Either of the two reasons mentioned by Liu Hua could allow Dai Li to obtain the position of training team leader.
For Sha Baojun and the other three, the national team is out of reach. They are not even qualified to enter the training camp organized by the national team, but Li Dai is able to gain a foothold in the national team. With this, It was enough to show that Dai Li was better than them, so there was nothing wrong with him serving as a training team leader.
Moreover, Li Dai is also Xue Li's favorite disciple. Xue Li is the second in command of the national track and field team. His disciples and former officials are all over the country, and his influence is extraordinary. With the golden name of "Xue Li's disciple", Li Dai can also be regarded as a training team leader.
Thinking of these two points, Sha Baojun suddenly felt a sense of loss. He had worked hard for this training team leader for so long, and now he didn't even see the dawn of hope, but he was about to be taken away by others.
Sha Baojun took a deep breath and regained some clarity in his mind. He comforted himself and said: "Li Dai is doing well in the national team. He definitely doesn't want to return to our provincial team. I think he is just being punished because of the National Games." He just came back after being called up, and he will definitely return to the national team after the National Games."
"Okay, let's talk about the National Games." Liu Hua continued: "Li Dai is a coach. If he comes back, the team can't let him be the commander-in-chief, right? He will definitely be assigned athletes, Lao Sha, what do you think? Who in the team will be assigned to Dai Li?"
Sha Baojun seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Liu Hua continued: "Li Dai has returned from the national team, and the team will definitely send him the strongest athletes. Our track and field team, the strongest sprinters, is nothing more than three people, Lao Sha, you train Chen Kun; Lao Li, the Chen Tingshan you trained is still the Zhu Yueyang I trained."
Next to him, Li Guodong continued Liu Hua's words and continued: "Lao Sha, if I remember correctly, Shen Kun has been training with you for four years, right? Zhu Yueyang has been training with Liu Hua for more than three years. Although Chen Tingshan It’s been almost two years since I’ve been practicing with me, and now it’s time to show results.”
Li Guodong said, looked at the two of them, and then said: "Li Dai wants to choose one of the three athletes and pick an athlete. This is equivalent to taking away our hard work and dedication in the past two years. Will you be willing to do so? And now It is still a crucial competition like the National Games, and Li Dai wants to take the athletes we have worked so hard to train and go to the National Games to grab the credit!"
"You two called me here just for this matter?" Sha Baojun sat up straight and continued: "To be honest, with the strength of the three athletes, we can pass the qualifying competition of the National Games. Thank God." Well, if you want to win the ranking, it’s basically impossible.”
"Then we can't let Dai Li take away our athletes!" Liu Hua said categorically: "Lao Sha, at this time, the three of us must unite, advance and retreat together, and deal with the outside world as one! We must not let Dai Li take away our athletes. athlete."
"Advance and retreat together, and treat the outside world together?" Sha Baojun rolled his eyes, but a sly smile appeared on his face. He only heard him say: "Li Dai can pick one person at most. The probability of us being picked is even It’s one-third, I don’t think I should be so unlucky to be picked by Dai Li.”
"Lao Sha, what do you mean?" Li Guodong looked anxious.
Sha Baojun smiled and continued: "You just said that Shen Kun has been practicing with me for four years? Four years and eight months! Shen Kun is the oldest of the three, he is already 24 !”
Sha Baojun said, looked at Liu Hua, and then said: "Liu Hua, the Zhu Yueyang who trains with you must be 22 years old this year!"
"Zhu Yueyang will be 22 years old soon." Liu Hua nodded.
"As for Chen Tingshan..." Sha Baojun looked at Li Guodong and said with a smile: "Coach Li, Chen Tingshan was the athlete you discovered at Qingcheng Sports School two years ago, right? Later, you arranged for him to enter the youth team. After one year in the team, he was directly selected by you to join our team. Chen Tingshan should not be 20 years old this year, right?"
When Sha Baojun mentioned the age of the athletes, Li Guodong's expression became a little unnatural.
Sha Baojun continued: "Shen Kun, Zhu Yuehua and Chen Tingshan, the level of the three of them is not much different. But there is a gap in age. If you were Dai Li, who would you choose among the three? Choose a 24-year-old. Or choose someone who is 22 years old, or someone who is less than 20 years old?"
The younger the athlete, the greater the potential. Every coach knows this. When facing three athletes of the same level, any coach with a right mind will choose the younger one.
Sha Baojun picked up the dinner plate with one hand and patted Liu Hua on the shoulder with the other hand: "Old Liu, there is no need for us to worry about this matter. Even if Dai Li comes back, he will not take Shen Kun and Zhu Yueyang away." Yes, you can rest assured!"
Next to him, Li Guodong clenched his fists angrily because Sha Baojun saw through his plan.
Li Guodong couldn't wait to find allies because the athlete he trained, Chen Tingshan, was the youngest and most likely to be picked out by Li Dai.
So Li Guodong brought Sha Baojun and Liu Hua together when he wanted to, and the three reached an agreement to advance and retreat together.
Li Guodong first approached Liu Hua and made some alarmist remarks. Liu Hua was not aware of the age issue, so he agreed to stand on the same front as Li Guodong.
But now when he found Sha Baojun again, Li Guodong's idea was seen through by the wily Sha Baojun. After Li Guodong's prompting, Liu Hua also understood this truth.
Sha Baojun carried his dinner plate and ran to the table next to him. Li Guodong turned to Liu Hua and said, "Old Liu, Lao Sha won't help, but don't worry, let's find someone else..."
"Ah, Lao Li, you eat slowly first, and I'll get a bowl of porridge!" Liu Hua interrupted Li Guodong directly, picked up the plate and left, leaving Li Guodong sitting there alone.
"The human heart is sinister!" Li Guodong couldn't help but curse in his heart.
…
The conference room of the Hanbei Provincial Track and Field Team.
Chu Weidong pointed to Dai Li next to him and said: "Let me introduce, this is Dai Li. You must have heard of his name before, but there should be many people who have never seen him. Since Xiao Li joined After joining our track and field team, he was seconded to the national team, so he didn't show up much in the team. Now that Xiao Li is back, everyone who has met him or not has met him now. Come on, let's Welcome Xiao Li back from the national team!"
Chu Weidong took the lead in applauding as he spoke, and other coaches also clapped.
"Thank you, thank you all." Dai Li quickly stood up, briefly introduced himself, and then said a few polite words such as "I can learn a lot from you."
After Dai Li sat down, Chu Weidong continued: "Without further ado, the qualification race for the National Games is about to begin. I won't elaborate on the importance of the National Games. Everyone knows it. We What we want to discuss today is the National Games. Let’s talk about the events one by one, let’s start with the field events! Coach Wang, please tell me about the preparation arrangements for your long jump team.”
A bald man took out the report materials he had prepared long ago and said calmly: "Our long jump team has specially prepared for this National Games..."
…
The field events include high jump, long jump, triple high jump, triple jump, shot put, discus, javelin and hammer throw. The coaches of each event reported the preparation plan for the National Games in turn, and then Chu Weidong discussed it with them. Some modifications were made to the war preparation plan.
Some projects took a short time, while others took a lot of time. By the time all eight field events were discussed, an hour and a half had passed.
Chu Weidong looked at his watch and said, "We have finished discussing the preparation arrangements for the field events. Now let's talk about the track events. Let's start with the sprint events! Lao Lu, tell me."
A coach in his fifties put on reading glasses, then took out a crumpled document and spoke slowly.
The training team leader for the sprint event is vacant, and Sha Baojun, Liu Hua and Li Guodong are all vying for the position of training team leader. It is not appropriate for one of the three of them to report at this time, and it can easily be regarded as one person. a hint.
So Chu Weidong arranged for the old and steady coach Lu to report. Coach Lu has reached the age of retirement. He will definitely not compete for the position of training team leader. He does not pose much of a threat to Sha Baojun and the other three, and it will not cause others to think too much if he reports.
Coach Lu talked slowly and leisurely, but actually didn't say much. An old coach who is about to retire is basically in a state of clocking in and dawdling, and there is no need to expect him to make any wonderful work reports.
After Coach Lu finished speaking, there was a discussion as usual.
Chu Weidong took the lead in looking at Dai Li.
"Xiao Li, you have been in the national team for so long, you are coach Xue Li's favorite student, and you have participated in heavyweight events like the Asian Games. You are an expert in sprint training. Tell us about you first. What’s your opinion!”
