Chapter 102: The Old and the New

Seeing that the old and new teams were about to fight against each other, Diana seemed a little worried, which gave people the feeling of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.

The fourth-graders have given so much to this team, and this is their last chance to make it to the National Championship.

At this juncture, hiding them in the snow is naturally a little unreasonable.

"I hope we can understand each other." Diana thought to herself.

On the day of the game, players from both sides arrived early in the field. The contest also attracted a large number of spectators to stop and watch the game.

Because the American football magazine is going to have a wild card column, this time it also asked the male editor and female reporter in the cap to come and witness which team will represent the school.

Although it is a wild card game, the level is also much higher than the regular season. Others can't ask for it, but the Wolverines have formed two teams to fight against each other, which is unique.

"Is this a deliberate attempt to mess up?" The female reporter asked. But she thought about it, and there was no benefit in messing up at this stage. Colleges and universities are not leagues, and if they don't have good grades, they won't have high-pick picks, and they will only lose more talent.

"Rotten? No, no, no, no. Their head coach, John, is awake and not stupid. They do this for one purpose. It's about preparing for the future. The male editor said.

"Preparing for the future?"

"Yes, he's probably trying to use the wild card team as a whetstone for the new team. This is too bold and extravagant. The male editor smiled helplessly.

The Wild Card Game is about a lot of things, and it may even be a feng shui for a school's strength, but Coach Johnson obviously doesn't care about that, and uses the wild card team to practice and prepare for the new season.

Once the plan is successful, and being able to play a few games in the Shura field, this new team's strength next season is definitely not comparable to other opponents, and it can even be said that half a foot has already stepped into the ranks of the national competition.

But the risk is not small, if a miserable round of tours, the team's morale will definitely be greatly damaged, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the new season.

As the game begins, players from both sides change their equipment and take to the grass.

Internal training matches are not uncommon, but this is the first time such a tense internal competition has been held.

"Little guys, let you taste the pain today, it's a problem with the coaching staff, don't blame us." Ennis said.

He was the former No.2 centre-back, and because of Leonard's excellent play, he rarely played for four years.

Now that he is finally able to prove himself and enrich his resume, he will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.

So when he first heard the news of the Wild Card Game, he immediately took the lead in revolting, and he was the one who made the most trouble.

"Ennis, do you have to make such a fuss to be satisfied?" Leonard was a little overwhelmed. When he first entered the school, this senior brother also gave himself some allocation, but he didn't expect to meet each other today.

It's not just Leonard who feels this way, but the players on the new team will feel it this way to some extent.

After all, the opponent he faced was the person he admired and relied on the most.

"Both sides prepare!"

The referee walked into the grass field and announced the start of the game with a long whistle.

Whether you want to or not, no matter what kind of mood you have, the game will push people forward.

Ashley kicked the ball out of the air, and it landed into the arms of No. 2 running back Nance dozens of yards away.

Nance got down on one knee with respect, and the new team attacked first.

The starters of the new team are basically third-graders, and there are a few original second-year players such as Pfister and Dean, and there is no first-year student.

After all, in the training camp, the grades of first-year students are not half a point.

Brett wrote the word "calm" on the palm of his hand to calm himself down.

Now, he's the team's starting quarterback.

He's going to organize the team's offense.

He needs to take on the burden of attacking.

In the past, this was something he had never dared to think.

But now, this banner has fallen on his shoulders.

"Get on the field! Guys! ”

Offense in first gear, twenty-five yards on this side.

After receiving the kick-off, Brett immediately turned and handed the ball to Marbury, who was rushing to the left touchline.

He was ready to break through with third-year near end Favors covering on the strong side.

Unexpectedly, before he could accelerate, he was grabbed by the former lineback Thomas and dragged directly to the ground.

Whether it's Thomas, or Michael, or Vic, these people have played with Marbury for three years, and their characteristics are all too clear about him.

They knew that Aaron Marbury was fast after the start, but they also knew that he didn't have any particularly strong dodge ability before the start.

So as long as you stop Marbury before he sprints, there is no deterrent.

The other party knows his own routine, and Brett knows this too. But at the moment, he doesn't plan to think of any strange ideas.

Instead, choose to play steadily and slowly adjust the state of the team.

Two gears of eleven yards.

"Attack!"

Pfister immediately rushed up the right touchline, and he was opposite former corner-back Reiner.

Seeing this, the security guard Malcolm immediately stepped forward to help, but was stopped by Favors.

After forming one-on-one, Pfister, as the top attack point of the new team, will naturally not be in vain.

In the face of Brett's somewhat drifting pass, Pfister pressed Malcolm with his back and jumped high and carried the ball into his arms.

Pfister's strength Ennis also knows that their defensive second line can't stop him. The only way is for the two of them to come forward together to help defend themselves.

"I didn't expect this hairy guy to be so sharp. Some of them felt the mood of the senior brothers last year. Michael said to Vic with a smile. His eyes were full of nostalgia.

Vic nodded, "yes, it's only been a year, and he already looks like Louis." When I think about it, at this time last year, there were two guys like Pfister, and I really feel sorry for the seniors who graduated. ”

After getting a new first attack, Brett made a look of playing Pfister, and after getting the ball, he kept an eye on Pfister's movements.

Ennis wasn't so stupid either, and he immediately stopped Favors, allowing security guard Malcolm and cornerback Reiner to complete the flanking attack on Pfister.

While Pfister's ability to receive the ball is unquestionable, Brett's passing ability is up for debate. In the face of the two people's marking, they dare not shoot at will without absolute certainty.

So Brett adjusted his wrist and shorted the ball to Favors, who was running back.

Favors received a pass down the middle, turned his back and flicked past Ennis, striking three or four yards forward before being pressed.

Two gears and three yards, forty-seven yards on this side.

Brett seized on the opponent's weak defensive second line, first ran out of his pocket, tore the game apart, and then let Nance and Marbury cover each other, play a cover pass, get a four-yard advance, and at the same time win a new first attack, push the offense into the opponent's half.
