Chapter Eighty-Three: Armin
"Sorry, our equipment salesman needs to demonstrate the product to the customer, your legs...... We don't think we're up to the task. ”
"We can understand your enthusiasm, but your legs don't look very convenient, and the staff often have to double as a caddie or even a sparring partner, so I'm sorry that we can't hire you."
"The commentators we recruit all need to have played in the league, at least to achieve a certain level of results in college. On your terms, it doesn't meet our standards. ”
……
Walking down the lonely streets, Armin says it doesn't snow in Miami, but the heart does.
The TV screen in the store showed the live broadcast of the NFL league, and the shelves were selling all kinds of jerseys and equipment, which were once his favorites and longing for them. But all this seems to have nothing to do with him now.
The continuous failure of the application made him feel the cruelty and truth of society. It's useless to have dreams and passion.
Now, in the eyes of others, he is nothing more than a college graduate with a foot disease and no strengths. Even if he is the most ordinary salesman, there is no store that wants him.
"If no one wants it anymore, just go to the beach and sell ice cream."
There are many beaches in Miami, and as long as you are willing to do some chores, you won't have to worry about running a business.
In Almin's opinion, it is impossible to find a job related to rugby.
Even if you have lost your dreams, you still have to live.
"If it weren't for that person, who insisted on replacing me with a running back, I would definitely not have fallen to the point I am today."
Each time he failed to apply, his resentment towards Robert deepened.
Just as he was about to give up, a job advertisement came into his sight.
"Big Star Chain Training Institution?" Although it is a training center for flag football, it is also quite famous in the local area. After all, here, any beach or grass field can be used to play flag football.
I was thinking about giving it a try, but I didn't expect to pass the assessment in the end. After entering the big star, Armin cherished this hard-won opportunity very much, and worked harder and harder than anyone else.
In order to thank the institution, but also to prove yourself.
Eventually, he became a trainer in Detroit after he opened his office in Detroit.
He could never have imagined that he would meet Robert here.
"This coward, he didn't dare to show his face, and let a third-rate student who didn't know where to find him lead the team. Since you're so afraid of me, I'm going to make you regret it! ”
Armin's heart burned with rage, since you ruined everything about me, I will also destroy everything you have worked so hard to build.
The quarterfinals are about to start, and they can stand out from more than 100 teams after layers of screening and come to this stage. Every team is not to be underestimated.
I saw that on the VIP stage, Mr. Fox, the organizer of this event, held the list of the quarterfinals in his hand, quietly looking down on everything on the field.
"That guy Yamada is really capable, it seems that half of the top four will be their people." Fawkes shook his head, his eyes twinkling as if he was expecting something.
He turned to his secretary and said, "Go and find out where this Robert team comes from?" Looking at their guidance, it seems to be an Asian young man. ”
At this time, on the field, the referee has already come to the stage to toss a coin to decide which team will attack first.
At this stage, there were some minor rule changes, such as two 30-second timeouts in each half, and an extension of the halftime break from three to five minutes.
"Nice! I'm not going to show mercy later! ”
Before the game, Nick deliberately ran over and said. Ness looked at his stiff right hand and smiled sadly.
Even so, he responded: "Don't worry! I'm not going to throw in the towel! You can look forward to it! ”
As the referee's whistle blew, the quarterfinals of the Ford Cup officially began.
The five physiques of the Big Star Team all look similar, and they are all all-rounders who can run, pass and receive.
Because the concept of the big star training camp is to develop in an all-round way, and it is one point outstanding. Therefore, passing and running is the minimum requirement for each student.
Including wide receiver Knick, any one of the five people on the court has no less individual ability than Connor.
“WE ARE STAR!”
“GO!”
It's game on! The big stars strike first!
The opposing quarterback and running guard first opened up the distance between several players through quick lateral passes. Then a long lob caught off guard and passed the ball to Nick near the halfway line.
It was Nice who was keeping an eye on Nick, and his ability was already a little inferior to Nick, and with an injury to his right hand, he basically didn't play a distracting role.
Nick took the opportunity to easily receive the pass and get a new four attacks with just one attack.
"Is it not enough to warm up? Feel like you're getting scared? "Nick felt that something was wrong. Even in the previous practice matches, Nice's defense should have been tougher.
"It's cold! I'll give you a good look later! Ness replied with a smile.
“GO!”
In the new round of offense, the opposing quarterback chose to pass the ball to Nick as soon as he came up, and this kind of one-on-one tactics is one of their characteristics. Through singles, observe and understand the level of the opponent's players and take the opportunity to find the opponent's weaknesses.
Nice tried his best to get in place this time, but his hands were not very convenient, and as soon as he loosened his body in the aerial scrum, he was immediately pushed aside by Nick.
Boom!
Nick landed on both feet and began to sprint forward. Nice missed their best chance to draw the flag and had to chase it from behind.
At this time, he felt the gap between the two during this time.
Although Nick complains that training is monotonous and boring, like a robot, before he knows it, his foundation has become more and more solid, and his control and grasp of his body has improved to a new level.
Whether it is a lateral change of direction or a straight line of speed, it is almost handy. Ness thought he could tear off the opponent's flag several times, but when his palm approached, the flag ducked away again.
Nick's dash was nearly thirty yards away and pushed the offense straight to the front of the end zone. If it weren't for Connor's late late defense, I'm afraid he would have lost points.
"Hmph, is it at this level? It's also so disappointing. Seeing Nice knocked to the side three times and twice, Armin couldn't help but sneer on the sidelines.
He is confident that under his devil's training, several players on the field are absolutely worthy of anyone in terms of physical fitness.
Compared to Armin's ease, Yi Fan's face was much more grim. He didn't expect Nick alone to be so powerful.
After Kelly and Nice returned from the big stars that day, Yifan thought that Nick was already in a mood and didn't pose much of a threat. Now it seems that he was too naïve.
After all, a true lifer, no matter how much he complains, once he picks up the ball, he will immediately unconsciously ignite the blood in his body under the influence of his charm.
