"Practice passing? You're a good guy. Looking for a professional player as a sparring partner, you have a lot of tone. ”

Conigrates immediately saw through Yi Fan's intentions and couldn't help but laugh.

"But I don't have anything to do, so I'll just practice with you for a few balls. Don't tell anyone. ”

Naturally, the league does not have any regulations on the training and life of players, but as a professional player, he generally does not lower his price to help a student train.

"No way, who made us friends, come on."

Grady warmed up a few times, rolled up his sleeves, and started running.

Yi Fan first recalled Rodgers's short pass in his mind, and then followed his movements, almost the same short pass, and smashed the ball into the hands of Grady from ten yards away, who held the ball with both hands and held it very easily.

"How's that!"

For the power and speed of this ball, Yifan is still very sure.

"The ball was deflected, it wasn't fast enough, and if it was in the league, it would have been intercepted." Grady replied unceremoniously. He flicked the ball back to Yi Fan and ran off again.

This time, Yi Fan practiced mid-range passing. He recalled Brett's passing stance, adjusted slightly, and once again passed the ball towards Grady twenty yards away.

Compared to the previous ball, the mid-range pass is more focused on trajectory and crosshair, so the ball is a little slower.

In the face of Yi Fan's pass, Grady held the ball firmly with only one right hand, he shook his head and said: "This ball route is too simple, if it is in the league, it will definitely be intercepted." ”

Because there was no defensive pressure, Yifan already felt that he had passed well enough, but he didn't expect to receive such an evaluation.

"Mr. Grady, then another long pass!" Yifan still doesn't give up. He thought of the boy in the coffee shop, his body spinning, his waist exerting force, and throwing the ball out with all his might.

But after all, his body has just recovered, and his control of muscles has not been able to do its best. So the arms are not fully extended, and the power is not 100% transmitted to the ball.

At this time, Grady had already run to a distance of about forty yards, and he glanced back at Yi Fan's long pass, and immediately noticed Ni Duan.

He turned around and ran back a few steps, constantly updating the landing point, and finally got the ball before it hit the ground.

"I'm really sorry, this ball didn't pass in place, it must have been intercepted again." Yi Fan didn't have to think about it to know what the other party would say.

Unexpectedly, Grady said: "Although the strength is not enough, the landing point and trajectory of the ball are good." As far as I can feel, this one is the best of your few passes. Is there anyone who taught you? β€œ

"Did I hear me right?"

Yi Fan didn't expect this seemingly erroneous pass to be so highly praised by Gradie.

In retrospect, though, unlike the other two passes, at least this long pass was adapted by the guy at the coffee shop to his body and characteristics.

"Is the boy in the coffee shop you are talking about a senior from your school?"

After listening to Yi Fan's introduction, Grady felt that the young man in this coffee shop was very unusual. After all, being able to see through other people at a glance and point out the characteristics and skills of the other person at least means that this person has mastered these skills.

"I think you should talk to this man more about it, it will definitely help you improve. Most importantly, you need to have the guidance of a professional quarterback coach. Your route selection and passing skills are mediocre and not up to the league's requirements. If you want to achieve more, you want to go further on the road of rugby. You need a professional quarterback coach to help you improve. ”

"Quartile coaches?"

After listening to Grady's advice, Yi Fan began to realize the importance of the problem. Whether it was in Robert's training camp or after coming to school, although he has improved a lot in the offensive system and team cooperation, he has not learned much about his own skills as a quarterback.

Immediately after returning to school, he approached Diana and asked her about Snell.

"You mean Snell, it's so glad you didn't think you'd take the initiative to mention him! Does it seem that you are all aware of your own shortcomings? ”

"Has anyone else mentioned it but me?"

As soon as he finished asking, a name flashed through his mind. There was only one young quarterback left on this team besides him.

"Looks like you already know the answer, you're right, it's Rogers, he just asked me about it."

Brendan Rodgers has gotten a lot better after this period of treatment after his injury. Now I can do a little bit of lower body and chest and abdominal muscle training.

Seeing that the wild card game and the national championship game could not be played, it was difficult to carry out training. So, Rogers began to look for ways to improve himself. In the end, he came to the conclusion that he needed a dedicated quarterback coach.

Snell is now in his hometown of Iowa, not far from Michigan, and it's just a flight away from Dimoi. I'll give you the exact address, it's two days before the Wild Card Finals. I hope you're in time. If you come forward, it may be easier to move him. ”

Diana's words looked a little helpless. It sounds a little strange that a first-tier powerhouse has not had a quarterback coach all season.

Iowa and Michigan are separated by Illinois and are just over an hour away by plane. Needless to say, Rogers, who grew up in the United States, is here for the first time.

As a former agricultural state, Iowa has a temperate climate, fertile soil, and proximity to the Great Lakes, which has abundant water resources. However, after the 70s of the last century, due to the gradual development of industry, here, like other states, gradually put the focus of development on industry, and it is only in recent years that this trend has improved.

"I thought, you've been to every state, aren't Americans pretty idle?"

Before Yi Fan came to the United States, he always heard that they had a lot of money and time, and they always traveled everywhere, but after arriving here, he found that this was not the case.

"Hmph, have you been anywhere in China?"

Rogers looked cold, and he didn't want to pay attention to Yifan, but he was idle on the plane.

"My family is busy making ends meet, so they don't have much time to take care of me and my brother. I also have to train every day, so I don't have time to walk around. ”

Before arriving at university, Rogers traveled as far as Detroit and Chicago, which were basically within the state of Michigan. But for him, it doesn't matter if he's been anywhere or not, and playing against opponents in that place is perhaps more exciting.

"The Iowa State University Whirlwinds, this year's 12-school league division champions, Stanford, and the University of Oregon are no match for them. They are the NCAA Defensive Team of the Year this season. On average, the opponent only scored 9.8 points per game, known as the Great Wall. In the Celebration Bowl matchup, they defeated the Auburn University Tigers to lift the Bowl Cup and enter the national championship. ”

Rodgers is still very familiar with the various championship teams, which makes Yifan have to admire. There are too many college divisions and teams, like stars, he has not accumulated any accumulation in the past ten years, and he can't remember it at all. In contrast, Rodgers, who has been involved in rugby league since childhood, has a much greater advantage.

"So once you get to the national championships, you're going to meet opponents of this level, and it's exciting to think about it."

As his physical strength gradually recovered, Yi Fan could feel the blood in his body constantly boiling, and he was now like a gallop on the field, having a vigorous game.

Seeing that Yi Fan was full of enthusiasm, Rogers did not respond. He is very aware of the strength of his opponent, and the champion team of the five major bowls should not be underestimated. They are at the top of the NCAA, not at the same level as other teams, and they are more than capable of watching everything.

Following the address given by Diana, Yi Fan and Rodgers found Coach Snell's address. This is a villa area, with a three-storey villa that looks idyllic and beautiful, with an idyllic style. A fat American shorthair cat was lying on a wooden railing basking in the sun, and when she saw Yi Fan and her arrival, she slipped into the house in dismay.

"Why did you come again, I said it, my uncle is not here, he went out with my grandfather, and I don't know when I will come back."

Just as Yifan and the others were about to ring the doorbell, the door opened first.

Standing in front of them was a young man in his teenage, he looked impatient, and it seemed that he had been harassed by someone for a long time.

But the young man looked a little flustered when he saw that there were two strangers who had come this time.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Yi Fan and Rogers looked at each other, and were about to open their mouths to explain the reason, when several people walked in through the door.

"Coach Snell hasn't come back yet? We have looked for him so many times and we can't see his figure, do we look down on us and deliberately disappear? ”

The men were in their early twenties, and they looked like students at some school. They were furious and looked very upset.

Among them, there was an older man, in his forties, dressed in a neat suit and leather shoes, who was smiling and sven, and seemed to be the leader of the group.

"Lad, you give me Snell's phone and let me talk to him." Said the leader who took the lead.

Seeing this group of people, the young boy in the house became angry at once, and he said loudly:

"Several! If you're looking for your uncle, and you talk about going to Dimoi Central Park, he's not at home! It's the same as many times you've come! ”

Dimoy Central Park?

Yi Fan recalled that on the way over just now, he did pass by such a place. It's not far from here, but it looks spacious, and there are quite a few people exercising inside.

"The uncle in his mouth should be Coach Snell. Why don't we go to Central Park and look for him? ”

Yi Fan leaned into Rogers' ear and whispered. Seeing that the atmosphere here is at an impasse, will there be any result for a while and a half. However, after arriving at Central Park, Yi Fan realized how stupid he was.

"Perhaps, we should stand there a little longer and listen to more information."

Dimoi Central Park covers dozens of acres, with six football fields alone. In addition, there are several basketball courts, flower beds, and grassy areas, which are good places for walking and exercising.

There are many people here, and it is impossible to find Snell, who doesn't even know what he looks like, in Chaozhou.

"What to do? So many people here? Where to find it? ”

Yi Fan looked around, not far from here is the basketball court, if you bring your sick father out, probably not to play basketball.

"Or I'll ask Diana to put Snell's picture on our phones, and you can go over here to the garden and have a look, and I'll go here to see if they're in the playground."

At the moment, Yifan can't think of any other way, come all the way over, and he can't go home empty-handed. And it's the morning, and there aren't many people in the park, so with a little more time and effort, you might be able to find it.

"Hmph, why should I listen to your command?"

Rogers looked dismissive, and although he verbally disagreed, he walked in the direction of the garden.

Yi Fan smiled bitterly and turned around and walked in the direction of the court.

There are a lot of people on the basketball court and the football field, some on the court, and many people are watching from the periphery. From a distance, these black and white needle people all look similar, and they are so fast that people are dazzled, and they can't recognize people at all.

Knock knock knock......

At this time, a basketball rolled from the side of the basketball court to Yi Fan's feet.

"Ah, excuse me, guy over there, can that guy help throw the balls?"

It was an old man with white hair who spoke. Although he looks old, he is full of energy, and his regular exercise makes his figure look only fifty years old.

Moreover, this person is a black-eyed Asian who looks like an Asian.

"Sir, take it!"

Yi Fan skillfully picked up the ball and passed the ball steadily into the old man's hands with a standard passing posture.

Yi Fan inadvertently used Mandarin, but fortunately, the old man understood, he caught the ball with both hands, and also responded in Mandarin: "Ouch, it's an expert!" ”

Yi Fan saw that everyone else on the basketball court was moving in pairs, one shooting, and the other picking up and passing.

And this old man seems to be only one person, so after shooting, he has to slowly run over to pick up the ball.

"Grandpa, I'll help you pick up the ball." Yi Fan took the initiative to propose. Anyway, Snell won't be able to find it for a while, so it's better to practice here and wait.

Seeing that Yi Fan was willing to take the initiative to help, the old man smiled and nodded in thanks.

"Little brother, you've played basketball before, you can see that you're very professional."

The old man stood outside the three-point line, made a jumper, and the ball shot accurately into the basket, and then, he changed several angles, and each ball went into the basket hollow.

Yi Fan noticed that this basket was a little tilted, if it wasn't for the regular practice here, practice makes perfect, and he would definitely not be able to do this level.

"When I was in high school, I played in China for a while, and I wasn't that professional. Grandpa, you often exercise here. Yi Fan asked with a smile.
