Almighty Coach

At the University of Oregon, as soon as a gray-haired old man came down from the car, he saw a blonde man coming by.

"Coach Logan, I haven't seen you for a long time! I'm Smart, do you remember me?" The blond man said as he extended his right hand to the white-haired old man.

"You are that reporter, I remember you." The white-haired old man shook hands with each other symbolically and then asked, "Are you looking for me?"

"I heard that the Tian Association has sent you an invitation, I hope you can be the head coach of this session of the national track and field team, I want to know about this situation." Reporter Smart said.

White-haired old coach Logan closed the door and said, "Let's talk while we walk."

The two walked forward in unison, and only listened to coach Rogan ’s reply: “I did receive an invitation from the Tian Association. They hope that I can replace Sebastian and become the head coach of the national team, leading the national team. Participate in this Olympic Games. "

"Have you agreed?" The reporter asked immediately.

"No. I refused." Coach Logan shook his head with a smile.

"Why? It should be a good thing to be the head coach of the national team?" The reporter then asked.

"It is indeed an honor to be the head coach of the national team. I think many coaches are looking forward to leading the world's strongest track and field team to the Olympics, including me." Coach Logan remarked, then said : "But I am old, I am 73 years old this year, let me lead the entire national team of more than 150 athletes, I really can't help it, if I was 20 years younger, I will gladly accept this invitation of."

"I remember more than two decades ago, you were the head coach of the national track and field team." The reporter said with a smile.

"Yeah, so many years have passed. I have worked as an assistant coach of the national team, a deputy head coach of the national team, and a head coach of the national team. I have served the U.S. national track and field team for 20 years. Years. I have a deep feeling for the national team. But the years are not forgiving! Now, I really ca n’t keep up with the energy. As the head coach of the track and field team in college, I can still cope, but the country Forget it, team. "Logan shook his head again.

...

After sending away the reporter, Coach Logan's face showed a contemptuous smile.

His assistant came over and asked softly, "Coach, I still don't understand why you rejected Tian Xie's invitation."

"What do you think?" Logan asked.

"It's definitely not your physical cause. Others don't understand your physical condition, but I know you are still alive and well. With your current body and energy, it is absolutely no problem to be the head coach of the national team." The assistant replied.

"Yeah, in terms of physical strength and energy, I really have no problem. But the current US national team is a hot potato, and I don't want to cause myself so much trouble." Coach Logan replied.

"I don't quite understand what you mean. How much have our American track and field team always been the most powerful in the world?" The assistant said.

Coach Logan pointed to the chair next to him, motioned for his assistant to sit down, and then said: "There are 154 athletes in this national track and field team, and 73 people involved in the recent doping scandal, It's about to reach half. But who can guarantee that the remaining half of the athletes must be innocent? And if there are 73 fewer people, you must choose 73 people from the replacements, but who is there? Can you guarantee that all the athletes who come on the bench are innocent? "

"So this time the national team is destined to be a shortage of major generals. Most of our athletes may be just the second-class athletes who have just reached the Olympic A standard. Sending such people to the Olympics, how to compete with those powerful opponents? I am afraid that it is the finals Do n’t even go in! If my judgment is correct, this will be the weakest national team in the history of the United States. Leading such a national team to the Olympic Games, failure is destined. "

Coach Logan said with a long sigh: "I have been an assistant coach of the national team, a deputy head coach of the national team, and a head coach of the national team. For me, I have achieved With enough honors, why should I lead a team destined to fail to participate, and it is still an Olympic-level competition, I do n’t want to lose my reputation for a lifetime! "

American Athletic Association. COO Frey stared at the table in his hand, his face dignified.

"In recent days, we have received a total of 27 applications for withdrawal from the national team. In addition to the 73 athletes who were found to have used illegal drugs, we have lost a total of 100 people, which means that our national team has only 54 left. Athletes. "Frey's tone was very low, and it sounded even more desperate.

"It seems that the impact of this doping scandal has completely exceeded our expectations. The 27 people who applied for withdrawal must have been worried about being detected by the international anti-doping organization, so they took the initiative to withdraw." Tian Xie CEO His despair is not much less than that of Frey, and he then asks: "How about the substitute athlete?"

Frey looked at another form, and then reported: "In the first batch, we sent a total of 73 letters. In order to replace the 73 people who were found to be using illegal drugs, only 23 people agreed to join the national team. The remaining 50 people either refused or did not reply within the stipulated time. Counting these 23 people, we now have a total of 77 people and we still have more than 70 gaps to fill. "

"In the past, everyone was rushing to enter the national team, but now the strict investigation of illegal drugs, they will not come." Williams's ironic smile on his face, and then said "then according to the ranking of the original trial , Continue to postpone. "

Frey hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Some projects have only eight people in the finals of the trial. If you continue to continue, you may have to pick someone from the eliminated players in the semifinals of the trial."

"It's the only way to get there, and it's no way." Williams replied.

Frey put down the form in his hand and then asked: "What happened to the coach's question? Did Coach Logan agree to coach?"

Williams shook his head: "No ~ www.readwn.com ~ He refused. Not only him, but the famous coaches we invited also rejected us. Too many powerful players were involved In this doping scandal, the strength of the national team this time is too bad, they are definitely not willing to take over this mess. "

"It's awful. In the usual days, when I came to the national team as the head coach, I broke my head, and now when they are most needed, they all hide!" Frey showed an anxious look, and then he continued: "It's only two days since the next national team training. I still can't find a coach. Would you like to postpone the training for a few days?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. The training notice was sent out very early." Williams rubbed his temples sadly, and continued: "I plan to let Rivers act as the head coach temporarily. He also signed up for the country before. The selection of the team's head coach is only that they didn't even enter the interview. "

"Rivers? Is he too young? And his qualifications are not enough. Can he do it?" Frey was obviously not optimistic about the coach named Rivers.

Williams spread his hands helplessly: "As you said, the next national team training is only two days. This short time, this Rivers is our only choice."
