In the boxing ring, Taylor held the gold belt high above his head. His cheeks were wet. He didn't know whether it was sweat, tears, or sweat mixed with tears.
"Kevin was crying," Iris said.
"He must be too excited. When he defeated Hopkins before, he didn't show this kind of performance." Li Dai said absentmindedly.
"The WBA gold belt has extraordinary meaning to him. Thirteen years ago, at the age of 20, he won the first heavyweight gold belt, which was the WBA heavyweight gold belt. Since then, he has been Until he was sentenced to jail, he did not lose the WBA gold belt. At that time, the WBA heavyweight gold belt represented the name Kevin Taylor." Iris looked at the gold belt in Taylor's hand. , then said;
"After he came back from prison, the first boxing championship belt he won was also the WBA gold belt. I think you should be able to feel how dedicated he is to the WBA gold belt. Maybe for him, This WBA gold belt not only represents the title of a boxing champion, nor does it only mean an honor, it is also a memory of his youth, a witness to his entire career, or the sustenance of his life."
As he spoke, Iris turned his head and looked at Dai Li. He noticed that Dai Li was a little absent-minded, so he asked angrily: "Li, are you listening to what I am saying?"
"Yes, of course I'm listening." Dai Li chuckled. The reason why he seemed absent-minded was because he received a notification from the system. At that moment, the system had been upgraded. He was upgraded from a well-known coach to a famous coach.
"The top boxing league, the top boxers, the top boxing championships, the experience I can gain is also very high. And the coaching team pyramid also helped me earn a lot of experience. But having said that Come back, I have upgraded this time, and the team pyramid will also be upgraded accordingly."
Dai Li inspected the team pyramid, and sure enough, it had been upgraded. The previous team pyramid could provide the titles of two first-rate coaches, four second-rate coaches, and eight third-rate coaches. Now it can provide two well-known coaches, four first-rate coaches, and eight The number of second-rate coaches and sixteen third-rate coaches has doubled, and there are also two more well-known coach vacancies. This means that two of his coaches will enjoy the bonus of well-known coaches.
"It used to be fourteen people, but now it's thirty. It's time for me to recruit again. But my current venue can't accommodate thirty coaches. Maybe I should open a branch and expand the scale. This matter still needs to be done. Leave it to Blake!”
Dai Li calculated in his mind that the share he earned from Taylor was enough for him to buy a larger venue. If he continued to rent the venue, it would not be a problem to open several branches at the same time.
"Let's take a look at my upgrade rewards first. This time I upgraded from a well-known coach to a famous coach. The rewards shouldn't be bad." Dai Li shouted to the system and brought his upgrade rewards.
Two upgrade rewards appear in the system. On the left is a golden long stick with patterns engraved on it and a gem on the top; on the right is a silver scale with a silver chain dragging two trays with two trays. Engraved with patterns.
"Gold stick? Silver scale? They look very powerful. What are these?" Li Dai immediately asked the system.
"This is not a stick, it is a scepter. This prop is called the scepter of authority!" the system immediately replied.
"What is this for?" Dai Li asked immediately.
"You have gained some fame now, and many of the world's top athletes will come to you in the future. So at this time, you need not only the level of training, but also authority. I think you should understand that for a For top coaches, authority is something that must be possessed. And this authority scepter is to improve your attributes in this area." The system explained.
Dai Li nodded to express his understanding. In the coaching profession, the more high-level athletes we face, the more authoritative coaches we need.
If it is an unknown ordinary athlete with an average personal competitive level, then an ordinary coach can handle it. But if it is a well-known athlete, or even a world-class athlete, it will definitely be impossible for an ordinary coach to coach him. Even if the coach himself is pretty good, if the athletes cannot listen to the coach's arrangements, the training effect will be greatly reduced.
Just like when Li Dai first entered the provincial team, his first training target was Jiang Aiguo. At that time, Li Dai was more like a miscellaneous partner than a formal coach. Later, when Li Dai just entered the national team to study, the situation It's almost the same. Even if what Li Dai said is right, those national team players will not follow Li Dai's instructions.
Later, when Li Dai returned to the provincial team and led the team to compete in the National Games, the situation was completely different. Because Li Dai had the title of Asian Games champion coach, he was the absolute authority on the provincial track and field team. Athletes and coaches would give Li Dai three points, and even those who were dissatisfied with Li Dai would only dare to secretly use underhanded tactics to stumble him.
The previous training of Philip and now Taylor has made Dai Li's training center famous on the West Coast of the United States. However, Dai Li's Chinese face is his biggest weakness. In the traditional American concept, Chinese Americans are not Good at sports. So now Dai Li still needs to continue to accumulate fame and improve his authority. At least when facing those world-class athletes, his training plan must be listened to.
"With this authoritative scepter, will I arrange a training plan or something in the future, so that people will feel that I am authoritative and easier to believe? Am I understanding correctly?" Dai Li asked.
"Not only the training plan, but your on-the-spot command, your tactical arrangements, your comments on the athletes, and even your pre-match predictions will make people feel more reasonable. This is the role of the authority scepter, to enhance your authority. Sex." The system continued to explain.
"According to this, even if you don't become a coach in the future, you can still make a living as a commentator." Li Dai smiled. Since he hasn't used it yet, he can't comment on the role of the authority scepter. He didn't know whether it was a magical prize or a useless thing.
"Then what does this scale do?" Li Dai then asked.
"This is called the status scale, which can adjust the athlete's competitive status." The system replied.
"In other words, this scale can make an athlete's condition better or worse?" Dai Li asked immediately.
"Completely wrong." The system gave a negative answer, and then continued; "The status scale cannot adjust the quality of the athlete's status. Its function is to adjust the stability of the athlete's status. The more the scale tilts to the left, the It means that the athlete's own state is more stable. On the contrary, the more the scale tilts to the right, it means that the athlete's own state is more ups and downs."
"The more stable the better, then. Is there any choice? I choose the left side." Li Dai said without hesitation.
"Is this really the case?" The system said in a mocking tone: "I'm talking about the ups and downs of the state. Of course, there are situations where the state is not good, but there are also situations where the game state is overwhelming."
"You mean it can get better or worse?" Dai Li somewhat understood what the system meant.
The system immediately explained: "Let me give you a simple example. For example, a basketball player's free throw shooting rate is 70%. When his condition is stable, he can score seven out of ten free throws, and he can score one hundred free throws. He can score seventy. And if his status fluctuates greatly, he will also score ten free throws. If he is in good shape, he can score ten goals, but if he is in bad shape, he will only score three or four. And this status scale is controlled by This kind of stability.”
Dai Li fully understood this time, and he asked: "You mean, if the scales are pushed to the far left, then the athlete's condition will be very stable, and he will also be able to perform at his own level stably. It won't get better or worse. When the scale is on the far right, the athlete's condition will fluctuate greatly. He may perform beyond his level or perform poorly."
"That's what it means. You can think of this thing as the attack power in computer games. An attack power of 15-15 means that every attack is 15, and an attack power of 0-30 means that it is possible An attack of 30 may also result in an attack of 0." The system made a very vivid metaphor.
Dai Li's brows suddenly furrowed. According to the system's seconds, this state of balance is equivalent to the choice between "stable output" and "pursuing critical hits" in the game. This choice is inherently a double-edged sword, not a single one. An easy thing.
In a game, if one's own strength is dominant, then seeking stability should be the most correct choice, but at the same time, one must also consider that if the opponent breaks out, then seeking stability too much may lead to losing the game.
If the strength is equal to that of the opponent, it will be even more difficult to make a choice. Between two people of similar strength, the one who is in better shape will win. However, the balance of status cannot make the status better, but makes the status more ups and downs. It's okay to be in great shape, but if there is no status at all, then the game It's a lost cause.
"If you think about it this way, when you are not as strong as your opponent, you can use this state scale to gamble on luck. In a game that is already difficult to win, push the scale to the far right to maximize the ups and downs of the state and luck. If you like to fight until a state explodes, you may win. It seems that the scale in this state is a prop for the weak. Only when your skills are inferior to others can you get the maximum benefits."
In just a few seconds, Dai Li had already figured out the correct way to use the status scale.
