Sha Baojun was silent, and Li Guodong could not find a reason to object, so he could only sit there and sulk.
Chu Weidong has been completely impressed by Li Dai's plan. With the results of the Asian Games relay championship as a backing, Chu Weidong has dispelled the last doubts in his heart.
It was decided that the sprint team would specialize in relay races. Chu Weidong asked Li Dai to write a detailed report and submit it to the team.
Then they started to discuss other projects, but Sha Baojun, Liu Hua and Li Guodong were on pins and needles, their minds no longer in the conference room.
The meeting lasted for more than four hours and ended at around 12 noon. Everyone dragged their tired bodies out of the conference room, and many people walked directly towards the canteen.
"Old Li, wait for me!" A voice sounded from behind. Li Guodong turned around and saw Sha Baojun and Liu Hua walking over quickly.
"Isn't this Lao Sha!" Li Guodong glanced at Sha Baojun mockingly, and then said: "Don't you think Shen Kun is too old and can't stand Li Dai's eyes, so he won't be picked out? It's good now. , they created a relay team and the relay team needs four people. Shen Kun, Zhu Yueyang and Chen Tingshan combined, there are still three missing and one missing!"
"Old Li, now is not the time to talk about this." Liu Hua acted as a peacemaker, and he continued: "We have to think of countermeasures. We cannot let that Dai Li pick away the athletes we have trained so hard."
"Thinking of countermeasures now? It's too late! Didn't we already decide during the meeting just now? We will specialize in relay races." Li Guodong shook his head disdainfully: "There is no use in hindsight. I think you might as well hug that Li With Dai’s thighs, maybe I can even fight him!”
"Old Li, what are you talking about?" Liu Hua was a little angry.
"Okay, Liu Hua, Lao Li is not going to cooperate with us anymore. Let's find someone else. When Chen Tingshan is picked away, it has nothing to do with us. We can keep Shen Kun and Zhu Yueyang from being picked away. That's fine." Sha Baojun pulled Liu Hua and looked like he was leaving.
Li Guodong also knew that Sha Baojun was the most scheming and usually had the most ideas. At this time, he must have thought of a way to deal with Li Dai.
"Wait a minute!" Li Guodong immediately called out to the two of them. He walked closer and asked, "Lao Sha, have you got an idea?"
"What? Lao Li, are you interested?" Sha Baojun seemed to have expected Li Guodong's reaction.
Li Guodong nodded: "Lao Sha, last night, I suggested that we advance and retreat together."
"Okay, let's talk while walking." Sha Baojun waved his hand, and the three of them walked towards the canteen.
The three of them were walking on the side of the road. When there was no one around, Sha Baojun said: "The plan proposed by Li Dai to specialize in relay races has been passed at the meeting. This is a decision from above. Our kind of Ordinary coaches can't change it."
"What should we do? Are we going to let Dai Li take away our athletes?" Li Guodong asked eagerly.
"Of course not. Although we can't change the decision at the meeting, the athletes can." Sha Baojun smiled gloomily, and then said: "Didn't Dai Li want to pick someone to join the relay team? Our athletes just don't go His relay team, that’s all!”
"This is the team's decision. Coach Chu has already made the decision. How can the athletes say 'no'? Their arms can't twist their thighs." Li Guodong asked with a frown.
"Of course it won't work with just one or two people, but it won't necessarily happen if there are more people, right? More people are more powerful. One arm can't twist a thigh, two arms can't twist a thigh. If there are ten or eight arms, can't they twist one thigh? ?" Sha Baojun said.
"Lao Sha, I understand. What do you mean, let us encourage more athletes to boycott the relay team?" Li Guodong took a breath of air: "In this case, the players will be punished. You should know that as a Athletes, if you don't accept the arrangements from your superiors, what will be the consequences! That will affect an athlete's career."
"Don't forget that the law does not punish the masses!" Sha Baojun continued: "As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. If more people boycott and participate in the relay team, will the team still punish them? I thought At that time, the team may consider whether the decision to focus on relay races is the right one. What’s more, we have legitimate reasons.”
"What valid reason?" Li Guodong asked immediately.
"Didn't Dai Li propose that he should specialize in relay races? He also mentioned a premise, which is to give up individual events. Isn't this a good reason? The opportunity of the National Games is so rare, and the athletes have trained so hard for so long , it is normal to hope to make achievements in personal projects." Sha Baojun continued.
Li Guodong did not continue speaking, as if he was thinking about Sha Baojun's proposal.
Liu Hua said: "I think Lao Sha's method is feasible. From the perspective of athletes, they definitely hope to achieve results in individual events. They may not be willing to let them participate in relay races."
"We need to encourage more people. In addition to the athletes under our command, we should also bring in all the players who are good at it. It's best to make some noise. The bigger the noise, the better!" Sha Baojun continued. added.
Li Guodong finally nodded: "Okay, I will do as you say! We will allocate them later and talk to the athletes!"
…
Dai Li was busy until around three in the morning, and finally finished writing a detailed report outlining the training plan for the relay race.
The next morning, this plan appeared on Chu Weidong's desk.
Chu Weidong carefully read the training plan for the relay race, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"This training plan is very good. It not only meets the high level of the national team, but also takes into account the actual situation of our team." Chu Weidong said, picked up a document and handed it to Li Dai: "About the relay I have already signed and approved the selection of athletes for the team. You can choose the athletes for the sprint group."
"Thank you, coach!" Dai Li took the document and prepared to go to the training ground to select people.
At this moment, the phone rang. Chu Weidong picked up the receiver and said, "Hey, I'm Chu Weidong, what!"
Chu Weidong's face suddenly became serious, and he even looked at Dai Li in front of him involuntarily.
Dai Li sensitively noticed that the matter seemed to be related to him.
"Okay, I understand. Let them go to the conference room first. I'll be there later." Chu Weidong put down the phone, then raised his head and said to Li Dai: "Xiao Li, regarding the selection, you go first." Wait a moment."
"Is something wrong?" Dai Li asked subconsciously.
"There are some athletes who are unwilling to give up their individual events and are resistant to joining the relay team. I'm going to find out what's going on now." Chu Weidong said, standing up.
Dai Li suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
…
Eleven athletes gathered in the conference room. They are all sprinters, and they are also a relatively strong group in the sprint group.
"Coach Chu, I heard that if you join the relay team, you have to specialize in relay races and can't participate in individual events? Is that true? If you really want to give up individual events, I won't practice relay running!" Chen Tingshan said. .
"Coach Chu, I am already 24 years old this year. In two years, my body will start to decline. It is estimated that I will not be able to participate in the next National Games. I have prepared for this National Games for a long time. , I just want to fight for the last time, I don’t want to run in the relay race!" Shen Kun's voice was filled with anxiety.
"Coach Chu, the opportunity of the National Games is so rare. It can only happen once in so many years. I didn't go to the last National Games. I don't want to miss it again in this National Games. On the 100-meter dash I am the best in the team in terms of my level. If I were asked to give up the 100-meter dash and focus on relay races, I would not accept it!" Zhu Yueyang looked stubborn.
Several other sprinters also expressed their opinions, expressing their unwillingness to give up individual events and focus on relay races.
Chu Weidong frowned. He did not expect that the decision to specialize in relay races would be boycotted by so many athletes.
If it's just one or two people, that's it. There are now eleven athletes who have stood up to boycott, and they are all elites in the sprint group of the track and field team. Almost all of them have the ability to participate in the qualifying competition of the National Games.
This forced Chu Weidong to reconsider the decision made at yesterday's meeting to specialize in relay races.
"It's normal for athletes to be unwilling to give up individual events after practicing for so many years. This is just the opinions of the participating players. Maybe many of the coaches also have opinions on this decision, but they just didn't raise it for the sake of face. That's all. I think this thing is too simple, so we should hold another meeting to discuss it." Chu Weidong thought silently.
…
The fact that the sprinters collectively came to Chu Weidong to "petition" spread quickly throughout the track and field team, and Dai Li also learned about it immediately.
For this matter, Chu Weidong had to summon the coaches of the sprint team to have a new meeting to discuss.
In the conference room, Chu Weidong held up the training plan written by Li Dai and said: "This is the training plan for the relay race written by Coach Li. I have read it. It is very well written and very feasible. Sex, I think we can give it a try. But the problem we are facing now is that our athletes are resistant to this, and some athletes are unwilling to give up the opportunity to participate in individual events and refuse to participate in the relay team."
"Coach, how about we try to do some ideological work for the athletes?" someone next to him said.
"Doing work? I'm afraid it's not easy! Today's athletes are not the same as before. In the past, athletes could tell them about the overall situation, the collective, and dedication. Many of today's athletes are only children. It’s useless to focus on yourself and talk to them about collective efforts and dedication!” It was Li Guodong who spoke, and he was the first to jump out and pour cold water on them.
Everyone has already seen that Li Guodong is here to sing the opposite.
"What Coach Li Guodong said makes sense. I am also an only child, so I can understand the thoughts of an only child." Instead, Li Dai laughed, and then asked: "Coach Li Guodong knows our athletes so well, he must have thought of a solution. , why not say it and let me learn from it too."
Li Guodong was immediately speechless. He was here specifically to find trouble. There was no solution!
No one else expected that in a blink of an eye, Li Dai would overtake Li Guodong's army. Everyone looked at Li Guodong with a half-smile, wanting to know how he would respond.
Fortunately, at this time, Sha Baojun stood up and rescued Li Guodong. Although the two people usually do not deal with each other, now they have formed an alliance and have a common enemy. It can be said that they are both prosperous and destructive. Sha Baojun naturally wants to speak for Li Guodong.
I just heard Sha Baojun say: "Coach, I have an immature suggestion. This athlete's resistance to the relay competition is just because he is worried about not being able to participate in the individual event. We might as well cancel this restriction and just participate in the individual event as usual, and the relay You must also participate in competitions. This way athletes will not have any resistance."
"When training, should we train for individual events or for relay races?" Dai Li asked immediately.
"Since we all have to compete, we have to train, including individual events and relay races. We were like this before." Sha Baojun said with a smile.
However, Dai Li shook his head slightly. With the strength of the sprinters in the track and field team, if they were distracted from training for individual events, the performance of the relay would definitely not improve much. And Dai Li’s plan to win gold in the National Games , naturally it came to nothing.
Chu Weidong also knew that Sha Baojun's so-called "immature suggestion" was just to disrupt the situation, so he asked: "Does anyone else have any good suggestions?"
Everyone shook their heads, some were silent, and the conference room suddenly became quiet.
Chu Weidong's expression gradually turned cold. He could feel that following Li Dai's plan could help the Hanbei Province track and field team achieve a breakthrough result in the National Games. But these coaches of the sprint team are not willing to cooperate. If they don't cooperate, that's it. They are still causing trouble.
Chu Weidong can be the head coach of the Hanbei Provincial Track and Field Team, and his IQ must be online. He also knows that the plan proposed by Li Dai will definitely touch the interests of some people, and Li Guodong and Sha Baojun, one is the opposite and the other A random mess can prove this point.
"Coach, I also have an immature idea." Dai Li's voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone in the conference room looked at Dai Li. Everyone knew that Dai Li was planning to take action.
Li Dai said: "Actually, in the relay race, it mainly depends on the cooperation between the players. If the performance is 0.1 seconds slower, you can make up for it with a perfect cooperation, so I don't have high requirements for the players' level. Since our Athletes are resistant, so I think it’s better to let them sign up voluntarily and be willing to run the relay, and then I will select five or six people from the registered athletes to form a relay team.”
"The training plan still follows my previous plan. Once you join the relay team, you must give up individual competitions and focus on relay training. We can talk about this up front and tell the athletes before signing up."
Chu Weidong glanced at Li Dai in surprise. In Chu Weidong's view, Li Dai had given in.
"Xiao Li, our team's players are inherently weaker than other provincial teams. If we don't select some outstanding athletes, our competitiveness will be greatly reduced at the National Games." Chu Weidong reminded .
"If your skills are not as good as others, you should practice more. What I need is an athlete who can focus on the relay race wholeheartedly." A confident smile appeared on Dai Li's face, and he continued: "But there is one thing, I have to state in advance that this Once the relay team is formed, there will be no adjustments to the personnel. Whether it is the National Games qualifying round, the main competition, or even the finals, these are the people! They will not change again."
After hearing what Li Dai said, Sha Baojun and Li Guodong couldn't help but look at each other. What Li Dai meant was to cut off other athletes from participating in the relay race. If the athletes do not sign up, or are not selected by Dai Li after signing up, they are destined to miss the 4x100m relay race in this National Games.
"This Li Dai has the guts to force athletes to choose between individual competition and relay competition, but let's get into the main competition first!" Sha Baojun thought proudly.
