Go: I’m 50-50 against the AI

Chapter 271 270. Clothes

After dinner, Ying Jie finally met reporters at the exit of the International Zone of the Athletes Village.

Ying Jie was a little surprised. The person who came to interview him today was actually Hao Sangsang, who had interviewed Ying Jie several times before.

It is said that he went to the main station before, so Ying Jie didn't see him for a long time, but he didn't expect him to appear here.

Is this my own coffee position enough?

Hao Sangsang seemed to see Ying Jie's doubts and said with a smile: "The Asian Games is the biggest news in China during this period. A bunch of our colleagues and I are here on official business to capture the latest news information.

It was originally someone else who came, but I know you well, so I volunteered to come. "

"Oh, that's how it is."

After the two exchanged a simple greeting, Hao Sangsang took Ying Jie to the previously arranged place and began the interview.

"You're dressed in a special way today. Are you wearing this specifically for the interview?"

After Hao Sangsang went to the main station, his abilities seemed to have improved a lot. He first started to find topics on Ying Jie's clothes.

Today, Ying Jie is wearing the award-winning uniform of the Chinese delegation, which is one of the uniforms uniformly produced for the Asian Games.

With their red and white colors, they look like members of the Chinese team.

"No, Lu Li 9th Dan said that when you come here, you should have a certain appearance. At least you can look like we are Chinese, so I put on this iconic clothes."

Hearing this, Hao Sangsang smiled and said: "I thought that based on your personality, you would wear this dress to prove to the audience that you would definitely wear this dress to win the award."

"Actually, winning medals is not a big problem. The problem is that our goal is the gold medal. How to get the gold medal is our goal.

Go itself is a relatively niche and less competitive sport. The powerful countries are China, Japan and South Korea. If we cannot win the gold medal under this kind of competitive pressure, it will be difficult for us to come to Taiwan. "

The meaning of Ying Jie's words is very simple. The gold medal is the goal, and neither the silver medal nor the bronze medal is valued.

If you get a silver medal or a bronze medal, you are already considered a failure.

"But when you talk about this dress, this dress really inspired us a lot.

Because the Go team does not have special unified competition uniforms, we will most likely wear this award-winning uniform when we compete.

According to Lu Li's 9th Dan, this is a good start.

However, it’s more of a responsibility. I’ve already put on my award-winning uniform during the competition, and it will be embarrassing if I can’t get on stage. "

Ying Jie chose a more comfortable position, adjusted his sitting posture and said with a smile.

Although Ying Jie had put forward a lot of opinions before the competition, Ying Jie never expected that the higher-ups had not prepared uniform competition uniforms.

Even if Go couldn't get sponsorship, it wouldn't be like this.

But in an important competition like the Asian Games, you can't just wear casual clothes.

If it were an individual competition and there was no requirement to wear formal attire, Ying Jie would casually be prepared to wear a big kucha.

Anyway, when it comes to playing chess, you have to make yourself comfortable. Wearing comfortable clothes can also make you feel better and show more strength.

But competitions like the Asian Games obviously have dress requirements, and they are not just ordinary formal wear.

If Ying Jie enters the stage wearing a big sweatshirt, he will be dragged off and put into solitary confinement before he even gets on stage.

But because of the requirement and lack of clothes, Ying Jie and the others had no choice but to wear award uniforms to compete.

"I see. How do you feel about your first day here?"

“Well, the first thing I felt after getting off the plane was that it was hot, very hot.

It’s really hot in Guangzhou in September! Now I feel like I'm going to die without air conditioning.

We had better luck playing indoors, so I feel very lucky.

If we talk about the first impression of this place, it is that as a Go player, it is the first time to participate in such a big sports meeting, which is very novel.

Compared to other sports, this is a first for Go.

And the food here is really good, nothing to say, very good.

However, since it is a buffet, including late-night snacks, you may have to pay a little attention to your weight. Although playing chess does consume a lot of energy, it is easy to exceed the caloric limit.

The food here is much better than the canteen in our chess academy. Many team members said they were grateful for my suggestion, which allowed them to eat good food in advance. "

After Ying Jie went to the cafeteria, he found that the food at the Asian Games was really not that good.

From Chinese food to various national cuisines, Western food, barbecue, vegetable salads, sushi, and all-season fruits, there is a wide variety of food for you to choose from.

Even for Korean classic delicacies, the side dishes section is basically full.

Including food that suits the tastes and traditions of various countries, basically everything is available.

Anyway, Ying Jie saw athletes from a certain country frantically running in and out of the fruit area and ate the fruit directly for dinner.

"Did you just say thank you for your proposal?"

"Oh, according to the original arrangement, we were supposed to enter the village here some time before the game.

For example, the mixed doubles competition I participated in was ahead of other team competitions, so I had to arrive in Guangzhou before other team members.

Members of other team competitions do not need to come in advance at this time if they are not competing. They only need to arrive two days in advance before the events they participate in.

But I think that such a separation is not conducive to preparation. Although the team competition is fought independently, it is also very important for the cooperation between each team member to help maintain the state.

Not to mention that the Korean team itself will arrive in advance to prepare collectively. At our home court, we cannot be lax.

So I suggested that our delegation could enter the Asian Games Village in advance together.

One is to get familiar with the environment in advance, and the other is to train with each other and maintain competition status.

Then this suggestion was adopted by the superiors, and we came to the Asian Games Village a few days in advance to prepare for the competition in advance. "

"The first thing to start is the mixed doubles competition between you and Meng Yu.

If I remember correctly, she got married in the same year as you. It was with this consideration in mind that she made you two partners. "

“As far as partners are concerned, Meng Yu and I are definitely the best partners among Chinese female chess players.

Compared with other female chess players, she is the one who knows my chess best. The mixed doubles test not only tests the strength, but also the tacit understanding of a partner.

Therefore, South Korea’s Gao Yongha did not participate in this mixed doubles.

Because the female professional chess player who was originally partnered with him focused more on the women's team competition and did not participate in the mixed doubles, so he did not participate either.

In terms of tacit understanding, I think it's pretty good. We basically train together every day, so it should be about the same.

In mixed doubles, you definitely want to win a gold medal, and a good start is very important. "
