Chapter 32: The Snowy Mountain Fairy

The three of them played on the couch until the afternoon, and after dinner, they lazily drove to Carson City, the seat of state government in Nevada. Carson City is nestled in a valley formed by the Sierra Nevada Mountains, just ten kilometers from Reno.

In Carson City, you can see the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada more closely, and it seems that it is right in front of you, but if you want to go up, you may climb about two or three mountains from Carson City to reach the top of the mountain, which is the principle of the legendary Lookout Mountain and a dead horse.

For Zhang Cheng, it's just a matter of looking at this snow-capped mountain, and there's no need to really climb it. The top is very desolate, but the scenery does not look beautiful from a distance, nor does it seem that every Chinese has been to the Great Wall, as Americans think.

After getting authorization from the Carson State government to form the Reno Thong Indoor Women's Soccer Team, Jenny drove back to Reno.

Zhang Cheng asked: "Where can I find players in Zhilu Dao?" ”

Jenny: "I called the sisters who stayed in school and got a list of some of the most promising. ”

"Where do the people on the list come from? University of Nevada Women's Soccer Team? ”

"No, it's from the varsity cheerleading team, dance troupe, women's beach soccer team, and women's beach volleyball team." Jenny said while driving: "I don't think it's troublesome to practice skills, but it's more troublesome to have no face and no figure." That would lead to a drop in attendance and even a league shutdown. ”

"Makes sense."

Now that the university has been out for the summer, Jenny can only call one by one and visit the door, fortunately, some of the people on the list are local students, and some have not left the school, as for those who have flown home, they can only explain on the phone.

According to Jenny's idea, rent a stadium first - this is very easy to do as long as you have money, Zhang Cheng got the authorization and returned to Reno to contact the real estate agent as soon as possible, and rented a comprehensive indoor gymnasium, of course, the venue is enough for indoor football training.

Then gather twenty or thirty and coaches who know some indoor football to start training, which is also considered a trial, to tap out the talented ones to become the main force and substitute of the team, these people are to officially sign up to become professional players before the league starts.

But the rest of Jenny doesn't plan to let go, the rest of the people can be cheerleaders, and the audience always has to watch something during the halftime of the game to get back the ticket price. However, as a cheerleader, it is obvious that the salary is far less high than that of professional players, and professional players are famous for being able to endorse various products and advertise them, which is much higher than the salary of players.

Of course, those who can do this must also be the best people in the different leagues, and most professional players still live on salaries, which is often referred to as blue-collar players. However, blue-collar players are the foundation of a league, and a league cannot develop without big-name star players, but if a league only has a few big-name star players, the game itself will not be able to play because of the lack of numbers.

Jenny's recruitment job was so successful that most American college students didn't expect to get a job with an annual salary of $86,000 immediately after graduation. If such a job opportunity is in front of you, the temptation is still full, not to mention that Jenny also quotes the classic sentence with the terms of the authorization, ensuring that the dividend salary after the end of the league will not be less than the base salary. (Of course, this is based on Jenny's calculation based on an average of 3,000 tickets sold per game before the game even started.)

Things that haven't been filmed, such as ticket revenue, broadcast rights, etc., are said by Jenny to be out of the blue. And the girls opposite her also felt that there would be nothing to lose by trying out during the summer vacation, that is, they were not selected as the main players, and they could still get a cheerleader position. Cheerleaders don't pay much, but it's a part-time job, and you don't even have to drop out of college.

As for the sky show, that's not to mention a thing, Jenny herself is not looking for those traditional girls - American society is seriously polarized, and the open is particularly open and conservative. The girls she contacted were the kind of people who changed boyfriends like changing clothes, and they longed to be a playboy and then become famous in Hollywood.

Most of the players (except for those who are still on the road) have been solved, and Jenny has poached a few more coaches, a physical coach, a physical coach, a tactical coach for beach soccer, a goalkeeper coach, and an assistant coach for a total of five people.

Jenny's speed is fast, but the others are not slow, and the eighteen teams that California and Nevada built together in the early days already have owners and coaches.

Then all the coaches in the league have to take a little time to have an online meeting to discuss the rules of the league, everyone is not very familiar with indoor football, but there is already a successful indoor sports experience in front of you, just use it directly - Jenny herself also quoted the famous saying of the Chinese at the coaching network meeting, call it a black cat and a white cat flower cat, and catch a mouse is a good meow.

So the rules of the thong indoor soccer game are as follows:

First, there are five people on the field to participate in the game, including one goalkeeper. One meter of the goal is the range of the penalty area, and the goalkeeper leaving the penalty area must not touch the ball with his hands, otherwise he will be penalized once.

Second, you can't tackle, tackling is a foul, penalty kick.

Thirdly, there is no offside.

Fourth, the attacking team did not have a shot on goal and surrendered possession within a minute.

Fifth, each game is 48 minutes, divided into two halves, four quarters. There is a 10-minute break at halftime and a three-minute break between each quarter.

Sixth, there are five players on the field, and there is no limit to the number of substitutions. Substitutions are available as long as the match is suspended.

Seventh, a player who has committed five fouls in a game is sent off with a red card.

Eighth, the attacking side must hand over the ball to the defending team's half court within 30 seconds, and if the ball is passed back to their own half during the attack, they must still hand over the ball. If you kick the ball off the sideline or baseline, you must also hand over possession.

Ninth, malicious fouls, such as fights, etc., the first yellow card warning plus a free throw, and the second red card plus a free throw. (Actually, there is still this debate, with some coaches arguing that fighting can also be a good way to attract attention, while others argue that it is wrong to change indoor soccer to a wrestling ring.) )

In ten days, the prototype of the team was established from scratch. What is missing now is a name, and the more pitiful thing is that this name cannot be commercially named - because it may conflict with the commercial naming of the league in the future.

Glancing at the towering snow-white chests of the players who were training and sweating and swaying their youth on the court, Zhang Cheng casually filled in the Reno Snow Mountain Goblin Team in the team name column.

The name was quite decent, and later Zhang Cheng saw some weird names, for example, Las Vegas sucks. Essence. Banshees, North Las Vegas Big Mimi Queens...... In short, we can't understand the local tyrants in Las Vegas.
