Translator: dapotatursRelease Date: 09/04/2023

After this practice match revealed its true nature, the athletes, who had enjoyed a few days of easy training, suddenly realized that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

Exactly, where did they find such an angelic coach who could lead his athletes to improve their results continuously?

Li Junhao, a relay team member, had an unpleasant expression. "Coach, isn't this a bit too much? Is it necessary for this practice match to be so extreme?"

Upon hearing this question, Su Bai looked at Li Junhao with a smile. "Is it too much?"

Indeed, was it too much?

The other athletes on the scene also hesitated after hearing the question. Having strong opponents for a practice match was a common thing. It allowed athletes to experience competition against high-level opponents, aiding them in adapting to such scenarios early on, preventing them from panicking when they faced strong opponents during important competitions.

In fact, the national team often arranged for some promising athletes to participate in lower-level international competitions before major international events. This helped the athletes gain experience in international competitions.

Truly speaking, the opponents arranged by the national team for them might be opponents whose level they couldn't match at all. Getting a chance to compete against such opponents was actually a great opportunity.

But...

Except for Qiu Wen, the expressions on the faces of the remaining 400m athletes were far from natural.

Li Junhao, after being countered by Su Bai's questions, turned increasingly sullen. After thinking for a moment, he said with a frustrated tone, "Fine, let's compete then! Who would be worse than those guys?" With that, he turned and walked away.

The atmosphere on the scene was frozen for a moment. Su Bai, however, remained calm. He looked at Zhang Ziyi and the others present and said, "I believe you also want to achieve good results. Rest well tonight, don't exhaust yourselves too much. Tomorrow's practice match is scheduled for the afternoon. Good luck, everyone."

Having said that, Su Bai didn't linger on the training field. He turned and left, heading back to his office to review the training plans for these athletes once again and make some corresponding optimizations for possible situations.

The atmosphere among the athletes left on the field was heavy. Only Qiu Wen seemed fine.

Seeing the situation, Wang Ting temporarily suppressed his urge to comfort the athletes and hurried after Su Bai.

"Coach Su Bai!"

Chasing after Su Bai, Wang Ting called out, stopping him as he headed towards the coaching office.

"Coach Wang?"

"Coach Su Bai..." Wang Ting caught up with Su Bai and his expression seemed hesitant. He looked at Su Bai, paused for a moment, and then said, "Um, Li Junhao isn't that bad actually. He didn't mean anything by his backtalk just now. It's just that he's been spoiled and can't handle the discrepancy..."

Hearing Wang Ting's words, Su Bai naturally understood his meaning. He had no intention of making Wang Ting worry, so he straightforwardly said, "Coach Wang, don't worry, I understand what you mean." After a brief pause, Su Bai added, "In fact, among the current athletes, Li Junhao is one of the athletes I value the most."

"This..." Wang Ting widened his eyes slightly upon hearing Su Bai's words, as if he found it a bit hard to believe.

But what Su Bai said was the truth.
