015 First touchdown
In John's line of sight, he could see two corner-backs – the corner-guards who guarded all corners of the pitch, i.e. players who specialized in defending receivers, scattered on one side of their pitch and then defended according to the tactical arrangement. This time, however, they were defending on the run, so the two corner-backs were near the halfway line and moved to the left with the attacking team, leaving most of the pitch out of the way.
As a result, the entire stadium in front of it was empty, and the whole stadium was flat.
John clung to the rugby ball and ran, running fast, running as hard as he could, running with all his heart and concentration without any hindrance. After getting the ball from the 40-yard line, he ran selflessly, closer, closer, and he ran unfettered to the end zone.
There is no obstacle, no hindrance, no fetters. John ran wildly with his ears filled with the whirring wind, and he rushed through the end zone with a bang, completing the touchdown. It was so easy, it didn't even take any extra effort, the only thing he had to do was: run, catch, run, so easy, so simple, so perfect.
Fatal with one hit!
After going into the end zone and completing the touchdown, John smashed the football to the ground, and he did! He did it! The surging emotions in his chest were heartily vented, and his first reaction was to look at the other end of the court, looking for Lu Ke's figure, but it was not an easy task.
Because the members of the offensive team of the sparring team rushed over in a swarm, blocking their vision, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and excitement, and their mouths shouted, "You did it!" You did it! The voice that had become hoarse with too much excitement filled the ears.
And because the members of the opponent's defensive team, standing in place with a blank face, scattered in different parts of the field, they don't even understand what happened, how did they complete the long pass, how did they complete the touchdown?
The people standing on the sidelines were also stunned. The players in the first and second echelons couldn't believe that it was the sparring team that scored first, and it was a long pass that sealed the throat with a sword - the touchdown had been completed in less than 30 seconds before the offensive group came on the court, which was really incredible, too unbelievable, too fantastical, so that everyone looked at each other.
Even the three members of the coaching staff were the same. Rick Newhesse looked at the center of the field with great interest, and he was surprised not by a touchdown, but by the trajectory of the entire pass, from the layout to the shot, from the trajectory of the rugby ball in the air to John's safe catch, the power, accuracy and control of the whole pass was truly eye-catching.
It's just, I don't know if this is a flash in the pan, or is it an inherent level?
Rick looked back at his two coaching partners, "Did you notice the offensive team's tactical set-up?" Is this intentional? Did the quarterback set up the court before kick-off? "Since I didn't have any expectations, I didn't look too closely, so I naturally ignored these details.
Offensive coach Norm-Chow and defensive coach Chuck-Bullough, who were standing nearby, both smiled wryly and were unable to give an affirmative answer.
Noam said, "Everything happened so fast. ”
Indeed, it was only thirty seconds before and after the touchdown was completed. It's really fast, even if it's a training match.
Rick tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It seems that the little guys in the sparring have really brought a lot of surprises." ”
However, it must be realized that in the first attack just now, the defensive group of the third echelon did not pay enough attention, which led to a mistake in the defense and left Lu Ke with enough passing time. Then, after everyone is cheering up, things are much more interesting. Rick is looking forward to how the offensive team led by Lu Ke will respond and perform.
The defender who took a step slower to grab Lu Ke stood up and stood beside him stupidly. Lu Ke stood up, clenched his fists, and waved a few times, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, and roared domineeringly, "Good job!" "It worked, his tactics worked, and the recent effort paid off with this touchdown!
This is his first step in the arena after acquiring the system, and although it is only a training arena, it is already a great improvement compared to the sparring partner.
Before Lu Ke could celebrate further, he saw John rushing over like a derailed train, followed by a large string of tails, whistling, and then they surrounded Lu Ke in the center, cheering loudly, "Lu Ke!" Lu Ke! Lu Ke! "It was like winning the Super Bowl, and I was ecstatic!
The smile bloomed greatly at the corner of Lu Ke's mouth.
With a muffled "bang", Kevin, who was standing on the sidelines, kicked the chair hard, but it was himself who hurt. Kevin gritted his teeth and pretended not to care, the palm of his hand holding the helmet turned white, and he grinded his teeth fiercely. Damn clowns!
"Cheer up! It's just a touchdown! We'll just come back with a touchdown! Kevin shouted at his teammates, and then he was about to play, but he was grabbed by the arm, Kevin turned his head and glared at his teammates fiercely, "What's wrong?" ”
The teammate shook his head, "The bonus points haven't been kicked yet." "After the extra points are mentioned, the special service team needs to kick off before it is their turn to play.
This is not the same as kicking off directly in the center circle after a goal has been scored in football. After a touchdown, the team that has just completed the touchdown will restart the ball on their side, and then the opponent will be responsible for receiving the ball, and after receiving the ball, they can also make a return attack, which is the same as the punt rule. Where the receiver is knocked down and his knee touches the ground, then where the next side will start attacking.
The special service team of the sparring team came on the court, first played an additional point, scored a goal, and temporarily led the third echelon with a score of "7:0"; Then the special service team completed the kick-off, and the rugby ball was kicked straight out of the line, and the receivers of the third echelon had no chance, and they would start attacking from twenty yards on their side.
Kevin, playing again.
returned to the field, but Lu Ke was not idle. The joy of the first touchdown soon settled, and the practice match had just begun, and a touchdown would have allowed them to secure the victory? It's an unrealistic idea, they need to attack, attack, attack again!
Lu Ke summoned all the teammates in the offensive group, "The same situation, there will be no second time." ”
The first attack just now was the result of the right time, the right place and the right people, and if any link went wrong, they could not replicate the same result, because the risk of the long pass was too great, especially if their cooperation was not tacit enough. So, they need more tactics now.
"But, we still have the initiative!" Lu Ke cheered for his teammates, "As you can see, their cooperation is actually not very tacit, at least a little worse than us." "The third echelon is not the first echelon after all.
After experiencing the incredible long formation just now, the members of the offensive group of the sparring team were full of emotions and fighting spirit, and they were full of confidence. Lu Ke's words made them all chuckle.
"Now it's the real thing, there's no room for opportunism." Lu Ke glanced at his teammates, "Next, we need more cover......
The quarterback is called the brains of the team because he has to memorize all the playbooks and even need to be familiar with the tactical routines of the defense. The quarterback was the only player on the entire football team to ask for this. Especially on the court, between the lights and the fire, the coach can't change the tactics, but the quarterback decides.
The biggest advantage of the sparring team is that they are extremely familiar with each opponent, because they need to study the main players and substitutes, and then provide tactical sparring partners. However, the regular team members do not need and cannot study the tactics of the sparring players. So, the sparring team is well aware of the habits and weaknesses of those players who stand directly opposite the attacking line.
Lu Ke began to distribute tactics. For quarterbacks, having enough time to observe and pass the ball is the first element, in other words, the offensive front line must block the impact of the opposing defender, otherwise the opponent will break through the offensive front line, and the whole offense will be fragmented.
No matter how top a quarterback is, after all, he is just one person, and his two fists are difficult to beat with four hands, and it is impossible to win alone.
If they are facing the absolute main force of the first echelon, then the sparring team has no chance, and the overall gap in tactics and ability, even if they grit their teeth and do their best, they still can't make up for it; But they are now facing the third echelon, the substitute of the substitute, and their usual tactical rehearsal and cooperation practice are not much, which means that as long as Lu Ke observes carefully enough, he can find loopholes.
"it!" There was a curse on the field, interrupting the tactical discussion of Lu Ke and others, turning around to look at the field, and then saw that the third echelon attacked to the middle line, but was not able to continue to advance, obviously, it was another situation where he needed to abandon the kick, Kevin's face was red, and his muscles suddenly roared at his teammates, and he jumped like thunder.
Lu Ke took a deep breath, "Guys, it's our turn to play again." ”
However, this time the sparring team was not able to show its might, after the opposing defenders improved their concentration, the offensive line of the sparring team was difficult to organize and effectively block, the first pass was interrupted, and Lu Ke was directly captured to the ground - the so-called tackle refers to the fact that when the quarterback still has a football in his hand, the opposing defender forces the quarterback's knee to touch the ground or fall to the ground, then, first of all, this attack means failure, and the next attack will start from the position where the quarterback's knee touches the ground.
Then, the second gear offense, opted to run the ball, and only advanced two yards; In the third gear of attack, Lu Ke chose the middle pass, but unfortunately he was not able to succeed, and in desperation, they could only choose to abandon the kick.
The practice match then went into chaotic mode, with both attacking groups unable to form an effective push and the match went into a stalemate.
