Su Bai, as a track and field athlete with no prospects, decided to retire due to a lack of hope for improving his results.
But when Su Bai officially submitted his retirement application, his...
In the preliminaries that night, China's mixed 4x400m relay team won first place in the first group of the mixed 4x400m preliminaries with a time of 3 minutes 16.63 seconds, and successfully advanced to the finals the next day.
After the results of the mixed 4x400m were announced, Shao Min from the sports channel recalled Su Bai's answer before the game about the quota of 'maintaining second place and striving for third place', and once again expressed his admiration for Su Bai's amazingly accurate predictions about the players and results on the team.
Shao Minyi and Li Sen in the live broadcast room certainly didn't know that when he made this sigh, a dense number of related comments appeared on the public screen of the sports channel's online live broadcast room.
【_(:3)∠】_Bow to the prediction emperor Su. 】
[Nothing to say, I bow silently to Master Su Bai +1]
[…Brother Su is worthy of being Brother Su. He said he would maintain the second place and strive for the third place, so he did. To be honest, if the women's 4x400m had not been so unlucky and had not been drawn into that group, then maybe Brother Su's "strive for the third place" might have been successful. 】
[Well, I also like to predict the results of games, and I also look for data to do some analysis. I always think that I am a data expert, but look at the data basis of Mr. Su's predictions and my own basis... How can mine be called a prediction? It turned out to be just a few blind guesses. 】
Even in the director's room of the sports channel, there was a staff member responsible for monitoring public opinion on the Internet. He was holding a laptop and reporting all the online discussions about Su Bai and related data to other directors.
The staff responsible for the live broadcast of the sports channel were among the first group of people to know Su Bai, but the information transmitted back to China from Japan today still surprised these staff members.
To be honest, they didn't expect that Su Bai actually had such a skill.
Immediately, a director of the sports channel turned around and made a suggestion to their head in charge of overall control.
"Boss, you see, Su Bai is in Japan and he can do a live broadcast commentary without speaking the language, but he can achieve this effect. Why don't we invite Su Bai to do a live broadcast commentary in the future?"
"Just think about it, with his brain, wow, we can skip the subtitles at the beginning, and just directly say the athlete from country A, his historical sb results abcd, and then PB or something, and then report a string of athletes' results in major competitions in the past three years, and finally make a prediction..."
The director who made the suggestion thought about it and immediately felt happy: "Look, if we do this, our ratings will definitely go through the roof!"
As soon as the director said this, everyone in the studio burst into laughter.
"Oh, you know what, I think Xiao Li's suggestion is a good one. I see the discussion online is going off the charts. Just tell me, this kind of genius with an inhuman brain, a beautiful boy, if it were put into a novel, people would criticize him for being Jack Su, not to mention in real life. If we can really invite Coach Su, I think the ratings of our sports channel's track and field events will double!"
When everyone talked about this possibility and topic, they all smiled and spoke one after another, and made new suggestions for the program, such as allowing the audience to interact with Su Bai to vote to predict the contestants' scores, guess how accurate Su Bai's predictions are, ask questions in real time on the public screen, and see how accurate Su Bai's memory is.
When talking about these topics, these people were so excited that they wished Su Bai was present at the scene and could be directly put into the live broadcast room of Shao Minyi and Li Sen to broadcast live together.
The person in charge of the live broadcast in charge of overall control waved his hands after everyone laughed and made noises for a while, "Hey, hey, hey, that's enough, what about Su Bai? Believe it or not, once Su Bai's story is exposed, the national team and the Athletics Management Center will treat him like a treasure."
"Training is busy and tiring enough, how can the national team be willing to let their favorite player do the commentary? If it's a big competition like the World Championships or the Olympics, maybe they can invite him, but at that time we don't even know if he will participate with the team. You little guys are just daydreaming."
"well……"
After hearing their leader's answer, everyone, who had been very excited, immediately became listless.
Their leader was right. With Su Bai's training level, brains and abilities, the national team and the Athletics Management Center are even better than him. How could they ignore Su Bai's hospital and send him here to mess around with them?
These staff members were sighing, but they didn't know that what they had just guessed was indeed the fact.
The staff of the national team and the public opinion supervision center also noticed the discussion about Su Bai on the Internet at the first time. After tracing the source and figuring out the hot topics and content of their discussion, the staff on both sides immediately reported this information directly to their superiors, and then this information was reported directly to Wang Zhengsheng through various levels.
Wang Zhengsheng was watching the live broadcast with Liao Jie in the conference room of the Field Management Center when a staff member called him and told him everything that had happened.
After hanging up the phone, Liao Jie next to him casually asked what happened, and Wang Zhengsheng sighed for a long time: "It's incredible."
"ah?"
Liao Jie didn't quite understand what was going on, so he waited for Wang Zhengsheng's explanation.
After Wang Zhengsheng finished telling all of Su Bai's stories, Liao Jie was also shocked: "Wow, this little coach Su, his ability is so amazing, the human brain is almost catching up with the computer, right?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhengsheng remembered what Ma Changping, the head of the national team's scientific research group, had said to him about Su Bai, and nodded in agreement: "That's right. Old Ma has talked to me about 'what's wrong with Su Bai's brain' a few times before. At that time, he was talking about Su Bai's accuracy and sensitivity in grasping the athletes' data. Old Ma has repeatedly said that this requires a thorough understanding of the athlete's full set of data, and then the ability to make accurate analysis."
"At that time, Lao Ma kept telling me that Coach Su worked too hard for the athletes, and the amount of data he had to be familiar with was difficult to measure..." At this point, Wang Zhengsheng recalled: "And Lao Pei kept telling me that Su Bai had too much responsibility, and it was hard to imagine how he could take care of so many events and athletes."
All these previous questions have finally been answered thanks to Su Bai's superb brain power.
"People's brains are really different. Sometimes you just can't help but accept it."
After talking about Su Bai, Wang Zhengsheng couldn't help but sigh a few words.
"This is an amazing brainpower, but this kid is also an amazing person."
After listening to what Wang Zhengsheng said about Su Bai, Liao Jie commented: "With such a brain, he is still down-to-earth... Even though he has a good brain, if he needs to write down the data, doesn't he have to pay attention to the data regularly in person to see it? After all, his brain is a human brain, not a computer. You can't just download everything into his brain."
"What is the purpose of collecting and paying attention to so much data? Isn't it to improve my knowledge of track and field?"
At this point, Liao Jie finally said: "It's easy to be a smart person. He only needs 30% or 40% of his efforts to achieve the results that ordinary people like us would achieve with 100% of our efforts. But this kid doesn't do that. He works with 120% of the efforts of a smart person."
"It's really a blessing for us to meet Su Bai in the track and field event."
After Liao Jie finished speaking, Wang Zhengsheng beside him also nodded: "That's right!"
Yokohama, Japan
After the preliminaries of the mixed men's and women's 4x400m and the finals of the mixed obstacle relay, Su Bai's first live broadcast trip also ended. The translator of the Japan Athletics Association accompanied Su Bai on the Yokohama TV business car and sent him back to the hotel where the national team was located. He also happened to meet the national team members returning from the game.
The players and staff of the national team also learned about Su Bai's situation on the bus on the way back after the game. At this moment, everyone looked at Su Bai with an expression of amazement, as if they were looking at a living god beside them.
After seeing Su Bai, this funny guy Qiu Wen rubbed against Su Bai and looked at Su Bai eagerly.
?
"What's wrong?"
Su Bai looked at Qiu Wen with some confusion.
Qiu Wen blinked his sparkling eyes, and then looked at Su Bai expectantly: "Xiao Bai, if you touch my head, can I also pass the exam successfully?"
…
…………
?
Qiu Wen continued with anticipation: "I've seen many people say that they will worship you when they worship the God of Study before the exam! You see, people have already offered incense to you, but they can only worship your photo. I see you are right in front of me, so would it be more effective if you pat my head?"
…
…………
………………
Seeing Qiu Wen's eyes full of expectation, Su Bai was choked and froze in place. He didn't know where to start vomiting all the complaints in his heart.
Qiu Wen is one year younger than Su Bai. He was admitted to the university through special recruitment, but due to training reasons, he has been called up to the national team for training and competitions, so his schoolwork has been delayed a lot and he is currently only in his third year.
For an athlete like Qiu Wen who can win glory for the country, the school is willing to give him some privileges, such as delayed individual exams and special tutoring from some teachers. However, Qiu Wen probably put all his talent in the 400-meter event. When it comes to studying for exams, he has no talent at all and would faint on the spot if he picked up a book to read.
In the past, when Su Bai and Qiu Wen lived in the same dormitory, whenever the exams were approaching, Su Bai would see a large group of sad shadow-like creatures in the dormitory.
On their way back, Jiang Wentao and Pei Jinan also knew about Su Bai's affairs. At this moment, the two of them scolded Qiu Wen jokingly, and then took Su Bai to their room to talk in detail.
After listening to their conversation, Su Bai realized that his live broadcast on Yokohama TV station that night had caused such a big incident.
Su Bai frowned, a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I was too flamboyant."
Pei Jinan shook his head: "Okay, how can you be too ostentatious with this little thing of yours? And you also said that you originally brought it up for Arakawa Ryunosuke. Besides, young man, what's the big deal about being ostentatious? Look at that Arakawa Ryunosuke, he is ten years older than you, and he is really too ostentatious."
After several conversations, Pei Jinan also laughed: "I have always thought that with your workload, I can't do it even if I have 48 hours a day. Now it seems that it is no wonder, your brain is really amazing."
They chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they let Su Bai go back to his room. When Su Bai was about to turn around, Pei Jinan suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Bai, you have a brain like this, but you grew up in the track and field team, and later studied a major related to track and field. If you had taken the path of formal education since childhood, you might be an expert in scientific research in some field now..."
After Pei Jinan said this, he realized that he had spoken out of turn.
Su Bai lost both his parents when he was young and had no relatives at home. He was raised in an orphanage. What he just said was really inappropriate.
"Xiaobai, I'm sorry, I didn't think about what I said."
Pei Jinan apologized to Su Bai solemnly, and Su Bai smiled good-naturedly.
"It's okay, Coach Pei. I'm glad I was on the track and field team, and I'm also glad I'm on the career path I'm on today."
Under Pei Jinan's gaze, Su Bai's mind flashed back to the moment when his master Zhao Heping first took a liking to him. He still remembered the feeling when his master's big hand pressed on his then thin shoulder, patted his shoulder with a smile, and said that he was a good candidate.
At that moment, he couldn't help but feel that he found the shadow of his father in his master.
He also remembers the joyful feeling he felt when he was running at full speed on the track.
Of course, what he could never forget was the feeling when he rationally realized that he was not suitable for sprinting and could not go further on this path. So after hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind to retire and prepare to find an ordinary career and live a peaceful life.
Thinking of this, and thinking of everything now, Su Bai smiled, his eyes full of sincerity: "Although other paths may be good, but Coach Pei, I like track and field, I like sprinting."
Seeing Su Bai's smile, Pei Jinan and Jiang Wentao were stunned for a moment, then they saw Su Bai say good night to them, open the door and go back to his room.
There was a long silence in Pei Jinan's room. After a while, Jiang Wentao said, "Coach Xiao Su is really a rare talent in our sprint event!"
People say that since ancient times, there are many good horses but few good horse trainers.
In the sports circle, the coach is the athlete's Bole. The vision and level of this Bole will determine how far the talented horse can go under the guidance of this Bole.
Nowadays, in the domestic track and field events, there is a talented talent scout like Su Bai...
Whenever they think of this, whether it is Pei Jinan or Jiang Wentao, or even more so Wang Zhengsheng from China and many other people who care about track and field events, they can't help but feel that as long as Su Bai leads, China's 400-meter event and many other events will surely reach a peak that they can't even imagine!
This feeling of anticipation kept many people tossing and turning all night.
