Chapter 395: Chapter 362 The Captain’s Role is Not So Easy to Fulfill

Wang Kehan, proud and aloof.

This was the vague feeling Wu got when he first met her. Although she very respectfully called him Coach Wu, he saw that she had many ideas of her own.

Actually, when he thought about it, he could understand why. Once the top female fighter, her skills weren’t bad; it was just bad timing that she couldn’t take advantage of the best period, so her status and popularity were not as great as Zhang Weili’s who came after her.

"If she doesn’t follow my tactics, it will be hard for her to win," Li Tongyun said.

Wu looked at the stage, "Fighting like this is a contest of stamina, seeing who makes a mistake first, is it fifty-fifty for the win?"

Li Tongyun shook her head, "No, I’ve seen Wang Kehan’s past matches. If this were her peak period, the odds would be fifty-fifty, but now, her condition against Anchaya, at best it’s thirty-seventy."

Wu turned to look at her and joked, "You’re that sure?"

In fact, when Wu said it was fifty-fifty, he wasn’t just guessing. He could directly see both players’ specific data — muscle strength, endurance, and neural response — which were similar for both Wang Kehan and Anchaya. That’s why he said that in this kind of head-to-head fight, the chances of winning were fifty-fifty.

Li Tongyun spoke calmly, "When it comes to fighting and killing, I’m not as good as you; as a coach, you’re not as good as me."

Wu grimaced, telling himself that the main issue was judgment. I have the system, could you really be better than me?

However, the changes on the field proved that sometimes the system was indeed not omnipotent.

Wang Kehan and Anchaya had been competing in a leg fight for about three minutes. Both were greatly exhausting their stamina and still persisting, but Wang Kehan started making mistakes.

One error was with a side kick where the force was not properly applied, slowing down the speed and almost letting Anchaya grab her leg; the second mistake was when her spin-kick was too slow, allowing Anchaya to kick her in the body first.

Although Wang Kehan immediately corrected both mistakes, Wu still frowned, feeling that if this continued, it might bode ill.

"She hasn’t competed for three years, her physical condition can recover promptly, but not her competitive condition," said Li Tongyun.

"Fighting head-on requires high concentration and places heavy demands on the athlete’s competitive condition. Wang Kehan used to be able to do this, but not anymore. At least she needs time to adapt, compete more, and gradually adjust."

Wu sighed, "Alright, you’re right, you really are better than me as a coach."

System Detection allowed him to see specific data, but some things could not be reflected in data, which was the difference between Wu and Li Tongyun in this respect.

Li Tongyun nodded slightly, "It’s not enough to be just good; you need to listen to me. Although I’ve been a coach for so many years, my primary role has been to analyze opponents, set tactics, and I haven’t really done much in the way of advising team members."

Wu smiled, "Don’t worry, leave it to me. You just focus on doing your job."

Li Tongyun nodded and quietly watched the match on stage.

Although Wu seemed calm and composed on the surface, he was somewhat troubled.

He had trained disciples and taught students, but he was the kind of person who would dictate: Say it once and that’s it. You do what I say, you can ask questions, I can explain, but you can’t go against what I say!

To some extent, Wu and Li Tongyun were alike, both very confident in their own domains.

So, Wu didn’t actually have the experience of coaching team members. If this had been at Bo Yuan Martial Arts Hall, if you didn’t follow my teaching, then you’d be out, plenty more people are eager to learn. But now the Hua Country Team had only these few female athletes, so it clearly wasn’t possible to just kick Wang Kehan out.

"Ai, seems like being the captain of the Hua Country Team isn’t so easy," Wu lamented.

On the stage, Wang Kehan realized her own problems.

Before the match, when Li Tongyun told her to abandon her best fighting style and switch to defensive counterattacks, she was very resistant, but she didn’t outright refuse. It wasn’t until after the first round that Yan Xiaonan, following Li Tongyun’s strategy, lost that Wang Kehan resolved to fight her own way!

In the past, she could have continued to outlast her opponent. She had defeated numerous opponents this way many times before, but now she found herself struggling and making frequent mistakes.

But Wang Kehan refused to give up so easily, she too had trained Muay Thai, she was also known for her leg techniques. This was her first match after coming back, and she dearly wanted to win using her once favorite method, to let the audience in Hua Country know: I, Wang Kehan, am back!

"Stop attacking, defend!"

Li Tongyun suddenly shouted at the stage, still fulfilling her duty as a coach to give reminders when necessary.

But Wang Kehan also had her own thoughts. Her condition indeed had issues, but the opponent was also heavily exhausted. If she suddenly gave up attacking and switched to defense, that was like giving the opponent a chance to breathe. She had worn her opponent down with great effort, to give up now would be such a waste.

Persist! Perhaps in the next second, she could knock down her opponent!

Wang Kehan clenched her teeth and persisted, not changing her style, but continuing to throw kicks.

"Ai."

Wu sighed lightly; he understood Wang Kehan’s choice. It wasn’t like there was no chance of winning fighting like this, but if she had switched to the method advised by Li Tongyun, perhaps the chances would have been better.

However, with Li Tongyun repeatedly reminding her and Wang Kehan still doing things her way, regardless of winning or losing, the relationship between the two might become strained.

It was only the first match, and Wu already felt helpless...

The on-stage struggle heated up. To the audience, Wang Kehan seemed very aggressive, fiercely competing with her opponent, their leg techniques both fast and fierce, thrilling the onlookers. The Hua Country audience at the Hill Sports Arena were screaming frantically, cheering for the Hua Country Team and Wang Kehan.

Only a few could see that Wang Kehan’s condition was problematic, her errors were increasing. Although she could correct them promptly, it was akin to dancing on the edge of a cliff, enormously risky!

Finally, after another mistake by Wang Kehan, Anchaya seized the opportunity and kicked her opponent down.

Bang!

Wang Kehan hit the ground, and Anchaya swiftly pounced to attack.

It was evident that Anchaya wasn’t accustomed to fighting an opponent on the ground, her attack lacking smoothness. But Wang Kehan was equally unfamiliar with countering from the ground. Although she had trained in Ground Skill for half a year, it was asking too much of her to perform well on the ground in her first match after coming back.

So Anchaya attacked awkwardly, but she wasn’t pushed away by Wang Kehan.

After pounding down more than twenty punches, Wang Kehan’s defense finally faltered, and Anchaya caught the opportunity to land four or five punches on her face.

Seeing this, the referee quickly pulled Anchaya away, signaling the end of the match.

"Second round, Thailand Team wins!"
