Chapter 66: Christmas (3)
"What's the matter! Don't you know how to read the atmosphere? I'm going to be by you! Yi Fan strangled Wang Yang. I finally had some time alone with Kelly, and every time he came out to wreak havoc.
"What can I do! Robert couldn't get through to your phone, so he came to me. See for yourself the missed call. Wang Yang couldn't help but complain.
"Robert? What is he looking for me for? Yi Fan wondered in his heart. When I went to watch the Lions play two days ago, I just ran into him, and I didn't seem to see any difference except for some vicissitudes.
Yi Fan dialed Robert's phone, and he still admired this original teacher. After a short dial, Robert's weak voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Liu, do you have time tomorrow, can you come over and help? I need your help urgently! Robert said anxiously.
Yi Fan hesitated. Although Johnson has said that he can move freely from Christmas to New Year, tomorrow is Christmas, and he originally planned to make an appointment with Kelly. However, with Robert's usually serious personality, there must be something urgent that can make him so nervous.
"Okay, I'll be over early tomorrow morning." Thinking of this, Yi Fan agreed to come down. As soon as he looked up and saw Wang Yang's face underwhelmed, he pulled him over, "You come too!" ”
Early the next morning, Yi Fan and Wang Yang took the earliest shuttle bus and ran to Detroit early. Just after the heavy snowfall, the sides of the road were dyed snow-white. Although the sun was shining, the temperature was still very low and it was unusually cold. Even though I have been in the United States for more than a year, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
Due to the holiday, there is no ball game in the morning, Detroit's Ford Field is a little deserted compared to the past, usually there are many teenagers playing here, but now except for some fitness old men and business people, there are hardly many young figures.
"What's the matter, is it cold and the young people are running to sleep?" Yi Fan thought to himself. It seems that sleeping lazily during the holidays is universal no matter which country it is placed in.
"I guess it's a holiday, and there don't seem to be any classes on the court." Wang Yang also felt that it was a little rare. Remember that in the past they had to go to the pitch to train, but it was not an easy task.
Especially when they first learned rugby, there were only two courts near Ford Field, and there were many monks and few porridges, so they had to wait in line for a long time to play.
The situation improved when the sports ground was expanded, the parking lot was moved underground, and four more training grounds were built to make room. However, it will not be as empty as it is now.
When they walked to Robert's training camp, they found that there were few people here, and compared with the previous boiling, it seemed deserted, and several training camps were basically like this.
"Hi Robert, what's going on, did you stop training during the holidays?" After seeing Robert, Yi Fan immediately asked.
I saw that Robert's hair was unkempt. looked sluggish, as if he was a few years older than before. He shook his head helplessly and replied, "If it had been during last year's Christmas holiday, business here would have been deserted, even at its busiest. People have just finished watching the Christmas contest and their blood is boiling, and more people will sign up for the training. ”
"Is that so? I couldn't see it at all from the outside just now, and I felt like there was no one. Wang Yang said bluntly.
Robert sighed and said, "You're right, it's just that there's no one." Everybody went to the big stars. Except for a few acquaintances, there are basically no newcomers who are still training here. It's not just me, it's been the same for several training camps in the neighborhood as well. ”
"Big star? What is that? Yi Fan asked curiously.
"Look over there." Robert pointed to a brand new building outside the training ground. Yi Fan didn't have any impression of the building, it seemed that it was built after they left.
From the outside, the building has at least 20 floors, occupies a large area, and has a sense of the times.
"It was the Ford Sports Building, which was opened some time ago, and Big Star was the new rugby training institution in it. Although there are no official rugby fields, there are a number of flag football training grounds. Most of the students who were trained on our side were primary and secondary school students, and they did not participate in real rugby games, but flag football games that are more suitable for teenagers. So when the big stars launched professional flag football training, many people chose to change camps, and there were very few people willing to come here. Robert explained.
Only then did Yifan realize that he had an opponent.
"It's just a normal competitor, but I heard that the owner of the big star is a Japanese named Yamamoto, who doesn't even know rugby, and the teachers hired are just some sports graduates. Although the equipment is advanced, the environment is first-class, and the service attitude is good, the teaching experience and learning effect are certainly not stronger than ours. As he spoke, Robert was a little indignant.
He looked at the group photo of the three of them taken on the wall last year, and said proudly: "You two have entered a prestigious university, but here is the signboard." I believe that the big stars will definitely not be able to achieve this kind of achievement. So, this time I asked you to come here to ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a crackling sound next door. The three of them immediately rushed out, only to see a group of people fighting with the coach of the training camp next door.
To say that it sounds good is to fight, and to say that it is not good is to be abused unilaterally. After all, there was only one curly-haired uncle in the training camp next door, and there were four or five young and vigorous young men opposite him, everyone was tall and big, and at first glance he was from a sports background.
"What's going on!" Robert quickly stepped forward to persuade him. Uncle Curly's name is Brooke, and he is a good-natured coach, and the students like him well. It's hard to imagine that such a person would be provoked into a temper and beat up.
And the few gangsters standing opposite Brooke were dressed in the same blue outfits, with a golden five-pointed star on their chests, and a row in English that read "Big Star".
"It seems to be the people of the big stars, what are they doing here?"
It's not just Yifan who is puzzled, but also Robert. He protected Brooke behind him and said with a little anger: "You big stars, why did you come to the door to find fault?" It's too deceitful, isn't it? Although our training institutions are small, they are not something to be bullied! ”
Seeing Robert's face full of anger, several young people of the big star looked even more disapproving.
I saw a black man slowly walking out of it. He looked only a few years older than Yi Fan, but his body was a little rickety, his steps were a little unnatural, and he seemed to have suffered some serious injury to his right foot.
And the moment Robert saw him, he was stunned and couldn't say a word.
"Yo, Mr. Robert, it's been a long time, you're still as nosy as before!" The black man gritted the word "teacher" extremely hard, almost gritting his teeth, and it seemed that the person who came was not good......
