"You say, Trident?" Yi Fan looked puzzled. He'd heard the term a few times, but he didn't know it in depth.

Dean looked dismissive, and he introduced: "It all started at the end of 2015, that is, at the end of last year, when our team qualified for the Rose Bowl by ranking first in the top ten leagues, but lost to Stanford University in the final battle. And last year, that is, at the end of '16, our team finally got its wish, successfully defeated the University of Oregon in the competition, and successfully won the Rose Bowl! Equalling the team's all-time best. Dean said proudly.

Last year, as a first-year student, he watched the team go from the regular season to the Rose Bowl and finally the University of Oregon.

The team's record Yi Fan had heard Matthews roughly say, and the specific process was unknown, but through today's match with the Spartans, I can already imagine how fierce it was.

In the team's 100-year history, there have only been more than a dozen bowl games in the division. After all, only by becoming the division champion of the Big Ten and the Pacific Twelve Conferences can you qualify for the competition. In addition to the national championships, the Rose Bowl already represents the highest glory.

"We were able to win because we had the best quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs in the Big Ten at the time.

The generation that entered the school in 2015 is called the golden generation, the quarterback Brady, who is known as the "eye of the sky", the wide receiver Luis, who is nicknamed the "star", and the running back Isoble, who is known as the "strongest", in addition to the current defensive team leader Leonard, left end forward Tiger and others, all entered the school that year.

Last year, thanks to their outstanding performance, our team was able to win the University of Oregon and even became a candidate for the national championship at one point. Dean said.

For Yi Fan, these people have no idea, after all, they have never seen each other, but Dean is different, he is one year younger than the golden generation, these people are not only teammates who fight together day and night, seniors who guide their own progress, but also the goals and heroes he longs for.

"And what about later? Did you win the National Championship? Yi Fan asked urgently.

Dean shook his head and said with a little regret, "No, we lost in the second round against the Super Galactic Battleship - Alabama Red Tide Storms. Not only because of the strength of his opponents, but more importantly, Luis was seriously injured in the game and said goodbye to the game. The other wide receivers, facing the Alabama defense, couldn't get the ball at all. Without a long-range offensive means, even Brady had no choice, and in the end he could only stop at the top four. ”

As he spoke, Dean looked a little excited, speaking of which he was only in the first year at the time, and he wasn't even a substitute, but even if he could play, his ability was not strong enough to stand up to the epic Alabama powerhouse. He could only shout encouragement from the sidelines, helpless and unwilling to watch the team lose the game.

Quarterback Brady, known as the "eye in the sky", Luis, the wide receiver of "Picking Stars", and Izeble, the running back known as the "strongest", can feel their aura just by listening to their names.

Thinking of this, Yi Fan suddenly realized a problem.

"As I said, Mr. Louis was injured in the tournament, so goodbye to the tournament, what about Mr. Brady and Mr. Isoble?"

Judging from the enrollment time, several of them should be third-graders now, and they should all be in school.

At the mention of this topic, Dean looked a little frustrated. The three of them are like a flash in the pan, bringing brilliant brilliance. But there was almost no inheritance, and it ended abruptly.

"After Mr. Louis was injured, he was immediately taken to Detroit First General Hospital for treatment and surgery, and although the operation was successful, it may take two or three years to recover to last year's level. The doctor said that it was already good to be able to keep his career as an athlete, and the recovery period of two or three years can be regarded as a small matter. ”

Dean paused and said, "As for quarterback Brady, I'm sure you've heard about it more or less. He was invited to the draft by the NFL league and was drafted with a low pick. He started playing for the New England Patriots this year, and although he is still the third or fourth quarterback, we believe that with his quality, he will be able to achieve results soon. ”

"So, what about the strongest running back, Mr. Isoble?" Yi Fan finally asked. Brady should be the only one drafted by the NFL draft, and I didn't hear that he was injured, so why was he not in school.

"Mr. Izable, he is now in England. He was selected by the school to be a representative and spent a year at Cambridge University in England as an exchange student, so he missed the season. ”

The UK is also a country that loves American football, and every year the London game attracts a large number of fans.

"We lost the support of the Trident on the offensive end, and the firepower was not comparable to last year. Although Pfister's performance is eye-catching, there is still a distance compared to the three of them. In addition, the lack of a core quarterback and a strong running back is also our weakness. If you really want to contribute to the team, start with the basics and work your way up step by step. Time will give you a satisfactory answer, but it is absolutely not advisable to be in a hurry. ”

Looking at Dean and their departing figures, Yi Fan returned to the locker room, and the moment he relaxed, he found that his muscles were numb and even out of control. Prolonged overexertion can cause muscle damage and make injuries more susceptible, which can be fatal for an athletic student.

Anyway, now that he has been sent back to the training lineup, coupled with Dean's admonition, Yifan's mentality has been completely adjusted.

Because he failed to turn around at the last moment of the game and failed to win a victory for the team, he resolved the unwillingness in his heart, integrated this regret into his blood, and sharpened himself for a long time, instead of being brave for a while.

After taking a shower and relaxing, Yi Fan changed into his casual clothes and went to the small café next door to the training ground to ask for a cup of milk tea and cake.

The café is located on the third floor, with a clear view of the training ground, and it is also a good place to watch sometimes training matches. Because the location is relatively remote, there are not many people who usually come, and it seems very quiet.

During the day, it was slightly better, but at night, except for the occasional self-study student, there were basically not many people, and as for the team members, they rarely came here because they spent all their time training.

At this time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, close to ten o'clock, and the small café was playing a soothing song of the ball, which made Yi Fan's tired body feel relaxed.

At this time, he saw a handsome young man sitting at the table opposite, with eyes like torches and thick eyebrows like hooks. His short blond hair and beard shine even brighter against his white skin.
