036 Call me when you hit him
Fourteen on seven bars!
After the referee blew the whistle at the end of the fourth quarter, the Toad Tun team lost to their opponent by seven points.
But there was no defeat in the dressing room, and during the shirt change, all the team members were enthusiastically discussing their heroic struggle, the bench players praised the tenacious struggle of those on the field, and the players recalled the highlights of themselves and their teammates.
The coaches were wise not to point fingers, but to let the players understand the team spirit themselves. Seeing that everyone had almost changed out of their protective gear, Howard, the captain who was standing, clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention.
"This is a defeat that is more glorious than victory!" He took a deep breath and said something that had been thought of for a while, "Yes, we fought from the beginning to the end, and from the first quarter we let the opponents know that we were not to mess with......"
After Howard complimented his teammates, he began to focus on the players who performed well today, the first being Beal, who repeatedly broke through the defense.
"Charging Texas Horns, I noticed the sign, and Bill deserved the compliment, he was a pocket attacker when we didn't have the ball, and he was a solid shield for me and the running guards when we had the ball."
"Nope! It's not just a shield, it's a valiant knight who leads the charge. ”
After saying that, Howard took the lead in applauding, and the whole locker room snapped.
To be honest, he didn't have a very good impression of Bill's new teammate before, inserting halfway, hitting people impulsively, and most importantly, stealing the attention of the three coaches, which made him feel very unhappy as the core of the team.
But there is a reason for all the favoritism, and Beal proved Coach Murphy's vision with his strength.
After just two official appearances together, Howard accepted the new teammate.
Bill stood up, first calmly accepted the recognition and applause of his teammates, and then the snapping sound was a little weaker, and then pressed his hands weakly, signaling his teammates to be quiet and listen to him.
"I'm a poor man, I was stopped by the principal when I wanted to go to school, and if it weren't for Murphy, Robert, Jaime and other good Samaritans, I probably wouldn't have been able to stand here, let alone meet your good teammates...... I'm part of the team, and the Toad Tun Varsity team will definitely become a legend in New York State in the future, and I have a share of credit in that, but more credit is yours and the whole team. ”
Rugby is a large ball game that focuses on teamwork, and one or a few people alone are far from winning the game, but the core players can greatly improve the team spirit.
The teammates applauded again, and even Roald and Ellison, who had engaged in friction last time, waved their arms vigorously.
After that, several teammates were also praised by Howard, but the applause they received was still a little worse than that of Beal, who played the whole game.
Mr. Ferrari, who plays both the offensive and defensive tackles, is on the pitch almost all the time, except for the minute or two off the tee.
The failed but laudable football game ended Bill's third week back at school to a less-than-perfect end, and if "The Big Man" had been willing to borrow money, Bill would have admitted that the third week was almost perfect.
After taking the bus back to school, he took the yellow-orange school bus to his neighborhood, but as soon as he walked into the house, he heard a noise coming from inside the house.
"I'm so! F***! See if I don't kill you today......"
Bill opened the door with the key, and saw ten "chicken feet" swaying up and down in the living room.
Uncle, aunt, Anthony, Dorothy, and little Neo all put their hands into chicken feet shapes, and their mouths were all noisy, and the strongest spittle output was the uncle and Anthony, father and son.
When she sees her brother returning, Dorothy waves her chicken feet less often, and is called over to explain what happened.
Bill pricked up his ears and listened to the girl's explanation for a while before he realized the nonsense of this farce.
Because Anthony's boss was going to the Bronx soon to make a lot of money, his close subordinates were immediately brought over.
Brooklyn is in the southeast of New York City, and the Bronx is in the northernmost part of New York City.
Although the uncle does not discipline his son very much, he firmly believes that his unmarried son is not qualified to move out and live independently, and the aunt also means this, and Dorothy follows the aunt and uncle.
And although little Neo usually doesn't have any ideas, this time he firmly stood on Anthony's side and supported his eldest cousin to move to a distant place.
It was originally a kind discussion, but the more I talked about it, the more excited I became, and it turned into a scolding battle.
The five of them were divided into two camps, and they began to spit on each other from six o'clock, and they quarreled until seven o'clock now.
When the uncle saw that Bill, the strongest man in the family, was back, he was even more confident, and threatened that his son would break his leg if he dared to move out. ”
Mr. Ferrari, who was asked, thought for a moment, "If it's a curse, I'll forget it." ”
"But if you're going to hit Anthony, be sure to call me!"
The uncle raised the two chicken claws above his head and shouted excitedly: "Do you see it? Boy, my family has my back. ”
Bill doesn't understand his uncle's brain circuits, and he guesses that his son may move away before he gets married, which will bring his uncle's reputation in the community ruined!
After all, immigrants of Italian origin value family ties, and a person who does not get along well with his family will be isolated en masse.
Anthony knew that his cousin wouldn't really beat him, but it was also going downhill, and the trash talk with his father gradually decreased.
It wasn't until the family was tired of scolding and his father unconsciously moved to the sofa for an intermission that Johnny the "Bone Crusher" walked to his cousin who was washing in the bathroom.
"Bill, my boss is going to meet you, you can go see him tonight, and all day tomorrow."
He brought the orders of his boss, Rennes Marino.
Anthony didn't know what his cousin was doing with his boss last week, but today he was choked by his old father, so he didn't have the heart to ask his cousin.
Bill, who was rubbing his shoulders, turned his head, smiled and nodded, "I know, I'll see him later." Are you going over there? ”
Seeing people is a play, and although Bill doesn't know how to solve the meal for this group tonight, he decides to wipe it off and leave.
Anthony shook his head, "I can't get out tonight, my mom is blocked at the back door all the time, and my dad is on the couch near the front door." Alas, why didn't my family support my career? Obviously I'm going to be promoted soon......"
He cursed and chattered and kept talking.
After the uncle heard his son muttering, he began to spit out again, although Anthony didn't want to expand the front, he couldn't help but be provoked repeatedly, so he was silent for a few minutes and then responded again.
After Bill changed his clothes, he found Dorothy, the girl standing in the kitchen, and took out three twenty dollars from his pocket, "I'll go out immediately, and when I'm gone, you will go out and buy something for everyone, try to buy something delicious, tonight the family is tired and needs food comfort." ”
If you can borrow money, you will have a bright future, and Bill is even generous with the money for his sister's meal.
After the command, he strode out the door and walked towards a bright future.
