After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

"Fifty percent winning rate?"

"If there are 100 floors, maybe 50% of them are gone. It's time for the legend to end."

Listening to Hao Qiang reading out the contents of the newspaper, Zhan Lang, who was sitting on the plane, couldn't help but recall the classic lines from his previous life and complained about them.

Zhan Lang does feel a bit speechless. Just extract the keywords, right?

Zhan Lang said that he finally understood how the Japanese media took his words out of context.

Don’t quote out of context. —Excerpt from “Don’t quote out of context”

Hao Qiang felt a little strange when he heard this, and Zhan Lang's answer seemed irrelevant.

So did Zhan Lang say this?

But Hao Qiang was also a little strange. Would Zhan Lang say such a humble thing? It didn't seem like his style.

Generally speaking, although Zhan Lang sometimes makes some outrageous statements, saying something like a 50% probability always feels a bit ridiculous.

Looks crazy, but not cruel enough.

Every time Zhan Lang shows off, he always does it in a very direct way and would never say anything like a 50% probability.

If Zhan Lang really wanted to show off, shouldn't he have said that he would definitely win the championship this time?

I was able to win three games in a row in the last session, so I can also win five games in a row this time. It’s time for Japanese Go to surrender.

So the article should not say 50%, but 100%.

How did Asahi Shimbun deduct 50% of Zhanlang’s winning rate? How can you be a journalist if you can’t even report the whole story?

So Hao Qiang asked uncertainly: "Did you really say that?"

Zhan Lang got anxious when he heard this: "How is this possible! These people are studying journalism!

What I said was that I have at least a 50% chance of winning against everyone, but now it has become a 50% chance of winning the championship.

These reporters are really good at using keywords! They are completely taking things out of context! Can I sue them for defamation and ask them to pay me tens of millions?"

I can show off as I please!
But that requires me to be willing to show off.

You guys are distorting my meaning!
I, Zhan Lang, have never needed anyone to show off for me in my life!
“People who study journalism actually…”

As the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Hao Qiang himself came from a journalism background, and he couldn't help but retort when he heard this.

"Although there is a lot of fake news, journalism is actually a pretty good profession, and it's relatively easy to find a job, and all the jobs that are assigned to you are good ones."

Journalism now still has strong professional barriers, and graduates can work in radio and newspapers.

These two jobs are considered very good jobs now. After all, many engineering students, no matter what high-end university they graduate from, have to work on the front line first.

Unlike a few decades ago, when newspapers as paper media were half-dead, a lot of ace players in the traditional news industry went into business.

After all, in the era of self-media, anyone with a mobile phone is a reporter, and one person can even operate hundreds of marketing accounts.

Family members, who knows?
However, the two did not say more on this topic. Hao Qiang considered it carefully and said, "I think many people will think your words are a bit crazy."

A 50% win rate may not seem like much, and indeed it sounds a bit modest.

But a 50% winning rate after passing four people in a row is different.

Hao Qiang calculated carefully and got a result.

0.8＊0.8＊0.9＊0.9=0.52
If we break it down, what Zhan Lang said is equivalent to saying that he is facing four top-notch players, two of whom have an 80% chance of winning and two of whom have a 90% chance of winning.

To put it bluntly, even if Shen Zi was determined, Ke would never dare to say that he was 90% sure, unless it was in the LG semi-finals.

If you think about it this way, what Zhan Lang said in the media reports does seem a bit crazy.

Of course it’s crazy. Even after this report came out, the entire Japanese Go community was in an uproar.

A 50% winning rate? Did he really think that the four top players were easy prey?
Do you really think that there is no one left in the Go world of Japan?!
Many people even think that this shows Zhan Lang's contempt for the Japanese Go community. Many players said, Zhan Lang, please don't let me meet you on the streets of Tokyo!
Otherwise you will definitely have no juice to eat!

Not only in Tokyo, but also in China, where the news was received, it caused a heated response among the general public.

Many chess fans even started writing letters to the national team, thinking that it was a bit too crazy for Zhan Lang to say he had a 50% chance of winning when he was fighting one against four.
If not, can we really win? To be exact, we are very scared now.

I want the Chinese to win, but I don't dare to hold out any hope. If you have any inside information, please tell us immediately.

Even the top few people called the national team because they couldn't contact Zhan Lang on the plane.

To put it mildly, it is a good thing for young people to be confident, but it is not good to make people feel arrogant.

To be more serious, young people should be told directly that they should be careful about what they say, as being too arrogant is harmful to themselves and others.

After all, Zhan Lang is now playing as a member of the Chinese national team, representing not only himself, but also the honor of the entire country.

If you make harsh words now and fail to fulfill them later, it will not only be a loss of face for yourself.

You must always remember that what you are representing now is not just yourself, but the image of China as a whole.

Even now, the entire Chinese media community is very low-key about the boxing match. If they lose, they are prepared to let it pass calmly and pretend nothing happened.

"The next opponent is Mitsuha Kenichi, right?"

Even while sitting on the plane, Hao Qiang seemed a little anxious. It was something he had already known for a long time, but he asked with some uncertainty.

Zhan Lang couldn't help but shook his head: "Not only that, in the next stage, Mitsuha Kenichi and Toya Masao will come to China together for a total of two games."

These two are exactly the two Japanese deputy marshals of the previous tournament, and they were also victims of the head-shaving incident.

Zhan Lang still remembers that when he first saw the newspaper with the photo of three people with shaved heads, he laughed so hard that he spit out his food.

Zhan Lang even watched the hair on Kenichi Mitsuba and the others grow.

How can I put it? I admire him, but I still have to laugh. You would also want to laugh when you see an acquaintance become bald.

Feeling the turbulence of the plane, Hao Qiang couldn't help but say, "The Japanese side seems to want to end the game with Mitsuha Kenichi. The passing line we set ourselves is to at least get in front of Takemiya Masahiro.

Otherwise, if the Japanese team's boasting comes true, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the next tournament.

In other words, you have to at least win three games in a row like the previous session. As long as you achieve this goal, no one can blame you.

Are you confident? "

Zhanlang’s three consecutive wins in the last session were hailed as a miracle, but the bottom line for this session is to complete the miracle of the previous session.

To some extent, it is already quite embarrassing.

However, Hao Qiang has not yet said the most difficult words in his heart, which is to win this game.

But now Hao Qiang didn't dare to expect victory too much. After all, it was indeed a bit difficult.

However, even if he can achieve three consecutive victories like the last session, Zhan Lang is enough to be admired.

If I can defeat Takemiya Shohei...

Hao Qiang didn't dare to think about it.

If he really beat Takemiya Masahiro, Zhan Lang might be able to win the main battle...

After all, Zhan Lang had said before that Katsuya Takenouchi could handle it himself.

As Hao Qiang was thinking about it, he pinched himself and quickly drove the unrealistic fantasy out of his mind.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. We can’t be too optimistic this time…

With four top-notch players, can another miracle happen?
