"A few hours?"

"I guess it's about three hours before we get to the bus station over there."

"I'm so tired!"

"It's good to get used to it, it's like this every year when you come to Shandong."

Ying Jie couldn't help but stretch on the long-distance bus, and he almost forgot how long it had been since he had been on a long-distance bus?

In Ying Jie's impression, when he was very young in his previous life, there was no high-speed rail station in the county seat of his home, and he had to take a long-distance bus to a nearby big city.

Children are very prone to motion sickness and vomiting, and adults have to carry a plastic bag with them, and even the coach itself will have some plastic bags.

After the high-speed rail is in the back, the long-distance bus is already a very distant memory, even if it is an inter-city bus from the county to the city, more than half an hour is already considered a long distance.

Ying Jie didn't rest for a few days after returning from South Korea, and although he didn't participate in other national competitions, the playoffs of the Go League were still in full swing.

Ying Jie also followed his team and ran around the country.

This time, I also followed the team to the home stadium of the Shandong team for an away battle.

Because the Shandong team placed their home stadium in a small county below, Ying Jie and they had to transfer buses to the county seat after they flew to Qingdao.

Coupled with the various times on the plane, it was almost a day of long-distance running, and even Gu Shao's physique was a little difficult to hide his tiredness.

Ying Jie has been a professional chess player for almost a year, especially after a year, many tournaments have been renewed.

Therefore, Ying Jie has gradually stepped into the right track in the professional arena, and his life has begun to become rhythmic.

According to the results of the previous year's competition and the ranking of the rating scores, some of Ying Jie's competitions need to participate in the qualification, and some can directly enter the competition, but some still need to be pre-selected.

For some domestic competitions that still require a long time of qualifying, except for the title battle, Ying Jie basically chooses to give up by default.

One has a limited amount of energy, and it is certain that you must focus on the most important games.

But the international competition is completely different, and the world championship is arguably the most recognized competition, even if it is a qualifier.

After a year or two, when Ying Jie's points are enough, you can directly buy seed qualifications with championship points and directly enter the competition.

But now the accumulation is not enough, and the sum of the two domestic championship points in hand is not enough to redeem a seeding place.

Therefore, Ying Jie also participated in the pre-selection of several international competitions at other times, competing with others for the qualification of international competitions.

Because the Go League playoffs are divided into home and away systems, they are not held collectively in one place, but are hosted by each team, and the away team goes to the host place to play.

Judging from the competition plan formulated by the Chinese Chess Academy every year, domestic competitions and Go League generally do not conflict.

However, if the game is postponed for various reasons, it is sometimes difficult to say, after all, there will always be unexpected factors, and occasional conflicts are inevitable.

However, it is more difficult to talk about international competitions, especially the world competitions held by other countries, which will inevitably not take care of China's competition time.

Most of the players in the Go League, especially the main players, are going to participate in international competitions.

In the event of a conflict, if two members of a team go to an international match at the same time, the round can be postponed.

However, this postponement is actually a one-day postponement, so there is often a situation where the armor is encircled twice a week.

And because the schedule is very tight, and the current news dissemination is not as developed as in the Internet era, many chess fans have already run out after receiving the news and going to the tournament site, not to mention the tournament and professional players.

Coach Long Yan sat on the bus and clapped his hands at the people who were listless because of the long journey: "Everyone should be very relaxed in the last game in the capital.

But part of the reason is because the opposing team owes half a year's salary, and the other party is a little listless.

But the Shandong team does not have this situation now, everyone must not be tired because the distance is too long, but relax when playing chess. ”

Since the birth of the Go League, the issue of unpaid wages seems to have accompanied the development of the league.

In fact, it's not just Go, it seems to be the case in every sports industry.

Especially in the Go team, the team leader and coach are all acquaintances in the same industry, and there are often people who can't wipe their face and ask for salary.

After all, most people don't rely entirely on the income of the Go League, and most people will not choose to turn their faces when they have money in their hands.

However, when it came to the post-90s generation, some people directly rushed to the press conference to say that they owed wages, and directly asked for wages online and other means.

Although the chess players have various means, the reply from the people is not that they will not send it, and the finances are busy, so wait a little.

This kind of waiting is half a year, a year's thing, and even waiting for the owner to go bankrupt is not uncommon.

Even with lease-type foreign aid like the Yellow River Ninth Section, it is common for "lease fees" to be in arrears.

When Wei Jia met Ying Jie before the ninth section of the Yellow River, he joked that he would not pay money, and he would be bored.

Everyone subconsciously touched the money in their pockets.

Compared with other bosses, Mr. Pei can no longer be regarded as a clear stream, it is simply a mudslide.

"But the Shandong team is different, Shandong has always done a good job in Go, especially in Go marketing.

Unlike other teams, they put their home games in provincial capitals or prefecture-level cities when playing at home, and more in counties.

And the marketing is doing a good job, every time a whole bunch of chess fans come over, everyone is ready.

Especially Xiao Xiao, a new player of the Shandong team, there are often newcomers in the Go League A who say that they are strong, and the opponent's record during this period should not be underestimated.

The reason is that most people don't understand the style of newcomers, and newcomers know very well the methods of you old people, and they are easy to be targeted. ”

Hearing this, Ying Jie nodded, although Xiao Xiao's strength has improved rapidly recently, it is still a bit insufficient to put it on the main force of the First Division.

The reason why I have won a lot recently is also because of the sudden outing, everyone does not know enough about Xiaoxiao, and the young people are making rapid progress, and some of the previous chess games are not of enough reference value.

And other elderly people have too much information, and many times the level has been stereotyped, so it is easy to be targeted.

If it comes to next year's Go League, after everyone gets used to it, it will be difficult to have such an effect.

If Xiao Xiao doesn't hurry up and continue to improve, it is estimated that he will not be able to laugh at that time.
