"Alex! Pay attention to what you say! "After listening to Alex's speech, the coaching staff was not happy. What they value is real wins and losses. And not those imaginary feelings.
Whether it is the so-called enthusiasm or the so-called passion, many times it will only become an obstacle to winning.
"You've been playing for so many years. Don't you know how important this Wild Card Final is for our team? Have you ever seen the stage of the national competition? Whether the opponent has a touchdown or not, what kind of results your old friend or the opponent's quarterback achieves, it has nothing to do with us! What we want is victory! ”
The head coach of the Cardinals was almost in a roaring tone. He didn't want to see a game he'd worked so hard to ruin at the last minute.
"Okay, I got it."
After seeing the attitude of the coaching staff, Alex had to forcibly hold back the heat in his heart and walked to the court with a full of unwillingness.
"It's been the most critical time for the game. The only way to do this is to keep the Cardinals out of a new first attack. The Wolverines had any hope of equalizing or overtaking the score. Although Singer said so, but he is not very optimistic about the Wolverine's defense, the beginning of the game, the opponent's abandonment has not played once, which also means that the opponent has scored points every time he attacks, if he can win the game with such a defense, it can only show that the opponent is really not level.
Alex also had this idea in his heart, and to be honest, he felt that the preparation before the game was superfluous. Several of the more capable players in the defensive group, the so-called gun squid Dean, simply couldn't keep up with Dantward in terms of speed and tempo. The all-round warrior Leonard has become a universal plaster that fills in the gaps, and he can't play at his level at all, and the rookie-level terminal Tiger Tiger Tiger has achieved nothing under Kingsley's confrontation.
With this level of defense, it is simply impossible to stop Alex, who feels hot.
"Take a first attack! End the game! ”
Alex shouted loudly, boosting morale and disrupting the other party's confidence.
“ATTACK!”
Kingsley gave the order, and the Cardinals made their final assault. Alex followed the coaching staff's arrangement and handed the ball to Mariotta for a rush, gaining yardage while consuming time.
However, this operation was too conservative, and Leonard had expected it early on. So the moment Mariotta got the ball, the Wolverines in front of him had already formed a great wall, giving him no space to rush the ball.
Under pressure from the defensive front, Mariotta didn't take advantage of it, and although the first offense took nearly 40 seconds, he only got a yard away.
"I'll just say that the ground offensive is too conservative! Fools would have thought of such a fight! I don't know what the coach thinks, but at this juncture, he is cowardly. ”
Alex had expected this to be the outcome, and his mouth was chattering. He communicated to the preparation area and tried to play a pass attack in the second gear, but the proposal was ultimately rejected by the coaching staff.
If the ground attack is not completed, it can consume at least nearly a minute, but once the passing attack is not completed, there will be thirty or forty seconds or more left.
This time and again, it is obvious which is better and which is inferior. The Cardinals' coaching staff may have opted for a dumb approach, but traditional combat also means insurance, as well as a higher win rate.
In the second gear offense, Kingsley dragged the ball out until the last second of the formation time, and before the offense began, it had already consumed 40 seconds of the Wolverine's time, and in the case that every minute and every second was crucial, such consumption undoubtedly stuck a knife in the opponent's chest.
It was still Mariotta who attacked, and at the end of the game, the responsibility of rushing the ball was in his hands, and at this time his physical strength had been exhausted, and he no longer had the ability to fight.
After getting the kick-off, he tried to squeeze forward from the path opened by the front line, but before he was halfway through, Tiger cut horizontally from the side, which was the gap he deliberately left, and the reason for doing so was only one goal, that is, to take advantage of his surprise and attack his unpreparedness.
The sprint with initial velocity was so strong that Tiger crashed into Mariotta, shifting his weight downward, lifting him up and tumbling to the ground.
At the angle of landing, Tiger did not forget to let the opponent's right hand land first, so that the huge impact force would directly affect the ball under the armpit. Under the impact of this force, Mariotta, who was already exhausted, finally couldn't hold the ball under his armpit, and could only let it jump out of his arms.
Leonard seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he was quick on the side, the whole person rushed towards the ball as if he was desperate, hugged the ball tightly with both hands, and pressed the whole ball with his body, no matter what kind of interference he received, even hammering, he protected the ball to the death, and did not dare to let go at all.
It wasn't until the referee entered the field and pulled the others apart layer by layer that Leonard, who had fallen on the grass, was able to slowly get up, although he was pressed by tons of people once, but he had great pride and joy on his face.
The moment he stood up, he raised the ball in his hand high and showed it to everyone in the audience.
"How! What will be the result? ”
Almost all eyes were on the referees, not only the fans at the scene, but also the 100,000 spectators in front of the TV sets were staring intently at the TV screens, anxiously waiting for the referee's verdict.
With a little over a minute on the clock, plus a timeout on the Wolverine's hand and a position in the opposition half, the touchdown was not just a chance, it was quite a chance.
Although the final result has not yet come out, Leonard has a smile on his face, and he knows that this time the ball will definitely be fine.
"There's no problem with Tiger's grappling, and at this point, there are few people who can withstand that strong impact."
Because he was prepared early in the morning, he was able to react for the first time and get the ball that he lost possession.
And just as he expected, the referee made the final decision after repeated reviews and careful confirmation, the Cardinals dropped the ball, and the Wolverines completely converted the ball!
As soon as this decision came out, the whole stadium immediately boiled, tens of thousands of fans stood up and cheered and applauded, the atmosphere in the stadium changed, and the mountains and fields were full of cheers for the Wolverine.
The characteristic of this kind of neutral fan is that there is no home and away team, and the better and exciting the game, the more exciting they are. At the moment, the Wolverines are likely to have hope of overtaking, and the cheers and encouragement are naturally not stingy to them.
