Chapter 115 What is a macho
March NO.19, Stanford University Football Stadium.

Although it was early spring, the temperature in San Francisco was high enough for players to play in short sleeves.The Mediterranean climate is like this, coupled with the high humidity in the Bay Area, since March, the vegetation has sprouted, and the spring is full of vigor, creating a vibrant scene between heaven and earth.

In the home court of the red and white team, hundreds of students and some die-hard fans with front row season tickets are taking their seats one after another. Bill Ferrari, who is in charge of arranging the students' support and the cheerleading halftime performance, told the students in the sports department to finish all the After the incident, he rushed to the center of the court in an emergency.

One month after the start of his sophomore year last year, he was elected as the chairman of the Culture and Sports Department, so he couldn't refuse many things. In order to successfully run for the student government president in his junior year, he must also ensure that the Culture and Sports Department does a good job.

Today's game is a popular friendly match in the off-season, and the away team is the USC Troy team from Los Angeles.

There are generally two reasons for holding a friendly match. One is that the coaching staff feels that the offensive and defensive drills within the team are not enough to allow the offensive and defensive teams to make a breakthrough, so they find a strong team to defeat a big game, which will serve as a wake-up call; The teams exchange experience with each other, which plays a role in running in and maintaining the feel of playing.

The cause of this game is a bit different. The Troy team is purely for John Wirth, the captain of the red and white team.

After the top quarterback in the college league won the No.2 of the three-man list of the Heizman Award and the Walter Kemp Award, he has become a popular candidate for the No. [-] pick in the draft camp.

As early as early January, TV media led by ABC Sports and CBS Sports had already begun to predict the NFL draft market this year. Although John Wirth failed to win the Heizman Award, most commentators and commentators believed that he His strength is worthy of the Heizman Award, and it is even easier to win the No. [-] pick in the NFL. Mike Rozier, who won the Heitzman Award, has much lower voices.

The NFL’s new league year usually starts in mid-to-late March, followed by intense preparations for the draft camp. John Wirth, the favorite of the No. Thinking of sharpening their own team, the USC coaching staff flew to San Francisco with all members to play such a friendly match.

There is also a reason for choosing the Stanford University football stadium. The two Parker Ten league members in Los Angeles, UCLA and USC, are notoriously poor in security. Although Stanford has no campus, the security in the vicinity is quite good.

Thanks to the fact that the Stanford football school team has always been a top team, it was the top six in the country at its peak, and the perennial high income has allowed the football field to be repaired better than that of Southern California. There are even NFL championship games, and the Super Bowl is held here. Records, so as soon as the team managers tallied up, the game started at the red and white team's home court.

Naturally, there were no TV stations to broadcast the games in the non-regular games and playoff invitational games. Even the audience was only some students and season ticket owners who called to notify them, but Bill was very interested in playing.The reason is simple. With the blessing of John Wirth, the strength of the two teams is quite different. The red and white teams played against USC with ease.

"You are the tight end that Joe Montana said, and you look average. Did the superstar Joe miss it?"

When members of the two teams shook hands with each other, the left tackle of the Troy team's offensive team suddenly made a mockery of No. 88 who was passing by him immediately.

After Bill shook hands with his previous player, his right hand was bitten together with the right hand of this person like iron tongs, "And you, my friend, don't even have the chance to be misled by a superstar, because you don't even have his eyes Can't get in."

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the offensive players of the two teams to appear on the court at the same time, so this kind of activity before and after the game is the moment when the two are closest.

It seems that Joe Montana's mention of the new generation of players on the show has a good effect, and even the members of the USC school team remember their names.

The left tackle showed no intention of letting go, and seemed ready to teach No. 88 a lesson during the handshake phase.

But Mr. Ferrari is not a vegetarian either. The strength of his hands is recognized by the whole team, and the two started a contest on this.

Originally, members of the two teams lined up in a long queue, and the home team stood still to shake hands with the players of the visiting team. After the two of them did this, the players behind the Troy team had to stop, and several assistant coaches from both sides even came out to see what was going on. , and then report the situation to their respective coaches.

The atmosphere of the friendly match was relaxed, and the behavior of the two players did not violate the rules of the court, so everyone waited for the result for a while, hoping that their players would win the contest, and some players even cheered for their teammates.

"Let's separate, let's separate! If you don't separate again, I will give you a yellow card."

After 3 minutes passed, the referee who couldn't wait ran over to let No. 88 of the red and white team shake hands with No. 63 of the Troy team.

At this time, Bill's hand had turned purple, and several fingerprints appeared on the back of the hand. The left tackle was not much better, maybe because his skin was already dark, and his right hand looked even more miserable.

"My teammates will teach you that being famous is not a good thing."

Before the person took a step, he said another trash talk.

If the referee hadn't gone far, Bill was convinced that the left tackle would be able to spit out words such as bitch and F***.

"Maybe I'll learn my lesson, but you won't even be named."

It seemed that the man resented his fame, so Bill poked him again.

After the handshake, the captains of the two sides guessed coins and fought for the ball. The Troy team got the ball.

The members of the offensive team are moving slightly at this time to maintain their warm-up state.John Wirth walks into 88, "What did that fat man say to you?"

"He said he wants me to look good and let his teammates teach me a lesson."

Bill answered truthfully.

"There was no conflict between you two before? Why did he target you specifically?" The captain wanted to understand this matter.

Mr. Ferrari pointed to the enemy left tackle on the field, "I played a Parker Ten regular season game with him before, and we haven't played at the same time. I took off the jersey and protective gear, and I didn't even see his face. Can’t remember. Probably because he was jealous that I was selected to the All-Parker Ten team and that Joe Montana mentioned my name on a few shows.”

John patted his teammates' hard and thick arms like tree trunks, "Then let's cooperate well this time and give them an unforgettable lesson in this life."

Not making it to the Rose Bowl this year made him feel something was missing. He hadn't played a serious game since January, and ended his college experience with a disastrous defeat at USC.

"I will go straight to their end zone and let them know what a macho is." With the captain's promise, Bill's morale has been further enhanced, and he can't wait to see the B face of the left tackle.

The red and white team's defense team is very strong. In their own half, the first three blocks of the Troy team did not advance ten yards. After implementing the punt tactic, the two sides restarted the offensive and defensive lines at 22 yards out of the red and white team's half.

When Xiaobu ran past the captain, John purposely gave a high five to his teammate who was provoked by the enemy.If nothing else, tight end will be the main target of his passing in the following offense.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
