Chapter 65 A Difficult Game

beep—

The offensive whistle sounded again.

The quarterback of St. Mary's College was not in a hurry to organize an offense. He held the football and gave a few gestures to his teammates, and the players immediately dispersed after receiving the instructions.

This set of positions suddenly looked a bit like an infiltration tactic.

It's just that the quarterback of St. Mary's College did not attack in vain. Instead, when faced with a press, he distributed the ball to the supporting players on the side.

Then, when the player encounters an obstruction, return the ball to the quarterback again.

What stands out about this set of four, three, and four tactics is that he is steady and has teammates around him to support him at all times.The disadvantage is that the advancement speed is extremely slow and the viewing quality is extremely poor.

Not long after, the audience, fed up with St. Mary's College's weak attack, began to curse, and each of them transformed into an elegant and easy-going Zaunite.

What you watch when you watch football is the passionate confrontation between the two sides.St. Mary's College's steady style of play is naturally unsatisfactory.

beep—

Just when there was a boring tug-of-war on the court and the audience was about to lose their patience, the referee blew the foul whistle and signaled an offensive foul on No. 74 of St. Mary's College.

Michael Oher, No. 74 of St. Mary's College, is tall and tall, but his intelligence is only [-].

He just joined the rugby team not long ago, and he couldn't adapt to the players' running needs at all.

In the tactical execution of St. Mary's College just now, Michael Oher was squeezed out by Melford's players and became a marginal player, which did not show any usefulness.
In order to live up to the expectations of the coach and his family, the one-sided Auch directly grabbed an opponent's shoulder and threw him to the ground in a hurry.

This is a regular offensive foul.

"Calm down, Michael~ You just need to do your own thing and cover the quarterback..." Coach Cotton of St. Mary's College on the sidelines, seeing Oher's foul, reminded him anxiously.

Obviously, although Oher's physical fitness is overwhelming, Coach Cotton did not find and use his method.

beep—

As the whistle sounded for St. Mary's College's second offense, the field once again entered a boring time for pulling.

Seeing that St. Mary's College still adopted the original tactics, the audience off the court cursed words such as "soft guy" and "coward".

beep—

No. 74 once again received an offensive foul.

This time, Oher did stand in front of his own quarterback.Seeing someone stepping forward to press him, he directly put a Melford player on his shoulder.

This is a mistake that no novice will make, and the scene is very funny.

"Michael~ push, push the opponent away..." Coach Cotton was really anxious this time. He shouted while showing Oher how to push people away.

On the sidelines, little Sean, who was about to take a wonderful shot of Michael Oher, covered his eyes speechlessly.

Oher's rugby knowledge is taught by him, and now the opponent's performance on the field makes him a little ashamed.

Especially before, he had issued a challenge letter to another Mike.

His parents, standing behind him, were also anxious about Oher's performance.

Among them, the blond mother Lee Anne Tausi shouted excitedly to Coach Cotton: "You wasted Michael's talent, you should let the quarterback score the touchdown. Michael will protect himself like he protects his family." teammates.

He just needs a chance..."

Coach Cotton still didn't believe in Oher's ability. He tilted his head as if he didn't hear what Leigh Anne said.

Then, he gestured to the players on the field, indicating that they should continue to use the original tactics.

beep—

St. Mary's College third gear offense.

This time, Oher, who was wearing jersey No. 74, did not dare to make other moves.

Like a child at a loss what to do, he was walking in circles on the court.Then, he was knocked to the ground by Melford's players.

beep—

Oher lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

"Michael~" Seeing her child being bullied, Li Anne rushed to the sidelines despite her husband's dissuasion, shouting: "Stand up, Michael~"

After Oher got up as if nothing happened, Leanne continued to shout excitedly to the quarterback of St. Mary's College: "You should attack and score a touchdown, and Michael will protect you. He has the ability to help the team win... …”

"Ma'am, please get out of here!"

Seeing Li Anne trying to influence the game, the referee immediately came over and persuaded her to leave.

"Korton, say something~" Li Anne was still shouting loudly after being sent back to her husband.

St. Mary's College has used three offensive opportunities, but because the tactics are too stable, the football has only advanced more than four yards.

Now the problem lies in front of Coach Cotton, whether to choose to give up the kick, or to continue the original tactics.

Obviously, the original tactics have been proven to be ineffective.

Listening to Leigh Anne's shouts, Coach Cotton decided to go crazy again.

Using a timeout, he called Oher to him, looked him in the eye, and asked, "Michael, can I trust you?"

"Yes, coach. You can trust me." With the encouragement of his family, a trace of determination appeared on Oher's honest face.

"Very good, Michael. No matter what happens on the field, I just need you to protect the quarterback." Coach Cotton said his request.

Then, he called the quarterback in front of him and gave him the instruction for an offensive touchdown.

beep—

The game started again, and this time the quarterback of Saint Mary's College suddenly rushed forward with the football in his arms.

Beside him, a tall figure was following him.

As a left winger, Oher's duty is to protect the quarterback and help the quarterback remove all obstacles.

Although Oher didn't understand the complicated tactics, he remembered that Leigh Anne told him to protect his teammates like his family.

With this concept in mind, Oher rampaged all the way on the offensive side, after hitting and flying several players who were blocked by Melford.He led his quarterback into Melford's end zone.

Finally, St. Mary's College's tough attack this time won a little approval from the audience outside the court.

Many people also had a changed view of the big man Oher and gave him sparse applause.

Compared to St. Mary's College's excitement, Coach George on the sidelines frowned as he stared at the opponent's strong No. 74.

Sure enough, this number 74 is not simple.

And when Oher took his own quarterback and scored another touchdown five yards outside the end zone to tie the score, Coach George finally couldn't sit still.

He looked to the side, Sam, who had not played in two rounds, and asked: "Sam, if I let you play now, can you contain the opponent's No. 74?"

Sam used to be the team's running back, but he's been on the bench since Mike came on and took his place.

That's the way it is with high school football teams, the strong ones take over and the weak take the back seat.
