041 Pig arch tactics
On October 12th, it was almost late autumn, and the whole of Brooklyn became bleak, with yellow leaves, a cold autumn breeze, and most of the passers-by on the streets in the evening were in a hurry to get back to their warm homes.
At the standard football stadium in South Brooklyn, the atmosphere was very different from the outside, with more than 20,000 people watching the two high school teams playing, and a considerable number of people shouting and cheering hoarsely, whether the players they supported or not, just let their voices be hoarse anyway.
And when the game is exciting, professional cheerleaders and fans often organize uniform slogans and actions in order to show their team's prestige or discourage the opponent's arrogance.
It's still the regular season, and it's not a tournament full of gold at the end. In the football high school league in New York State, it is very rare to see such a lively situation.
There are many reasons for this, but the main one is that the two teams we are playing against today are the teams that have shown more strength in the entire Brooklyn this season.
The Fort Hamilton varsity team, which has been on the rise in the last three or four games, has made it possible for the mid-ranked team in New York City to reach the playoffs thanks to the coach's aggressive change of tactics and the cooperation between the team members.
What is commendable is that the team actually maintains the same matchup strategy as the NFL professional league, using heavy players to be placed on the front line in exchange for the quarterback's reaction time, thereby ensuring the time and space for tactical execution, which is relatively rare in high school varsity teams, and therefore greatly increases the spectacle.
Because the high school varsity team is not playing professionally, many coaches do not have a strong sense of the changes in the rules of the game, and they often learn to imitate a certain tactic after the NFL becomes popular on a large scale, which makes the Fort Hamilton varsity team eat the version of the benefit after adjusting the tactics, and won 13-0 and 14-7 in the two games last Friday and last Friday respectively.
In the middle of the game, it was already the middle of the third quarter of the game, and the score of the Toad Tun varsity team and the opponent, Williamham Bing High School, remained at seven bars and seven.
The Williamham Bachelors Varsity is a veteran powerhouse in New York City, and basically enters the playoffs every season, so they have a lot of die-hard fans, more than half of the audience who came today are for this strong team, and most of the remaining small ones are die-hard fans of the Toad Tun Varsity Team and the new fans attracted this season.
"Sports car, GO!"
After the Toad Tun varsity running back held the ball, the new little star player Bill pushed down the corner back and lineback, and then the two charged towards the end area together, at this critical moment, the Toad Tun varsity fans immediately boiled and began to shout and cheer.
"Sports Car" is exactly what Bill's new nickname is.
Of course, the lineback is the second line of defense of the defensive group, and there are security guards in the back, and the coach of the Williamham Bachelor team is not a vegetarian, and he has specially collected the opponent's game information before the game, and after the first quarter of the game has been tentatively explored, the two safety guards are directly replaced with strong guards with large weight, and they are arranged on the strong side of the opponent.
So after breaking through the second line of defense, Bill and running back Richard Kelly had to face two tanks of 1.9 meters and at least 200 pounds.
As a running back whose duties are biased towards flanker, Richard, who is 1.82 meters and 170 pounds, has the main ability to run quickly with the ball and receive passes from the air, both of which make up for Bill's shortcomings, but also lose the possibility of breaking through the strong defense with a single knife.
In front of the safety guards who practice tackles and intercepts professionally, Richard's size collapses at the slightest touch.
Because of this, Richard almost follows Bill, and he can follow wherever this close-end can rush. Although it sounds simple, each execution often exceeds the number of yards that should be obtained for each attack.
Not so lucky this time.
The two strong guards were almost as fast as Bill, so they came straight at the two men who broke through the front line fifteen yards from fifteen yards back, one to the left and one to the right, vowing to keep Bill and running back Richard in the range between five and ten yards of the lineback.
Over the past few weeks, according to the tactics adjusted by Murphy and Robert, Bill has been training to run at top speed, and is not good at suddenly stopping and changing direction while running at full speed, and Richard does not dare to stay away from Bill, because the ball is in his hands, and the two strong guards will definitely come at him.
The four of them only had time to figure out their choice before they ran into each other, the smallest Richard had no capital to collide, and was suddenly grabbed by the strong guard on the edge and fell to the ground, Bill roared angrily, and pressed the intercepted strong guard to the ground, and the enemy strong guard on the inside saw that he had completed the grappling, so he rolled past the three people who were entangled, indicating that the attack had been cut off, and his movements were crisp and neat, which can be called a model of interception.
But Beal doesn't think so, the current situation is that his own running back with the ball falls to the ground, and the enemy strong guard is also pressed to the ground by himself, according to the standard of each offensive stop, the interceptor has to stand up before it is technically considered to be an offensive stop.
So at this moment, the offense should not be stopped.
A few weeks ago, when he was familiarizing himself with the rules of the game, he asked Robert, the assistant for tactics, that in such a situation he could push the two men forward and arch them ten yards away from the offensive line like a pig's cabbage.
The reason why it's ten yards, rather than the yardage that needs to be advanced in this [fourth-gear offense], is a bit complicated, and according to Robert and Coach Murphy, it only takes ten yards to make up for the misconduct of finding loopholes in the rules.
Otherwise, the referee would likely have ruled that the pig's attack was valid, but he was penalized for being too violent and dropped five yards.
So under the gaze of more than 20,000 people, in the surprise of the already relaxed enemy defensive team, Bill ploughed the ground with his legs and pushed the two players and the ball in their arms ten yards behind the offensive line, and in the process, he also had to exert his arms to make the enemy intercept the strong guard unable to stand up.
The coach of the Williamham Bachelor team looked at the situation on the field, and did not react at first, and then suddenly remembered that the referee did not blow the whistle, so after secretly scolding his players for being stupid, he began to shout angrily: "Stop him, everyone runs over there, stop him, the attack has not stopped." ”
He looked at the three people who had advanced at least seven yards, rubbed his face helplessly, and ran to the referee on the sideline with the assistant coach next to him, hoping that the referee would make a fair decision.
In the rest area on the side of the Toad Tun varsity team, Coach Murphy, Robert, Jaime and the other three were very calm, and they were holding their arms and looking at Bill, who was advancing with the ball.
"This kid is very good at exploiting loopholes in the rules, actually, he's a lot smarter than I thought."
