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

Chapter 49 Betting Training
At the end of the family gathering, Mike had thought of telling George the recipe for the secret barbecue.

It's just that realizing the contradiction between Grandma Connie and Coach George is not as simple as a secret recipe.

Therefore, Mike still decided to come back and ask Grandma Connie for advice.

"George is indeed a little angry with you." After Mike stated the facts, he persuaded: "You and George are a family, and I don't think you need to target him that much."

Judging from her previous actions, Grandma Connie’s performance this time was indeed a bit excessive.

As a family, George has been hardworking and uncomplaining over the years, shouldering the burden of the entire family on his own.

And he also took good care of the three children. From this point of view, he has no credit or hard work.

And there is really no need to cause family disharmony over a secret barbecue recipe.

"I knew that idiot would be angry." Grandma Connie smiled, not realizing the seriousness of the matter.

Then, she continued: "More than ten years ago, I discovered that he was very interested in my secret barbecue recipe. But I want him to understand that he can only get my things if I agree..."

Apparently, Grandma Connie was still very concerned about the behavior of George, a young gangster, who got on the bus first and then paid the fare.

Back then, when George made Mary's belly bigger and the two got married, they also failed to get Connie's grandma's blessing.

"For the secret recipe, George has already asked you for advice. I think he is very sincere this time." Regarding Cooper's family affairs, Mike did not get too entangled, and he continued his persuasion.

"No, this is not about a secret recipe. You don't understand, George is a thief." Grandma Connie shook her head, and then suggested: "How about we make a bet?"

"How?" Mike asked.

"Just bet...whether George will come to steal the secret recipe without my permission this week." Grandma Connie showed a profound expression, and said, "If George behaves normally this week, I will hand over the secret barbecue recipe to you personally. Give it to him, and apologize to him. How to bet or not?"

It can be seen that Grandma Connie, who loves to play, is very keen on gambling.

Mike thought for a moment and considered that if it was a week, his chances of winning should be very high.So he said: "Okay, I'll bet with you..."

"It's a deal~" Grandma Connie said with a smile: "If you lose, tell grandma how many girlfriends you have had."

As she spoke, Grandma Connie returned to her usual ungrateful appearance.

Obviously, she probably heard some rumors about Mike at school from little George.In addition, Mike rarely talked about his personal affairs at home, which aroused Grandma Connie's curiosity.

"This..." Mike hesitated, wanting to change his bet.

In essence, Mike is a "conservative" person, and he does not want to share his personal privacy with others.

"That's it." However, Grandma Connie didn't give Mike a chance to refuse. After she made sure to place the bet, she got up and walked towards the room.

When she reached the door, she stopped suddenly and said, "For the sake of fairness, you can't tell George about the bet, otherwise you will lose."

……

In the next few days, the school resumed normal classes.Only the football team gets the privilege to practice all day.

After Monday's game, Mike was promoted to the school's "star" with his outstanding performance.

Every time after class, many girls of all grades would come to the sidelines to watch his training.

There are even bolder girls who will "show love" to Mike in front of everyone.

As the frequency of such "shows of affection" increased, it became an unconventional feature of Melford Secondary School.

But compared to the increase in fame, Mike is a little unhappy now.

After a few days of training, he found that it was difficult for him to obtain physical attributes directly from the team members.

It seems that everyone has a threshold: just like Little Sheldon, it was easy for Mike to get intelligence attributes from him at the beginning.

However, slowly, it becomes more and more difficult to obtain attributes.

"Jingle bell~"

The class bell rang, and the girls reluctantly left the playground.

Mike, who was resting on the sidelines, returned to training as the girls left.

At this time, a middle-aged man carrying a camera at the school gate was walking towards the playground.

This person is Jack from the local TV station. Today, he shaved off the stubble on his lips and had his Mediterranean hairstyle specially styled. His overall mental outlook looks much better.

"Hi, Jack, you're here again." Coach George greeted Jack warmly when he saw him arriving.

Excluding Monday's game, this is the second time that Jack has come to the school to watch the crowd training this week.

"I'm going to shoot some more material for Mike. When he becomes a big star in the future, this will be his personal special." Jack smiled and expressed his intention.

Obviously, Jack is very optimistic about Mike, and he bet his performance this quarter on him.

Coach George is not disgusted with Jack's behavior. In his opinion, the other party's promotion of Mike is equivalent to promoting the school's football team.

After Jack set up the camera position, Coach George cleverly called Mike over who was doing confrontation training on the equipment.

Then, he looked around the field, skipping Sam, and called Captain Aaron over.

"Aaron, put on the protective gear, and have a confrontation drill with Mike." Coach George said.

Dry training on the equipment, there is no such thing as a real person's fierce confrontation.

Aaron is so red-blooded that he has been treated as a tool by the coach.

"That... Coach, I'm a little uncomfortable today..." Aaron resisted when he knew his fate.

Since his physique exceeded one hundred and fifty, Mike has developed in the direction of being an inappropriate person.For ordinary people like Aaron, confrontation training is masochism.

"There are so many words, hurry up and prepare." Coach George saw Aaron's careful thinking and did not give the other party a chance to refuse.

In fact, Coach George also has his own plans in mind. He knows that Aaron has a dream of playing professionally.

Now I just have the opportunity to be on TV. Even if it is used as a background board, it will definitely have a lot of benefits for Aaron's future career path.

"For a while, remember to be gentle..." Aaron begged in a low voice when he passed by Mike.

"I'll try my best~" Mike put on his helmet with a kind smile.

After both of them were ready, Coach George acted as the referee and issued an offensive command:
"Start~"

Following the order, Aaron lowered his center of gravity while running and accelerating, stretching his arms forward, trying to hug Mike's waist.

He knew that his own strength was no longer a match for Mike. He did not seek victory in this confrontation, but only hoped to entangle the opponent so that his defeat would not be so ugly.

In the view of Mike, who has third-level football experience, Aaron's confrontation was full of loopholes.

The moment the two came into contact, Mike pushed away the opponent's hands, turned sideways and used inertia to throw Aaron away.

In this confrontation, Mike used all his skills and didn't put in much effort.

"Aaron, don't think so much. Your goal is to bring down your opponent." Coach George said to Aaron who just got up.

In his opinion, Aaron is good in every aspect as a captain, but his personality is too gentle, and to put it bluntly, he lacks offensiveness.

This is not a good thing for Aaron, who is aiming for a career.

"Come again! Let me see your determination~" Coach George encouraged.

"Okay!" Aaron also knew the weaknesses of his character. This time he seemed to draw strength from the coach's encouragement, and his eyes slowly became firm.

"Wait a minute, I will do my best." When Aaron passed by Mike, he said again: "Please also do your best, I want to see how far the gap between me and you is."

Seeing the fighting eyes of the other party, Mike nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Start~"

With another order, Aaron put aside his distractions.He picked up his speed, turned his body slightly, and wanted to fight his opponent once, head-to-head like a real man.

However, in Mike's view, Aaron, who was seeking to take the initiative to attack this time, showed more flaws.

At the moment when the two collided at high speed, Mike shrank his body and his center of gravity quickly lowered.

When the shoulder touched the opponent's abdomen, Mike's core strength was activated instantly, and the whole person suddenly went up.

"OMG~"

Following the exclamation of the team members, Aaron drew a beautiful arc and fell heavily to the ground.

On Mike's side, it was equivalent to completing an alternative over-the-shoulder fall.

This is a perfect display of strength and skill.

"Are you okay, how do you feel?" Mike knew how strong he was, and hurried over to help Aaron who fell to the ground.

"I'm fine~" Aaron smiled wryly and shook his head.

Sometimes the gap between people cannot be bridged through hard work.In particular, Mike or Aaron watched and grew up little by little.

This also made Aaron feel powerless.

Coach George was also shocked by the intensity of this confrontation. He quickly came over to check on Aaron and found that the opponent was not injured.

Then, he patted Aaron on the shoulder happily and encouraged: "Well done, go and take a rest."

In this round of confrontation, although Aaron's performance was unsatisfactory, Coach George saw a surge of momentum in him.

This is a good start for Aaron.
