The management said: "I don't care, you still have 5 games in the next two weeks, you have to win at least 4 of these 5 games, I only allow you to lose one, if you continue to mess up, don't blame me for deducting your salary, you must know that your terms have bad results in this item, I can have the right to deduct your salary." ”

The coach nodded helplessly and said: "But you also know that our ultimate goal is not just to enter the playoffs, even if our current results are lost all the way, we can still enter the playoffs, but isn't our ultimate goal to reach the finals?" So you must pave the way for these things in advance. ”

"Don't talk to me about this nonsense, I don't want to listen to this nonsense, now all I know is these sponsors, because you have already run away, I am finally begging people to tell grandpa and grandma, let them continue to watch a few more of your games, if your next performance is still like this, people may just leave with the money, who will pay for this loss."

"Okay, then I know, I'll go back and talk to the players so that they can play well."

After finishing speaking, the coach left here and returned to the club, and after returning to the club, everyone saw the coach's unhappy face, Lin Feng hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Coach, what did they say when you went to management today? It's not that we've been doing too badly lately. ”

The coach nodded and said: "What else can there be besides this, they said that because we have been playing so poorly recently, several sponsors are not ready to sponsor us, and they are ready to run away with the money, so he gave us an ultimatum to let us only lose at most one game in the next two weeks, otherwise we will have to deduct our salary." ”

Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "It's simple if you don't want to deduct your salary, I think if we continue to play hard in the future, we should be able to win these games, because our next two weeks of competition are not very difficult, they are all relatively ordinary and mediocre teams, but in this way, our previous efforts will not be in vain?" If you hit it back, it's easy to run into SC. ”

"So what do you say you want to do? Now they have given us an ultimatum, if we continue to be obsessed like this, they will be really angry, although they have said several times that they will deduct our wages, but in the end they have not deducted them, but this time I think they will really deduct our wages. ”

"Deduction, deduction, when we go back, if we play well, we will bring these companies and management back, I guess they will also return to us, they are not bad at deducting this money, it is just a threat to us, if we play well and they want this bonus, they will still agree."

The coach looked at everyone and asked: "Then in this case, let's raise our hands to vote, after all, we are a big family, and I can't have the final say on everything, not to mention that this kind of thing involves deducting wages, not everyone will agree." ”

The coach looked around and found that everyone didn't speak, and Lin Feng said at this time.

"I think so, if you ask directly, even if someone disagrees in his heart, he can't say it clearly, after all, everyone usually has such a good relationship, because if this salary deduction is a betrayal of the team, it must be a little uncomfortable, so I think everyone should take a piece of paper and vote anonymously."

The coach nodded and said, "This method is not bad, but you have been together for so long, whose handwriting should be clearly visible, in the end, isn't it still the same." ”

Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "Then that's it, you don't need to write words on the paper, if you agree to continue to mess up this time, just draw a circle on the paper, if you don't agree, draw a cross, so that no one can see anyone's handwriting, anyway, just draw a pattern, everyone is the same." ”

After saying this, everyone thought it was very good, and then the coach handed out a piece of paper to everyone, and then everyone went back to their rooms.

After all, if you're outside, it's easy for others to see what you're drawing, and you should be able to tell whether it's a circle or a fork just from the movements of your hands, so it's safer for everyone to go back to their respective rooms to vote this time, so it really becomes an anonymous vote.

After a while, everyone came out of the room and handed the folded notes to the coach, and the coach took everyone's notes and opened them one by one to show everyone.

It seems that even in this anonymous situation, everyone is united, and such a team, if they can't do well in the playoffs, it really can't be justified, after all, they are so united.

After everyone made this decision, the next game was unchanged and continued to lose all the way.

Two weeks later, they undoubtedly lost all the games in those two weeks, and at this time the management could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts, and went straight to the club, and when they came in, they saw that everyone was still working hard, the management said.

"I'm still training here, but I'm working hard when I'm training, why is it so bad when I'm playing? Didn't I take my words seriously, didn't I tell you that these two weeks of competition are very important, and that there are sponsors who will watch your games? How did it end up like this? ”

After seeing the management staff coming, everyone stopped the training in their hands, and the coach came over and said to the management staff.

"Maybe we've been playing for too long, and we can't slow down for a while, so the recent games haven't been very good, but I can guarantee that this time everyone is really serious, but we really didn't win the game, and we are also sorry, but we guarantee that we will definitely play much better in the playoffs than this."

"Don't pretend to be here for me, I think you just didn't pay attention to what I said, I said let you play well, you didn't take it to heart at all, continue to mess with me here, you think you can play easily in the playoffs, but have you thought about the pressure on the management's side, now that the sponsorships are all gone, are you satisfied?"

Lin Feng stepped forward and said: "Then deduct the salary according to the previous regulations, we did play seriously, but we did not win the game, we are also very sorry, since we have promised the management what we have not done, then what should we do, we all have no complaints." ”

After hearing this, the management said, "Do you think we really won't deduct your salary?" Although I said that I would deduct your salary a few times before, but in the end I didn't really deduct it, because we saw that you were really working too hard, and other teams trained until five or six o'clock in the afternoon every day.

You train every day until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and I know it's a voluntary effort, so I haven't deducted your wages all the time, but this time I really can't indulge you anymore. ”

Lin Feng nodded and said: "We also know that the management is not easy, since this time it has caused a lot of losses to the management, let's deduct it from our salary, it's really not okay to lower our fire standards, everyone gritted their teeth and survived this while, when the time comes, we will play well in the assembly competition, and there will definitely be new sponsors." ”

The management snorted coldly, and then left the place, and everyone couldn't help but laugh secretly after he left, at this time the coach said.

"Be serious, the leader may not have gone far, if you hear you snickering here, wouldn't you be angry."

Lin Feng said: "If I were a member of the management team, I would have been angry a long time ago, as the leader of this team, the people below didn't listen to him, and caused such a big loss to the team, we really played big this time." ”

The coach replied, "Aren't we also for the sake of the team?" They always feel that some things are too risky to take risks, but we believe in ourselves and we can definitely bring greater benefits to the team, and although we don't see any benefits now, they will definitely thank us for doing so when the time comes. ”

Lin Feng turned his head and continued to start the training in his hands, and then said: "Then continue training, everyone, don't take it seriously when you go back to the playoffs, it won't look good." ”

Then everyone started to train intensively, and in the following days, although they still lost every game as usual, they still trained hard every day.

As the days went by, the regular season finally came to an end, and at this time Dad's team was ranked 15th.

According to the rules, all teams in the top 16 of the league can enter the playoffs, and then start the group stage in pairs, which is decided by random draw.

After the regular season, there will be 1~2 weeks of rest, so everyone can finally relax during this time.

The other teams are organizing team building, some have gone out to travel, some are drinking and singing outside, only Lin Feng and their team are still training in the team day and night, and they dare not relax at all.

On this day, Lin Feng said to the coach: "According to our current results, it is estimated that we will fight directly in the second round, and now the first place in the league, the first place in the current league, that is, last year's unavoidable champion, although we said that we escaped from the SC team, but if we beat them, it is not very easy to play." ”

The coach thought for a while and said: "According to the rules of the game, the first round of the group stage is a random draw, and after the promotion, the second round is played according to the ranking of the previous regular season, so as long as the 16th place behind us can enter the second round, then they will play the first place, and we can play against the second or third place." ”

Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "It's too difficult for you to expect them to qualify for the group stage, you must know that this team has always been at the bottom of the league in the first half of the season, until the middle of the season, they made a big change, and it can be regarded as a little improved, just the first few games have just entered the ranks of the playoffs." ”

The coach said: "But now the rankings are already here, we can only hope to see if the 16 can break out of the group stage, but even if they can't break out of the group stage, we have nothing to prove last year's defending champions, and in this year's regular season, when we play against them, as long as we play seriously, we will win them all." ”

Lin Feng replied: "This way is indeed like this, but it is very likely that they regard us as their imaginary enemy, and the general team will deliberately hide their tactics when playing against their imaginary enemy, and then play poorly, let us relax our vigilance, and wait until the playoffs to exert our real strength to directly eliminate us, and catch us off guard." ”

Speaking of this, the coach seemed to think of something, picked up the mobile phone in his hand and checked all the results of the team that was the champion this season, and the coach found that when they faced other teams, they had never lost all of them, almost never lost, only when facing them, they were almost all defeated.

At this time, Lin Feng said: "How to find the problem, in fact, I have already observed, since our team began to be at the bottom, I have been observing this No. 1 ranked team, and I have also conducted a lot of investigations on them."

I found out that they were actually very fierce against other teams, but when they were timid when they beat us, it always felt like it was deliberate, but there was no evidence. ”

The coach nodded and said: "It seems that they really regard us as strong opponents in the playoffs, so they will retain their strength in front of us, I can't imagine that a team like ours from an amateur team can become a thorn in the eyes of last year's defending champions, I really don't know whether to give me sex or sadness." ”

Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "Of course you should be happy, you must know that their team has a very strong team as the defending champion, I heard that their team also has a special tactical analyst, and some people who analyze other teams, and these people's daily work is to study the strength of other teams."

Since they can treat us as a strong opponent, it means that they think we are the most difficult to deal with after analysis, which also shows that we are now the top team in this league, and even the defending champions are afraid of us. ”
