In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 134 The mysterious dark horse (44)

"What is the statistic that measures a quarterback's ability? Is it passing yards? Pass completion rate? Passing touchdowns? Number of interceptions? Or is it just a rating? Or is it reflexes, strength, agility, endurance? , passing ability, tactical hexagonal diagram like this?”

"I feel that these single data are not enough to summarize a quarterback, and these data are like pieces of a puzzle. Only when they are combined can we see the whole picture of a quarterback."

After going through rigorous 5-on-7 situational exercises, three-post tests, 10-yard × 10-yard square area exercises, running and passing route reaction tests, fan passing tests and a series of passing tests, plus some wide receivers, running backs, Even after the front line test and 25 laps totaling nearly 11000 yards (5000 meters), Ethan felt like his skin had been peeled off.

"Now you see my whole face?" Ethan gasped.

Obviously, his physical strength still has its limits, and he can already feel his limits at this moment.

"What's the long-distance running time?" Ethan asked Ford, who was in charge of timing next to him.

"You ran into sixteen and a half minutes! You broke the school record, and you exceeded it by a full minute!" Ford's expression was very unnatural.

"You can represent the United States in the Olympics!"

Ethan shook his head, there was still a long way to go before the Olympics.Not even the level of a second-level athlete.

"You should know me completely now, right?" Ethan, who was sitting on the ground, looked at Thomas on the other side.

Thomas nodded first, then shook his head: "The more I get to know you, the more I understand you, the more confused I feel. I can't even find the best position for you on the football field."

"In other words, I can play any position." Ethan stood up and looked at the empty football field.

There was one day left before the game, and Thomas actually gave the other team members a day off and called him over alone. As for Ford, it was purely an accident. He originally came to see his girlfriend in the cheerleading team, but Thomas invited him to be a volunteer to help move. equipment.

"Now you should tell me why you gave the team members a day off at a critical moment and why you called me over for testing, right?" Ethan muttered.

"These two things are actually for the same reason... we don't know anything about the next opponent." Thomas then told the truth.

"That was the Wildcats from Marshall High School in South Maine, Northeast," Thomas said.

The Northeast Region includes all high schools in Connecticut (CT), Massachusetts (MA), Maine (ME), New Hampshire (NH), New York (NY), Vermont (VT), and Rhode Island (RI) team.

These areas belong to the so-called "New England region", which is the earliest English colony and the birthplace of American bottom culture. This also explains why Ivy League schools are here.

Among high school teams in New England, the strongest state is undoubtedly Massachusetts, with almost % of the teams that have qualified over the years come from here.

This is followed by Maine and Vermont.As for the Marshall High School Wildcats, they were a subpar team last year, but this year they failed to make it out of the qualifying round. They are a dark horse even darker than BHHS.

"Not only have I never encountered it before, I can't even find a video of the Wildcats' game. In the last 16-to-8 game, the Wildcats met a team from Alaska. The game lost suspense in the second quarter. , it has no reference value at all.”

Alaska is a separate region in the Champions League and has always been weak.

“The Wildcats’ previous game records include a 27-21 victory over St. John Prep, a 31-25 victory over St. Sebastian School, and a 19-0 victory over Boston College High School. These are all traditional strong teams in New England. All in all, the strength of the Wildcats should not be underestimated. Since I really don’t have any specific tactics to plan, the schedule is very intensive, and we are playing at home, why not give the players a holiday,” Thomas explained.

"As for letting you come here, I want to see where your upper limit is so that I can plan out targeted tactics on the spot." Thomas said.

Then he lit up his notes.

"I summarized several of your abilities, and I even named them: 'Death Charge', 'Continuous Change of Direction Arc', 'Heavy Bomb', 'Bullet Pass', 'Magic Pass', 'Pocket Trick', and 'Magic'" Commander's 'God's Power' marathon' and the team's '2-minute ultimate attack'..."

Thomas gradually summarized some of the tendencies that Ethan is currently proficient in.

The continuous disguised arc is actually the common route that Ethan first learned from Munster to pursue long-yard runs.

The heavy hit came from All-Star teammate Brad Ott, who was mainly used to pass the ball in the deep zone with a large number of yards.

As the name suggests, the bullet pass is a fast mid-pass.

As for the magic pass, it is a short pass that is relatively concealed and combined with fake movements. It is usually given to running backs, fullbacks, and tight ends.

The pocket trick talks about Ethan's excellent ability to escape from behind the line when faced with multiple markers.

Magic Commander means that Ethan likes to direct his teammates to make continuous team fake action tactics.

The power of God works miracles with great force.

Marathon is simply about endurance.

"Considering that your abilities are very balanced, I think you can adapt to the situation during the game and make targeted adjustments at any time." Thomas nodded continuously.

This time, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, but Ethan has a vague feeling that something will change...

At the end of the test, Ethan also saw the opposing players entering the court collectively to adapt to the field.

Ethan and Thomas exchanged glances.

"You stay here." Ethan whispered.

"What about you?" Thomas couldn't help but ask.

"You also know that there are more people who know me now, so it's not convenient." Ethan was about to leave.

It was rare to have a day off. Thomas would ask everyone to gather together even on weekends. Naturally, Ethan wanted to relax, and then he saw Ford.

At this time, Ford was still slimmer than before, and his face was not so round. He would follow suit in some tests before, and Ethan felt that he was recovering well.

"Where are you going?" he asked at this time.

"Where are you going?" Ethan asked.

"Of course I went to the cheerleading training room and waited for them to finish training."

"What a coincidence, me too."

The two men went to the cheerleading team's training room together.This time Ford also followed suit and entered the training room with Ethan.

At this time, the cheerleading team was rehearsing tomorrow's dance. Accompanied by dynamic music, Ethan saw Jennifer swinging and dancing with a bouquet in her hand, twisting her body.

Seeing Ethan looking towards her, she even danced harder.

Cheerleading performance projects are generally divided into three types. One is shouting slogans, which is the most basic, including cheering in front of the players and maintaining the atmosphere in front of the audience.

One is technical movements, commonly known as pyramid building, and there are also somersaults and the like, which can be understood as acrobatics.

Another kind of dance is the half-time dance.Because the halftime dance preparation takes a long time, it is usually only performed in very important or critical games.

Of course Ethan likes dance the most, especially Jennifer Hewitt’s dance moves. It’s worth mentioning that Amy and Naomi were not on the cheerleading team at all during this time because they had to prepare for the AP exam.

"Why are you so free today?" Jennifer asked with a smile.When dancing, her shirt would slip down, leaving her wearing only a black camisole, revealing her shoulders.

"The team has a day off today."

"So you came to school specifically to wait for me?" Jennifer blinked and discovered the key point.

"Of course." Ethan nodded immediately and kept silent about Thomas calling him over alone.

"Today..." Ethan said pretentiously.

"There is a band rehearsal today." Jennifer responded immediately.

Damn the band!
"Do you want to come together?"

"I won't go. I thought about it. The game is about to start tomorrow. It's better to seize the last moment to prepare. I'm going to train." Ethan said immediately.

Jennifer nodded, feeling that this was right.

But she didn’t expect that Ethan’s exercise method was quite special.

After coming out of school, Ethan went straight to the ICM headquarters, but there was someone in Lisa's office. She was talking to someone, so Ethan couldn't disturb her. Instead, he noticed Susan sitting outside Lisa's office, looking a little idle.

Compared with Lisa, Susan is special to Ethan. She will never reject Ethan, but she will not take the initiative to find him.

Except for things related to Ethan, such as sneaker sponsorship, she would not contact him at all.

But this time, she also went to the office specifically to talk to Lisa, and only came out with Ethan after getting Lisa's consent.

"The boss has a soft spot for you. If I contact you again, I will lose my job." She saw clearly.

"Then why did you agree to me at the risk of Lisa being angry?"

"Because..." Susan rolled her eyes, her whole body boiling.

Her reaction was the answer.

·
When Ethan came back today, Charlize was not home again.

Why do you shoot night scenes every day?
Ethan felt something was wrong, but he was cautious.

Sure enough, he discovered the problem. Charlize came back by car today and sat in the passenger seat.The driver was a man, and he was driving a Mercedes-Benz.

Ethan immediately walked downstairs, and when he opened the door, the two were talking in front of the car. The man seemed to want to come in, but Charlize was not prepared to do so.

"Let me introduce you, this is my manager." Charlize turned around and immediately introduced Ethan to the man in front of him.

The man held a toothpick in his mouth and turned his head to look behind Charlize.

"You two live together?" He frowned slightly as he spoke to Ethan.

Ethan casually held Charlize's shoulders in front of the other party.

"Dear, who is this?" Ethan asked pretentiously.

"Movie director, you two have been in contact."

"I remembered the one who invited you to join the crew." Ethan nodded.

"Charlize and I have something else to do, so I won't invite you in, sorry." Ethan pulled Charlize into the house.

Through the blinds, Charlize saw the director get into the car and leave, then turned around and sat next to Ethan.

"A married man invited me to dinner. He originally just wanted to send me back, but now he wants to come in and sit down." Charlize shook his head.

"Next time you encounter a similar problem, remember to call me." Ethan said.

Now that Lisa is standing behind him, he is naturally confident. Ethan will directly handle these little tricks for Charlize.

Besides, every income of Charlize is now tied to himself.

You can't do nothing.

"I thought you had a game tomorrow, so..." Charlize said she didn't want to disturb Ethan,
"Don't forget, I am your manager, this is my job." Ethan said.

"I understand. If I encounter a similar situation again, I will inform you." Charlize nodded heavily.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" She sat sideways on the sofa, with her legs curled up and her arms supporting her chin. I have to say that she was quite beautiful in this state.

"I want to eat you." Ethan made a sound like a monster in a movie and pounced on you.
