Chapter 40 (Update 1)



When Su Bai walked over to a few late-night snackers, he happened to hear Qiu Wen say, "Alas, you don't understand," so he asked casually, "What don't you understand?" ', Wang Shen, who was standing next to him, laughed loudly, exposing Qiu Wen's "competing for favor" remarks.

Su Bai:? ? ?

Seeing Wang Shen mercilessly exposing his own "competing for favor" theory, Qiu Wen sighed heavily: "Old Wang, you are really too cold-blooded. You want to expose all the sad stories of our team members competing for favor to Xiao Bai."

Su Bai looked at Qiu Wen shaking his head and sighing, and fell into a brief silence. Then he said expressionlessly, "Don't worry. You, Concubine Qiu, are now the most favored concubine in the harem. I have prepared a new training package for you tomorrow. For your cause of winning favor, you must work hard in the next two weeks."

"puff."

Wang Shen finally burst out laughing when he heard Su Bai's words. He patted Qiu Wen's shoulder, who was in a daze, and laughed: "Oh, this is incredible, it's Concubine Qiu? Did you hear that? His Majesty Bai asked you to work hard next time!"

After hearing this, Qiu Wen collapsed on the table: "Alas, life in His Majesty Bai's harem is so difficult..."

As they were teasing each other, Cui Luoheng next to them raised his head and asked silently, "What about me?"

? ? ?

Su Bai was stunned for a moment, and almost thought that Cui Luoheng was talking nonsense like Qiu Wen about "competing for favor" or something like that, but after seeing Cui Luoheng's serious expression, Su Bai suddenly realized that Cui Luoheng should be asking about the training plan.

"Well, your training plan?" Su Bai paused, and said, "Coach Zhou has sent me your previous training plan and various detailed information. I will go back later and sort out the plan immediately. I will first give you a short-term training plan for the next four days. I will also take this time to make a complete plan for your training plan for the next two weeks."

"You will have a heavy workload during this period, but it will not be physically demanding, so you don't need to be nervous. I will discuss the relevant plans with Coach Zhou. You just need to be prepared, trust us, and train with all your strength."

Su Bai's words made Cui Luoheng silent for a moment. He hesitated, but didn't say much. He just nodded obediently.

On the side, Wang Shen patted Qiu Wen's shoulder with amusement: "Hey, Concubine Qiu, did you see that? What is the normal communication between the coach and the players?"

When Qiu Wen heard this, he angrily slapped Wang Shen's hand away, and then started to eat the beef brisket noodle soup in his bowl with a huff.

Just as Su Bai told Cui Luoheng, he had indeed obtained all of Cui Luoheng's detailed information, but in fact, Cui Luoheng's training plan had been simulated and rehearsed in various directions in the system's training space earlier, so he already had a rough outline of the overall plan framework.

Moreover, because he had successfully passed the assessments of the cooking skills and coaching simulation courses, his personal host level in the system had been successfully upgraded to level 4, which enabled him to observe a series of things, such as the players' training status for the day, the players' training status for the month, the players' mastery of various technical details, the players' psychological state scores, and the players' competitive state scores.

However, although so many permissions have been opened, unlike the first three levels of observation permissions, starting from the fourth level of observation permissions, on the premise of having the permissions, he still needs to pay high observation and monitoring fees when using each permission - that is, a large amount of reputation points. Even though he has gained a lot of reputation points because Qiu Wen, Hu Li, and Zhang Wei swept the top three in the 400m of the Grand Prix, he is still discouraged by the consumption required to activate these functions.

Therefore, he can only selectively open these observation options that are very useful to him for a short period of time. In most cases, he still has to rely on the system's "super idol training space".

The next morning, Su Bai first came to the office of the sprint group and found Jiang Dongjian. He explained Qiu Wen's training schedule for the next period of time, as well as the specific training content and precautions, to Jiang Dongjian one by one, so that he could monitor Qiu Wen's training in the morning.

Then, Su Bai rushed to the hurdles group with Cui Luoheng's short-term training plan and found Zhou Wen.

"Coach Zhou, this is Cui Luoheng's training plan for this week."

Zhou Wen saw the small stack of plans in Su Bai's hand, took it immediately, and thanked Su Bai again and again: "You have worked so hard to make these training plans for a whole night."

Su Bai shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and then explained the key points of the training plan to Zhou Wen again: "In fact, the test yesterday should have made it very clear that Cui Luoheng's current skills do not have any obvious flaws or shortcomings. His bigger problem lies in his original talent."

"It is meaningless to make technical adjustments and improvements in a short period of time, and improving his strength, explosiveness, endurance, flexibility, etc. is also a long-term project."

"So now, our goal in the short term is to allow him to fully demonstrate his strength on the field before the trials on July 16."

"The current plan is also based on this goal, mainly training attention, and other conventional training content as an aid..."

Su Bai explained Cui Luoheng's training plan more carefully than before. Firstly, it was to make Zhou Wen completely agree with the plan, and secondly, because he still needed to be in charge of the 400-meter training. This meant that most of his energy would still be invested in his project. Cui Luoheng's training still needed Zhou Wen to have a clear and thorough understanding before it could proceed smoothly.

After Su Bai and Zhou Wen finished communicating, it was time for him to go to the cafeteria on the third floor to prepare meals. Seeing him so busy, Zhou Wen couldn't help but suggest: "Xiao Bai, maybe you can consider asking the team to withdraw from the cafeteria work?"

Su Bai's importance now is completely different from before. Putting such an important coach in the kitchen, even though his workload is not large, still seems inappropriate.

Su Bai was silent for a while, but still spoke up to reject Zhou Wen's kindness: "I still have room here for the time being, and I don't want to leave the cafeteria."

Seeing that Su Bai insisted, Zhou Wen didn't say much, but watched Su Bai leave the coach's office.

In fact, Su Bai is also very troubled by the issue of kitchen work. His daily demand for reputation is not low, but as a coach, his ways of gaining reputation are actually very poor. Usually, he will have the opportunity to gain a large amount of reputation only after the players he leads have achieved good results in the game.

In daily life, the maintenance of basic reputation mainly comes from the work in the kitchen.

But……

It would be fine if he was in the track and field team of Province S, but when he joins the national team, will the national team let the coach go to the kitchen to cook for the players?

By then, not only would it be difficult to obtain basic reputation points every day, but the system's daily tasks would also usually be related to cooking skills. The various dishes he made would also have buffs such as assisting athletes to improve their training effects...

No matter how you think about it, giving up the identity of a chef in the kitchen will cause big problems.

Could it be that...

When he joins the national team, in addition to being a coach, he also has to find a way to recommend himself to the kitchen?

Just thinking about this, Su Bai felt a headache and simply put this issue aside for the time being.

When Su Bai arrived at the kitchen on the third floor, Sun Xiangdong and Wang Wu were already preparing the dishes.

After Su Bai led the team to participate in the Grand Prix in City H, he was busy for two extra days after returning to the team, so today was the first day he returned to the kitchen to see the two of them.

After Su Bai entered the kitchen, he greeted Sun Xiangdong and the others. When they saw Su Bai, their eyes lit up.

"Xiaobai, you're here?" Wang Wu was so excited that he put down the food in his hand and came close to Su Bai: "Xiaobai, we heard that you gave guidance to Cui Luoheng from our team yesterday, and Cui Luoheng's result yesterday was already under 14 seconds?"

Hearing Wang Wu's question, Su Bai nodded: "Yes, A Luo originally had a good talent, he just encountered some problems that bothered him before."

"Oh, I don't understand these." Wang Wu shook his head, then exclaimed: "You don't know, yesterday, the players on the third floor asked 'Is Coach Xiaobai not here' when they came to the window to get food. I think those players really want you to give them some guidance."

Wang Wu was gesticulating and speaking in a somewhat exaggerated manner, but Sun Xiangdong next to him also nodded, indicating that it was true.

"You have brought out Qiu Wen, Zhang Wei, and Hu Li in succession. The discussion about you in the team has already been very high. And you solved Cui Luoheng's problem yesterday. Whether it is the coach or the athletes, even our logistics staff, the topic of conversation cannot avoid you."

Sun Xiangdong smiled and said, "No one expected that in addition to your outstanding vision in the 400-meter event, you also have such a vision in the 110-meter hurdles event. Indeed, many athletes want to seek your advice."

In a place like a sports team that is filled with athletes, a group of people hit a bottleneck every day. Especially after the competitive level reaches a certain height, the difficulty and speed of athletes' strength improvement will be much more difficult than when they were at a low level.

Not to mention the athletes in the throwing events, just look at the athletes in various track and running events, who has not encountered speed barriers?

Su Bai himself is a former 100-meter runner, so he certainly knows how difficult it is to encounter a speed breakthrough. Many athletes have even trained for years, but their results are always difficult to improve, perhaps due to their own talents or because of the wrong training direction. This is the most difficult time for athletes.

Some lucky and persistent players will break through themselves and achieve better results in the process, but many players become decadent and unable to break through themselves, and eventually become mediocre, until they simply become someone "hanging in the sports circle", and then retire and change jobs with fatigue and pain.

These are the norms that many people in the sports community have seen.

In this situation, it is normal for the team members who are in a bottleneck to want to seek Su Bai's guidance after hearing about Su Bai's series of things.

However, Su Bai really did not have the energy to answer every question from the athletes.

He was silent and did not answer.

When Sun Xiangdong saw Su Bai's look, he knew that he fell into silence because he couldn't respond to the athletes' requests. So he put down what he was holding, walked to Su Bai, and put his arm around his shoulders.

"Okay, what are you doing? If we had known you would be troubled by this, Xiao Wu and I would not have said this to you. I, your brother Sun, am older than you, so I will just say a few words to you - there are so many people in this world who have difficulties, can you really take care of them all?"

"We cooks have a saying: cook as much food as your pot can take. If we can feed one person and make sure that one person eats well, then we have done the best thing. But just because you cook well and everyone wants to eat, you cannot regard all those people who want to eat as your responsibility."

"Everything in this world depends on fate. Even if you really want to give the delicious meal you cooked to someone else, you can also choose someone who suits your taste, right?"

Sun Xiangdong's words were rough but true. After listening to them, Su Bai suddenly realized that he had been thinking in the wrong way. He had deep feelings for the S Province Track and Field Team, so he paid special attention to the players in the team. He also felt the pain of bottlenecks himself, so he felt particularly sorry after hearing Wang Wu's words.

He is now just the coach of the S Province Track and Field Team. In the future, he will meet more athletes of all kinds in his coaching career. As a coach, while he is responsible for his athletes, he must also learn to make choices.

Thinking of this, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Sun Xiangdong: "I understand, thank you Brother Sun."

Sun Xiangdong saw that Su Bai had figured it out, so they chatted for a few more minutes with laughter and then went back to their respective stoves to get busy.

So, at noon that day, the athletes who came to the cafeteria on the third floor smelled the delicious aroma that they had not seen for many days. Everyone rushed into the cafeteria excitedly. While getting their meals, they would occasionally greet Su Bai with a smile.

The next two weeks were the busiest two weeks for Su Bai after he became a coach.

He needs to take care of the training of the kitchen, all the men's 400-meter sprinters and Cui Luoheng. In addition, Jiang Dongjian will also summarize the questions raised by some other coaches in the sprint coaching team regarding the 400-meter event and the training content of Qiu Wen, Hu Li and Zhang Wei to discuss with Su Bai. At the same time, he will repeatedly review Cui Luoheng's training content with Zhou Wen's coaching team.

After the athletes finish their training in the evening, Su Bai will also study cooking and coaching courses in the training space. At the same time, he will use the simulated athletes in the training space to confirm the expected results and direction of the current training plan.

All the affairs of the day were arranged clearly, so much so that Su Bai felt that when he was in the kitchen and clearing his mind to make various nutritious meals, it was actually the most relaxing moment of the day for him.

In such a busy state, more than two weeks passed in a flash, and soon it was July 14th, when the track and field team was about to set off for City G to participate in the Jakarta Asian Games trials.

On the last day before departure, the training of all the athletes had basically ended. In the last two days of training, all the athletes basically did not have high-intensity training content, but instead turned to some maintenance training to maintain the athletes' condition and allow the athletes to have better physical fitness as much as possible.

On the afternoon of July 13, all athletes who were scheduled to go to City G to compete were called together for a mobilization meeting to mobilize and encourage everyone, hoping that everyone could perform at their best in this championship and Asian Games trials.

Zhang Wei and Hu Li also qualified for the championship and trials because of their outstanding performances in the sub-races in H City. Therefore, in the 400-meter event of this championship, three people were from the S Province Track and Field Team. This list not only made the S Province Track and Field Team proud, but also surprised the track and field teams in various provinces across the country.

After all, apart from the S Province Track and Field Team, even in the B City Track and Field Team, only Zhang Ziyi and Guo Dun qualified for this championship. Another main 400-meter athlete from B City was originally ranked relatively low in the country, and with the addition of Zhang Wei and Hu Li to the front row, he was directly squeezed out of the final list of participants in the championship.

This result was beyond many people's expectations. Even on the Track and Field Kingdom Forum, it was widely discussed a few days ago. Many people felt that this time, the smell of gunpowder in the 400-meter sprint between the S Province Track and Field Team and the B City Track and Field Team would be very intense.

Athletics Kingdom Forum

Subject: [The bets are placed! In this championship, can Xiao Qiu defeat Zhang Shuai? 】

Topic content: [The final list of participants for last week's championship came out, shocking many people. Li Junhao was squeezed out of the list by Hu Li and Zhang Wei. Is this the first time in all these years that he has failed to enter the Grand Prix finals? 】

1l: [Damn it! When Li Junhao first came out, he was highly anticipated. He ran under 47 seconds in a very short time and his personal PB result was not low either. But what has he been doing in recent years? His results are getting worse every year. When participating in a Grand Prix, he would like to run a 50-second time... How long has it been since he broke his own best time? Even if he could run under 47.50 seconds in the few Grand Prix he participated in, it wouldn't be like this! 】

3l: [Hey, big brother on the first floor, your name looks familiar. I remember it was called Li Junhao before? 】

5l: [Reply to 3l: That’s right, I paid close attention to Li Junhao when he first came out, and I thought the young man had great potential and strength. How could I have known that he would be like this now? 】

8l: [That's not the case. In addition to participating in the 400m individual event, Li Junhao also runs in the national team's 400m relay. Every time he competes for the country in the 400m relay, he runs quite well. It's probably because all his energy is focused on the 400m relay, so he doesn't dare to run too hard in the individual event, after all, he has to ensure the relay. 】

12l: […I have seen too many arguments about keeping the relay team, but apart from the relay team, his performance in individual events is really terrible… Well, let’s not talk about this. Qiu Wen from the S Province Track and Field Team is gradually coming to the fore. Qiu’s talent and achievements are indeed amazing, but if he wants to surpass Zhang Shuai as the OP said, he is probably still far away. 】

16l: [It’s not just Zhang Shuai, right? In addition to Zhang Shuai, there are several other players whose personal PBs are more than 46 seconds, and some are even close to 45 seconds. I think it will be good enough for Qiu Wen to get into the top four this time. 】

There are many well-informed forum members in the Track and Field Kingdom forum, and naturally some of them have heard the news that Cui Luoheng ran under 14 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles training test. This topic has also been discussed in the forum, but because Cui Luoheng's result is only the result of an internal team test and there is no actual evidence, most people just discuss it and don't go into detail.

After the mobilization meeting, the elite members of the S Province Track and Field Team went to G City again on the second day, the 14th, led by Hu Shaowen as the team leader. As the coach of Cui Luoheng, Qiu Wen and others, Su Bai naturally had to go with the team as this event was so important.

After arriving in City G, everyone found that they were lucky. The sun was shining in City G these days, with no signs of rain. In addition, the altitude and terrain of City G itself also made it a suitable environment for athletes to achieve good results.

All the athletes who arrived in City G performed quite well after adaptive training at the stadium, which made Hu Shaowen, the team leader, breathe a sigh of relief.

Hu Shaowen looked at the athletes in training, turned to Su Bai and said, "I just communicated with the familiar team leaders of other teams. It is said that the athletes who arrived in the past two days are in very good condition for adaptive training. We speculate that many players should break their own PB in this competition."

Hearing Hu Shaowen's words, Su Bai nodded.

This is a very likely scenario.

The current climate and environment are favorable for the athletes. In addition, July is getting closer to the annual peak condition that coaches usually arrange for athletes. After the condition adjustment in the outdoor season in the previous few months, the athletes' own conditions have been getting better and better. In addition, this is the championship and Asian Games trials, so the athletes will naturally attach importance to it psychologically. The competitive strength of the opponents and the good atmosphere...

With so many factors combined, it is easy to understand why players can easily refresh their personal PB.

After seeing Su Bai nod, Hu Shaowen hesitated and said something else: "I heard that Zhang Ziyi and Guo Dun from the B City team are both asking about you."

Su Bai:?

"Ask about me?" Su Bai was a little confused: "If they want to know the status of the players in our team, then they want to inquire about Qiu Wen and the others, right?"

Hu Shaowen didn't quite understand either: "I'm not sure, but a team leader who I have a good relationship with said that Zhang Ziyi and Guo Dun went to them to ask about you. Also, someone in our team should have been asked to find out some information about you."

Su Bai frowned, not understanding what was going on.

Hu Shaowen poked his arm and pointed in the direction of Qiu Wen and Zhang Wei. "Look, it's Zhang Ziyi and Guo Dun. They seem to be talking to Qiu Wen..." Hu Shaowen became a little nervous. "What are they doing? Are they not having any conflicts?"
