John can see two cornerbacks in his line of sight - cornerbacks are guards who guard each corner of the field, that is, players who specialize in guarding receivers. They are scattered on one side of the field and then defend according to tactical arrangements. But this time, they were defending a running ball attack, so both cornerbacks were near the midline and moved to the left with the offensive team, clearing most of the field.
As a result, the entire stadium directly in front became empty and flat.
John hugged the football tightly and ran, ran fast, ran with all his strength, ran with concentration, without any hindrance. After accurately receiving the football from the 40-yard line, he ran selflessly like this, closer, closer, and he ran towards the end zone without any restraint.
There is no obstruction, no hindrance, no fetters. John ran like this, his ears filled with the whistling wind, and he rushed through the end zone and completed the touchdown. So easy, without even spending any extra effort, the only thing he needs to do is: run, catch the ball, run, so easy, so simple, so perfect.
A fatal blow!
After entering the end zone and completing the touchdown, John slammed the football to the ground, and he did it! He did it! The surging emotions in his chest were vented heartily. His first reaction was to look at the other end of the court, looking for Lu Ke's figure, but this was not an easy task.
Because the offensive team members of the sparring team rushed over in a swarm, blocking their view. Everyone's face was filled with excitement and excitement, and they were shouting, "You did it! You did it!" That was too much A hoarse voice filled with excitement filled his ears.
Also because the members of the opponent's defensive team stood there with bewildered expressions, scattered in different places on the field. They didn't even understand what happened. How could they complete the long pass or complete the touchdown?
People standing on the sidelines were also shocked. The players in the first and second tiers couldn't believe it. It was the training team who scored first, and it was a long pass that sealed the throat with a sword - the offensive team had already scored a touchdown less than 30 seconds after taking the field. , this was so unbelievable, so unimaginable, so fantastical that everyone looked at each other in shock.
Even three members of the coaching staff are like that. Rick Neuheise looked at the center of the field with interest. What surprised him was not just a touchdown, but the entire trajectory of the pass, from the layout to the release, from the football's flight trajectory in the air to John's safe catch. The power, accuracy and control displayed throughout the pass are truly eye-catching.
But, I don’t know if this is a flash in the pan, or is it an inherent level?
Rick looked back at his two coaching partners, "Did you just notice the offensive team's tactical layout? Is this intentional? Did the quarterback arrange the field before the kickoff? "Because I didn't have any expectations before, I didn't observe too carefully, so I naturally ignored these details.
Offensive coach Norm Chow and defensive coach Chuck Bullough, who were standing nearby, both smiled bitterly and were unable to give a definite answer.
Norm said something like, "It all happened so fast."
Indeed, in just thirty seconds, the touchdown was completed. That was really fast, even though it was a training match.
Rick twitched his lips and said, "It seems that the little guys who are sparring have really brought a lot of surprises."
However, it must be realized that in the first attack just now, the third-tier defensive team did not pay enough attention, which resulted in defensive flaws and left Lu Ke enough time to pass the ball. Next, after everyone cheered up, things became more interesting. Rick was somewhat looking forward to how the offensive team led by Lu Ke would respond and how their performance would be.
The defensive player who took a step slowly to tackle Lu Ke stood up and stood to the side angrily. Lu Ke stood up, clenched his fists, and waved it hard a few times. After all, he couldn't hold it back and roared domineeringly, "Good job!" It worked. His tactics were successful, and his recent efforts were also rewarded. In return, this touchdown was finally completed!
This was his first step on the field after obtaining the system. Although it was just a training field, it was already a huge improvement compared to being a sparring partner.
Before Lu Ke could celebrate further, he saw John rushing over like a derailed train, followed by a large number of tails, roaring towards him, and then they surrounded Lu Ke in the center. Cheering loudly, "Lu Ke! Lu Ke! Lu Ke!" The celebration scene was like winning the Super Bowl, ecstatic!
A smile widened at the corners of Lu Ke's mouth.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, and Kevin, who was standing on the sidelines, kicked the chair hard, but it was himself that hurt. Kevin gritted his teeth and pretended not to care. The palm of his hand holding the helmet turned white and he grinded his teeth hard. Damn clown!
"Cheer up! It's just a touchdown! Let's just score another touchdown and come back!" Kevin shouted to his teammates, and then he was about to go on the court, but his arm was pulled. Kevin turned his head and said fiercely He glared at his teammates, "What's wrong?"
The teammates shook their heads and said, "The extra points haven't been kicked yet." After the extra points were raised, the special teams team still needed to kick off the game before it was their turn to take the field.
It is different from kicking off directly in the center circle after a goal is scored in football. After a touchdown, the team that just completed the touchdown will restart the kick on their own side, and then the opponent will be responsible for receiving the ball. After receiving the ball, they can also return the ball, which is consistent with the rules of punting. Wherever the receiver is knocked down and his knee hits the ground, that's where the offense will start.
The special team of the training team came on the field, kicked the extra point, scored successfully, and temporarily led the third echelon with a score of "7:0"; then the special team completed the kickoff, and the football kicked out of the baseline, and the third echelon The receivers have no chance, they will start the offense at their own twenty yards.
Kevin, here we go again.
Back off the court, Lu Ke was not idle. The joy of the first touchdown quickly subsided. This practice match had just begun. One touchdown allowed them to ensure victory? This is an unrealistic idea. They need to attack, attack, and attack again!
Lu Ke summoned all his teammates on the offensive team and said, "The same situation will not happen again."
The first attack just now was the result of the right time, right place and the right people. If any link goes wrong, they will not be able to replicate the same result again because the risk of long passes is too great, especially because their cooperation is not tacit enough. in the case of. So, they need more tactics now.
"But, we still have the initiative!" Lu Ke encouraged his teammates, "As you can see, their cooperation is actually not very tacit, at least a little worse than us." The third echelon is not the first echelon after all. .
After experiencing the incredible long touchdown just now, the members of the offensive team of the training team were in high spirits, full of fighting spirit, and full of confidence. Lu Ke's words made them all chuckle.
"Now we have real swords and guns, there is no room for opportunism." Lu Ke glanced around his teammates, "Next, we need more cover..."
The reason why the quarterback is called the brains of the team is because he must memorize all the tactical manuals and even be familiar with defensive tactics. The quarterback is the only player on the entire football team who requires this. Especially on the field, in the blink of an eye, the coach cannot change the tactics, but the quarterback makes the decision.
The biggest advantage of the sparring team is that they are extremely familiar with every opponent, because they need to study the main players and substitute players, and then provide tactical sparring. But the official team members do not need and cannot study the tactics of the training team members. Therefore, the practice team knows exactly the habits and weaknesses of those players standing directly across from the offensive line.
Lu Ke began to assign tactics. For the quarterback, having enough observation time and passing time is the first element. In other words, the offensive line must block the impact of the opponent's defensive players, otherwise after the opponent breaks through the offensive line, the entire offense will It will fall apart.
No matter how top-notch a quarterback is, he is only one person after all. Two fists cannot defeat four hands, and it is impossible to win alone.
If they face the absolute main force of the first echelon, then the training team will have no chance. The overall gap in tactics and abilities cannot be made up even if they grit their teeth and try their best; but they are now facing the third team. Echelon, substitute for substitute, and their usual tactical rehearsals and coordination exercises are not much, which means that as long as Lu Ke observes carefully enough, he can find loopholes.
"F*ck!" Curses came from the field, interrupting the tactical discussion of Lu Ke and others. He turned around and looked at the field, and then saw the third echelon attacking to the midline, but failed to do so. If they continued to advance, it was obvious that a punt was needed again. Kevin's face was red, his ears were bulging with blue veins, he was roaring at his teammates, and he was furious.
Lu Ke took a deep breath and said, "Guys, it's our turn to play again."
However, this time the sparring team failed to show off its prowess. After the opponent's defensive players increased their concentration, the sparring team's offensive line struggled to organize an effective block. The first pass was interrupted, and Lu Ke was directly sacked. Ground - The so-called sack means that when the quarterback still holds the football, the opponent's defensive player forces the quarterback's knee to touch the ground or fall to the ground. Then, first of all, this offense means failure, and the next The snap will begin with the quarterback's knee touching the ground.
Then, in the second attack, they chose to run the ball and only advanced two yards; in the third attack, Lu Ke chose a mid-pass, but unfortunately he failed to succeed. In desperation, they had no choice but to abandon the kick.
The practice match then entered a chaotic mode, with neither team's offensive teams able to form an effective push, and the game entered a stalemate.
