Rugby, originated in 1823 in the central city of Rugby, England, after nearly two hundred years of development, has become an international sport, although because it is not common in areas outside Europe and the United States, so it is not included in the Olympic Games, but it has been popular in European and American countries to this day, as mentioned above, in the United States, it is definitely the most popular sport, there is no one.

Of course, Huaxia calls it rugby because the shape of the ball is like an olive, but there is no such name in foreign countries, and although it originated in the United Kingdom, it has spread to the United States and other countries, and has been improved according to local conditions, so American football, Canadian football, Australian rules football and so on were born.

Although Zhou Xing knew a little about this kind of movement, he was also very limited, so he was stunned at first, and then shook his head and said, "I really don't understand this." ”

Anne frowned, with a look of disappointment in her eyes: "I thought you were so good at English, you would definitely understand something." ”

Zhou Xing was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Anne glanced at Jura and said, "In the United States, football is called American football, and this sport has a national super league called American Football League, or NFL for short, which is held in the second half of each year to the beginning of the next year. ”

Anne spoke very slowly, and Zhou Xing listened quietly and didn't ask much.

"This competition is similar to the Got Talent, divided into five sub-divisions according to the region, after the preseason and regular season, the first place in each division automatically advances to the national championship game, and two teams compete for the last Super Bowl Finals!

Anne continued: "In the United States, the NFL is the most watched superleague, and there is at least one team in every big city, all of which are commercial, in the same NBA model. Behind every team, there is a group company that is wholly sponsored and managed. ”

Anne thought for a moment and added: "Just like the 16 teams in your Huaxia Football Super League, each of them has a management team behind it. ”

After finishing speaking, Anne looked at Zhou Xing: "Do you understand this?"

Zhou Xing nodded.

Anne hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "My full name is Anne Mara, a member of the Mara family behind the New York Strongmans, and my father is now the chairman of the Strongmen. ”

Before Zhou Xing could react much, Jura and Huo Nuo looked over in surprise.

Especially Huo Nuo, although he has reached this age and social status and has experienced a lot of big scenes, when he suddenly heard the news at this moment, his pupils also contracted in an instant!

However, he quickly recovered, but Huo Nuo had also been staring at Anne, still with an incredible look on his face, obviously this news made him difficult to digest for a while.

The New York Strongmen, although it sounds like just a team, and even people who don't understand it will laugh at it, what is the name of the manager of such a team, but in the United States, every NFL team is worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars, or even billions of dollars, and when converted into Chinese coins, it is tens of billions.

And being a part of the league, every team has experienced decades to nearly 100 years, generations of development and efforts, and it is not surprising to call it family.

Jura knew that Anne loved football and that her family was very wealthy, but she didn't know that she was the daughter of the current head of the New York Strongmen.

Because the strongman team cannot be described simply as a commercial enterprise, otherwise the wealth of the Jura family far exceeds that of the Mara family, but such a team, decades of development, as well as his influence and symbolism, is very different from a company, because it is not purely for profit.

As for Hono, he didn't know Annie's identity before, after all, the tutor was only in charge of her studies, and she didn't care about the family situation, unless the student took the initiative to tell her.

Because of its economic status, New York has two football teams, each of which has at least seventy or eighty years of history, and has a deep impression in the minds of generations of New Yorkers, and even Americans.

As a professor at New York University, Hono is a native of New York, and the name of the strongman team is even more popular, as early as his youth, he liked football very much, and it was his dream to visit the strongman club.

Of course, this kind of confrontational and attritional competition has very strict requirements for physical fitness, and due to physical conditions, Huo Nuo has not been able to stick to it after college.

Over the years, Huo Nuo has also been to watch the strongman's home game, and he is excited for every goal, but he didn't expect that the daughter of the strongman team owner is his student!

This made Huo Nuo look at Anne again, and there was a little change, no longer the teacher looked at the students like before, but a kind of long-admired happiness, even if the other party was just a girl, not a player on the strongman team.

On the contrary, it is Zhou Xing, who knows a little about American football at most, but the strongman, sorry, he really hasn't heard of it.

This caused Zhou Xing to not only have no surprised expression so far, but showed some doubts, but Zhou Xing's doubts were to look at Zhu La, but he was embarrassed to take the initiative to ask Annie, because this inevitably meant a slap in the face.

Jura understood what Zhou Xing meant, so he roughly explained.

"That's it, do you understand?"

Zhou Xing nodded, just talking about this kind of background, it is not comparable to ordinary sports clubs.

At this time, Zhou Xing finally understood why they reacted this way, especially Huo Nuo, supposedly with his identity, he shouldn't be so out of shape.

But Zhou Xing still didn't understand, and Anne was telling herself what to do now.

You must know that she has studied with Huo Nuo for two years, and she has known Jura for a year, and she is still the best friend, so she didn't say anything about this relationship, but she had just met her for the second time, and she revealed her identity, which made Zhou Xing feel a little ridiculous.

If it weren't for Jura here, Zhou Xing would have thought that this woman was a liar.

However, Zhou Xing is not a fool, hearing Annie's words, some speculation also floated in his mind, but he still wanted to hear what Annie had to say.

Seeing Zhou Xing's eyes, Anne continued: "The NFL has dozens of teams across the country, and after the elimination of the preseason, four of the five major regions are left in each region for the regular season. ”

"It's the regular season, and which team can finish first in the division in the regular season to qualify for the national championship. ”

Speaking of this, Anne smiled wryly: "It's a pity that our strongman team has not been able to break out of the regular season for six consecutive years, so we can't participate in the national championship, let alone compete for the final Super Bowl." ”

The second update arrives, there are so few recommended votes, please, trouble brothers and sisters.
