The battle between Ji Xiuwen and Nie Weiping is said to have alarmed many bigwigs. All the media and Go masters came here one after another after hearing the news. Everyone wanted to witness this 15-year-old genius "Little Sick Fairy" with their own eyes. , and the anti-Japanese hero "Chess Master" what kind of sparks will there be?

However, the trend of this chess game was beyond everyone's expectations. Ji Xiuwen actually took the lead all the way, while the "Chess Master" who was supposed to have the upper hand was always at a disadvantage. The child who was sick and coughed from time to time interrupted with a machine-like calmness and calculation.

Lao Nie even coughed worse than Ji Xiuwen when he went down to the back, but seeing that Ji Xiuwen, who was leading the way, was about to cut off all of Lao Nie's lives, he actually made a big spoon in the 165th hand.

In Go terminology, this means making a huge mistake. Ji Xiuwen made a mistake, and the situation of the whole game was instantly reversed.

Although the chess master was already sweating profusely from playing, he caught Ji Xiuwen's low-level mistake and finally staged a shocking comeback!

However, in the eyes of the onlookers, this unparalleled battle is very interesting. Ji Xiuwen leads the way, as calm as a rock all the way. His calculation is so good and the layout is so good that Lao Nie is almost on the oxygen machine. .

But when his opponent was already in a desperate situation, he suddenly hit a spoon inexplicably, ruining the victory that was almost a foregone conclusion.

What else can everyone say at this time, I can only use "sensible" to praise, and Ji Xiuwen's sensibleness also bought himself the last spot to go to Japan.

What Wu Jie is interested in at this time is, what position will the Chinese team let Ji Xiuwen play in Japan?

First striker?

The finale lieutenant?

Or the last lead?

4 Chapter Sixty Three Immortals

Wu Jie feels that Ji Xiuwen's current nickname is very hip, but it is not realistic to choose his own nickname at this age. In fact, he even relied on external force to join the Chinese Go team.

Lao Nie didn't have a good opinion of Ji Xiuwen. Although he won that match, no matter how embarrassing the process was, his majestic "chess master" couldn't easily defeat a kid under 16 years old. That's embarrassing enough.

This time Ji Xiuwen was able to catch the last train to Japan, mainly because he signed a contract with the "Umbrella Company". In addition, Shen Lang somehow got to know Ji Xiuwen, so that he could get a ticket to Japan.

This year's "China-Japan Go Challenge Tournament" is the third time. The first time was held by both sides. The last time it was held entirely in China, so this time it will naturally be transferred to Japan.

The Chinese Go team sent 9 players to Japan. This number was determined after discussion between the two sides, so whoever gets 9 points first will win.

The rules used this time were also discussed in advance by the two parties. In the end, it was decided to use the first eight single-game decisive games, and the decisive game between the main general and the main general was changed to Sanfanqi (two out of three games) decisive games.

Others are similar to the previous session, except that there is an additional one-hour time limit for each party, that is, each party has two hours of free time, and must make a move within 30 seconds after exceeding.

This rule is very unfavorable to the Chinese team. Even though China won the previous two group arenas, Chinese Go is still at a disadvantage compared to Japan.

At this time, in addition to Lao Nie, Jiang Zhujiu, Liu Xiaoguang, Cao Dayuan, Ma Xiaochun and others in Chinese Go had little chance of winning against Japan's super masters.

In the previous two "Sino-Japanese Go Challenge", except for Jiang Zhujiu who staged five consecutive cuts in the first round, the Japanese team actually lost to Lao Nie who was the last to hold the battle. In the second round, the team was basically led by the old Nie Shannuo, and finally saved the Chinese team in the desperate situation of [-]v[-].

But apart from Lao Nie, only Jiang Zhujiu performed superbly in the first competition, but he did not make any outstanding performance after only one year of glory, and he failed to win any world championship. a victory.

This time, the number of players from both sides reached 9, so it is conceivable that the Japanese team, which has higher overall strength and more top players, naturally took advantage of it.

Wu Jie, a layman, knows what little Japan is planning. They must want to kill all the top eight members of the Chinese team with the smallest loss, so that Lao Nie can be caught in a wheel battle.

This time the final battle of the main generals will be another three rounds. Lao Nie is likely to face a wheel battle with more than four or five people from the Japanese side.

This year, Lao Nie was already quite old. If such an unfavorable situation really formed, it would be an unbearable test for his energy and physical strength.

But this was the situation half a year ago. If the Japanese wanted to expand the number of participants to nine, they would definitely not compromise easily.

But now, although Lao Nie doesn't like Ji Xiuwen, he doesn't want to secretly suppress him. Since he joined the Chinese Go team, he might as well take advantage of this overly sensible little monster.

In addition to being a well-known chess master, Lao Nie is also the head coach of the Chinese Go team. Naturally, he has the right to form troops for this expedition to Japan.

When Wu Jie was still guessing how many times Ji Xiuwen would appear on the stage, Lao Nie was already in the room holding the labels of "Vice General" and "Pioneer" to compare Ji Xiuwen's photos.

This is obviously still entangled. If Ji Xiuwen is allowed to play forward, he is likely to hit the Japanese team hard at the beginning.

But if this kid is really asked to perform an N consecutive slash, it would be too cheap for him.

"Hmph, aren't you sensible, kid? If you're really sensible, just keep an eye on the gate for me!"

Lao Nie still had some emotions in his heart. That game made his reputation in the domestic Go circle plummet.

That's okay, the most annoying thing is that he was not called in the next card game, but Ji Xiuwen was called.

The more Lao Nie thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he slapped the label "Vice General" on Ji Xiuwen's photo.

As for Pioneer, they have always given priority to women in the previous two terms, and this time is no exception.

……

On November 11th, Wu Jie finally arrived in Japan on the eve of the Sino-Japanese war, and stayed at the hotel where the Chinese Go team lived.

The Japanese people are still very concerned about this Sino-Japanese war, but compared with the national attention of the first competition, this time it must be a little worse. Who made the winners of the previous two competitions be China.

But the biggest change this time is the self-confidence of both sides. Two years ago, a Japanese magazine conducted a public opinion poll. The result was that among more than 3000 voters, only 27 people believed that the Chinese team would win, and 27 of these 24 people I am a Chinese student studying in Japan.

It was the same in China. Only 20% of Chinese fans predicted that the Chinese team would win in the Chinese voting results announced by "Go World".

This is what happened two years ago, and it is still close to me now.

But in such a blink of an eye, the results of this year's opinion polls have been reversed. This year, only 50% of the people in Japan believe that their side can win, while 80% of the people in China believe that they can win.

The attitude of the Japanese Go world towards this battle is that there is no room for loss. The main player Kato Masao has already released his words: If this time they are no match for China at home, each of them will not shave their beards until they defeat the Chinese team.

Wu Jie likes to hear these words very much, but he also knows that this is to restore the trend of declining popularity of Go in Japan, and it is even more important to force out his full potential with the momentum of breaking the boat.

The Japanese Go team can no longer afford to lose. If they lose to China three times in a row, the Japanese people's attention and interest in Go may drop significantly.

But for Wu Jie, even if he won't be willing to play Go after killing the Japanese, he also doesn't want to see the Chinese team lose!

When he found the leader of the Chinese Go team in the hotel, he learned that there was a meeting there to discuss the strategy for tomorrow's first game.

This time the group arena will last for nine days, and two people will be eliminated every day until the final battle on the ninth day.

But this is only the slowest process. If someone on one side wins consecutive battles, the battle will end within five days at the fastest.

Wu Jie didn't ask the team leader to bother the players of the Go team, and he came to contact them just as a show.

How could he not know what was going on with Ji Xiuwen.

This period of time is a good time to pay attention to the AFC U23 Championship, which is the qualifier for the men's football team for the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

The men's football qualifiers are different from the men's basketball, and the process is more like the World Cup qualifiers. The difference is that each country can only send players under the age of 23 to compete.

This is the final decision after the last Olympic Games, after a big fight between FIFA and the Olympic Organizing Committee.

Clearly, FIFA has once again overwhelmed the Olympic Organizing Committee.

In the future, the age of Olympic football players will be limited to under 23 years old. This new regulation has been implemented since the 1988th Olympic Games in 24.

In the original plane, the Olympic Organizing Committee at least won the supplementary clause that "each team can recruit three overage players to participate in the competition", but this plane does not need to think about why this rule is missing.

In this way, neither he nor Chen Haonan met the age requirement. It was a coincidence that Lin Yaodong was just 23 years old during the Olympics, so he met the competition regulations.

However, Lin Yaodong was unwilling to play in the Olympics again. Internally, his reason was that his body was tired and needed to be recuperated, but externally he had the face of "I don't bother to compete with unknown people".

Of course, the Football Association pretended not to know anything, and readily agreed to Lin Yaodong's request to use the summer to cultivate his body.

Being so easy to talk is not only because he can't afford to offend Lin Yaodong, but also because the current Chinese team has no shortage of outstanding young goalkeepers.

In the past two years, the Chinese men's football team has been a goalkeeper. Lin Yaodong, Feng Qingrong, and Zhang Huikang of the Mesozoic era have all established themselves in Europe; the younger generation of Gong Li and Yan Junfei, their potential is not inferior to the two big brothers Feng and Zhang.

The Olympics is only an event at the U23 level, and these two teenagers are enough to secure the gate of the Chinese team.

Today happened to be the third match of the Olympic team in Group B, so Wu Jie simply watched the match in the room first.

This year's China U23 has attracted a lot of international attention, because even if Sanshen did not join, everyone will still be stunned when they look at the 23-man roster, especially the starting lineup!

The starting lineup of the Chinese U23 Olympic team——

Frontcourt: Yang Shuhua (86, 20 years old, 183cm), Wu Sheng (82, 18 years old, 192cm)

Midfielders: Ren Zhihui (88, 21 years old, 174cm), Zhou Haowen (81, 17 years old, 178cm), Fan Zhiyi (80, 19 years old, 183cm), Wang Yuanlin (86, 19 years old, 179cm)

Backcourt: Jiang Wei (85, 22 years old, 175cm), Zheng Guohong (86, 20 years old, 183cm), Mao Xiuquan (83, 18 years old, 186cm), Wang Zhenjie (78, 18 years old, 180cm)

Goalkeeper: Gong Li (81, 20 years old, 179cm)

The Japanese TV station also broadcast live the game with great disparity between strength and weakness. When the commentator saw the starting lineup of the Chinese team, the sour, sour, and envious tone made Wu Jie in front of the TV feel a little bit refreshed!

His feelings for this team are mainly a sense of accomplishment, because these are all native talents, at most he has upgraded some of their talents. Now watching them grow step by step, Wu Jie has a feeling of playing "Football Manager".

中国队前两场已经以8：0和9：0的悬殊比分击败了菲律宾和印尼，这一场对阵的是亚洲排名第10的叙利亚。

However, there was still not much difference between the process and the result of the whole game. The Chinese team, which completely suppressed the opponent, finally won the victory with a big score of 7:0 thanks to the two goals contributed by Wang Yuanlin and the substitute midfielder Ma Mingyu.The other three goals were scored by Yang Shuhua, Wu Sheng, and Mao Xiuquan. It is worth mentioning that Wu Sheng created a hat-trick of assists in the game.

The format of the Asian qualifiers this time is group stage + knockout stage, but just like basketball, only champions can qualify for direct promotion. Both No.2 and No.3 will compete with teams from other continents for the promotion places.

Of course, Wu Jie doesn't think the Chinese team will overturn. In addition to the overwhelming strength of the starting lineup, they also sit on the bench, such as Ge Guangxing and Gao Zhongxun, who have established themselves in Europe.

As for the latest Chinese genius Ma Mingyu, although he played half of the three games as a substitute, he scored 4 goals with super high efficiency.

This Chongqing genius, who is only a few months away from turning 18, has naturally attracted the attention of many European teams.

In these three games, Ma Mingyu not only showed maturity and calm beyond his age, but also showed excellent scheduling ability and solid dribbling skills technically, but the most amazing thing was his shooting. One exception is all long-range shots, and they are all completed with the left foot. At present, it seems that apart from being slightly worse in confrontation and slower in movement, he is likely to be another talented player.

Of course Wu Jie knew that Ma Mingyu was not a genius. His shortcomings were in confrontation and physical strength. In addition, his speed and agility were also shortcomings. His natural talent was worse than that of Gao Zhongxun.

So he wouldn't spend too much resources to help Ma Mingyu make up for so many shortcomings, but it wouldn't cost much to buy two and a half three-star special talents to improve properly.

This kind of improvement can probably change his short board from 50+ to 65+. Although he still seems to be stretching his hips, but after barely passing the pass and then matching his own strengths, it is at least half a level of improvement.

This is also his current attitude towards football consumption. Except for a few players he particularly favors, such as Fan Zhiyi, Yang Chen, and Zheng Zhi, he will use the four-star special talent to improve them when the time is right. This is how to buy one or two three-and-a-half-level talents and improve them appropriately.

Wu Jie took a nap after watching the game, and finally saw the Chinese Go team in the restaurant at night.

Lao Nie was overjoyed to see him. The two of them have a good relationship. After all, they are die-hard fans of the Chinese team. This man's love for football may even surpass that of Go.

Wu Jie pretended not to know Ji Xiuwen, and he waited for Lao Nie to introduce him before he said in surprise: "You are a little sick fairy? The first genius in China to advance to 15th Dan at the age of 5?"

Ji Xiuwen really wanted to roll his eyes, but he still said in his usual gentle and gentle tone: "I'm overwhelmed, I'm dying of illness, I'm just surviving."

When he said this, he covered his face with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, but after putting it down, he could still see a proud smile on his lips.

Seeing this, Lao Nie turned his head away, he still couldn't like this handsome sick man.

Wu Jie naturally expressed his appreciation for Ji Xiuwen, and kept looking for topics to pull him to talk.

Old Nie's eyesight is still very high, seeing this, like other team members who came up to say hello and then left, he consciously found an excuse to go aside.

Only then did Wu Jie lower his voice and say, "I heard that you also went to play cards?"

Ji Xiuwen still said in the same slow tone, "No, I just went to play chess, and I lost after three hundred moves!"

"You fucking...you're really sensible, did you get kicked in the ass after taking a shower?"

"No, I just got pinched on my face a few times, and then I went for a full body checkup. Finally, I sent an old Chinese doctor to recuperate my body. That person is much better than my old man."

Wu Jie couldn't help laughing when he heard this, it seems that the bosses also like this young man with kidney deficiency very much, it seems that the imperial doctor is sent out.

"How do you say, are you going to do some showmanship in this competition?"

"I'm still too young, and now I'm barely strong enough to win consecutively, but I don't have enough energy to operate on multiple lines!"

Although Ji Xiuwen has exercised twice in the dream training, his body in reality is only 15 years old after all, and his energy does not allow him to operate multi-line.

"How is your body, do you want to help you improve it!"

At this moment, Wu Jie saw that Ji Xiuwen's face was indeed turning pale, and he was really afraid that he would belch suddenly.

"Then needless to say, do you think I'm just pretending to be so weak?"

At this point, Ji Xiuwen coughed again, and almost touched some blood on it.

At this time, Wu Jie took out a card that he had already prepared, and saw that only he and Ji Xiuwen could see it had three large characters printed on it - "Three Immortals"!

"As the name of this card implies, you will never die when you see the sky, you will never die when you see a disease, and you will never die when you see people. In human terms, it means: you will not die from accidents, you will not die from illness, and you will not be killed by others." Wu Jie said that there is also a warning here. He said, "But don't pretend to be dead, because dying is not within the effective scope of the three immortals. If you don't wear a mask, you will still be unable to breathe. If you eat Fukushima specialties, you will still get cancer. If you see the American police, you will still be cleared." clip."

Chapter 461 The prosperity of the country and the prosperity of chess

On December 12st, the third "China-Japan Go Competition" kicked off in Tokyo. The Japanese media reported on the title "Tokyo Defense Battle", and Fuji TV was preparing to broadcast each game live.

Generally speaking, chess games are more suitable for live TV broadcast, not for live viewing.

The scene of the Sino-Japanese war only set up a viewing area with less than [-] seats, but in fact, it still needs to be watched on the big screen at the scene, and the experience is not even as good as watching TV at home.

But Japanese Go fans never dreamed that this game would attract the arrival of aliens.

After Wu Jie showed up at the match, it caused a commotion without accident!

The Go fans at the scene turned into football fans in seconds. Even the members of the Japanese Go team had several young players couldn't help coming up and asking for a group photo.

In the end, the on-site host kept shouting to everyone to calm down and not to harass Wu Jie to watch the game, which made the Japanese chess fans slowly disperse.

But the chess fans dispersed, and the reporters on the scene rushed up again.
