『Chapter error, click here to report』
At the mention of his brother, Favors suddenly had a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
It is said that providence makes people, and for their family, this may be the best embodiment.
"Favors, look at your brother, you have won the championship again, you have to work hard!"
Since childhood, Favors has grown up with a pile of trophies, most of which, of course, his brother won.
Favors grew up almost always following in the footsteps of his brother. The two of them are only four years apart, and they are both parents of sports athletes, giving them excellent physical abilities by nature.
And his brother Wolf is better, both in stature and reaction speed, which is much stronger than Favors.
Although the family conditions are not particularly good, his brother has had a strong interest in rugby since he was a child, and his parents have to save money and let him receive professional rugby coaching.
Therefore, his brother has been a well-known flag football player since elementary school. He has won the title of Rising Star many times.
At the start of junior high school, his brother took up formal football and became a quarterback, leading the team to victory at the municipal and even state levels.
"I'm going to be the next Peyton Manning!"
This was his brother's goal, and he gave everything he could to it.
But when he moved on to high school, he was less gifted than his peers.
Especially in the quarterback position, he has always lacked a little bit of background compared to others.
Therefore, after being admitted to the University of Miami, his brother was adjusted from the quarterback position to become a running back.
For this reason, his brother complained to his family in tears countless times. But in order to be able to enter the alliance, and for the sake of his family's livelihood, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.
"An all-round running guard who can pass, run and catch will definitely become the mainstream of the league in the future. There are very, very few people who can do that, but you have the conditions. This is what the team's assistant coach said to his brother, as long as he keeps playing running back and achieves good results, he can get a good amount of encouragement.
In fact, after switching to running back, his brother's results broke new ground again.
His track and field parents and black genes gave him a strong explosiveness, and years of experience as a quarterback gave him a wealth of reading, and with two killer features, he had an excellent punching talent.
At the same time, he has a solid passing technique, can carry out the deception tactics of the coaching staff, and make the attack more diverse, and before you know it, his brother has become a headache running back.
Just when everyone, including Favors, thought his brother was going to enter the draft and enter the league, bringing glory and hope to their family.
His brother was seriously injured in a game and his left foot was completely scrapped. Not to mention playing, he limped when he walked, and he was completely reduced to a waste.
This accident was like a bolt from the blue, destroying the hope of the whole family. Overnight, the family was plunged into endless darkness.
All along, Favors has been following in his brother's footsteps and making his brother his goal.
This is true whether it is during the junior flag football period, or in junior high school or even high school.
But after the accident, Favors knew he should step up and lead the family out of the gloom.
Therefore, he began to find ways to improve himself, and in high school, he was still playing as an outboarder, but he knew that with his talent as an outboard, it was not easy to get into a good high school. As a result, he strengthened his body while practicing his forward skills, and in the final two years of high school, he successfully switched to the near end and was eventually selected by the University of Michigan.
"You have to do well in college, you have to participate in rookie selection after graduation, and you have to be a member of the league." Such thoughts motivate Favors to live every day.
However, the excellent performance of the trident made his ability on the receiving end not reflected, and the team's need for a close end was more focused on pocket protection, so the coaching staff reused Williams and Pachuria, putting Favors on the bench as the team's third near end. At the end of a season, you don't have a few minutes on the pitch, let alone any stats.
Of course, Louis, who is a close friend, knew all this, so after he learned about what happened, he immediately rushed over, just because he was afraid that the situation would expand and affect Favors's position.
You know, whether or not he can participate in the league draft, for Favors, there is only one season left to perform, and once he doesn't get a start in this final season, his football career is likely to end here.
Favors is also very aware of this, so he wants to let the team go further, in the wild card game, in the national championship, as long as he continues to win, his figure will appear in the eyes of many scouts, and the possibility of participating in the draft will be one more point.
Therefore, Yi Fan's bad state and absent-minded appearance made him so troubled and unhappy.
"Luis, in your opinion, is that kid really that strong? Like Johnson said, the name trident is still strong? After calming down, Favors asked Louis.
"Did Coach Johnson give him such a high rating?" Louis looked surprised, even a little unbelievable. When they were at the peak of their trident, they had never heard the manager praise them like this.
Unconvinced, Favors nodded.
"Yes, that's what Johnson said. I don't know why. The head coach seems to have a special eye on him, and even threatened that he would make history. Sounds unbelievable. I didn't play with him for a lot of time, but in terms of how he played during this time, I didn't feel like he could be any better. Especially compared to Brady, that's a far cry. It's not a grade or two worse. You're an old partner with him, right? How did he say that you grew up with half a hand? You are certainly more familiar with his situation than I am. That's why Favors chose to ask Louis directly, and his words were absolutely reliable.
And in several key games, officially relying on Luis's play and wonderful catch, Yifan can have an excellent performance. The relationship between the two is also well known in the team.
"Your question is really a little difficult to answer, let me think about it." Louis deliberately looked embarrassed.
After thinking for a while, he asked rhetorically, "Let's put it this way, in your opinion, what level do you think that kid can be now?" ”
Favors was stunned for a moment, and Louis's question was even more difficult to answer.
It's hard to compare what level a person is. What's more, Yifan plays at quarterback, while Favors plays at the near end, and there is no comparison between the two.
