The first round of the 2nd Tian Yuan Tournament has ended. It was getting late, but the competition hall was still lively. Everyone is watching a review.

The protagonists of the review are Li Xiaoqiang and Liu Dazhui. This game actually ended very early, and it should be the first of the 8 games to end. However, the review seems to take a bit long. Not only is it a long time, but other players don't care about the review of their own games, and they all run over here to watch after playing.

This is because Li Xiaoqiang was slain by Liu Da Hammer! Yes, Li Xiaoqiang, who was blown out of the sky by everyone before the game, was slaughtered by others!

"Now it seems that Xiaoqiang's main reason for defeat is still this move. This move is obviously a bit unreasonable, and it can be said that it was lost early. Although the latter fanned the flames everywhere on the chessboard, the sledgehammer dealt with it very correctly. In this way, unreasonable chess will still be punished after all. There is no way to be slaughtered by the dragon, anyway, the dragon will be slaughtered, and it will be even more embarrassing to lose if the dragon is not slaughtered......"

Nie Whirlwind, who was on the side, pointed to a move on the chessboard and made a "summary" of the whole game. The move of Nie Whirlwind's finger is strictly speaking a move in the prologue stage, and the 50th move is not enough. In his opinion, Li Xiaoqiang's game of chess will not work if he has less than 50 moves.

Hearing Nie Whirlwind say this, Liu Dazhui was immediately humble after winning the chess:

"Whereever, I won this game by luck. Xiaoqiang's later moves are still a headache for me, but fortunately, I finally didn't make a mistake in the back......"

Nie Whirlwind is right, Li Xiaoqiang was caught by Liu Da Hammer in an unreasonable move in the prologue stage. Soon the situation was no longer the case. Liu Dazhui is not exactly polite, in the face of Li Xiaoqiang's fanning behind him and making trouble everywhere, his pressure in the game is indeed very great.

But no matter what, Li Xiaoqiang loses and loses. To describe this game of loss, it can only be said to be a "crisp defeat"!

That's right, Li Xiaoqiang was defeated!

Li Xiaoqiang's performance disappointed many people, especially many local chess players who saw Li Xiaoqiang's "peers" for the first time. For the first time, they had a close look at Li Xiaoqiang's chess. Unexpectedly, he handed over such an answer sheet. Of course, the most disappointed is Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Da reporters.

There are also many people who are confused by Li Xiaoqiang's performance. Li Xiaoqiang has been training with the national team for several months, and the members of the national team are more familiar with Li Xiaoqiang's chess. They knew that Li Xiaoqiang's Go level was high, but it must not be. However, his chess is full of resilience, coupled with some of his whimsical ideas, these two things add up to Li Xiaoqiang's headaches.

Now Li Xiaoqiang is actually defeated! Such a thing...... It seems to be the first time it has happened, and some people have begun to worry about Li Xiaoqiang. These people, including Ma Xiaofei and Cao Dafang.

"Li Xiaoqiang, who lacks tenacity. Will it still be that much of a headache? ”

Not only did some people start to worry about Li Xiaoqiang, but some people were already ready to take measures. Those who are ready to take measures are, of course, the "Four Elders of Go" them.

"Well, it seems that we are still too indulgent to Xiaoqiang. His brittle defeat is obviously the result of his unfamiliar chess skills. At that time, I didn't know what Lu Dao thought, and he would let him go back to the place. Without a good atmosphere, even if it is a genius like Xiaoqiang, it is difficult to improve. No, no, you can't continue to let his temperament come. Let him continue like this. If this child is gone, then we are sinning. Criminal ...... against the Go business"

Prepare to take measures, that is just preparation. Overall, everyone is still full of expectations for Li Xiaoqiang. Li Xiaoqiang's performance was not good. But after all, it's just a game of chess, isn't it? Besides, his opponent is Liu Dazhu. No matter how you expect Li Xiaoqiang's performance, his loss to Liu Dazhui can be regarded as a very normal result.

Li Xiaoqiang lost the chess and was eliminated in the Tianyuan Competition. Isn't there a celebrity battle right after that?

"Look again. Take a look and see what he did in the celebrity fight. It's not too late to make a decision......"

Of course, Li Xiaoqiang didn't know that someone in Lu Dao was ready to "take measures" against him, but no one knew what Li Xiaoqiang himself thought. After losing, Li Xiaoqiang became more and more silent. Fortunately, he is usually silent, but he doesn't seem to have anything unusual.

Zhang Da reporter relied on his friendship with Li Xiaoqiang, but wanted to ask him how he really felt. But it's a pity that Li Xiaoqiang can't find out what he thinks at all. Li Xiaoqiang looks happy and carefree, if he is forced to be in a hurry, he will come to the last sentence at most:

"Hehe, look at it, you'll see it......"

Reporter Zhang Da had no choice but to continue to wait, and many people continued to wait.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to wait for a single-elimination match like Tianyuan Tournament, and Li Xiaoqiang decided the top 8 after losing the game. Within a week, the challenger was decided with a crackle. Liu Da Hammer, as in real history, won the right to challenge. He will compete with Ma Xiaofei in five games for the title of China's Tian Yuan.

The Tianyuan Tournament has come to an end for the time being. After two days, the first Chinese celebrity battle will start immediately.

At this time, people were even more worried about Li Xiaoqiang. Because everyone found that Liu Dazhui's state was a little too good to be true, and he looked a little unstoppable. The content of chess is also very substantial.

Li Xiaoqiang, who is "unfamiliar with chess skills", once again encountered Liu Dazhui, who was in good shape......

Everyone's fears soon became reality. Li Xiaoqiang lost to Liu Dazhui again. Well, this time it's not a "crisp defeat", but there doesn't seem to be any obvious chance overall. It can't be said that Li Xiaoqiang played badly, but his opponent played better.

"Li Xiaoqiang was finally beaten back to his original form!"

Of course, no one said such a thing, but everyone vaguely felt this way. Counting the loss to Hiroshi Yamashiro in the ring, Li Xiaoqiang has lost three times in a row!

At this time, the "Four Elders of Go" thought that they couldn't wait any longer, and they had to take measures against Li Xiaoqiang! Even if Li Xiaoqiang is stuffed into the national junior team, he can't let him go back to the place.

The "Four Elders of Go" thinks this way, which makes sense. Because there's a ready-made example on the side. While Li Xiaoqiang lost in the third section, Chang Rensheng won in the first section! He defeated Wang Qun in the first round. Of course, this is a big upset, although it is an upset, but it also tests the effect of the establishment of the national junior team. One is "in the DPRK" and the other is "in the opposition", such a stark contrast, of course, can prompt the management to make up its mind.

Fortunately, the celebrity battle used a "double-elimination tournament", and Li Xiaoqiang fell into the losing group after the first round. But he still has a chance, and a chance to change management's decision. And a chance to prove yourself!

Can Li Xiaoqiang do it?

No one can say whether Li Xiaoqiang has proved himself, but it is true that he has been winning chess since then.

In the first round of the losing group, Li Xiaoqiang met a local chess player, Guo Wuduan. Well, Li Xiaoqiang stumbled and won others.

In the second round, he met Chang Rensheng, who also fell into the defeated group. This is the first time Li Xiaoqiang has met Chang Rensheng in an official professional match. The "Chess Kids Cup" doesn't count, it's a "restricted" tournament. By this time, Li Xiaoqiang seemed to have found a little game form. In the game, Chang Rensheng was not given any chance. Cruelly eliminated Chang Rensheng from the game.

In the third round, some people have already begun to sigh:

"Tsk, Li Xiaoqiang's luck is so good!"

That's right, Li Xiaoqiang's luck is good. He ran into Wang Lunan 8 Duan, one of the four elders of Go. Wang Lao, who had been in the battle formation for a long time, did not block Li Xiaoqiang's brute force.

In the 4th round, even Li Xiaoqiang himself was a little embarrassed:

"I said, my character is so likely to be so bad. Now it seems that when I draw Liu Da Hammer in a row, I am saving character......"

Li Xiaoqiang met Team Leader Hua in the 4th round.

In this way, Li Xiaoqiang made great progress in the defeated group. actually entered the semi-finals of the losing group. Clearly, though, his victory was not convincing.

"Who will review Li Xiaoqiang's true level?"

A lot of people think so. But at this time, everyone suddenly found that there seemed to be few opportunities to check his level. This is because, at the inaugural Masters Tournament. It can be said that it is unpopular.

In addition to Liu Dazhui singing all the way in the winning group, he won 5 consecutive victories early and won a place in the finals. He has won nine consecutive matches in two fights, and his form is terrifying. Member of the national team. It seems to be a little out of shape.

Especially Ma Xiaofei Jiuduan, he was obviously distracted by the ring match. Early double elimination.

The first celebrity battle was not only unpopular, but also a little accident. The celebrity battle has reached the final stage, and everyone's mind has turned to the ring match.

This time. Masaki Takemiya has come to China. At this time, the Spring Festival is approaching. At this time, Li Xiaoqiang finally met a good opponent in the celebrity battle.

Yes. At that time, the best opponent in the country. In the semifinals of the defeated group, Li Xiaoqiang met Nie Whirlwind!

At this time, many people began to get excited. To review Li Xiaoqiang's level, is there a more suitable candidate than Nie Whirlwind?

Of course, the most excited is the organizers of the competition. From a news point of view, Li Xiaoqiang VS Nie Whirlwind, that is, of course, the most newsworthy domestic game.

"The battle between the current king and the future king!"

They even picked up the headline of the report. In order to show grandeur, of course, the main thing is to create gimmicks, and at the same time, not to affect the ring match. The game was moved to a year later. We will wait until the 3rd Ring Tournament is over.

I don't know who first proposed it, and this match is best played the day before the celebration after the victory in the ring. By that time, two old and new ring heroes ...... Gee!

As soon as this idea was proposed, it received an enthusiastic response from everyone. Indeed, out of trust in Nie Whirlwind, no one would think about the possibility of China losing the ring. I don't want to think about it. Especially after Ma Xiaofei won the Wu Palace. The confidence of the Chinese has reached its peak.

This faith is not unreasonable. Ma Xiaofei's victory in the Wu Palace is indeed a landmark event. In the final stage of the ring match, for the first time, there was a situation of "2 to 1" for the Chinese team! In the eyes of many people, this is a sign that Chinese Go can fully compete with Japanese Go.

At this time, more people were wondering if it was possible for Ma Xiaofei to kill Kato together. I don't think that the Chinese team will lose the ring match.

For such an arrangement, Li Xiaoqiang certainly has no reason to refuse. Not only will he not refuse, but he is more excited, more expectant.

"This is the Nie Whirlwind, the Nie Whirlwind at the real peak! What could be a better game for me? ”

"Do I have a chance to win? Nie Whirlwind at its peak, does it have weaknesses......"

The Spring Festival is coming soon. In order not to toss back and forth, Li Xiaoqiang will stay in the capital for the New Year.

"Hehe, Xiaoqiang, I won't accompany you in the capital. I'm going back to Shencheng for the New Year, but it doesn't matter, I'll be over as soon as the New Year is over. I'll see how you perform. You don't have to think too much about it, it's a great learning opportunity for you...... Hey, Xiaoqiang, what are you thinking? ”

Li Xiaoqiang stared at Zhang Zhidong and said very seriously:

"I will definitely do everything I can to defeat Teacher Nie. Because ......"

"Because of what?"

"Because I have something very important to do!"

After saying this, Li Xiaoqiang turned around and left. After walking a few steps, Li Xiaoqiang turned around:

"By the way, I wish you a nice trip. Also, when it's time for the game, you have to watch it carefully, watch it carefully......"

Li Xiaoqiang left, and Zhang Zhidong stood in place.

"What does Xiaoqiang want to do?" (To be continued......)
