"Lions? I heard you right. ”

"How did the Lions show up at this point in time?"

After hearing this, everyone talked about it and looked at each other. An expression of disbelief.

Yi Fan was even more surprised, he was a die-hard member of the Lions fan club, and he hadn't heard of the team having this kind of activity tonight.

Although the Lions did not have a good record this season and failed to make the playoffs in the end, they are much better than previous seasons.

In addition, it is a veteran team in Detroit, and the crowd base is very wide, so it is generally not very casual to go out.

"Let's go!"

"Let's take a look!"

At the last celebrity meeting, just a few substitute players had already fascinated the little guys, not to mention the main players.

A group of them had just hurried out of the conference room when they saw a group of people walking into the meadow from a distance.

Leading the way was Mr. Schleisel, the principal, and Johnson, the team's head coach, and among them was Mr. Fox, the owner of the Lions.

Behind them, his secretary, Mr. Wynne, and a group of burly players, smiled and waved to the students on either side.

"Oh my God! It's Stafford! It's really him! ”

"And Abdullah! He's coming, too! Could it be that the main forces are really here! ”

As the team's core quarterback and running back, these two are the most recognizable star players, and both of them are on the team this time.

Of course, wide receiver Conigrates and benchback Skinzeger are also on the bench.

Yi Fan has a relationship with them, and waved from afar.

There are more than 20 players who came to the school this time, covering all positions in the offensive and defensive groups, and there are main substitutes, and the lineup looks very luxurious.

"Let's start with a round of applause to welcome our Detroit Lions! Thank you to them for a great season for us this season. It's a great honour for us to be here. At the same time, I would like to thank them for giving us the opportunity to participate in the Wild Card Tournament and challenge for the National Championship! Mr. Schleicell, the Rector of the University, gave the first speech.

As soon as the words fell, the scene immediately erupted in thunderous applause.

It's almost unique for a team to be able to participate in a wild card game with such a record. Everyone had been speculating about who had given them the chance, but now it seems to have come to light.

The Lions used what they had to recommend them to get them on the wild card bus.

Seeing this, Mr. Fox calmly led the team to smile and waved to everyone, and then said: "It is a great honor for me to be here on this historic and well-known campus. Last season, the Wolverines performed amazingly, and although this season has a mediocre record, I believe that the team's dedication and pursuit of victory, as well as the ability and determination of the players, will definitely go far in the wild card game and even in the national championship. The Lions also hope to maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship with your school. There are two main purposes for coming here tonight, the first of which is to bring new equipment to everyone! ”

The lineup for the new squad has been decided, including new first-year recruits, while fourth-year players have retired.

The replacement of equipment due to personnel rotation is not a small expense.

You know, a lot of rugby gear has to be custom-made for each person's size. This ensures the best fit and protects the player from injury.

The materials and production have high requirements, so the price is also very expensive.

Therefore, the equipment of the college team is rarely purchased by itself, and is often provided by the sponsor of the sporting goods, so as to ensure the quality of the equipment.

Especially after entering the national championship, the equipment requirements are even stricter.

Although the Ford Group has nothing to do with sporting goods, Mr. Fox has money and can sponsor as much as he wants. He reached out to Nike Group and offered to sponsor the jerseys for the new Wolverines team, which could be used in wildcard games and practice matches.

The new jersey is still in yellow and dark blue, and the overall style is similar to the original jersey. The only difference is that on the chest and helmet, there is an additional logo of the Lions.

"Once you've decided which number you're going to fight with, come up and pick it." Mr. Fox said.

In the NFL, there are some strict restrictions on the number of jerseys, and there is a fixed number of positions that can be selected. For example, quarterbacks can only choose -9, and running backs can only choose 20-49.

Although the NAA's requirements for numbers are not as strict as those of the alliance, considering the continuity of numbers, it is still possible to choose according to this rule as much as possible.

Previously, Yi Fan wandered between various positions, and there was no fixed number.

This made him always lack a sense of belonging.

Lack of a sense of responsibility of one's own.

Now, it's time for a new beginning.

"Well, which number are you going to pick? You have to do it quickly, or you'll be chosen. Wang Yang suggested on the side.

He has a number 55 shirt in his hand, and after the previous game, he has become the team's center forward substitute.

Although I have been ridiculed in other sports before, I have been teased by others.

Sora has a lot of strength, poor balance, and slow running speed.

These became his nightmares for a time.

But now, on this grassland, he finds his own value and plays his part.

Wang Yang is not the only one who has been selected for a while, Barkley and Matthews have also got their favorite numbers.

Yi Fan thought about it, walked to the front of the stage, and picked up a No. 6 jersey. This is his lucky number. This number was chosen when I first bought a basketball jersey.

"I hope you can bring me good luck as always." Yi Fan said silently in his heart.

After each member of the new team had chosen their numbers, everyone took a group photo. In retrospect, this was the first group photo of Yifan and the new team.

The distinctive complexion and countenance of him and Wang Yang were recorded at this moment.

After the group photo, it was the Lions' second agenda - the team's thanksgiving meeting. The purpose is to thank the fans for their continued support. At the same time, we will strengthen the communication with student players, so that more students like and are willing to join the team.

It is said to be a thanksgiving meeting, but in fact, it is also a free exchange.

Yifan immediately found Mr. Fox and thanked him.

"Congratulations, lad. I made it to the big list in the first grade, and it was really amazing. Fox praised.

Although Yi Fan was a great conductor in the Ford Cup, Fox had his eyes on his future.

As a first-year student who has been in rugby for more than a year, it is not easy for a foreigner from China to reach such a position in a strong team like the Wolverine.

Fox is confident that with a little polishing, it will definitely become a new topic of conversation in the future.
