American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 240 Tactical Game
The time came to ten o'clock in the morning, and with the increasingly enthusiastic cheers from the surrounding audience, the invitational tournament officially kicked off.

In the coin toss, Melford once again had good luck and got the right to attack first.

"In the first quarter, we will use the long and short ball tactics. Do you understand?" Before the game started, Coach George called the eleven members of the offensive team in front of him and gave instructions on the tactics later.

The long and short ball tactics that pay more attention to teamwork are a sign of a team's maturity.

When the power of this tactic can be used proficiently, it means that this team has become a strong team.

Coach George is also conscious of developing the abilities of other players in the team.After all, not every class can meet a player as talented as Mike.

To the average person, rugby is a team sport.Only when the overall strength of the players becomes stronger can the team go further.

"Understood~" Mike replied along with everyone.

With a super high IQ, he immediately guessed what Coach George was thinking.

"Very good, let's go~" Coach George watched the offensive team members come on stage, and he stayed on Mike for two more seconds.

This week, the team trained the most on the star tactics with Mike as the core, but now they used another mediocre set of tactics on the spot. Coach George was also a little worried about the opponent getting emotional.

On the other side, Captain Aaron, who went to the center of the field, also had the same worries as Coach George.

He whispered: "Mike, the coach should have his own considerations. Everyone knows your strength, and you will definitely have a chance to perform in a while."

"It doesn't matter, I'm also a member of the team." Mike looked calm and showed no dissatisfaction.

Although he didn't say it clearly, his meaning was obvious.As a member of the football team, he listens to his coach's orders.

Seeing Mike's reaction, Captain Aaron nodded happily, without saying anything.

……

beep—

When the players from both sides set up their formations in the midfield, the game whistle sounded immediately.

On the offensive end, after receiving the football from the kicker in the low post, Aaron on the quarterback threw the ball short to Mike behind the side without even thinking about it.

"Stop No. 23 and don't let him rush~"

Seeing Mike holding the ball, head coach Cotton of St. Mary's High School immediately became highly nervous and ordered his players to double-team.

Obviously this head coach still remembers the dual-core tactics of the Melford football team last year.

Having studied the weaknesses of this tactic before the game, he also asked the players to use local prevention and control tactics in a targeted manner.

It's just a pity that the Melford team is not using dual-core tactics now.

Taking advantage of the gap when the big man Michael and two opposing defenders stepped forward to double-team, Mike, who was holding the ball, immediately made a short throw back and threw the football back to Captain Aaron in front.

In just a short while, the other players in Melford's offensive team had already taken the opportunity to open up their formation.

When the head coach Cotton of St. Mary's High School on the sidelines once again shouted for his players to double-team Aaron.

The football was another long pass from Captain Aaron, which was thrown to the wide receiver who was standing very far forward.

"GO! GO!! GO!!!"

Accompanied by huge cheers from the audience outside the field, the Melford receiver, who was unguarded, lived up to expectations and rushed into the opponent's end zone with the ball.

Touchdown~

Melford scored +6,

"Well done! That's it~"

In the Melford dugout, Coach George shook his fist excitedly, and then cheered along with the audience.

Facts have proved that even without star players, the Melford football team has the potential to become a strong team.

Then, in the following additional scoring session, the Melford football team also relied on the strength of the team to score a touchdown again.

Melford scored +2,

The Melford football team, which scored 8 points in the first round of offense, had a perfect start despite a major lineup change.

The spectators who saw the new look of the school team felt reassured and cheered even harder.

Shouts, cheers, and whistles intertwined, making the scene a sea of ​​joy...

Later, during the exchange of ball rights, Sam led the defensive team on Melford's side and took over the game.

"How is this possible..." Looking at the changing situation on the field, head coach Cotton of St. Mary's High School showed a surprised look.

Any team that can form a defensive team is a strong team.

Coach Cotton also didn't expect that in just half a year, Melford would have formed his own defensive team.

In fact, as the goalkeeper of a strong team, St. Mary's High School has been considering forming its own defensive team for a long time, but it has always lacked a little bit of foundation.

Therefore, Coach Cotton is a little envious of George now.

"Okay, don't distract the kids. Follow the tactics we practiced before. Victory belongs to Saint Mary~"

After the envy, Coach Cotton didn't forget his job.Taking advantage of the gap before the attack, he loudly encouraged the players.

beep—

The buzzer sounds for the St. Mary's High School offensive possession.

The opposing quarterback, covered by the big man Michael, rushed toward Melford's end zone.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Sam was about to step forward to stop him, but was knocked to the ground by the big Michael.

Sam does have some talent in rugby, but compared with the top players, there is still a lot of room for growth.

Michael Oher, the big guy from St. Mary's High School, actually just joined the football team not long ago.

This big guy, who is taciturn and somewhat naive in life, unexpectedly showed his powerful talent on the rugby field.

Based on this, Coach Cotton came up with an offensive style that suited him.

The offensive tactics currently used by the St. Mary's football team can be regarded as variations of the star tactics and dual-core tactics.

Among them, the big Michael, as a star player and one of the core players, does not hold the ball, but uses his strong body and strong protective awareness to help his team's quarterback score points.

In this tactic, the big man Michael doesn't need to think, he just needs to follow and protect his quarterback.

It can be said that Coach Cotton, who can come up with this strange set of tactics based on the personal characteristics of the players, has a lot of coaching ability.

Subsequently, the St. Mary's football team also relied on this tactic to steadily score 8 points.

When the ball was exchanged again, Coach George looked at Sam who was replaced and looked frustrated, and comforted: "Don't be discouraged Sam, you have performed very well. We will also try the double-teaming tactic against the big guy later..."

In sports, the talent gap is really devastating.

During team training, Sam had been tortured countless times by Mike. As a result, in today's game, he was completely tortured by the opponent's big guy.

It seems that he is really unlucky.

Even if his opponent were a little normal, Sam wouldn't be as embarrassed as he is now.

On the other side, the game continues on the field.

Mike, who was on the offensive end, once again faced multiple double-teams from St. Mary's High School. Without any special tactical requirements, he leisurely led the opponent's defensive players in a circle near the midfield.

He was very successful in containing his opponents.

It wasn't until the football entered the opponent's backfield that Mike stopped and kindly reminded the big man in front of him: "You don't need to stare at me like that, the football is not here at all..."

As he spoke, he deliberately spread his hands to show that he was not a threat.

But in the face of his teasing, the big man Michael remained silent and continued to implement the man-marking tactics seriously.

Obviously, before the game, the instructions received by the big man Michael were probably to keep an eye on Mike throughout the game.

In a way this is true.

beep—

Just as Mike was once again taking the opposing defense in circles, the Melford football team completed the scoring.

At this time, Coach Cotton couldn't sit still. He seemed to realize that the Melford team had no intention of using a dual-core tactic so far.
