Go Legend Chapter 609

Chapter 609 The Luck of a Lifetime

After Li Xiangping and Gu Dali joined forces in the final, reporter Zhang Da put the microphone to Gu Dali's mouth immediately:

"Dali, this is the second time you and Xiang Ping have met in the finals of the World Series, so how do you feel now?"

"First of all, of course I'm happy."

Maybe it's because he was really happy after winning chess. Dali said a lot today, and he continued to talk: "As for getting the opportunity to ask Xiangping for advice again, this reminds me of Mr. Sakata Eio. already."

"Mr. Sakata Eio?"

"Yes, I just read Mr. Sakata Eio's autobiography, and there is a sentence in it that impressed me a lot. He said that when he challenged Mr. Wu Qingyuan, he could have the opportunity to play six games with Mr. Wu, and then play again. Once Shifanqi was his lifelong luck, and my current mood is actually similar to Mr. Sakata Eio. I thought that I once asked Xiangping for Wufanqi, and then another single-game final. There is an opportunity to play three games, I think this is also a lifetime luck for me, so I will cherish this opportunity, thank you."

As soon as Gu Dali said this, even Li Xiangping, who was standing beside him, looked sideways, saying in his heart, Dali brother, Dali brother, you are a few years older than me, and you are considered to be famous earlier than me. In this public, you Does it need to be so provocative? Makes me look like an old man.

However, apart from Li Xiangping himself, no one at the scene thought there was anything wrong with Gu Dali's words, especially the Chinese reporters present, who felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Looking back at Li Xiangping's career in the past 5 years, this is almost a living history of anti-Korean.

Li Xiangping's anti-Korean history alone!

Most of his championships were won from Korean players, and among others, he and Da Li played the most times in the final, followed by Xiao Li.

But if you continue to think about it, you will find that except for the big and small Li of South Korea, no one has had the opportunity to compete with Li Xiang in the second final before.

The reason why there is no third person yet, Li Xiangping naturally doesn't think too much about it, but in the eyes of others, this is the strength of other people.

And now, Gu Dali finally did it, he became the third player to have the chance to play more than two finals with Li Xiangping.

It is precisely because of this that all those who are familiar with the history of Japanese Go think that the example Gu Dali just gave is appropriate.

You must know that when Sakata challenged Mr. Wu, he was ineligible at first. ��

At that time, Mr. Wu had successively defeated Miyuki Kitani, Tonzai Fujisawa, senior Yan Jin Junichi, and senior brother Utaro Hashimoto.

Originally, according to the strength, it was Sakata Eio's turn to play, but unfortunately due to the famous "Shenxian Gorge Reversal", the sad reminder Mr. Sakata Eio was not in the "Honinfang". Since there is no such title, according to the Japanese chess circle at that time. Environment, everyone thinks he does not have this qualification.

So the one who played ahead of Sakata Eio was Hideo Takakawa who had achieved a nine-game losing streak in "Honinfang" at that time.

But when Takakawa Hideo was also defeated by Mr. Wu, there was really no one in the Japanese Go world, and then I thought of Sakata Eio again.

But at that time, the rules of the Japanese Go world were still very big, and the organizer Yomiuri Shimbun still believed that Sakata was not qualified to play Juban, so the game specification was reduced, and Jufan was changed to Liufan.

Surprisingly, Sakata won unexpectedly in the previous six rounds of chess, which made the subsequent ten rounds of chess come naturally.

Later, in the autobiography of Mr. Sakata Eio, he recalled the past, and also recounted his psychological experience at the time. .

And today, just now, Gu Dali once again said the expression "lifelong luck", which of course everyone thinks is appropriate.

The microphone was handed to Li Xiangping's mouth again:

"Xiangping, this year is very interesting. There are only three world competitions this year, and now the champions and runners-up are all won by Chinese players. Can we now think that our Chinese Go has completely suppressed Korean Go?"

"this this"

In fact, to tell the truth, Li Xiangping didn't think much about the situation that happened this year at first. He thought it was just an accident. In such a small year of Go this year, although it is a small probability, it is not completely inconceivable.

But he continued to think deeply, but he felt that this coincidence was inevitable.

And this "inevitability" should be related to his own appearance.

Anyone who is familiar with the history of modern Go will of course know that most of the Korean chess players are from the actual fighting faction. They are strong in the middle game and attach great importance to the skills in the second half of the game. On the contrary, they don't pay much attention to the skills of the sequence game and chess theory.

This is their tradition, or even their genes. This characteristic of theirs has been inherited from the time of Cao Xu.

But the situation in China is slightly different. Although after Li Canghao appeared, Chinese chess players also began to pay attention to the second half of the game. However, due to the existence of old chess masters like Lao Nie, Chinese chess players have always attached importance to chess theory, and some of them attach importance to layout. Tradition.

And the dog tricks brought by Li Xiangping are really useful to everyone only the chess part.

After all, if anyone learns dog tricks, it is impossible to improve his own computing power. At most, it is to revise his Go concept and enhance their understanding of Go.

Now, of course, everyone is learning dog tricks, but Li Xiangping knows in his heart that the professional chess player group has really accepted dog tricks on a large scale, in fact, it has only happened in the last year or two.

It is precisely because everyone has a short study time, so the habits that everyone has formed before can be seen in a short period of time.

Korean chess players have always paid less attention to chess theory and more emphasis on the sequence board, so they accepted the importance of dog tricks slowly.

Especially now that it is not in the future, chess players can use chess records to "walk the dog", and they can use Go AI as an auxiliary learning tool. Slow down.

On the other hand, Chinese chess players have always had this tradition, so in a short period of time, Chinese chess players have progressed faster.

And the above is the "inevitability of chance" in Li Xiangping's mind.

Of course, although Li Xiangping has this view in his heart, he will not say it in public �

You must know that today is the "LG Cup", this is the territory of the Koreans, and I make money from others in this place. It seems a bit unkind to speak out against them.

Obviously, Li Xiangping has always claimed to be a kind person, so after Zhang Da reporter asked, Li Xiangping started to fight haha:

"Haha accidental, I think this is really an accident, we can't think that this year's results are good, just think that China's Go has completely suppressed Korean Go, until we know that Korean Go is still very strong, especially some of their top players, they have A lot of features are really worth learning for me.”

Even the reporter Zhang Da felt bored after talking about Datong's unnutritious scenes. He said that the guy in front of him was not even as good as Gu Dali, and Gu Dali knew sensationalism, but if you look at him, he would not even be sensational. It's really useless to talk about these false clichés.

Maybe it was because reporter Zhang Da felt bored, so he quickly let go of Li Xiangping and let the post-match interview come to an abrupt end.

This trip to South Korea is over, so for Li Xiangping, there are only three games left in this season, one is a domestic "celebrity battle", and the other two are two world competitions held by Koreans.

The opponents of the 3 games are all Chinese players.

Not only are the opponents compatriots, but also the "LG Cup" with Gu Dali is already in February next year.

Because of this, Li Xiangping's schedule is quite loose in the following days, which gives him more time to care about other chores.

The chores that Li Xiangping is most concerned about now are of course "big national players", so after he returned to China, he immediately contacted Zhao Jiadong and asked about the casting of the first protagonist.

"We've already contacted a few actors, and we're going to audition right away. Would you like to come check it out on the day of the audition?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jiadong said to Li Xiangping with a smile.

"When is the audition?"

"Just this Saturday."

As soon as he heard that it was a weekend without classes, Li Xiangping immediately said:

"Okay, I'll be right here, where's the place."

"My company, I'll send you the address later."

On Saturday, Li Xiangping was excited to see how to audition, and he was not ready to go alone. On Friday, he told Team Leader Hua and Lao Nie about it:

"Mr. Hua, Teacher Nie, CCTV is going to shoot a TV drama about Go, with the tenth game of Danghu as the main line, reflecting the growth of Fan Shi's two chess masters, tomorrow is the audition of one of the protagonists, Shi Xiangxia, why don't we go? have a look?"

"Ah! CCTV is shooting a Go TV drama? What's the situation?"

After Li Xiangping explained the previous situation in general, the two laughed together, and Lao Nie even grinned:

"Haha, this is a good thing, Lao Hua, do you think it's true? This must be supported. I'll audition tomorrow, okay, okay, then we'll all go over there and see."

On the second day, Li Xiangping connected these two early, and then came to Zhao Jiadong's newly opened company. His company was in Chaoyang, not far from Li Xiangping's house.

After arriving at the land, he found that in addition to Zhao Jiadong himself, there were several people waiting there. Zhao Jiadong introduced them to everyone, and he especially focused on two of them. One of them was an old man who had already been half buried. What is the general counsel of the "big national player", another middle-aged man surnamed Qiu, Zhao Jiadong said that he is the director of the show.

These two seem to be chess fans. Not only do they know Lao Nie and Li Xiangping, but Director Qiu also said that he likes watching Team Leader Hua play chess the most.

Li Xiangping is not interested in any consultant director. The only thing he is interested in now is the actor who plays Lao Shi, so after a simple polite greeting, he immediately went straight to the subject and asked when the audition would start.

Zhao Jiadong looked at his watch:

"Come on, it is estimated that they are almost there, and it is less than half an hour before the agreed time. By the way, the information of several actors is on the desk, or you can take a look at the screen."

Li Xiang smiled wide-eyed: "Okay, I'll take a look first."
