Almighty Coach

Dai Li, who poured himself a large bowl of chicken soup for the soul, was full of fighting spirit, then picked up a rag and began to wipe down the equipment in the training hall.

Anyway, there were no guests. For Dai Li now, being a cleaner was the only thing he could do.

The phone rang, and Dai Li put down the mop in his hand, wiped the sweat from his brow, and then took out the phone from his trouser pocket.

A message like this appeared on the phone screen: "Li, send me the address of your training facility. We are going to play the Los Angeles Clippers next game. I will arrive in Los Angeles ahead of schedule."

"It's Aaron Hampton! I haven't seen him for several years." While thinking, Dai Li sent Hampton the address of the training center.

With the help of Dai Li, Hampton was successfully admitted to Georgetown University. He focused on playing basketball and quickly made his mark in the NCAA, attracting the attention of scouts across the United States. In the second year of the NBA draft, Hampton Dayton was also selected by the Philadelphia 76ers as the No. 1 pick.

The NBA's No. 1 pick is naturally promising, and Hampton lived up to expectations. He scored 30 points in his first NBA game, and he scored 50 points in a single game in the first season. After one season, the Philadelphia 76 Although the team's record is still terrible, Hampton averaged 23.5 points, 7.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game, which can already be regarded as an All-Star level.

After the rookie season, Hampton's data has been rising all the way. Now Hampton has already become an All-Star starter. So far this season, he has averaged 28 points per game, and he is also the most favorable contender for the NBA scoring title. With the current rising posture of Hampton, superstar is only a matter of time, and the titles of regular season MVP and championship are also beckoning to him.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Hampton is definitely one of the hottest sports stars in the United States. Big advertising endorsers are willing to spend hundreds of millions of sponsorship fees on him, and his whole family has already lived a wealthy life.

At this time, when Dai Li learned that Hampton was coming, he was also excited. Dai Li didn't have any acquaintances in the United States. Finally, someone he knew came to see him, which made Dai Li feel like he wanted to see his relatives.

More importantly, Hampton is a big star.

"At that time, Hampton has to cooperate to take a few more photos, and then develop them and hang them on the wall. This is also an advertising effect!" Dai Li couldn't help but glanced at his training hall to see where the photos were suitable for hanging place.

The training of American athletes mainly relies on non-governmental organizations. Clubs of various sports are flooded in every city, neighborhood and small town in the United States, forming the most basic sports training system in the United States.

For example, the gym that Dai Li rented was originally a gymnastics gym, and the operator of the gymnastics gym also organized a gymnastics club. If American children want to learn gymnastics, they can pay a membership fee, join this club, and support the club. Ask the gymnastics teacher here, or buy some gymnastics courses separately. Membership fees and selling courses are also the main profit methods of the most grassroots sports clubs.

The same model may not be able to survive in China. Domestic parents pay more attention to their children's studies. Even learning hobbies are cultivated in the direction of painting and music. As for sports, they have always been ranked at the bottom. American parents are different. They are happy to spend money on sports for their children, whether it is popular sports such as basketball and baseball, or unpopular sports such as gymnastics and archery.

Normal athletes in the United States rely on non-governmental organizations such as clubs for training, and for disabled people, there is no professional training institution.

In China, sports for the disabled are in the charge of the Disabled Persons' Federation. The country allocates funds to the Disabled Persons' Federation every year to support disabled athletes. Therefore, Disabled Persons' Federations at all levels can form special sports teams and recruit professional coaches. Training equipment and training venues.

There are definitely no such things in the United States, so for athletes with disabilities, even a newly opened and unknown training center like Dai Li is a rare opportunity.

The next day, several disabled athletes came to visit, and some people directly called Dai Li to make an appointment.

Although Li Dai has never been in contact with the training of the disabled, has he never eaten pork or seen a pig run? Moreover, with the existence of detectors, Dai Li can instantly find the shortcomings of the athletes, and the next step is to arrange targeted training programs, which is much simpler.

...

Looking at the watch, the pointer has pointed to a quarter past four in the afternoon.

Dai Li frowned slightly. He made an appointment for a disabled athlete named Barron Philip to meet at four in the afternoon, and now it has been 15 minutes overtime, but Barron Philip still hasn't shown up.

Americans have a strong sense of time, and it can be said that time is like gold. In the United States, besides people, the most expensive thing is time. In fact, the high cost of human resources is also reflected in time. Americans are probably the only people in the world who know how to charge for time best. So Americans are used to making appointments when doing things.

Americans are also very punctual. This kind of punctuality does not refer to arriving in advance, but to arrive at the actual time of arrival. Generally, there will be no more than five minutes of error before and after. Of course, if you are going to someone else's house for a banquet, it is normal to be late for 10 to 15 minutes. If you go early, it seems to be urging the host, which is impolite. But if you are 15 minutes late to see a doctor, find a lawyer, or discuss business matters, they may cancel the appointment directly and not meet with you.

Appointing a fitness coach is obviously not going to someone else's house for a dinner, so it is already very rude for this Baron Philip to be fifteen minutes late.

Dai Li was hesitating whether he should make a phone call to confirm whether this Baron Philip would come today. When he looked up, he saw a man walking over like flying. This man should be a mixed race with good looks. It obviously has the characteristics of white people, but its skin is darker, and it is not black like black people. It is slightly darker than Mexicans and whiter than black people.

The United States is a country of immigrants, and there are many intermarriages of various ethnic groups. There are many mixed races in the United States, and Dai Li is not surprised.

"The information given to me by the social worker states that Barron Phillips has no feet, and his legs have been amputated from the ankle joint down. This person walks so quickly, and normal people may not be able to walk as fast as him. It must not be Barron-Philip. Phillips, it seems that business is coming!" Dai Li was excited, and greeted him with a smile.

The other party also saw Li Dai, and then saw him trotting all the way to Li Dai's approach.

"Hello, sir, is there anything I can do for you?" Dai Li put on a "receiving" smile.

"I'm very sorry, I'm late. There was an accident at the place where I worked, and I was delayed for some time." The other party apologized, and after apologizing repeatedly, he introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Barron Phillips, I I had an appointment before."

"You are Barron Phillips?" Dai Li immediately showed a look of surprise on his face. He knew that it would be impolite to look at the disabled parts of the disabled, but he couldn't help but look at the other's hands. It was a pair of Nike sneakers, and the matching logo was particularly conspicuous.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say that Baron Philip has no feet? The man in front of me not only has two feet, but also walks really fast. Could it be that this Barron Philip is pretending to be disabled to cheat relief money?" Dai Li I thought silently in my heart.
