Chapter 5 Status Transcendence In the blink of an eye, it was already night, and several gold halide lamps were lit up around the rugby green field, commonly known as the barbecue grill, and the field was brightly lit."
Go back and take a shower and lie in bed for a good rest, and that intensity will continue until the penultimate round against Hawthorne High School."
Coach Thomas high-fived each teammate one by one."
Refuse to date, refuse to have dinner, refuse to drag race, I don't care how rich you guys' nightlife is, give me a point before the game, and when you rush to the playoffs, I will give you a few days off."
Thomas cautioned."
Then you'll have to put a tracker under my car."
A member of the team quipped."
It's better to have another vibration sensor.""
And then it prompted me to go over the speed bump a few times tonight."
The coach responded with a smile.The crowd laughed.When he is strict, he will scold the team members and can't hold their heads up, but when he is in a good mood, he will also mingle with the players.Thomas turned his head and saw a figure walking out with the crowd."
No, no, no, everyone can leave, but you can't.Ethan O'Connor. ”Thomas shook his head immediately, and then he turned to look at the quarterback.Adam, who was not far away, stuck out his tongue, only hating himself for not slipping away sooner.Sure enough, Adam was called over by the coach, and the two exchanged words in a low voice.Then the coach turned to leave, and Rice gave Ethan a special look as he left."
Did the two of us meet yesterday's ball?"
Rice, who had pimples on her face, hesitated and said.No, haven't seen it.Ethan, of course, recognized him, and Rice was his last customer last night."
That's what girls often say."
Ethan responded with a smile.Rice shook her head and walked away with her helmet.At this time, only Ethan and Adam were left on the field."
The coach asked me to train you to catch the ball, and he wanted you to replace Pierce and become a substitute wide receiver."
Adam said, kicking several training balls together.The wide receiver is the main scorer in the offensive group, similar to the forward in soccer, who is cut straight into the opponent's hinterland after the center kicks off and before the quarterback passes the ball.For wide receivers, catching the ball, getting rid of defenses, and speed are three crucial abilities."
I thought I was going to practice the quarterback's passing."
Ethan Road.Ethan spent an afternoon observing, and naturally discovered something special about quarterbacks.Unlike all other ball games, every offense in football is initiated by the quarterback, and the quarterback is up to decide what tactics to use, who to pass to, whether to short or long, whether to take the first attack or a free kick.The quarterback directly controls the pace of the game and represents the upper limit of the team's offensive intensity.According to the exaggeration, the quarterback is not so much an athlete as a quarterback is a high-intensity chess player who needs to use his teammates as pawns.Not only to throw accurately, but also to resist collisions, but also to see the six ways, and to improvise to find out the gap of the other party, but also to have experience, but also to keep the brain running at high speed, and finally and most importantly, you need to have an abnormal anti-pressure heart.The prerequisite for all this is to have a strong physique.Even that man would have been criticized for his slow movement for running more than five seconds in a 40-yard sprint.It can be said that the hexagonal warrior who exists in the reality of the quarterback is also the core of the entire team.In BHHS, the name of Adam Newman is also familiar to many people, he is humble and polite.So even if the appearance is not very outstanding, it is also reassuring that a group of rich daughters have been gathered in the school.These girls like to refer to Adam as "cuteboy".However, Adam has always been alone, he has never had a girlfriend, some say he is a devout Catholic, only love for the purpose of marriage, some say he has a good girlfriend outside of school, and others say that he doesn't like women at all.lt; divcss=ot; ntentadvot; gt; As for why a football quarterback gets so much attention, it has to be mentioned that the special status of "athletes" on American campuses has to be mentioned.The United States is a nation of immigrants that lacks a broad cultural identity, and in a sense sport is a way to unite each other.In the United States, parents nurture their children's exposure to sports when they are five or six years old.Sports are also with almost every child's growth, and Americans tend to stick to fitness even after work.In the United States, the fitness and wellness industry ranks among the top 3 in the consumer market, with 50 million Americans participating in health clubs by 2013.In the American education system, physical education is also one of the cores, and they believe that physical education is quality education.The average income of a coach in all sports is much higher than that of a culture teacher.All of the universities that are part of Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) spend three to six times as much on training athletes as they do on teaching, and the median cost of each football player is more than $90,000 per year.That's why Catherine heard about Ethan's AP course schedule and said, "How did you become like Asian?"
”This is also the reason why Ethan wants to build a reputation in the school by joining the rugby team.Asians are keen on cultural knowledge, while Europeans and Americans emphasize self and movement.Asian culture is deeply influenced by a large country in the East, and since ancient times, there has been a perception that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and this cognition has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow with cultural inheritance.And on American campuses, there is a pejorative term called "nerd", which is used to refer to people with heavy eyes and a frail constitution with a bird's nest head.Just as Asian American students don't understand why they spend half of their time in school every day playing sports, American students don't understand why they have to spend all their time in high school.This is a campus cultural difference, and the specific causes will not be repeated."
If you want to be a quarterback, you have to be better than everybody, or no one will obey you."
Adam hooked a rugby ball into his hands with his feet, held the ball in both hands, took two steps back, stretched his whole body into a bow, and threw the rugby ball with one arm.The rugby ball arced in the air and hit the bar thirty yards away, making a clear "thump" sound.Thirty yards away, this is not particularly difficult for Adam, with a success rate of about sixty percent.Ethan couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart, he couldn't do it now."
Now step back, stand in the scoring zone, let's try to connect."
Adam picked up another ball.Then came the boring passing drill, where Adam would pass the ball to Ethan's position from all angles, and sometimes the ball would be deliberately placed a little further away from Ethan, testing Ethan's judgment of where the ball would land.With the exception of the first few, Ethan was able to catch almost every pass, but this was without interference, and when it came to the game, with the interference of opposing defenders, the situation would be much more complicated.There were seven or eight training balls, and Ethan needed to throw them back again, and so on.'
Yes, that's it, for a far striker, it's more important than anything else to be able to catch the ball.Before Adam could finish his sentence, he saw Ethan do the same, throwing the ball back in the same position.In the process of receiving the ball, he is still learning how to pass the ball quickly......
"the speed and accuracy are more than a star and a half apart." ”Ethan shook his head, in practice, it was much more difficult than throwing garbage.This requires a lot of one-handed strength.Not far away, watch the rugby ball rolling down in front of you......
Adam's expression stiffened.If Ethan showed a talent for catching and running before, now Adam has discovered another bigger trait of Ethan.And this feature can raise Ethan's ceiling infinitely!
Be the absolute heart of the pitch.Is this guy an earthling?
Adam was somewhat broken.As long as Ethan has mastered the scientific way of exerting force and movements, he will practice for a few more days......
Who knows exactly how far this guy can go!
