Chapter 230: Breakthrough (2)

With a gift in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, Yi Fan returned to the dormitory with some trepidation. Although I was almost discovered, I still gained a lot. It's a pity that with such a video, it can't prove anything, and more strong evidence is needed to remove McCarthy from power.

"Hey, how's it going, you two? Are there any new discoveries? ”

Just as Yi Fan went to McCarthy's residence, the other two went to the team to inquire about the news. Inquire about the breakthrough in this matter from the mouths of these players who have been poached.

One thing McCarthy has in common is that most of them are third-year students, who will be promoted to fourth-year next season, which means that the next season will be their last.

And the origins of these people are often not small. There are some people who have jumped from the old powerhouses. Like USC, Iowa Cyclones, Clemson Tigers, etc. Teams like these are basically above the Wolverine.

It's just that these people are only No. 3 or No. 4 players in the original team. In other words, they don't even get a chance to play. No matter how hard and hard you train, as long as the two or three people in front of you are still there, there is no chance to perform.

After splitting up with Yifan, Matthews went to the training gym, and although the atmosphere of the team was not as good as before, there were still people who continued to hold on to their dreams, including most of the people who transferred to the school. These people need to work harder than others, whether it is through McCarthy's connections or not, they are transferred here with the idea of entering the league.

"Mr. Lawrence, can I practice here?"

Matthews walked over to a man with a large chin, dark brown beard, and hair. This man is Lawrence from Auburn University, also a senior, and plays as a lineman.

The last time he played a practice match against the Dolphins, he hadn't made it to the school, so he didn't make it in time, but not playing made him look forward to the team.

So even though many people have lost motivation, he naturally insists on exercising in the training room. At this time, he was sitting on the rowing machine, exercising his upper body strength. But I've been practicing for a while, I'm exhausted, and I'm ready to rest. But his man was still sitting on a rowing machine, which is why Matthews asked.

"Absolutely! I'm done with it, I'm so embarrassed. ”

Lawrence nodded politely, took the initiative to give up the rowing machine, and carefully wiped the sweat away. His attitude was very polite, and he didn't look like a senior student at all.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lawrence. It won't be long before the new season begins. I'm not in the squad right now, but I'm going to have to keep working hard and try to get back in the squad as soon as possible. ”

Matthews chatted with Lawrence while practicing, although he is a first-year student, he has been in the squad and shown his face in the game, and he is still very qualified.

Lawrence is a newcomer and doesn't know much about the team's players, and it's rare to meet such a young veteran player who is willing to communicate with the second division, and he is very willing to listen to the team's information.

"Mr. Lawrence is from Auburn University, and the strength of the Tigers is also ranked in the top ten in the country, so why did he deliberately transfer to such a powerful team."

Matthews asked casually. Auburn University is known for its prowess, and as a powerhouse in the Western Division of the Southeast Conference, the Tigers can even compete with the Alabama Red Tide, and in some seasons even beat the Red Tide.

"yes, Auburn is amazing, it's the team I admire the most. Do you know? This season, we also beat the University of Georgia, which is one of the top three teams in the country. ”

Lawrence is proud to be on the bench at Auburn University, and it's a great thing to do.

However, this pride quickly turned into loss, after all, no matter how strong the opponent the team defeated, no matter how brilliant the victory was, it had little to do with him, what he did was to wave and cheer for the main players in the preparation area.

As teammates, whether it is Lawrence or other substitutes, they put in no less effort and sweat than the main players. If you insist on saying where the gap is, where it is worse, it may be that the talent is still a little worse.

The cruel thing is that it is precisely because of this small bit of luck that the dream that he has held on for a long time may eventually fall short.

"But no matter how great Auburn University is, it's a thing of the past. What I'm going to do is to do that this season. ”

Lawrence himself knows that the top priority is to use beautiful stats in next season's games to put himself on the spotlight of scouts and win the draft.

"But a talent like you, the Auburn University Tigers are willing to let go easily, if it were me, I wouldn't do it."

Matthews didn't think that once or twice he could get the other party's bottom out. However, the occasional side knock still has an effect.

After chatting for a while, Matthews' constant praise began to pay off, and Lawrence seemed relaxed and not at all vigilant.

"If it wasn't for McCarthy, I wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to transfer to another school, even though it took a lot of effort. But it's better to be able to fight than to stay in the Tigers, and there is no hope in sight. ”

Although the average team has a lot of rotation lineups up front, there are often many substitutes that can be replaced. And a mountain stuck in front of Lawrence is not an ordinary role, but a rookie player, known as the draft favorite Truman. With this man in the main position, Lawrence has little chance at all.

"I think someone as powerful as you should have come over a long time ago. If you had transferred two years earlier, maybe our grades would have been much better than they are now. I was in the same squad as you before, but I didn't have a chance to play, and then I would like to bother you to talk to head coach McCarthy, I don't dare to expect to be a main player, but I hope to give me a chance to perform. Even if it's just one or two. Every time I go on the field and run a run, I feel that I have gained a lot. ”

Matthews is speaking his own mind here. As he said, even when he made an appointment to go. He didn't get a lot of chances to play.

But the tension, excitement, and pressure on the field is definitely not something you can feel during training. Even if it's just a few minutes, it can be more effective than training off the field for days or even longer.

Seeing Matthews empathize, Lawrence couldn't help but think of his own experience. He patted Matthews on the shoulder, smiled and said:

"Okay, don't worry. When head coach McCarthy has time, I'll take you to him. ”
