Chapter 417 The Final Sprint

"The new king ascended the throne! The era of Li Xiangping is officially coming."

"In the just-concluded "Chunlan Cup" final, Li Xiangping defeated Chang Hao and won the championship in the ninth dan. The author believes that this is actually a sign, marking the official entry of the world chess world into the Li Xiangping era..."

After the game with Chang Hao, Li Xiangping did not return to the capital immediately because there was another AFC match next. Li Xiangping's team played against the Yunnan Provincial Team, and this time it was the home court of the Yunnan Provincial Team, so Li Xiangping and several Go reporters directly transferred to Kunming, Chuncheng.

Well, this is actually an irrelevant game, because so far, the team where Li Xiangping is in has no worries about relegation and has no hope of winning the championship. Not only them, but also their opponents, the situation is similar to theirs. Then, if you play such a chess, of course, it will be very easy and there will be no pressure on any results.

It is precisely because of this reason that during the journey, everyone's topic is still at the just-concluded "Chunlan Cup".

"I'm a little confused. Why did I officially ascend the throne after defeating Brother Chang? Are my previous winning chess unofficial?"

After hearing Li Xiangping say this, the reporters who went with him laughed. Old Jia from the West China News Agency said with a smile:

"Of course, it's formal to win, but the problem now is that you have won a lot of them, so many of them are so many that we can't find the right words, so there is no way, so we are forced to find such a gimmick."

"Why is Brother Ying Chang a gimmick?"

"Who made you an outsider in the civil war in the past?" Xie reporter from the "Sports World" further explained:

"Xiangping, don't forget, because you had such an attribute in the past, well, this is also a weakness of yours, so even if we wanted to praise it, we were actually a little unwilling to let go. Now, you won the "Celebrity War" challenge right this year, and you were already 2-0 ahead of Ma Xiao in the final. It can be said that you have won the first big title in China. In addition, this time you beat Chang Hao, so we think that you have officially removed this hat now. Since you have officially removed the hat, of course you will be considered as officially ascending the throne."

"Hahaha."

After hearing Lao Xie's words, Li Xiangping smirked. Of course, he could only smile foolishly at this time, because Lao Xie's words were very reasonable no matter how you heard it. At least Li Xiangping thought it was very reasonable, which made him speechless for a moment, so he accepted this statement.

However, at the moment of accepting this statement, Li Xiangping was actually a little stressed. After all, his family knew his family affairs. So far, he did not have a world champion who truly belonged to him. However, in the eyes of outsiders, he has now considered a formal "new king ascended the throne".

So there is nothing to say. Generally speaking, people who want a little bit of face will definitely feel a little pressure when facing such a contrast.

Is Li Xiangping a shameless person? Of course he is, not only now, but even as a playboy in his previous life, being a shameful and having good face is his way of survival. Then, in the face of this situation, it is of course very normal for him to feel a little pressure.

But Li Xiangping's pressure just flashed away, of course, this is not his sudden shamelessness. The most important reason is that he has been winning chess recently.

Whether it is his own winning chess or the chess that Lao Shi helped him win, in fact, this kind of constant victory goes from one victory to another, which is the easiest way to give people confidence.

For example, Li Xiangping is like this now. He is now in a state of full of confidence. Recently, one victory after another, and the successive successes have greatly enhanced Li Xiangping's confidence.

Well, although it cannot be said that it has reached the level of "So-So-So-So-So-So-So-I Have in the World", now, Li Xiangping's personal confidence has been greatly improved. He will no longer be afraid of any human chess player. This is a fact. Under the influence of this mentality, the pressure just now will naturally disappear soon.

After chatting about the topic of "official ascending the throne", several Go reporters naturally mentioned a bigger gimmick, which is nothing else, that is, the "Golden Slam" that everyone has mentioned since last year.

The reporter Zhang Da from "Go World" said first: "Xiangping, there are only those two games next this year, and the focus of the entire Go world is on those two finals. This time, it is a coincidence that they will face Li Li, a big and small person, each time. How about it, they should be able to win this year, right?"

Li Xiangping smiled: "Haha."

Seeing that Li Xiangping did not give a positive response, the reporters refused:

"What does Xiangping mean by "hehe"?"

Seeing that everyone insisted on answering themselves, Li Xiangping smiled and said:

"How do you ask me to answer this? If I say that I will take them again, it will be fine. Isn't it a bit too arrogant to say this? I am afraid that the wind will flash my tongue. If I don't have confidence now, then you guys will say that I am hypocritical. Since it's not true, I will of course only "hehe"."

"Ha ha ha ha."

After hearing Li Xiangping's words, all the reporters laughed. After laughing, everyone sighed again, feeling that Li Xiangping is like an old man now, and his usual words and behaviors are no longer like a young man under 17 years old.

But after talking about this topic, Lao Jia from the West China News Agency helped Li Xiangping defend himself. He said that if a person can achieve such achievements at this age, for example, if Li Xiangping now has 6 world champions, then even the younger one can mature quickly.

"Overall, I think that with our Xiangping's personality, it's better than Korean Dali,"

In order to illustrate that Li Xiangping's "better personality", Lao Jia also gave an example of Da Li back then.

Da Li became famous at a young age. He won his first domestic championship at the age of 13 and won his first world championship at the age of 16. Under Li Xiangping's current support, his achievements are certainly not very conspicuous. However, in that year, this was the only one in the Go world at that time.

Lao Jia said that when Da Li became famous, Da Li was particularly unwilling to go out for dinner with other professional chess players. There is no reason, because the entire Korean society is relatively strict and it is particularly important to be orderly in the old age. For example, if a chess player gathers like this, under normal circumstances, the oldest chess player must pay the bill.

However, in that year, the entire Korean chess world was ruled by Da Li Lao Cao and others, especially Da Li, who ranked first in the prize list of Korean chess players for more than 10 consecutive years. In this case, he would of course easily fall into the embarrassment of paying.

In fact, it is precisely to avoid this embarrassment that Da Li rarely interacts with other chess players. Over time, it makes people feel that he is a little unsociable and even looks a little withdrawn.

"Ha ha ha ha."

After hearing Lao Jia's words, Li Xiangping suddenly burst out laughing, and everyone asked him what he was laughing at:

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "I don't know if Big Li is introverted. But since Teacher Jia said that my personality is better than him, I can hear the meaning of it. Tell me, what do you want to eat now? I'll treat all this meal."

Amid everyone's laughter, Chuncheng Kunming has arrived, and of course there is nothing to say about the next game. Li Xiangping met Ding Wei, the current main player of the Yunnan Provincial Team, this time.

Taking advantage of the recent winning streak, Li Xiangping finally laughed at this game.

With the end of this game, all the "Eslides" of this year have ended. Of course, there is nothing to say about the group results, but with the winning rate of this last game, Li Xiangping's personal winning rate has increased to more than 70%.

Compared with less than 50% last year, such progress is of course a great deal. It is precisely because of this progress that he can now officially take off the hat of "amateur civil war".

At least these domestic Go reporters are preparing to take off this hat for him.

After the End of the League, of course, it will enter the final sprint stage of the entire season. As the match day approaches, the "Samsung Cup" final against Li in December and the final against Li Li in early February. This not only attracts attention from the entire Go world, but also because Li Xiangping's record looks a bit too shocking, many people who don't understand Go at all are also excited to know what will happen next.

This time it was Li Li who was ahead. In mid-December, Li Xiangping went to South Korea again to participate in the final of this year's "Samsung Cup".
