The role skill test has come to an end, but Lu Ke still hasn't figured out an idea: This is a rookie training camp, not an in-team practice of the Bruins. How should the training match be triggered? After being triggered, how should he become the quarterback in training games? More importantly, there is no detailed explanation in the special mission. If there is no training match, the system should not trigger the mission.
Lu Ke couldn't help but start to think about what happened when the special mission was triggered?
"Everyone, pay attention!" Joe's voice rang, and Kip, Carl and several other coaches came up with serious expressions. "We will now hold a small training match. A seven-on-seven game, with one offensive team playing against the other. A defensive group, this is considered a matchup. This is not a formal game, so we do not calculate it based on the completion of ten yards on four offenses in the game. Each set of matches, ten offenses, and finally look at the number of yards advanced, and The performance of each player in offense and defense."
Joe's words made the rookies look at each other, excited and nervous at the same time. This sudden training match may become a stage for them to show themselves, but it may also become a nightmare that ruins them——
There is no training, tacit understanding, or cooperation between the rookies. They are just rushing to the top, relying on their sense of competition and instinct, and relying on their own talents and abilities to start a duel. The problem is here, rugby is a sport that requires coordination. In football, there may be a magical performance of riding a thousand miles alone, and in basketball, there may be a dominant performance of one-on-three scoring, but in rugby, it is impossible.
Amidst the buzzing and noisy discussion, an idea flashed in Lu Ke's mind: when the special task was triggered, it was just after he completed the extreme long-pass challenge required by his coach! Does this mean that this impromptu training match is likely to be closely related to him, and the coaches want to further examine his passing ability?
This kind of speculation is really outrageous. The most indispensable thing in the rookie training camp is rookies. How could the coaching staff temporarily increase training games just for a rookie? But no matter what, Lu Ke knew that this was not only another stage to prove himself, but also a special task waiting for him to complete!
"If you have any questions, just raise them directly and don't discuss them in private!" Joe shouted, looking around, and sure enough he saw a rookie quarterback hesitantly raising his right hand. Joe raised his chin and gave a Indicative eyes.
The rookie raised his voice and asked, "What if the touchdown is completed before the tenth offensive period? For example, the sixth or seventh offensive period."
Joe looked back, and the other coaches all showed joking smiles: They were just guessing whether the rookie quarterback would raise this question. Now it seems that there are quite a few arrogant quarterbacks this year. It’s great to be young!
"Then, this is a shame for defensive players." Joe said with a smile, looking back at the defensive players standing on the sidelines waiting for the test. The offensive coach and the defensive coach were always at odds with each other, "Also, , this is allowed. If a quarterback can complete a touchdown with one pass, this is also your ability. If this happens, the game will be terminated immediately."
As soon as the words fell, the quarterbacks began to beam with joy: The offensive team did not cooperate with each other tacitly, and similarly, the defensive team did not cooperate with each other tacitly. As long as you seize an opportunity, a loophole, and kill with one blow, you will truly steal the show!
But Joe's words immediately brought the heated atmosphere to a freezing point, "Similarly, if the pass is intercepted by the opponent's defensive player, the game will be terminated immediately." This sentence grabbed the throats of the quarterbacks. , the noise and discussion disappeared instantly.
A fatal long pass also means a sharp increase in the risk of interceptions.
This is like a long pass in a football match. The ball flies high, which means that the target is exposed, and the offensive players and defensive players have equal opportunities to grab the ball. However, in football, even if the opponent grabs the ball, they can counterattack at any time, and the direction of the ball is the opponent's half. Even if there is a mistake, it is difficult for the opponent to immediately launch a counterattack; but in rugby, the opponent has completed the counterattack. If intercepted, the possession of the ball will be terminated immediately.
In this training game, if the first pass is intercepted, it will be really embarrassing and will be lost to grandma's house, and there will be no possibility of follow-up. So, how should quarterbacks choose?
This is a contest between the offense and the defense, but it is also a contest between players at the same position, especially the quarterback!
Twenty-one quarterbacks, each with a look of eagerness on their faces. Perhaps, in the professional league, facing those experienced veterans, they may still need to learn slowly and make up for the gap; but in the rookie training camp, it is actually the NCAA game, and they are naturally gearing up. I look forward to being able to kill everyone and prove my ability again.
There is no doubt that Cam Newton is the first choice among quarterbacks. This year's Heisman Trophy winner has the most direct and powerful affirmation of his strength - the selection of the Heisman Trophy does not distinguish between positions. , every player on the field is eligible to participate, so the strength and reputation of the winners are considered to be the highest in the NCAA.
Cam raised his chin high and looked at Lu Ke with disdain and teasing. His twinkling eyes were like a cat holding a mouse tightly. He was not in a hurry to end the mouse's life directly, but slowly and slowly. , Played and played happily, suddenly let go, and suddenly caught, enjoying the process of the mouse's hard struggle.
"You are dead."
This was the meaning in Cam's eyes. Lu Ke knew it clearly, but he was not timid at all. He sneered and raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "Come here. Who will win, we don't know yet." That provocative look, Cam couldn't help but clenched his fists.
After retracting his gaze, Lu Ke's heartbeat began to accelerate. It's one thing not to admit defeat in terms of momentum; it's another thing in reality.
Lu Ke clearly knows his own weight. Those who can participate in the rookie training camp are all players with outstanding strength and ability in the NCAA. Among them, more than 250 players will officially enter the league, and then officially Dividing players into professional and non-professional, or in other words, professional and amateur, there is no need to go into details about how big the gap is between them.
Therefore, this training game and these ten offenses are far more difficult than the USC game and the Rose Bowl game. What's more, special tasks still require hands-free completion, which also means that if he is negligent or slack at all, he will have to take the lead.
After just a moment of exchange of glances, Joe's voice came over again, "Karl, how about you start first?" This training match is considered a one-on-one match between the offensive coach and the defensive coach. They will not directly guide tactics, but the challenge is their vision of player combinations.
Carl Smith, the quarterback coach of the Seattle Seahawks, walked up, glanced around, and then said loudly, "Cam Newton." Behind him, other coaches and scouts booed and complained. Choosing Cam is the most effortless decision, with no technical content at all.
Carr, however, was nonchalant and yelled, "Jealous!" to the Carolina Panthers' quarterback coach, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.
After watching Karl's selection, Joe folded his hands on his chest and said, "Select one by one, just like a draft. Why don't we just rush forward and pick, just like rushing for goods in the second-hand market?" Those teasing words made people laugh. Continuing, he then said, "Then I'll choose first. Anyway, I'm sure you won't have any objections. Lu Ke."
……who?
Lu Ke! Countless eyes were cast on Joe - the first one chose Cockham, the second one chose Lu Ke. Is this a mock draft? If it was true, then Qiao's choice was enough to shock everyone, but Qiao shrugged nonchalantly, "I told you, you won't have any objections." Without explaining the reasons for his choice, Qiao just remained calm. He waved calmly, "Young man, come here, let's go select the offensive line and receiving team."
One is the biggest favorite for the No. 1 pick, and the other is a name I heard for the first time in the rookie training camp. Cam and Lu Ke can be said to be worlds apart, but in the training match, the two of them unintentionally became the center of attention, again and again. What's more, the quarterback coach who chose Lu Ke was Joe Lombardi from the New Orleans Saints, a top student in the league in coaching quarterbacks. Could it be that this Chinese-American quarterback really has any potential? Worth digging?
Not only coaches and scouts, but also other quarterbacks couldn't help but cast curious glances. Even if this isn't a real draft, Joe's selection is intriguing.
Lu Ke suppressed the turmoil deep in his heart and trotted to keep up with Qiao's pace. Countless pairs of eyes were projected over him, full of scorching temperature, and gradually fell behind him, and finally became quiet.
Joe didn't communicate anything with Lu Ke. He just walked silently across the court, came to the other half, and began to select players to receive the ball.
A seven-on-seven game, this is a quarterback's passing training. The training lineup includes a quarterback and three offensive linemen (a center, a left guard, and a right guard). Two wide receivers and one tight end. Compared with the complete eleven, the offensive line lacks two wings and running backs. To put it simply, it is actually a complete passing tactical training.
Of course, the test for the offensive and defensive fronts is also more stringent. At the same time, the confrontation between the receiving players and the defensive players is also more direct, and every position is extremely severe.
However, among this year's rookies, there are only six centers, and the number of tackles and guards is also unequal; the number of cornerbacks far exceeds that of other positions. Therefore, when selecting an offensive team, each player's position may be slightly different, which is a more severe test for the coach's vision.
In the end, Joe quickly completed the selection of seven players!
