After get off work, Dai Li waited in the office for another hour, but did not wait for the eighth person to sign up.
Dai Li looked at the registration form in his hand. There were only seven people registered. He needed to choose four contestants and one substitute. In fact, there was not much room for choice.
Li Dai turned on the computer and found the information of these seven athletes in the athlete database, including their previous competition results and team training results, but the results were not satisfactory. Among the seven people, only three are at the mid-range level, while the remaining four are at the mid-to-lower level in the team.
"This is expected. I heard that there were more than a dozen athletes who went to Chu Weidong to 'petition' yesterday. These dozen people will definitely not come to sign up for the relay team. If you exclude them, there will probably be only These are average players.”
However, Li Dai did not feel discouraged. This was not the first time he encountered an athlete who was "fighting against the fifth scum". Li Dai believed that with his own training ability, even an average athlete could become a good player. .
"I can't detect the status of the athletes just by looking at the information on the computer. I'd better wait until I meet the real person, use the detector to take a look, and then decide who to choose! If you're lucky, there might be a surprise. !”
Dai Li thought of Yang Sijie and Fang Haiquan, two A-level talented athletes whom he had discovered.
On the morning of the next day, Dai Li gathered together the seven registered players.
The results of the detection did not surprise Li Dai. Among the seven athletes, there was no genius like Yang Sijie or Fang Haiquan. Their talents were all average. Only one young player had a C talent, and the others had a C- talent. . Moreover, some athletes are relatively old and have almost no potential to tap.
In terms of technology, these seven players also have many flaws. The level of the provincial training team is far inferior to that of the national team, and these people are only at the middle or lower level of the provincial team. Their skills will definitely not be very good, otherwise they would not be able to achieve this kind of performance. .
Dai Li felt like he was trying to pick a general out of a cripple, and finally selected five people.
"Wu Yihao, talent C, 18 years old..." Li Dai muttered the athlete's name.
The young athlete with talent C was naturally the first one selected by Li Dai. His name was Wu Yihao. He was only 18 years old this year. He was only selected from the youth team last year. He was considered a newcomer to the track and field team.
For young athletes, it is inevitable that their skills will be a little rough. Moreover, at the age of 18, the body is not fully grown yet, which is worse than the peak age of 24 or 25 years old. As a newcomer to the track and field team, the competition Opportunities are relatively few, so Wu Yihao is destined to miss this National Games. If he wants to compete in the National Games, he can only participate in the relay race.
"Shen Kenan, 30 years old, several years older than me!" Dai Li looked at the next athlete.
This player named Shen Kenan was also a strong player at his peak. When he was young, he won the runner-up in the National Grand Prix. He was also very successful. It's just that the peak time of athletes is short-lived, and this is even more true for sprinters. If a 30-year-old sprinter does not take good daily care, he may have been knocked down by injuries long ago.
The age of 30 is undoubtedly the end of a sprinter's career. Today's Shen Kenan's level has dropped a lot compared to when he was young. Let alone participating in the National Games, it is difficult to appear in ordinary competitions. The track and field team prefers to leave competition opportunities to young people.
However, since Shen Kenan chose to sign up for the relay team, it meant that he did not give up participating in the competition. A 30-year-old veteran still persisted on the field, which successfully impressed Li Dai.
Seeing Shen Kenan, Li Dai couldn't help but think of Jiang Aiguo of the weightlifting team. Jiang Aiguo has now retired and stayed on the team as a coach. Now Jiang Aiguo is still working hard to pay for his daughter's surgery.
Perhaps for this reason, Li Dai chose to keep the veteran Shen Kenan. Although Shen Kenan is older, he has rich experience. For any team sport, an experienced veteran can play a role in stabilizing military morale.
"Zhang Jialiang, 25 years old, is considered the peak age of a sprinter!" Dai Li looked at the next player.
His name is Zhang Jialiang. He has average skills, average grades, and average talent. He can be said to be a very average athlete.
But Li Dai took a fancy to his advantage, which was his stability. This athlete named Zhang Jialiang, although average in all aspects, is a very stable athlete. For a relay race, stability is the most important thing. Stability means a reduced probability of mistakes. As long as it is stable enough, even a slightly slower speed is acceptable.
"Qian Dong, 22 years old, currently has the highest ability value among these five people."
Among the five players, Qian Dong is the only player who is likely to participate in the individual event of the National Games. Of course, this is only "possible". If Qian Dong chooses to participate in the individual event, he will definitely face fierce selection and competition. It is possible to be eliminated. And with Qian Dong's strength, even if he were to participate in the qualifying rounds, he wouldn't be able to qualify, so it would be better to join the relay team, at least to secure a qualification for the National Games.
The reason why Dai Li chose Qian Dong was not only because his ability value was the highest among the five, but also because Qian Dong's technical flaws were relatively easy to improve. In other words, Li Dai can allow Qian Dong to significantly improve his strength in a short period of time. "
"Wang Wenqiang, 27 years old, is also a veteran!" Dai Li looked at the fifth player.
This athlete named Wang Wenqiang is one of those very mediocre players. The reason why Li Dai chose him was because he had no better choice and could only let him make up the numbers. Wang Wenqiang can only be regarded as a substitute in the relay team. If there are no accidents, he will have no chance to play.
…
The relay team was finally formed, and the next day, Dai Li began formal training.
The first thing Li Dai needs to do is to improve the personal abilities of the athletes. These athletes have various technical deficiencies that need to be improved.
When the athletes' shortcomings gradually improved, Li Dai introduced relay training.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the National Games qualifying competition is getting closer. The track and field team also held an intra-team test match.
This team test match is mainly for individual events, and the relay race that Li Dai is responsible for does not participate in the test match.
The number of places to participate in the National Games is limited. Even in the qualifying competition, it is impossible for everyone to participate. The Hanbei Provincial Track and Field Team naturally selects the best from the best and selects outstanding athletes through the team's test competition.
…
Zhang Chao looked at the results of the test match in the bulletin board with a bitter look on his face. He knew that he had no hope of participating in the National Games.
"Hey, several years of hard work have been in vain again!" Zhang Chao sighed, dragging his heavy steps towards the dormitory.
"Zhang Chao, how are your grades?" A voice came from behind. Zhang Chao knew without turning around that the person speaking was his roommate Zhao Xinhua.
"What else can I do? I'm dead! I can't go to the National Games." Zhang Chao shook his head and asked, "Zhao Xinhua, what about you?"
"I'm just like you, I have no chance!" Zhao Xinhua said.
"We are really brothers in need! Let's work hard together in the next National Games!" Zhang Chao patted Zhao Xinhua on the shoulder, his tone full of bitter melon flavor.
"That's not necessarily the case. We can still sign up for the relay team!" Zhao Xinhua said.
"Didn't the registration for the relay team end a month ago?" Zhang Chao asked rhetorically.
"It's over, but if you don't look at all the people who signed up, there are Shen Kenan, who is already 30 years old, and Wu Yihao, the newcomer who just came here not long ago, old and young. , their level is incomparable to the two of us! If we go to the relay team, they are the two strongest people." Zhao Xinhua continued: "Let's go find that Li Dai and say a few good words to him, that Li Dai For the sake of our performance in the relay race, Dai will definitely accept both of us. Although it is a relay race, this can be regarded as a way to save the country through curves. We will also be able to go to the National Games when the time comes!"
