Silence filled the conference room, and Dai Li's voice was like a sudden thunder in the silent night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"It's Dai Li!" The coaches in the conference room looked at Dai Li one after another.
Everyone's eyes were different. Some people seemed to appreciate Li Dai's initiative to ask for help, while others felt that Li Dai was too reckless, while others showed gloating expressions.
"Xiao Li, do you plan to train the relay team? You have to think clearly, you only have one day." Xue Li paused and then said: "And even if it is just one day of training, it is impossible to let it go You try your best, and there is a competition in the evening, so you must save more energy for the contestants, and your training intensity cannot be increased too much. You have to think about it carefully."
Dai Li nodded: "Coach, I understand everything, I have confidence!"
Xue Li thought for a while: "After all, this is of great importance. You are the most junior in the national team. Just relying on confidence is not enough. You have to show real materials. You can't touch your upper lip to your lower lip. I will leave this final character to you. Why don’t you tell me your thoughts first! Let’s discuss it together.”
Li Dai immediately said: "Niu Guohong's starting reaction speed is relatively fast, and as a substitute this time, he has been practicing the relay race, so I plan to let him run the first leg. Yang Sijie is a runner who specializes in the 100 meters. He is fast. , has strong explosive power, there should be no problem for him to run the second leg. Zhao Yue’s cornering level is very high, and his performance has always been relatively stable, so let him run the third leg. These three players have all participated in relay races before Training, handing over the baton does not require much training time.”
"The key is Fang Haiquan. Fang Haiquan is not a sprinter, so he can only run the fourth leg, and he must be trained in baton handover techniques." Dai Li paused, and then said: "Actually, he only needs baton handover technical training. That’s it, there shouldn’t be any problem if you sharpen your weapons before the battle.”
Xue Li nodded slightly, acknowledging Dai Li's point of view.
Fang Haiquan is not a professional sprinter. He does not have the skills to run curves, so he cannot run the first and third curves. He can only run the second and fourth straights.
Under normal circumstances, the fourth leg is given to the fastest person in the team. So Yang Sijie should be asked to run the fourth leg. However, the athlete running the fourth leg only needs to take over the baton without handing over. Compared with the baton, the athlete in the second baton needs to both hand over the baton and take over the baton, which means that the athlete in the second baton must master one more technique of handing over the baton.
The technique of handing over the baton is much more difficult than the technique of taking over the baton. In just one day, it is impossible for Fang Haiquan to fully master the two techniques of handing over and taking over the baton, so let's simply let Fang Haiquan run the fourth baton, so that he only needs to learn a relatively simple one Just take over the baton technique.
In fact, what Li Dai said is relatively simple truth, even a top sports coach can understand it. The coaches of these national teams in the conference room would not understand! If it were anyone on the scene, they would adopt Li Daidan's arrangement. It's just that no one wants to take over this hot potato, so they are unwilling to come forward.
Xue Li thought for a few more seconds, and then said: "Well, I think everyone understands the principle, but the specific implementation is another matter. Although you have studied in the national team for a period of time, but here you are Every coach has more training experience than you, what advantages do you think you have in front of them?"
Xue Li didn't mean to belittle Li Dai, but he meant it to others. The implication was that a coach like Li Dai, who can only be regarded as a rookie in the national team, dares to take on important responsibilities. You old people You Tiao is so cowardly to back down at the critical moment!
After hearing this, several coaches blushed and lowered their heads.
But Li Dai said: "I brought Fang Haiquan out when he was in the Hanbei Provincial Youth Team. We are relatively familiar with each other, so I came to Fang Haiquan for training. There is no need to run in. The training speed will be faster." It’s faster, I think that’s my advantage.”
"Yes, we do need to train speed now." Xue Li glanced at Dai Li with encouraging eyes, and then looked at everyone: "I think we can let Dai Li give it a try, what do you think? If anyone thinks that Dai Li is too young No, there is no way to handle this task, so you can bring it up and let’s discuss it again!”
Of course, no one would object at this time. If anyone objected, Xue Li would take over this hot potato by saying, "You go ahead." Now that Dai Li is willing to take the lead, everyone is looking forward to it.
…
Early the next morning, the four runners in the relay race began training.
In fact, the training for a relay race is mainly about practicing the coordination of handing over the baton. Everyone is a sprinter, so there is no need to practice explosive power and speed in the training for a relay race.
When handing over the baton in a relay race, there is a relay zone, which is 20 meters long. Athletes can only pass the baton within the relay zone. Handover of the baton beyond the relay zone is a foul and will be disqualified.
Athletes in the first level will start from a standstill. Athletes in the second level and above will have a run-up process when they start. The athlete starts running first, and at the same time, the athletes behind him catch up, and the two complete the handover of the baton during the movement.
When handing over the baton, the athlete behind is the commander, and the athlete in front must obey the command from behind.
The normal process is that when the passing player approaches the taking over player, he will shout "reach out", and the taking over player in front will extend his hand behind him, but at this time, his eyes should still be looking forward.
The runner behind will put the baton into the hands of the runner in front, and at the same time shout "stop". After hearing the instruction, the runner in front will hold the baton tightly, retract his arm, and then start running with all his strength.
Of course, there are other slogans that will replace "reach out" and "hand back". Sometimes the athletes have better tacit understanding, and even only need to hum, and the players in front can receive the instructions.
When handing over the baton, the most common problem is baton dropping. The person taking over the baton stops the baton prematurely, or the person handing over the baton hands it out at an inappropriate time, which will cause the baton to drop.
The whole process seems very complicated to describe, but when athletes operate it, it can be completed within one second. Some teams that are good at relay races can even save 0.2 seconds by relying on this process of handing over the baton.
…
At noon, several coaches who had no competition duties walked out of the cafeteria. When they passed the temporary training ground, they happened to see Dai Li and the four players participating in the relay race.
"Half a day has passed. I wonder how Xiao Li's training is going."
"It still looks like it! But the training time in one day is really too short. I just hope they can have better luck and get a medal. It is considered a good result and they can give an explanation."
"I heard from Xiao Li that the long jump champion Fang Haiquan was his disciple when he was in the youth team. So Xiao Li used to be the long jump coach? I thought he had always been the sprint coach!"
"You don't have to expect a provincial youth team to be very regular. Those who are capable should work harder! But your words reminded me that Yang Sijie and Niu Guohong were also disciples of Dai Li when they were at Tsinghua University!"
"Niu Guohong and Zhao Yue have been practicing with Li Dai when they were in the Asian Games training camp. Especially Zhao Yue, I heard that it was Li Dai who recommended him to the Asian Games training camp. The second phase of the training camp a few days ago At that time, Li Dai had been practicing with Zhao Yue until night every day for ten years, you all should know that, right?"
"God rewards hard work. Zhao Yue's hard work paid off. This time he became the Asian Games champion."
"Zhao Yue, Yang Sijie, Niu Guohong, and that Fang Haiquan, so the four people on the relay team are all Li Dai's disciples! Darling, Li Dai is not very old, but he is also famous all over the world!"
"Haha, our national team's relay team has now become the 'Li Jiajun'!"
The coach just casually teased "Li Jiajun", but what he never imagined was that a few years later, these three words "Li Jiajun" would dominate the world's sports world!
