At 11 noon, the train arrived at London Station.
After the team members got off the bus, they immediately transferred to a chartered bus that the drummer had already contacted and headed to Tonbridge, Kent, southeast of London.
Tonbridge Secondary School, one of the three most aristocratic schools in the UK, is located in the town of Tonbridge.
This was originally the fiefdom of an established noble.
In 1533, this nobleman developed this wasteland into a school for the education of the children of the royal family.
Therefore, Tonbridge Secondary School has a history of nearly 500 years.
Historically, many members of the British royal family attended school here.
Of course, the most impressive thing about Tonbridge Middle School is that as a middle school, they actually have a TSC sports center covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters, and some of the sports venues and venues have reached Olympic standards.
After taking a chartered bus for more than an hour, the Bucks Steel Horns team arrived at this famous aristocratic public school.
No Jazz Jazz players came to greet him, only a staff member in a suit with an arrogant face and a look above his nostrils came to greet him.
This staff member was not so much leading and accompanying the whole process as supervising the whole process. It seemed that he was afraid that this group of "hillbillies" from Southampton would steal or damage things belonging to their Tonbridge Middle School.
Apart from feeling a very obvious sense of scornful arrogance, the rest of the process went smoothly.
At 12 o'clock sharp, the Bucks Steelhorns entered the Tonbridge Middle School staff cafeteria for dinner - yes, not the student cafeteria, but the staff cafeteria.
Originally, Xitiao and others were very angry about this, but after entering the staff restaurant, Xitiao and the others could no longer care about their anger.
Every dish at the Tonbridge Center staff meal is as exquisite as a work of art.
Compared with the staff meal at Tonbridge Centre, the buffet at Manchester Grammar School is nouveau riche style.
The Bucks Steel Horns players finished lunch and rested for another hour before going to the designated training field at Tonbridge Middle School for pre-match training.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the Bucks Steel Horns were led by arrogant suit staff to the visiting team's locker room at No. 3 Stadium in Tonbridge.
Compared with the visiting team dressing room at Manchester Grammar School, the visiting team dressing room at No. 3 Tonbridge Stadium is like a five-star hotel.
Not only is it large, but it also has an aristocratic, refined and high-end feel everywhere.
The locker room was spotless and there was even a separate treatment room.
And this is not the best court or the best locker room at Tonbridge High School.
Rusty Strip couldn't help but said: "These aristocrats are so extravagant! They even have such a grand dressing room! However, from the perspective of the dressing room alone, they are better behaved than those brats from the pirate ship."
Minato sneered, "You're wrong about that. Can the Wild Boar Jazz be good people? They just think they are too noble and disdain us civilians for doing tricks. The official game will start later, everyone is welcome, even us If we can’t win, we have to kick those dead nobles to death!”
"Yes! Fuck them!"
The Bucks Steel Horns players clenched their fists in response.
Coach Carter walked into the locker room, swept the entire court with majestic eyes, and began to lecture:
"The pre-match training just now, to be honest, you didn't achieve the results I expected. I'm not very satisfied. You still have a lot of headaches, but there is no other way now, the game is about to start. "
"However, I still want to say a few more words."
"This game is the most important game we face."
"As everyone knows, the Tonbridge Wild Boars Jazz we faced today have 0 points."
“They lost to the Rugby Golden Fleece in the last round.”
"And today, when they return to their home court, they will definitely try their best to score three points from us at all costs."
“They treat us like fish belly, and it’s fish belly that is sour and smelly.”
"They thought we were going to lose."
Carter paused for a moment and asked in a cold tone: "So, tell me, are you guys fat?"
The entire Bucks Steelhorn team roared: "No! Coach! We are not!"
Carter raised his voice again: "What the hell are you, country bumpkins, stinky fish sellers?"
The Bucks Steel Horns roared wildly: "No! Coach! We are not!"
Coach Carter sneered, "The slogan is loud... but you will most likely lose this game, and you will even lose miserably."
Bucks Steelhorns players all had their heads down.
Indeed, objectively speaking, the strength gap between the two teams is very large. The Bucks Steel Horns still have big problems themselves, and this is their home court.
Carter continued to say scornfully: "With our current passing and receiving cooperation that always makes mistakes, how can we not lose? So, we are still the stinky fish bellies in the impression of those noble nobles - deep in your hearts , do you all think so?"
The players immediately clenched their fists hard.
Captain Bread stood up and said, "Coach! Whoever dares to think like this in the Bucks Steel Horns team, I will be the first to kill him!"
"Yes! Whoever dares to think so, we will kill him!"
"Southampton Bucks Steel Horns, no matter how weak we are, we will never give in to the nobles!"
"Today we must kick the shit out of Tonbridge!"
The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was explosive!
Gu Ran knew clearly that this was Coach Carter's words, but standing next to these second-tier teammates, Gu Ran couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic.
I saw a smile appear on the corner of Coach Carter's mouth, and it fleetingly said: "Very good, if you all really think so, then our Bucks Steel Horns team still has hope of appearing as a group."
"The group qualified?"
"Coach...didn't you make a slip of the tongue?"
In the group of death, qualifying as the fourth worst team?
I wouldn’t dare to think so in my wildest dreams!
"I didn't make a slip of the tongue." Carter said solemnly: "I'm talking about qualifying for the group! From beginning to end, my goal, Lamar Carter, is very clear, that is to lead your group to qualify! We already have 1 point, as long as today's We can draw with the Wild Boars Jazz in the game, and then return to our home court in the third round and win the Rugby Golden Fleece, and we can accumulate 5 points and qualify as second in Group E!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire visiting team's locker room was in an uproar.
"Is the coach crazy?"
"It's difficult to tie the Wild Boar Jazz, but the coach actually wants to beat last year's runner-up Golden Fleece team?"
"Is the coach being sarcastic?"
"I think...it's just irony. He is satirizing us."
"Well... the coach is capable of doing things like this to ridicule us."
Almost all the players thought that Coach Carter was talking in his sleep.
Only Gu Ran's eyes lit up slightly.
As a reborn person with 12 years of experience, Gu Ran immediately understood Coach Carter's strategy!
Just listen to Coach Carter continue to explain: "If you can draw with the Wild Boar Jazz today, then in our Group E, who else can threaten the Rugby Golden Fleece group's first place?"
"When there is no suspense about the Golden Fleece's first place in the group, they will never waste the physical energy of their main players for a meaningless away game. They will prepare for the top 16 knockout rounds, the top 8 knockout rounds, and even the next four games. Strong competition, battle for championship and runner-up.”
"I can tell you 100% that when we return to our home court in the third round, all we need to face is the Golden Fleece substitute team."
"Our three points will come from the Golden Fleece substitute team."
"That's my strategy."
Carter took a deep breath and raised his voice and asked: "So you tell me, in our home stadium of Southampton Bucks Steel Horn, you can't even play as a substitute team?"
"No! Coach! We can!"
The emotions of all Bucks Steel Horns players were completely ignited!
They really saw hope of qualifying from the group!
Before, the players knew they had to play hard, but no one dared to think about qualifying from the group.
And now, after Carter's analysis, qualifying for the group is really possible!
The premise is to draw or even win against the Wild Boar Jazz!
"Okay..." Carter slowly raised his head, "Prove it to me!"
"Yes! Coach!"
All the players roared in response.
Gu Ran also roared loudly.
