After Ethan's "strong burst" running ball touchdown, the two-pointer on the outside machine was successful. The point difference has widened to 29 points.
This blow completely shattered the opponent's momentum. The Miracle team's new offensive advance was slow. Although they finally completed the touchdown, it took five minutes. And the additional two-point attack failed.
When the Normans started attacking again, quarterback Ethan was standing behind the center. After getting the ball, he knelt down on one knee. Behind him were two fullbacks, and behind him were running backs. Except for the last running back, In addition, everyone else stood very concentrated. This is the "victory formation" Thomas mentioned just now.
This formation can be traced back to the 1958 NFL Finals between the Baltimore Spurs and the New York Giants. Spurs quarterback Johnny Unitas used the "victory formation" on the final drive to let time run out. Victory guaranteed.
Time flies, the person involved has long since retired, and even the two teams have changed their appearance, but this formation has been retained all the way and has become a must for every quarterback to clock out early.
So the last minute of the game seemed a bit boring. Everyone was watching like this, and the on-site commentator had to say:
"No matter what, let us congratulate the Normans for winning this game! I was extremely impressed by the Norman boys, especially their interim quarterback, who wore 88 Ethan O'Connor, who wears the No. 1 jersey, has amazing passing skills. I believe he will be able to compete at a higher level in the near future..."
Since it was an away game, the commentator's praise for Ethan was relatively "subtle". If it were the Nickelodeon Stadium, I'm afraid the commentator would lead the audience to collectively shout Ethan's name.
As for the stands, the few spectators who came to support the Normans fell into carnival. These people had more than a minute to celebrate.
"Won again! Maybe Ethan can make the BHHS Normans great again!" Catherine imagined.
BHHS had a glorious time many years ago. But that's all in the past. In the past ten years, Norman's best result was only the second round of the playoffs, let alone producing any professional football players.
"I'm really happy for you, you have such an outstanding son." Lisa couldn't help but say.
Only as a mother can we understand what this means.
Mia's mother brushed her hair, her face was happy, and her mouth was too modest: "It's so so." But the corners of her mouth almost reached the ears.
It seems that the two of them are about the same age and both are currently single. In fact, they still have a lot of things in common and they quickly became relatively familiar with each other.
Although Catherine was a little unhappy, she didn't say anything. After all, this woman could really help Ethan a lot.
And I just made that kind of suggestion... thinking about it, I have made up my mind, and at least it can bring a lot of practical benefits to Ethan.
From this point on, she had no reason to stop him.
"Now let's go down to see Ethan. He will return to the players' lounge soon." Mia then saw Ethan walking off the field carrying his helmet.
·
Ethan came to the edge of the field and threw his helmet to the assistant coach.
This time, no audience rushed to the venue to hug themselves and take photos.
But Ethan was still surrounded, surrounded by opponents.
"Can I exchange jerseys with you?" A member of the Miracle team stepped forward and said.
Just like in football, players will also engage in some friendly activities after the game, such as exchanging jerseys.
As for the last game, it was about the playoff spots. The two sides were very competitive, but there was no such move.
The Miracle team itself was slightly inferior to others, and the main quarterback was injured. In fact, they didn't have much hope from the beginning. It was for this reason that Ethan attracted more attention. His outstanding performance conquered the Miracles. These guys on the team.
"Of course." Ethan hugged and shook hands with him, and finally exchanged jerseys with him.
Someone started, and the rest no longer hesitated.
Helmets, gloves, badges, signatures... Looking at the posture of this group of people, I wanted to strip Ethan naked. In the end, there was nothing left to exchange, so Ethan had to start signing.
He never practiced his so-called signature to the point where it didn't look good. He felt that there was no need to practice yet, but who could have imagined that he would be so popular.
At this moment, the opponent's No. 24 player came to Ethan fully armed.
Through the mask, Ethan saw a stern face that looked evil.
Beast Munster came to Ethan, took off his helmet, and said in surprise: "How did you learn how to do it?"
"I actually used to be a wide receiver, so..." Ethan responded.
"Wide receiver? Which high school did you go to before?" Munster thought Ethan was a transfer student, so he asked.
"I was studying at BHHS before. In fact... I just joined the team, just last month."
Munster was still grinning at first, but at this time his expression was frozen, and the thick black lips that were unique to black people were buzzing. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to say it.
A little bit uncomfortable, jealous, helpless, and envious.
Ethan's words were a bit too heartbreaking.
"Actually, you're pretty good too. Our coach immediately arranged a new tactic. If your quarterback doesn't get into a car accident and you're in trouble, we can still fight." Ethan continued.
Upon hearing this, he shook his head: "In the future, there will be an era of aerial attacks, and the status of running backs will become increasingly embarrassing."
With the advancement of technology, players' physical fitness and career duration will gradually improve, not only in rugby but also in other sports.
In the sport of rugby, the running backs who are mainly responsible for ground attack and close contact with the defensive team are becoming increasingly weak. More and more teams use passing as the main means of scoring.
The quarterback will become increasingly important.
But all this has not come yet.
"You are still thinking long term."
Ethan felt that this Munster looked like a rough guy, but he was quite thoughtful.
"No matter what, I look forward to meeting you next time. During this period, I will treat you as a target." Munster finally shook hands with Ethan.
After sending Munster away, the other side's black head coach came again.
He also wondered why Ethan had such an excellent ability to run the ball.
And Ethan's answer was exactly the same as before.
"Interesting, young man, are you interested in coming to Caver City High School? We have additional player bonuses and you will receive a generous package."
Ethan has only heard of poaching from professional teams, but he has never heard of poaching high school students. Is the competition so fierce in high school?
Ethan felt this information was crucial.
Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Thomas' angry voice.
"Get out of the way, Brother Ni, don't touch my players!" Thomas immediately put his arm around Ethan's shoulders and blasted him away.
The two walked all the way into the exit channel.
"You...don't try to lie to me. I know you have never practiced running the ball. Tell me what is going on?" Thomas also fell into unprecedented doubts.
This is incredible.
"What's going on?" Ethan shrugged.
"You can't just look around and..." Thomas muttered.
"if not?"
Thomas seemed to be electrocuted and moved away from Ethan. He stood in this position and looked up and down carefully, as if looking for evidence that Ethan came from an alien place.
"Stop making trouble." Thomas waved his hand.
"if not?"
"Just watching!!! That's impossible!" Thomas felt that if he accepted this logic, then his more than 20 years as a coach would be in vain.
"Of course it's impossible. To be precise, I practiced it in my brain several times, um, many times." Ethan explained to him the principles of brain training.
"Uh..." Thomas couldn't even think of how to respond to Ethan.
This will make his strength increase rapidly, no, the speed of light!
He began to feel grateful for the decision he had made. Now that Ethan is on the right track, he, the school, his team members, and all relevant stakeholders will all benefit! This is the horror of football stars.
"Do you still need a personal trainer? I mean I can do it for free, as long as you mention that I am your coach." Thomas continued.
"That won't work, you have to pay more." Ethan shook his head.
"In this case, it's not impossible...can I choose to defer payment?" Thomas actually took it seriously. He had already accepted Ethan's conditions.
Only when he found Ethan laughing did he realize that he had been tricked.
Coach Thomas treats him well, mentioning his name is just a trivial matter, and it doesn't matter to Ethan at all.
"By the way, I just met a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. He is an old friend of mine. He talked to me a lot just now. He is very interested in you. I asked him to wait outside the player tunnel..." He walked to Thomas informed at the door of the locker room.
"He may have to wait a little longer." Ethan said letting Thomas go to the locker room first.
Thomas stood at the door and watched Ethan walk towards the three women waiting next to him.
He knew Catherine, and the other middle-aged woman with hair of the same color as Ethan was probably Ethan's mother.
As for the other tall, dark-haired, middle-aged woman... Wow, she looks really energetic.
Thomas turned his head at this time and realized that many players were also looking around.
You know, women of this age are particularly attracted to young boys.
"Whatever you are looking at, go in and change your clothes!" Thomas shouted.
But someone with discerning eyes can tell who this is.
"Rice's mother is so beautiful. I love his mother."
Several ignorant young people burst into laughter.
