Chapter 40: The Middle Lineback (3)
When Stephenson's thin and agile body collapsed, the audience couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
"I actually stopped it, the technique is good!"
"Just let him be a lineback, quarterbacks are enough."
Yi Fan's miraculous performance cheered everyone up. In a situation where he seems to lose his center of gravity, he single-handedly stops Stephenson's smart movement.
Stephenson slowly sat up from the pasture, he seemed to be a little shocked, his eyes were a little glazed, I saw him keep shaking his head and looking back at Yi Fan.
For a moment, he seemed to go back to this time last year......
"You can't stop me......" Stephenson, who was still a sophomore, walked leisurely back from the touchdown area at this time last year, and it didn't take much effort for him to break through against the Wolverine's defense. Although the players are all substitutes or even freshmen, Haoqiang is Haoqiang, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how weak it is, it will not be weak.
"It's so disappointing for me, at this level. Let's go back and practice. He glanced at Leonard, who was standing on the sidelines. Leonard's hair was disheveled, his beard was unkempt, and he looked very embarrassed. In the face of Stephenson's rush, he failed to stop him once, so that he was scored two touchdowns by the opponent.
At this time, Leonard, who was already a third-year student, had not had a smooth playing career since he entered the team.
I changed several positions before and after, but I never found a satisfactory place. Obviously, he has a very versatile body, whether it is speed, bounce, or reading ability, he is very balanced.
In high school, Leonard played quarterback and had a lot of success, and it was because of why he was first picked by the Wolverine.
However, after coming to the Wolverine, he didn't have a great performance as a quarterback. Several seniors are very powerful, if you continue to persevere, I am afraid there will be no future.
That's when the coach suggested that he play a different position. After some consideration, he switched to running back.
As a runner, his performance is also remarkable, but after the golden generation entered the school, several core roles in the offensive group did not have his share. The scariest thing is not that you meet players who are more talented than you, but that they are even harder and younger than you.
Under the influence of the golden generation, Leonard felt that he was cornered, and there was nothing he could do. In desperation, Leonard had to give up the idea of staying in the offensive group, so he reluctantly came to the defensive group.
I thought that the pressure on the defensive group would be less difficult, and with his level, it should be no problem to be the main force here.
Unexpectedly, after coming to the defensive group, Leonard's life was not much better. From corner back to safety guard, he became more and more out of shape, and was even moved out of the bench at one point. At this point, Leonard almost lost himself, he didn't know what to do or what to do.
For him, the meaning of playing has been lost, and the courage to play. At this moment, it was time for the practice match to enter the squad. And the opponent he encountered on the court was the Zongqi team, and the person he had to keep an eye on was the second-year rising star runner, Stephenson.
It was this game that completely ignited his desire and stimulated his potential, and after the first battle, Leonard was able to fight more and more bravely. and take the position of the head of the defensive team.
It was at the time of Stephenson's repeated breakthroughs that Leonard suddenly realized something. He then began to adapt to Stephenson's technique and movements, and if he could keep up with the rhythm, he could continue to blow the opponent completely again and again.
It only takes one moment, and sometimes that's the reality. Once you catch this feeling, you can never forget it.
"This kid! Next time, I will definitely not let you succeed again. Stephenson thought to himself.
“ATTACK!”
-- Chapter Adjustment Dividing Line --
"I think it's going to start soon." Yi Fan asked. However, before he could finish his sentence, he heard a deafening roar.
"What's going on?" Yi Fan looked up and saw five combat planes flying through the center of the court. It turns out that the special event of planes flying over the stadium before each NFL game kicks off is a moment that shows both the importance of the game and the military power of the United States.
"One day, when the league is held in China, it will definitely be more spectacular than this." He thought to himself.
After various activities and ceremonies, the competition officially begins. They hadn't seen any rugby games before, so Robert had to act as a docent.
"Now it's our team's turn to attack, everyone pay attention, the person who has the ball now is the quarterback, he is the heart of the offense, the brain of the team, and the ball is in his hands first and then processed."
Based on the situation on the court, Robert continued: "Around the quarterbacks are the linemen, and their job is to block the defenders and protect the quarterbacks. A couple of the first to run out were wide receivers, who were tasked with catching passes from quarterbacks. In addition, next to the quarterback is the running guard who is responsible for ground offense, and he can also help block when necessary. ”
Yi Fan saw that as soon as someone on the court got the ball, one or two defenders immediately rushed up to hold him, and as the round progressed, the Lions' offense slowly advanced to the opponent's end zone.
"There are four offensive opportunities, divided into one, two, three and four gears, and as long as you get ten yards away from these four attacks, you can get four more offensive opportunities, otherwise you will lose the offensive opportunities." Robert said.
Yi Fan stared intently at everything that happened on the field, and after Robert's commentary and live demonstration, he slowly understood the game, but his attention was more on the players' movements than the game itself.
Three hours later, four quarters were over, and the Pittsburgh Steelers completed the game with a long pass in the final minute to win 20-15 over the Lions.
"That ball was actually caught, I don't know how."
"Unbelievable, it's so intense."
After the race, they were still talking about it, and Robert seized the opportunity to start training.
"Our training is divided into two types: basic skills and special reinforcement, basic skills are what everyone needs to learn and master, and special reinforcement is special reinforcement for different positions. We have limited time for the lesson, so please take advantage of the opportunity to win the final game. Robert said.
Hearing that there was a competition at the end, everyone became eager to try and enthusiastic. After all, I just watched the Lions game, and the boiling blood in my body has not cooled down.
"Your physical fitness and strength can't be improved in just a few days, so the basic skills mainly improve your sense of balance, passing and receiving ability, as well as basic running and confrontation postures. As for the special strengthening ......"
Robert paused and said, "Let's assign their positions first." ”
