Chapter 155 Why?

Rugby, which originated in England, began to change the rules after it was transmitted to the United States, so American football is also called American football or American football by other countries. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Joanna disappeared when she arrived at the football field, and after questioning, she found out that she was still a member of the cheerleading team, and she would have to dance later.

They picked up some banners at the entrance, as well as whistles and stuff like that to cheer on the team.

Matthew has a more lively personality and even put the varsity badge of the Latin school on his face to cheer for his school's team.

According to Matthew, in the past, new and old students from their own schools acted as both sides of the game, but this time, in order to make the atmosphere of the game more enthusiastic, the football team of Milton High School, another famous private high school in Boston, was invited to come over to play, which greatly increased the sense of anticipation of all students for this game.

At this moment, the game has not yet started, but Lin Hong has already felt the warm atmosphere of the entire arena.

It's an indoor arena that's completely enclosed, so you can play it even on rainy days, and it's said that the Latin school's rugby stadium is one of the best in the whole of Massachusetts, and it's home to some of the more famous professional games.

The rugby field was huge, with white lines on the green grass with numbers such as "30" and "40", and Lin Hong had no idea what it meant when he first came into contact with the sport.

There was still some time before the official start of the game, and Lin Hong casually asked Matthew about the specific rules of rugby games.

Matthew's eloquence is excellent and his insight is extraordinary, so now Lin Hong basically asks him directly if he has any questions, and he basically does not disappoint him every time.

"The goal of the game is to push the ball into the opponent's touchdown zone and that will lead to a score. There are a variety of ways to score, including holding the ball over the baseline, throwing the ball to a teammate behind the baseline, or kicking the ball straight on the ground between two goalposts, also known as shooting. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. ”

Matthew pointed to the court and said, "The longer boundary is called the sideline, the shorter is the baseline, and the marked lines next to the baseline are the scoring line, and all the progress is measured in yards." The distance between each other's score lines is 100 yards. The scoring area is located 10 yards wide between the baseline and the scoring line, which is the touchdown area. ”

"We usually call the pitch a barbecue, and that's figurative, isn't it?"

Lin Hong agreed with this statement, those lines drawn on the court do seem to be a shelf on a barbecue grill, and when those players stand up, it really looks like barbecue on a barbecue grill.

"The attacking team has four chances to attack, and after four attacks must advance at least 10 yards, and if it is reached, it is called the first attack. At this point, the attacker gets four chances to attack in the other round. And if the attacking team does not advance 10 yards in a round, they lose possession. Any player on the attacking side can pass the ball, as long as the ball is from behind the tee line. When the ball is caught by a player on your team, it is called a successful pass. The receiver is usually a wide receiver or a close end. If the ball touches the ground before anyone catches it, the pass has failed......"

……

Under Matthew's explanation with paintings, Lin Hong finally understood the rules of the game.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is very simple, that is, after the kick-off, desperately push towards the opponent's position, and in the process, the opponent will do their best to stop you, usually using their strong bodies to brutally charge you.

It should be noted that once you start attacking, you can only pass the ball all the way in the direction of advancement, not backwards, otherwise you will have to restart the ball.

In addition, if the ball has landed before it is received, or if the opponent has fallen to the ground and cannot move after receiving the ball, it will be considered that the game has been successfully blocked by the opposing player, and the ball must be put back on the tee and the next attack must be resumed.

"Joanna is here." Si Qian, who had stayed quietly and had not spoken, suddenly said at this time.

Lin Hong turned his head to look and saw Joanna, who was wearing a white tight top and a short red skirt, walking towards this side at the moment, and beside her, there was another person, Carter, the captain of the rugby team, who was talking behind him.

At this moment, Carter was wearing the white uniform of the Latin School team, with his shoulders and chest raised high, and he was holding a helmet in his hand.

Seeing this, Arthur's face suddenly showed anger, clenched his fists, and immediately walked over.

"Hey, man, don't get excited, don't get me wrong." Seeing Arthur's appearance, Carter immediately hurriedly said, "I told you last time, don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't keep my promises." I'm not here to look for you, but for stone. ”

Arthur looked at Joanna and was relieved to see that the other party nodded.

"Hi Stone, hello, I'm Carter, captain of the varsity football team."

Carter greeted Lin Hong warmly, and then stretched out his hand.

"Hello." Lin Hong shook him politely.

"Man, I'm here to ask you for a favor." Time was running out, and Carter said straight to the point, "That's right. We couldn't play today because we had a wide receiver who had a leg muscle strain during training yesterday and I didn't have enough confidence in the substitutes, so I wanted to invite you to make a cameo as a winger. ”

"Wow!" Hearing his words, Matthew simply cried out with envy.

"Pick-up?" Lin Hong is also very strange, he doesn't even know what this receiver does.

"The receiver is the one who catches the ball!" Matthew immediately explained, "In addition, he was responsible for helping to block and coordinate with the quarterbacks. ”

Lin Hong: "Are you sure you're not kidding?" ”

"I know what I'm talking about, Stone, and I mean it." Carter insisted, "I remember vividly the last time you caught my full pass very casually. I'm sure you're a very qualified pick-up for you! ”

"Stone, if what Carter said is true, I hope you can try." Joanna also said at this time, "This game is very important, and we don't want to lose to Milton Middle School. ”

"That's right, Stone, you can do it!"

"Today you will definitely be the brightest star in the entire arena!"

Matthew and Arthur have full confidence in Lin Hong, but they know very well that Lin Hong has unlimited potential.

"Lin Hong, try it, I think, this is also a good experience for you." Si Qian also encouraged on the side.

With everyone's encouragement and persistence, Lin Hong finally nodded, in fact, he did have some expectations for this kind of movement between men in his heart, and he believed that he could do better than them.

After repeatedly confirming the responsibilities and positions of the pick-up players, Lin Hong followed Carter into the locker room.

"Hey guys, I'm going to introduce you to a new player, this is STONE, from China." Carter introduced to the rest of the team as they prepared to get dressed.

"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to play with you."

Lin Hong's greeting was not very enthusiastic, but he could also feel that everyone was not very repulsive to his joining. It's just that because it's close to the game, the atmosphere is a little tense.

In fact, there are several people like Lin Hong who join the team halfway, after all, this is not a professional competition, and it is normal to look for suitable candidates from schools to participate in the competition. It's just that whether or not you can play at that time is two words, counting the substitutes, there are only a dozen people who can really play after a game.

It's just that this time the Chinese kid found by the captain seems to be too thin, can he withstand the opponent's strong collision on the court?

Everyone has such doubts in their hearts.

Lin Hong is the thinnest in this locker room.

"Stone will be a winger in the game, and hopefully everyone will be able to cooperate with each other and work together to beat Milton and finally win!"

"What?"

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard his words.

Listening to Carter's meaning, it was a great surprise that he wanted to let this kid enter the starting lineup directly.

Especially Kane, who was supposed to replace the injured player, was even more unacceptable to this.

"Carter, are you kidding?" Kane stood up, "At his size?" ”

Kane stood up two heads taller than Lin Hong.

"I know what I'm doing!" Seeing that his authority was being challenged, Carter's face suddenly turned ugly, "Kane, I understand your feelings, but your right hand has been injured before...... And this time it's important for us! ”

"It's because of this that I can't let you mess around!" Kane insisted, "Why should he take my place?" I simply doubt he's still in seventh grade! ”

Lin Hong knows that the seventh grade in his mouth is equivalent to the second year of junior high school in China. Xindao, the big man, really guessed correctly, if he went to school according to his normal age, he might not even be in the second year of junior high school now.

However, he wisely chose to remain silent, and at this time, if he spoke, things could get worse.

Since Carter came to him, then he has to be responsible for leveling these people, otherwise, the next game will be a good show. Although he has never participated in such a competition, Lin Hong knows without thinking about it that such a multi-person match is the most important thing about teamwork.

"Captain, isn't this decision a little too hasty?"

"yes, yes. It's a Homecoming game, but our opponent is Milton High School, and we can't afford to lose this game, so you'd better think about it, captain. ”

"Let's start Kane, if we start by a big score, and then let Stone come on and feel the atmosphere of the game."

Everyone objected, thinking that Carter's decision was a bit rash.
