Chapter 223 The biggest attraction
When Li Xiaoqiang and Zhang Zhidong left Fang's house, their expressions were different. Seeing that his lifelong events are expected to be solved, reporter Zhang Da is naturally dancing with his eyebrows and joy:
"Hahaha, I said Xiaoqiang, I said what's wrong with you, our argument is obviously whether you won or not, and I admit that you won. Well...... People are old and powerful. As long as Fang Lao makes a move, what problems can't be solved? Ha Lu Ha, Ha Lu Ha"
Li Xiaoqiang looked at Zhang Zhidong with a villainous look, and could only roll his eyes helplessly. I wanted to sarcastically say two words to him, but I really couldn't say it. According to Fang Lao's "theory", reporter Zhang Da is obviously the kind of person who lacks romantic genes. From this point of view, he and he should be regarded as "sympathy". If you make fun of him yourself, there is always a suspicion of laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps.
"Is romanticism really not for Go?"
In order to argue that he must also have a little bit of romantic genes, Li Xiaoqiang had to desperately make Go and romanticism a little related in his heart. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally let Li Xiaoqiang find out a little crooked. For example, the "calculation" in Go is definitely realism, and it has nothing to do with romanticism. But what about "imagination" in Go? It's always possible to have something to do with romanticism.
Li Xiaoqiang further thought that some modern Go masters, such as "Gorgeous Xiuxing" and "Cosmic Liuwu Palace", of course, have realism in the essence of Go, but in terms of external performance, they always give people a sense of beauty. Isn't this kind of beauty also a kind of romanticism?
It seems that Fang Lao is not entirely right, realism has developed to a relatively advanced stage, and its expression seems to be a kind of romanticism. It's hard to say in other fields, but at least in Go, that's really how it looks. Hahaha, I'll just say, how can someone like me Li Xiaoqiang not even have a little romantic gene. That's impossible. It's not scientific......"
After Li Xiaoqiang figured out this problem, not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but he became even more sad:
"If that's the case, then when will my Li Xiaoqiang's romance be known to the family......
In the next few days, Li Xiaoqiang continued to stay in Shencheng. While completing his first "self-war commentary", he waited for the arrival of the Japanese delegation.
The article "Commentary on Self-Fighting" was completed smoothly. Of course, this is not Li Xiaoqiang's ability, but the "Go" monthly magazine is very experienced. The readers of such magazines are, of course, ordinary Go enthusiasts. In Shencheng, there is a large group of experienced grassroots coaches. Whether it's teaching or writing for a magazine. They all serve the same people. They know the best about what ordinary chess fans want to know. In fact, this was also a feature and advantage of the "Go" monthly magazine that year.
The work of "copywriting" is very easy, and since most of the work is done by others, Li Xiaoqiang is of course relaxed. His preparation seems to be relatively easy. Because Li Xiaoqiang will face his "old opponent" next. In 5th and 6th place in Japan, it will be Osamu Ohira Sankudan and Yamashiro Hiroshi Kudan.
It's the same ring match, it's the same game in China, it's the same order of appearance. However, this year is very different from last year.
"Xiaoqiang. Come on, this time strive to avenge last year's one-shot revenge, and then go straight to Huanglong. Haluha, we're waiting to see how you play against the best Japanese players......"
In these days. Li Xiaoqiang heard this is the kind of thing he heard the most. That's the big difference. Last year, Li Xiaoqiang would never have heard such words. Unconsciously, when everyone faced Li Xiaoqiang, their mentality had changed a lot.
Last year, Li Xiaoqiang won his first game in the ring. It can be said that it is a surprise to most people. The first set is a "surprise", so winning the second set can be said to be a "surprise". Everyone was "surprised" all the way to see Li Xiaoqiang win 5 games in a row. It must be admitted that when Li Xiaoqiang won 5 consecutive victories. "Surprise" is no longer enough to describe everyone's mood. For everyone, Li Xiaoqiang's 5 consecutive wins can only be described as a "miracle".
People's wishes are not so easily satisfied. When Li Xiaoqiang once again stood at the threshold of "5 consecutive wins". It is normal for everyone to hope that Li Xiaoqiang will create a bigger "miracle". What's more, through the analysis of some "experts", everyone found that it is not impossible for Li Xiaoqiang to "go straight to the Yellow Dragon".
For the games that everyone pays more attention to, there is always a prediction article before the game. In all the prediction articles, it is natural that the reporter Zhang Da shouted "smashing the Yellow Dragon" to the sky. Zhang Zhidong is currently in the spring breeze when he is proud, seeing that he is about to "make his wish come true", he is naturally in a good mood, and he completely ignores that he has just been deflated at Li Xiaoqiang's hands. The "advocacy" of Li Xiaoqiang is still unsparing. After completing the work of "self-war commentary," Zhang Zhidong once again published his prediction article in the Shencheng Evening News.
"The 5th and 6th matches of the 4th China-Japan Go Tournament will be held in Shencheng. At this time in the game, I personally believe that the final suspense of this ring match has disappeared. At present, the image of the Chinese team is very good, and I don't think the Japanese team still has a chance to turn around. It will be a sure thing for the Chinese team to win the most difficult victory. Yes, that's what I thought. I'm sure a lot of people think the same way I do. I don't want to be a hypocrite, I'll tell you the truth, don't let me analyze any more reasons, it makes no sense to analyze such reasons......"
"In my opinion, the final suspense of this tournament has disappeared, and it is only a matter of time before the Chinese team wins. Therefore, the focus of this tournament has shifted. The biggest thing to watch now is: which Chinese chess player will end this competition? We know that in the first three ring matches, it was the coach Nie Whirlwind who ended the game the most. The reporter is optimistic that there should be no need for Coach Nie to play in person in this competition. I don't think so. So, who will be the Chinese player who finishes the game? When writing this article, an irrepressible thought appeared in the reporter's mind, and I can tell you that the reporter really can't help it, and he must say this idea, that is: Will the chess player who end this ring match be our pioneer Li Xiaoqiang? ”
"To be honest, even I was shocked when I came up with this idea. I feel like I'm crazy with my thoughts. However, after careful analysis, the reporter believes that this is not completely impossible. Let's talk about my reasoning. ”
"Any prediction needs to be based on something. The same is true for Go matches. For a game of Go, there are many factors that determine the outcome of the game. One of the most important factors is, of course, the player's level of Go. Without this strength, without this foundation, there is simply no way to talk about victory. Now the question arises, our pioneer Li Xiaoqiang, does he have this strength? Here, the reporter can tell everyone very clearly that he has it! ”
"Everyone has always been very surprised by Li Xiaoqiang's growth speed. Although no one knows for sure, his progress is as fast as hell. But his upbringing is a fact. An undeniable fact. This can be seen in his game. Last year, when he won five in a row, it is not entirely due to luck, but in many of his games, he relied on the mistakes of his opponents to win the game. This is also true. But this year is different! If we analyze his games carefully, we can see that he can basically be said to be "outright" in several games. In the case of the opponent's obvious mistakes, he can still "outright" the opponent. What does this mean? It can only show that Li Xiaoqiang's Go level has improved again. And it's a very big step forward. ”
"With strength as a guarantee, last year's Li Xiaoqiang could achieve 5 consecutive wins. This year, we can expect more from him. After speaking, Li Xiaoqiang. Let's talk about his opponents. His next opponent is Osamu Ohira. Some of them may be impressed by their games last year. Indeed, of all Li Xiaoqiang's victories, that game was probably the most thrilling one. In all fairness, Daping Jiudan is indeed getting stronger and stronger. Admirable. In terms of Go level alone, he should be higher than Li Xiaoqiang. But let's not forget that last year was last year, and this year is this year. After all, Dahei Jiudan is old. According to the news from Japan, Ohira Kudan's form this year is not very good, and he has lost a lot of chess in recent times. This is different from Mr. Ohira when he played in the ring last year. Under the rise of the other, I am still optimistic about Li Xiaoqiang winning this game. ”
"If Li Xiaoqiang can pass the level of Daping Xiusan. You will meet Japan's vice-marshal Hiroshi Yamashiro Kudan. To be honest, I think this is the most crucial game of this tournament. This game of chess may be the decisive game of this tournament. Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro is not a top-notch chess player. However, many people in the industry believe that he already has the level of a super-first-class chess player. This can be seen in his domestic record. Since last year, Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro has been in very good form, and his level seems to be improving, and he is even on the trend of becoming a top player. He was very active in their domestic press chess battles. The results are also very good, not only into the "celebrity battle" and "Ben Yin Fang battle" round-robin, but also the possibility of getting the right to challenge. These two loops of theirs are known as the golden chairs, and those who can enter the loops are all first-class Japanese masters. He was able to come out on top in both round-robin rounds, which is quite a feat. ”
"It must be admitted that no matter what aspect is compared, there is a certain gap between Li Xiaoqiang and Hiroshi Yamashiro. This is an undeniable fact. Last year, Li Xiaoqiang was defeated by Mr. Hiroshi Yamashiro. And there are no obvious opportunities in the whole game. If it's someone else, forget it, but Li Xiaoqiang is different. I'm sure he must have been holding back his strength to get revenge. The reporter is very curious, and at the same time, he is also very much looking forward to what method Li Xiaoqiang, who is full of tricks on the chessboard, will use to play this game of chess? Let's just wait and see what they do. Of course, the premise is that Li Xiaoqiang must pass the level of the 39th section of the Daping Xiu......"
The day before the game, the Japanese team came to Shencheng, and Ma Xiaofei, Qian Yuping, Liu Dazhui and Yu Bin from the national team also came to Shencheng. Li Xiaoqiang flipped through the Shencheng Evening News while shaking his head and smiling bitterly:
"I said reporter Zhang, you are roasting me on the fire. I'm curious, how do you like to scribble such predictions, is Mr. Ohira so easy to deal with. Aren't you afraid that others will say that you are a crow's mouth? ”
"Of course I'm not afraid."
"Oh? You have so much faith in me. ”
"It's not that I have faith in you, it's that I think it's worth it."
"Is it worth it? What do you mean? ”
Reporter Zhang Da looked at Li Xiaoqiang proudly:
"Think about it, if you win, then I, Zhang Zhidong, am the "God Prediction". If I can't predict correctly, it's because you're losing. Since it's all caused by you, that is, you are sorry for me, and you owe me a debt. Compared to your favor, what's the big deal about being a "crow's mouth". ”
"Haha
There was a relaxing atmosphere in the room. Li Xiaoqiang looked at Zhang Zhidong dumbfounded, and couldn't figure out how this person's cheeks could be so thick. He had no choice but to shake his head again and again:
"Careless dating, careless ...... making friends"
At the end of May 88, Li Xiaoqiang stepped into the ring again.
"How far can he go?"
Everyone paid silent attention to Li Xiaoqiang. (To be continued......)
