00:00Because of that, I have no choice but to teach her.

00:04I think she's perfect for me.

00:06Cross.

00:08Cross.

00:09I will cross.

00:12First of all, I think I thought a lot about the game.

00:17I did a lot of image training, and I think I was able to bring such good results.

00:22In the last two games, she lost to Wang Hui.

00:24What did she think and what did she prepare for the match?

00:27I lost two games, but I think I learned a lot from that.

00:33I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but I will do my best.

00:41I think I will do my best.

00:43Wang Ji, what she feels is the biggest challenge for Wang Ji.

00:47What makes Wang Ji strong as a player?

00:50Wang Ji must have analyzed me a lot.

00:55I will be the subject of analysis, and I think all the players will analyze me a lot.

01:03I think it will be a challenge for me to think about how to do that.

01:13And I think I can play the game like myself.

01:19What do you think of Wang Ji's performance in the last two games?

01:24I talked to her about her performance in the last two games.

01:27I think her condition is not the best.

01:30I watched her other games.

01:33I think her personal condition will be better.

01:39So I'm looking forward to playing with her tomorrow.

01:41Of course, I don't think I will win tomorrow just because I beat her in the last two games.

01:48So I will do my best to prepare for tomorrow's game.

01:53In the final, everyone's goal is to win the championship.

01:59So I don't think I'm an exception.

02:01The championship is definitely my goal.

02:03But I think I need to focus more on the game and the process.

02:08Wang Ji also said that this time it could be different.

02:11She said you have analyzed her game.

02:13She will of course give you a tough challenge.

02:16But do you hope to overcome this again?

02:20I think it's normal.

02:22Because we will analyze her game.

02:24And she will analyze us.

02:27I think it's because we have such an opponent that we can improve.
