Chapter 110: The Only Winner

Meanwhile, Coach Lu, the chief coach of the Youth Team, was sitting in the meeting room, anxiously waiting the results. He was holding a form in his hand that listed all the events. After each title of each event there was a big red cross, indicating that the Youth Team had failed in the event.

Fail, fail again! We began preparing one week beforehand, yet we are being disastrously defeated. Nantan Middle School is strong, and they are well-prepared. We will be their stepping-stone.

Coach Lu sighed with disappointment. The Youth Team was good at middle and long distance running, especially in the 1500m and 5000m. The team had earned several national championship titles in the 1500m, while in the 5000m, the team had also raised some Asian Games champions.

Unfortunately, the youth team had failed in the two events. The main reason for this was that the best athletes had been selected to the Provincial Sport Team, and the new athletes were not good enough to compete yet.

Damn! If I had another half year to train the new athletes, we would not fail! Coach Lu gnashed his teeth in anger.

Every team has reported their results except for the throwing team. I will cross my fingers and pray that we win at least one of the four throwing events. Coach Lu stared at the form, praying in his heart.

Javelin is not our strong suit, so forget about that; Coach Sun of the discus team is experienced. He might win; hammer is one of our strengths. Coach Cai has been evaluated as an excellent coach for two years. Even though the best athletes were taken away, he should be able to handle the situation.

Finally, Coach Lu focused on the shot put team.

”Dai Li is the new coach of the shot put team It seems like he has a good relationship with Coach Xu from the swimming team. Coach Xu called me to take care of Dai Li. Because Dai Li was introduced as a person with ability, he should have some strengths. Alas, Nantan's trump card, the National Youth Games third place finisher, is a shot putter. We cannot defeat that guy.

Suddenly, Coach Lu's phone rang. He picked it up and answered the call.

”Coach Lu, we failed in javelin!” said the caller.

”Got it.” Coach Lu was not surprised. Javelin was not their strength.

One minute later, Coach Lu's phone rang again.

”Coach Lu, we failed in discus! But we didn't lose by too much...” said the caller.

”Failure is failure, no matter how much we lose by,” said Coach Lu. ”Tell me the details...”

Ending the conversation, Coach Lu shook his head helplessly.

I expected the discus team to win the game. Seems like my expectations were too high. Coach Sun is a skillful coach, but he does not have any amazing athletes. Now we have to depend on the hammer team. If Coach Cai also fails, our team will be completely dominated by Nantan.

Coach Lu put his phone right in front of him as he stared at the screen, waiting for the next phone call.

Ring ring... the phone rang. Coach Lu picked it up immediately.

”So, how are you doing over there? Did we win?” Coach Lu asked straightforwardly.

”We almost won!” the caller answered.

”Almost! So we fail again!” Coach Lu was upset.

Coach Cai of the hammer team was an excellent coach, and was also one of the best coaches on the Youth Team. Coach Lu was praying that he would win, but the result was not what he had hoped for.

All the good athletes were taken away! We cannot do it! If even Coach Cai failed, then we have been defeated by Nantan!
