Almighty Coach

"I just signed a three-year contract with the sponsor. At least in the next three years, Chen Zhen's training and overseas competition fees are no need to worry." Chen Jianguo's voice rang in the mobile phone, revealing a feeling of joy.

Li Dai looked at his watch. Although Los Angeles was in the middle of the day, it was early in the country, and it was rare that Chen Jianguo could still maintain such a high mood in the middle of the night.

As Li Dai said, although Chen Zhen lost the game, he became famous in one battle. In the first round of the US Open, Basel played four sets and seven tie-breakers, plus a long set to win. His opponent will naturally attract people's attention. Everyone wants to know, what kind of opponent can give Basel brings such trouble.

Chen Zhen has also won the favor of many sponsors. After he returned to China, he had several advertisement endorsement contracts to take the initiative to come to the door, and the most sincere is still a car brand, giving him a three-year five million ad Endorsement. For a car brand, five million is nothing but a few cents, and selling a few cars earns it, but for Chen Zhen, this is a solution to his urgent need.

Professional tennis players usually spend a lot of money. Professional tennis is a relatively expensive sport. For free agents, equipment, training grounds, coaches, and travel expenses in the course of the game all need to be borne by the athletes. According to estimates, this sum Money is required to guarantee about 40,000 US dollars a year, and Asian tennis games are relatively small, so Asian players may spend slightly more.

According to the statistics of the International Tennis Federation, nearly half of the professional players registered by the International Tennis Federation do not receive a penny bonus all year round, and 96% of the tennis players participating in the official competition I can't get even one point in a year.

According to another statistics, in tennis, the bonus of men ’s players can maintain the basic balance of income is 336, and the female player is 253, which is lower than the professional players of this world ranking, the bonus is not enough to maintain He participated in the competition, it can be said to be in debt.

Looking at this data alone, in men ’s tennis, the world ranking 350 is equivalent to the player ’s “food and clothing line”. Of course, this data does not include the sponsorship of advertising endorsements. For athletes, even if there is no world ranking, as long as there is enough sponsorship fee, they can fly around the world to compete.

Chen Zhen's world ranking has just entered the top 200. Before that, his world ranking was also outside the three or four hundred. This is equivalent to wandering in the "food and clothing line". The score is slightly worse, and he will be in debt. So for Chen Zhen, the endorsement of 5 million ads in the past three years is really a timely rain. He does not have to worry about the cost of going abroad, and he has the money to hire a high-level foreign tennis coach.

Ended the call with Chen Jianguo, Li Dai also showed a relaxed smile.

The strength of domestic men ’s tennis is inherently weak, and the tennis player ’s living environment is also very bumpy. Those who have good economic conditions at home can say that the average working class ca n’t really afford a professional player. Like Chen Zhen, although his talent is not the best, but he is also a top tennis talent in China. It can help him and improve his competition and training environment. It is also a good thing for the development of domestic tennis.

Li Dai turned on the computer and checked the status of the US Open. At this point, the US Open has entered the stage of finalization. Although King Basel had some bumps in the first round of the game, but then it was smooth sailing, and went directly to the final. The championship is just around the corner.

Just as Li Dai was browsing the latest sports news, the voice of the phone rang and it was a call from the receptionist at the front desk.

"Boss, I just received an invitation letter signed by the Lawrence World Sports Association. They invited you to participate in the Lawrence Sports Awards ceremony." The front desk said.

"Got it, send the invitation letter to my office." Li Dai said.

Seeing this invitation letter, Li Dai knew that he had entered the list of candidates for the Lawrence Award.

The Lawrence Award is the most influential award in the world of sports and the only global sports award ceremony. The awarding time of the Lawrence Awards is basically at the beginning of each year, and the awards are also aimed at individuals and groups that have made contact contributions to world sports in the past year.

Each award of the Lawrence Award is first nominated by more than 2,000 senior sports reporters from more than 70 countries and regions as six individuals or groups as candidates, and then 52 officers of the Lawrence Sports Society vote by secret ballot Winners.

If the previous year coincided with the Olympic Games or the World Cup, the Lawrence Awards will be more inclined to these two sports events when they are selected. For example, when the World Cup was held in the previous year, the best team awards will be awarded to the World Cup champions. For example, the 2007 Lawrence Best Team Award was awarded to Italian men ’s football, the 2011 Best Team Award was awarded to Spanish men ’s football, and in 2015, the German men ’s football team received the award.

This year coincides with the Olympic year, so Lawrence ’s awards, for example, will be more biased towards those athletes and groups that won the Olympics, such as the American track and field team, which has a crazy performance of 27 gold in the Olympics. It is also the largest in the current Lawrence Best Team Award. Popular.

At the same time, this Lawrence also added several awards, such as sports model award, sports charity award, and coach of the year award. And Li Dai has a good chance to win the first Lawrence Coach of the Year award.

Li Dai dialed the phone number of the American Association of Athletics and asked the American Association of Athletics to find out who the other five candidates were. Soon after, he got the details of the other five candidates. "

"Fernando, the head coach of the Portuguese men ’s football team, won the European Cup this year, and he also obtained the candidacy for the best coach. Although the Portuguese team is a strong team, but Europe has no weak players, they can get The European Cup is not easy. "

"Steve, the coach of the NBA Golden State Warriors. The Warriors were also the NBA championship last season. If it is just an NBA championship, it may not be enough to nominate the best coach of Lawrence, but the Warriors refreshed NBA history last season. The record of winning a single season, a single season reached a terrible 73 wins. "

"Helheim, the Ferrari team leader and race engineer of the Formula One World Championship. After the recovery, the car king Helheim seemed to be well adapted to his new job. The Ferrari team regained the team championship and driver last season. Champion. It seems that at the Lawrence Awards, I had another chance to see Helheim again. "

"Henry, the head coach of the Major League Baseball Boston Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox have always been among the strongest players in American professional baseball, and they also won the World Series championship last season. Speaking of which, Coach Henry coached Boston. The Red Sox have been there for more than a decade. The curse of Babe Ruth was also broken by him. In baseball, he is definitely a legendary coach. Perhaps this is why he got the candidate. "

"Mohammed, the head coach of Afghan cricket. In the past two cricket World Cups, the Afghan team has won a semi-finals and a runner-up. This is for a country that is still hit by car bombs from time to time. It's really not easy. "

Looking at the list of the other five candidates, Li Dai feels that he really has an advantage over the other five candidates.

The performance of the American track and field team at the Olympic Games is Li Dai's biggest bargaining chip.

This year's American track and field team suffered from the doping scandal. Before the Olympics, it was completely optimistic about the outside world. Everyone described the American track and field team as the weakest track and field team in history, but Li Dai took this The weak team's counterattacks have achieved the best results in the history of the Olympics and created miracles.

The other five candidates, this year's Portuguese men's football has a first-class European standard, the Golden State Warriors are also the strongest team in the NBA, Ferrari is the king in F1, and the Boston Red Sox have always been the United States. The top presence in the Major League Baseball, these four teams are strong teams to win the championship, and can not be considered a miracle. They are not as good as Li Dai at this point.

And the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Red Sox are also professional teams in the United States. Let them compete with their national teams for awards and are inherently weak. If they really get a certain award in the competition with their national team, but the national team did not get it, it is also a very hateful thing.

As for the cricket in Afghanistan, they are indeed very inspirational, and their achievements can be regarded as a model for the counterattack of the weak team, but Li Daike is the head coach of the American track and field team, which represents the United States. How can Afghanistan compete with his American father Awards?

F1 ’s Helheim, it ’s a bit far-fetched to get him the best coach award. Although Helheim is also the team leader and competition engineer ~ www.readwn.com ~ It is different from coaches in other sports.

Formula One is originally a team sport. To achieve good results, a good driver is not enough. You need a fast enough car. At the same time, the strategy in the race and the tire change of the car will also directly affect the final. Achievements, and the impact is still very large, so the tasks of mechanical engineers and strategic engineers are equally important. The strength of a racing driver needs to be reflected by the car, but also by the entire team behind him. This is not like basketball or football. Give a player a ball and he can show amazing skills to the world.

……

In February, Li Dai returned to China for a year, and before the Lantern Festival, he hurriedly flew to London, England. The new Lawrence World Sports Awards ceremony was held here.

In the first class of the plane, there are various latest magazines and newspapers, including sports, and Li Dai picked up a few newspapers and read them.

"Golden State Warriors Steve missed the Lawrence Awards because of the NBA All-Star Game."

"Boston Red Sox head coach Henry also missed the Lawrence awards ceremony for preseason reasons."

"If people don't come, this award is very difficult to award to you. So it seems that Steve and Henry intentionally gave up this award."
