American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection

Chapter 229 Spring Invitational Tournament (continued)

"Go go go..."

"Keep an eye on the big guy...don't be afraid of collision..."

After the timeout, the head coach of Shengyu High School wandered outside the sideline and loudly reminded his players to pay attention to defense.

After half a year of growth, Sam's height has grown a few centimeters, and his body seems to be a bit stronger.

It can be seen that this kid does have some talent for playing rugby.

But as the game continued, he was about to attack with the ball when he was suddenly surrounded by many players from Shengyu High School in front of the midfield.

In this case, it was very difficult for Sam, who was unable to defeat the four-handed man with his two fists, to advance.

Then, under the crazy interference from the opponent's defensive tackle and cornerback, he almost missed the ball and fell to the ground holding the football in order to protect the ball.

Beep——

The offensive end was blocked and Melford lost an offensive opportunity.

In a football game, the offensive team has four opportunities to organize an offense without conceding the ball, which is called a fourth-gear offense.

And when a team is intercepted four times in a row on the offensive end and the football advances less than ten yards, it needs to hand over the ball and become the defensive side.

At this time, the Melford football team only lost an offensive opportunity, and the situation was not that bad.

"Is it okay, Sam~"

Captain Aaron, who was in the middle position, came to the right half and pulled Sam up.

Seeing the opponent's slightly embarrassed look, he continued: "It seems that you are being watched by them. If you have a chance, pass the ball to me..."

The opponent's intention was very obvious. As the team's quarterback, Captain Aaron also guessed the opponent's thoughts.

On the court, there are no guaranteed winning tactics.

Saint Education High School puts its defensive focus on Sam, and naturally its defense against other members of the Melford team will decrease.

Captain Aaron also took this into consideration and thought of leading his team to open up the situation while Sam was attracting the opponent's defensive power.

You know, football is never a one-man game.

"Understood~" Sam replied angrily after glaring at the opponent who had just intercepted him.

With a simple mind and well-developed limbs, he also knew that he was not suitable for considering overly complicated tactics, so he immediately agreed to the captain's arrangement.

As for what he was thinking, I'm afraid only he himself knows.

"Come on~" Captain Aaron encouraged Sam again and then returned to his original position on the center line.

The game started again, with Sam holding the ball and conducting a second-gear attack.

"Go up and stop him... don't let him have a chance to pass the ball..."

The head coach of Shengyu High School on the sidelines reminded the players loudly again.

Obviously, the head coach also saw through Captain Aaron's intentions in a very short period of time.

Immediately, with Shengyu High School strengthening its defense again, all of Sam's passing routes were blocked.

And Sam, who was squeezed in the middle and couldn't break through and had no chance to shoot the ball, saw that the ten-second timeout was coming, and his mood became irritable.

Finally, when the illegal stoppage time came, he held the football and slammed into the opponent in front of him.

He took the initiative to adopt a lose-lose style of play.

The sudden fierce confrontation on the field also caused bursts of exclamation and cheers from the audience outside the field.

In this confrontation, although Sam fell, he also used his strong body to knock over the opponent's two defensive tackles.

Judging from the scene alone, the Melford football team did not lose in terms of momentum.

This is why the audience outside the stadium cheered.

It's just that people who really know football can tell that things are not going well for the Melford team if they pay a little attention.

Two consecutive blocks on the offensive end obviously disrupted the Melford team's offensive rhythm.

"Little George and the others need to change their tactics, otherwise they are likely to lose..." Peggy, who accompanied Mike to watch the game on the sidelines, expressed her opinion.

Although Peggy doesn't pay much attention to football games, her smart brain still allows her to easily analyze the situation on the field.

The Melford players are obviously better in terms of personal strength. It's just that when the team lacks the ability to adapt on the spot, the players look like a mess.

Compared to Shengyu High School, which is slightly inferior in overall strength but has gradually become a unified force, the Melford football team does not actually have an advantage.

Now, if we want to break this predicament, the test is the head coach's adaptability.

Mike turned his head and glanced again. Coach Wayne, who was lowering his head in the team's dugout area and didn't know what he was thinking, shook his head speechlessly.

If the Melford team really loses in this invitational tournament, then the head coach of the inactive team will definitely bear a large part of the responsibility.

On the field, Captain Aaron once again pulled up the fallen Sam, patted the opponent's arm and said a few words of encouragement, and the game started again.

Next, during the Melford team's third attack, Sam finally managed to throw the football out of the high post area.

Captain Aaron, who successfully got the ball, lived up to his great trust, and then broke through the double defense line of the opponent's linebacker and guerrilla guard, and rushed to the opponent's end zone.

Melford again scored 6 points.

14 to 3,

The big lead also made the Melford students who supported their school team off the court agitated.

But in the cheers, a few people have noticed that the Melford football team's offensive style is very unreasonable.

They seem to put all the pressure on the victory or defeat on the team's dual core.

This situation is very dangerous. After all, people's status always has ups and downs.

The way the Melford team scored just now was more like taking advantage of the opponent's carelessness to score a sneak attack, and there was a certain amount of chance.

"Don't worry, kids..."

When Shengyu High School lost another six points, their head coach didn't look frustrated.

Along the sideline, the head coach was still reminding the players loudly: "The linebackers and strongbacks decide their own positions. I need you to keep an eye on the opponent's quarterback..."

After a series of observations, the head coach of Shengyu High School also clarified his own defensive strategy based on the dual-core tactics of the Melford team.

It is to divide the defensive focus of your team into two parts. The first line of defense is composed of defensive tackles, with the purpose of intercepting Sam near the midfield.

The second line of defense is composed of linebackers, strongbacks and guerrilla guards, with the purpose of forcing the opponent's quarterback to stop in the backfield.

Then, in rounds of offensive and defensive battles, the players of Shengyu High School gradually became familiar with the strategies of their head coach.

Before the end of the second quarter, the players of Shengyu High School also used their tenacious execution to successfully limit the dual core of the Melford team.

At halftime, although the Melford team still led the score, more spectators could tell that their situation was not good.

The flameout of the dual-core combat power has made the Melford team tend to be suppressed in terms of overall situation and momentum.

To change this unfavorable situation, the Melford team needs to quickly find new tactics that are more suitable for dealing with this bad situation.

It’s just that Coach Wien, whom the Melford team can rely on, is still in a state of wandering and cannot provide any help to the team at all.

Therefore, in the Melford team's rest area during the halftime break, all the players without the help of the coach looked a little confused in the face of the current unfavorable situation.

In the second quarter of the game, Captain Aaron, who also received special attention, was wiping the sweat from his forehead due to excessive physical exertion.

The look on his face was both tired and confused.

At the same time, in the rest area of ​​Shengyu High School on the other side, the head coach was emphasizing tactics to the players.

Compared with the disadvantageous start at the beginning, the members of Shengyu High School, who had hope of winning, looked very excited at this time.
