In his previous life, as a sports fan, he had in-depth research and hands-on practice in various sports, and the Japanese cartoon "Soccer Kid" in elementary school was all the rage, and the whole school fell into a frenzied football atmosphere.

As I get older, although I play less and less often, and my patience to watch football is getting thinner and thinner, I still pay attention to sports news headlines from time to time, follow the trend to sweep classic games, and show off the lace of stars.

In junior high school, he grew taller, coupled with the beginning of his love, he was naturally obsessed with more handsome basketball, in order to let his beloved goddess smile lightly at himself, he practiced his skills day and night, and emerged in inter-school competitions many times, but unfortunately the goddess had a heavier taste, and finally followed the captain of the center like an orangutan in the team, which made people sad and slowly gave up the sport.

After high school, he was selected into the volleyball team because of his height, and he practiced for several years, and he also played billiards and table tennis in his spare time, but unfortunately he didn't cultivate it as a hobby, and his college life was boring, so he could only watch the live broadcast of the game and play time. I gradually figured out the principle of the rules, but I also watched it with relish.

As for golf, tennis, baseball, etc., they belong to the handsome and rich sports, and as a poor person, I can't afford to play, so naturally I don't pay much attention to them, all in all, when it comes to sports, I immediately lock on the three big balls in my mind.

Football has too high requirements for the field and turf, and the current leather sewing and filling technology is not up to standard, and it is difficult to meet the standard of game balls, and foul actions such as sliding tackles are too easy for people to break their legs, so they have to give up.

The basketball court is very small, but the game ball is also not up to standard, and the fierce confrontation is also very easy to cause knee and ankle injuries, and it is impossible for medieval Jordan to appear in advance.

Billiards, tennis, poor participation, relatively weak confrontation, and temporarily excluded, only rugby is suitable for those simple-minded and muscular men.

Protective gear can be replaced with leather armor and helmets, which can play a certain protective role, the requirements for the game ball are not very high, as long as there is a flat ground to play, more than 20 people on both sides participate, strong confrontation, can not only cultivate team awareness, but also release the burning hormones of the boys, it is not difficult to achieve, it is simply the best sport tailored for men.

Just do it! Having made up my mind, I hurriedly beckoned Kohler to come over, took out a dagger and drew a sketch on the ground, and explained the rules of the game to them:

"I decided to introduce an ancient ball game from the East, which might solve the thorny problem we faced, which is a team game where 11 players from each side play, and the team with the most points in the allotted time wins."

"You see, the rules are very simple, the court is a rectangular lawn with a length of 12o steps and a width of 5o steps, there is a circle of boundaries outside, and there is a scoring line ten steps from the boundary to the inside, which is the touchdown scoring area, the scoring lines on both sides are 1oo steps apart, and the area between the scoring lines is marked every 1o steps, until the 5o step line divides the midfield, and then each step can be marked on the sideline, both sides of the game must attack on the line, and two goal posts are erected in the middle of the two sidelines five steps apart from each other, It is possible to score by shooting. ”

The bull frowned vigorously, trying to figure out what his adult was trying to say, and finally gave up in vain: "My lord, I'm sorry, I didn't understand ...... much"

After saying that, he still covered his head with palpitations, afraid of being beaten by me, and put on a pitiful appearance.

"Hey! Rotten wood cannot be carved, nor can it be carved......"

I shook my head, got up and told Rollo to put on a leather helmet and a shield by the way, and said to Kohler: "Go and prepare the field, mark it according to my requirements, in fact, the rules are very simple, just play two." ”

Kohler, who vaguely understood the rules, happily ran out to find someone, and the bulls also went back to change their equipment suspiciously, and the hunting team just returned to the city, and more than two dozen players were well chosen, and when the soldiers were ready to put on leather armor, Kohler's field was also arranged.

I glanced at the soldier standing behind me lightly, I almost didn't have a heart attack, I won't say anything if I take the shield, what's the matter with you carrying a tomahawk? And that old man, who actually clenched the bowstring seriously, carried two quiver boxes full of feathered arrows, and wanted to take his opponent as prey?

In a hurry, the soldiers threw away unnecessary weapons, and briefly talked about the scoring rules, Kohler and I each led a team, respectively on both sides of the midfield line, temporarily used as a big radish for the game ball, lying quietly on the ground, I took out a silver coin and threw it into the sky, let Kohler guess the head and back first, the winner has the right to attack, the loser can choose the direction of attack, the bull with a shield looked at Kohler who was about to attack on the opposite side, he was arranged by me to serve as a defensive forward, and his strong figure was suitable for defending agile attackers.

"Tee off!"

As I commanded Kohler, he bent down and threw the turnip between his legs to Jensen behind him, who acted as the quarterback for the attacking team, but he didn't understand the rules and was at a loss for what to do while holding the turnip, and when he was still hesitating, he was immediately held down by the bull who pounced on him.

"Stop! Foul! ”

While angrily pausing the game, I grabbed a few fighters who were holding each other in a group of old fists, and yelled angrily:

"Only the torso of the ball carrier is completely on the ground is considered a correct grab, the attacking defender must desperately protect his ball carrier, block the defender who wants to capture him, and the defender cannot use the malicious foul of the foot and fist to stop the attack, let alone allow the brawl, everything must be in accordance with the rules, you bunch of waste, get out of the way and look at it, substitution!"

This time, in order to demonstrate, I personally led the offense, carefully taught them how to defend, how to attack, how to calculate scores, how to arrange tactics reasonably, and shouted until the end even their voices were dumb, and these elm brains barely understood the rules and learned to play normally within the scope allowed by the rules.

Kohler watched several offensive and defensive rounds, basically mastered the essentials of the game, and were eager to try, especially the Bulls, who took advantage of the exchange of venues and excitedly said to me:

"Don't worry, my lord, I promise that I won't hit anyone again, the shield can only be used for defense, and it will never be used to smash the opponent's head! Please let me play! ”

It just so happened that I was also tired, and I could rest when I sat on the court as a referee, so I nodded and agreed to the Bulls' request, let Kohler replace the players on the court, and the new game was restarted, until the end of the day, the players were still sweating excitedly on the court, and the soldiers who got off the field also gathered more and more on the sidelines, everyone showed great enthusiasm for the sport, and even forgot the fatigue of the day, and cheered for the offensive and defensive sides.

I instructed Rolo, who was already familiar with the rules, to replace myself as the referee, and said proudly to Yaroslav, who had gone off the field with a shoulder injury: "Look, I said I have a way!" ”

The leader of Lyutich stared at the situation on the field with all his attention, and viciously covered his shoulders and gritted his teeth: "Wait until tomorrow I will find a chance to clean up that bastard of the bulls." ”

Nijmegen Rugby became popular faster than I expected, and this kind of game, which emphasizes hard work and teamwork, quickly became popular among soldiers.

Wherever there is a little flat ground near the castle, all of them are opened up by fanatical enthusiasts, and radishes have become in short supply, especially the green radishes with regular shapes, which have become a sought-after luxury, and the soldiers will invite their comrades to gather together to play two games after completing a day's work, and the loser will pool money to invite the winner to go to the tavern run by the Chamber of Commerce to be happy, and then secretly practice tactics to prepare for the next turnaround.

The castle gradually formed four organized teams, and Kohler and the archers he trained were known for their agility and agility, and Kohler himself was hailed as the best quarterback in Nijmegen.

The Bulls and the Infantry Brothers form a team, most of them are physically strong and fierce defensively, and few opponents get a four-gear offensive opportunity in front of them, while the Bulls use their physical advantage to have the upper hand in the offensive rush.

Yaroslav's Lyutich Guard, in a league of their own, was flexible and creative in attack, strong and tight in defence, and was always able to finish the game in the most unexpected way or cause the sudden death of the opponent in overtime, and was a force to be reckoned with.

Jensen and Rollo cooperated, with the attendants around me as the main team members to participate, as my descendants, there are good things to enjoy first, the best court, the latest tactics, the most training time, etc., compared to Kohler, they rely on their own understanding and groping do not know how far ahead, temporarily in the position of the power list.

The soldiers released their excess energy through the rugby game, so that the women of Neustadt finally gained a long-lost sense of security, and the female animals and beautiful boys within a radius of 100 miles breathed a long sigh of relief, and the soldiers shifted their attention from their lower bodies to the blood-pumping game, effectively cultivating the sense of teamwork and friendly communication between comrades-in-arms, indirectly stimulating the business of the tavern, and contributing to the local economic prosperity.

In order to better display this sporting event, I specially instructed the Chamber of Commerce to select a batch of high-quality calf leather, cut it into four pieces and sew it tightly together, and fill it with floc in the middle to increase the elasticity, and officially give it to each team as a match ball.

The venue was also standardized, measured strictly according to the size of my stride, the sidelines and yard lines were marked with white and gray, and four square pillars were erected at the corners of the scoring end area to clarify the scope of the touchdown scoring space.

A crossbar is nailed between the two posts of the goal, which makes it more difficult to shoot free throws and makes the game more watchable.

All in all, through various rule improvements, Nijmegen rugby has become more and more in line with the local situation, attracting more and more fans to participate.
