After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 231 230. You still have to rely on me
In August 1985, the twelfth game of the China-Japan Go Tournament was held in the capital of China.

The current score is 6-5, which is the second time Japan has taken the lead since the start of the game. A sad mood has begun to spread among these chess fans who are paying attention to Chinese Go for the first time.

I originally thought that the situation was favorable, but it turned out to be unfavorable for some reason, and the opponent directly pushed to the crystal.

So now everyone is looking forward to the fact that one of the few nine-dan chess players from China, deputy commander Wu Yuanmin, can snipe Sanye Kenichi at the last minute.

If he can't stop Kenichi Mitsuba, then the Chinese Go team will be in real danger of death.

No, there is no chance of survival.

Who can stop the unstoppable Japanese top-notch team?
"A top-notch chess player is unbeatable?"

"Super-class chess player wins the game!" 》

This was the headline of the news in Chinese and Japanese media before Kenichi Mitsuha came to China for the competition.

The Chinese media had to ask, could it be that all Chinese Go players put together are not as good as one top-notch Japanese Go player? Can one top-notch Japanese player destroy an entire country? Then what is the meaning of the entire Chinese Go community? Is there no Chinese person who can stop him? !
The Japanese media were very proud and said with certainty that the top Japanese players could not defeat them! No matter how well you performed before, you are nothing in front of the top Japanese players. They completely forgot that a few months ago they were still exaggerating the Japanese Go pill, and the Japanese Go world has begun to shake.

After Fang Yuan's five consecutive victories, even the most pessimistic predictions believe that when the Chinese team plays Zhan Lang, old man Fujii Hideaki will have to show up.

But no one expected that Kenichi Mitsuba would be able to win five consecutive games with such great success. The sixth game was even in progress. Wu Yuanmin, the 9th dan, was alone in the whole game and was completely no match for his opponent. The outcome might have been decided now.

Kenichi Mitsuba single-handedly defeated the entire Chinese team.

To put it bluntly, this is a fatal blow to the confidence of the entire Chinese team.

It even brought a torrential rain to the Chinese Go world that had been ignited with a raging fire. Not to mention the sparks, even the firewood was washed away to who knows where.

Now even Hao Qiang, who was the most optimistic before, was smoking and not talking in the discussion room, because there was really nothing to say.

It seemed that everyone had already determined that the Chinese team was doomed to fail with the loss of deputy coach Wu Yuanmin.

There is no way. Zhan Lang now has to face the powerful and rising Kenichi Mitsuba, another top-notch Toya Masao who is eyeing him covetously from behind, and finally Fujii Hideaki who seems to be symbolic but is actually still very powerful.

At this point, with three top-notch Japanese players looking down on the lone Chinese general, not many people believe that China can make a comeback, and a pessimistic atmosphere permeates the Chinese chess community both inside and outside.

Can you win?
It's very difficult.

Now the final goal is to hope that Zhan Lang can stop Sanye Kenichi's winning streak and win the last face and self-esteem for Chinese Go.

It will not be possible for the entire country to be destroyed by one person.

"Even gods can't save us."

Zhan Lang, who was looking at the content of the twelfth game on the chessboard in the game room, couldn't help but shook his head.

The current situation is hopeless even if we replace it with artificial intelligence.

In this game of Kung Fu chess, Kenichi Mitsuba always kept a firm grasp of the rhythm, and Wu Jiudan was directly defeated.

Wait for death, goodbye.

After hearing Zhan Lang's words, the atmosphere in the chess viewing room suddenly froze.

Although everyone already knew the result, the atmosphere was still unusually tense when the death sentence was actually announced.

No one knows which is the best first sentence to say, as everyone is afraid of saying something wrong.

Apart from the staff, only Kenichi Mitsuha was present from the Japanese side this time, so there were only members of the Chinese team in the viewing room.

Kenichi Mitsuba is like a mountain. With his strength alone, he has suffocated the entire Chinese Go community.

It also left everyone present speechless.

Zhan Lang is naturally the one who is under the most pressure now, because the popularity of the China-Japan Go Challenge has reached an unprecedented level.

As the last hope, he has become the focus of attention.

How hot is it? Is it exaggerated?

It is indeed exaggerated, it can be said to be too exaggerated!

Numbers 1, 2, and 3 all called to greet Zhan Lang. Even Comrade Taizong said that he had watched the live broadcast of the ring match and hoped that he could work hard and perform at his best. Numbers 2 and 3 also gave Zhan Lang some gifts and said that they hoped Zhan Lang would exercise more to relax.

These people have directly intervened and relaxed, and you can tell what kind of heat and level this competition has reached.

And it's not just these people. Anyone with a little bit of status all knows about this competition and even pays attention to it.

If Zhan Lang's father wasn't Zhan Lang's biological father, calls of his level would not be able to get through to Zhan Lang, because there were just too many calls, and Zhan Lang couldn't be on the phone every day.

In a sense, because Fang Yuan's move aroused national sentiment, everyone had great expectations for this competition.

But things suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, and Chinese Go has, to some extent, faced a situation where it is difficult to back down.

Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you feel you are about to win, and have almost destroyed the opponent's towers. Then you carry them all by yourself, give you a wake-up call, and push directly to your crystal fountain, telling you that you are actually trash.

The most despairing thing is the disillusionment after hope is gained.

Seeing the current situation, it was impossible not to speak up. Fang Yuan was the first to speak, and the people present began to share the blame. Fang Yuan said that he was not well prepared, and if he had not let Sanye Jianyi do it for the first time, it would not be like this now.

Others said that they failed to stop the opponent, but instead made the opponent more and more powerful.

Basically all the players of the Chinese team who participated in the competition spoke up and said that they were responsible and that there was really no point in saying anything on their side.

In the end, Zhan Lang was the only one from the Chinese team who did not speak.

Hao Qiang saw Zhan Lang closing his eyes and not saying a word, and wondered if he was also affected by the recent pessimism.

After all, if it were according to Zhan Lang’s original personality, he would say no matter what, I will definitely win, what is there to be afraid of, I will win anyway.

But now he is completely silent.

Hao Qiang was also worried that Zhan Lang would be frightened by the opponent's momentum and lose confidence. In that case, there would be no hope at all.

There is no way, Kenichi Mitsuba's momentum is too terrifying, and his six consecutive victories are unstoppable.

The Chinese team was like a Beijing candied haws, with Kenichi Sanye using a stick to string six hawthorns together, and was about to string the seventh one.

It really became a candied haws...

Hao Qiang wanted to stand up and say something harsh to stimulate Zhan Lang and inspire his fighting spirit.

But just as Hao Qiang stood up, he saw Zhan Lang who also stood up. They looked at each other and thought that the other was going to go up to speak, and then they sat down immediately.

After seeing the other person sit down, he thought that the other person wanted to let him sit down, so he stood up again.

After the two of them sat down and stood up twice, the whole discussion room couldn't help laughing.

Even the somewhat sad atmosphere was slightly eased.

"Editor Hao, please stop getting up. If you keep doing this, my butt will hurt."

Zhan Lang quickly stood up and held Hao Qiang back: "I think according to the order, shouldn't I be the last one to speak? Why are you trying to grab it from me?

It's not your turn to bear the blame, and of course it's not my turn either. I have no intention of bearing the blame."

"Then tell me."

"Okay, then I'll just say a few simple words.

Everyone does feel that the situation is not optimistic now. We have gained a lot of advantages before, and we suddenly turned from the theory of inevitable defeat to the theory of quick victory. Even everyone was feeling very high. But now we are falling from the sky all of a sudden, and it must be very painful to fall on our buttocks.

At first, we felt that there were so many of us that we might kill the others. But after two people were killed, we began to worry that we might not be able to kill them, so we started to feel hesitant again.

To be honest, although Kenichi Mitsuba is very powerful, he is not so scary. He is more of a suppressor of us in terms of momentum.

Of course, the same was true for the Chinese team in front of us. We also suppressed the opponent in momentum and won a lot of games. Now we can say that we have fought back in the end.

But it doesn’t matter. When we were having dinner and chatting during the competition some time ago, a reporter asked us what we thought about the prospects of the China-Japan Go Challenge.

It was the height of the competition at that time, and you were all still being modest and saying what was hard to say, but I was the only one who said that the Chinese team would definitely win.

Now the situation has reversed, your attitude has changed, but mine has not changed, I still say that the Chinese team will win. "

“Because this is a ring match, and I’m here.

As long as I don't fall, the Chinese team will not fall.

And I will never fall.

So you guys are taking the blame too early. If I win, you won’t have any more blame to share.”

After saying that, Zhan Lang immediately stood up and left, because news had come from outside that Wu Yuanmin, the 9th dan, had resigned.

Zhan Lang, who had just walked out of the room, was stopped by Japanese reporters who had been waiting for him.

"Zhan Lang, 9th Dan, as the head coach, you said a few months ago that the Chinese team would win. Now you are the only one left. How do you feel now?"

Looking at the Japanese reporter who was asking the question, Zhan Lang just opened the fan in his hand and said, "Please tell Fujii Hideaki, the 9th Dan who didn't come this time, that he has to come next time.

In the end, you still have to rely on me!"
