Chapter 61: Playing (6)

The Lions didn't expect to be scored 15 points in a row by the opponent at the last moment, narrowing the difference to the overtake, and even JD Jones didn't dare to take it lightly.

'We still have a three-point lead and this time we only have two targets, push steadily, consume time, and finally try to get points.' JD Jones changed his serious expression and said with a smile: "11 such difficult games have been won, let alone now." Win this game and win the Rose Bowl with a winning result. ”

It has to be said that Jones's final incentive effect is very obvious. After hearing this, the players who were originally a little shaken immediately became imposing and still maintained their original kingly spirit.

The last 3 minutes are on!

As soon as the Wolverines kicked the ball back into the opposing half, the Lions immediately launched a counterattack, but they were too careful and were eventually crushed to the ground on their own fifteen-yard line. But for the Lions, this result is not unacceptable. They just need to run out of time to win the game.

"Mr. Leonard, please come on!"

Before the defensive group came on the field, Yi Fan couldn't help but step forward and said. At this moment, the person who decided the outcome of the game was not him, nor Pfister, but Leonard. If the defensive team allows the opponent to score one more touchdown, the game is over.

"You've worked so hard, we've got to do better. Just warm up and get ready to play. Leonard patted him on the shoulder and said.

“ATTACK!”

After kick-off, Baines turned around and handed the ball to running back Boozer, with a very clear purpose, which was to attack on the ground and consume game time. And with the help of his teammates to open the way, Boozer scored six or seven yards in the first gear. Although Leonard knows that the opponent will use this style of play, there is no good way, after all, at the level of the forward line, they are still at a disadvantage.

Although the score is still behind and time is running out, the fans, led by the cheerleaders, are still trying their best to make noise and try to interfere with the Lions' offense.

After all, the home team has rekindled their hopes of the game by just two touchdowns. Being able to overtake the score at the last minute is exactly what fans want to see the most.

Two gears and four yards!

Baines still found Boozer to break through on the ground again, but this time Leonard didn't give the opponent another chance, and when Boozer got the ball and was about to break through the front line, he stepped forward in time to fill in the position, holding Boozer to the ground, allowing the opponent to only get a yard of advancement.

While the front two stalls didn't seem to have much to do in terms of yardage advancement, they had managed to consume a minute of game time.

I saw the referee blow the horn of the official timeout for 2 minutes. This means that the time left for the Wolverines is already at stake. Now the focus of the game is on when the ball is converted.

If the Lions are allowed to take another first attack, it will drag on like this. Even if the Wolverines get the ball again, there will be no time to organize an attack.

Therefore, this three-gear conversion has become the key to determining the outcome of the game.

"Mr. Leonard, I noticed a detail." Taking advantage of the official timeout, Yi Fan quickly found Leonard. He had been organizing attacks on the field before, so naturally he couldn't notice the changes in the opposing players, but after getting off the court, through a few rounds of observation, he quickly discovered some small details.

"Really? If that's the case......" Leonard was taken aback after listening to Yi Fan's advice. I didn't expect him to be able to notice even such a subtle detail, and the degree of concentration and carefulness of this guy can be seen.

As everyone knows, these days, in order to find out the personality characteristics of each player in the team, he basically focuses on detailed observation, although the technical aspect has not improved much, but unconsciously his observation ability has changed by leaps and bounds.

Leonard looked at Yi Fan's confident expression, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the coach and rearrange the defensive position." ”

After the official timeout ended, players from both sides took to the field again. There are less than two minutes left until the end of the game. Every second counts.

In the city game, the Lions' three-gear conversion success rate was as high as 70 percent, and 13 three-gear transitions were played nine times, which is a terrifying statistic, so in the face of this three-gear three-yard offense, they seemed confident, still according to the previous offensive configuration, one running back, two wide receivers and two close ends. It not only has the ability to attack on the ground, but also has a certain level of passing and receiving.

The Wolverines quietly adjusted the defensive forward, and changed the most impactful left end forward, Tiger, to a right end. Because they are all forward players, whether it is the coach JD Jones off the court or Baynes on the field, they don't particularly care.

“READY! ATTACK!”

After Baines got the kick-off, he didn't choose to give Boozer again, but paused to observe. And in the blink of an eye, Xavier, Michael, Vic and Tiger immediately launched an all-out attack on the opposing front.

In the previous several offensive and defensive games, the Lions' forward line showed strong protection ability, so Baines was largely undisturbed and was able to pass the ball comfortably every time.

And this time, Xavier, Michael, and Vic are the same as before, and they can't advance further and pose a threat to Baines. Only Tiger formed a one-on-one with the opponent's guard from the far right, unexpectedly single-point explosion, relying on his own strength to directly push the opponent's guard backwards like a crusher, squeezed to Baines's side, hugged him tightly from the side and fell to the ground, and completed the grappling without mercy.

This scene came so suddenly that the entire Lions players did not react. Since the start of the game, their forward line has never been at a disadvantage, let alone being broken through and tackled.

Opposite Tiger is their right end line-up Waynes, a third-year who has one of the best abilities in the team and has been so good in the past that he has almost outplayed Vic in the matchup. So even if the counterpoint is replaced by Tiger, it will not be unilaterally crushed.

"Under normal circumstances, Mr. Tiger would not have been able to break through the Wiens mark so easily. But at the moment, Waynes is a little out of shape, and he may be inadvertently injured. Yifan analyzed.

He noticed that in the first three quarters of defense, when Vic and Waynes faced each other, it was like hitting a wall, and they couldn't move at all. However, in the last few rounds of defense, although he was unable to break through, Vic was able to push a step or two forward.

"I asked Mr. Vic and he felt the same way. He himself has not become stronger, so it can only be said that the other party has become weaker. It was this that Yifan told Johnson that made this tackle.
