Chapter 48: The Nittani Lions (2)
The fans at the scene saw that the home team successfully defended the opponent's three-gear switch, and immediately burst into thunderous applause, which was the best response to the home team's wonderful performance. Especially in the face of a short distance such as three gears and two yards, it is not easy to prevent it.
"Everyone's done a great job! It's so exciting! As soon as the defensive team walked off the field, Yifan hurriedly came up with towels and drinks. At the end of December, the temperature was only minus 5 degrees Celsius, and there was a light snow in the sky for a while, so if you didn't put on your coat immediately, it was easy to catch a cold.
In the face of praise and praise from his teammates, Leonard only responded very modestly: "They are also testing, and they haven't finished warming up yet." ”。 The game had just begun, and he knew that Beinsch would not rest on his laurels. He's not naïve enough to say anything about a successful defense alone.
"Mr. Daniel, please come on!" After seeing the ball received by the special service team, Yi Fan said to Daniel, who was about to play.
"Okay, it's up to us." Daniel made a winning gesture.
Under the enthusiastic cheers of the home fans. The Wolverines offensive players played for the first time in the game.
Daniel looked through his helmet and carefully observed each of the opposing defenders, many of whom were old faces from last year, but the opponents didn't recognize him.
Because at this time last year, Daniel didn't have a chance to play at all, and he could only sit silently on the sidelines as the No. 3 quarterback, watching the young quarterback Brady wreak havoc on the opposing defense.
At that moment, he was still unwilling, feeling that he was a third-grader and was at the top stage, why should he give way to a second-grader. I feel that if I play the game, I can also bring victory to the team.
From high school days. Daniel is his team's main quarterback, and he has twice led his high school team to the state quarterfinals. His passing ability has long been unbeatable. This led him to join the University of Michigan soon after graduating from high school.
I thought that after coming to the Wolverine team, I would be able to show my strength, but I didn't expect to hit the nail soon. His body is relatively weak, and the first and second years are basically spent in basic training, although there are a few opportunities to play, but almost all of them are garbage time, which is not very meaningful.
And when his skills are maturing and the intensity of physical confrontation is gradually keeping up with the rhythm of the college league, a genius-level junior appears at this time, which makes his golden period basically spent on the bench.
He even thought at one point that he didn't want to play again for the rest of his college years. Surprisingly, Brady, who is only a sophomore, was drafted by an NFL team, and his departure has greatly weakened the team's strength, but also given the other quarterbacks hope to play.
But at this moment, Daniel was seriously injured. Maybe it's because I want to express myself too much, maybe it's a little slack on my workout, or maybe it's just a simple confrontation. The ligaments in his shoulder were torn in the impact and he had to rest for up to half a year.
You know, he's in the fourth grade. There was not much time left for him.
At the very least, I don't want my college to end bleak like this, at least, I want to play my own style and play my own level in the last regular season!
“ready! attack! ”
As soon as the attack began, Daniel exploded with unprecedented momentum, and after receiving Renault's tee, Daniel used the protection of his pocket to watch while retreating. Even though the Lions' bald Morris, the left tackler, had rushed to his side, he remained calm. A long pass passes the ball to the big wide receiver Pfister on the right touchline.
In the immediate aftermath of the tee-off, Pfister immediately pushed forward quickly according to the offensive plan and tried to pull away the distance and single. The Lions' cornerback Brown is not bad, but in a one-on-one situation, Pfister is 100 percent confident that he can beat him.
But unexpectedly, corner-back Brown didn't follow his up line, instead filling in and instead keeping an eye on the near end Williams. The one who came to mark Pfister was none other than the captain of the opposing defensive team, Lion King Jackson.
Pfister and Jackson pushed forward while rubbing against each other, seeing Daniel's pass flying overhead and about to reach the designated place, Pfister was two steps slower under Jackson's interference.
In desperation, he had no choice but to take a big step forward and make a leap with all his might.
Bang!
It's just that Jackson, of course, won't give him any chance, and while Pfister jumped, Jackson also stuck in position and jumped in front of him. The two almost overlapped each other, and in the fierce confrontation, in the end, neither of them could catch the ball, and they popped off the sideline.
"Did you see through it?" Daniel gritted his teeth. In the game against the Wildcats, he has returned to the level he should be. Therefore, Jackson expected early on that the first ball would definitely adopt the style of play he was most familiar with, and Pfister was the core of the receiver, and it was not an exaggeration to give him the first ball. Daniel's opening scene has appeared a thousand times in Jackson's first battle, and I don't know how many times.
Just as the Wolverines formed a circle and discussed the attack. Jackson also took the opportunity to set up his defense.
"According to Daniel's psychology, the opponent's second-gear offense will definitely choose to pass. The two men stepped up their marking, the cornerback pretended to let go of the wide receiver Westin, and I waited for an opportunity to fill in. ”
“READY! ATTACK!”
Ten yards in second gear, although the first gear attack didn't work, it didn't stop Daniel's determination, and in the last offense, his long-range cannon played normally, and the ball landed exactly the same as the offensive plan, which proved that he had a good hand. So in the second gear attack, he still wants to try again.
After receiving the ball, Daniel found Pfister at first sight, but this time he was tightly sandwiched by corner-backs and safety, and it seemed unlikely that the two would be able to get the ball again. In contrast, Westin on the right sideline has only one corner-back to mark, and is noticeably slower than Westin by a half-beat. With Westin's technology, it is certainly possible to get rid of it.
Shout......
Moments before the bald Maurice burst into the pocket, Daniel finally took aim and slotted the ball towards the right touchline.
But at the moment when he made a move, a figure quickly ran towards Westin from the middle lane, as if he had been prepared, and the two people on the left and one behind him wrapped up Westin.
Westin had the advantage of speed, albeit already holding the ball. But then Jackson and the cornerback hit him loosened his arm holding the ball, and he could only watch the ball fall to the ground.
The two attacks failed to complete the connection, and they were easily recognized by the lion king Jackson.
At this moment, Daniel suddenly felt the pressure. He couldn't imagine how Brady last year had turned such a defensive line into a sieve.
