Chapter 774: The Rivalry of Nations
It's just that Meng Hao didn't participate in the special training and didn't even set foot in the door of the national team, so the players of the Han team are not familiar with Meng Hao.
Seeing Meng Hao and Ding Huang, most of them watched coldly, and few people took the initiative to come forward to say hello.
Like Chang Jie Xu Yingchun and others, they made no secret of their hostility towards Meng Hao.
Only Liang Xinyu saw Meng Hao and Ding Huang, so he hurriedly ran up, with a little girl's coquettishness, begging to pester Meng Hao for guidance.
Meng Hao naturally did not hide his selfishness, and exchanged and discussed with Liang Xinyu in a very targeted manner in view of Liang Xinyu's advantages and disadvantages.
This girl is indeed very talented in Go, in just two months of special training, her chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds, Meng Hao estimates that with her current level, she may not lose against Xu Yingchun.
In the afternoon, led by Dong Wenqiang, a few Han players were selected to participate in the Three Kingdoms Friendship Conference.
Zhang Xu originally didn't want to go, but when he heard Ding Huang say that he wanted to tease Dong Wenqiang, Zhang Xu really couldn't help but want to see this excitement.
So Zhang Xu asked the assistant head coach to lead the rest of the players to continue training, and he also followed him to the scene of the Three Kingdoms Friendship Association.
It was in the banquet hall of a large hotel.
The banquet hall is very large, more than 200 square meters.
At this time, at the front of the banquet hall, a platform had been erected.
The area of the platform is about sixty or seventy square meters, and that is where the players who will know martial arts will go up to communicate.
The players from Fusang and Dongyi have already arrived first, of course, not all of them have arrived, but only more than a dozen players have been selected.
Together with the team leaders and coaches from various countries, there are about 40 people in total.
On the contrary, the number of players and coaches from other countries who came to see the excitement was even higher, at least more than 50.
However, in this spacious banquet hall, it will not feel crowded at all.
As soon as they saw the Han people arriving, the two leaders of Fusang and Dongyi came up together.
Naturally, all countries have players or translators who are proficient in other countries' written languages, and Ding Huang also helped him introduce him in Meng Hao's ear.
The two people that Meng Hao paid the most attention to must be the chess king of Fusang Kingdom and the little chess god of Dongyi Kingdom.
The Fuso Chess King is thirty years old this year, a short and fat man, and at first glance, he looks like an old farmer.
However, Meng Hao knows that Fusang has another Go genius rising this year, and this Fuso chess king is no longer the top seed player in Fusang.
However, Dongyi's little chess god was still in full swing, and seeing him with his chin held high and his eyes empty, it made Meng Hao feel extremely disgusted.
But this man does have the capital of his pride.
It has been seven years since he won his first World Championship at the age of 15, winning two tournaments and numerous other tournaments.
Basically, as long as this little chess god plays, the championship will not fall into the hands of others.
He had naturally heard that there was a strong player in the Han Kingdom who defeated Xu Yingchun, so when the team leaders and coaches of the three countries greeted each other and said polite words, this Dongyi little chess god quickly inquired about Meng Hao's location, and a pair of eyes shot straight towards Meng Hao.
"You are the one who defeated Xu Yingchun in the Han Kingdom selection tournament this time? I heard that you are twenty-six years old, why do I see that you are not as old as I imagined? ”
This little chess god can speak Chinese, but he stumbles.
In fact, Meng Hao's skin is as delicate as a baby, and he not only looks not old, but even younger than the twenty-three-year-old little chess god.
But it can be seen from the look of the little chess god that the focus of his remarks is "already twenty-six years old", not "not so old".
In other words, he was not praising Meng Hao for being young, but satirizing Meng Hao for being twenty-six years old before he suddenly appeared to participate in the Go competition.
In fact, there are also twenty-five or sixteen years old, or even over thirty years old, but these people have emerged in the chess world since they were teenagers, such as Meng Hao, who suddenly appeared at the age of twenty-six, is indeed unique.
So much so that as soon as the little chess god said this, the eyes of countless people immediately projected on Meng Hao, waiting to see how Meng Hao would deal with this embarrassing moment.
"You're right, I'm twenty-six years old!"
But seeing Meng Hao's face full of sincerity and honesty, anyone who looked at his expression at the moment would think that he was a good boy who was loyal and honest.
"I heard that Go talent should be cultivated from an early age, otherwise as you grow older, even if you have talent, you will become a mediocre talent, I don't know if that's the case?"
You look at him with two eyes at the little chess god, obviously he is a few years older than the little chess god, but at the moment he is like a primary school student, as if he is really asking the little chess god for advice.
The little chess god raised his chin even higher, and said proudly: "That's right! I remember that there is a saying in the Han country, which is called "If you don't become a national player at the age of twenty, you will be hopeless for life", and in our Dongyi country, there is a similar proverb! But you're twenty-six years old......"
"yes, I'm twenty-six years old, what a pity!"
Meng Hao nodded again and again, and preemptively cut off the words that the little chess god had not finished.
And his next words took a sharp turn for the worse, which was shocking.
"But I can't help it, I only got into Go a few months ago, and I didn't know I had talent! It's a shame that I've become a mediocre genius this day! ”
"But fortunately, Go is the quintessence of our Han country, and its birthplace was originally our Han country, so although I have only been in contact with Go for a few months, I have been exposed to it and can be regarded as touching some of the doors of this quintessence!"
"Do you know how broad and profound our Han chess path is? Even if I just find some doorways, it won't be a big problem to defeat the top chess players in Fusang and Dongyi! ”
“…… Oh, I'm sorry, you're from Dongyi, right? I forgot that! ”
When Meng Hao said this, there were naturally people among the players from all over the world who were translating immediately, so Meng Hao's words fell, and the hall was already in an uproar.
This kid pretended to be loyal and honest, and pretended to be really asking for advice with an open mind, but when he spoke, he was so angry.
Oh my God, he's only been in contact with Go for a few months, and if he can really beat the top players of Fusang and Dongyi, will the top players of these two countries still survive?
Luckily, he was only targeting players from these two countries, and players from other countries were not expected to win the championship and runner-up.
In the history of Go, the champions and runners-up have always been the Han, Fusang, and Dongyi countries taking turns to sit in the village, and players from other countries can win the third and fourth places, which is already a fluke.
Therefore, although the players from other countries also followed the uproar, they were basically just coaxing the seedlings, and the real anger was the players from Fusang and Dongyi.
Especially the Fusang players, they stood aside and didn't even say a word, you are fighting with the Dongyi little chess god, why did you drop the cannonball on my Fusang people's heads?
It's infuriating!
It's just unbearable!
The problem is that Fusang has really been bad in recent years, the championship is always taken away by Dongyi Xiaoqi God, and most of the runners-up will fall to Xu Yingchun of the Han Kingdom.
Otherwise, he Fuso would not have been cheeky and would have to spend two days after the official tournament to add an AI challenge to challenge the top few winners of the tournament.
This is that you can't find a place to use people, you can only use technology to earn back face.
In fact, it is a truth that you can't win a formal chess match, but you win in martial arts at a sorority.
Therefore, Fuso was so angry that everyone gritted their teeth and shouted, but no one dared to rush out, saying that they would definitely be able to win the championship of this tournament.
Dongyi's little chess god was even more angry, and when the noise around him gradually subsided, the little chess god sneered.
"What a big breath, just with you, an old man who only came out at the age of twenty-six, do you really have the confidence to defeat my little chess god?"
The so-called "chess god and chess fairy", that is what others say, like this Dongyi little chess god, directly calls himself "little chess god", which is really rarely heard of.
It can also be seen how arrogant this Dongyi little chess god is, even if he does have arrogant capital, it makes Meng Hao feel disgusted.
"Am I twenty-six? As I said, I've only been in contact with Go for a few months, and it's really ...... to beat you, a Dongyi chess god."
He dragged his voice out and shook his head.
Everyone thought that he would at least say something like "a little difficult", but they didn't expect him to suddenly come up with four words: "No problem!" ”
The string is: "To defeat you, the little chess god of Dongyi, is really ...... No problem! ”
The audience was in an uproar again.
Even Dong Wenqiang gritted his teeth with anger on his face.
"This kid is really ashamed, isn't he digging a pit and jumping by himself! It's good if he can really win the championship, in case the championship is taken away by other national players, I see where his face goes! And not only him, but our entire Han Kingdom will be reduced to a laughing stock again! ”
He used a "again", which naturally alluded to the last tournament "The sorority won the martial arts, but the official event failed to win the championship".
And the head coach of the last tournament was also Zhang Xu, which was tantamount to slapping Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu was speechless, and said for a long time: "Perhaps...... Meng chess player is really sure to defeat Dongyi Little Chess God and win the championship this time! ”
"Are you really sure?"
Dong Wenqiang sneered, wanting to say a few extremely ugly words, but in the end, it only turned into a disgusting action, "Ahh ”
As soon as he landed, Meng Hao suddenly shouted: "Team Leader Dong, you know me best, tell the players from these countries, is it possible for me Meng Hao to defeat the chess players of Dongyi and Fusang and win the championship of this competition?" ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Dong Wenqiang.
Dong Wenqiang suddenly felt burned all over his body, as if he had suddenly been roasted on the fire.
It's too despicable, this surname is Meng!
How do you ask him Dong Wenqiang to answer?
No matter how you answer, it's all wrong!
