The True Colors of Youth Chapter 178 Regular Army vs. Guerrillas
The training list has been prepared for a long time, but it has not been released to the public.
The reason is very simple. If the coach is not in place, what is the point of this training camp?
There are many basketball enthusiasts in Leiming Town, but the older generation has no basketball skills to impress the public. The coaches hired from outside the town were banned by neighboring counties.
On the list Yu Yan received, the coach column was blank, but her name was clearly filled in as the team leader.
Being able to lead a team to participate in the "village ba" was a happy arrangement, but she was very angry after reading the list.
"I agree with you in selecting elites to form a mixed team for training, but I still hope to maintain the integrity of the Leizhai basketball team. Our team has 12 athletes, can't we still accommodate Pan Lei, Sun Changxing, and Luo Gaozhan?"
She single-handedly supports the Leizhai basketball team. She understands better than anyone else the desire of Pan, Sun, Luo and Yu to participate in the "village ba".
Now that Yu Zhengyi has been injured and unable to play for three months, Long Lisheng of Lei Village and other seniors cannot adapt to high-level competitions.
Even if all the main players from Leizhai are present, there are still 7 competition places left. Isn’t that enough to absorb the elites from each village?
She didn't understand very much: "Why must we strike a balance and assign a quota to each village? Must we strike a balance and make it even?"
The township leader tilted his head and glared: "Is there a problem? I think there is no problem. There are only advantages and no disadvantages to this."
Elite has always been just a vague term with no quantitative standards.
Anything that does not have quantitative standards is often mixed with a lot of personal preferences and subjective wishes, which will cause a lot of controversy because it is difficult for everyone to agree.
Only if there are people from every village participating in the county competition can the crowd be silenced.
Moreover, doing so will also drive all the villages in the town to pay attention to the competition and enhance the collective sense of honor...
He said that these selected players will go to the province to compete for rankings. Other towns and villages selected tall and strong players. If Leiming Town selected fat and short weirdos like Pan Lei and Luo Gaozhan, they would be better.
It seems like they don't take this event seriously.
He also played the list confidently: "Any player here is very good if you pick any one. They are much better than the big fat guy in Lei Village, the telegraph pole guy, and the little short guy."
Yu Yan seemed to be angry at his words and laughed: "Do you only choose people based on this physical condition?"
When he saw Yu Yan's unkind expression, he immediately put on a sincere expression: "I know you have a good relationship with Lei Zhai, but please don't be emotional,"
Yu Yan shook her head: "But your selection is unreasonable! There are 12 people in a team, and you have selected 4 centers and 5 forwards? Just rely on Long Xiaochuan, and Long Zaiyuan and his uncle and nephew as defenders? What if there is one among them?
If one person is injured, there won’t even be a substitute.”
She shook off the flimsy A4 paper and said bluntly that such a "cumbersome" team really couldn't beat the Lei Zhai basketball team composed of Pan Lei, Luo Gaozhan and others.
The township leader was stunned by the question. He took the list and looked at it again and again: "It doesn't say whether they are a center or a forward. How do you know?"
"Please, what do I do? I have been stationed in Leiming Town for two years, and I know everyone here!"
"Oh, from what I say, there is really a problem. The office issued a notice asking each village to recommend. At that time, it put forward a condition, requiring the selection of someone tall and strong. Who would have thought that the recommended people would all be in the same position.
How about I ask them to recommend it again?”
Yu Yan rolled her eyes and stopped with a smile: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, if you fight back, what will happen if every village recommends a bunch of defenders?"
Seeing that the leader was in trouble, she put forward a condition: "Actually, to put it bluntly, you want to form the strongest team, but also maintain stability and appease the people. Why don't you leave these two tasks to me, and I can persuade Lei Village to accept a mixed team?
How about we keep the defeated villages from getting emotional?"
"Why are you bothering? It's enough to give Lei Zhai two places. Long Xiaochuan and Long Zaiyuan are both selected. Pan Lei and the others are self-aware and can't pick them out."
"But I think the reason why 'village ba' is so popular is because it is earthy and pure. It does not have too many rules or too much baggage of winning or losing. If you do this, you will destroy its original flavor.
It’s original.”
"Xiao Yu, you are a cadre sent by the county. You have a high position and can see far, but we also have our own difficulties."
"If you don't agree, I won't go to Leizhai to be a lobbyist. I won't be the team leader either. You can look for whomever you like. Anyway, if the people from Leizhai come down the mountain and block your town government compound, it's okay.
It’s none of my business.”
"you……"
Seeing that the other party was speechless, Yu Yan smiled sweetly and put forward another idea: "No one in Leiming Town is more familiar with the players of each team than me. How about you be the team leader and I will be the head coach, selecting people, training and arranging tactics?
How about leaving it all to me?"
"How can I be the leader of the basketball team? The job of our township cadres is to focus on production, promote the economy and protect people's livelihood. How can I have free time to be the leader of the basketball team?"
The leader didn't have much energy to discuss the basketball team with her, so he simply said with a stroke of pen: "Since you are so familiar with the basketball business in our town, let's pick up the team leader and coach first, and wait until we find someone.
We will make adjustments with better coaching candidates."
Yu Yan got what she asked for and went out laughing: "Okay, since I am both the team leader and the coach, I will be the one to select the training team members. You are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks!"
"Hey? This isn't right. Whoever you choose must report to us first!"
"Okay, just wait!"
She took the chicken feathers as an arrow and ran away with great excitement.
When she reported the gossip to Long Xiaochuan earlier, she was also very entangled and guilty. She also thought about it carefully, analyzed and compared many player information, and built the strongest lineup in Thunder Town in her notebook.
Except for Long Xiaochuan, Long Zaiyuan, Pan Lei, Luo Gaozhan, and Sun Changxing from Leizhai, the others are all top experts in each village.
There are Yang Yaye from Huaqiao, Du Gangnan from Shangquan Village, Gong Zhengyang from Xiliu, and Gao Fu from Houwu. As for the remaining four places, they are all players from Yucun, namely Shi Lang, Xue Zhuang and
Liu Dingding.
Now that I have become the team leader and coach, this fantasy is about to come true. I can't be too happy.
After coming out of the Leiming Town Government, she rushed to Leizhai as soon as possible to complete her current primary task - to convince the people of Leizhai to accept the idea of a mixed team.
The biggest obstacle is actually whether Long Xiaochuan and the others accept the arrangement of playing together with Amemura Ishiro, Xue Zhuang and others.
When she arrived at Lei Village, she deliberately suppressed her joy and pretended to be heavy-hearted as she stepped into the courtyard of Long Xiaochuan's house.
Long Xiaochuan was restless, hesitating whether to call Du Qiu and explain the matter to him face to face, telling him that the grudge between Leizhai and Yucun did not allow outsiders to interfere...
