Chapter 182: Snell (2)

γ€ŽChapter error, click here to report』

Snell is such an old person, so he naturally understands the meaning of this kid's words. But he was already irritable, and he was really annoyed by Yi Fan's provocation.

"Good fellow, it's not a small tone."

Whether it is Yi Fan or Rogers, in his opinion, they are ordinary people with no characteristics. It simply didn't meet his training requirements.

He couldn't figure out how a team like the Wolverines could put the burden of attack on these two seemingly ordinary, fledgling guys. With the team's history and fame, it is not difficult to recruit good seedlings.

So even if he came up with a training plan, Snell believed they wouldn't be able to do it.

"Okay, since you want to try it so much, I'll let you try it."

Snell led him to the backyards of the villas, which were sparsely populated, and each villa had a spacious backyard, and some even had a swimming pool.

Yi Fan saw that in the backyard, there was a column of low bushes neatly planted, and there was also a clearing. Next to the fence is a rope basket for catching the ball, and there is a nine-square grid for practicing on the wall.

But this kind of nine-square grid is not football, but baseball.

Baseball pitchers need this prop when they practice throwing the ball into the good ball belt.

"Look at it!"

Snell picked up a baseball in his hand, stood about ten meters away, and gently passed the ball out in the posture of passing a rugby ball.

I saw that the round baseball drew an arc in the air and smashed into the center of the nine-square grid.

Baseball, in terms of shape, size, and weight, is a far cry from football. In order to throw the ball into the designated position so easily, you must have enough ball control.

"You give it a try. With the posture of passing, within three balls, if you can smash the ball into the nine-square grid, I will promise to go back and teach you. ”

"Five balls? It's too simple, isn't it? ”

This nine-square grid is 60 x 60 centimeters, and if you say that like Snell, you can hit the middle grid steadily, it should be very difficult, and it is estimated that you can't shoot eight out of ten balls.

But Snell was talking about smashing into this area, and in comparison, the difficulty dropped by several factors, and it didn't seem at all challenging, and anyone could do it.

Rodgers still has bandages on his hands, and although he has a look of wanting to try, Snell, as a quarterback coach, will never let an injured player try.

Just like a pianist, the hand is the life of a quarterback.

"I'll try, but you have to do it, don't regret it."

Yi Fan picked up a baseball and weighed it in his hand. Although this challenge did not seem to be difficult, when he actually got it, Yifan realized that it may not be as simple as he thought.

"Let's give it a try."

He stared at the nine-square grid hanging from the fence, adjusted his strength, imagined the baseball in his hand as a football ball, and gently threw the ball out as he usually practiced.

Because of the change in weight, Yifan felt very awkward. The usual passing is basically pushed, and the power is in the palm.

But in the face of a small baseball with only a few tens of grams, the size is only the same as an orange, and the force point is not the same at all. I continued to use the previous position, but not only could I not adjust the strength, but I also did not grasp the angle and timing of leaving the hand.

Therefore, the baseball flew in a trajectory significantly higher than that of the nine-square grid for a period of time and then crashed into the top of the nine-square grid.

"How did you deviate so much? Can you do it? ”

Rogers saw the distorted posture of Yi Fan's shot on the side, and knew that he would definitely not be able to hit it. Although he seemed disgruntled and dismissive, he knew that the challenge would not be easy.

There are only two chances left at the moment, and if you want to throw the ball into the nine-square grid within two balls, I am afraid that it will not work according to the normal method.

"Get out of the way! I'll give it a try! ”

Rogers nudged Yifan with his left hand. He picked up a baseball with his left hand and was ready to pass.

"Isn't it, left-handed?"

Yi Fan couldn't finish with his accustomed right hand, and Rogers actually wanted to challenge with his left hand, which was too difficult.

But Rogers gave Yi Fan a look and told him to shut up.

"Good! You can do it, you can come! ”

Seeing this, Yi Fan made a look of indifference. He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Rogers' gourd.

Because he used his left hand, I saw Rogers twist his posture. After a brief adjustment, he threw the baseball out of shape when his body was almost out of shape. However, the results did not change, and even deviated greatly.

"No, it's too hard. It didn't seem to be difficult, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to control. ”

Rogers shook his head and sighed, his face full of helplessness, as if he couldn't do anything with this little baseball.

He turned to Coach Snell, who was smiling evilly, and said with a little pleading, "Coach, please demonstrate again." The last time I came too suddenly, I didn't see it clearly. Is there any trick to this goal? ”

In the face of Rogers' request, Snell couldn't say anything. After all, he was right. The first goal was nothing more than a demonstration of technique and rules, and it was indeed a bit of a surprise.

And you won't just ask, you don't understand, you just say, that's the basic quality of a good quarterback. Just blindly studying on your own and working hard is not only inefficient, but also easy to make mistakes.

If you can do everything on your own, you need so many coaches to guide you in what to do.

"Since you've spoken, I'll say it briefly."

He then picked up the baseball and described the details and highlights of the pass as he made the moves.

Yi Fan understands Rodgers' hard work this time, he knows Yi Fan's ability to learn, so as long as Snell demonstrates it again, he will definitely be able to learn.

Although he is usually very arrogant and cold, but for his own future and technology. The critical moment is also to take it up and put it down.

So as soon as Snell got the ball, Yi Fan's eyes were fixed on every detail of his body, and he began to copy the opponent's movements like a photocopier.

Even without Snell's explanation, Yi Fan can learn a lot, and with him explaining the key points, he will be able to fully master this kung fu.

"Then I'll try again!"

Yi Fan recalled the whole process again in his mind, then exhaled lightly and began to reach for the ball.

"What's going on? This pose! ”

Snell began to perceive the problem. I watched the demonstration and listened to the explanation, but Yifan's movements were completely different compared to just now.

Whether it's the fingers that hold the ball. The palms, feet, shoulders, and even eyes of the ball are all the same as themselves.

One detail in particular is the angle at which the front and back of the feet are separated. Because he is a little shorter than Yi Fan, under normal circumstances, Yi Fan will walk a step longer than himself, and his steps should be larger than when he demonstrates.

As a quarterback coach, Snell naturally pays attention to elbows and footsteps, which are usually not paid attention to. And on this part, he didn't point it out in the explanation just now, so he didn't expect to be noticed.

Moreover, the feeling and temperament exuded by Yi Fan's whole person are almost exactly the same as Snell just now. This made the old man on the side also dumbfounded.

After the baseball is out of his hand, it draws a straight trajectory in the air and hits the center of the nine-square grid.

Whether it is the angle, the power, or the speed, it is the same as Snell's goal.

β€œYES!”

Yi Fan waved his arm excitedly, and it was not until the moment the baseball hit the target that he was freed from his state of high mental concentration.

"Coach, I'm hit, according to the agreement, please continue to go back to school to guide us."

Just as Yifan finished the challenge, at the University of Michigan, hundreds of kilometers away, two people appeared in the team's guidance room.

These two people are the male editors in caps who will appear on the sidelines of the game, as well as the female reporters. The two men were dressed more formally than usual, with notebooks and cameras in their hands, apparently something was going on.

Sitting across from them was Diana, along with another teaching assistant.

"I didn't expect this Liu to be here, it's really not the right time."

The male editor smiled helplessly, obviously there was only one day left before the Wild Card Finals, but he didn't expect that someone would skip the practice and run out.

And this person is still the core of the team, as a quarterback, if you don't participate in practice, many tactics can't be practiced.

He thought that finding such a time to come and do a pre-match interview would definitely be foolproof. Unexpectedly, something went wrong.

Although it is not a hassle to come to school, the pre-game interview has its timeliness, just like the news. You have to get it out before the game starts. For some important competitions, some of them were even done ten days and a half months in advance.

"I'm very sorry, two, wait until I ask them about their current situation, and then restore the two of you."

Diana stood up and bowed gracefully in apology. Of course, she knows who these two people are in front of her, and she also knows that one of their articles may affect the quality of the school's enrollment next year or even in the next few years. So no matter what, don't slack off.

If it weren't for the fact that Coach Johnson had to keep his hands on training all the time, he would have been the one who was here at this time.

"You say, he went to Iowa? The Wild Card Finals are just around the corner, so you have to deal with them before the game, not after the game. This Wild Card Final is the ticket to the National Championship. You also know how high the value of this ticket is. Especially for the current Wolverine team, this ticket is more important than anyone else. ”

The male editor was the first to ask. Anyway, it's a pre-game interview, not an exclusive interview, so there is no regulation on who to interview, and there is no regulation on the scope of the interview, as long as it does not involve the tactics and arrangements of the game, other content can be asked at any time as long as they want to ask.

And to be sensitive to every detail of the team, every different change, is a talent that a good journalist and editor needs to have.

In the face of the other party's question, how to answer this question well is what Diana needs to do. Each of his answers may be written into the article, which has a direct impact on the reputation and image of the school.

"Mr. Cook, the new team has been able to achieve where we are today, and to be honest, it was beyond our expectations. Even the Wild Card Tournament itself, we weren't even ready to play at first. I'm sure you've seen in the last few games, but our team's young quarterback is still very immature. They still have a lot to do with further promotion and improvement. ”

"So, they're going to find your quarterback coach Snell?"

Before Diana could finish speaking, the male editor understood the meaning of his words.

He didn't know where Snell was, and he didn't care if he was in Iowa. But he knows that the only way for the Wolverines to improve their quarterbacks right now is through a quarterback coach.

The Wolverines contributed to last season's sluggish record, in large part because of the lack of a core quarterback, or more precisely, a quarterback coach. Snell's departure from the team is no longer a mystery, as anyone who knows a little about the team knows, and the male editor has long been aware of this.

It's just that he can't figure out why the coaching staff won't find another quarterback coach to replace him temporarily during Snell's absence, but give up an entire season for nothing.

Diana didn't expect the other party to guess it at once, and she was secretly surprised in her heart. Still, she calmed herself down, trying not to show surprise on her face.

"You're right, they did go to Snell. It is hoped that his return will bring a new improvement to the team. He had passed in two mornings, and he must have had a result by now. I'm going to ask now, you wait a minute. ”

Diana smiled calmly. The unattractive man in front of him may know much more than he expected. So lying in front of him, obviously there is no benefit.

In order to show her sincerity, she did not shy away from it, dialed the phone in person, and found Yifan who was far away in Iowa.

"What? Are you back? On the plane. That's amazing! We are waiting for you back in the guidance room. Is Snell with you? ”

After the phone was connected, Yi Fan's excited words came from the other end. Diana was a little embarrassed by the loud voice.

However, Diana was very surprised by the outcome of the matter, she didn't expect these two people to be so efficient, and brought Snell's cow back at once. In her original expectation, according to Snell's stubborn temper, let alone half a day, even half a month, neither of these two people may be able to bring him back.

"How? So it's done? It's very fast. Already on your way back? Then we'll wait here, interview the rest of the team first, and wait for them to come back. ”

The male editor didn't want to hear the content of the phone call clearly, but that's what Diana thought, so he didn't feel embarrassed.

From the tone of the chat and Diana's expression, it can be seen that things are developing beyond what was originally expected. The reason for this is that the male editor is very curious.

The Wolverines are not weak, and the wild card game is also a very important game, but in the past, this level of game is not worth a pre-game interview with American Soccer at all, and what interests the male editor is the quarterback from China himself.
