"New U.S. National Track and Field Team Coach Named"

"U.S. Track and Field welcomes first foreign coach in history"

"Designed in danger, Chinese coach coaches the US National Track and Field Team"

The Decline of American Athletics? We couldn't find an American coach! "

On the next day, almost all the sports sections of the major media reported that Dai Li was appointed as the head coach of the US National Track and Field Team.

Most of the media reports are relatively neutral, or relatively simple. Just a brief introduction, without detailed reports.

Some media dug into Li Dai's resume and found that he once trained "Blade Warrior" Philip, and the comeback of the 400-meter king Jimmy Irvine also chose Li Dai as his coach. There is a chain of physical training centers. Judging from these points, Dai Li is qualified to be the head coach of the US track and field team.

There are also a lot of negative voices from the media. They obviously think that the US national track and field team should not let a Chinese be the head coach.

"The United States is the world's number one track and field power, but now it wants to find a foreign coach to be the head coach of our national track and field team!"

"Is American track and field going to be saved by a Chinese coach? What are our American coaches doing?"

"Is the Athletic Association crazy, let a Chinese lead our track and field team! They won't get as many Olympic gold medals as we do!"

"Although China is not weak in track and field, it is definitely not a strong country in track and field. What qualifications does a Chinese coach have to lead the most powerful American track and field team in the world!"

The United States is an immigrant country, and there is still some social tolerance. It is not uncommon for foreigners to serve as the head coach of the national team of a certain sport. In the history of the US Olympic delegation, there have been many non-American head coaches.

But there has never been a non-American head coach in a strong American project. For example, American basketball has never had a non-American head coach, and the NBA has never had a non-American head coach in its decades-long history. Occasionally, there are some dual-nationality coaches, all of whom are cultivated by American basketball culture. from.

Athletics is also a traditional strong event of the United States. In the 1980s and 1990s, the United States once became the ruler of world track and field. The former American track and field team was stronger than the current American basketball dream team, so the United States There has never been a non-American track and field coach in history.

So some Americans cannot accept a non-American head coach to lead their national track and field team from the bottom of their hearts.

Some media gave Li Dai a negative evaluation, and some media also raised opposing opinions. Some people on the Internet said that a foreigner should not be appointed as the head coach of the US track and field team. But generally speaking, this did not arouse great social repercussions.

After all, coaches are not as attractive as athletes. Few people pay special attention to who the coach of a certain athlete is. There are even some people who just pay attention to who won the championship, and even dismiss the runner-up and third place. Such people will naturally not be interested in news about a coach.

...

In the Internet age, the dissemination of news is counted in seconds, and the news that appears in the United States will be seen on the other side of the ocean as soon as possible.

In the morning in the United States, it is evening in China. At this time, many domestic companies engaged in the Internet have not yet left work.

For domestic Internet companies, the 996 working system is very common. Going to work at 9:00 a.m. and leaving work at 9:00 p.m. for 6 days a day has become the rule of many Internet companies. This kind of working hours has far exceeded However, Internet companies never tire of it, and many companies are even proud of it.

Also because of this 996 working system, the editors of those news websites who still work overtime late at night also received the news immediately.

In the editorial room of the sports section of a portal website, Xiaobian A read a piece of news from an American website.

""The new coach of the U.S. track and field team is released", there is such a big scandal, even the head coach is involved in the case, this year the U.S. track and field team is probably going to be cold, I don't know what kind of head coach they have found this time Save Team USA." Editor A said to himself.

In fact, he didn't really care about this news. The people in China, like the American people, pay far less attention to coaches than athletes. Even domestic coaches don't care much, let alone foreign coaches.

This kind of news, there is nothing worth reporting in translation, so the editor did not intend to click on it at all, but thinking about the recent doping scandals that broke out in the United States, out of the mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal, the editor Still clicked on the news.

"Huh? I read that right! The head coach of the US team is a Chinese!" Xiaobian A exclaimed directly.

"What's the noise? You scared me!" A complaining voice sounded from the side. This person was secretly sleeping just now, but was woken up by Xiaobian A's voice.

After all, not everyone can hold on to the job of 996, and it is normal to be unable to hold on to sleep for a while.

"Come and see, the new head coach of the U.S. national track and field team is Chinese!" Editor A said again.

"Is it fake? At the level of American track and field, we still need to find foreign coaches? They have excellent track and field coaches everywhere."

"Thinking about it, I don't think it's possible. What is the strength of American track and field? What is the strength of our country's track and field? We are not even one-tenth of others! Why should we teach American track and field?"

Everyone thought Xiaobian A was "putting satellites", and some people came over to expose Xiaobian A's lies, but found that Xiaobian A was not lying.

"Damn, it's true, that's what the news really said!" the man said.

"No way?" All the people around came together, and some people started searching from other websites, and some even logged on to the website of the US Athletic Association, and they got the same information.

The U.S. is the world's number one track and field power. The dignified U.S. national track and field team has hired a Chinese as its head coach. In our opinion, this is big news, and it can definitely be called glory for the country.

In fact, many Chinese people still have the mentality of the weak, thinking that everything in foreign countries is developed and powerful, and that what foreigners say is good must be good, and the moon in foreign countries must be rounder. Therefore, as long as Chinese people can achieve a little bit of success in developed countries in Europe and America, it is considered a glory for the country.

Excessive self-deprecation and xenophobia are certainly not worth advocating, but as far as track and field sports are concerned, the United States is indeed sufficiently developed and powerful, which is incomparable to any country in the world. This is an indisputable fact.

As a result, the poor editors started a new round of overtime. The news of Li Dai's appointment as the U.S. national track and field team instantly hit the headlines of the sports sections of major portal websites. Some websites even put this matter on the headlines version location.

...

Early in the morning, in a very quiet neighborhood on the third ring road of the capital, a bald old man with a somewhat ferocious face came out humming a ditty as if walking around.

This old man is Xue Li, the former deputy head coach of the national track and field team. Now he has already enjoyed the retirement life.

There is an old bean juice shop at the gate of the community, which is also the place Xue Li visits every morning. He went straight in, ordered a bowl of bean juice, looked at the freshly fried coke rings, swallowed his saliva, and finally ordered Ordered a tea egg.

"Hey, Old Xue, why didn't you ask for a focal circle today!" asked a person next to him.

"Fried food is unhealthy. I have high blood pressure, so I have to eat less of it. I ate it yesterday, so I don't dare to eat it today." Xue Li shook his head helplessly, then found a table with soybean juice and tea eggs sat down.

Xue Li knew everyone at the same table. Two old men also came here for breakfast every day, and the other middle-aged man in his thirties was the manager of a nearby real estate agency and lived nearby, so he was considered a neighbor here.

When a few old men got together, they naturally started talking about the mountains, and the real estate agent started to use his mobile phone.

"Oh, what's new, the U.S. track and field team has hired a Chinese as their head coach!" the middle-aged real estate agent said suddenly.

"What did you say? Really? The Americans are so good at track and field, they need us to be the head coach!" An old man next to him asked with a look of surprise.

"That's what the news said, Uncle Chen, if you don't believe me, look!" The real estate agent handed the phone to the old man.

The old man took out his reading glasses from the pocket of his coat, put them on and began to read the news on his phone.

"It's really like this. The U.S. track and field team ushered in the first foreign coach in history." The old man read the headlines of the news, and then said: "Look at the photo, this guy is quite young. It's great to be the head coach of an American." The guy is pretty good too."

"Let me see!" Another old man snatched the phone, read the news, and then said to Xue Li: "Old Xue, this young man is better than you. Head coach, you didn't even get a head coach, look at him, he's half your age, and he's the head coach of the U.S. National Track and Field Team!"

This talking old man looked like the kind of person who was idle all day looking for faults everywhere.

Xue Li looked unconvinced, and he said, "You're bragging! American track and field is so high, they will hire us as the head coach? I think it's fake news!"

"If you don't believe me, look at it! That's what was written in the news, it was announced by the USA Athletic Association, and there are photos on it!" The old man handed the phone to Xue Li.

Xue Li took the phone with disdain, and when he saw Li Dai's photo on the phone news, his expression suddenly froze.

The next second, the chopsticks in Xue Li's hand fell to the ground suddenly, and tears rolled in his eyes.

Seeing Xue Li's appearance, the old man who spoke just now thought that he had provoked Xue Li, so he immediately said, "Old Xue, what's wrong with you? Don't do this! I was just joking. I have a bad mouth , I’m teasing you! Can’t I tell you I’m sorry?”

However, Xue Li's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Old Sun, look at you, you don't have a clue, you must have offended Lao Xue!" Another old man next to him blamed him.

"Don't blame Lao Sun, I'm so happy!" Xue Li touched his tears, pointed to Li Dai's photo on his phone, and said, "This man is my apprentice! His name is Li Dai, he is My apprentice!"

"What? Is he your apprentice?"

"Really? Old Xue, you are amazing. You have taught us the head coach of the American team!"

"The head coaches of the United States are all your apprentices. Old Xue, you are hiding your secrets!"

A few people who were familiar with Xue Li immediately came over.

Even the shop owner came over, looked at Dai Li's photo, and said, "Old Xue, you look very young, you just joined our national team as a coach when you were his age. Right! This is the green out of the blue and better than the blue, right?"

"Yes, green comes out of blue! Green out of blue is good!" Xue Li took a deep breath, but at this moment he felt that his heart was still boiling uncontrollably.
