really thinks so in his heart. Countless facts have proven that in the format of the ring, the "momentum" thing is very important, and in many cases, the role of this thing even exceeds the advantage of numbers.

Of course, there are many people in the Go world who understand, so although Li Xiangping's words are not very good, after he said this, he immediately got the approval of many people.

For example, Ma Xiaofei, as expected, he should be the coach of the Chinese team this time, playing in the last game, and this time he also went to Shencheng with the large army, and when he heard Li Xiangping's words, he immediately nodded yes:

"Yes, yes, Xiangping's words make sense, it makes sense, you must know that this game is rapid chess, and it is a game of continuous play a day, so in this kind of game, once a person is allowed to get up, then the later game is really not good."

After a pause, Ma Xiaofei even turned his head to Chang Hao and smiled:

"Xiao Chang, did you hear it, people Xiangping said, whether you can win the championship in this competition, now the key is up to you."

The honest boy Chang Hao showed a simple smile, but although he laughed very silly, the hesitation behind the smile was clear.

In normal history, although Chang Hao at this time did not have a world champion, he maintained the first place in China in terms of rating all year round, and reached at least one world championship final every year, so in this period, he was the de facto first person in Chinese Go.

Now it's okay, not to mention the sudden rise of Li Xiangping of the "post-80s", now even the "post-60s" Ma Xiaofei has sprouts and added a world champion to himself again, not to mention how Chang Haoqing can be embarrassed, at least it also makes him hold back his strength and want to find a chance to do a big job.

And the upcoming "Nongshim Cup", of course, this is a good opportunity to prove himself, so it's no wonder that Chang Jiuduan is full of ambition.

Chang Jiuduan's complacency was naturally seen by everyone, but at this time, no one would say it. Team Leader Hua was very satisfied with this, and he also waved his hand with great ambition:

"Good! Now let's go. ”

After the group arrived in Shencheng, because this was the final stage of the championship after all, and the Chinese team looked quite favorable, there were still a lot of domestic media interviews on the spot.

Many reporters were a little surprised when they saw Li Xiangping, after all, there was nothing to do with him at this stage of this game, and they didn't understand why he came over this time.

For example, Zhang Da, a reporter from the "Go World", asked as soon as he saw Li Xiangping:

"Hey, Xiangping, why are you here? Don't you have to go to class now.... By the way, this competition is a team competition, is Xiangping confident in winning the championship in the end? That's why I came here to attend the final closing ceremony. ”

When he heard the previous sentence, Li Xiangping actually had a black line on his face, and he said in his heart that his buddy just wanted to skip class, so he found an excuse to run to Shencheng. But when he heard the latter sentence, Li Xiangping immediately smiled, and said in his heart that this reporter Zhang Da is still very good, look, the excuse he found for himself is perfect.

"Hahaha, have faith! Of course I'm full of them on Mr. Ma and Brother Chang. Confidence ....."

I don't know when it started, in the current Chinese Go world, as long as Li Xiangping is present, he will unknowingly become the center of the whole game. Seeing that almost all the reporters were circling around Li Xiangping, and all the topics were handed to Li Xiangping, the team leader Hua on the side smiled and sighed:

"Tsk, this Li Xiangping, it's really amazing now, Ma Xiao, why are you so popular."

Ma Xiaofei, Chang Hao, Luo Xihe and others also happily watched Li Xiangping surrounded by reporters, they are actually happy to see this, playing Go is not comparable to other industries, especially people in the entertainment industry, for a "C position" and the like, it is something that talents in the entertainment industry can do, and there is basically no such consciousness when playing Go.

Seeing Li Xiangping's current appearance, Ma Xiaofei even joked: "It's a pity that Lao Nie didn't come this time, if Lao Nie is there, it may be able to help him share a little attention, but I think even if it is Lao Nie, it may become more and more difficult to defeat Li Xiangping in the future." ”

"Hehe," Team Leader Hua also smiled after hearing Ma Xiao's words:

"That's right, but there is a premise for this, and the premise is that Xiangping must always win like this."

When Li Xiangping was surrounded by reporters, in addition to this "Nongshim Cup", of course, he would inevitably be asked about the final of the "LG Cup" soon after.

And Li Xiangping's answer, of course, is very modest and polite. Of course, this is very normal, after all, in the next five chess, Li Xiangping himself has to play 4 games, so no matter how arrogant he is, he doesn't dare to say anything big at this time.

And the reporters are of course not satisfied with his answer, this situation is naturally more normal, think about it so far, strictly speaking, Li Xiangping and Li Canghao have met 3 times in the World Series, and 3 times Li Xiangping won the final victory, so in this context, Li Xiangping's "modest" words will seem a bit hypocritical.

"Alas, the current social atmosphere seems to be really bad, everyone sees that even Li Xiangping has become an old fritter now."

Of course, this was not said in public, but by a group of reporters whispering when they were communicating in private.

The other reporters thought so, and nodded frequently after hearing it.

may be precisely because of this reason, but everyone let Li Xiangping go. After all, for reporters, in fact, not many reporters like to interview old fritters, this is the case in other industries, and of course the same is true in the Go world.

"The South Korean delegation seems to have arrived on their flight."

This sentence rescued Li Xiangping, and the reporters dispersed in a hurry, ready to interview Li Canghao and them.

Li Xiangping doesn't know what happened later, after all, after he arrived in Shencheng, the match between Chang Hao and Li Canghao would be held on the second day, even if Li Xiangping attracted attention again, it was not the protagonist this time.

It's just a pity that Li Xiangping doesn't want to be the protagonist, but soon after the start of the second day of the game, Li Xiangping seems to be the protagonist again-----

The main character in the viewing room.

There is no other reason, Li Canghao made the "dog move" he used not long ago in the game, that is, the change of "pressing six ways in a row" after the vulgar stab.

Li Xiangping faintly felt bad, and he felt that Chang Hao was probably going to lose this game of chess.
