Almighty Coach

"The defendant is not guilty of first-degree murder, and not guilty of assaulting the police." The judge said, slamming the hammer down heavily.

Dai Li walked out of the dock, walked to lawyer Wilfried immediately, and shook hands with him.

"Thank you very much, Lawyer Wilfrid." Dai Li said.

"Mr. Li, this is what I should do, and I always firmly believe that you are innocent." Wilfried's chubby face was full of smiles, and he won the lawsuit, and he also got a huge sum of money. Legal fees, well worth popping a bottle of champagne when he gets home to celebrate.

Walking out of the court, Blake had already been waiting there in his car. Dai Li bid farewell to Lawyer Wilfrid and got into Blake's car.

"Congratulations on winning the lawsuit." Blake said and handed a letter to Dai Li: "Look, this is an invitation letter I just received. It's from the USA Athletics Association. They invite you to come. To be the head coach of the U.S. National Track and Field Team!"

"Ask me to be the head coach of the U.S. track and field team!" Dai Li didn't know whether to suspect that his ears were not working well, or that Blake's mouth was not working well. He is not an American. It is said that the powerful American track and field team will not find a foreign head coach to coach.

"When I first saw this invitation letter, I thought it was a prank! How could the US national track and field team find a Chinese to be the head coach? But I have already called the Athletics Association to confirm that it is true." Bray As he spoke, Ke started the car.

The car was driving at a constant speed, while Dai Li carefully looked at the invitation letter. He read it three times from beginning to end before asking, "What do you think of this invitation letter?"

"There are advantages and disadvantages! Being able to become the head coach of the US team can greatly increase your popularity, and it is also beneficial to the future development of our training center. This is a positive aspect." Blake slowed down a bit. Speed, then said:

"As for the disadvantages, this year's U.S. track and field team is really terrible. I called Alvin before I came here, and he told me that the current U.S. track and field team is even less than half of the athletes. Most of the athletes who won gold in the Olympics were involved in doping scandals and withdrew from the US team. This US team will be the worst US team ever. Leading such a team to participate in the Olympics, It’s like going to die, no matter who is the head coach, he needs to bear the responsibility for the failure of the Olympic Games. So if you ask me, I think being the head coach of the US Track and Field team will do more harm than good, and I suggest you not agree , Just reject the Athletics Association directly."

Dai Li nodded, but did not answer.

Dai Li's performance made Blake feel a bad possibility. Based on his understanding of Dai Li, it didn't look like he wanted to reject the Athletics Association.

"You don't plan to be the head coach, do you? I admit that the head coach of the US Track and Field Team sounds very good, but you have to bear the corresponding responsibilities. Don't be fooled by this superficial scenery. .If you think about it carefully, there are so many excellent track and field coaches in the United States. It is impossible for all of them to be involved in the excitement scandal, right? There will always be some people who are not involved in the case, but why don’t they become the head coach of the national team , so many American coaches are not looking for it, if this is really a good job, how could it end up on the head of a Chinese coach like you?"

Blake's tone was a little anxious, and he continued to persuade: "The current US track and field team is really terrible. Not to mention the lack of major generals, and the strength is no longer the top in the world. The results of this Olympic Games must be terrible. This is simply It’s a losing game, and you know it’s impossible to win, so why waste your time betting?”

Blake's anxious expression made Li Dai laugh, and he said, "It seems that I haven't created enough miracles in these years!"

"Are you really going to take over that mess?" Blake asked rhetorically.

"Don't you think it's interesting to challenge the impossible?" Dai Li asked with a smile.

Blake shook his head: "I don't think it's an interesting thing at all. I still like the taste of victory. I would rather lead a team that will never fail than challenge something impossible."

"It's boring to lead a winning team! The opponents you meet are always weak, posing no threat to you. As time goes by, the joy of victory will be diluted, and you will get used to winning and lose your opponent. The joy of victory can even make you feel numb. Just imagine, if competitive sports are always one-sided and lose the thrill of stalemate competition, it will not be as refreshing as watching soap operas in front of the TV." Dai Li said.

"How do you know this?" Blake asked subconsciously.

"Did you forget that I used to be a physical coach in such a team. It's our country's table tennis team. It's boring to always win." Dai Li said with a long sigh. After a turn, he continued: "Don't worry, before I take over this mess, I will understand it clearly, so that I know myself and the enemy, and I will not fight uncertain battles."

...

Dai Li came to the headquarters of the USA Athletics Association and met Williams, the CEO of the Athletic Association.

"Coach Li, welcome!" Williams seemed very enthusiastic. He invited Li Dai to the reception room, and then personally introduced the situation of the US track and field team to Li Dai.

Dai Li actually knew about the situation of the US team that Williams introduced. He had already received a lot of information from Alvin before he came, and it was all information from the front line of training, far more than what Williams said. more detailed.

"Mr. Williams, according to what you're saying, we don't even have enough athletes?" Dai Li asked.

"It's like this for the time being, but we are still recruiting athletes." Williams replied with a nod.

"As far as I know, before July 15th, we have to report the list of all participating athletes to the International Olympic Committee, and now there is only more than a week before this time limit." Dai Li continued.

Williams nodded embarrassingly: "It is indeed like this, our time is very tight."

"Then do you think it is possible for us to recruit enough athletes before the time limit set by the International Olympic Organizing Committee?" Dai Li continued to ask.

"Our Athletic Association is working hard to do this." Williams gave an ambiguous answer, which actually showed that he was not confident about it.

"Mr. Williams, if that's the case, I have a request." Dai Li said.

Dai Li's request did not surprise Williams. Since he agreed to take over this mess, it is impossible not to mention any conditions.

"Coach Li, please tell me, as long as we can do it, we will never refuse." Williams said.

"I want the right to select the participating athletes. Half of the athletes in the U.S. track and field team have not yet been determined. For this part of the athletes, I hope I can personally select them!" Dai Li said.
