Chapter 69: The Only Weakness "Whew!
”The water splashed high, the debris of the lawn splashed with mud and ideas, and the disadvantages of the natural grass under the heavy rain began to appear.Pat Barnes only felt that his feet were extremely muddy, and he couldn't borrow his strength at all, and the whole person began to slide forward uncontrollably.Luckily, just before he fell to the ground, he held on to the ball and didn't let it go.This accident made the bench players break out in a cold sweat.In the following matches, both teams in the east and west were disturbed by heavy rain.Tyrell Owens, a six-time NFL All-Star in the future, failed to accurately determine where the football would land.Star running back Eddie George, who created multiple chances for the East Force in the first half, nearly slipped in a quick change of direction.The white jersey of the future super-line striker Toni Gozaris is about to be dyed black and turned into a clay figure.As for the needle-to-wheat front, the destructive power of the lawn was already amazing, but now it was stirred up by the rain, and there were ugly mud puddles on the field, like trenches.The entire course gradually turned into a swamp in the pouring rain of rain.Not only the rain, but also the wind, which made the football line more difficult to control, and the quarterbacks on both sides began to make more mistakes.Almost all positions were affected, and naturally the attacks of both sides began to "constipate"."
When you paid the money, you said that the course had excellent drainage performance!"
The person in charge of the organizer of the event, "High School Sports", approached the director of the court.Affected by the weather, the players on both sides can't let go, the enjoyment of the game will naturally decrease, and the money is spent, but it does not get the desired effect, so it is natural to be anxious."
All the indicators of the stadium have been accepted by the NCAA and NFL leagues, and the summer is the peak period of hurricanes in Florida, which is a force majeure in the contract."
The course director argued.The two sides quarreled."
Due to the heavy rain, the visibility at the scene began to decrease, and I wonder if the event has any intention of suspending the game......
We have just received the news that there will be no temporary interruption of the match and that both sides will continue to bring this unique match to the national audience in the rain!
”The moderator announces the news he just received."
It reminds me of the 13th week of the '85 American League regular season, when the Miami Dolphins were also experiencing heavy rain at home, and it is said that the Dolphins had developed a couple of 'puddle run tactics, so let's see how the coaches on both sides will change the lineup!'"
Commentator Chris Collinsworth answered."
That's right, as the most outstanding high school football coaches in the country, the two must be making corresponding adjustments, and there is no doubt that it will be a test for the players on the field, depending on which of the two sides is more adaptable."
The moderator continued.It can be said that the two on-site commentators used their professionalism to successfully guide and mobilize the curiosity of the audience, so that the audience temporarily forgot the impact of bad weather.At the same time, Ethan heard Coach Bob next to him wearing a radio headset giving new orders to Pat."
Heavy rain will make the pass success rate much lower, so try to use as many running tactics as possible."
The ground offensive was relatively less affected, and this was the most basic and effective tactical change.As for more advanced tactics, the coach is not absent, but the players on the field cannot cooperate accordingly.It took a week of guidance, and I only received the weather forecast yesterday, so I didn't have time to prepare.And Manning, of the eastern team, also received the same order.Now the quarterbacks of the two teams on the court are typical "pocket quarterbacks", and the main means of promotion is to rely on passing, just like a player who has been practicing boxing for ten years, and finally walked into the ring but was told that he was only allowed to use his legs to attack, of course, he couldn't use his strength, plus the weather, teammates did not run in for a long time and other factors.Both teams failed to complete a touchdown throughout the third quarter."
At least I'm not being pulled away."
Pat took off his jersey and twisted it, and the water that came out was dirty."
Ethan, you're not much slower than Tommy Fraser, you're less affected by the weather, and we have a chance to recover the disadvantage."
Bob gives encouragement."
If you can make the strongest high school student deflated, everyone will be impressed with you!"
Pat patted Ethan on the shoulder.He and the former Norman quarterback Adam, a class, went to college in the fall, and Ethan did not meet on the field for the time being, after a few days of getting along, he found that he was quite in love with this junior brother, the main reason is that his private hobbies are highly consistent, and at this moment he is really for Ethan's good, and he specially added this sentence.As for Ethan himself, he walked on the field without saying a word, his eyes penetrated the metal mask, and he could see that many players on the field were covered in mud, and he also felt the majestic rain splashing on his body.In particular, the continuous subtle sound of "da-da" made on the helmet is more or less affected although it is "white noise"."
We saw Coach Bob bring in a fourth quarterback, the only 10th grader on the All-Star, 17 years and 10 months.Tony Dorset, the current record holder for youngest appearances, was selected as a high school All-Star at 16 years and 11 months, and he went on to win a Heisman Award and the NFL record for the longest single run at 99 yards!
”The host gave a positive assessment of Ethan's appearance, comparing him to the legendary NFL running back Hall of Famer.At the beginning of the first attack, Ethan faked a fake pass in a row to get rid of the line that came from the raid, ran the ball along the outside line, and chose Munster's charging route, but the defensive intensity was an order of magnitude stronger than the previous Santa Anna, and the end forward was decisive and timely, and even the speed was almost on par with Ethan.Ethan had to force his agility advantage and try to shake off with a feint again, but the slippery ground slowed his movements by a point, which is the difference of this point, and the end forward's one-handed attack directly swept from the bottom to the top, and actually directly hit Ethan's one-armed rugby ball.lt; divcss=ot; ntentadvot; gt; Fortunately, Ethan quickly followed up and raised his hand to hold the ball, so that it did not cause a big disaster, and cold sweat was already oozing from his back.With just this one look, Ethan can clearly feel that not only is his speed, strength, and experience more than one notch better than the opponents he has faced before.This is still an All-Star teammate, in the case of helping himself contain other opponents.If you lead the Normans against such a team, I am afraid that there will be more than one person who is outflanking and supplementing the defense at this moment, at least three.To exaggerate, it is to let teammates take medicine as food every day, clone 20 Bob coaches, and it will take a year or two to smooth out the gap for one-on-one coaching for each player, or when the opponent is standing still.When facing Santa Anna, he can still rely on his own outstanding point to resist the situation and bite the score, and carry (carry) the whole team to win.What if you face a further opponent?
Ethan doesn't have time to think about it right now, he has to play 12 points to focus on the game at hand.However, compared to the face of Santa Anna, Ethan has naturally improved his skills and tactics after several days of intensive training and run-in with the top high school players.What's more, in the first three quarters of the game, you can eat three experience packs in a row!"
We saw Ethan pull away again, looking like he was ready to make a long pass, he was reading the defense, he was shooting, the ball pierced through the rain, through the wind, and pinpointed wide receiver Tyrell Owens, a perfect plus-yardage to block all the weather distractions!
Thirty-five yards!
”The moderator said."
We can see that when he shoots, he actually makes a leg lift similar to that of a baseball player, and from a professional point of view, this is more to hide the direction of the shot, so as to confuse the opponent.This posture of heavy artillery bombardment is exactly the same as Brad Ott in the second quarter, and it seems that Brad has taught Ethan a lot of experience in the pre-game training camp. ”The commentator followed.Brad, who was named, stood on the sidelines with a bewildered expression."
Did I teach him the power technique in my dreams?"
In the first 40-yard line of the East Army's half, Ethan used the "option pass" that Pater is best at, that is, based on the defense on the spot, to determine the optimal solution from a few specific legal receivers on the spot in a very short time.However, due to the impact of the heavy rain, the short serve was too fast to let the near end of the strong side get out of his hand.But even so, it was enough to surprise Pat off the court.The Eastern Army's half-court 40-yard line third block attack, Ethan held the ball in the middle and ran into a defensive tackle, Ethan blocked forward with one arm, not only did not slow down in the slightest, but accelerated, which is exactly the way Tommy Fraser was best at rushing the ball in the first quarter.Just like the duel between knights in the Western Middle Ages, compared to Ethan's indomitable progress, the opponent's defensive volley actually coerced at the last moment, and took a more conservative posture to contact Ethan, and because the mud puddle left under his feet did not stand firmly, he was directly pushed down by Ethan."
Being pushed" on a rugby pitch that emphasizes physical confrontation is equivalent to "being shaken down", which belongs to the ultimate backdrop in the highlights, such as Boateng, who was repeatedly whipped.This completely made the audience boil, and even Ethan got rid of the defense, striding all the way to the shooting star and directly rushing to the ball for a touchdown from 40 yards.As he approached the opposing end zone, Ethan could even feel a very slight tremor on the ground, knowing that the crowd was so boiling during a rugby game that it created a man-made earthquake.As for the noise, it was much higher than when Manning was first welcomed.In addition, Ethan was standing in the end area at this time, relatively close to the audience, and was even shocked to the eardrum at this moment.His teammates also rushed over, looking extra excited."
Don't be stunned, you have to celebrate."
There are reminders from teammates.Ethan also noticed that the end zone photographer with Steadicam on his body was facing him with a professional camera.The whole country watched it......
In fact, in high-profile matches, celebration is an extremely important part of the atmosphere.The previous sliding kneeling was purely motivated by feelings, and for a while he couldn't think of any good movements, Ethan had to stand in place and applaud the audience.The range of action is not even as large as the cheerleader next to it.Years later, the only value that has been mentioned in a game that has not been the number one in Ethan O'Connor's career at all is that it showed his only weakness on the field for the first time......
