Go Legend

   Chapter 98 Trouble with management

   On the evening of the end of the competition, Li Xiangping, accompanied by team leader Hua and Shao Weigang, attended the semi-final closing dinner held by the organizer.

  Not long after the banquet started, the host was in Nabalala, and Li Xiangping heard the team leader Hua say to himself:

   "Xiang Ping, hurry up, hehe, the host asked you to go up and say a few words."

  Li Xiangping looked around the venue and saw that when he got up, Li Canghao seemed to get up at the same time, and the two came to the host at the same time.

The host's microphone first aimed at Li Xiangping. In fact, at this moment, all eyes of the entire venue were aimed at Li Xiangping. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Xiangping now is the focus of the entire world chess world. .

After all, he is still an amateur chess player. After all, the information he has released so far is not yet 14 years old. After all, he started from the qualifiers this time, defeated all the powerful enemies all the way, and won 10 consecutive victories. The record has come this far.

  Compared to the other protagonist of the final, Li Canghao, who is the number one player in the chess world today, is a commonplace in the world competition, and he certainly has reason to attract more attention.

   "Player Li, congratulations on entering the final stage of the World Series. How do you feel when you have come to this stage?"

Maybe it's because Li Xiangping's situation is too special. It's something that has never happened in professional Go competitions. The host doesn't know what to call Li Xiangping. .

  Li Xiangping acted as if the wind was light and cloudy: "Hehe, I don't really feel it. If I have to say something, it should be because I didn't expect it, hehe, I didn't expect it."

It should be said that Li Xiangping's words are half-truths. It must be admitted that when he decided to participate in the qualifiers, he really never thought that Lao Shi would be able to enter the finals, but I don't know when it started, maybe it was Let’s start with defeating Lao Cao’s game of chess, and maybe it will be later. In short, with Lao Shi’s progress, Li Xiangping’s confidence is getting stronger and stronger.”

   The game that just ended was Li Xiangping's most confident moment. During the game, Li Xiangping never seemed to think that Lao Shi would be eliminated by Liu Changhe.

   "Facing the number one player in the chess world in the final, has player Li ever thought about how to ask his opponent for advice?"

   Listening to the host's question and looking at Li Canghao standing beside him, Li Xiangping felt dazed for a while. The current Da Li is just 25 years old. He is at the peak of his career. Since he won his first personal world championship 9 years ago, he has been the number one rival of the entire Chinese Go.  Qin 飧 馿甏    Mi Naxi Shi swayed �

Ma Xiaofei had N-game losing streak under him, Chang Hao had N-game losing streak under him, and several generations of Chinese Go leaders were suppressed by him. In real history, this situation will continue for many years, and it will take 5 years. Destroy the myth of Li Changhao by the magical Luoshen pig.

  Li Xiangping smiled slightly, and he said to the host that today's host is another beautiful lady who doesn't know whether it is artificial or natural:

   "I noticed that you used the word "ask for advice" just now. What I want to correct now is that this time I have the opportunity to play five chess with Li Jiuduan. I didn't come here with the mentality of asking for advice."

   After the translation, the host was obviously taken aback: "Oh? Haha"

Li Xiangping continued with a smile and said: "My words are not disrespectful to Li Jiuduan, you must know that I am 14 years old this year. I have been studying Go formally for nearly 5 years now. I am not afraid to tell you that over the years, I have practiced the most and played the most notation, which is actually Li Jiuduan's chess, so now, I am tired of it, and I don't want to learn Li Jiuduan any more. It is for this reason that I don't want to hear any more words like "ask for advice"."

   "Hehehehe" Li Xiangping's words caused good-natured laughter from the entire venue. Indeed, in this day and age, if people of Li Xiangping's age are interested in taking the professional Go path, how many of them did not grow up playing Li Canghao's chess?

   After Li Xiangping finished speaking, the microphone was handed to Li Canghao:

   "This time the opponent is very special, and his chess is also very interesting"

   To be honest, Li Xiangping really didn't really listen to what Li Xiangping said. Anyway, with his "Stone Buddha" personality, he didn't really need to pay too much attention to the diplomatic rhetoric he said.

   The day after the game, Li Xiangping and the Chinese delegation set off for their return home. On the plane, everyone started chatting, and Team Leader Hua said first;

"The Samsung Cup finals are all played in Shencheng. The game will start on May 30, and the next game will be played the next day. If you can play 5 rounds, the game will end on June 7, so Xiangping, During this time, prepare yourself well."

   Shao Weigang was surprised: "Yeah? This time the schedule is so tight, wasn't it usually divided into two stages before, with a few games in China and a few games in Korea?"

Team Leader Hua nodded: "It's probably because of the last final, because they modified the schedule without authorization, so Ma Xiao lost the championship, and you know, the Samsung Cup, they actually value the Chinese market very much, so this year's competition Finalize the final schedule early."

"Is that so?" Shao Weigang turned his head and smiled at Li Xiangping: "But this is good, such a tight schedule, I think it is still beneficial to Xiangping. After all, Xiangping is so much younger than him, Li Canghao, and youth means good health. Well, haha, tsk, Xiang Ping is not yet 14 years old, right? It's amazing to be in the finals of the World Series at the age of 14, and you must do your best when it comes to the finals."

Team Leader Hua also said with a smile: "Yes, if I remember correctly, when Li Canghao won his first championship, it should be Xiangping's age now, but he is only a domestic title, and we Xiangping are now at the same age. It's a direct competition for the world championship, so Xiang Ping will play well at that time. If you really sack him then, you can be regarded as setting a new record in the world chess world. Hehe, you played so well this time, but give it to us There's a problem"

For the two of them, Li Xiangping just smiled and didn't respond, because he could hear that although the two of them said good things and encouraged him, but from their tone, even until now, I don't really believe that I can beat Li Changhao.

   Li Xiangping doesn't care about himself, he said to his plug-in:

   "Brother Ding'an, did you hear? Now you know why I put this person ahead of you, right? This is the deterrent effect of "Heart A" in the chess world, so you will definitely give me a chance."

  Because he only thought about Da Li, Li Xiangping ignored the last sentence of Team Leader Hua. When everyone returned to the country, Li Xiangping naturally went home when it was time to go home, but Team Leader Hua was immediately recalled to the meeting by the Chess Academy:

"Lao Hua just happened to be back, come and come, let's discuss about Li Xiangping now, nothing else, they have already entered the finals of the World Championships, if they are an amateur chess player again, then It doesn't seem right."
