Entering the sprint stage of the National Games, the food in the canteen is much richer than usual.
Today's dishes were very suitable to Dai Li's appetite. There were many meat dishes and they were not very greasy. More importantly, the taste was relatively light, which was in line with Dai Li's concept of low-salt diet, so he couldn't help but serve it one more time.
Dai Li put his mobile phone on the table and looked for the latest popular TV series. He was eating with gusto, but two figures appeared in front of Dai Li and sat down opposite him.
"Coach Li, hello, I'm Zhang Chao."
"I'm Zhao Xinhua." The two introduced themselves.
Dai Li raised his head and looked at the other party: "Hello, I know you are all in the sprint team."
The two of them nodded at the same time, but Dai Li didn't say another word, just watched the TV series and continued eating.
It is said that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Li Dai had already vaguely guessed some of the purposes of the two people coming. After all, he ate in the cafeteria every day and no one came to look for him. Now, two athletes came to him just after the team's test match. , Dai Li can somewhat relate to it.
However, Dai Li simply pretended not to know anything, and just ignored the two of them without asking or telling.
Zhang Chao and Zhao Xinhua looked at each other awkwardly, and finally Zhao Xinhua took the lead and asked: "Coach Li, I want to ask you something."
"What's going on?" Dai Li raised his head.
"Are you still recruiting people for your relay team?" Zhao Xinhua then asked.
"Why are you asking? Do you want to join my relay team?" Dai Li asked straight to the point.
Zhao Xinhua and Zhang Chao showed joy on their faces and nodded at the same time: "Yes, we want to join the relay team."
Dai Li pressed the pause button on his mobile phone and said, "Registration for the relay team ended a month ago. If you want to participate in the relay race, wait until next time. Don't miss the registration time next time. But next time, I won’t be the coach of the relay team, so I can’t guarantee it.”
Zhao Xinhua and Zhang Chao looked embarrassed at the same time, but they did not give up.
Zhao Xinhua said with some pleading; "Coach Li, can you give us a back door and let the two of us join in?"
"There are no rules without rules. Since the registration time has been stipulated at that time, it should be implemented in accordance with the regulations. You have participated in many competitions. When have you ever seen competition registration deadline for one month, and athletes can still use the back door?" Dai Li said very rudely.
"This is not a formal competition." Zhao Xinhua muttered quietly.
"The principle is the same." Dai Li retorted.
"Coach Li, please be accommodating. The two of us really like the relay race." Zhang Chao said.
Dai Li curled his lips disdainfully: "Since you like relay races, why didn't you sign up a month ago?"
Dai Li's question immediately made the two of them speechless.
Zhao Xinhua and Zhang Chao placed their hopes on the relay race because they had no hope of participating in the National Games in individual events. However, there was no team test match a month ago. At that time, they still had hope of participating in the National Games, so naturally they would not Come sign up for the relay race. Ordinarily, both parties should be tacitly aware of this.
However, Dai Li had no intention of wanting these two people at all, so he didn't give them any face during the conversation.
Zhao Xinhua saw that Li Dai was not giving any face, and a surge of anger arose in his heart. He tried hard to calm down, and then said: "Coach Li, in fact, if the two of us join the relay team, it will also be helpful to you." It’s beneficial.”
"Oh? What's the benefit? Tell me." Dai Li asked with interest.
"The strength of the two of us is pretty good, at least better than the players in the current relay team. The players in the current relay team, Zhang Jialiang, Wu Yihao, Shen Kenan, and Qian Dong, are all faster than Not the two of us. If we are allowed to join the relay team, our performance in the relay race will definitely improve." Zhao Xinhua said.
Dai Li laughed as if he had met an advertising salesman. If Zhao Xinhua said this a month ago, Li Dai would still believe it, but after this month of training, the athletes on the relay team are no longer Wu Xia Amon. Li Dai believes that even if they compete in individual events, the relay team members I won't lose to this Zhao Xinhua.
Dai Li put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then said: "I am very satisfied with the current level of the relay team. I think it will take another two months to train, oh, no! It shouldn't take two months, They have the strength to break through from the National Games qualifying round. Okay, I'm full, you eat slowly."
After Li Dai finished speaking, he picked up the dinner plate and turned away without looking back, leaving Zhao Xinhua and Zhang Chao sitting there staring at each other.
"What should we do? Coach Li didn't agree to us?" Zhang Chao looked disappointed.
Zhao Xinhua stared fiercely at Dai Li's leaving figure.
"Hmph, there are no athletes like us, how can the old, weak, sick and disabled still want to break through the National Games qualifying competition? It's a daydream. In two months, just wait and see his jokes!" Zhao Xinhua said.
…
A month later, the track and field team held another intra-team test match, and a group of athletes with poor performance were also eliminated.
The scene in front of Dai Li was once again lively. At this time, Dai Li was like the captain in the game, with a big "captain icon" on his head. Next to him, there were a group of individual people waiting to clear the dungeon, begging desperately to join. .
Several athletes who were eliminated in the trials wanted to join the track and field team, but they were all rejected by Dai Li, including a relatively strong athlete in the team.
This is somewhat surprising. The five players Li Dai selected before were not very strong athletes. It is said that there are strong players willing to join. It is like a teammate who pretends to be silent and comes to the difficulty dungeon. Li Dai should have both hands. They were welcome, but no matter who wanted to join the relay team, they were all rejected by Dai Li.
Many people think that Li Dai is adhering to his principles, many people think that Li Dai is deliberately killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and some people think that Li Dai is just being stubborn.
Until the final list of those participating in the National Games was confirmed, Dai Li's side was still the same five people, with no increase or decrease.
For the five athletes of the relay team, they were of course extremely surprised. With their strength, it would have been impossible for them to appear in the National Games. Moreover, in the track and field team, many athletes who were stronger than them were eliminated. They were eliminated, but they were able to reach the stage of the National Games through the relay race.
In fact, even they themselves did not realize that after these three months of training, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, not only in the relay events, but also in the individual 100 meters and 200 meters. A lot.
However, there are also many unsuccessful athletes who are very jealous of this. It was really a terrible feeling to watch athletes who were far inferior to me get on the bus for the National Games, while I could only stay in the team as a spectator.
"Take a bunch of weaklings to participate in the National Games, I don't believe you can enter the main competition!"
"This Dai Li is too crazy. When you lose completely, you will definitely regret not letting me join in the first place!"
On the windows of the dormitory building, angry faces looked at the departing bus, and they kept cursing Dai Li in their hearts...
