Go Legend Chapter 448

Chapter 448 Everything is ready

After the match between Chang Hao and Li Changhao, Da Li accepted a joint interview with reporters.

Reporter: "Excuse me, Li Jiuduan, how do you feel about today's game of chess?"

Da Li: "It was very difficult, I wanted to give up at one point, but a belief has always supported me, so I have to say sorry to my good friend Chang Hao Jiuduan, he played very well today, I learned a trick from him, Finally, thank him for his accomplishment, thank you"

Reporter: "A belief supports you? Can I ask what belief it is?"

Da Li: "Faith is tomorrow's game. As long as I think that Li Xiangping is waiting for me in the 9th dan, I tell myself that I must not lose. I am eager to play against him."

Um? Da Li's answer is a bit unexpected, especially the Chinese reporters present are not used to it, because according to the domestic routine, at this time, athletes should not say "hard work and win glory for the country" and so on. ? How come to the Koreans, the desire to fight with a person can also become a belief?

"That's right, it is because of Li Xiangping's ninth dan, he has provided me with a steady stream of powerful motivation!"

When adding this question, Da Li still looked serious, and he continued to talk freely:

"People who haven't played against him will never know how powerful he is. I even think that even many people who have played against him, such as me, can't see his full face, his chess skills. It is a treasure. This treasure deeply attracted me and made me so fascinated. So I still say that, I am fortunate to be in the same era as Li Xiangping's Jiudan, and everyone knows that I am 12 years older than him, So I don't have another chance to play against him, and I think it's the luck of my life."

Um? Hearing Dali say this reminded many reporters that Dali seemed to have said similar things after the "LG Cup" not long ago.

It's just that everyone didn't care at the time, thinking that it was just a humble word of the winner, and this remark was also in line with Da Li's consistent personality.

But what about this time?

Last time he said it after the game, but this time he said it before the game.

And he just beat his opponent in a fan chess match, and this time he has 4 consecutive victories, so in this case, is it necessary for Da Li to destroy his prestige?

This is unreasonable no matter how you think about it.

Since it is unreasonable, it proves that what Dali said is probably the truth.

There is nothing to say. After everyone finished interviewing Da Li, a group of reporters rushed upstairs and surrounded Li Xiangping.

"Haha, did Li really say that? He is humble and polite"

Since Da Li said this, Li Xiangping felt that he could not be too hypocritical, so he faced many reporters and published a brief "pre-match testimonial":

"Let me tell you the truth, since I lost to Senior Li Canghao last time, I haven't slept well for more than two months, and sometimes I wake up from a dream, so this time"

Speaking of this, Li Xiangping paused for a while, and he even added a key tone:

"I hope tomorrow's game can cure my insomnia."

After saying this, Li Xiangping refused to say a word again. He and the reporter politely bid farewell, and then dodged back to the room, leaving a group of people looking at each other outside the door.

After everyone came to their senses, many reporters were surprised and overjoyed.

Everyone does have reasons to be "surprised and delighted", not to mention hearing such a special "pre-match testimonial" today:

One side said that he wanted to rely on this game of chess to cure his illness, while the other side was even more exaggerated, and even raised this game of chess to the level of "faith".

Even if you put these things aside, just thinking about the game itself, you can see that its significance is already very important.

Let's talk about the weight of this game first: this is the main duel of the “Nongshim Cup”, and it is a game that directly determines the ownership of the trophy. The "Nongshim Cup" is currently the only world-class Go team competition in the chess world. The prize money for the champion is as high as 300 million won, which is not much lower than that of other individual world competitions.

More importantly, the prize distribution of the "Nongshim Cup" is winner-take-all. That is to say, tomorrow's quick game of chess will directly determine the ownership of 300 million won. The winner takes all, and the loser gets nothing. Enhanced the excitement of the game.

Let's take a look at these two players: Needless to say, Li Canghao used to be the overlord of chess. Since 1996, he has been the undisputed number one in the world chess.

And what about Li Xiangping? In the 2000-01 season, he suddenly emerged. In the 2001-02 season, he began to conquer cities and land. In the 2002-03 season, he has formed a trend of sweeping the world. In the recent 03-04 season, he has actually surpassed Li Canghao, not only The record of each other is superior, and the total score of the year is also superior.

The only thing that is still bad now is just the comparison of the number of champions between the two sides. However, considering that it took Da Li's more than ten championships to take 12 years, and Li Xiangping's seven championships took a little more than three years, such a comparison is not enough. How convincing, it's a bit unfair to Li Xiangping.

Finally, I want to mention the timing of this game: it will be the Chinese New Year in a few days, so in a sense, tomorrow's game will be the final battle of the entire 03-04 season.

So how do you wrap up the season? There is no doubt that the outcome of tomorrow's game of chess is crucial.

If Li Xiangping can win, then there is nothing to say, even if he just lost an "LG Cup" before, no one will doubt that "the era of Li Xiangping" has come, and no one can stop the trend of changing dynasties.

On the other hand, if Li Canghao wins, then it can be considered that the two have fallen into some kind of stalemate, the two generations of chess kings have begun to see each other repeatedly, and even Da Li has begun to "blow the horn for counterattack".

In addition to the above three points, if you consider that the Korean team has never missed in the "Nongshim Cup" before, no, not only the "Nongshim Cup", but also the predecessor of the "Nongshim Cup" "Jinro Cup" , as long as you consider that the Three Kingdoms Tournament has been held for so many years, the South Korean team has never let the championship fall, which gives another layer of meaning to the game tomorrow: Is the South Korean team continuing its glory? Or did Li Xiangping help the Chinese team win the cup for the first time?

A quick game of chess has so many meanings, no wonder the reporters are excited, and they all get excited.

And what do reporters do when they get up? Well, of course they can't do anything else, just write articles to catch up with the draft and continue to fan the flames for the competition.

"Hey, everything is ready, I only owe the east wind". Reporter Zhang Da shook his head while going downstairs.

Lao Xie asked curiously from the side: "What is missing now?"

"There is still a lack of content and the quality of tomorrow's game of chess." Reporter Zhang Da smiled:

"What I just said was the famous game, the famous game in Go! If you want to make a name for this game tomorrow, everything is really ready, and now there is only the performance of the two players tomorrow. ."

He was speechless all night, probably because he was really tired these two days. Li Xiangping slept well this time. When he woke up early in the morning, he felt refreshed and in good condition.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Xiangping came to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel to enjoy a five-star hotel breakfast.

At 9 o'clock, he came to the hotel lobby again, chatting with a group of reporters and bragging.

At 10 o'clock, Li Xiangping accidentally saw the beautiful chess player Tang Lichudan in the hotel.

Tang Chudan is a real beautiful chess player, especially nowadays, the collagen on her face is at the peak of her appearance, and she is currently studying at a university in Shanghai.

The two greeted each other, and Li Xiangping asked her why she came. Tang Chudan told Li Xiangping that because today's game of chess has received unprecedented attention, not only the sports channel of the imperial court will broadcast live, but there will also be an explanation on the spot at the hotel, and she is the one who was caught. The person who was invited to do the commentary, and her partner was the team leader Ma Xiao Feima.

When the early Tang Dynasty left to get busy, reporter Zhang Da asked strangely, "Xiangping, why are you laughing?"

"Haha nothing."

In fact, Li Xiangping remembered that since Tang Chu Duan and Gu Dali were fellow villagers, they even studied in the same primary school or middle school, so the media at this time liked to fry their CPs, but later Tang Chu Duan married a The rich second generation.

Well, when it comes to the future husband of the early Tang Dynasty, he is also Li Yuanhu's counterpart. There are many businesses in the family who are also in the real estate industry, but in terms of this part of the industry, the scale is much smaller than that of Li Yuanhu. The local is small and famous, and it has not been able to have a national layout like Li Yuanhu.

At 11:30, Li Xiangping and Zhang Da reporter Lao Xie and others left, and he needed to go back and readjust.

"Brother Ding'an, do you think my strategy today would be a little risky?"

"Hehe, how do you know about this Ding'an? Anyway, this method was proposed by you, and you are responsible for playing chess yourself, but to be honest, I really want to appreciate the great tricks of little friend Xiangping."

"Haha you guy"

A little after 12 o'clock, Li Xiangping went downstairs to eat lunch again. Considering the game in the afternoon, he learned from Lao Nie's experience and did not dare to eat too much at noon, mainly fruit, and then put a box of chocolates in his pocket.

At 12:55 noon, in a flash of light, Li Xiangping and Li Canghao sat opposite each other.

Dean Wang Lunan personally served as the chief referee of this game. He first presided over the guessing game. Da Li grabbed a large number of chess pieces and held them in his hands. Li Xiangping quietly placed two chess pieces on the chessboard.

After Dean Wang Lunan counted, Li Xiangping guessed wrong, so he played white in this game today.

Then the two sides exchange seats.

At 1:00 p.m. Beijing time, with the order of Dean Wang Lunan, the final battle of the season officially started.

The two players bowed slightly, and then Da Li calmly picked up a black piece and photographed the piece to the star position in the lower left corner of Li Xiangping's direction.

Li Xiangping took a deep breath, and this crucial game officially started.
