Almighty Coach

ten o'clock in the morning.

"Everyone stop!" Dai Li clapped his hands, signaling to all players to suspend training.

"After two hours of practice, I can finally take a break."

"I feel that the training intensity this morning is not as great as I imagined, and it is about the same as when I was in China."

"Maybe it's just the beginning. Coach Li didn't increase our training volume a lot. Maybe after a few days, the training volume will increase."

The players walked to the sidelines in twos and threes, and consciously stood in a row in front of Dai Li.

"Okay, everyone's ready, ready to eat." Dai Li waved his hand as he spoke, and a staff member came over pushing the dining car.

The players immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, as if to make sure they had heard correctly.

"Eat? Coach Li just said to eat? Did I hear correctly?"

"I also heard that Coach Li did say the word 'eat'."

"It's only 10 o'clock, isn't it too early for dinner?"

"Why did you come here with a dining truck? Doesn't the Clippers' training center have a special restaurant? Do you want us to eat on the court?"

Everyone looked dazed. At this time, the dining car pushed by the staff came to the front. Everyone looked at the dining car. The first dining car contained boxed milk; the second car contained sliced ​​apples. Served separately in small plates; on the third dining car were bowls of the batter-like stuff.

"One box of skimmed milk per person, one plate of apples, and one plate of nutritious meals." Dai Li pointed to the dining car and motioned for everyone to come and pick up the meals.

"So it's just an extra meal!"

"There are extra meals in the middle of the training, the NBA is really particular about it."

The men's basketball players gathered around to pick up their meals. They didn't seem to care much about milk and apples, but they were very interested in the batter-like "nutritious meal".

"What is this plate of batter?"

"This should be the nutritious meal specially prepared by NBA physical trainers?"

"I know this thing, it seems to be used for muscle gain. Those thinner players can't adapt to the confrontation in the NBA. When the physical trainers help them gain weight, they will let them eat this kind of thing."

"There should be a lot of protein powder in it, right?"

"It's not just protein powder, there should be other trace elements. I don't know how the nutritional meals prepared by American physical trainers are different from those in China. I'll try the taste first."

"The taste seems to be pretty good, it seems to be vanilla."

The players of the men's basketball team each held a plate of nutritious meals, tasting and discussing, and some even ate with relish.

However, Wood looked at his nutritious meal with a bitter expression on his face. He gritted his teeth, as if he had made a lot of determination, then picked up the spoon and delivered the nutritious meal to his mouth.

"I haven't eaten this food for several years, and it still tastes the same. It's really a torment to eat this ghost thing every day." Wood thought, while looking at the men's basketball players, he found that the men's basketball players It turned out to be delicious.

"Hehe, I don't believe you can still laugh when you eat this kind of thing for a week!" Wood muttered to himself.

...

During dinner time, the players all gathered in the restaurant, discussing in a low voice while eating.

"I thought that when I came to the United States, every meal would be steak. I didn't expect that the food tonight was quite vegetarian. Cucumber, broccoli, lettuce, and strawberries."

"Isn't there chicken breast? There is also orange juice. This orange juice should be freshly squeezed. There is no sugar in it, and it tastes a little sour."

"What steak are you looking for? Didn't we have roast beef for lunch?"

"I'm not used to the roast beef with a layer of cheese on it. It's not as good as the boiled beef made at home!"

"Okay, this is the United States, so let's do as the Romans do."

"By the way, if you count this meal, have we eaten five meals today?"

"Really, there are extra meals at ten o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon. And there is a fixed one-liter glutamic acid drink. When training in China, the diet is not so meticulous."

"Isn't it? In China, we can order a barbecue or something at night. There is nothing here. I just asked. It takes 20 kilometers to go to the city, and there is no bus. If we don't have a car , can only be in this training center, and can’t go anywhere.”

"America, the mountains and rivers are so boring..."

...

Wood once predicted that these players in the men's basketball team would definitely not be able to last a week if they ate nutritious meals every day. In fact, after only three days, when these players saw the nutritious meal again, they all showed a look of rejection. expression.

This kind of batter-like thing will definitely not taste very good. If you eat it once or twice occasionally, you may accept it out of curiosity, but if you eat it every day, or even more than once a day, it is definitely a must for athletes. A kind of torment. Moreover, the men's basketball players are used to delicious Chinese food. After eating too much nutritious batter, it is even more difficult for them to swallow.

Moreover, the continuous improvement of training intensity has also made many players feel the pressure. They finally realized that training at the NBA level is not so easy.

...

In the early morning, the players of the men's basketball national team came to the restaurant early for dinner.

"I can't take it anymore. The daily training intensity is so high, and we have to eat this kind of garbage!" A player pointed at the mushy nutritious meal on the plate, and threw the spoon out angrily.

"That's right, training is the same everywhere, and you don't have to come to the United States! Even if you have to come to the United States, you don't have to come to the Clippers to find Dai Li. Training is so tiring every day, and you don't even have to worry about what you eat and drink. !"

"It's just these boiled meat and vegetables every day, which have no taste at all, and this shit nutritious meal, it's like a slop, how can you swallow it?"

"Besides this training center, there is nothing here, not even a supermarket. I finally came to the United States, but I can only stay here. We are not here to go to jail, why should we be trapped here!"

"That coach Li is not a professional basketball coach. He hasn't even played a day of professional basketball. Why should we listen to him?"

"Yes, he is a layman. Why should he train us? Even if he is a very good coach, it is in track and field. Our basketball is not track and field. What does he know?"

"No practice, we don't practice today, let's go to Coach Li and explain it! We are not his slaves! We want to go out and have a good meal!"

Several players yelled, and the anger was like a flame ignited in a pile of firewood, getting stronger and stronger.

Constantly increasing the training intensity, and having to eat the hard-to-swallow "nutritious meal" every day, many players developed a rebellious mentality, and they began to develop a feeling of resistance to Li Dai.

In fact, this is also a very normal phenomenon. Those players who can be selected for the national team are all outstanding players in the CBA league. They are the absolute main force and core in their respective teams. Many players enjoy some privileges. Now that they have come to the Clippers, they have started to suffer, and their lives are also unsatisfactory. This will inevitably cause a gap in their psychology, and it is inevitable that they will be unbalanced.

If it was the head coaches of their respective professional clubs, or the head coach of the national team Sun Chenggong, who would directly issue orders, these players would not dare to blatantly oppose even if they were suffering. After all, his own head coach has the power to punish him, so of course the athletes dare not make mistakes. If he was kicked out of the national team because he was against the head coach, even if he did not make a mistake, he would be labeled as "disobedient to management" and "lack of collective honor", and his life in China would not be easy in the future.

Li Dai is not their head coach, and he has no right to punish them. For these players, they just stay for a month and a half before leaving. This is at best a run-of-the-mill camp, and Li Dai is just a run-of-the-mill coach, so they are worried. Also a lot less. When they were dissatisfied, they dared not complain to Sun Chenggong, but dared to vent their emotions to Dai Li.

Several courageous players started to join forces, trying to put pressure on Dai Li, but at this moment, three photos appeared on the TV screen in the restaurant.

"Is that person Coach Li?" Someone asked, pointing to the TV.

Everyone looked up at the TV and found that among the three photos above, there was indeed a photo of Dai Li, and his photo was ranked third.

"I know the other two people, the first is the head coach of the Rockets, and the second is the head coach of the Raptors!" someone said.

"The Rockets are No. 1 in the Western Conference this season, and their record is also No. 1 in the league; the Raptors are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. Their head coaches appear at the same time. Why is Coach Li also in there? Ding, you English is good, please translate and translate for us.”

Xiao Ding nodded, and answered, "The NBA just announced the candidates for the best coach of the season, and they are the three above."

"What? You mean Coach Li is a candidate for the best coach in the NBA? He might get the best coach in the NBA?"

The players in the restaurant were in an uproar.

All the players here are professional players, so they naturally know how valuable the best coach in the NBA is. Even if he is only included in the list of candidates, it means that the coach has great authority in basketball.

The few players who wanted to express their dissatisfaction to Dai Li just now withered away like pickled cucumbers, and the player who said that Dai Li was an outsider even lowered his head, not daring to look directly into everyone's eyes.

Even if someone is still dissatisfied at this time, they can only bury this dissatisfaction in their hearts.

A candidate for the best NBA coach means that the NBA has recognized Li Dai's professionalism and level in basketball, and Li Dai is no longer a layman in basketball. If these CBA players question Li Dai face to face, they will really be out of their minds!
