Chapter 51: The Nittani Lions (5)
The sky was covered with tiny snowflakes, and the temperature was around minus 5 degrees Celsius, and it seemed that it would freeze your body at any moment.
Seeing the offensive momentum of the Nitani Lions, the home fans let out hysterical shouts and cheers for the home team, trying to use their enthusiasm to ignite the fighting spirit of the home team.
At the same time, this Christmas war not only attracted a large number of fans, but also attracted many people in the industry. Neodymium reporters and editors from the well-known magazine "American Soccer" also came to watch the game.
"Editor, what do you think of the situation on the field?" The female reporter asked. The last time she watched the Wolverines play was against the Buckeyes Ohio. It was Daniel's first game back and a good time for the team, as the Wolverines lost a crucial battle and have been out of the vanguard ever since.
Compared with that game, the current Wolverine team has not changed much in terms of players, and in terms of record, there is not necessarily much improvement.
The male editor helped his cap and replied with a frown: "The situation of the Wolverine team is not good, the other party has already hit the front of the end area." This time defending, losing points is a sure thing. It just depends on how many points you lose. The fundamental problem on the offensive end has not been solved, Daniel's condition was originally good, but after being intercepted this time, it is difficult to say whether he can recover his form. ”
"So, you mean, the Wolverines lost?" The female reporter asked regretfully.
The male editor hesitated for a few seconds before nodding.
"Yes, it's a pity, but if you continue to fight like this, the Wolverines will lose. Hopefully, next, the Wolverines can use a wonderful attack to save the team's decline. ”
At this time, on the field, the tense atmosphere is about to erupt.
With Frank's catch, the Lions have put a knife to the Wolverine's neck.
Leonard knows that there is no way back now, and only by fighting hard can he seize the glimmer of opportunity.
Offense in first gear, score from five yards.
There is no way back for the defensive group, whether it is Leonard, or Dean, or Tiger and others.
“READY! ATTACK!”
After teeing off, Tiger did his best to break through the pocket protection from the left side and rush straight to Baines.
Seeing that Tiger was in front of him in an instant, Baines had no choice, he forced a shot and hoisted the ball to Hardy, a wide receiver on the right.
Hardy was cutting in from the right to the middle, and the defender was none other than Leonard.
Seeing the ball come to him, Leonard hugged Hardy tightly with his left and right sides, jamming half of his body, while his right arm was long and straight, hitting the falling orb.
Syllable!
After the ball bounced off Leonard's palm, it changed course, but continued to jump forward without slowing down.
And the person behind Leonard was Dean, he didn't expect the ball to come from this direction suddenly, he tried to hold the ball with both hands, but the ball was like a long leg, just couldn't hold it steadily.
Dean's hand slipped, and the ball slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.
The players of both teams immediately rushed to fight like crazy, but the referee's whistle blew and it was ruled that the ball had failed.
"Ouch! What a pity! The male editor shook his head and said.
"What a shame! What a pity! I almost finished the interception. If you can defend this ball, the situation will be completely different. He said regretfully.
It's just a pity that there is never an if.
Both Leonard and Dean were so angry that they almost fell to their knees and kept hammering the ground.
No one is more depressed than they are.
In the face of such a crucial ball, it was obvious that it had bounced into his hand, and it could be said that it was within reach, but he just couldn't hold it.
Seeing the ball landing, Baines breathed a sigh of relief, the opponent's defense at the last moment was too fierce, so he couldn't stand it, but fortunately it didn't make a big mistake. Although it is said that it was almost copied, it is almost copied and intercepted, which is completely the two results of the same heaven and earth.
After sorting out their moods, the two sides stood back on the grass and prepared to start the second gear attack.
“READY! ATTACK!”
This time, Baines took the safest approach and attacked from the ground.
He turned around and handed the ball to running back Boozer, who took advantage of the midliner's opening and slotted two or three yards forward.
Scored in third gear and was only two yards from the touchdown zone.
The Wolverines defenders are already on the end line.
In the snowflakes, fans folded their hands and tears in their eyes, praying for a miracle.
“READY! ATTACK!”
The moment the offensive horn blew, wide receiver Hardy and close end Ramsey crossed cover, and Hardy took the opportunity to block Leonard, who was marking Ramsey, so the player defending Ramsey was replaced by the gun squid Dean.
But Dean is a lap smaller than Ramsey, whether it is height or physique, he has no advantage at all.
And Baines seized on that and hoisted the ball to Ramsey, who was already on the edge of the end zone.
Ramsey was seen to push his body against Dean, scoop the ball into his arms with one hand with his right hand, and then lie down in the touchdown zone with his whole body.
"Touchdown scored!"
13-0!
After the referee declared the touchdown valid, the Netani Lions' bench cheered. The players hugged each other tightly to celebrate this exciting moment.
And the fans in the stadium, like the Wolverines players, hung their heads and were silent, and they didn't even have the strength to speak.
A simple cross, whether it's Leonard, or Dean, both know who the other side will hit and how they will play, but there is just no way.
The other party is so straightforward, this is how to rely on the body to eat frontally, Dean has no way in front of the opponent's tank crushing.
The Lions then kicked the ball into the back of the net to secure an extra point to make it 14-0.
There were only 4 minutes and 50 seconds left until the end of the first quarter. This means that the Wolverines basically only have one chance left to attack.
"I know it's not going to be a good start, and it's even worse than we expected. But it's only the first quarter, and everything is still possible. We continue to play our way of playing and I am sure that we will win this attack. Diana encouraged.
After the Lions kicked the ball off the line, the Wolverines attacked from 25 yards from their own half.
At the start of the first offensive, Daniel received the ball and turned back to the running back Marbury, who was now a little out of shape and did not dare to pass the ball rashly.
But Jackson was prepared early, and as soon as Marbury received the ball, he was immediately pressed to the ground by the defensive lineman.
"It's okay, pass the ball more and attack them, hit them well!" Westin encouraged. Also as a fourth-grader, his words were a little more acceptable to Daniel.
"Okay, I'll try." Daniel nodded. If you keep dwelling on the last goal you conceded, you won't be able to play the next game. As the No. 1 quarterback, he has responsibilities to shoulder.
