In America, the winner takes all.

136 Blizzard

"F**K, I don't want to do anything right now, I just want to go back and lie down and take a nap!"

"Hey, it hurts. These Wildcats are so cruel."

"Isn't this schedule too intensive? After two games, I almost fell apart."

Ethan returned to the locker room and heard complaints from the players around him.

"Think about the other Wildcats. They just arrived from the East Coast the day before. We had a whole day more rest than others." Flea couldn't help but say at this time.

He then looked at Ethan: "I don't know what's going on with the wild boar. Is he going to miss the next game?"

He seemed a little hesitant. Everyone knows what a loss it will be to the team without a main center.

At this time Thomas also walked in.

"The wild boar is being inspected and it will take a few hours. As for the next opponent, it still needs to be drawn and the result will be known tonight."

The current final four players have been determined, namely Beverly Hills High School from Los Angeles, California, Clements High School from Texas, South Kitsap High School from Washington, D.C., and Isidore from New Orleans, Louisiana. · Newman School.

It can be said that they are all old acquaintances.

Clements High School quarterback Keith Smith had been knocked out of the All-Star Game by Eason.

The quarterback at South Kitsap High School in Washington, D.C., was Brad Ott, Ethan's quarterback teammate in the All-Star Game and from whom Ethan learned to hit the ball hard.

As for Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, it is a traditional powerhouse in Louisiana and the alma mater of the Manning family.

Although Peyton Manning has graduated and left the team, his younger brother Eli Manning has successfully taken over the vacancy left by his brother and is currently the main quarterback of the "Greenies" of Isidore Newman School.Although he is younger than Ethan, he is considered another typical "genius boy".

It can be said that no opponent is easy to deal with.

Even Keith Smith, who lost to Eason in the quarterback test, came from a traditionally strong school in Texas.

"Which opponent do you want to meet?" Thomas asked subconsciously at this time.

"Which opponent makes no difference to us." Ethan didn't seem to care at all.

None of these three opponents have obvious weaknesses. It can be said that no one has come through all the way to this point.

Moreover, there is not enough time for targeted tactical drills. It is purely a contest of hard power.

·
That night, Ethan received a call from Thomas.

"The wild boar's internal organs are bleeding. The doctor does not recommend him to do any strenuous exercise. He will need to recover for at least two to three months." Thomas came up to tell him some bad news.

"Is there any substitute?" Ethan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, there are, but in terms of absolute strength and weight, they are not on the same level as wild boars." Thomas said.

"So, you need to be prepared to have your pockets wiped out in the next game." Ethan recalled the previous contest with Santa Ana.

That game was quite difficult. If it weren't for his quick movements in the pocket, he might not have been able to pass the ball.

However, this is not the first time that Ethan has faced frequent pocket losses, so he is still mentally prepared.

"Also, the next opponent is South Kitsap High School in Washington, D.C."

"Not bad." Ethan felt that Brad Otter was better than the other two opponents.

"But we are away from home, and we will leave for Washington, D.C., tomorrow night." Thomas then told another even worse news.

"F**K!" Ethan couldn't help but whisper.

After the exhaustion of the journey and a day to adapt to the venue, the Normans did not have any time to rest at all.

"You'd better pray a few more times, Thomas, and pray that your team members won't continue to get injured." Ethan hung up the phone.

Don't expect to be able to change echelon players in a game of this intensity.

·
After landing at Reagan Airport near Washington, D.C., the Normans and cheerleaders couldn't help but bundle up in their jackets.

"It's so cold!" The flea's teeth chattered with the cold.

Cooper was also wearing a thin coat. At this time, he shrank his neck, pulled his sleeves, and breathed out. You could see the obvious breath coming out.

Although Ethan was dressed very thickly, he could clearly feel the cold when he came out. It was already December, almost the coldest time in Washington.

The body temperature is more than ten degrees lower than in Los Angeles. "The weather forecast said that today's temperature is only 33.8°F, which is not very friendly to people in Los Angeles." Thomas was well prepared, with a thick scarf wrapped around his neck.

When leaving along the passage, the team members saw snow piled up in the corner of the airport apron. Jennifer was actually a little excited to see snow for the first time.

Los Angeles almost never snows, has a typical Mediterranean climate, and the average temperature is much higher than that of Washington.

As Thomas said, the cold was not kind to Southern teams.

Reagan Airport is actually in Virginia, and the group took two buses before entering Washington.

The car was provided by the other school, but Ethan had to find a place to live. It was already too late, so he had to turn to a professional - his secretary Susan, who quickly helped Ethan get it all done.

·
The next day they officially went to South Kitsap High School to adapt to the venue. Three or four team members, including Flea Cooper, even had some colds and would not be used to the cold weather tomorrow.

The training is also relatively ordinary, not to mention any special training in one day.

By the afternoon, there were even snowflakes floating in the sky, and by the end of the training, there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.

The flea picked up the snowflakes and balled them up in her hands.It hit Ford directly.

The snowball exploded in Ford's face and the two men gave chase.

A figure quietly came behind Ethan, stood on tiptoes, raised his arms and poured the snowflakes into Ethan's collar.

Ethan turned around and found Jennifer wearing a furry beanie. The pink and white beanie was decorated with two fluffy balls.

"Looks like you want to have a snowball fight." Ethan squatted down and grabbed a snowflake.

"Wait, that's not fair! You're the quarterback!"

"Then I'll give you a hand."

Jennifer soon discovered how frustrating it was to have a snowball fight with a quarterback.

It cannot be said that it was a complete defeat, it can only be said that it was completely powerless to fight back.

"Bah, bah, bah." Jennifer spat out the snowflakes in her mouth, and her whole body was almost covered with dust.

·
"I just took my temperature this morning. The school doctor here said I have a fever. I think it's because I caught a cold." Flea didn't look in good condition. You know that in half an hour, the semi-finals will officially begin.

"But... it doesn't have a big impact on the game." Flea shook his head and chose to put on a helmet.

Ethan and Thomas looked at each other.

Speaking of which, as the team's scorer, no one can really take Flea's place. Ethan can, but there are more important responsibilities waiting for him.

Therefore, we can only let fleas continue to play.

Before the game started, an old friend of Ethan came to the locker room.

Brad Ott, starting quarterback for the Wolfpack at South Kitsap High School in Washington, D.C.

"I wanted to come to you yesterday, but I didn't think it was convenient to disturb you while you were training. How about you, did you feel the cold wind in Washington?" Brad Ott couldn't help but said.

During the All-Star Game, apart from Pat, he and Ethan had a pretty good relationship.

"I checked the weather forecast. There might be a snowstorm later. I have to remind you to be prepared." He reminded him uncharacteristically.

You know, this is critical information.It may even affect the outcome.

"Although it is the first half of the semester, the universities of most of the players on our team have been determined, including myself. These honors may not have much effect on me. In comparison, we hope to have a game with you. A fair fight!" Brad Ott said.

Ethan nodded: "See you on the field."

The two fist bumped.

Back in the locker room, Ethan asked everyone to put on long spikes.

Compared with rain, blizzard has undoubtedly a more serious impact on the game.

In addition, the temperature in Washington has been relatively low in the past two days. If the ground freezes, it will bring a series of chain reactions.

As the South Kitsap High School drum and bugle band played, the Normans walked out of the tunnel, and Ethan looked up and could see the gray sky.

Almost at the same time as the game started, heavy snow fell from the sky...

　There are only two chapters today.One is that I am in a bad mood, the other is that I have some personal matters at home, which did delay some time, and the other one is that I am in a relatively bad state today.In fact, it’s not impossible to write by force, but I guess it will be three or four in the morning when I finish writing, and I don’t want to change my schedule.It’s a combination of multiple factors, so there are only two updates today.It's a small leave. (I also updated more than words on the same day in the previous three updates. Logically speaking, it cannot be considered a leave.)
