Chapter 250: 16-year-old "Contemporary Chess King"
Chapter 250 16-year-old "Contemporary Chess King"
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, in a studio hall of the Imperial Palace, Li Xiangping was looking around curiously.
rushing back to the capital so early, then Li Xiangping has no choice, mainly because of this incident today.
"2002 National Top Ten Athletes Award Ceremony".
Originally, in previous years, there were not so many tricks in the domestic sports world. The selection of the top ten athletes was first published in the "China Sports News", and the votes were counted and announced directly. The leader gave a speech, and it was over.
But this year is different. Maybe it was inspired by the international "Lawrence Award". The Imperial Sports Channel also kept pace with the times. They decided to come up with something new, so there is today's so-called "Annual Festival" ".
The face of the imperial court, of course, the General Administration of Sports will give it. Take Li Xiangping as an example. When he was still on the third day of the new year, he received a call from the Chess Academy, informing him that he must attend this ceremony today.
There is no other reason, because this year's selection has added some new awards, in addition to the normal "Top Ten", there are also "Best New Male and Female", "Most Popular", "The Best Special Award of the Year" and so on.
It was Team Leader Hua who called Li Xiangping at that time. Li Xiangping remembered that he was very happy at the time. He asked Team Leader Hua what award he was shortlisted for? Is there any hope of winning in the end?
"The finalist is the Most Popular Athlete Award. I don't know the specifics. In short, stop talking nonsense. Remember to be there on time. Xiangping, did you hear it clearly?"
After Team Leader Hua hung up the phone, Li Xiangping felt happier. He knows that if other awards are hard to say, but if this is the "most popular", then he has more than 90% probability to accompany him.
You must know that last year was 2002, and Yao Ming became the No. 1 draft pick in the NBA. There is no doubt that this was definitely the most influential event in the domestic sports world last year.
is more popular than Big Yao? Li Xiangping still has this self-knowledge. He knows that even if he doubles his championship, he will definitely not be as popular as others.
Li Xiangping reckoned that since basketball is a collective sport, then of course, big man Yao can't win in terms of competitive performance alone, so he has little hope for other awards, and most likely and most popular is this "best" "Popular" award.
The NBA is still in the regular season now, and Yao big man will definitely not be able to return to China now, so the Hua leader will be in such a hurry that he must arrive at the 鈥斺��
The main lord will definitely not be able to show up. If he doesn't even show up as a "spare tire" by then, how embarrassing will it be for the court?
To be honest, considering that he was just a spare tire, Li Xiangping was more or less resistant.
However, his resistance was ineffective. After all, it was impossible for Team Leader Hua to call him alone. After learning that he was going to appear on TV, his family members were active one by one. His grandparents couldn't even close their mouths all day long, and the old man Li Yuanhu even more It was early to make arrangements to send him back to the capital on the sixth day of the sixth day. No, by the time he came to this studio, he had already recharged his energy for dozens of hours.
Li Xiangping is sitting with other award-winning athletes. If you want to talk about the domestic sports world these days, it is definitely a yin and yang decline. Take this "top ten" as an example, except for Li Xiangping and Yao Da, who was not present. In addition to the stature, another male athlete is Li Xiaopeng who practices gymnastics, and the other seven selected are all women.
Li Xiangping looked at them one by one, don't look at everyone's "sports peers", but to be honest, Li Xiangping is not familiar with others at all, and there are not many "nodding acquaintances" among them.
"Well, I know this, Guo Jingjing, who practices diving, is also familiar with this, Zhang Yining, the great devil of table tennis, um, this is the most familiar, last year's women's national elephant world champion Zhu Chen, but unfortunately she later married to the poor place in the bay. Now, this time there are two chess players in the top ten, so Dean Wang must be very proud of him now, this one looks familiar and knows that she is engaged in ice and snow events, but the name
Li Xiangping glanced around and found that among the seven female athletes, he only knew three and a half. He felt ashamed about it, and felt ashamed that he was so ignorant.
Li Xiangping is observing others, and of course others forgive him. In fact, among so many athletes, he is the most interesting existence to others.
There are several reasons for this. First, Li Xiangping is the youngest. Second, he was selected for the first time, and many others may already be regulars on the "Top Ten".
The third and most important point, because of the nature of his project, because of his dominance, because of his talent.
Especially on this last point, in terms of dominance in various fields, of course there are people present who can match him, such as Guo Jingjing and Zhang Yining, whose dominance is as good as him.
However, the dominance of other people seems to be cultivated by others. Even if they can reach the top in a project, the talent of that person will definitely not be bad. But the outside world won't talk about this, and the media won't publicize it. For example, the outside world won't say how good Zhang Yining's table tennis talent is, so she is now a big devil.
Of course, only Li Xiangping is an exception. Since his debut, the outside world's reports on him mainly focus on highlighting his talent, and rarely talk about his efforts.
Although Li Xiangping believes that his efforts are actually no worse than any chess player, there is no way. Now when the outside world talks about the "Li Xiangping who plays Go", they will only say how outstanding his talent is and how many years it is. A once-in-a-lifetime genius, and little else.
So there is no doubt that attributes like him are actually envied by other athletes, which is why he attracts attention.
"Xiang Ping, why are you looking around, what do you want to see?"
Fortunately, at this time someone finally struck up a conversation with Li Xiangping, and it wasn't anyone else who spoke up, it was Zhu Chen, who was playing Guoxiang. Too familiar, but at least a little acquaintance.
"Haha, I didn't see anything, I don't want to look for a pen and a notebook."
"Pen and notebook? What are you looking for."
"I need autographs. All of the people here today are my idols, and it's rare to get together like this. If you don't sign at this time, when will you wait?"
"Hee hee hee"
"Hehehe"
Everyone present naturally knew that Li Xiangping was joking, but as soon as he said this, the whole atmosphere became lively. Instead of sitting down like the beginning, everyone turned to talk to each other.
Taking advantage of the youngest, Li Xiangping naturally became the most popular one again, but it was a pity, even if the staff from the imperial court came to inform everyone to prepare, and the award ceremony would start soon, Li Xiangping still only remembered 3 and a half female athletes.
"The next player we are going to invite is very special. Where is he special? Among all the guests present today, he is the youngest, but although he is young, his achievements are extremely high. To what extent? So high that he is still less than 16 years old, and he is already considered by many people to be the king of his field. I believe that after hearing such an introduction, many people have already guessed who the next one is."
"That's right, next we have a request, a famous Chinese Go player, who won his first world championship at the age of 13, and is known as the contemporary chess king before the age of 16. Yes, everyone said, who is he? Yes, he is Li Xiangping, now we use the warmest applause to invite Li Xiangping to appear on stage nine."
Such a provocative opening remarks of course need a soundtrack, that is, in the soundtrack, Li Xiangping appeared in what he thought was the most graceful style.
In the process of Li Xiangping's debut, the live TV broadcast was accompanied by a narration, which was actually a promotional video introducing the athletes.
These Li Xiangping didn't know, but Li Yuanhu, who was watching TV at home, found that the TV station took a little thought for Li Xiangping's explanation today.
This is mainly because of the particularity of the game of Go. For example, if it is to introduce Guo Jingjing, then the TV station does not need to think too much, as long as some very beautiful diving scenes are mixed together.
However, Go is not good. If you want to combine the scenes of Li Xiangping's game, it will not be worth watching at all.
Therefore, the court stage is ingenious this time. This short film introducing Li Xiangping is actually mainly the evaluation of him by other chess players.
For example, domestic old Nie Ma, Xiao Chang Hao Gu, and their four generations of chess players commented on Li Xiangping, South Korea's four great kings commented on Li Xiangping, and how did Japan's Six Super League and Fujisawa's old magic stick comment on Li Xiangping? The comments are mixed together, supplemented by some scenes of Li Xiangping winning the championship and winning the cup, which constitutes the entire promotional video.
In this way, Li Xiangping's "genius" name has been confirmed again. I believe that after this awards ceremony is broadcast, more people who didn't know Go at all will know about him as a 16-year-old "contemporary chess king". .
Li Xiangping didn't feel much himself, for no other reason, because after this award ceremony was over, it was not far from his next professional game.
The next game is the quarter-finals of the "Chunlan Cup", where his opponent is Japan's Wang Licheng 9dan.
This is the first game of the new season, especially at the moment when he won the "LG Cup", when he was determined to win a championship that belonged to him, he already regarded this game as a new beginning.
Since it is a new starting point, a new beginning, of course Li Xiangping will attach great importance to it.
Especially considering the "SARS" that followed, and considering that it will be close to half a year later, many schedules may be disrupted, so Li Xiangping will naturally pay more attention.
Since he paid attention to it, of course he had to be prepared, so he quickly threw himself into preparing for the battle.
