Almighty Coach

"Philip crossed the line first!" Steven excitedly gave Dai Li a big hug.

Although Philip was only in third place, Steven looked like he had won the championship.

"Third place! Tickets to the World Championships, we got the tickets to the World Championships!" Steven shouted excitedly, which was also the reason for his excitement.

Today, Philip is only well-known in the United States, but if he can participate in the World Championships, he will definitely become a world-renowned sports star. At that time, Philip will have inestimable commercial value, which means for the agent. Floral banknotes.

Dai Li was also happy. He was not only happy that Philip got the ticket to the World Championships, but also because he had just been upgraded to the advanced stage of a well-known coach.

Dai Li originally thought that he would stay in the intermediate stage of a well-known coach for a long time, especially after he came to the United States and started everything from scratch. He didn't have so many athlete resources at hand, and the speed of gaining experience would be even slower.

However, Dai Li met Philip, who broke several world records for disabled people in a row, which brought Dai Li a lot of experience income.

What's more important is that today's third place in the world championship selection competition, Li Dai has gained more experience than Philip broke the world record before.

"Participating in competitions for able-bodied people is a leapfrog challenge, and the difficulty of obtaining results is also greatly increased, so you can get several times the experience bonus." The system explained.

"Does that mean that all leapfrog challenges will have experience bonuses?" Dai Li asked immediately.

"Yes. But the specific bonus depends on the difficulty of the leapfrog challenge. For example, in a boxing match, the middleweight challenged the heavyweight, and the light heavyweight challenged the heavyweight. Although both are leapfrog challenges, the difficulty of the former Bigger, more experience bonuses." The system replied.

"I see. It seems that I have another way to upgrade quickly." Dai Li nodded, looked at the upgrade experience in units of millions, but really wanted to order a song "Cool" for himself. cold".

"Now is the advanced stage of a well-known coach, and the next step is to upgrade the famous coach, but this level-up experience, I don't know when I can get enough experience!"

Dai Li adjusted his mood, and then said to the system, "Show me the upgrade rewards this time! I hope I can give you something useful."

The system took out two upgrade rewards, a pen and a stack of cards on the left, and a pyramid-style model on the right.

Seeing the card, Dai Li couldn't help but think of the copy card before, but this time the card style is completely different from the copy card.

"What kind of card is this? It also has a pen. Is it for writing?" Dai Li asked.

"This is an age reduction card, which can be used on athletes to return them to their youthful physical condition. For example, for a 35-year-old athlete, you can use the age reduction card to return his body to the state of his 25-year-old body." System speak up.

Hearing the effect of the age reduction card, Dai Li felt an uncontrollable joy in his heart.

Age and injuries are the two enemies of athletes. Age is obviously more terrifying than injuries. Most injuries can be treated, but age is completely irreversible. After an athlete is injured, as long as he recovers well, he can still dance vigorously when he returns to the field, but if he is old, even if he is in good health, he will not be able to dance if he wants to. What's more, with age, the probability of injury will increase, and the recovery speed of injury will slow down.

"This thing is amazing! It's like rejuvenating! How to use this age reduction card?" Dai Li asked immediately.

"It's very simple. You write the age you want to subtract on the card and use it on athletes. For example, if you want an athlete to be 5 years younger, write 5 on it, and 10 years younger, write 10 on it. .” The system explained.

Dai Li thought of the previous athlete patch, which is valid for one year, and each athlete can only use three, so according to the nature of the system, this age reduction card will definitely have usage restrictions, so Dai Li asked: "It shouldn't be possible to be permanent, right?"

"Of course it's not permanent, and the age reduction is not completely unlimited." The system said: "There is a calculation formula for the aging. Subtract the number you wrote on the card from 13, and then multiply it by 30, which is a reduction card." When the age card is valid. For example, if you want to subtract five years from an athlete and return his body to the state it was five years ago, then the effective time of the age card is calculated by subtracting 5 from 13 to get 8. Then multiply 8 by 30, the final number is 240, then this age reduction card will be valid for the next 240 days. Can you understand this?"

Dai Li nodded, and the system continued: "Based on this formula, there are two conditions for using the age reduction card. First, the number you write on the card must be an integer and cannot be negative; second, the number you write The number on the age reduction card cannot exceed 13."

"The number written on the age reduction card cannot exceed 13, so that means I can write the number 13?" Dai Li asked.

"Of course, if you write 13, the final number will be 0, which means that the validity period is 0 days, which means that it will expire immediately after use, and you will waste an age reduction card." The system replied.

Dai Li thought for a while, and then asked: "The number written on the card must be an integer and cannot be negative. Does that mean that it is okay to write the number '0' on it? Integers include 0."

"Of course, if you write 0, the final score is 390, which means that the athlete can maintain the physical condition of the current age for the next 390 days. During these 390 days, the athlete's body will not be affected by aging." The system answered road.

"I understand roughly." Dai Li silently began to calculate in his heart.

"According to this calculation formula, the older the age you want to lose, the shorter the effect time of the age reduction card. On the contrary, the younger the age you want to lose, the longer the duration of the age reduction card. If you reduce the age of an athlete by 1 If you are 12 years old, it can last for 360 days, which is close to a whole year, but if you reduce your age by 12 years, it can only last for 30 days, which is just one month."

"Athletes in most sports, the peak age of the body is around 25 years old. Under normal circumstances, the physical function of athletes will begin to decline after the age of 30. For athletes before the age of 30, there is almost no need to use age reduction. Card, athletes in this age group will be in a relatively good physical condition in all aspects. From the age of 28 to 25 or 6, the physical difference is not very big. Therefore, those who can use this age reduction card, Definitely the kind of older athletes over 30."

"As for older athletes, if they want to get a better physical condition, they have to lose more age. If a 35-year-old athlete just becomes 33-year-old physical condition, it doesn't make much sense. At least he has to lose weight. Only when you are 5 years old and return to the physical condition of 30 years old will you have better results."

"The more ages that can be reduced, the shorter the duration of the age reduction card. If the age is reduced by 5 years, it will only last for 240 days, which is equivalent to eight months, which is almost a whole season in basketball. If the age is reduced by seven years If you are eight years old, you won't even last a season."

At this moment, Li Dai has realized that this age reduction card is a prop that must be carefully chosen. Too much age will be subtracted, and the duration will be very short. ; The subtracted age is too little, although the duration will be longer, but the effect will be greatly reduced.

"Remind you, there are also only 200 age reduction cards, and each athlete can only use 3, which is the same as the athlete patch." The voice of the system interrupted Dai Li's thoughts.

"I see, tell me about this pyramid next." Dai Li said, pointing to the props of the pyramid model.

"This is a team pyramid, which can help you form a coaching team. You should be familiar with the pyramid structure." The system asked.

"Know a thing or two." Dai Li replied.

"The world's top coaches can't always be single-handed, and they can't do everything by themselves. They will have their own team. They are decision makers and commanders. When it comes to specific training, they are all members of the team." Said slowly.

"I know, I also worked in Harman's team. Although Harman is the head coach, he never undertakes detailed training tasks. His subordinates do it." Dai Li said.

"With your current level of well-known coaches, you are fully qualified to form a coaching team. As the decision-maker and commander of the team, there is no doubt that you are at the top of the pyramid, and the lower layers are the members of your team. The position of others. Currently you are a well-known coach, so the team pyramid can provide you with the title of two first-rate coaches, four second-rate coaches and eight third-rate coaches." The system explained.

"What's the use of these titles?" Dai Li asked immediately.

"You can use these titles for the members of your coaching team, and they will get a corresponding bonus to the training effect. For example, the part-time job you recruited recently, you can give him the title of a second-rate coach, then he is training athletes. You can enjoy the bonus of the second-rate coach. You have also experienced the stage of the second-rate coach, so you should be very familiar with the effect of the bonus of the second-rate coach. Of course, those who get the title can only feel the training effect If you become stronger, you won't know my existence." The system explained.

"After this title is given away, can it be taken back?" Dai Li asked.

"Yes, as long as you are in your coaching team, you can give any title to anyone, and you can take it back at any time. All this will be displayed in the team pyramid. If there is a title, there will be a bonus. If there is no title, there will be no bonus. The system continued: "At the same time, when the coach with the title is training, you will gain corresponding experience from it, just like you train yourself."

"It means that I am the boss and they are wage earners. They help me make money?" Dai Li asked immediately.

"This description is not appropriate. The boss wants to pay wages to wage earners. To be precise, they are more like slaves, and you are a slave owner. All the experience they gain from training athletes belongs to you," the system said.

"So, with this team pyramid, I have a group of miners who dig experience. In this way, I will gain experience much faster. It seems that a million-level upgrade experience is not something that is difficult to achieve. .” Thinking of this, Dai Li began to think again.

"Two first-rate coaches, four second-rate coaches, eight third-rate coaches, a total of 14 positions. The team brought by Coach Harman back then probably had so many people. This is equivalent to saying that I can form a football coach For a physical training center of my size, 14 people are more than enough. I have only recruited two part-time coaches now. Now that I have this team pyramid, I may need to recruit a few full-time coaches."

The system also interrupted at this time and said: "You really should recruit more people. You will be upgraded to a famous coach at the next level, and the effect of the team pyramid will also be enhanced. You will have two famous coaches and four top-notch coaches." Coach, the titles of 8 second-rate coaches and 16 third-rate coaches can be used.”

...

In the conference room of the USA Athletics Association, the matter about Philip caused everyone's debate.

"He is a disabled person. How can he represent the United States of America in the World Athletics Championships? We will be laughed at by the whole world!"

"But he did win the third place. According to the rules we made before, the top three in the trials will represent the United States to participate in the World Championships. This has been the case for decades. The top three represent the United States. We must abide by the rules. "

"But this time the situation is too special, I think it should be handled specially."

"No, the rules must be followed. We cannot use 'special circumstances' as an excuse to violate the rules. Once this precedent is established, other 'special circumstances' will arise in the future. Do we have to do something special? That's it. First of all, how about fairness and justice? Then there are still some trials, we just decide the candidates for the competition."

"Should we report the name of the disabled person to the IAAF?"

"Why not? He was third and qualified."

"Will the IAAF agree?"

"In the rules of the World Athletics Championships, there is no clause that prohibits disabled people from participating."

"But this does not mean that the IAAF will recognize Philip, nor does it mean that the IAAF will allow Philip to compete."

"Whether to allow Philip to participate is a matter for the IAAF. Whether to report Philip's name to the IAAF is our business. What we are discussing now is whether we should send Philip to participate in the World Athletics Championships , not whether the IAAF will allow Philip to participate in the World Championships in Athletics. Moreover, even if the IAAF does not allow Philip to participate, it is not a reason for us to violate the rules. Our rule is that the top three in the qualifying competition will represent the United States.”
