Almighty Coach

In the stadium, everyone had a look of horror on their faces. What happened here today was something they couldn't even imagine.

The first place in the 400-meter qualifying "Group of Death" turned out to be a disabled athlete who lost both feet!

"Am I dazzled, the 'Blade Warrior' was the first one to cross the finish line just now? He is disabled! He has no feet, and there is only a piece of calf left. People without feet will faster than a man with feet?"

"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say this is the 'group of death'? Why is the first place a disabled person? What are the other seven contestants doing? Are they all learning from turtles? Why is a disabled person Get first place?"

"Fake match, this must be a fake match! Otherwise, how could the disabled get the first place in the group! This must be because the other seven contestants are letting go, and they have all been bribed!" A person who has read too many mystery novels swears Said.

But at this moment, the results of the contestants also appeared on the electronic display.

This is indeed the "death group". The athletes are all capable of entering the main match, so the results are also at the level of the main match. There are many people who are approaching 45 seconds, and even some people are within 45 seconds. Compared with them, the results of the first three groups are simply horrible. Judging from the standards of the qualifying competitions for the World Championships, it is estimated that this level of results will only appear in the United States.

Philip, who ranked first, scored 44.72 seconds!

"44 seconds 72, he can run this kind of time! And other people's results are also very good. This is not because other athletes let go, and there is no fake race. The 'Blade Warrior' is really fast."

"I remember that in the last Olympic Games, the worst time to advance to the final was 44.79 seconds, which means that 'Blade Warrior' has the strength to enter the Olympic final!"

"Now I seem to know how fast this 'Blade Warrior' in Los Angeles can run! Will today's result be his limit?"

"Then you will know when you watch the game tomorrow. He is the first in the group and has already advanced to tomorrow's main match!"

...

Oliver crossed the finish line second, but his expression was extremely annoyed and disappointed.

"I actually lost to a disabled person!" At this moment, Oliver seemed to have lost his soul, looking like a walking dead without thinking.

Not only Oliver, Lu-Jackson, Marcus Garcia, Joe Christian... the other players in the same group also looked lonely.

They are all professional athletes, and they are all the better ones among professional athletes. Although it is common for them to lose a game, losing to a disabled athlete is something they cannot accept.

"44 seconds 72! How could he be so fast? He can run so fast without feet!" Oliver finally saw Philip's results.

The time of 44 seconds 72, Oliver only ran out during training, in the official competition, Oliver has never achieved such a result.

At this moment, in Oliver's heart, the original contempt for Philip had turned into a deep sense of fear. Oliver looked at Philip, as if he saw the "big devil" in his eyes.

...

Lopez walked around the office, looking like he was having a mental battle.

Finally, Lopez made a decision. He picked up the phone and dialed the number of USA Athletics CEO Williams.

"Sir, hello, I'm Lopez, and I have something to report to you. Do you remember that Baron Philip, that 'Blade Warrior'."

Before Lopez finished speaking, Williams on the other end of the phone asked, "Have you not dealt with that guy yet?"

"No, I accepted his registration after you ordered yesterday. And he also came to participate in the competition today." Lopez said.

"I see. You don't need to report to me how to do it, as long as he doesn't cause us any more trouble." Williams said impatiently.

"Yes sir, I don't know, whether this is the trouble he caused us, that's why I want you to report." Lopez paused, and then said: "He has advanced, and the disabled person is qualified Advance in the game!"

"What are you talking about? Promotion? He is a disabled person, he has no feet! This can also be promoted?" Williams asked in surprise.

"And he still advanced as the number one in the group. So I would like to ask you now, should he participate in tomorrow's main match? After all, he is a disabled person, so it's fine to participate in the qualifying match, but tomorrow's main match It is the trials of the World Athletics Championships, and it will be broadcast live across the United States, shall we let him compete with the top athletes in the country?" Lopez asked.

"Lopez, can't you arrange a more difficult group for him?" Williams began to blame instead.

"Sir, I have already arranged a 'death group' for him, but he still qualified. His time is 44.72 seconds. According to the situation in previous years, this time is placed in the main race and can enter the final." Luo Pace's tone was full of bitterness.

"You mean, we might still see him in the final?" Williams' voice was full of disbelief.

"If he can also play like this, the possibility is not ruled out!" Lopez replied honestly.

"Damn it! Philip, you might as well just tell me he can finish in the top three, take a World Championship spot, and represent the United States of America in the World Athletics Championships! What will the world say then? They'll say, oh , You see, the great United States, the world's number one track and field power, can only send a cripple without feet to participate in the competition!" Williams said a little angrily.

"I'm sorry, sir." Lopez continued: "How about we simply refuse him to participate in tomorrow's main game?"

"Refused him to participate? Is your brain rusty?" Williams continued: "A disabled person successfully advanced to tomorrow's main match. Don't you think that such a rare thing, those reporters won't smell it? Maybe That 'Blade Warrior' is currently being interviewed by reporters! If you refuse him to participate, what will the public opinion think of us?"

"So what should we do?" Lopez asked.

"Up to now, we can only respond to all changes with the same." Williams said helplessly.

...

As Williams expected, Philip was being interviewed by reporters at this time.

Not far away, Dai Li and Steven were sitting together. Dai Li was holding a cup of coffee in his hand, while Steven was wolfing down a takeaway pizza.

"It's not easy to be your manager. In order to contact the reporter, you have to work so hard that you don't eat until now." Dai Li said.

"Many people think that managers are like vampires who live by sucking blood from athletes. But how can there be a job in this world where you lie at home and count money?" Steven smiled self-deprecatingly: "In the United States, managers The competition among them is also very fierce, with people constantly joining and changing careers. In fact, the market is so big, just like this pizza in my hand, if I eat one more piece, others will get one less piece. Those who arrive will only be hungry."

"As long as Philip can maintain this state, I don't think you need to worry about being hungry." Dai Li casually glanced at Philip who was being interviewed.

"Yeah, I've already started planning to leave my rented apartment and buy a house of my own." Steven nodded, and continued, "To be honest, I really regret it now."

"What do you regret?" Dai Li asked.

"I regret that 5%!" Steven sighed helplessly: "Based on the current situation, Philip's advertising endorsement income this year will definitely exceed 1 million, and the extra 500,000, I will give you 5% %, you lost tens of thousands of dollars for no reason. Did you expect that today will happen?"

Dai Li didn't deny it, he nodded: "That's right, I know that Philip has the ability to compete with healthy people, but this ability has never been developed."

"Your judgment is very accurate." Steven swallowed the pizza in his mouth, and then said: "Then, do you think it is possible for him to advance to tomorrow's main match?"

"There are two rounds in the main competition, the preliminary round and the final round. Are you asking him whether he can advance to the final round or get a place in the World Championships?" Dai Li asked.

"I want to know the answers to both." Steven said, wiping the pizza sauce on his mouth with a tissue.

"There are 24 players participating in the preliminary round. In addition to the 12 athletes who advanced in the qualifying round today, there are also 12 seeded players. Those 12 seeds are the top athletes in the United States, including the players from the last World Championships and the Olympic Games. There are also contestants from the Diamond League. These 24 people will compete for 8 places in the finals. According to the rules, the top two in each group and the two best third-place teams can advance to the next round."

Dai Li said, looked at Philip who was not far away again, and continued, "I don't think it is a problem for Philip to advance to the final as long as the group is too poor. As for participating in the World Championships..."

"Not likely, is it?" Steven asked.

Dai Li nodded: "Only the top three can participate in the individual events of the World Championships, and the fourth place can participate in the 4x400-meter relay race of the World Championships, that is to say, half of the eight finalists can enter the World Championships On the stage of the competition, this chance seems great, but for Philip, it is very difficult, the opponent is too strong."

Speaking of this, Dai Li sighed helplessly: "Among the 12 seeded contestants, two of them can run within 44 seconds. These two have already made reservations for two spots, and the other three's results are within 44 seconds. Within 44.5 seconds, the strength of the rest of them is comparable to that of Philip. If Philip wants to stand out from the crowd, it is almost impossible to complete the task. Unless he can create a miracle by himself!"
