Qiu Shang naturally didn't really change teams.
This year's Table Tennis Super League autumn competition also ended the transfer period in mid-August and is about to officially kick off.
Many teams have come up with brand-new lineups, such as Magic City Fire Phoenix. They successfully poached Liaoning Province Zhonggang's general Qi Hao, and absorbed the port veteran Weng Chunting to form a super luxurious lineup with Bai Feng, Qi Hao, and Weng Chunting as the main players.
There is another reason for this lineup, that is, the two representatives of Penhold Backhand Loop in the world appear in the same team.
Imperial Capital Panlong was not idle either. They first poached general Lin Li from Jizhou Province Laobaigan Club, and then acquired African top player Arul. Together with Zhu Ding who originally stayed behind, they also formed a super luxurious lineup.
In fact, during the formation process of these two galactic battleships, there was extremely bloody capital competition behind the transfer of Qi Hao and Lin Li.
In the past few years, Table Tennis Super League has maintained a superficial harmony like that of Huaping. Everyone knows that the main players of the national team are easy to use, but on the one hand, for the sake of Kings do not meet kings, and on the other hand, for each other's favor, no one wants to make things impossible, so Table Tennis Super League has maintained peace for many years.
The initiator who really broke the peace of Table Tennis Super League was actually Jiangcheng University Team. They introduced Hook, which allowed the Table Tennis Super League team to directly transform from the "one super and many strong" configuration for many years to the "two super and one strong" configuration. As expected, they directly won the championship.
If this change alone is not enough to completely stimulate other teams, because after all, it is difficult to find generals.
For example, Imperial Capital Panlong, if you have money, you will have money, but if you want to poach Lin Li from Jizhou Laobaigan club, the boss of Lao Baigan Club will fight you to the end. He cannot back down, because losing a general is almost equivalent to relegating Table Tennis First Division, so he must work hard.
But this year, we caught up with the wave of non-Chinese associations players entering Table Tennis Super League.
So if Imperial Capital Panlong digs Lin Li at this time, the boss of Laobaigan Club may not be willing to sell everything to you. After all, stud is always the last resort, but now there is a stopgap measure: you can buy other people from the market.
In previous years, there were too few experts and too many teams, and the slightly better players were not for sale, but this year, the supply is sufficient.
So Lao Baigan sold Lin Li, whose contract had not yet expired, to Imperial Capital Panlong. Instead, he made a lot of money, which he used to pick and choose in the market. Although I can't say how strong the team he finally formed was, at least it was safe to avoid relegation.
It is worth mentioning here that Imperial Capital New City Club.
This team has encountered ups and downs in the past two years. It was first downgraded and then returned to Table Tennis Super League. The result is that the number of fans in the original Table Tennis Super League level has dropped sharply, and now its business situation is worrying. Moreover, another team in the Imperial City, Panlong Club, has a too luxurious lineup this year and has almost captured all the attention of the people of the Imperial Capital. Therefore, Imperial Capital New City is really poor this year.
This can be seen from the lack of salary increase for head coach Wang Shou.
As the champion coach who led the team back to Table Tennis Super League and received unanimous praise from the outside world, Wang Shou's annual salary should have been increased by at least 30%, but in the end it did not increase by a penny. It is said that the boss of Imperial Capital New City had a long chat with Wang Shou. As for what they talked about, it was nothing more than common capitalist methods such as making excuses, complaining, and improving morale.
Wang Shou is a smart man, and he doesn't like painting cakes. However, due to some considerations, he chose to stay, thus gaining another reputation of "benevolence and righteousness" in the industry.
The two strong players in the Xincheng team, Liang Kunpeng and Lin Zijun, also refused to give up and chose to stay.
It is understandable that Liang Kunpeng stays behind. He must stay in the New City team to continue playing under Wang Shou. In the national team, the reason why his teachers Chen Taolue and Wang Shou help each other is precisely because of the bond of Liang Kunpeng.
But Lin Zijun is a super favorite in the transfer market. In the evaluation of Table Tennis Super League coaches, he is the super foreign aid second only to Hook. Considering that Hook is focusing on the World Championship this year, then Lin Zijun is the undoubted king of worth in the transfer market.
Imperial Capital Panlong, Magic City Fire Phoenix, Shandong Province Weiqiao, and a certain Suzhou team that had money but poor performance over the years all offered him sky-high salaries.
How high is it?
It is twice as high as Wang Chao's current salary at Spade Q.
Wang Chao now gets the maximum salary from Spade Q, and it was Fan Xiaofan who took the initiative to increase Wang Chao's salary many times in a row, all the way up to Table Tennis Super League is currently in the highest tier among all teams, but the price quoted by Lin Zijun this time is actually twice as high as Wang Chao, which shows how crazy the capital is.
It can only be said that, stimulated by the transfer wave this year, Table Tennis Super League is really crazy.
But the bosses will naturally not lose money. They have realized that with the inflow of non-Chinese associations players, Table Tennis Super League is about to transform from a purely domestic league in the past into a truly world-class league. If coupled with Qin Huachang's commentary, then the influence of a single game of Table Tennis Super League may even exceed the possibility of three major competitions in the future.
Under such a premise, it is normal for the Table Tennis Super League plate to expand tenfold or even have foreign capital injected into it.
So now, the most important thing is to seize the high ground at all costs.
But Lin Zijun chose to stay, because he felt that the current atmosphere in the team was very good, and he liked the coach very much. He was not an ambitious person, nor was he someone who valued money too much. He felt that if he continued to play at Imperial Capital New City, he would have a very pleasant career. At the same time, he actually made a lot of money, because the boss of Imperial Capital New City Team tightened his belt and took the initiative to give him a salary increase, but it was not that exaggerated.
At this point, the turmoil of the transfer period has come to an end. When everyone is talking about Lin Zijun's highest net worth, they don't know that hidden under the turmoil of the transfer period, there is a real record of the highest net worth, which belongs to Wang Chao.
Yes, during the entire transfer period, a total of three teams poached Wang Chao, namely Imperial Capital Panlong, Magic City Fire Phoenix, and Jiangcheng University Team.
Imperial Capital Panlong and Magic City Fire Phoenix have never been short of money. All they need to consider is investment income. As for Wang Chao, these two teams have the same point of view: as long as they can win, they will not lose no matter how much money they spend.
So the two teams contacted Wang Chao privately, and both sides had no room for bargaining or deliberate pulling. As soon as they opened their mouths, they directly revealed their bottom line. "Our bottom line is that there is no bottom line. As long as you come, you can set the price."
The other one, Jiangcheng University Team, is a typical backstabbing old friend. After all, the daughter of the boss behind Jiangcheng University Team seems to be in love with Fan Xiaofan, and it is said that they have reached the stage of marriage.
All I can say is that capital is really unemotional.
Although Jiangcheng University Team's capital was acceptable, he did not dare to let Wang Chao set a random price like the two teams above. They were playing the favor card.
"Look, your senior brother Luo Jiu is also on our team. Don't you want to fight alongside him and win another Table Tennis Super League championship as brothers?"
"You are both a player and a coach at Spade Q, but Fan Xiaofan only gives you one salary. This is naked exploitation. If you are willing to come over, we will immediately resign the current coach and let you also hold two jobs. It's all up to you to deploy troops, and your salary will be doubled. Moreover, you don't have to leave your hometown. You can still play in your hometown. You can go home to visit your parents at any time. Even the fans are the same people. It can be said that except for the income being doubled, everything else will remain the same. How great."
However, Wang Chao is a sober person and will not be deceived by sweet words. In fact, he would rather agree to Imperial Capital Panlong and Magic City Fire Phoenix than go to Jiangcheng University Team.
Why?
Because even Jiangcheng University Team's own general Luo Jiu is already in Cao's camp and his heart is in Han.
Although money is good, it is not as good as my own wife. As long as Sister Xian is in Spade Q, senior brother will definitely come back next year. He is just waiting for a contract to expire.
In late August, Super League officially started playing, and in the international arena, Swedish Open Platinum leg also started playing at the same time. Wang Chao once again went into battle, participating in Men's Singles and Men's Doubles, and eventually won both championships.
As for Men's Singles, he once again defeated Fan Xiaodong in the semifinals.
Fan Xiaodong is really helpless. He actually has a big heart and is not afraid of losing, but after being pinned so many times in a row, he finally began to realize that something was wrong, because he knew that Wang Chao would participate in all the open tournaments this year that he participated in.
Basically, he and Lin Li follow the line Wang Chao, and Bai Feng follows the line Luo Jiu. This was decided when the cake was divided at the beginning of the year.
"Then if I want to win the championship, if I don't lose to others, won't I definitely encounter Brother Chao at every stop? It's just a matter of sooner or later."
"Then if I can't break through Brother Chao, will I have to keep losing?"
"Last year I heard that Bayer of Germany lost dozens of games to Brother Long in seven years. I shouldn't be as unlucky as him, losing dozens of games to Super Brother, right?"
The 16-year-old Fan Xiaodong finally developed a sense of fateful worry at a young age and endured pressure that he should not have to bear at his age.
But when Sun Tianlong and Wang Chao communicated privately, they asked Wang Chao to play harder next time because Fan Xiaodong actually laughed after losing.
"You have to make him cry at least once on the field, and that's when the fight is over." Sun Tianlong told Wang Chao very experiencedly, "Remember, if you beat him to tears on that day, it will be considered as the day when the fight is over. Then I'll treat you to a meal."
Wang Chao nodded in agreement, feeling a dark pleasure in beating someone under orders.
As for Men's Doubles, the victory of Wang Chao and Wu Li also made Cai Guodong breathe a sigh of relief, because this is the second time that the super martial arts combination has won the championship. This trend It is almost exactly the same as last year when Tang Dynasty Combination debuted, which also made Cai Guodong realize that probably Huaping's Men's Doubles will be like the mixed doubles in the next few years, making winning the championship a sure thing.
Men's Doubles is even more reassuring than mixed doubles, because there is only one Tang Dynasty Combination who can play mixed doubles, so Wang Chao could control the entire coaching staff a while ago, but Men's Doubles not only has a super martial arts combination, but also has a combination of Luo Jiu and Lin Li. The training effect is also excellent. I can only wait for next month's Peacock Country Open to be released to test the waters.
Finally, it's mixed doubles.
In mixed doubles, Cai Guodong still adheres to the idea of "not using Tang Dynasty Combination easily", which can be regarded as giving non-Chinese associations a breath. At the same time, it also hopes to cultivate at least one more pair of usable talents in addition to Tang Dynasty Combination, so as to avoid no one to make up for it in case of an accident.
So this time Huaping sent a brand new trial combination: Wang Qin+Shen Sha.
Considering that Wang Qin has a big head, the group is named "Decapitation".
At this point, Flying Sand Combination has been completely dismantled. Lu Feiyang lost the mixed doubles project and was replaced by Wang Qin. Considering that these two people are both disciples of the rich family, so within Hua Ping Ping The whole place was relatively calm, except that Qiu Yinong had a bit of resentment in his eyes when he saw Xiao Fei for a long time, and there were clearly written there the words "We are born from the same roots, so why rush each other?"
But Xiao Fei was also very aggrieved because he really didn't do anything. This was purely Cai Guodong's own decision.
Of course, at the competition level, everyone just regarded this as trial and error, and did not have high hopes. After all, a 13-year-old boy and a 19-year-old girl partnered up, just like a mother raising her son. They cannot be considered peers at all. As we all know, it is best for mixed doubles pairs to be paired with people of the same age, so that it is easier to reach various consensuses in the competition.
But no one expected that Swedish Open in August would achieve a slight upset in the mixed doubles.
Killing Head Combination, composed of Wang Qin and Shen Sha, first easily won three consecutive games in the qualifying round and entered the main draw. Then in the first round of the main draw, they encountered the second seed Sakura Country, Zhang Benkuang and Hayata Hannah. Everyone thought they would lose, but they won 3:2 with difficulty and entered the quarterfinals.
However, their fate was ill-fated. There were clearly three weak persimmons in the top eight, but they once again encountered strong enemies: Kim Bong and Kim Jong of Daehan Minguk.
Everyone thought it was time for them to call it a day, but in the end they won again 3:2, and actually reached the semi-finals in their first World Series appearance.
Did you think it was over?
not yet.
The situation of the mixed doubles semi-finals at this time is like this.
In the upper half, there is the Taiwan Island Combination combination of Lin Zijun and Zhen Jing, facing the Daehan Minguk combination of Xian Youwen and Che Songxin.
In the lower half, there is Killing Head Combination of Wang Qin and Shen Sha, facing Underworld Combination of Gao Mingyuan and Wang Yu.
Yes, the second half is a civil war. Although Cai Guodong is making a new attempt in mixed doubles, it still adheres to the step-by-step principle. It does not directly dismantle Flying Sand Combination and Underworld Combination, but first dismantles a pair to test the water.
Facts have proved that Underworld Combination was quite desperate to win after seeing Flying Sand Combination being demolished. They performed extremely well at this site and killed Weng Chunting and continuously along the way. Ai Qin's Hong Kong District Combination, as well as the Beautiful Country Combination of Kazik and Lilith, finally stood in front of Wang Qin and Shen Sha.
It is worth mentioning that the No. 1 seeds Sakura Country, Ichikawa Mima and Niuwa Xiaoxi had pure bad luck this time. They met Taiwan Island Combination early and were swept out.
So now the situation in the lower half is very delicate.
This is Underworld Combination's last chance. If they can win, it will prove that they still have a purpose. If they lose, they will almost certainly be demolished after they return.
At the same time, although one is in the new combination and the other is in the old combination, Wang Yu and Shen Sha are still facing another direct competition.
The game was extremely brutal. In the end, Killing Head Combination won 3:2 and advanced to the finals.
When the game reached this point, not only the Chinese table tennis team was shocked, but also the world table tennis circles were shocked. They all exclaimed, "China Table Tennis Team has a new ace after Tang Dynasty Combination."
(Brothers, it's coming to an end soon. I won't be able to make it to the end of the month. I still hope I can get at least 1,000 votes in the last month. Otherwise it would be too embarrassing. Although this month is not as diligent as the previous months, it is updated every day and never slacks off. For my good attitude, please give me a few rewards. Please.)
