Almighty Coach

"This can be regarded as a lottery? You don't need to follow the tactics, can you still lead? This is 5000 meters, whoever leads the race will consume more energy. Unless it is an athlete like Ethiopia or Kenya, who has a very good race The strength of the team, otherwise, the leader will only make a wedding dress for others!"

Dai Li frowned when he thought of this.

"There is nothing wrong with choosing the follow-up tactic, and it is also the safest strategy. However, the result of the lottery request now says that the follow-up tactic is to place a lottery. In other words, I should rule out this safest tactic."

"If following is the sign of the bottom, then what is the sign of the top? Could it be said that letting my athletes lead the race is the sign of the top?"

As I said before, on the field, there are not many options for coaches. For example, this man's 5,000 meters is nothing more than two tactics: leading or following. If following is ruled out, only Can choose to lead.

At this time, Dai Li felt a little hesitation in his heart, and the prediction box once again gave a seemingly unreasonable result.

However, with the lessons learned from the previous women's 4x100m relay race, Li Dai still decided to believe in the prophecy box without hesitation.

Dai Li beckoned and called the three athletes who participated in the men's 5000-meter relay to his side, and gave instructions in a low voice.

"You want us to lead?" The three athletes showed surprised expressions at the same time. Obviously they all know that this is not a good choice.

But seeing Li Dai's solemn expression, the three of them did not object, but decided to carry out Li Dai's tactical arrangement.

...

A total of 16 contestants participated in the men's 5,000-meter final. Everyone formed an arc in front of the starting line, waiting for the sound of the starting gun.

After a gunshot, all the athletes started to start. The athletes on the outer track tried their best to merge inward, while the players on the inner track began to seize more favorable positions.

In the 5,000-meter race, a total of 12 and a half laps are required, and most of the time is followed, so it is also very important to occupy a more favorable position for following.

But what people didn't expect was that the three American players all rushed to the front, and they were planning to lead.

"The Americans are adopting a leading tactic today!" Coaches from other countries looked at Dai Li one after another. They didn't expect that Dai Li did not let the athletes follow obediently, but arranged a leading tactic.

"The U.S. team actually chose to lead, which is too radical!"

"I don't know if the US team's physical strength is enough to last until the end of the game."

"If someone takes the lead, the Ethiopians will save some energy. From this point of view, the Ethiopians are sure to win."

The people around have already started talking quietly.

On the field, the three Ethiopian players were also stunned. They were superior in strength. They originally planned to adopt the tactic of leading alternately, and then constantly controlled the rhythm to consume the energy of other players. However, they did not expect the US team to take the lead in using the tactic of leading.

The two contestants from Ethiopia looked at Rams at the same time, and they needed to get the next tactical arrangement from Rams.

Ramsay made a follow-up gesture, signaling his teammates not to rush forward, but to follow behind with peace of mind. From Ramsay's point of view, if someone is willing to lead the race, then he can save some energy by following behind, so why not do it? Anyway, 12 and a half laps are required for 5000 meters, and the race is still long!

Although the strength of the three players of the US team is much lower than that of Rams, they must be top players to reach the Olympic finals. They also have a lot of competition experience and naturally know how to use alternate leading tactics.

The first lap, the second lap, the third lap... The American team's leading speed is not slow, and the other players have no intention of surpassing the American team. Especially when everyone saw that the Ethiopian team did not move, they followed behind with peace of mind.

The twelve and a half laps of the race were half over in a blink of an eye, and the race was still uneventful. The American team was still leading, and the other players were still following behind. It doesn't look like there will be a change until the runners start to pick up speed in the second half of the schedule.

On the eighth lap, the American team had already led for three-quarters of the race, and this kind of leading was also very exhausting. Their speed was obviously much slower than at the beginning of the race, and it seemed that it was difficult for them to continue maintain the leading position.

Rams, who was running behind, also observed this, and he sent a gesture to his teammates, indicating that after entering the tenth lap, he began to speed up and overtake the US team.

On the ninth lap, the American team was even more exhausted, and their speed slowed down a bit.

Since the U.S. team is the leader, when their speed slows down, the runners behind will naturally catch up a lot, and the distance between them will also become closer, just like at the beginning of the game. The athletes are all packed together, the front and back are tight and there is not much space.

Rams noticed that the American team was slowing down again, so he decided to accelerate ahead of time, and then he made a gesture to his teammates.

The teammates understood, nodded immediately, and then began to accelerate. They wanted to overtake the leading American team.

At this moment, Ramsay suddenly felt that someone pushed him from behind. The next moment, he lost his balance and fell hard to the ground. Immediately afterwards, the person who pushed him also fell down and fell on him.

The person who pushed him was one of Rams' teammates, and this teammate didn't push him on purpose. He was stepped on his heels by someone behind him and lost his balance before he fell. When he fell, he Subconsciously, he wanted to support the person in front to maintain his balance, but he retreated to Ramsay.

The reason why he was guessed by others was also because of his acceleration just now. When he received Ramsay's instruction, he immediately started to accelerate, and another runner behind him, in order to continue to follow him The pace, also chose to accelerate.

Originally, when they were running, the rhythm of the two people was synchronized, but after someone accelerated, the rhythm of the two people was out of sync, causing the person behind to step on the person in front, and the person in front lost balance and fell directly to the ground .

And this fall was like the first domino to fall. Not only did he push down Ramis, but he also fell on Ramis himself. And the player behind him, because he didn't react in time, was also pushed down by him, and the player immediately behind couldn't dodge, and fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight contestants were all caught in this accident, or they didn't dodge in time and directly bumped into the crowd, or were tripped by others. Only a few people at the back, because they were a little farther away and had time to react, bypassed the scene of the accident and survived.

Of course, the US team, which is in the lead, will not be affected by this collision due to its position at the front.

"They bumped into each other!" Dai Li exclaimed.

He knew that the biggest beneficiary of this collision would naturally be the US team. There were two and a half laps left before the end of the race, and at this time, when the others collided, it was tantamount to handing over the championship to the US team.

And if it wasn't for the slowdown of the US team's leading speed, which shortened the distance between the runners behind, so many people would not have been affected.

In long-distance running, it is normal to accidentally step on someone else's feet. It is also common to be stepped on by shoes. As for being knocked down, it is not unheard of. After stepping on the shoes, get up and continue running barefoot, and then win the championship.

But when to get knocked down is indeed a very learned thing. If he was hit at the beginning of the game, the impact would not be great, and he would still have a chance to catch up later. But there are still two and a half laps left in today's race. At this time, the athletes' physical strength is very low. After being knocked down, they get up and accelerate and catch up again. The requirements for physical fitness and running rhythm are very high. Before he could catch up, the game was over.

"I finally understand why it is said that following runners is a sign. Most of the runners who followed were knocked to the ground. If we also choose to follow, the result will be like them!" Dai Li I thought to myself.

The sudden collision caused an uproar among the audience at the scene, and exclamations resounded in the Maracana Stadium.

And the king of sprinting, Ramsay, was pressed down by everyone, but he still managed to get out. When he stood up, he didn't pay attention to his teammates, and didn't check whether he was injured. Instead, he stepped forward and chased forward.

At this time, he is still eager to win the championship and still has to catch up with the athletes in front.

It's just that what he needs to catch up to is not only the three American players, but also a few athletes who have not fallen in the accident just now and have already surpassed them.

Rams finally showed his strength as the "king of sprinting". The speed he showed was not like running the last two laps at all.

Finally, when the race entered the last lap, he also started to catch up with other athletes.

One, two, three, one athlete was passed by Ramis, and then he was left behind.

And every time he overtook an athlete, there would be deafening shouts from the audience.

After all, Ramsay is the long-renowned "king of long-distance running", the ruler of men's long-distance running, and the biggest star in this competition. Except for his opponent, probably all neutral audiences will support him.

The players in the last lap all entered the final sprint, especially the three American players. They also knew that their opponents behind had encountered accidents. full strength.

At this time, his teammates are competitors instead. If he can beat the other two teammates, he can get a gold medal, and if he beats an opponent, he can get a silver medal.

Rams was still faster than the American players, but he was too far behind.

Finally, Rams managed to catch up with the third American player. When he was approaching the second place, the final finish line was already in sight.

Rams crossed the finish line. Instead of congratulating the American champion, he knelt on the ground annoyed, with tears in his eyes. He could feel that if he was given another lap, he would Definitely be able to take back the championship!

The "king of long-distance running" ended his Olympic journey in this way, and lost to an accident!

...

"We won! We really won!"

Of course, the US team was full of jubilation.

Although winning the game by relying on the opponent's accident sounds a little disgraceful, but the game is like this, there will always be accidents, and every time there is an accident, there will always be beneficiaries and victims.

In the studio of the TV broadcaster, the two commentators also commented on the game.

"I didn't expect that the U.S. team took the top two places unexpectedly, while Rams, the 'King of Long Distance Running', only got a third place."

"Rams is really unlucky. He has a clear advantage in strength, but he was destroyed in an accident. In the end, he was taken advantage of by the US team. The US team is really lucky."

"No, don't forget, if the US team hadn't chosen the leading tactics, they would have been involved in that accident too. So it's better to say that the US team's tactical arrangement was successful than the good luck of the US team!"

"Hey, I just noticed that out of the five events that have been completed today, all the gold medals have been taken away by the US team! They have already won 25 gold medals in track and field events."

"That's right, and the last two events, the women's 4x400m relay and the men's 4x400m relay, are also the strongest events for the U.S. team. They almost booked these two gold medals."

"In other words, is it possible that the seven gold medals produced in today's track and field competition will be taken away by the US team? My God! How can the US team be so strong!"

"It's ridiculous that before the U.S. team set off, some people said that this year is the weakest U.S. track and field team. Now it seems that even if we call it the 'Dream Team', it is not an exaggeration!"

...

"Coach Li, have you noticed that the five gold medals produced today are all ours, and the next two gold medals will also be ours!" Donnie looked excited, as if he wanted to hug Dai Li hard Give me a hard kiss.

"That's right, seven gold medals. Even I never thought about it. In today's competition, we can take away all seven gold medals!" Dai Li pointed to the field, and then said: "The United States is the world's largest track and field country. , American track and field has created too many brilliance in the past, and it will create more brilliance in the future, but no matter what happened in the past and what will happen in the future, today is a great miracle day for American track and field!"

"Yes, the Great Miracle Day!" Donnie nodded solemnly, and then looked at Dai Li with admiration: "I was fortunate to witness this day with my own eyes, and you created this day with your own hands!"
