Do you mean that she is going to study in China for half a year and then return to Japan for next year's "Spring Match"? ”

"yes, that girl scared us when she first ran to the Go team. It wasn't clear what she meant. Xiaoqiang, look at it, these are the two letters of recommendation she took out. It wasn't until we read these two letters that we knew what she meant......"

When Li Xiaoqiang and Coach Wu were chatting, Yukari Umezawa was not present. When Li Xiaoqiang came to this office, Coach Wu put on a posture of "talking about business". He called a staff member to lead Umezawa to the national junior team first to "go around first".

Coach Wu took out two letters similar to "letters of introduction" and shook them in front of Li Xiaoqiang. Li Xiaoqiang glanced at it briefly, and one was from Fujisawa Hideyuki, an old god stick. And the other one is from Mr. Masao Kato, the master of Umezawa. Li Xiaoqiang didn't take it over, he almost figured out the ins and outs of the matter from Coach Wu's previous briefing.

The general reason why Umezawa Yukari came to China was that she thought that her chess progress might have hit a bottleneck. Now she doesn't know how to continue to improve, so she wants to change the environment and see if she can make a breakthrough after changing the learning environment. That's why she came to China for "further study".

When Yukari Umezawa appeared in this way on the Chinese national Go team. The management of Chinese Go will of course be taken aback. Because for so many years, only Chinese chess players have gone to Japan for "further study". Everyone never thought that there would be Japanese chess players who would come to China for "further study", so everyone was a little unable to turn a corner for a while.

But when Umezawa took out those two "letters of recommendation". Chinese Go simply won't refuse, and there's no reason to refuse. In this detail, it shows that Mei Ze is still more careful, and he also understands the world better.

Yukari Umezawa is a disciple of Mr. Kato. In the Go world, in fact, there is still more emphasis on "masters". Especially the older generation of chess players, there is still a little bit of "school concept" more or less.

She asked Mr. Kato's permission. It proves that her original "master" agreed with her to go to other "schools" to learn chess. In today's era, although this concept of "teacher" is much weaker, many people will not mind this. But Umezawa was so solemn. This at least saves the embarrassment that may occur in Chinese Go, and it is easy to talk when dealing with the Japanese Go community.

Yukari Umezawa took out Mr. Fujisawa Hideyuki's "letter of recommendation" again, and then it was even more impossible for Chinese Go to refuse. You must know that his old man's face is not ordinary in the Chinese chess world. With this relationship, Yukari Umezawa became the first "international student" in the Chinese chess world.

As for Mei Ze's matter, the Chinese Go community is generally happy to see it. Because no matter what, people are willing to come to you to "study abroad". That at least shows that you have something to learn here. Li Xiaoqiang vaguely remembers. In my previous life, there was indeed a Japanese female chess player who came to China to study. And around this time. Li Xiaoqiang just doesn't know why this person has become Yukari Umezawa.

Since the management has agreed to Umezawa's request for "further education". The next step is to arrange specific study matters. Considering Umezawa's age and chess ability, the task of arranging specific learning and training naturally fell to Coach Wu of the national junior team.

"Coach Wu, you can arrange it. With your old knowledge and experience, can such a thing still stump you? I really don't know what you can do with me? ”

"Hehe, I said Xiaoqiang. You don't give me giggles here. To tell you the truth, I don't really have much experience to talk about how to improve her level. Didn't I come to you to discuss it? I can tell you that I also came to you according to the wishes of Team Leader Hua and Coach Luo. In our Go team. Who doesn't know that you have a lot of ideas? You don't want to give me any sloppy eyes this time. ”

Li Xiaoqiang carefully pondered what Coach Wu meant. found that this is really the case, don't look at Coach Wu is also a good coach with rich experience. But for the specific situation of Umezawa, he may not really be able to come up with any good solutions for a while.

Coach Wu is the head coach of the national junior team, and he usually faces. They are all top-notch people like Chang Rensheng and Luo Shen Pig. Such small chess players are carefully selected from all over the country. Not all the level and talent are recognized by everyone, and it is impossible for these people to stay in the national junior team forever.

Such a talented group of chess players. Does Coach Wu need to worry that they won't be able to get in? That, of course, is impossible. Coach Wu may not have thought about it. Let's look at the situation of Yukari Umezawa, she is 18 years old this year, although she worships a famous teacher, but it is said that her level has not improved for many years. 5 years ago, she was a "student" of the Japanese Chess Academy, and now she is still a "student" of the Japanese Chess Academy.

Now that she has run to China, the "Big Hands" competition in Japan half a year later will not only be a great test for Umezawa personally. Invisibly, it seems to have become a test for Chinese Go. If she still can't enter the section after half a year, it means that her "further study" in China has no effect. This will make Coach Wu feel faceless, right? It's no wonder that Coach Wu is so anxious.

The reason why Coach Wu thought of Li Xiaoqiang at the first time. There should be a reason for this. Because even today. Li Xiaoqiang's "mystery of chess power" has still not been solved. When he first "debuted" at the age of 10, how could he already have a professional level? This seems to be an obviously "unscientific" thing. No one is able to know at the moment. When asked Li Xiaoqiang himself, he himself was often vague and couldn't say why.

In this way, Li Xiaoqiang's "talent" certainly surprised many people. Then his "before the age of 10" method of learning is also considered by many to be an "efficient and fast" method. It is a different method from the conventional. What's even more interesting is that everyone's perception has continued even to this day. Because Li Xiaoqiang seems to have always maintained "efficient and fast".

Well, now that Coach Wu is facing Umezawa's situation, he needs an "efficient and fast" approach. So he thought of Li Xiaoqiang for the first time.

After Li Xiaoqiang figured out all the questions, Li Xiaoqiang's heart suddenly moved. He smiled and said to Coach Wu:

"Don't worry, Coach Wu, since you've said everything you have to say. Then this matter is wrapped up in me. Half a year later, I promise to make that girl reach the level of entering the stage in Japan. So be it. I'll make that girl's training plan. But I need someone to work with me, and I need someone to help me supervise. ”

Hearing Li Xiaoqiang's old-fashioned nickname, Yukari Umezawa "that girl". Coach Wu almost couldn't bear it, but he couldn't care about it so much now, and he said busily:

"Okay, well, what do you ask for, don't hesitate...... By the way, do you need anyone else to help you? ”

"There are no special requirements, just let that girl usually train with the national junior team. There are so many people in our national junior team, and occasionally let Xiaozhu play chess with her, I don't think it will take up a lot of everyone's time, right? My only request is that I hope that Coach Jiang Chenghua from Ganyuan Province will come here to help for a while. ”

Coach Wu is also engaged in teaching Go. He heard Li Xiaoqiang mention Jiang Chenghua's name. He thought for a moment. Then he said to Li Xiaoqiang thoughtfully:

"Xiaoqiang, you are ......"

Li Xiaoqiang interrupted Coach Wu's words, and he said to Coach Wu sincerely:

"Coach Wu, you are also engaged in the work of Go coaching. You also know the difficulties of many grassroots coaches these days. As we all know, it is no longer possible for local Go teams to exist in the form of physical teams. Relying on the society to run Go is almost the only option. To tell you the truth, I also have some of my own understanding and ideas about some methods of teaching Go. However, my method has not been practiced, and I would like to implement it on a small scale in our hometown. That's why I wanted to ask Coach Jiang to come over and help. ”

Li Xiaoqiang said. It is nothing more than a matter of marketization of Go. However, for the term "market economy". It will not become a fashionable term until next year, after his old man's southern tour. Therefore, at this time, Li Xiaoqiang used "relying on the society to do so-and-so" instead. The meaning is actually the same.

In the last decades of China, the teaching model of Go in China has become very mature. In the midst of this. There are quite a few successes. However, Li Xiaoqiang still believes that there are still a lot of deviations in this. The biggest problem is that the competitiveness of Go is overemphasized and the cultural attributes of Go are ignored. This makes Go a lot less fun. It also lost a lot of chess fans.

Li Xiaoqiang has always thought. Go is a game full of fun. The charm of Go is not only determined by its competitiveness. The benefits of Go are not limited to Go masters.

Let more people understand and feel the charm of Go. It can be regarded as another dream of Li Xiaoqiang. To do that, it is useless to rely on just one national team. The foundation for the development of Chinese Go is actually still in various local teams. The key to the local team is the grassroots Go coach or Go teacher.

A few months ago, when Li Xiaoqiang and Xiong Lao chatted, Li Xiaoqiang already had this idea. Li Xiaoqiang believes that with his own "golden signboard", as long as it is operated properly, he does not dare to say it in other places, just in his hometown, Go activities can still be carried out very prosperously. In this way, it can also help Jiang Chenghua and them to "smooth their transformation".

Today, Li Xiaoqiang believes that the time is ripe. Now is the time to put it into practice. So Li Xiaoqiang thought of asking Jiang Chenghua to come to the capital, and there were some details that he also wanted to communicate with the Go coach in his hometown. By the way, I took advantage of this time to instill some of my own ideas in Coach Jiang.

"Xiaoqiang, I support you!"

After hearing Li Xiaoqiang's thoughts, Coach Wu will of course express his support. Because at this time, many local Go teams are facing "transformation". Li Xiaoqiang can take the initiative to do something in this regard. That, of course, is welcomed by management.

Wait for Li Xiaoqiang and Coach Wu to finish talking. The two came to the station of the national junior team together. Now that Li Xiaoqiang has taken over the job of "special training". Coach Wu just gave a brief explanation to the other members of the national junior team, and then went to report to the higher management.

As for Yukari Umezawa, Coach Wu doesn't think he needs to explain anything. What are you kidding, China has sent a world champion as its "head coach". That's high enough, right? That's enough to give Japanese Go face, right? Therefore, Coach Wu does not think that Umezawa will have anything to be dissatisfied with.

After Coach Wu left, Li Xiaoqiang leaned comfortably on the sofa:

"Liu Er, Liu Er, you go and call them all Qi. Let's just say boss, I have something to explain today. Didn't you all be afraid of the coach's discipline before? Now, the boss is giving you a chance to be a coach today. Go and ......."

Just when Li Xiaoqiang was proud, he was ready to live a "head coach" addiction. Li Xiaoqiang found that something was wrong. Because I usually respond to all kinds of calls, no one seems to pay attention to it today. Zhao Dabao and Shao Weigang were talking to each other there. He also pointed at himself from time to time. One by one seems to be very mysterious.

On the other side, Li Xiaoqiang suddenly found that Lin Mengyu and Yukari Umezawa seemed to be "talking happily" there. Because the two of them were a little closer to Li Xiaoqiang, Li Xiaoqiang could still hear a little bit of their chat. If you listen carefully, Li Xiaoqiang even smells a little gunpowder in the air.

“…… You're a high school classmate of Lee Sang, right? You probably don't know, right? I've known Li Sang since I was a kid on the road. I remember the first time he went to Japan to compete, I knew him...... Well, he must have been 11 years old at the time. I remember how cute he looked when he was a kid, and I pinched him once......"

"This dead girl, she's so old, and she still reveals my shortcomings when I was a child. What's even stricter is that he actually revealed it to Lin Mengyu......" At this time, Li Xiaoqiang thought viciously.

"I already knew Xiaoqiang when he was 10 years old. He and I have been classmates for 6 years. Not only that, but he sat behind me all the time. You don't know, he was bad at that time, he often ...... ...... often"

"How often what? ……”

At this time, Li Xiaoqiang and Lin Mengyu glanced at each other. Lin Mengyu's face turned red. She glared at Li Xiaoqiang, and her neck even twisted unnaturally. But at this time, she finally couldn't continue.

Li Xiaoqiang, who was sitting on the sofa, smirked:

"I'm really weird, when I was staring at the back of your head. Actually, I'm unconscious myself. I spend most of my time wandering. But I've never seen you look back, how did you know that? …… Okay now, now the problem is strict. Your unnatural neck twisting action can't be a sequelae left back then......"

"You probably don't know. Professional chess players tend to be lonely because their spiritual world is difficult for outsiders to understand......"

"I know you're here to become a professional chess player. Then we wish you a happy life in China...... By the way, welcome to China......"

"This ...... What kind of mess is this......"

Just when Li Xiaoqiang was a mess. The old class leader Liao Qiong came over, and she smiled and whispered to Li Xiaoqiang:

"Li Xiaoqiang, when the rat stole oil and touched the golden cicada to shed its shell. How are you feeling right now? ”

"......" (To be continued......)
