"Come on, give them a little color. The other side is just a newly formed team, and a lot of key personnel and positions have changed, so there is nothing to fear now. ”

The game began, and the coach of the Kilgido Dolphins looked excited. They are just a team in the second division. I didn't expect to be able to accept an invitation to practice for the University of Michigan team, which is a veteran and traditional. This is a treatment that has never been done before.

Not to mention the winners and losers, being able to play against a team in the First Division is a thing worth bragging about.

However, with the development of the times, it is not uncommon for the top teams in the second division to beat some teams in the first division.

Everyone can see that the gap between the two leagues is gradually narrowing. Some of the best in the League will also be scouted for the league draft.

Compared with the First League, the Second Division has more teams and the competition is fiercer. Although the level is uneven, in fact, the strength level of most of the people in it is not similar to that of ordinary teams in the First League, but the awareness of playing and the intensity of training are different.

Like this Kilgido Dolphins, it is one of the teams that woke up earlier. Their team management was aware of the problem a few years ago, and after gradually increasing the intensity of their training, it quickly became apparent. With 9 wins and 3 defeats last season, the team has not had many opponents in the entire second division.

However, although the coach swore that it was really like that, many of the players present still seemed a little lacking in confidence. After all, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the team in the First Division has always drawn a hurdle in their hearts, so on the psychological level, the word Wolverine team alone has brought them great pressure.

Moreover, although the team's lineup is newly established and still in the run-in period, its performance in the wild card game is also obvious to all. How weak can the team that can make it to the national championship wildcard final?

After all, most of the news that can be viewed on the Internet is still on the news of wild card games. Not many people know about the recent changes in the team. Therefore, these Dolphin players did not expect that after the wild card game, the team would be reorganized and changed again.

However, their coaches are more or less aware of this, which is why they seem so confident.

Just when the Dolphins were eager to try, the Wolverine's preparation area was depressed. There was no publicity for this practice match, so there were no onlookers, and no one would know what the outcome was.

"The goal of our practice match is not to win. Instead, through the competition, the team can be formed as soon as possible and improve the cooperation between the team members. We should pay more attention to the process than the result of the game. I hope you all have something to show and gain. ”

Coach McCarthy sent this message to the team before the game began, which sounded a bit unconfident. Whether it was Leonard or Chris, their brows furrowed unconsciously after hearing this.

In the past, they didn't even bother to put down their body to play with the teams in the second division, let alone lose, which was completely fantastical.

But now, in the mouth of Coach McCarthy, victory or defeat is not the matter. That alone upset Chris.

After these few days of cooperation, he also has a more comprehensive understanding of the new quarterback Sinkos. It's not entirely true that the coaching staff has poached candidates from other teams, but they are not as good as they say they are, at best they are average players in the First Division or slightly better than the average players.

Coupled with the fact that they came from afar, the ability and adaptability shown by these people in training are not as good as those of the previous players. Cooperate and far less skillful. In this case, playing practice matches, winning is fine, but losing is really destroying self-confidence.

"I don't know what the practice session will look like."

And the players in the training lineup like Yifan are not eligible to participate in the practice match, and they have not even been arranged to visit. All they need to do is continue to strengthen their workouts.

"The first team is the second division. I don't think I'm going to lose anywhere, it's just ......"

Matthews looked embarrassed and stopped. Despite the changes to the roster, his older brother Marbury is still one of the team's main running backs. From his mouth, Matthews knew that the new quarterback Sinkos was not very good. Especially when it comes to the accuracy of passing.

I have to say that as an experienced senior student, his reading ability itself is quite good. But it's easy to make mistakes during passing. This is undoubtedly a hidden danger that cannot be ignored for the current Wolverine team

"If the Dolphins have players who are good at interception, then our offense could be dangerous."

Whether it's Matthews or Yi Fan, they are all the ones who have stepped back from the squad. Naturally know Leonard's defensive ability. It will definitely not let the opponent score points easily, but if you can't open your attack, you can't win the victory.

And the truth is, just as Matthews feared, Sinkows' offense did make mistakes. In the crucial transition of his own 40-yard 3rd gear, he made a mistake in one of his short passes, which was successfully intercepted by the opponent's safety guard and immediately launched a return attack.

Because the mistake came so suddenly, the rest of the team didn't even react. Relying on this interception and return attack, the Dolphins took the lead in breaking the deadlock. Got the crucial three points and took a 3-0 lead.

What's more serious is that because of this ball, the feeling that Sinkaos finally warmed up looked cold again. Two consecutive three-gear transitions didn't work.

In the end, at the end of the first half, the Wolverines didn't score a point, three points behind the opponent.

"We have two rookie-caliber wide receivers! What's going on with this offense? Don't have a little brain? ”

McCarvey sat on the bench, helplessly watching everything that happened on the field, and smashed the kettle on the handle of the air.

In the wild card game, even if the offense is not smooth, it has never been so uncomfortable. This kind of timid style of play completely avoids their strengths.

Fortunately, Sinkaus himself kept looking at the data in the first half for self-reflection, and apart from that interception, he didn't make any big mistakes, so he can only be said to be in a bad state.

And the difference is only three points behind, and a free kick can be recovered. So I didn't rush to replace him when I practiced.
