Almighty Coach

Dai Li had waited too long for this upgrade, and he almost forgot about the system upgrade.

Li Dai's physical training center is still in operation, providing him with a steady stream of experience; during his career coaching the Clippers, the players' daily training also provided him with experience; the 82 regular season games in a season also provided him with Provide experience.

Even so, Dai Li waited so long to upgrade, which is indeed calculated in "years".

It's still a long time before the next slow experience slot. Li Dai estimated that it would be difficult for him to accumulate the experience to advance to the next level before he was 40 years old.

Since it was destined to be a long wait, Dai Li stopped paying attention. What he was looking forward to now was what kind of rewards he could get after upgrading.

There are still two objects placed in front of him, the one on the left is a golden horseshoe slowly spinning in the air; the one on the right is a silver-gray spinning top, suspended in the air.

"What are these?" Dai Li asked.

"The one on the left is the lucky horseshoe. You know the meaning of the horseshoe. It represents the arrival of luck. And the function of this horseshoe is to make you and your athletes get good luck in the competition." The system answered.

"That sounds very general." Dai Li said with a frown.

There is a saying that "dribbling is also a part of strength". Winning a game by luck is not lacking in real cases in reality, but luck is too illusory, so when this "lucky horseshoe" appeared, Li Dai still felt a little confused.

Just listen to the system explaining: "What is luck, you probably don't need me to explain it, you can know it, so let me talk about this lucky horseshoe, when you have this item, you and your athletes will have a little bit of luck. improvement."

"What about the increase rate? Is there any hard standard? Or what kind of numerical display?" Dai Li continued to ask.

"The increase is very small, so as I said just now, only a slight increase is often not enough to change the outcome of a game, and you can ignore it." The system replied.

"In other words, this lucky horseshoe is not very useful." Dai Li looked disgusted.

"It is also because the lucky horseshoe has very limited passive improvement of luck, so the lucky horseshoe will have an active skill. After owning the lucky horseshoe, you will get the skill 'pray for good luck'. After using the skill 'pray for good luck', You and your athletes will get very good luck, and the duration is three minutes." The system said.

"What do you mean by very good luck?" Dai Li continued to ask.

"It literally means, for example, if you pick up a dollar when you go out, you can win the sixth prize when you buy a lottery ticket, and you get good equipment when you play games, it's all luck." The system said.

"You said these few examples have nothing to do with sports competitions." Dai Li responded coldly.

"Of course it is useful in the game. For example, if you are not lucky enough to score a key goal, you will not score, but if you are lucky, you will score." The system continued in a resentful tone: "In addition, I will repeat again, use the skill 'Prayer' Then, for the next three minutes, you and your athletes will have very good luck for three minutes."

"Wait a minute, you said 'me and my athletes'? Does that mean this skill can also be applied to me?" Dai Li asked abruptly.

"Yes, this 'prayer' skill can not only be applied to athletes, but also to yourself." The system replied with certainty.

Dai Li was overjoyed. Since he got the system, he has gained a lot of skills, but those skills were used on athletes, and the only thing that can be used on himself is to copy cards. And now finally there is an extra skill that can be used on him, but Li Dai still doesn't know how effective this skill is.

"Increase your luck, maybe you can buy a lottery ticket!" Dai Li thought to himself.

Suddenly, Dai Li changed his mind, maybe the "prayer" skill of this lucky horseshoe can be used together with other props.

"What kind of lottery I can draw in my lottery box is completely random. It can be said that it is all luck. If I can't get the lottery or get the lottery, it will not help me. But if I use the prayer skill first , Let me have good luck for three minutes, and then use the lottery box, will it trigger good luck and draw a lottery for me!"

This idea came to Dai Li's mind. If the lottery box can be used together with the lucky horseshoe, then every time the lottery box is used, a good lottery can be drawn.

Thinking of this, Dai Li couldn't wait to play a game to prove whether his idea is feasible.

On the other side, the system introduced another item, the silver-gray spinning top.

"This is the dream maker gyro. The dream maker gyro can help you build a dream space. When your athletes fall asleep, you can pull them into the dream space." The system replied.

Dai Li remembered the movie "Inception", so he asked, "What's the use of the dream space?"

"It depends on what kind of dream space you build. If you build a training ground, the dream space can allow athletes to train, and if you build a game, then the athletes can participate in a game in the dream. It is worth mentioning that the ratio of dream space to real time is 10 to 1, which means that 10 hours in dream space will only pass 1 hour in real space." The system said slowly.

"That means you can train even in your dreams! And 10 hours of training in a dream is equivalent to one hour of training in reality! My God, this thing is a bit against the sky!"

While Li Dai sighed, he couldn't help but start to calculate in his heart. If a person sleeps 8 hours a day, then the training time in the dream is 80 hours, 365 days a year, that is 29,200 hours of training. In reality, an athlete can accumulate 30,000 hours of training in ten years. This dream maker spinning top can create nearly 30,000 hours of dreams a year. If it is used for training, one year is really equal to ten years.

"Being an athlete means one minute on the stage and ten years off the stage. For example, a 100-meter sprinter trains for more than ten years, just for the ten seconds on the field. From this point of view, the profession of athletes , The most important thing is daily training, as for the results of the competition, it is actually the performance of the daily training effect, so training is the most important thing for athletes.”

"Based on this, the Dream Maker Spinning Top may be the most heaven-defying item in my hands. The so-called hard work can make up for one's weakness, even those athletes with relatively average talents, if they have ten times the training time, they are enough to become excellent athletes .”

In the next second, Dai Li suddenly realized a problem, and he immediately said, "No, sports refers to various activities to enhance physical fitness. Any sports, whether it's running or jumping, ultimately requires With the body as a support, if you train in your dream, can you also improve your physical fitness?"

"Have you heard that dreaming can make the body stronger?" the system asked back.

"I know that sleeping too much will make you fat. But I haven't heard that sleeping too much will make your body stronger." Dai Li replied honestly.

"Then it's over! It's impossible for the training in the dream to affect the body." The system replied.

Dai Li's face turned gloomy in an instant: "Sports is an activity of physical competition, if this dream training cannot have an effect on the athlete's body, then the athlete will not become taller, faster and stronger through dream training. Isn't this dream training useless at all! I thought I got a heaven-defying artifact, but it turned out to be a useless waste."

"It is true that dreams cannot directly affect the body, but they can accumulate experience for athletes. For example, an athlete has practiced 10,000 shots in his dream. The summary of skills brought by these 10,000 shots belongs to the athlete. Yes." The system replied.

"So that's how it is." Dai Li instantly understood how to use the Dreammaker's top.

This prop has a limited effect on sports such as track and field, swimming, and weightlifting, which place more emphasis on the body, because dream training cannot bring about improvements in physical fitness.

But for some skillful or experiential sports, this dream maker spinning top is very useful.

The so-called skill in sports is the accumulation of athletic talent and training experience. Athletic talent is born and no one can change it, but training experience can be acquired. Athletes slowly accumulate experience through day-to-day training, and the accumulation of experience will be transformed into the proficiency of a certain skill. The higher the proficiency, the better the skills.

Take shooting for example. When beginners first practice shooting, they don’t know why they fail to make shots. Later, with more practice and accumulation of experience, they can gradually understand the reasons why they fail to make shots. Either the strength is not well controlled, or the angle is not well controlled.

Continue to practice, and you will figure out how to adjust the strength and angle to make the ball. If you practice enough, you can probably tell when the ball is shot or not, and you can even adjust the angle and strength of the shot at the moment of the shot. These are the accumulation of experience.

After all, practice makes perfect!

And that's exactly what the Dreammaker's Spinning Top does. Although training in dreams cannot bring about the improvement of physical fitness, it can bring about the accumulation of experience, and experience will only increase rather than decrease. This accumulation of experience translates into skill that improves the overall performance of the athlete.

Just listen to the system then explain: "I just said that the dream space you build can be a training place or a competition."

"I understand. What you mean is that if you construct a competition and let the athlete participate in it, he can gain practical experience in a competition." Li Dai's ability to draw inferences from one instance to another is still very strong.

It is also very meaningful to build a game so that athletes can gain practical experience in the dream game, especially for young athletes.

For example, in the NBA, the regular season of a season is 82 games. If it is a relatively high-ranking rookie, it may be possible to play a full 82 regular-season games, but for a relatively low-ranking rookie, it is very difficult to enter the rotation. Difficult, it should be enough to get the time to play. If you can't even get garbage time in a season, there is no need to talk about accumulating game experience. Similarly, the NBA also has the kind of players who enter the league at a low level, but abruptly gain a foothold by playing more games and gaining experience.

In all confrontational sports, actual combat experience is very important. No matter how good the athlete's body and skills are, if he has no actual combat experience, he is still a rookie who is useless. On the contrary, there are some older athletes whose bodies have degenerated and cannot run fast or jump high, but because of their rich experience, they are still trusted by the coaches.

And the dream maker spinning top can build a game, which can help athletes make up for the lack of actual combat experience.

Li Dai estimated in his mind, based on 8 hours of sleep, in the dream, it would be 800 hours, a basketball game is 48 minutes, 800 hours is equivalent to 16.7 basketball games, and a football game is 90 minutes, 800 hours is also equivalent In 8.9 games of football matches.

For example, in La Liga, there are 38 games in a season. According to this calculation, an 8-hour sleep is equal to 9 games, which is enough for a player to accumulate game experience for a quarter of a season.

Another example is the NBA game. Even if it is the absolute core of the team, a game can be played for 40 minutes at most, and 800 minutes is equivalent to the appearance time of 20 games, which is almost a quarter of the regular season.

Based on this calculation, if athletes sleep eight hours a day, Dreamland can construct a season of La Liga or NBA regular season in just four days, and players can also gain a season of game experience.

"According to this calculation, I only need 40 days to turn a rookie into a veteran with ten years of experience! Mom no longer has to worry about not having any games to play. Come to me for a year. I can make you dream of playing games until you vomit!"

...

The playoffs have begun, and the Clippers' first opponent is the Denver Nuggets.

At the beginning of the season, the Nuggets had a very dazzling record and were once at the top of the Western Conference. But as the season progressed, the veteran teams gradually recovered, and the Nuggets' performance continued to decline. However, in the end, the Nuggets relied on the advantage of the relationship between victory and defeat to catch the last train of the playoffs in the highly competitive West.

No. 1 in the West vs. No. 8 in the West, there will be no suspense. The so-called "Black Eight Miracle" is not a Chinese cabbage, so how could it be so easy to appear!

Besides, the Nuggets are a relatively young team. This is the first time they have entered the playoffs in the past six seasons. Their main goal is to accumulate experience in the playoffs for their main players. Dare not be demanding.

Encountering such an opponent, the Clippers' road to promotion seemed a lot easier. There was no suspense in the 4-0 sweep and promotion, and the players did not consume too much energy. They waited for the next round of playoffs at home early. game.

In the second round of the playoffs, the Clippers faced the New Orleans Pelicans.

In the past two years, the Pelicans' record in the regular season has been very good, and the team has also continued to recruit reinforcements, hoping to make a difference. But in the playoffs, the Pelicans have been unable to achieve breakthrough results.

Without a breakthrough for a long time, it is easy to run out of players' patience. The Pelicans encountered such a problem. At the beginning of this season, they lost two star players. Fortunately, the head coach of the Pelicans is very good. The training of the players was very successful. He led the Pelicans to the playoffs, and also entered the second round of the playoffs.

It's just that this Pelicans team doesn't have the strength to hit the championship. Their head coach and players also know this. In terms of their lineup, being able to enter the second round of the playoffs in the Western Conference is an excess. The task has been completed. If they want to go further in the playoffs, the team needs to continue to strengthen next season.

It is also because the tasks of the season have been completed, but the Pelicans have no ambitions. They play lightly and don't care about winning or losing this round of the series. There is neither the determination to fight to the death, nor the intention to defeat the strong with the weak.

In many cases, the goal will determine the level of achievement.

For example, if a company has an annual sales target of 100 million, if it achieves this target in the first ten months, then in the next two months, both ordinary employees and management will lose some momentum. There will be many people who spend two days fishing and posting on the net, and it has become everyone's common goal to hang out until the end of the year.

On the other hand, if it is the last month and the annual sales task is still a little short of completion, the whole company will work extraordinarily hard and try their best to complete the sales task.

The same is true for the Pelicans. In the last month of the regular season, they tried their best to finally squeeze into the playoffs. Now that the season goal has been achieved, the players are relieved, and they are not so persistent about winning or losing. .

The Pelicans lost their aggressive goals, but it was cheaper for the Clippers. Facing an opponent who had no desire for a championship, victory became easier. Still a 4-0 sweep, the Clippers advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

The other team to advance to the Western Conference finals is the Golden State Warriors, but their road to the promotion is much bumpier.

The Warriors met the Thunder in the first round.

The Thunder is a team with the goal of a championship. For this goal, the management of the Thunder is also making frequent moves, trading, poaching, and renewing contracts with high salaries. There will be big moves in the offseason of almost every season. The Thunder's lineup undergoes some changes every season.

In terms of strength, the Thunder team is considered a strong team, but it is by no means the top one. But everyone knows that the Thunder are tough opponents. In a series, even if they beat the Thunder, they still have to lose a layer of skin.

Because the goal of the Thunder is always the championship!

This kind of team that aims to win the championship will always play extra tenaciously in the playoffs. Even if it is the eighth in the Western Conference, it will try its best to fight the opponent to the death.

The Warriors broke through the ring and met the Rockets again.

The Rockets are also a championship-oriented team. Unlike the Thunder, they do have the strength to hit the championship.

The two sides played against each other, and the Warriors finally got through after seven fierce battles. Both the Warriors and the Rockets ran out of ammunition and food, and each of their main players was injured.

The Rockets finally lost in physical strength. The Rockets head coach's stubborn 8-man rotation made the Rockets suddenly collapse in the seventh game, which felt like an instant death.

After all, this is the playoffs, the intensity is so great, and the 8-man rotation style of play really can't cope with the seven-game series.

The Western Conference Finals is the Clippers vs. Warriors, the first in the regular season in the Western Conference vs. the second in the regular season. The collision of old stars and new stars is a script that fans love to see.
