Chapter 248: Help everyone open a door
At 4:25 p.m., when the news that Da Li had conceded defeat was confirmed, the door of the game room was opened, and many reporters flocked in, and everyone grabbed the advantageous terrain to record the moment of the transfer of authority in the world chess world and the change of dynasty.
Yes, at this moment, almost everyone thinks so.
Even Koreans, who have always been hard-mouthed and have always been self-respecting to the point of perversion, seem to have nothing to say this time.
This is Li Xiangping's fourth world championship, note that he has won the fourth world championship when he is not yet 16 years old!
This is the third time that Lee has defeated Lee Cang-ho in the World Series final.
By now, the chess record of the two has now become Li Xiangping 3-0, and Da Li has not won once.
Especially this time, when Li Xiangping fell behind 0-2, the final winner turned out to be him.
This is the third world championship won by Li Xiangping in the entire 2002 season. In all four individual tournaments of the year, he won three championships and one runner-up, and if you add to this the "Nongshim Cup" six consecutive victories, his international record this year is far behind other players.
With such an amazing performance and such a sparkling palmares, isn't this the new king? Isn't this a change of dynasty?
Because of this, although most of the mixed Go world is more gentle and reserved, and not as arrogant and passionate as other competitive sports, at this moment, no one cares so much, and reporters push and shove in the game room, trying to record what they consider to be a "historic moment".
Reporter Zhang Da was one of the reporters who rushed in earlier, and he also grabbed a more advantageous position with his keen skills-----
Well, he ran right in front of the table, which looked very good at an angle and at the right distance, just enough to get a shot of both of the game room figures.
However, just as reporter Zhang Da was about to press the shutter, he was suddenly a little dissatisfied, and what he was dissatisfied with was Li Xiangping's posture.
To say that for Da Li's current posture, reporter Zhang Da is still very satisfied. Now Da Li is blushing and hanging his head, not only his head is slightly drooping, but even his body is slightly bowed, just sitting motionless in place.
It's a pity that he lowered his head and couldn't see his facial expression clearly, if he looked serious now, and there was a little confusion in his eyes, the big reporter thought it would be too perfect, this is definitely a perfect image of a loser.
It's just Li Xiangping, what the hell is this? The way he is sitting now.... Why does it look similar to Da Li?
There is no doubt that this will certainly not satisfy reporter Zhang Da.
"Xiangping, Xiangping, sit up straighter, yes, hold your chest up, it's like.... Like a victor accepting the surrender of his opponent......"
This is the perfect photo in the mind of reporter Zhang Da, Da Li bowed slightly and handed over the surrender to Li Xiangping?
"The handover of authority", reporter Zhang Da even thought of the headline.
It's just a pity that Li Xiangping didn't seem to hear his words, which led to reporter Zhang Da still not being able to take what he thought was the most perfect photo in the end.
Of course, Li Xiangping didn't hear what reporter Zhang Da said, but he still has a little unreal feeling about everything that happened today.
That's right, Li Xiangping is really a little unreal, which is why he will react now.
It should be said that Li Xiangping's reaction is of course normal.
Although in the eyes of others, he is already holding 4 championships, but everyone understands that the personal significance of this championship to Li Xiangping must be different from the previous 3, completely different!
The previous 3 champions all belong to Lao Shi.
But this championship, although it can't be said that it belongs to him 100%, but he also has a share.
Not only does he have a share, but even his personal proportion, this time he will surpass Lao Shi.
Especially in this last game, tsk, this wonderful feeling of holding a cup in your own hands-----
So just thinking about it, you can understand why he feels sluggish now.
"It used to feel really good to hold the cup in my own hands, but now I just don't know when I will be able to lift a trophy that belongs 100% to myself......"
The hustle and bustle of the outside world continues, but Li Xiangping seems to be still immersed in his own world. While the reporters were still taking pictures, he even recalled the process of this final again.
“.... Well, there is still a certain element of luck in winning the championship this time, and the biggest luck is actually in the 3rd game, Da Li just chose a "big avalanche", which happened to be on top of the "dog move", otherwise ......"
That's right, this is indeed Li Xiangping's current thoughts, and the turning point of this series is undoubtedly the third game. You must know that before that game of chess, Li Xiangping didn't think of deliberately using a dog move, but it was so coincidental that Da Li just ran into it.
Li Xiangping now thinks back that if there had not been that dog trick and other situations at that time, then with his state at that time, the probability of playing 0 to 3 might be greater than fifty percent.
It's a kind of luck, of course.
It is precisely because of this luck that by the time Lao Shi helped him win the 4th game, the whole situation had been completely reversed.
After all, Da Li was just a person, and he didn't know that he was facing two different chess players. Especially among them, in fact, there is another point that is also very important, that is, his own chess path is actually very different from Lao Shi.
Lao Shi belongs to the kind of rigorous and dense type, and himself, it may be as Lao Shi said, and Huang Yuetian and Fan Xiping are the same way, and their skills are definitely not as good as him and Da Li, but their thinking is a little more flexible, and the chess they play may be a little more flexible.
And such a kind of agility may stimulate a strong explosive power at some point, such as in this last set of tiebreakers, poor Da Li was actually blown up by his own explosive power.
"Well, although there is still a bit of luck this time, isn't there such a saying, that luck is also part of strength, especially in the field of competition, then this sentence is even more reasonable. Don't think about it in advance in the future, and then put it in a very vulgar saying: At this time, let's enjoy the feeling of victory first......"
It's a pity that when Li Xiangping fully woke up, it seemed to be a little late, because at this time, most of the reporters had already finished taking pictures, so only the photos of him and Da Li sitting opposite each other were left.
The staff came in and asked the two players to leave the game room and go to the lobby to participate in the closing ceremony of this year's "LG Cup".
When he came to the hall, Li Xiangping had completely returned to normal, not only him, but it seemed that Da Li had also completely returned to normal.
Li Xiangping once again accepted everyone's congratulations.
When the organizers make arrangements together, the next step is naturally the award ceremony.
There was nothing new about the award ceremony, the runner-up posed with an enlarged check, and the champion had a championship trophy in addition to the check.
According to the usual practice, of course, let the runner-up speak first, but everyone knows people like Da Li, when the host handed the microphone to his mouth, he snorted for a long time and didn't say a complete sentence.
In the end, it may have been forced by the host to have no choice, and Da Li finally said a more complete sentence:
"Although it is a pity to lose the game, but to be honest, I am not very depressed now, and I will not feel angry, I am not afraid to be honest with you, and I have a fresh feeling about Go now......"
"Freshness?"
"That's right, I did have a sense of freshness again, the same freshness as when I first learned chess......
When Da Li said this, he set his eyes on Li Xiangping, and when he saw Da Li looking at him, Li Xiangping also hurriedly smirked-----
Of course, Li Xiangping can only smirk, Da Li speaks Korean, and he can't understand a word:
"All this is still thanks to the opponent, I have said a long time ago, he plays a new kind of Go, a kind of Go beyond my imagination, he plays Go, it seems to open a new door for me, let me have an urge to enter the door to find out......."
“..... I don't know what else I can see, and the opponent is so strong, and his talent is so great, I may not be able to beat him in my life, but I still want to say that as long as this novelty does not disappear, then I will continue to explore, and I hope that in the near future, there will be a chance to ask him for advice, thank you. ”
Li Xiangping had been smirking, but after listening to the translator's relay, his smile was a little more restrained.
As a person who has seen the AI of Go in later generations, he certainly understands this "freshness" of Da Li.
In any case, Da Li is also the one who once stood at the top of human Go. And Go is so difficult, how difficult is it? It's so difficult that, in the words of Master Lao Cao, he only increased his chess level in 10 years after winning his first world championship in '89.
And the reason why he can rise this half of his eyes is precisely because there is a Li Canghao who is more powerful than him.
Therefore, Li Xiangping believes that if he can understand what Lao Cao said many years ago, then it is naturally easy to understand what Da Li is saying now.
“...... It's a pity that my current situation seems to be different from you, you opened a door for Lao Cao, that's because you are indeed stronger than Lao Cao, but what about me, it's right that I opened a door for you, but with my current skills...... Of course, with Lao Shi's words, it's still confused, but I'm still thinking about winning a championship that is completely my own......"
It is precisely because of such cranky thinking that when it came to the "champion speech", Li Xiangping was a little absent-minded.
"Let's do it together."
There is no doubt that when Li Xiangping said this, most of the others were inexplicable, and no one knew what he meant.
However, Li Xiangping thinks that it doesn't matter, as long as he can understand this.
In February 2003, less than a week before the Spring Festival, Li Xiangping returned to China with the championship trophy.
