Chapter 708 Waiting for the Dragon Flying Tiger
Shortly after the Spring Festival in 2000, Li Xiaoqiang led "Chen Xiaoqiang" to Shencheng to participate in the annual Go section-setting competition known as the "Go College Entrance Examination".
Of course, Li Xiaoqiang did not simply accompany Chen Xiaoqiang, he also had competition tasks. This year coincides with the Olympic Year, and the 4th "Yingshi Cup" will start this year. And it is not only the "Yingshi Cup", but also the news came from the Japanese side. It is said that Toyota is interested in hosting a brand new world competition.
If the "Toyota Cup" can be founded this year, then the international arena will be extremely lively this year. Li Xiaoqiang came to Shanghai to participate in this year's first international event: the final stage of the Three Kingdoms Arena Competition, which has been renamed "Nongxin Cup".
Although there is a competition task, Li Xiaoqiang is more relaxed to come to Shencheng this time. In the first two stages of the "Nongxin Cup", Chinese chess players performed well. Compared with the competition, China has three generals, Chang Rensheng, Ma Xiaofei and Li Xiaoqiang. The Korean team left Cao Li's master and apprentice, while the Japanese team only left Ida Kiki.
The first game of this stage is Chang Rensheng defending the ring, and South Korea Cao Yanzi attacks the ring. Therefore, unless there is an extreme situation, such as Lao Cao rushing directly to Li Xiaoqiang's account, Li Xiaoqiang will only have one game of chess at most this time. If Chang Ma and the other two perform well, it is possible that Li Xiaoqiang does not have to play.
It is said that the two major events are held in Shanghai at the same time, so everyone should have a lot of topics. But it seems that this is not what everyone is interested in. When Li Xiaoqiang led Chen Xiaoqiang to the rank competition venue, the first thing Zhang Da reporter said when he saw Li Xiaoqiang was:
"What? I heard you were chopped by a mysterious master online? It is said that you were chopped 6 times in a row. Is it so exaggerated?"
Li Xiaoqiang smiled: "It's not wrong to say that he was cut six times, but he scored the first four games, and I scored the second one..."
Li Xiaoqiang talked about the fact that he encountered "long Feihu" at night. After Chen Xiaoqiang lost four consecutive games, Li Xiaoqiang personally went on the battlefield and practiced 2 15-second fast chess with "long Feihu". As a result, the latter two games also ended with "long Feihu" winning.
"It would be quite amazing to be able to win you two sets in a row. Who is that guy? How could he be so powerful?"
The result is still "Chen Xiaoqiang" is more honest:
"No, the next two games were originally the master's advantage, but I was continuing the game later..."
Li Xiaoqiang interrupted "Chen Xiaoqiang" with a smile:
"If you lose, you lose. We don't have to make other excuses..."
What Chen Xiaoqiang said was true. At that time, it was the end of the year when the two chess games were playing. There were already many things in the end of the year. It happened that Li Xiaoqiang kept calling during the two chess games. There were particularly a few more important calls that had to be answered. Li Xiaoqiang had to ask "Chen Xiaoqiang" to help him temporarily.
You should know that the 15-second fast chess match is the feeling of chess, and the most taboo thing about chess is to be interrupted. Li Xiaoqiang lost the two games of chess at that time in such a situation.
It was just two games of online chess, and Li Xiaoqiang himself didn't take it seriously, but after coming here this time, Li Xiaoqiang found something was wrong. When he heard the two talk about "Dragon and Flying Tiger", more and more reporters and chess players were around Li Xiaoqiang.
"What's going on here? That's just two games of online chess. You're not really that interested..."
"Of course..." A reporter who had just surrounded him said with a smile:
"...Xiaoqiang, you don't know how sensational this matter is now. Li Xiaoqiang, who is already invincible in the real world, actually met a mysterious master on the Internet. Now there are all things on the Internet, and many people don't believe it is true. Xiaoqiang Wang wants to confirm with you again. Did you really play the next two games yourself?"
After receiving the affirmative answer, everyone seemed even more excited and immediately started a discussion on the spot.
Li Xiaoqiang was a little amused.
In real history, did "Dragon and Flying Tiger" become famous by killing Luo Shen Pig four times in a row? Why does the current situation seem to be a little wrong? Could "Dragon and Flying Tiger" become famous by killing "evil gentleman" six times in a row?
"Xiaoqiang, how do you feel about that guy named "Long Feihu"?...Hey, why are you distracted again..."
Of course, Li Xiaoqiang was distracted because in the crowd, Li Xiaoqiang saw the "Dragon and Flying Tiger" himself, and this guy was hiding in the crowd and laughing.
"Dragon Flying Tiger" is Ding Wei's eighth dan in the "Eight Horses", which many people know in later generations. However, at that time, "Dragon Flying Tiger" was one of the most mysterious figures on the Internet. Ding Wei was able to keep this secret for 7 or 8 years, and you can imagine how calm this person's personality is. Ding Wei is still a member of the national team, but he is the pillar of the Yunnan Provincial Go team. He stayed in his hometown for more than half a year. This time he appeared in Shencheng and led several Yunnan Provincial children to participate in the final competition.
Li Xiaoqiang remembers that in real history, the "Five Ring Night Talk" of the Sports Channel of the imperial court specially made a program called "Waiting for Dragon and Flying Tiger". As a result, on TV, Shao Weigang and Luo Shenzhu waited foolishly for more than an hour, but Ding Wei did not show up.
However, Li Xiaoqiang believed that the reason why the "Dragon and Flying Tiger" in his previous life caused such a sensation was also related to the objective environment of Chinese Go at that time.
When the "Dragon and Flying Tiger" emerged, it happened that Chinese Go was overwhelmed by Korean Go. From professional players to ordinary fans, they had an inexplicable sense of despair when facing the powerful Korean Go.
In the hearts of every Chinese, there is a deep idea of "a master among the people".
Whether it is an expectation or a good wish, "waiting for dragons and flying tigers" is actually like waiting for the savior of Chinese Go.
However, in this life, the overall environment of Chinese Go has been completely different. Due to Li Xiaoqiang's strength, Chinese Go no longer needs any savior. Therefore, the meaning of "waiting for dragons and flying tigers" is that everyone is very curious that there are people who can defeat Li Xiaoqiang in succession.
In this way, the atmosphere of the entire incident is undoubtedly much easier.
"This Long Feihu must be a professional chess player, there is no doubt about this. And judging from the level he performed in his two chess games, he should definitely be the top ten experts in the domestic rankings. Even if he relaxed a little, he would never fall behind 15th. I am extremely confident about this."
In the crowd, Li Xiaoqiang was enthusiastically pretending to be a charlatan. Although Li Xiaoqiang knew who the "Long Feihu" was, he could keep it secret for 7 or 8 years, so he could not reveal his identity at this time. However, after seeing the "Long Feihu" on the scene, Li Xiaoqiang's "Go to the Lord" attacked. He said that "Long Feihu" ranks in the top 15 in China, which is actually to help reporters narrow the scope and facilitate reporters to investigate.
After hearing Li Xiaoqiang's words, the others didn't feel anything. Ding Wei in the crowd secretly admired him. He thought to himself that the boss's judgment was really accurate, because Ding Wei's current rank is ranked 9th in China.
"And I'm sure that this Long Feihu is not too old, and the most likely is that he is about the same age as me. You can search according to this range and ensure that you can catch this guy."
If the "top 15" in the previous article is quite general, then Li Xiaoqiang's judgment is a bit magical, full of a strong charlatan. This is almost a master reporter, and "Long Feihu" must be one of the "Eight Horses".
"You can know their age by playing two games? Xiaoqiang, you are not that amazing, right?"
The first to question Li Xiaoqiang was reporter Zhang Da.
"Of course you can see people through chess..." Li Xiaoqiang smiled and said his reasons:
"... Everyone should know that we played super fast chess that day with 15 seconds. When we were playing chess, I knew that today's opponent should not be an old comrade, and the old comrade's reaction should not be that fast. Later, when we were playing chess halfway through chess, I found that the opponent not only reacted very quickly, but also experienced in playing chess. Therefore, I vaguely guessed that this "Long Feihu" would not be a young chess player like Gu Dali, because Gu Dali and his friends' chess now are not as experienced in my opponent that day. Think about it, if you can take into account both the responsiveness and the skillful chess, should this be a chess player of our age group?"
Whether others believe it or not, the "Long Feihu" at this time admired Li Xiaoqiang so much that he thought to himself that the boss is too awesome, right? He could see so many things through just two super fast games. It's really worthy of being the best chess player in the world today.
"Long Feihu" could not stay any longer, so he began to retreat secretly. He was worried that if Li Xiaoqiang continued to analyze, he might have to pull himself out in person.
Looking at the figure of "Dragon and Flying Tiger" running away in panic, Li Xiaoqiang smiled and let the reporter ask him to reveal more information later, but Li Xiaoqiang was not willing to continue speaking.
A few days before Li Xiaoqiang arrived in Shanghai, whether it was the fixed-segment stadium or the "Nongxin Cup" stadium, a large part of everyone's topics revolved around "Dragon and Flying Tiger".
The "Long Feihu incident" even alarmed Japanese and Korean chess players. Even Li Shifo privately pulled Li Xiaoqiang to ask, who might this "Long Feihu" be?
At the beginning, Li Xiaoqiang was still running at both ends of the two stadiums, but as the "Nongxin Cup" gradually improved, Li Xiaoqiang gradually stayed in the "Nongxin Cup" stadium.
At present, three final stages of the "Nongxin Cup" have been completed. After Cao Yanzi defeated Chang Rensheng, he lost to Japanese coach Ida Kiki. Then Chinese deputy coach Ma Xiaofei came on the court to knock Ida Kiki down.
The Japanese team was eliminated first, and the Chinese team faced a favorable situation of 2-to-1. Considering that Ma Xiaofei's record against Li Shifo has always been poor, Li Xiaoqiang is ready to play at any time.
"Hehe, the guardian god of Nongxin? Can you still get this title in this life..." (To be continued.)
