『Chapter error, click here to report』
This touchdown came too suddenly, the opponent was replaced by a new first-year, and frequently broke through 4D rushing passes, completed long and short distance advancements, repeatedly scored offense, and also took advantage of the situation to win a touchdown.
Nothing could be worse for a pit bulldogs. Morale was a bit low for almost all of the players, including 4D.
The dragon on the field, the bear on the side.
Such scenes are not uncommon this season. The three games they lost were all overturned by their opponents in the second half.
The third quarter began to collapse, and it seemed to have become a law for the whole team.
Or rather, a curse.
Their head coach looked at the dejected look of his players, and he knew it in his heart.
This problem has become an unavoidable heart disease for the whole team. The only solution is to face it head-on.
"Hey, little ghosts, where's that guy who was considered a newborn calf by Team Redtide? Don't forget, you were the ones who almost beat the national winner! ”
The opposing head coach deliberately moved out of the regular season for their game against the Alabama Red Tides.
In that game, the Bulldogs faced the super battleship Alabama head-on as a challenger, which was their most intense game and the toughest game for the Red Tides.
"Is that your level? With such a performance, do you want to beat the Red Tide next season? As a challenger to the king, how can you be thwarted by just a wild card team. ”
The coach of the other party was a little angry as he spoke, but more of a frustration of hating iron but not steel.
Speaking of the Alabama Red Tide team, the tired nerves of the pit bulls seemed to beat. A long silence began to emerge in the preparation area.
As the division boss, the status of the national champions, the Alabama Red Dynasty, is unassailable.
But in the regular season, the seemingly impossible battleship was almost overturned by the Bulldogs.
After the game, the opponent also praised the pit bulls as the "newborn calves", admitting that they were their strongest opponents this season.
"Hopefully we can meet them again at the National Championships and we'll do our best to give them a beating." These are the words left by the Red Tide team in their post-game interview.
In just a few words, the unwillingness in the hearts of all the bulldog players was stimulated, as well as the desire for victory, leaving a small fire in their hearts.
"That's right! We're the ones who played against the national champions. How can you stop here? ”
"We've got to make it to the national tournament and give the Red Tide team a little bit of color! Let them snort! ”
"Almost forgot about those nasty guys in Alabama."
Stimulated by the Red Tide team, the morale of the Bulldogs gradually recovered. A pair of gloomy eyes showed again, looking high-spirited.
They have more opponents to beat than the Wolverine.
"There is still plenty of time for the game, and it's hard to say who will die. Now that the Wolverines have gained momentum, it's up to the Bulldogs to fight back. ”
The male editor focused on the quarterbacks of both teams.
The Bulldogs quarterback scored 24 points in the first half. Lead the team to a big lead. But the impressive results have now turned into pressure, and whether or not we can maintain the form of the first half will be the key to victory. As for this number 6......"
After a failed return attempt, the Bulldogs' offense began at their own fifteen-yard line.
Upon their return, the Bulldogs maintained their previous strong offensive and were clearly unaffected by this score.
They burst on the ground and took two yards away, but Leonard had to adjust his defensive set-up and move the linebacks forward for fear of running from the opposite side.
The Bulldogs seized the opportunity, and in the subsequent attack, they used fake runs and real passes, played a 22-yard mid-range catch, and pushed the attack to their own side 40 yards at once, completely activating the state of the players on the field.
Even though Leonard knew that the opponent could play the ball, he had to put his forces on the ground.
Although the physical strength has decreased, the ground attack of the Bulldogs is no longer as ferocious as it was at the beginning. You can get more or less yards with each rush.
After the first offense took a yard through the ground, the second offense went straight to the opposing quarterback's 40-yard long distance.
Because of the deployment of troops on the front line, the Wolverines defend the second line of the middle door open. It was a straight shot at the fortress.
Fortunately, Dean's ball was very tight, almost inseparable, although he was not superior in stature, but he used the advantage of his feet to jam his position, completely destroying the opponent's catch, so as not to form a fatal blow.
The failure of the unexpected blow left the Bulldogs with a three-stop nine-yard challenge. If you rely on rushing the ball, it is not easy to win this distance.
So the Bulldogs had no choice but to play a pass attack.
Leonard saw through this and withdrew his troops from the front line to strengthen his marking in the midfield area.
After kick-off, the Bulldogs' quarterback, after two years of watching in his pocket, had to barely get the ball to the receiver in the middle.
But under Leonard's marking and interference, the ball flew in the air for a while, then fell directly to the ground and failed to catch the ball.
With three minutes to go until the end of the third quarter, the Bulldogs held a two-ball lead, but the offense was not successful and could not stop the momentum of the Wolverines, so that the morale that had been raised so hard fell back again.
"The opponent will definitely target us with ground attacks and short passes, so we're going to have a different taste." In the preparation zone, Johnson began to lay out offensive tactics.
At this stage of the game, it is not only a game between the players of both sides, but also a duel between the coaching staff.
A brilliant tactical design is likely to directly change the tide of battle.
In this arena, there is no one-size-fits-all style of play.
Twenty-five yards from this side, ten yards from one gear.
The coach's set-up puts a lot of pressure on the attacking forwards, and they must withstand the impact of 4D and create opportunities for Yifan.
Three seconds, at least three seconds.
“ATTACK!”
As soon as McCarvey kicked off, he knew he had a challenge ahead.
Derek descended like a tiger, and he touched McCarvey with all his might.
Delon, Dio, and Truman also lunged towards the sails.
In the previous few confrontations, even if he used deception tactics, he only bought more than two seconds.
3 seconds in front of 4D has not been done in previous races.
McCarvey, Romon and Jimmy are all third-graders after all, and they don't fall too far behind physically.
And Wang Yang confronted Delong head-on, although at the beginning he relied on the momentum of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and scored five or five points, but as soon as the other party was serious, the gap between the two sides was immediately reflected.
For a long time, although Wang Yang is not superior in speed and flexibility, he is confident that he can still be comparable to others in terms of strength.
It was only at this moment that he realized that he was too naïve.
