Under the leadership of head coach Gu Zhizhong, the main players of the National Table Tennis Team went to Sweden to participate in the ITTF Swedish Open.
As a physical fitness coach, Li Dai naturally did not have the opportunity to go to Sweden. He could still only watch the game through online live broadcast.
Watching the athletes he personally trained enter international competitions, Dai Li couldn't help but feel a little nervous, fearing that they would stumble.
However, Dai Li soon discovered that his worries were unnecessary.
Although the Swedish Open brings together many top players from Japan, South Korea and Europe, they still cannot escape the fate of being abused when facing the main players of the national table tennis team. It is already very difficult for foreign players to win a game in a game. It's a big deal. If you can win two games, it's considered an upset.
When the singles competition reached the semi-finals, it had become a civil war for the national table tennis team. In the doubles competition, although the national table tennis team only sent one group of players in the men's and women's events, they still won the championship.
There is no doubt that the national table tennis team still has absolute dominance.
The last men's singles final of the Swedish Open was a contest between Wang Anshan and Yashuang. Wang Anshan finally won with a total score of 4-2.
At the end of the game, Li Dai, who was lying in bed watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone, let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also discovered that the system had been upgraded again.
"Finally upgraded! The advanced stage of a first-class coach!" Dai Li couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The last time Li Dai was promoted was at the Asian Games more than a year ago. He relied on several gold medal awards in the Asian Games to be promoted to the intermediate stage of a first-class coach. Then Dai Li began a long process of accumulating experience.
The experience that Li Dai has gained is closely related to the level of athletes he trains. The best athletes in the national track and field team are only A-level talents, and their ability values are not very high. This is already difficult to meet Li Dai's upgrade needs. .
Later, when he returned to the provincial team, Li Dai trained a horse with a worse level of athletes, and the experience points he gained naturally became less. At that time, Li Dai even felt that upgrading was a long way away. An indefinite matter. It wasn't until I became a physical fitness coach for the provincial table tennis team that the situation slowly began to improve.
When Li Dai was willing to join the national table tennis team, he also felt that he could face the world's top athletes and gain more experience in the national table tennis team.
In fact, just as Dai Li expected, training a group of athletes with S-level talents and ability values above 900 will indeed increase their experience points. Li Daicai has only been in the National Table Tennis Team for a month, and the experience he has accumulated can be compared to what he gained in the previous months.
At the same time, experience rewards for competition results are also an important part.
For example, in the just-concluded Swedish Table Tennis Open, there were a total of six gold, silver and bronze medals for men's and women's singles and two gold medals for men's and women's doubles, all of which were related to Dai Li's training. Dai Li also received tens of thousands of experience points as a reward. He was directly promoted to the advanced stage of a first-class coach.
Moreover, Dai Li knows that national table tennis players have many opportunities to participate in such world-class competitions, and as long as they participate, they will definitely win the championship, or even win most of the medals. For Li Dai, any medal is a massive experience reward.
This is really different from the national track and field team.
In fact, there are more world-class track and field competitions than table tennis, such as the Track and Field Diamond League, Track and Field Grand Prix, Track and Field Super Grand Prix, and Track and Field Indoor Games. Throughout the year, track and field competitions around the world are almost non-stop.
However, due to their limited level, the athletes of the national track and field team have no chance to participate in such world-class competitions. At most, they can participate in competitions within Asia. Therefore, even if Li Dai sits in Xue Li's position, he will not receive an incredible experience reward.
…
"I am now at the advanced stage of a first-class coach. What is the next level?" Li Dai asked.
The system gave a reply: "The next level is a well-known coach, and you need 300,000 experience to upgrade!"
"So much? With 300,000 experience, just relying on daily training, even in the national table tennis team, will take three or four years, right? It seems that we still have to rely on playing games to let athletes win a few more world championships. Only then can I hope to upgrade more quickly.”
Li Dai lowered his head and thought for a while. There are still two open tournaments, a table tennis World Cup, and the annual finals of the tour. Even if the national table tennis team wins all the gold medals, it will not be enough for him to upgrade.
But there will be many table tennis competitions next year. Starting from the beginning of the year, open tournaments in European countries such as Hungary, Germany, and Switzerland will begin, followed by open tournaments in Asian countries such as Qatar, Kuwait, Japan, and South Korea. More importantly, next year is the Olympic year. There will be the Olympic Games in August. By then, four Olympic gold medals for men's singles, women's singles, men's team and women's team will definitely bring huge experience rewards to Li Dai.
"If I'm lucky, I can be promoted to a well-known coach by the end of next year's Olympic Games!" A wave of hope ignited in Dai Li's heart. He even began to rejoice that his choice to join the National Table Tennis Team was an extremely correct choice. If he had switched to other sports, he would certainly not have been able to accumulate experience as quickly as table tennis.
"Then it's time for the lottery draw again. Come and see what upgrade rewards I got this time!" Dai Li thought, and the system had already delivered the upgrade rewards to him.
There are two reward items. The one on the left is a skill book. Dai Li is no stranger to the style of skill books, so he recognized it at a glance.
On the right is a large album with a hard-cover cover, much like the large photo albums that were common in the past, full of wood-grain texture.
Moreover, the booklet is very thick. At first glance, it seems thicker than an ordinary dictionary, almost as thick as "Cihai".
"My dear, what is this? It's big, thick, and full of materials. It must be a good thing!" Dai Li's eyes were immediately attracted by this thick booklet. He subconsciously felt that this was a good thing.
Dai Li picked up the thick book and opened the first page. There were no words, no pictures, and it was completely blank;
The second page is blank with no words or pictures;
The third page is still blank with no words or pictures.
Dai Li quickly flipped through the next dozens of pages and found that they were all the same, blank, not even a page number.
"What is this? A whole blank sheet of paper?" Dai Li looked a little embarrassed.
The system's voice sounded at this time: "This is your athlete's illustrated book."
"Athletes' illustrated book? What is it for?" Dai Li asked immediately.
"You can include the athletes' situation in the athlete's illustrated book, including the athlete's physical information, technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, competition experience, on-the-spot judgment... That is, everything about the athlete can be included in the illustrated book to form detailed data, even if The athlete is no longer in your training list, you can also view the athlete data in the illustrated book." The system replied.
"It sounds like collecting stamps, but what's the use?" Dai Li asked.
"Of course it works! Think about it, the best athletes in various sports in the world are all gathered in this illustrated book. How intoxicating is the sense of accomplishment! When you are old, look back at this illustrated book , what a wonderful memory it is to recall the athletes you have trained!”
"Intoxication? Memories? You told me to reward me with this crap just to make me intoxicated and reminisce?" Dai Li had the urge to curse.
