“Where is Zhou Qi going?” this drama lasted for more than a year and had preliminary results this summer. According to the media, the Sichuan team promised to invite Zhou Qi with a reward of 6 million yuan to represent Sichuan in the 2025 National Games.

This will be the fourth consecutive National Games for Zhou Qi. He represented Liaoning team three times before (participating in the youth group competition in 2013), winning three gold medals for the latter. Zhou Qi from Liaoning Fuxin basketball school is certainly a talent trained by Liaoning youth training. It is natural for the National Games to represent Liaoning, but this time, will he represent Sichuan team?

According to Wang Ping, director of Hunnan sports training base of Liaoning Sports Development Center, the price of 6 million yuan issued by Sichuan sports bureau of Liaoning province is unacceptable. Liaoning sports bureau hopes that the competition department of the general administration will reject the registration of Zhou Qi in Sichuan province.

Wang Ping said: “In our communication with Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi also said that on the registration issue of the 2025 national games, if Liaoning’s appeal succeeds, Sichuan loses the right to register, then he is willing to represent Liaoning unconditionally in the 15th National Games. The heads of relevant departments of the State Sports General Administration also promised that they would seriously study the complaints of Liaoning sports bureau and make true verdict.”

In fact, in the history of the National Games, it is not a strange thing to represent other provinces for a long time. Bartel, the former main domestic Center, represented three different teams participating in the National Games and became the “transfer king” in the men’s basketball court of the National Games “.

Bartel, one of the three “mobile great walls” in China men’s basketball, has been staying in Beijing since the youth training era and the early CBA. From 1993 to 2005, Bartel also represented Beijing men’s basketball in the four consecutive national games, which was a normal state in the year of the whole movement.

But by 2007, battle and Beijing team had completely “broken. Due to the pursuit of higher salary, Bartel did not hesitate to take a one-year break, in return for freedom, and joined the Xinjiang team instead. His transfer directly changed the fate of the two teams, and even affected the pattern of CBA-Xinjiang jumped from a playoff marginal team to a three-in-a-row finals and a strong team competing with Guangdong; however, Beijing fell from the regular customers of the top four to the point where it was difficult to enter the playoffs.

Bartel’s strong strength in CBA also made him a “hot cake” in the National Games “. As a result, some teams pursuing the achievements of the National Games began to attract Bartel to join with the Kingyuan policy, especially occupying the right place and the host.

In the National Games held in Shandong in 2009, the Shandong team with insufficient local strength at that time used their brains in recruiting and strengthening, and they extended an olive branch to Bartel.

This is the second time that the Shandong team invited Bartel to join us. The last time was when the latter gained freedom in CBA in 2007, Bartel had signed a contract with the Shandong team with an annual salary of 3 million. Only because the rich Xinjiang team intervened and offered a higher price, Battel changed his mind and finally spent it in Xinjiang.

This time, in order to impress Batel, the Shandong team did not hesitate to do anything. There were only eight games in the National Games that Bartel needed to play, and it was reported that he got a reward of 2 million yuan. In addition, it also includes a 140-square-meter mansion in the prosperous area of Jinan city.

It is understood that the house price per square meter in this area of Jinan at that time exceeded 10,000 yuan, that is to say, the actual value of this mansion was equivalent to 1.4 million yuan. Bartel’s total reward for this National Games is as high as 3.4 million yuan, with an average score of 425000 yuan for a game (only 40 minutes for a single game in the National Games). The cost performance is not high.

There must be a brave man in under the heavy reward, and Bartel’s return to Shandong team is also considerable. He led the team to win 5 consecutive games in the group match. The eighth-strong team and the semi-final team eliminated the Jilin team and the Jiangsu team one after another, but the Guangdong team was invincible in the final. Although it was only one step away from winning, the runner-up’s record had rewritten the history of Shandong men’s basketball national games.

The success of Shandong has set a benchmark for Liaoning, the host of the National Games four years later. In the 2013 National Games, the Liaoning team also aimed at batteler as well. It is understood that they paid at least 3.4 million yuan for the introduction of Bartel, but the cost performance is higher than that of four years ago-this time Bartel only needs to play 5 games, and the single salary is as high as 680000 yuan.

Liaoning team has done this by itself……

The result of Batel’s battle for the Liaoning team was that he entered the final again and lost to the Guangdong team and won the runner-up. However, the competition system of this national games has changed. The team that won the top three in the men’s basketball competition won 3, 2 and 1 gold medals. That is to say, Liaoning won 2 gold for this time.

On behalf of Shandong and Liaoning in the National Games, Bartel only played 13 games in total, and he was crazy to win 6.8 million games, which could be said to be full of money. Shandong men’s basketball achieved the best record in the history of the National Games. The Liaoning team won 2 gold medals, which is worth the money. The final result of these two transfers is happy.

Liaoning and Shandong both benefited from the introduction of Battel, and the cooperation between the two sides in the National Games “Liao Lu a family” also appeared. In 2009, Shandong men’s basketball won the main lineup of the runner-up of the National Games, only Sun Jie and Cao Zhenhua came from Shandong. In addition to Bartel, the other two main positions are occupied by Yang Ming and Liu Xiangtao. The main substitutes include Gu Liye, who are players of Liaoning team.

It turned out that as early as six months before the men’s basketball final stage of the 11th National Games, that is, on April 20, 2009, Liaoning’s third general Yang Ming, Liu Xiangtao and Gu, who had just finished the CBA journey, established their careers, they supported the Shandong team early and participated in the training for preparing for the National Games. From the point of time when joining the Shandong team, it was nearly 4 months earlier than Bartel.

Yang Ming representing Shandong team

The defender Yang Ming played the most important role among the three. In the first round of the group match of the National Games, Yang Ming played the old boss in Liaoning. Yang Ming made a big surprise in the small cast near freethrow line, winning 27 points to help Shandong team win 83-70. If Bartel is the inner core of Shandong in this National Games, Yang Ming is the outer core of the team.

Yang Ming’s CBA career only played for Liaoning team and became a typical representative of “one person and one city. In this temporary transfer of the National Games, he performed very professionally. When talking about the feeling of joining the new team, Yang Ming said: “Sun Jie and others from Shandong team have a good relationship with me. I believe I will be familiar with the new environment soon.” He also set a goal: “I hope I can make a breakthrough on behalf of Shandong team in this national games.”

Yang Ming is not only good at football, but also second to none among domestic players. Among the most handsome players in CBA history selected by the media in 2019, Yang Ming was elected as the first, and Gong Xiaobin ranked second. It was Gong Xiaobin who coached the Shandong team in the 2009 National Games. Therefore, the first handsome and the second handsome in CBA history once had a brief feeling of being handsome.

There are still many team changes like battle and Yang Ming in the history of the National Games. For example, the Shandong team spent 2.3 million yuan to invite Zhang Zhaoxu to play in the National Games in 2013, li Muhao represents the Hubei team’s teammates in the CBA home team Beijing. As we all know, the National Games should reflect the competitive level of each place, and local youth training athletes should represent each Local Sports Association, which is the biggest difference from CBA. But why do loan and transfer phenomena often appear in the National Games?

In fact, the National Games in the early years did follow the principle of “registration of local athletes and only representing the provinces and cities. Although there is also talent exchange, the scale is very limited. For example, in 1987, only the host Guangdong opened the first place to introduce talents. In the 1997 games, there were only 179 athletes communicating across provinces.

However, in the eighth National Games in 1997, the predecessor of the State Sports General Administration, the State Sports Commission, considered that the level of sports development in various regions was extremely unbalanced and had their own advantageous projects, which was easy to form talent hoarding and waste. In order to give more excellent athletes opportunities to participate in the competition, policies have been introduced to encourage talent exchange in the National Games. In this year’s National Games, the number of athletes who agreed to communicate reached 800, accounting for about 1/10 of the total number of participants.

Since then, the scale of talent exchange in the National Games has been further expanded. In the ninth National Games in 2001, the total number of athletes who agreed to communicate exceeded 2,000, and the number of exchanges in the 2005 National Games also reached 1435. Under the background of such a policy, the basketball project, which had already had great experience in professional league transfer, became more familiar with the player communication.

The original intention of talent exchange in the National Games is to make athletes more reasonable and balanced distribution, but in actual operation, it has become a tool that each team is good at calculating in order to compete for gold medals and medals. For example, the third general of Liaoning men’s basketball supported the Shandong team to participate in the 11th National Games. The return of Shandong was to exchange some outstanding players from women’s basketball, men’s volleyball team and women’s volleyball team to Liaoning, and promised to fully support the host Liaoning in some projects at the 12th National Games.

Such cross-project talent exchanges have broken through the boundaries of professional league transfer operations, and even at the expense of CBA club interests. Jiangsu men’s basketball, where the sports bureau has a strong voice, had such a wonderful operation: Han Shuo, the main rotation guard of the team, transferred to Bayi team in 2010. In this transaction, the CBA Jiangsu team failed to obtain the transfer fee or exchange players, which can be said to have sent out a rotating general in vain.

Han Shuo was sent to Bayi by Jiangsu

What actually benefited from it was the Jiangsu Sports Bureau where Han Shuo’s personnel relationship was located. Because they believe that in the 2013 National Games, the hope of winning the championship in Jiangsu men’s basketball is slim, and it is better to strengthen the women’s basketball lineup. Therefore, Han Shuo was sent to the Bayi team in exchange for Chen Lisa and Zhang Xiaoni, the two main players of the Bayi women’s basketball national games. In this way, Jiangsu women’s basketball, which was originally powerful outside, strengthened the internal weaknesses and won the runner-up in the National Games. According to special rules, it added two gold medals to the Jiangsu delegation.

In order to limit the negative influence of athlete communication, the General Administration of Sports began to take measures to continuously issue the “national athlete registration and exchange management measures” to standardize the talent exchange in the National Games. The 2013 games began in 2017, and the medal list was canceled. In the atmosphere of weakening the gold medal competition, the above wonderful phenomenon of “borrowing people” for medals has been rare in the recent two national games, and the transfer exchange of the National Games has generally become normal.

Ten years ago, in 2013, Sun Yue, who had been wandering in overseas league matches but had been out of CBA for many years, finally returned to CBA league matches with the opportunity to represent Beijing men’s basketball to participate in the National Games of that year, since then, I have played for the Beijing team for many years.

The last time Zhou Qi played CBA, he had to go back to 2021 two years ago. Now he has returned to the domestic arena through the National Games, and has a turning point?
