Chapter 105: The Old and the New (4)
After the replacement of two first-year freshmen, the whole new team was reinvigorated.
This came as a surprise to Johnson.
His original intention, as long as these two can play a slight role in the lead, let Pfister and Favors have more room to play. Unexpectedly, they became the highlight.
Although the new team currently has only one wide receiver on the field, Barkley and Favors both have pretty good receiving ability, and Matthews can also act as a short-range receiver to some extent. This was a big headache for the defensive set-up of the fourth grade group.
With only ten minutes left in the game, it was the turn of the fourth grade team to attack.
Leonard didn't give the opposition a chance this time, and Daniel's two long passes ended in failure, and the second was almost intercepted by Dean. After the third gear attack, he only advanced to near the half court and was defended.
Ennis was anxious to see from the sidelines, even if the new team's defensive strength was much worse than before after most of the defensive players were replaced, but no matter what, as long as Leonard and Tiger were on the court, their offense would be difficult to achieve.
The only chance and the way at the moment is to defend against this wave of attacks and then score, otherwise there will be no time.
"Michael! Please be sure to keep Brett off this time, McCarvey is not in the groove yet, so start with him. Ennis looked anxious.
He himself is keeping an eye on Matthews and Barkley's moves, and now that the two first-year students are the new points of attack, he believes that Brett's offense will definitely pick them.
“ATTACK!”
At the start of the attack, as Ennis expected, after Michael intensified his impact on Brett, Brett panicked and dropped the ball to Matthews in the upper right.
Ennis immediately stepped forward. Prepare to tackle Matthews inside the tee line.
Unexpectedly, while Matthews was rushing to the left, his body suddenly swung to the right, which caught Ennis a little off guard.
Although in terms of speed, Matthews is not particularly fast among running backs, but his change of direction is perfect.
With a slight shake, Ennis staggered.
Matthews took the opportunity and rushed out of his side to get a five-yard push.
"Hehe, I can't see that this rookie is so patient and has excellent dodging skills, but it's a bit of Bell's style." The male editor joked.
Bell is currently one of the top running guards in the league, with an extremely good ability to get off the defense and run the line, and is one of the offensive cores of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Matthews is not the type to rely on his body to eat his opponents, so he needs to play smarter.
This brilliant dodge was not only highly appreciated by the male editor, but also the audience on the sidelines also heard wonderful cheers and applause. Even Johnson nodded in satisfaction.
However, center McCarvey did not adjust in time, and in the next second-gear five-yard attack, he was pushed aside by Michael, who made it shoot directly out of Brett's pass.
"It seems that no one in the front line can stop Michael, his strength is too strong." Diana sighed. It's a pity that such an excellent striker graduated and left the team.
"Is there anyone on the team who can withstand Michael's impact head-on?" Johnson asked the offensive lineman's bench.
However, several people looked at each other, and none of them answered in time.
Only one person raised his hand without hesitation for the first time.
That is Wang Yang.
He weighed seventy pounds less than Michael. Not a heavyweight at all.
Let him defend Michael, it's just a mantis arm as a car, it's impossible.
The other linemen also smiled after seeing it, thinking that this guy couldn't help but want to play and go crazy.
But Johnson doesn't think so.
"Okay, there will be a substitution later, you come on the court, defend Michael." Johnson ordered.
The second-gear offense didn't work, and the third-gear offense Brett made a quick shot and passed the ball to Barkley.
Although Barkley received the ball in the air, Ennis was prepared, so the ball was only three yards forward.
Four gears and two yards, should have chosen to punt kicking.
But now it's in the opposition half. It was only two yards away from a new first attack.
Brett still wants to give it a shot.
At this moment, Wang Yang replaced McCarvey on the field as the team's center forward.
The coaching staff's decision made him feel a little chilly.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Wang Yang to withstand his opponent.
Maybe even Thomas can't stand it, let alone Michael.
However, the distance of two yards, as long as the front line opens the way well, let Matthews pass with a slight rub.
“ATTACK!”
At the start of the attack, Brett received the ball and immediately handed it to Matthews, allowing him to pass it straight down the middle.
At this point, five offensive and four defensive linemen collided directly into each other, using their bodies to fight for the road in front of them.
As long as he can push a few tens of centimeters from the defenders, Matthews can drill through and get new offensive opportunities.
If the offensive line is not strong enough, they will be pushed back by the defenders and block the way of the attack themselves.
At this time, the focus of the audience was focused on Michael and the new Wang Yang.
Wang Yang is seventy pounds lighter than Michael, and he is Chinese and a first-grader.
These conditions, even if one of them are met, will not be Michael's opponent in the eyes of outsiders, not to mention, he meets all three conditions.
It is a fool's dream for such a person to want to confront Michael.
But Yi Fan believes that his best friend can do it.
Because in his body, there is an extremely huge power.
Although he looks average, his arm strength, thrust, and waist strength are all beyond ordinary people.
So when he and Michael collided head-on, the two of them didn't move as if they were frozen.
This is a head-to-head confrontation between two brute forces, and the victory or defeat is all about strength.
Wang Yang's whole body was bruised, and in front of him was a bulldozer-like thrust.
He knew that this power was far above him.
Even if he has used all his strength, he can't completely block the other party.
But blocking it completely is not the same thing as holding it for a short time.
For Matthews, giving him half a second was enough.
When Wang Yang was pushed back by Michael, completely blocking the road,
Matthews' dexterous figure had already slipped through the crowd.
Two steps across the opening line to get four new chances.
Although Wang Yang was at a disadvantage in the confrontation, judging from the result, he won.
"Yes! Good job! I knew you could! ”
Seeing his best friend complete the task for the first time, Yi Fan raised his fist excitedly.
"Cut! Damn it! ”
But Ennis spat on it, such a good opportunity was not seized, and it was even more difficult to prevent the other party next.
“ATTACK!”
The new team continues its offense.
The new Wang Yang burned every muscle of his own, dragging Michael's pace and making it impossible to interfere with Brett.
It's only a second or two, but it's enough for Brett.
"Don't be too arrogant!"
A moment before Brett could strike, a figure lunged at him from the right.
A frenzied Ennis seized on the gap in the front line and knocked Brett straight over like a wild dog.
"Ahh ……”
