Chapter 49: The Nitany Lions (3)

"Whew, whew, whew......" Daniel gasped. He obviously caught the defender's hole, and the pass shouldn't have been broken, but in the end, Jackson was able to appear at that point and successfully achieve a pinch to destroy the connection.

"Damn it!" Daniel was a little annoyed, the offense has now reached three and ten yards, which is not a small size, and if you want to win ten yards of advancement, you have to rely on mid-to-long-distance passes.

That being said, his two best passes were not successful and when he was in great form. Daniel has little major tournament experience and a weak personality, and he will choose to attack on the ground in three gears. We have strengthened our defence in the middle, with the main focus on the close end and running back. Corner backers and security guards can strengthen their marking at the back. Jackson laid out.

“READY! ATTACK!”

Daniel took the tee-off, the near end Williams suddenly accelerated, quickly rushed to the right sideline, with the help of Westin's blocking, successfully received Daniel's pass, but the moment he got the ball, the defender who followed him pounced like a hungry wolf, pressing heavily on his back, under the huge impact, Williams couldn't control his body, and the two ran out of the sideline together.

Although the Wolverines pushed five yards through Williams' short pass from the outside, the third-gear transition still couldn't be made, and in desperation, the special service team had to kick the ball back into the opposing half.

Unexpectedly, the ball was a bit short, and the Lions immediately responded to the ball after receiving the ball, and their running back Boozer worked as a return attacker, and one turned his back to complete the escape. Push the offense through the Wolverines halfcourt.

"The opponent's defense is really not covered. Jackson, in particular, is really hard to deal with. After the offensive team went off the court, Daniel couldn't help but complain to Johnson. Seeing that it is very difficult to break through the opponent's defense, we can only hope that the defensive group will not lose too many points.

"No problem, leave it to us!" Leonard patted his chest and said.

The Lions' offensive team was back on the field, and this time they took a ground attack as soon as they came up, with running back Boozer taking cover from his teammates to make a way out of the right side and get a nine-yard drive. This combination of passing and running is very uncomfortable.

With only one yard left to get his first shot, Leonard had to focus on running back Boozer.

As a result, after the kick-off, quarterback Baines made a fake handover, then ran behind Boozer on his own, rushed to the middle, and although he was pressed down by Leonard after a few steps, he got the first attack very smoothly.

"I haven't seen him for a year, this guy is getting smarter and more comprehensive." Leonard thought to himself. He has the impression that Baines is a quarterback who doesn't like to run much, but he has clearly overcome his weaknesses for the sake of the team's victory.

Ten yards in gear, forty yards left from the touchdown zone.

"The line-forward stepped up his attacks on the pockets and interfered with Baines' passes with all his might. The linebacks stepped up their marking of the middle. They may take the ball offensively. Leonard laid out that he had a hunch that Baines was definitely going to play.

“ATTACK!”

When Baines received the ball, he quickly stepped back, opened up to his pocket, and bought himself a second before two running backs rushed past him. After making a fake handover, one of them blocked the left end of the pocket Peak Tiger, and Boozer sprinted to get Leonard's attention.

Baynes seized the opportunity and passed the ball directly to the touchdown area, and wide receiver Hardy clinged to the right touchline and received the ball with one hand against cornerback Dean, although the ball could not be held steady after getting it, and even fell to the ground with the ball, but the referee's yellow flag was also thrown into the field.

"No. 21, Christin. Dean, pull someone foul! 5 yards back! The referee announced.

Dean didn't expect the opponent's sudden acceleration in one-on-one, seeing that he couldn't catch up, and if he didn't foul, he would be directly caught for a touchdown. I had to pull the other person's clothes and destroy the balance of the body.

In the new first attack, Baynes hit the Wolverines defense step by step with a short pass.

The Lions, whether it is wide receiver Hardy or running back Boozer, have considerable strength, and even one-on-one confrontations will not necessarily have the upper hand.

Before pushing the offense to the end zone, the Lions had a good opportunity to score from three yards in second gear. They replaced their muscular receivers and slammed directly into the Wolverines defense.

In terms of overall physical confrontation, the Lions still have a certain advantage, and Baines clearly grasps this.

I saw that in front of the end zone, almost all the offensive members got together, and Baines almost clinged to the center to get the kickoff. He then turned around and handed the ball to running back Boozer behind him.

By this time, the lineman had already cleared the way for him, and after receiving the ball, Boozer accelerated through the gap, stumbling into the touchdown zone in a back-to-back position. Scored the first touchdown for the Lions. With this very fluid attack, the Lions took the lead to change the score to 6-0. The kicker then slammed the ball into the back of the net to earn a one-point extra point.

7-0!

At this time, the first quarter of the game had only passed for more than three minutes.

Leonard walked off the field looking a little dejected, he didn't expect the opponent to score so quickly. He originally thought that according to the preparation and plan made in advance, he could at least delay the first quarter of Baines's game, but now it seems that he underestimated his opponent too much.

"Baynes' ability to control the field has increased again, and the opponent's wide receiver Hardy and running back Boozer are much stronger than expected. If it goes on like this, it is basically impossible not to lose points. Although he was very unwilling, Leonard explained the situation.

Marbury patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, let's be steady." ”

It is the Wolverine's turn to play, and for the current team, the special service group is undoubtedly the weakest existence. They haven't been able to find good punters and kickers, so a lot of the extra points haven't been scored.

For the thankless kicker position, it is not very popular. The same is true for the abandoners, there are no particularly talented people on the team, and no one is willing to spend a lot of energy on it, so the Wolverine's special service team has never done well.

But this time, the Wolverine's return attack was unexpected. It was running back and back attacker Marbury who got the ball, and although he accelerated to the middle, he changed direction to avoid the tackle and shook the defender, while accelerating further towards the right sideline until he was squeezed out of the sideline by the opposing defender.

By this time, he had sprinted to the 40-yard line of the opposing half.
