The Michigan State University Spartans, currently with a seven-two record in the regular season, are tied for third place with the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Big Ten League, behind Pennsylvania State and the University of Wisconsin.

And the Wolverines and Spartans have always been old rivals, and as a derby in the same district, there have been many duels. In the past, the strength of the University of Michigan occupied the top points, and the weakest was also five or five, but judging from the current record, the two sides are no longer on the same level.

"Anyone can play in this tournament, so hopefully every one of you will be ready." Johnson said meaningfully. These days, the main lineup is none other than Rodgers and Michael. Michael, a fourth-grader and a former regular player, doesn't need Johnson to worry about. So, this sentence is clearly for Rogers, a first-year student.

After Yifan heard the news, he didn't feel happy at all. Fellow first-year quarterback Rodgers is ready to step onto the court for the team, but he is still running here, and he may not even have the slightest chance to play.

During this time, he has been following the instructions given to him by Louis to build his muscles after training, but he has not felt much change.

"Phew, it's really unlucky to meet a teacher like him! If I had had Pfister to guide me, I might have been the one who was on the field right now. Yi Fan looked unconvinced.

Just then, Matthews walked over. After the confrontation, there was a bond between the two of them, and they practiced and cooperated together when they were free.

"Do you want to train together? All right! It just so happens that I can't find someone to work with! Seeing Matthews, Yi Fan was like being beaten with chicken blood.

Matthews was still so shy, he scratched his face and responded, "No, it's not, are you going to watch it in the regular season?" and Spartans. You haven't even watched the previous games. ”

Hearing that he was going to invite himself to watch the battle, Yi Fan looked a little displeased. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to see other quarterbacks standing on that field, and he could only act as a bystander, that kind of unwillingness, that kind of frustration, it was really uncomfortable.

Seeing Yi Fan's expression, Matthews said preparedly: "The Spartans are our mortal enemies, and they may be met often in the future." Isn't there a proverb in your Chinese dialect that "know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles"? Locking yourself in the training ground, you can't get to know your opponents, let alone your teammates. In the future, you will have to fight with them. ”

After listening to Matthews's explanation, Yi Fan felt that it made sense. It's been more than two months since he came here, and he doesn't know a lot of things except for daily training and competitions, and it won't do him any better if he continues to be so complacent.

"Good! I'll check it out when the time comes! ”

Just when Yifan made up his mind, the coaching staff also made up his mind.

"Against the Spartans, are you really going to put Rogers on the field?" Diana asked. Not to mention the top ten leagues, even if you look at the Great East League, the Pacific 12 League and other divisions, it is extremely rare to let a little-known first-year student play as a quarterback.

Faced with the suspicions of Diana and the assistant coach, Johnson responded without hesitation: "A must! If we have such a weapon in our hands, why not use it? Daniel, neither in form nor in physical strength, has not returned to the level it should be. If we continue to fight like this, our morale will plummet. ”

It is said that offense is the best defense, and defense is the best offense. Especially in rugby, the interplay between attack and defense is more obvious. Relying only on the strong defense of the defensive group, and the offensive group does not improve, will make the defenders lose confidence, and then affect the state of the defense, which is also fatal to the team as a whole.

It's only a six-hour drive from the University of Michigan to Michigan State, which is a lot of time for the Wolverines players. Kelly was particularly excited when she saw Yi Fan's figure in the car. All along, he was left alone in the school, but he didn't expect to appear this time.

"Come on! Grab a bite to eat! Kelly happily handed over a packet of potato chips.

"Next game! I've got to make an appearance! Yi Fan said angrily while eating.

Seeing his angry appearance, Kelly couldn't help but laugh: "Since you are so motivated, I believe that as long as you continue to persevere according to the instructions of Louis's seniors, it will be fine!" ”

"Louis! How is him again! Every time he mentions this person, Yifan is on fire. I don't usually participate in training, and many times I leave early, and I put on a self-righteous look, which is annoying to watch. Although I heard that it was very powerful before, but now it is nothing more than a substitute, how strong can it be.

Kelly originally wanted to find out something about Louis and wanted to tell Yifan, but seeing that he was not interested at all, she held back the conversation.

The Spartans are a team of green and white, so the home stadium is filled with fans in green and white jerseys early, as if it is a savannah. Coupled with the rugged battle song, the momentum has completely taken the lead.

“READY! ATTACK！ ”

The battle between the two sides has begun!

As soon as the Spartans came up, they used their rough and brutal attacks to constantly attack the Wolverine's defenses, and their offense was like their name, with a strong Spartan style. The Wolverine's defense is known for its meticulous deployment and clever arrangement with Leonard's intelligence, but it is a little unbearable for the Upper Spartans, who are exceptionally strong physique, to hit the duel head-on.

"Rush! Warriors! Let's rush forward! ”

Under the frenzied onslaught of the Spartans, the defensive pressure of the Wolverines increased sharply, and the situation was gradually brought under control. Although he didn't let the opponent go to a touchdown, he was scored nine points by kicking the ball.

On the other side, the Wolverine's offense didn't go well. Daniel had two long balls successful, but nothing could be achieved after that, and the most he could do was to push the attack to 40 yards out of the opposition half.

At half-time, the two sides were tied at 9-0, and the Spartans took the lead. And with home field advantage, they are playing more and more aggressively, and if the Wolverines continue to maintain this inconsistent attacking style, their morale will only be further shattered.

"Pause! Substitution! Replace the quarterback! ”

Shortly after the start of the second half, Johnson gave the order for a substitution.

Daniel was full of reluctance and walked back to the sideline with his head down. Running past him was a young figure.

"Isn't it! The Wolverines put on a first-grader? ”

"Gave up on this year's race? Unbelievable! ”

Seeing the replacement of the Wolverines team, the audience was in an uproar.

"It's really a pity to see an old opponent come to this situation." The Spartan coach also shook his head regretfully.

In everyone's attention, first-year student Rogers appeared in an official competition for the first time.
