Chapter 171: His Strongest Place
It was late at night, and the people who were watching the game had long since dispersed. Go lovers are mostly rational, and although they are very excited after Li Xiaoqiang has won 5 consecutive victories, there is still one game soon. Everyone simply released their emotions and then dispersed. Li Xiaoqiang also went back to rest.
Li Xiaoqiang couldn't sleep a little, which was the consequence of "overusing his brain" after the fierce Go game. The brain is in a state of high euphoria for several hours, and it is not so simple to calm down quickly.
It's better to win, but if you lose...... It's also highly exciting, mixed with the pain of losing, and it's really uncomfortable.
As soon as the game ended, Hideyuki Fujisawa pulled Shuizo Ohira to buy drunk. Don't look at Fujisawa Hideyuki seems to be very beautiful in Japan, there are really not many "little brothers", at least not as many as Otake. And Ohei Shuzo is a real little brother of his. Hiroshi Yamashiro and Yamada will naturally walk together, and in a foreign land, people will unite a little consciously or unconsciously.
China in the 80s didn't have much of a glamour. Fortunately, this is Harbin, and the others dare not say, if you want to drink some wine, there is no problem at all. A few people drank and drank, and naturally talked about Li Xiaoqiang again.
Hideyuki Fujisawa burped:
"This kid seems to be playing chess again, but I didn't expect that Daping would lose in such a state. Yamashiro, you should have the bottom now, right? ”
"Hey!"
"I was really impressed by his two-way tip, it was a good move! I have to admit that I really didn't think of that move at the time. I didn't realize that he could still take the lead at that time. Ha Luha, from this point of view, I am indeed inferior to him in this respect, and losing to him is not completely unacceptable. ”
Mr. Ohira is a battle-hardened veteran. It's not that a professional chess player can't say anything after losing, drinking alcohol only serves as a sleeping pill, and if he doesn't dare to say it after losing, it's a sign of "not being professional enough". Mr. Ohira is clearly professional. It was as if he was talking about his experience. In fact, he is reminding his teammates in another way.
His and Fujisawa Hideyuki's approach is obviously better than Kato's "5 plus 1" approach, and Hiroshi Yamashiro is also a professional master, so he must have his own ideas and ideas. The two of them expressed their opinions, and whether it would help Hiroshi Yamashiro or not was his own business.
Of course, Hiroshi Yamashiro knew all this, and he raised his glass to toast to the two old-timers:
"Xie Lu Xie two seniors reminded, hehe, if everyone had listened to Mr. Xiuxing's words, then Mr. Kobayashi Satoru may have knocked this mysterious boy out of the ring......"
Yamada Tsumiko drank while pondering Hiroshi Yamashiro's words. There was no way, he had to ponder.
The same is a professional game. Western pros speak much more bluntly. NBA players, for example, often have a strong personality in their statements before major games. Sometimes he is tense,-for-tat, and dares to say anything, although people are worried that he will make a fool of himself after the game. However, it must be admitted that their statements can often make people's adrenaline hormones rise and make people's blood boil. The competition also adds a lot of fun because of this.
We Oriental people are different, and we pay attention to a subtle thing in what we say. Go players are even more chattering when they speak, and they don't mix in that circle. Most people really don't understand what he means.
Hiroshi Yamashiro's words are actually a statement, not only a statement, but his words also reveal a strong self-confidence.
"It would be nice if everyone listened to Mr. Hideyuki earlier" refers to the sentence that Fujisawa Hideyuki said that Li Xiaoqiang has a "hands-on" level.
Hiroshi Yamashiro's meaning is obvious: No matter what others think, anyway, I believe the words of you, an old god. You can rest assured. I've long had my mentality right, and I'm sure I won't take the enemy lightly.
The first sentence is easy to understand, and the latter sentence is even more informative. Li Xiaoqiang has won 5 people in a row, and he doesn't say anything else. Why did you pull Kobayashi Jue out alone? If you don't understand the characteristics of the Japanese team in the arrangement of troops, ordinary people are really confused.
At the time of the 3rd Ring Tournament, the Japanese still thought that their Go game was much better than that of China. Although the Chinese team has won two consecutive times. That's because there is a Nie whirlwind in China. Strong is also stronger than Nie Whirlwind alone. As for the others...... Although Jiang Zhujiu also had 5 consecutive victories in the 1st session, he was immediately beaten back to his original form in the 2nd session.
In order to deal with Nie Whirlwind, okay, you are amazing, we used to have a "big triple crown", what about this time? We'll send two "big three crowns" against you. Kato is a reigning "celebrity", and Takemiya is reigning "Ben Yin Fang", which is specially here to deal with you Nie Whirlwind.
As for the other Chinese players? In their opinion, Ma Xiaofei is at most "Standard Nine". This is not a random guess, in real history, Ma Xiaofei lost to Satoshi Kataoka in the 2nd Ring Tournament, and after Li Xiaoqiang was reborn, Ma Xiaofei lost to Hiroshi Yamashiro. These two are Japan's "strong nine", and if they can't win the "strong nine", then they are naturally the "standard nine".
In the eyes of the Japanese, the No. 2 person in Chinese Go is only "Biaojiu", and the others are not a problem. As for Li Xiaoqiang...... That's when the Chinese let children come out and see the world.
Based on this basic analysis of strength, the Japanese are still very characteristic in arranging troops. I can say that I have put a lot of thought into it. In order to prevent "accidents" like Jiang Zhujiu, the Japanese believe that it is not that the level of Japanese chess players is not good, but that the competition method of the ring match is too exciting. Young Japanese chess players tend to get nervous and don't play at their true level. So in the 3rd session, I consciously sent a lot of veterans out of the horse.
Among the 5 people won by Li Xiaoqiang, except for Kobayashi Jue, the other 4 are all veterans. Of course, the veteran is not a chaotic faction, in addition to his own strength, the current competitive state is also a very important assessment factor. Except for Ishii Kuni, the nine dan is for balance. The other three veterans had very good results in '87.
Compared with the four veterans, Hiroshi Yamashiro and Satoru Kobayashi are the Mesozoic generation of Japanese Go. Judging from later generations, Kobayashi Jue's achievements are a little higher. However, at that time, Hiroshi Yamashiro's status was much higher. Hiroshi Yamashiro's entire career is indeed a little too sad. But he also has something to be proud of, and that is that he has a nickname!
In the professional world of Go, there is no difference between a player with a nickname and without a nickname. Even if it was Luo Shen Pig, everyone just called him a little pig at first, and after he became the champion of the world, he was upgraded to a "god pig".
In later generations, there were so many young world champions in Chinese Go. Of course, the future achievements are not yet predictable,
However, chess fans are definitely more interested in young players with nicknames, and they are generally considered to have more promising prospects. Chen Yaoye has a nickname, and Park Wenrao does not have a nickname. Everyone is more optimistic about Xiao Chen. Jiang Weijie does not have a nickname, and he has a nickname when he is also a "one-stop average game". Shi Yue looks like he has a bright future. Fan Tingyu in "Two Rice and One Rice" had a nickname at the earliest, and immediately won the world champion after having a nickname. However, looking at this trend, Xiao Mi will soon have a nickname.
It doesn't matter if you don't know the details of the Go world, let's see if there is a nickname first. Players with nicknames certainly deserve special attention.
Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro has a nickname, and his nickname sounds very good:
"Osmotic flow!"
This nickname is literally easy to understand. Only water can "permeate", giving a sense of pervasiveness. This is the characteristic of his chess style. When used in Go, it means that his official is very good.
In the minds of the Japanese, Hiroshi Yamashiro's status at that time was higher than that of Kobayashi Satoru. Hiroshi Yamashiro himself actually thinks so. So he will pull Kobayashi Satoru out for comparison.
"Mr. Satoru Kobayashi may have knocked this mysterious boy out of the ring"
Does the connection between the words before and after express his strong self-confidence?
As long as you pay attention to it and correct your mentality, Li Xiaoqiang is not Xiao Lin Jue's opponent at all, let alone me......
Such words can only be understood by Orientals. Not to mention NBA players, even Western politicians, if they are not careful, they will be dizzy.
"What is Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro going to do with that Chinese boy?"
Yamada is a senior industry insider, and of course he understands Hiroshi Yamashiro's words. He saw Hiroshi Yamashiro looking full of confidence, and out of the instinct of a reporter, of course he wanted to continue digging up a little fierce material.
Fujisawa Hideyuki and Osamu Ohira, the two old men, also looked at Hiroshi Yamashiro with great interest.
"I'm ready to take on the boy where he's strongest. Mr. Hideyuki, do you think there is a problem with my idea like this? ”
Hiroshi Yamashiro suddenly swept away his usual gentleness, and his eyes became bright and sharp. Keep an eye on Hideyuki Fujisawa.
Fujisawa Hideyuki pondered for a moment and glanced at Shuzo Ohira. He suddenly smiled with relief:
"It seems that you are really attentive, and I am relieved that you can think like this. Come, Yamashiro-kun, I toast you......"
So the Go world is really not so easy to mix. There are so many people who talk to God. Even if it's a veteran like Yamada Tsumiko. He was also stunned by the words of the two.
"What's the strongest thing about that mysterious boy?"
Yamada pondered again. Li Xiaoqiang's weakness is obvious, that is, his lack of skill. This Yamada sees it clearly. But where is he the strongest? On the surface, it was, of course, his whimsy.
However, Yamada does not think that Hiroshi Yamashiro will compete with Li Xiaoqiang in this regard. Whimsy itself is something that can be encountered but not sought, and it is unreliable to compete. Besides, Yamashiro himself is not a "talented" type of chess player, otherwise he would not have won a championship. He is also a "kung fu" chess player.
"What the hell is it?"
Of course, Yamada is embarrassed to ask any more questions, but he is looking forward to the game the day after tomorrow.
A lot of people are looking forward to it!
In the ring, Li Xiaoqiang continued to walk. (To be continued......)
