Almighty Coach

In Asian countries, if the track and field events can enter the B standard of the Olympics, it means that they can represent the country to participate in the Olympics. Some sports are not very powerful countries in Europe, Africa and South America, and can also participate in the Olympics if they reach the A standard of the Olympics.

Only the United States, as the world's number one track and field power, the Olympic A standard is only the lowest entry threshold. In any track and field event, there are too many athletes who can meet the Olympic A standard.

Not long ago, Li Dai also came to the scene. At that time, he witnessed that many outstanding athletes were eliminated because they did not enter the top three, and some of them are talented or highly capable athletes because of their performance. Poor and eliminated. Under the detection of Li Dai, he even found that A + talented athletes were out in the first round of the trial. You have to know that A + 's talent is a safe world champion, but he encountered Waterloo in the first round of the trial.

This is how the selection mechanism of American athletes is determined. Winning or losing in World War I, no matter how talented you are, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how famous you are, no matter what honor you have ever won, even if you are a world record holder, As long as it is not possible to qualify from the trials, it will not be able to participate in the Olympics.

Although this selection mechanism is fair, it also makes many excellent athletes miss the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games.

During the trial, when Li Dai was idle, almost every athlete was detected, and he also found a lot of "remaining beads". Some of them failed to qualify because of poor performance, some failed to show their best strength due to training problems, and some did encounter stronger opponents and were eliminated.

In Li Dai's view, such athletes are really a pity. If they are not in the United States, they will definitely get the chance to enter the Olympic stage. But Li Dai did not intend to help them, after all, he was not an athlete he trained himself.

But now it is different. Li Dai wants to become the head coach of the American track and field team. The "remaining beads" that Li Dai discovered at the beginning become important. For example, an athlete with A + talent who was eliminated in the first round of the qualifying round. If Li Dai is trained well, he will definitely win the Olympic title.

Therefore, Li Dai asked Williams to select the athletes for the purpose of recruiting those athletes who have the opportunity to achieve good results in the Olympics. This is also an honor for Li Dai to take over the mess.

Switching to any other coach and taking over the current American track and field team is doomed to a failure. The clever woman can't cook without rice. Even if the coach is even more powerful, the athletes are not good enough.

But Li Dai was able to find some buried but very powerful athletes. If these athletes successfully join the US team, the overall strength of the US team will not be greatly reduced.

Li Dai actually came prepared.

...

After listening to Li Dai's request, Williams did not immediately agree, but fell into thought.

It is normal for any coach to select athletes in any country, but the United States is different. The right to participate in the individual projects of the American team is basically determined by the selection competition. This rule has lasted for decades.

Now Li Dai proposes to select athletes, which undoubtedly breaks the tradition of the US team and violates the rules of the US team that lasted for decades. Of course, Williams couldn't easily agree to it. Deep down in his heart, he even contradicted Li Dai's request.

Breaking the tradition is not an easy task, and Williams has more considerations. Williams was very worried. Once Li Dai ’s request was accepted, the future national team coach would also make the same request.

After thinking for a long time, Williams finally said: "Coach Lee, the United States team has always determined the contestants by trial competition. This has been the case for decades. Your request does not meet our rules."

The implication of Williams was that he did not intend to promise Li Dai's request.

Li Dai then persuaded: "Mr. Williams, I did not intend to violate your rules and have no intention to provoke your traditions, but now the first problem we are facing is that we cannot even get the athletes in the competition. This is also our The problem to be solved first. You asked me to be the head coach, did n’t you just solve the problem? "

"The so-called extraordinary time is to use the extraordinary method, and now there is only one week left before the registration deadline given by the International Olympic Committee. If we follow the original selection procedure step by step, the time is too late, and I also need Time to train and integrate the team. If this is not possible, I can hardly guarantee the performance of the players. "

Williams closed his brows for a moment and finally nodded: "Well, Coach Li, you convinced me, but I hope you can submit the list of athletes three days before the International Olympic Committee deadline. Come up. "

"No problem." Li Dai nodded and agreed to come down.

...

Seeing Li Dai's figure drifting away, Frey whispered: "Mr. Williams, do you really want that Li Dai to choose athletes himself?"

"I have already promised him, can't I regret it!" Williams said.

"But we have never had this precedent. In the past, we used the selection to determine the athletes. UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com," Frei continued.

"It's now this time, will we still have to try another trial?" Williams smiled like an old fox, and then said: "I know what you want to say, you think I gave it That Li Dai has too much power, right? "

"I have this idea." Frei admitted without hesitation.

"Do n’t forget, what is the purpose of our intention to find a Chinese to be the head coach. We just need a suitable scapegoat, so it ’s okay to give him a little power. Moreover, the choice of athletes, you really think it is one Power? "

Without waiting for Frey to answer, Williams asked himself: "In my opinion, this is not a power, but a chore. There is only a little more than a week, but we have to fill up six or seventy. An athlete, this task is very difficult. Originally, I was still having a headache for this matter. Now it ’s okay, someone will help us solve the problem. "

"At the Olympics, if the performance of the American track and field team is not good enough, we have more reason to blame Li Dai. He is the head coach, and the sports are also selected by him personally, but the results are very bad, so they failed. He should be responsible for the responsibility! "
