After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

After Zhan Lang and his team finished their review, they also conducted a routine interview. After all, there were a bunch of media reporters waiting outside. Even if Zhan Lang wanted to go out the back door, he couldn't because there were also a bunch of people guarding behind him, fearing that he would slip away.

However, the atmosphere of today's interview was unexpectedly good. Not to mention the Chinese reporters on the Japanese side, even the Japanese reporters who were interviewing changed their usual tricky questions and spoke in a soft voice. Many of them even cast admiring glances at Zhan Lang.

However, Zhan Lang didn't feel anything. He just calmly finished the interview and left.

After all, Zhan Lang never felt that he had accomplished anything particularly great. He was just a little happy about winning a game of chess.

And after winning this round, I am only one step away from the final complete victory.

Therefore, all Zhan Lang's thoughts were on the game the day after tomorrow. He did not pay too much attention to other things. Even the change in the reporter's attitude did not concern Zhan Lang at all.

Not only the players from both sides, but also almost all the Japanese chess players present were interviewed by the media, as were the Chinese accompanying personnel.

Hao Qiang smiled when he was interviewed: "I have revised the closing speech for the third time. These three revisions have fully proved that our China-Japan Go Challenge was well organized, and the competition is getting more and more intense and exciting.

I believe that everyone can relate to my feelings. After all, we have been accompanying the Chinese and Japanese sides in this tournament until this moment.

I look forward to the next round of battle between the Chinese and Japanese players, which will push the entire tournament to its climax! I also look forward to welcoming this climax with all Japanese chess fans!
The China-Japan Go Challenge is a bridge for communication between Chinese and Japanese Go players. Regardless of who wins or loses this time, I hope everyone can continue to pay attention to this competition in the next one."

Fujii Hideaki originally wanted to leave quietly, but was stopped by reporters and could only say a few words during the interview.

"I originally thought that we would definitely win the second tournament, and I even thought that it would be Mr. Takemiya who would end the tournament.

Because in my opinion, Takemiya is the best chess player in Japan at this stage. As long as he can give full play to his abilities, no one else should be his opponent, and the same should be true for Chinese chess players.

But now it seems that I have overestimated Wu Gongjun, because today's battle wave was crushed with the strongest attitude, it was a complete victory.

From the review after the match, I have to say something that may make everyone sad. Actually, there was no chance at all..."

"So what do you think about the next game?"

Hearing this, Fujii Hideaki took a deep breath. He knew that there would be reporters waiting for him here.

It's you guys who study journalism that make it difficult for me to go out now.

“The next match is the main battle between Zhan Lang and Katsuya Takenouchi. In fact, many media have interviewed me and asked me to predict the final outcome of the ring match.

But I really don’t dare to make a prediction this time. After I made the prediction last time, I asked Mitsuha and Toya to shave their heads with me. This time, I made Takemiya fail.

I think my greatest help to Japanese Go is to keep my mouth shut about predicting the outcome of the next game."

Although Fujii Hideaki still couldn't believe this strange metaphysics, in order to avoid being blamed, Fujii Hideaki chose to say nothing.

If I just pretend to be dead now, you can't blame me if I lose, right?
After the interview, Zhan Lang went straight back to his residence to rest. He knew that there would definitely be a lot of news coming in, but there was still one last game the day after tomorrow, so Zhan Lang had no choice but to turn a deaf ear to what was happening outside.

No matter what the news is or who it comes from, let's leave it until after the game.

Zhan Lang went back to his room to rest, leaving Hao Qiang outside to receive the bombardment of information from all over the place, and to block all kinds of information. Even though Hao Qiang was in Japan, he received the endless faxes and telegrams from China at the first time.

And one after another, everyone showed their talents and always managed to deliver the news to us as soon as possible.

Some people even directly contacted overseas Chinese in Japan and came to deliver the message in person.

There was a telegram sent from Yunnan with only eight words: "Long live the national hero Zhan Lang!"

After watching this, Hao Qiang couldn't help but joke: "As long as the chess player can win the game, he can enjoy the treatment of "Long Live the Emperor"."

This is indeed the case. As long as you can bring glory to others, others will push you to the highest position, even to the status of God.

If I can't bring it, I'm sorry.

People can be as good to you as they can be bad to you.

"So this is the last battle, and we can't afford to lose."

Hao Qiang couldn't help but sigh. Although he received many letters from people saying that Zhan Lang's victory was inspiring, even if he failed in the end, he was still a national hero in their hearts.

But that being said, everyone is just being polite, it would be bad if you take it seriously, because when the moment of losing the game comes, it’s hard to say how everyone will react.

“Everyone is looking forward to it.”

Fang Yuan couldn't help but shaking his head as he looked at the various messages sent to him. Not only the public, but also the official authorities attached great importance to it.

Last year, there was an essay writing contest for athletes. Fang Yuan and Zhan Lang both wrote an article and submitted it. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is good or not. We all come here to learn sports. How strong can you expect from academic performance?
Anything that Zhan Lang managed casually won an award, which was essentially a reward for outstanding athletes.

However, the original award ceremony planned to present a set of books as prizes to the winners. However, the deputy editor-in-chief in charge of the essay contest and the senior leader of the Literature and Art Department felt that the arrangement was inappropriate after seeing it.

Because right after the award ceremony, Zhan Lang will go to Japan to participate in the most crucial game of the China-Japan Go Challenge. It is always an unlucky thing to lose before such a game.

So after everyone discussed it, they revised the plan and changed the gift of books to presenting a cloisonné cup to each winner, implying that everyone could get a trophy.

Because this kind of thing is somewhat superstitious, no one tells anyone about it, and very few people know about it.

However, it is not difficult to see how important this competition is in the country just from the action of directly replacing the prize in order not to leave any negative psychological hint to Zhan Lang.

Everyone is looking forward to Zhan Lang's final victory.

PS: Today's women's world championship was not very good. It is hard to expect Da Zhuang to win the championship in this round-robin tournament. At least he can get the runner-up...
