When he was in Chile, Tang Huai specifically mentioned the request to watch the game with the team, and flattered Banksy all the way, and did a lot of miscellaneous things.

This foreigner agreed very simply at the time, why did he regret it at the end of the day?

Seeing Tang Huai's hideous face, annoyed like a barking dog, he knew that it was a curse without a translator, Banks was not angry and counterattacked, he was immersed in the pleasure of bullying people, enjoying the fun of "I just play you", but he was still coy on the surface: "Tang, there are still many athletes in our team, they also have to train, and they also have to participate in FIS points competitions such as the Intercontinental Cup, without you to lead the team, what will happen to their future?" ”

Banks deliberately retaliated, but he deliberately found a high-sounding reason, which completely ate Tang Huai's public heart.

In the end, Tang Huai was defeated again and could only be sent to the airport, wishing Li Changyi and others good results.

Without Tang Huai to lead the team, Li Changyi's heart was clouded, and he had a hunch that this competition might not go very smoothly. If Banksy continues to stumble on himself, he won't hold back this time.

After more than 10 hours of flight, the 10-member Chinese delegation (coaches, team doctors, athletes and translators) arrived in Montafon, Austria 12 days ahead of schedule.

After settling into the booked hotel, they rushed to the ski slopes to learn about this bizarre track environment.

As the intelligence video shows, the whole track is like a lazy python, with only a long S-shaped corner, and 80% of the obstacles are UUU-shaped continuous wave packets, one deeper than the other.

They stood outside the track and watched for a while when they encountered four athletes who were stuck at the bottom of the slope, helplessly unloaded their skis and complained loudly.

The onlookers, however, watched the excitement, laughed and scolded loudly, and they were all eager to try, thinking that they must be fine.

Chinese athletes are also talking about the difficulty of the course, and they are divided into two groups.

Li Changyi, Zhang Zhiwang, and Li Pingping felt that this track was difficult, with only two gentle corners, which were not conducive to tactical breakthroughs.

Wu Lihan and Wu Ying both think that this track is very simple, and the first level of 5 consecutive wave bags is a roadblock, and after the last two corners, there is a smooth sprint straight, which is very easy.

They look at the problem according to their own advantages, and their positions are of course different, Gao Entropy and Fan Qingwan don't speak, they only look at the coach's views and attitudes.

Banksy didn't say anything, and muttered beside him with a gloomy and ugly face: "Damn, I knew, I knew it was going to be like this!" ”

The interpreter who accompanied the team was temporarily assigned and didn't know much about the situation, so he came over to ask him what had happened.

Banksy pointed to the people in Wuyang in front of him and said: "There will be more athletes coming in two days, everyone needs to adapt to the track, we can't take turns a few times a day, what kind of drill tactics are we talking about?" ”

It's a real problem, but it's not a big one. Pessimists see only darkness, while optimists see the stars of hope.

In fact, except for Austria's players, other athletes are on the same level, that is, world famous players such as Hemerin, Waltier, Samkova, Moioli, Therespage, and Somaliva and Wiscintin, who shined in the last World Cup, also do not have enough time to do adaptive training.

I arrived many days early, but everyone only practiced 8 times on the track and 6 times together, and there were too many people who made appointments behind, and they couldn't line up at all, and it was useless to add money.

Solo training is a luxury, and it's a stressful way to train because you spend money to monopolize the track and have to endure the consequences of hundreds of people watching from the sidelines.

If it is humiliating to be at the bottom of the wave in the first level, even if it barely passes, the result of the finishing time in the later races is not high, and it will also become a laughing stock.

Zhang Zhiwang suffered deeply.

He injured his wrist and struggled to pull his strength on the starting platform, and his speed was not enough at each start, so he got stuck at the bottom of the last three-meter high slope.

At this point, there would be bursts of laughter all around, and some people would even remember his ski suit and face and bet on whether he would be able to cross the slope.

Banks did not give comfort and encouragement, but sneered, saying that he should not come, and that he would rest well in the country if he was injured, why should he pretend to be holding skis every day?

In the end, Zhang Zhiwang only practiced 4 times and then gave up, just giving up the training opportunity to free up time and money for others. He said that he would not give up participating in the race, because Coach Tang said that even if he climbs, he must climb to the finish line!

This sentence seems to some people to be very inspirational, but it is taboo here in Banks, he is the head coach, everyone should take his words as a guideline, Tang Huai is just an assistant coach, so gangster, how to carry out his own work?

The head coach was not in a good mood, and the negative attitude affected the whole team.

It is said that during the period before the competition, you should observe the characteristics of your competitors and find ways to judge the tactics, but Banks only allows everyone to move freely on the ordinary snow field to maintain the snow feeling and competition status.

This foreigner is obviously not good at playing unprepared headwinds, and he even spent an afternoon regretting it, feeling that this sub-station should not refuse Tang Huai to follow, otherwise he can find someone to take the blame.

The roof leak coincided with overnight rain, the morale of the Chinese athletes was low, and the weather before and after the competition day was also very bad, with wind and snow for many days.

The Montafon Ski World Cup Organising Committee, the International Ski Federation, the Austrian Ski Association and other stakeholders met and decided to continue the slalk event without changing the dates according to the weather forecast.

Temperatures are low, visibility is poor, and snow conditions are full of uncertainty, with gusts of wind above level 5. Everyone had never trained in such a snowy weather, and they were a little drumming in their hearts.

On the morning of race day, the sky was still overcast, but fortunately the snow had stopped and the occasional wind gusts of wind blowing the pennant had lessened.

Banks got up early in the morning and went around the snow resort, took a thermometer to check the snow conditions, and came back to order a few models of ski wax, so that everyone could quickly change the wax on the skis.

Everyone hurried through breakfast and swarmed into the waxing room. I wanted to finish it quickly, so that I could go outside with my skis to get used to it, but the room couldn't accommodate so many people, and there weren't enough tools, so I lined up in the order of the competition, and whoever came on the field first was busy first.

On the other hand, the athletes of other teams are obviously better treated than the Chinese team, and they have a special waxing room responsible for the maintenance and management of skis.

The warm-up before the start of the game, the treatment is also different, the athletes have a whole set of team help, there are observation and recording of heart rate and physical state, there are pointers who point out today's technical defects, and there are also physiotherapists who help knead and beat muscles.

On the Chinese team's side, Banks only cared about Gao Entropy and Fan Qingwan's warm-up, and the others didn't help at all, not even a word of guidance and encouragement.
