"Hey! Everybody! Give me some more strength! Let them taste our awesomeness! We've been working so hard for so long to get this win, aren't we? It's not over yet, we still have hope. ”

Luis, who is still a high school student, said to his teammates.

The first of the National Interstate Tournament, East Singland High School vs. Athena High School.

With only the final quarter of the game remaining, Luis trailed their opponents by 20 points.

The other party is the Athena Middle School, which is known as the impregnable wall. Despite all the preparations in advance, I didn't expect the opponent to be superior in skills, coupled with extraordinary performance, to take a double-digit lead in the first half and firmly control the direction of the whole game.

Next to Luis, there are the most reliable teammates, quarterback Alex, center Kingsley, and running back Marcus Mariotta. The Six Knights of the White Horse in Dongxinlan is another name given to them by people, and is known as invincible and invincible. But now, these six knights were beaten so that they could not find the north.

Even though Louis was hysterical, the atmosphere in the preparation area was still depressing.

At this point, quarterback Alex said, "We've done everything we can and played well!" Even so, we are still 20 points behind, so we can only say that the other side is too strong and more prepared than us. Lose, I feel like there's nothing to say. ”

"After all, the other party is one of the top three high schools in the country, and it's normal to not be able to beat them. Although we are very unwilling, I believe that we can definitely get stronger and do better next year. Running back Marcus Mariotta saw that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly mediated.

"We've already won the state first prize and we'll definitely do it again next year. In this game, forget about the victory and defeat now, and work hard until the last moment. Kingsley was also encouraged.

But everyone could hear that the exhaustion and helplessness in his words did not have the slightest pursuit of victory.

Several of them are still only sophomores, and they have already led the team to the state championship, which is a very great achievement. On top of this, it is to impact the whole country, and it is a completely different world. They are not optimistic, and it is already unexpected that they can come to this point.

Before the start of the state competition, the whole team was still immersed in the joy of the state championship and was barely prepared for the next competition.

After all, throughout the regular season, the Six Knights of the White Horse were invincible! Invincible!

Such a concept made the whole White Horse team a little flustered.

"You cowards!"

Louis finally couldn't help it. He had always been calm, and he pointed at Alex with a red face, and they shouted, "Give up so easily!" Where to deserve the winner of the upper state races! Admit defeat before the game is over, where is it still like our style! The so-called six horsemen are just six cowards! ”

"Enough!"

Alex is also on fire. He slammed the can to the ground and struck back with Louis by the collar with one hand, "No one wants to lose the game, everyone did their best." You don't feel satisfied! If you think you can do miracles, OK! You hit! ”

Alex has always done what he says, and in the next three attacks, he didn't care about the coach's advice and tactics, and chose to play long passes to Luiz. Forty yards at a time, thirty-five yards at a time, and fifty-five yards at a time.

It's just a gamble, but the ball is in his hands, he has the control, and he can play as much as he wants.

Coupled with the fact that he is the core of the whole team, the coach can't do anything about him.

There is no hope at the moment, it is better to use dead horses as live horse doctors, and simply do whatever they want.

Louis was furious when he saw Alex coming for real.

Since you are the first year of junior high school, I will be the fifteenth! If you dare to pass it, I will dare to take it!

Luis then tried his best to catch the passes.

But for high school students who are only in their teens, it is almost impossible to get rid of the opponent receiving a long pass from such a distance while being marked. Luis also began to get angry after a series of failed catches, and in the crucial three-gear transition catch, he rudely pushed the defender, not only did he not get the catch, but he was also penalized for yards.

After leaving the field, Louis saw that the tide was gone, so he could only stand on the sidelines in frustration and watch the cheering figures of the other party.

If I could have been stronger, if I could have received that pass, if I had been able to get a few more touchdowns, maybe the team wouldn't have stopped here.

He thought to himself. At this time, instead of feeling depressed, he even felt his blood boiling.

But he glanced back at his teammates behind him, all of them had disappointment and fatigue on their faces, not to mention unwillingness, even a trace of blood could not be seen.

Even if they continued to fight together, Louis always felt that he and them were no longer the same people.

Even though in the following senior year, they continued to win the state championship and made team history, but in the choice of college, Luis resolutely said goodbye to others and came to the University of Michigan alone.

"In the blink of an eye, four years have passed."

For them, these four years of growth are enough to change everything.

Luis wondered how far they had grown over the years.

Time flies, and they are no longer young high school students. It's someone who is ready to participate in the rookie draft and start the professional league.

In the past three years, after they parted ways, they have not officially fought each other. After the referee blew the horn for the end of the match, Luis knew that this time, he was going to meet his teammates who had struggled.

The two wildcard semifinals were held at about the same time, and the Wolverines eventually won 34-6. The Stanford and Middle Tennessee match also blew the final whistle shortly afterward.

Stanford won hard-fought 20-14. The battle lasted until the final minute, and it wasn't until a missed catcher at Middle Tennessee State that the game was decided.

"I'm about to fight with my old guy, how do you feel?"

At the airport back to school, Favors couldn't help but ask Luis. He also came out of the same high school, so he naturally understands the relationship between them.

"I don't feel anything, let's try to win them." Louis said with a calm face. He looked calm, without a hint of turbulence.

"I really admire you, I feel a little apprehensive." Favors smiled. One Louis is enough of a headache. Not to mention five beings like him.

"Haven't we all been like this all the way? There are no permanent teammates, anyone can be an opponent, whether it's Alex, Brady, or even myself. So, get ready early in the morning. ”

After Louis finished speaking, he squinted and put on his headphones to rest.

Favors found it boring, so he turned around and found Yi Fan.

He said that, but he would definitely be affected. Go for it. Favors reminded.
