In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 143 You can never guess what he is thinking (34)

Rice took a deep breath and put on his helmet.

The field of vision on the left and right sides of the eyes is blocked to a certain extent, and the metal crossbar of the metal mask can also be seen at the lower edge of the vision.

This feeling of wearing a helmet has not appeared to him for a long time.

He stepped onto the green field, and the sound of tens of thousands of spectators was not completely blocked by the helmet. Rice felt that the sound formed a curtain wall, wrapping his head.

"GO Ethan!"

Rice distinguished the shouts, not for himself, but for Ethan.

He stood behind the front line, and in his peripheral vision he could see Ethan turning around and giving him a thumbs up.

Encouragement from...the captain.

Rice nodded, trying to let go of everything and focus on the field...

·
Ethan, who has been the quarterback all semester, naturally has a new perspective this time standing on the edge.

As the referee blew his whistle, Ethan shouted the service slogan.

He's just standing as a tight end, but he's actually a quarterback.

The moment the center kicked off the ball, Ethan squatted forward, then exerted force on his legs and pushed his body diagonally upward.This action is similar to the head-butt of a horned herbivore.

There is actually no one across from Ethan, and the one facing the defensive end is actually the tackle next to Ethan.He helps the tackle and defensive end collide head-on.

At the same time, the defensive end immediately felt a huge force coming from his left front. He didn't even have enough mental preparation. He took two steps back. At the same time, the tackle next to Ethan let out a roar. Give the opponent any chance to directly push the defensive end away.

With Ethan's help, the strong side directly opened the gap. At the same time, Ethan felt someone passing by at great speed behind him.

There is a taboo on the football field, especially in the offensive team, and that is looking back, which represents distrust of teammates.

Since you choose to stand in front, you must leave the back to your teammates.

The next second, Ethan saw Ford passing by him holding the ball.

This is the tactic that Ethan started to arrange. The strong side opened a gap, Rice handed the ball to Ford, and Ford rushed out of the gap to get the yardage.

At the same time, Ethan also started to move. Seeing that the player in front of him was trying to block Ford, Ethan immediately chose to accelerate, squeezing the defensive linebacker away from one side, and creating space for Ford again.

Relying on these two key blocks of Ethan, Ford successfully gained 7 yards.

You must know that this is a short-yardage running tactic. If you can get five yards, it is considered a success.

Before forming up again, Ethan gave orders to his teammates.

The same position, but this time after the kickoff, Ethan did not move forward. Instead, he chose to retreat and block the incoming defensive end. He erected a wall for Rice on the outside of the pocket.

Rice did not disappoint Ethan's expectations and successfully passed the ball. The only misfortune was that despite Matic jumping high and having touched the ball with his fingertips, he still failed to catch it.

"If I pass the arc lower, he can get the ball." Rice shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. You've done a good job. You can leave it to me next time you encounter this situation." Ethan knocked on his helmet.

In the third attack, this time Ethan chose to rush out of the gap by himself.Almost at the same time, the man arrived and the ball arrived.

Although the ball was not as accurate as his own, Ethan still jumped on the spot, reached forward and fished the ball back in the air. Although his body was out of balance, he still got it for the Normans thanks to his excellent catch. 11 yards.

At this time, Ethan actually took on the responsibilities of a wide receiver in the past. He was a tight end. His position was more flexible and he could participate in defense as well as offense.

Off the court, the Green Team's coaching staff is having close discussions to discuss countermeasures for Ethan O'Connor's temporary change of formation.

It can be said that Ethan's temporary change completely disrupted all previous arrangements.

The coaching staff of the green team thought that Ethan would be a quarterback, a wide receiver, or even a running back, but no one expected that he would actually play as a tight end.

Not to mention that the other party didn't think of it, not even Thomas. This was completely Ethan's on-the-spot decision.

And relying on this special on-the-spot decision, all the opponent's previous preparations were in vain.

As for Eli Manning, he is sitting on the sidelines at the moment, his face looking very calm.

As he said before, he is only focused on arranging and completing the attack. As for other things, that is not something that should be solved. Trying rashly will only make himself confused, which is not in line with the "focus" he has set for himself. "Require.

Several consecutive attacks on the other side of the field also allowed the Normans' front to advance steadily, but the time of the first quarter was up. At this time, the front line stayed at 37 yards in the opponent's half.

Both parties will get 2 minutes of rest and discussion time.

"The current score is 7 to 7. The two sides were tied in the first quarter. It can be said that Ethan once again challenged the green team's defensive team with his new formation. At present, it seems that the green team is There was no good solution.”

"Ethan's personal ability gives him sufficient confidence to make special adjustments on the spot, even temporarily, for each attack. I think in the next ten years, all coaches in the rugby world will face a problem...how to defend against Ethan O’Connor.”

"Even when many of the main players were injured, Ethan showed the spirit of never giving up. You must know that he is only the only one. I am willing to call him a true team leader."

"That's right, I was also thinking about what I was doing when I was thinking about it?" "Still thinking about how to skip class..."

The three of them can be considered old partners. Rather than commentating on the game, it is better to say that they are three old men having a conversation. While being extremely professional, they are also mixed with humor. It is like a talk show. The impression is very impressive. The people are comfortable and worthy of being the ace hosting team with the most popular rugby program in the country.

"So far, it seems that this tactic is very successful!" Thomas, who was surrounded by everyone on the bench, also seemed particularly excited.

"Ethan... I even thought of a similar change..." Thomas told Ethan his thoughts. Ethan's temporary change gave Thomas a new revelation, or... a sudden enlightenment.

Many new lineups suddenly emerged in his mind.

After hearing this, Ethan nodded frequently, thinking that he could use it later.

On the other side, the green team's defensive staff and coaching staff are also in close communication, discussing how to change the formation against Ethan.

The game resumed in the second quarter and the Normans continued to attack from the previous service line.

Ethan still stood at the tight end position. In the second quarter, under the premise of ensuring that the strong side could steadily suppress the opponent's defensive front, he tried to get the ball more and even completed a small cooperation with Rice. After passing the ball to himself, Ethan continued to shake and fake running, and finally passed the ball to Rice, who was standing on the other end of the line.

The ball flew out diagonally, almost across the entire court, and finally went directly into Rice's arms. It was positioned as precisely as a missile. Rice didn't even need to move or jump.

This pass alone gained eleven yards for the Normans.

After holding the ball, Rice also made an attempt to gain more yards by running the ball.

However, he is not good at speed and his movements are a bit slow. In such a high-level arena, he was easily subdued by his opponents.

And this time during the formation, Ethan still gave him a thumbs up to express encouragement.

Who says stepsons and stepfathers can't have true feelings?
In this round of scoring offense, Ethan's encouragement finally worked. In the third gear, after almost trying various methods, Ethan once again bet on Rice.

A long pass penetrated the dense defense. Rice, who had already run into the area, almost flew to save the ball. He volleyed the ball sideways and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Touchdown!"

"The two quarterbacks have an extremely tacit cooperation! It can be called a double-four connection!"

What double four?It sounds so bad, it should be called a father-son connection.Ethan couldn't help but think after hearing this.

There was even more cheers in the VIP room specially reserved for Ethan’s family.

"Rice is great." Mia was also happy for Lisa.

In the past, I always praised my own son, but sometimes it's not bad to praise other people's sons.

"Then it's your son who taught you well." Lisa smiled, but her words came from the bottom of her heart.

Naturally, she could also feel the changes in Rice during this period. He stopped causing trouble and became more focused. It could be said that this moment could not be achieved without his previous efforts and Ethan's earnest teachings.

Thinking about it this way, Rice has made a lot of money by having such a good father.

As for Kate, who was also in the VIP room, she was naturally happy for Ethan and kept applauding.

At this moment, Kate's phone rang.

She walked out of the box and answered the phone.

"Why are you still going to watch Ethan O'Connor play? Hasn't this matter been resolved? What you need to think about now is how to restore your reputation instead of getting entangled with a high school student." Sarah Douglas on the other end of the phone The voice sounded particularly stern.

"No, I'm trying to save my reputation." Kate suddenly said.

·
As the Normans completed the touchdown and extra point, the score went ahead again.

The offensive team of the green team that came on the scene also continued their offensive effort and scored another touchdown in 5 minutes.

Just as the Green Team's defense seemed helpless against Ethan O'Connor, the Norman defense also had nothing to do with Eli Manning.

After all, these are the only five top quarterbacks in history who have won two Super Bowl MVPs. Although they have not really grown up, they are still not something that their peers can touch.

It can be said that although Ethan and Eli have never been on the court at the same time, the comparison between the two has never stopped from before the game started to during the game.

At this moment, the performance of both sides is also indistinguishable.

There were still three and a half minutes left before the end of the first half. Ethan came on the field again, and this time he immediately felt the pressure. The opponent sent heavy troops to defend on the strong side. They simply relied on the number of people to mark themselves. They did not seek to be effective, but to consume. own physical strength.

And Ethan has not forgotten the new idea Thomas proposed at the end of the first quarter...

Immediately make corresponding changes again.

"We saw...Ethan walked towards the fullback! He and fullback Cooper made a position exchange! This is a brand new tactic." Mark Maloney exclaimed again, he had forgotten, This is the first surprise of this game.

"You can never guess what Ethan is thinking!"
