Chapter 525: Impossible
The semi-finals, which should have received the highest attention, were stolen by Yu Guanfei alone, in this case, would anyone still care about the last few matches that are still competing for qualification for the finals?
There may be, but it is unknown how much, after all, the impact and heat caused by this incident are really difficult to estimate, not only the future of the Ice Maple Club is unpredictable, but even the future pattern and changes of the IA League may have a far-reaching impact.
Take the Bingfeng Club, which originally had a great advantage in the first round of semi-finals, for example, because of the occurrence and escalation of this incident, not only did the two singles matches on the first day be lost, but even the other two singles matches on the second day were swept by WIN without exception.
WIN, which was still at an absolute disadvantage before, instantly changed from 2:11 in the first semi-final to 10:11 now, as long as it can successfully win the next team match, then WIN can successfully counterattack with a total score of 15:11.
Could it be that WIN really wants to complete the shocking counterattack journey? Can you take 13 points in one round and make it to the finals?
If it had been two days ago, the vast majority of viewers and media commentators would have thought it was absolutely wishful thinking, and even WIN's own home fans might not have believed that this kind of thing would have happened.
But at this time, in the face of the Ice Maple Club, which is disheartened and has no desire to fight, this answer seems to need to be questioned at all.
Looking at the first four singles matches that have ended, in addition to Cai Wenxiang, who initially played against Hu Xiaopeng, which of the three players, including Bingfeng's captain You Xiaorong, was not free from the game in the game?
Not to mention how much of their usual strength they played, just the weaknesses and various low-level mistakes they exposed during the game were enough to make them doomed.
Even in the eyes of many people, in addition to Cai Wenxiang, even You Xiaorong's performance as the captain can be described as miserable, maybe even if his opponent is replaced by a substitute player in the secondary league, You Xiaorong may be eliminated from the competition, so let alone the WIN players who are preparing for the game.
And not only You Xiaorong and these players were affected by Yu Guanfei, but even those high-level Bingfeng executives who had no direct relationship with the competition, as well as the staff at the grassroots level, had been in a state of panic at this time.
Among them, it naturally also includes Chen Liang, who Yu Guanfei had previously spent a lot of money to poach from WIN, and the team of mechanics who only Chen Liang was the first to look forward to.
But fortunately, Chen Liang's reputation is outside, even if there is no Ice Maple Club, then there will definitely be other accommodation for him to choose at will.
But the others are different, because except for Chen Liang and his team of mechanics, the other mechanics and technicians don't seem to know what their future holds.
Especially on the day of You Xiaorong's incident, Chen Liang, who was already in Beiling City, suddenly led his team of mechanics back to Nanfeng City without any warning, and those local mechanics who had been ignored were even more in a state of confusion.
Even if these "abandoned" mechanics still follow their responsibilities to repair all the IAs damaged in previous battles before the start of the team competition, the level of detail of the IA repair, and whether the various tests and debugging carried out after the repair really meet the previous technical standards, is another matter.
The team of players led by You Xiaorong was disheartened, and the team of mechanics led by Chen Liang abandoned the expedition team and retreated alone.
Even if this is not a "wall falling down and everyone pushing", then it may be regarded as "the tree is falling and scattering".
And in the face of such a Bingfeng club that has no combat effectiveness at all, if WIN can't win this team game, then WIN will really be the third place in the regular season.
There was no doubt that this crucial team match ended in a win for WIN, and the time limit for the entire team match was less than an hour.
There was no fierce attack, no subtle tactics, just a wave of tentative attacks after the two sides met each other, and the five players representing the Ice Maple Club had been instantly broken up and disabled by WIN.
Perhaps the only thing that makes WIN feel tricky is Cai Wenxiang alone.
In the case of Bingfeng's other four players being eliminated or voluntarily abstaining, will WIN be held back by Cai Wenxiang alone?
It's impossible, not to mention that Cai Wenxiang can't do this kind of thing, even any player can't do it.
The main reason why Cai Wenxiang is more tricky is because Cai Wenxiang is the only player in Bingfeng's team who did not give up the battle and insisted on the end of the game without giving up.
It is precisely because of Cai Wenxiang's insistence that WIN, who was originally hostile to Bingfeng and eager to cut it down, not only took the initiative to give up the siege and pursuit of Cai Wenxiang, but also made him once again fulfill his wish to fight Hu Xiaopeng alone.
In the game that he knew was impossible, Cai Wenxiang still chose to fight to the end, and was not affected by Yu Guanfei, and only concentrated on fighting for the game in front of him.
And this may be why Hu Xiaopeng chose to end Cai Wenxiang's final curtain call battle in this league in the form of 1V1, and it is also the real reason why Cai Wenxiang got the applause of the WIN home audience when he left the game after losing to Hu Xiaopeng.
Even because of this incident, Cai Wenxiang turned out to be the only player from a different team who could get their applause in the minds of WIN fans in the future, except for the players in WIN.
WIN has qualified, and they will compete for the final title on the stage of the Grand Finals against the defending club who have made it to the finals.
But compared to the bumpy road to defend the club, WIN's path to promotion was too dramatic, especially in the semi-finals against the Ice Maple Club.
And because of this, WIN has also been questioned by many good deeds, and even many gossip media have begun to point the spearhead of public opinion at WIN, who was originally on the periphery of the vortex, after they had no way to dig deep into the news of the Ice Maple Club.
"WIN secretly made trouble for the sake of victory, and deliberately framed the ICE general manager?"
"In order to win, WIN is the real mastermind?"
"Where is the fairness of professional competition? Could it be that professional competition is a means? ”
"It turns out that the real battlefield is not in the arena, but in the ......"
……
In the face of these completely speculative rumors, although WIN also made an official statement at the first time, but the strength of this statement is really limited, and it is not enough to dissociate himself from this matter, after all, from the perspective of results, the biggest beneficiary after Yu Guanfei is in prison is naturally WIN, who was at an absolute disadvantage in the game before.
If it weren't for Yu Guanfei being controlled by the police, and if it weren't for the news that made the Bingfeng Club in a state of panic, then WIN would never have had a chance to qualify for the finals.
In addition, the feud between WIN and the Ice Maple Club has a long history, so it seems reasonable for some people to implicate WIN in this matter.
Although no one can come up with evidence to identify WIN, this does not affect people's speculation and private discussions behind the scenes, especially some do-gooders and those who are quite excited about Bingfeng fans.
But soon, just as many people were secretly speculating about who was behind the scenes, another report was published on the Internet again.
As soon as this case report appeared, it dispelled many people's suspicions about WIN from the side, because this report was not issued by the Rongshan City Police, but a notice led by the Jichuan Provincial Public Security Department, jointly issued by the Rongshan City Police and the State Land Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and other law enforcement agencies at the same time.
Its content not only involves Yu Guanfei alone, but also involves many enterprises and organizations such as Jinrong Group and Shanhai Real Estate behind Yu Guanfei.
Or strictly speaking, Yu Guanfei only accounts for a small part of this circular, and most of the content is related to Jinrong Group and its many subsidiaries.
As for the facts of the case, there are more than 10 contents, including bribery and illegal occupation of land, as well as tax evasion and illegal bidding.
If Yu Guanfei's accident is still possible that WIN is making trouble behind it, then with the East Window incident of Jinrong Group, people don't seem to believe that this matter will be related to WIN.
After all, WIN is just a professional club, and its status and influence are not enough to compare with industry giants like Jinrong Group, let alone touch Jinrong Group because of WIN.
Of course, some people link the incident of Jinrong Group with Mu Qing's father Mu Tianhua, because in the eyes of many people, the Tianyuan Industry and Trade Group controlled by Mu Tianhua definitely has the strength to compete with Jinrong Group.
But this inference is not tenable at all, not to mention that Mu Tianhua has been strongly opposed to Mu Qing's operation of the IA club from beginning to end, and it is impossible to take risks for Mu Qing and WIN.
Even if the relationship between Mu Qing and Mu Tianhua's father and daughter eased because of the cooperation between Tianshun Shipping and WIN in the later period, then Mu Tianhua's Tianyuan Industry and Trade has no reason to have a dispute of interest with Yu Jinchang's Jinrong Group.
You must know that the focus of Tianyuan Industry and Trade over the years has been on international trade, even if it will involve some domestic entities and service industries, it is only Hengyuan Company, which is mainly engaged in food production and sales, and Tianshun Company, which is responsible for shipping security.
But what about the Jinrong Group? Whether it is Jinrong Real Estate in Jinchang, or Shanhai Real Estate in the hands of Yu Guanfei, or bidding companies and commercial concrete transportation companies, almost all industries are concentrated in the related fields of real estate development and real estate investment.
Completely different "spheres of influence", the main business field that has nothing to do with it, so in such a situation, it is even less hostile and seizing the market.
And the most important thing is that the fundamental problem of this matter must also lie in the Jinrong Group itself, if not, even if someone wants to deliberately frame it, then it is impossible for so many problems to be found out one after another.
Even if it weren't for the pressure of the media, the Rongshan City Police might not have taken the lead in making Guanfei public, after all, compared to Jinrong Group, the Bingfeng Club in Yu Guanfei's hands or Shanhai Real Estate is just a small shrimp in the hands of Jinrong Group.
Yu Guanfei was controlled by the police, and the case is still under investigation, and although the news of Yu Jinchang's investigation has not yet been reported, it is conceivable that Yu Jinchang's life during this period is definitely not easy.
Because on the day of the release of the second case report, the board of directors of Jinrong Group also made an urgent response to this notice as soon as possible.
Not only was Yu Jinchang, the chairman of the board of directors, temporarily suspended from performing his duties, but even the senior leaders of a number of subsidiaries involved in the case also announced their dismissal or suspension in order to fully cooperate with the police's investigation and evidence collection.
