Friday, October 19.

This was the last quarter of the game, Toad Tun temporarily led the opponent by one point, and the game ended with three minutes left, the ball was in the hands of the opponent, and it looked like Toad Tun had the possibility of losing.

At 38 yards from his own half, a new first attack began, with No. 88 Beal pushing down the smaller right defender after the enemy center served, and then began to play with two pocket players.

The offensive group must have seven people lined up in the offensive and defensive lines, so there must be people in the five positions of the center forward, the left and right guards, and the left and right tackles.

These five Donkey Kong do not have the legal right to receive the ball, cannot get the ball from the quarterback, and cannot catch the pass from the quarterback, so they are dedicated to protecting the quarterback. After each offense, the left and right volleys step back slightly to form a semi-circular pocket that protects the quarterback, hence the name pocket player.

As the defensive left tackle, Bill faced the enemy center and right tackle, which are also the traditional two tanks, and both opponents were visually over 200 pounds.

Because the defensive group does not need to line up seven men on the offensive line, on his side, Coach Murphy actively moved closer to the professional league, replacing the previous four-three defense with a three-four defense.

In other words, the defensive group of the Toad Tun varsity team only has left and right tackles, right end forwards, and two corner guards away from the front line on the offensive and defensive lines.

As a result, Beal often has to take down an opposing player and then take on two players around him. When you're unlucky, the one you put down before will stand up and pick up Bill.

Outside the venue, a reporter from an unknown TV station instructed the cameraman to point the camera at Bill, "Hurry up, shoot No. 88, that person has a lot of attention." ”

This is a CBS-owned television station that collects highlights from NFHS and NCAAF games in New York State, and fills them with programs according to demand and attention. There is a certain probability that the footage they shot will be selected into the two programs "Evening Report" and "Sixty Minutes".

Both of these programs are CBS's most combative TV programs, and the weekly "60 Minutes" has been one of the top 10 most-watched TV programs in the United States for many years in the late 70s and early 80s.

Although Beal had amazing power in an instant, he still couldn't fight two strong opponents, and his endurance was not too strong, and after a short period of maintaining the balance of power with the enemy's center and right interceptor in the offensive and defensive lines, he was pushed back slowly.

But that's enough, the most important thing in news is ratings, and ratings depend on eye-catching news, and gimmicks are the first thing journalists think.

In the mouth of the reporter on the sidelines, the No. 88 player, who was previously known for pushing two downed players to get ten yards of advancement and the next [first attack], once again showed amazing talent, as a defensive group he took down a defender in a short period of time, and then tied with the enemy center and right tackle.

"Will anyone question the authenticity?" The cameraman who photographed No. 88 being pushed through the offensive line was uneasy and asked questions.

The unscrupulous reporter glared at his companion, "Your tape is real enough, and with the credit endorsement of our CBS, this news is real." ”

He doesn't care what the second half of the section is, the news that can attract the audience is the real news, and the boring news is fake news.

……

In the center of the field, although Bill couldn't do two strong players, they couldn't pull away, which allowed them to have one more interceptor in the second line, which greatly enhanced the interception strength of the second line.

This is the charm of American football, one person or a few people can't decide the whole game, only the whole team can win the victory, everyone accumulates a little advantage in their own position, and the whole team adds up to the possibility of winning.

The tactics of the Toad Tun Varsity defensive team were still relatively advanced, and the enemy only maintained two or three ten-yard advances before losing possession. In the final minute of the game, the Toad Tun varsity team who got the ball couldn't make a nearly 60-yard advance, and the second touchdown was impossible, but the offensive team still fought until the last minute, until the referee's whistle blew.

Seven bar six!

The Toad Tun varsity team won again.

In the locker room, the excited captain Howard began to give a speech without even changing his jersey, "Winning four games in a row, we swept away the gloom after that game......"

Like the professional ball games and the NCAAF league in college, the high school varsity team also controls the regular season to sixteen games per season, and has played seven games, and the Toad Tun varsity team has five wins and two losses.

In these seven games, the first game was crushed by zero bar seven, the second game was seven bar six small wins, the third game seven bar 14 lost miserably, the fourth game 13 bar zero big win, the fifth game 14 bar seven wins, the sixth game 14 bar seven small wins, today's seven bar six miserable win.

This winning rate is already the best result since the Toad Tun school team participated in the rugby game, and the net score is even more gratifying, reaching 15 points.

“…… According to the results of the teams that have reached the playoffs in the past, as long as we maintain the number of wins from ten to twelve, there is a high probability that we will enter the playoffs, that is, as long as we get five wins in the next nine games, we are very likely to enter the tournament, and if we can win seven of the nine games, then we will definitely be able to ......."

In fact, you don't have to win 12 games to such a powerful extent, winning 11 games and losing 5 games are very stable, and winning 10 games and drawing one or two games also have a good chance of entering the playoffs with a high net difference.

Howard, a quarterback who played for a season and a half, suddenly felt that his high school career was almost complete, and as long as he was invited to the tournament this season, his college application would be stable, at least most of the colleges in New York State would be able to attend.

Coach Murphy made a rare statement on such an occasion, "Boys, you've exceeded expectations this season, the whole team has done an excellent job of tearing up the front line, intercepting tackles, attacking and defending battles, and occasionally making big yards on long-range forward passes......

He also summarized the entire team members and encouraged everyone to maintain the momentum and fully play their true strength in the future games.

In the process, Coach Murphy's eyes made contact with Bill many times, which embarrassed Bill, whose mental age was much older than his appearance.

After the two gave speeches, quarterback Howard knew that the coach appreciated "Mr. Sports Car", so he took the initiative to shout: "Since Bill is the hardest of us, basically playing the whole game, and playing extremely well in the position, let's let him say a few words to encourage his teammates." ”

Placing his helmet on a leather stool beside him, Bill stood up, and began to praise others and himself, following Howard's speaking habits:

"Brothers, we are the best ......"
