Chapter 7 Tactics Adam was right, and Coach Thomas did have the intention of letting Ethan replace the injured wide receiver.To be precise, as one of the alternatives, the other option is to have Ethan's Italian-American starter on the team at the same time.Next week is the penultimate round of the SouthCoast League.Hosted by the Los Angeles City Department of Education, the Nanan League is a Los Angeles urban high school sports league that covers seven high schools in Los Angeles and competes in a variety of sports, including football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and volleyball.In football, a double round-robin format is used, with a total of 42 games in a school year, and the top three high schools in the points advance to the CIF (California Interschostic Federation) South Division (CIFSouthernSection) playoffs.The opponent is the Eagles of Hawthorne High School, this team originally hovered in the bottom seat all the year round, this year of sudden rise, the state is brave, and currently the same points as the disabled Normans, this game, will be a life-and-death battle whether the Normans can enter the playoffs.On his third day of training with the team, Ethan was able to become a member of the offensive team as an outsider.Opposite Ethan is the corner of the defensive team, who is responsible for marking wide receivers in the game.He was an eleventh grade senior, and he greeted Ethan warmly as soon as he saw him."
I've seen your last catch and I'm very impressed."
He patted Ethan's chest, nicknamed "The Mountain" in the team, with a deep voice and a personality similar to his nickname, calm and tenacious.That unexpected catch on the sidelines made Ethan famous in the team, and although he was only a junior player, some people were very optimistic about Ethan's potential."
Keep your mouth shut, now it's training time, you need to focus, it's no longer your alumni who are in the right position, but the enemy, do you understand?
Give me 120% strength. ”Thomas reprimanded.Standing on the outside of the service line, Ethan saw the center pass the ball to quarterback Adam with a long serve from his crotch, and at the same time, Ethan was already rushing forward.Rush forward, that's the only command Ethan gets before training.Go deep into the heart of the defensive group, take away corners and create space for your teammates.As for whether it was a lateral transfer or a vertical forward, Ethan was not strictly demanded, and he was even excluded from the tactical system."
Since you still don't understand tactics, why don't you try to use your imagination."
That's what Coach Thomas said to Ethan.So Ethan chose to change direction continuously, "Peak" Monte is a big man, with a physical advantage, but in terms of physical flexibility, Ethan is a little worse, and sure enough, Ethan really found an opportunity, after a continuous and rapid change of direction and running, he and Monte pulled away.Standing in his pocket, Adam spotted an open space next to Ethan at the far end, opted for a very classic seven-step back, and threw a powerful pass towards Ethan from forty yards away just before he was about to be tackled by the lineback.The high-speed spinning rugby ball drew an arc in the air, and Ethan had already formed a prejudgment of where the ball would land, but it was in this short gap that Monte had already caught up, and turned to cling to Ethan, forcibly squeezing Ethan's position.The rugby ball hits the ground and rolls down to the far end.The failure of the pass also means that this attack is over.Rugby is actually a turn-based game, where the attacker gives the offense to the opponent if they accumulate four failed attempts, and if they advance more than ten yards, they get a new four, and so on until the touchdown is reached."
This kind of passing intention is too obvious, believe me, the opponent who is opposite you will only be faster, you will never get the ball like this, you have to play in advance."
Monte pulls Ethan up and tells him the key points directly.In the second gear, Ethan used the same tactics as before, once again pulling out the gap through flexibility.And this time quarterback Adam also chose to play a long pass again, but the pass was not to Ethan, but to another wide receiver on the other side - Flea.He didn't have the upper hand physically, but he was incredibly fast, turned quickly after receiving the ball, and after running wildly for 20 yards, he was controlled by a combination of swings and corners that came from the trap.At this time, it was only 20 yards away from the formation area, and the offensive effect was immediate.Within an hour, the whole team continued to conduct offensive and defensive drills.The intensity of this exercise has surpassed that of the official game, where the offensive and defensive groups often alternate and can have plenty of rest time.At this time, everyone, including Ethan, was sweating profusely, and the scorching sun of early summer was beginning to appear.The disadvantage of the flea is also beginning to show, he is full of explosiveness, but not stamina.Ethan, on the other hand, can still run.Relying on his physical advantage, Ethan's number of successful catches increased, completing four touchdowns, and gradually began to cooperate more tacitly with Adam, often the moment Ethan just started, Adam passed the ball.One of the most critical times, Ethan learned how to get rid of fleas, and under the triangle of the guard who was outflanked in front and the strong guard who had an angular position, he made a quick stop and turned around, making a getaway posture similar to the "Marseille slalom" in football, and successfully completed the touchdown from the encirclement of the three.In rugby, there is a more figurative way to name it "Houdini Escape".Houdine is known as a master of escape magic, often locking himself in various enclosed environments, and repeatedly escaping.And "Houdini's escape" is often used to refer to those wonderful actions that complete the escape in a desperate situation.Ethan completely ignited everyone present.Adam couldn't help but applaud, and someone stuffed his finger into his mouth and blew a rapid whistle.Coach Thomas, who was watching, also nodded frequently.lt; divcss=ot; ntentadvot; gt; For the remaining hour, the two security guards at the end of the defense also focused more on Ethan's side, which was completely different from the beginning.The respect of the opponent is often the greatest respect.And with Ethan's containment, the fleas also gained more room to play.Ethan and Flea, this pair of left and right "double ghost slapping door" offensive combination also began to take shape.In the last attack, Ethan and Flea crossed the two people, so that the defenders at the far end directly intersected, forming chaos, Adam saw this and threw the ball, Ethan easily caught it, and came to the formation area with a jogging speed.The defensive group in his own team is no longer enough to play.When Coach Thomas blew the whistle, Flea ran straight over and put his arm around Ethan's shoulder."
I like you so much, brother!
I've played with a lot of wide receivers and you're the best one I've ever had!
”Flea took off his helmet and was a round-faced young man."
We're going to be the best partners."
Adam also came over and couldn't help but sigh: "You're growing up fast. ”Then he added, "Why don't we use the last cross-run as a fixed tactic and name it scissors."
When I made this gesture......
"Adam made a "V" gesture."
That would be a sign that we're going to have a touchdown!"
Fleas toss their helmets high.Compared to other sports, rugby has a very obvious fixed tactic, which is like martial arts.However, Ethan is still in the stage of punching and killing the master.And his disadvantages were vividly reflected in the following post-practice review session.Ethan followed the crowd into the locker room, and Thomas began to discuss tactics with the crowd."
Just now the 78shouttosser tactical TE ran obviously slow, causing RB to almost be captured......
"Listening to Coach Thomas's analysis, Ethan completely feels like he is listening to the sky.The other team members were listening attentively, but Adam took out a small notebook and began to take notes on the spot.After a while, waiting for the free discussion stage, Adam stood up and announced the new tactical password, saying that in this tactic, other positions should be used as cover to pull out space for the two wide receivers.Ethan felt almost everyone's eyes converge on him.The team has a self-centered strategy, which means that they are completely firmly seated in the main force.The Italian in the corner, who had been recruited at the same time as Ethan, looked a little unsightly.He duplicated Ethan's position, and now it looks ......
Either switch to a different position or be Ethan's backup.After the tactical review, Thomas left Ethan alone."
Tell me, you've played rugby, haven't you?
You definitely don't look like a newbie. ”Thomas looked at Ethan again.Ethan shook his head again."
Then you must have been involved in other sports."
Coach Thomas clasped his hands to his chest."
Is playing arcade games considered sports?"
Ethan said with a smile."
You must be kidding."
Thomas shook his head again and again, and said with a smile."
Coach, I think I have the ability to fit into the tactical system now......
"No, no, no, you, no, need, any, tactics, that will limit you."
Coach Thomas repeated.Thomas pointed to his head, fingertips spinning, like a clever Hugh brother.The cartoon aired on CBS in 1987, and Thomas's youngest son liked to watch it."
You've got to open the shackles of your mind, you're going to be the most unexpected card for the Normans, you're going to take the opponent off guard and help the team win, just next week."
He cracked his mouth and looked at Ethan like he was looking at some kind of treasure.After reading it, remember to bookmark it for next time!
