Chapter 69 Advancing to the top ten
Within the reasonable collision zone, as long as you are not running to intentionally injure someone, foul regulations will rarely be triggered.

What's more, in this round, Mike was on the passive defensive side and his movements were considered clean.

The referee who was paying attention here also looked away after seeing the big guy getting up after being thrown away like a normal person.

At the scene, except for Coach Cotton who was protesting on the sidelines, no one else thought there was a problem with Mike's defense.

With Oher being completely restrained by Mike, and with the state top ten in sight, the other Melford Middle School players also showed their tenacious side.

In the fierce confrontation, the quarterback of Saint Mary's College was intercepted in the middle position by Captain Aaron, and there was even a slight tendency of being forced back.

beep—

The Saint Mary's College quarterback was holding the ball and was knocked down by a steady stream of opponents.He kept the football tightly under his body. While keeping the ball, he also lost the opportunity to attack.

Later, after both sides adjusted their positions, St. Mary's College kicked off again and launched a second attack.

Mike found Oher again in the second gear of the opponent's attack.After some probing, he chose to slam into his opponent this time.

"Bang~" There was a violent collision, accompanied by exclamations from the audience outside the venue.

The two tackles fought together, and the competition for strength began.

It can be clearly felt that in this wrestling, Auch, who is behind the hand, is stronger than Mike in terms of strength.

However, Mike relied on his extraordinary skills to jam his elbows between the opponent's ribs and upper arms, making it difficult for the opponent to exert force.

For a while, the two were evenly matched.

During this brief confrontation, Mike also estimated that Oher's physical fitness should be between 180 and 200.

Of course, this is just Mike's guess, and depending on the situation, Oher has not yet learned to use this power.

On the other side, without Oher's cover, the Saint Mary's College quarterback was stopped again.

Obviously, without the big man to open the way, St. Mary's College's rushing tactics have lost the power it should have.

At this moment, the center of the Melford football team got out of his free space and chose to come over to help Mike.

Next, under the attack of the center and Mike, Oher was decisively knocked to the ground.

beep—

The quarterback of Saint Mary's College once again lost another offensive opportunity because he was forced to stop for too long.

As St. Mary's College's offense stopped again, Coach Cotton on the sidelines also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Watch Oher fall down near the sideline again and do nothing on this offense.Coach Cotton also appealed to the referee again: "Hey, my players were treated roughly, didn't you see it? Their behavior has already constituted a defensive foul!"

Coach Cotton wants to use the method of looking for fouls from the opponent to get another chance for his team to attack in fourth gear.

However, the referee glanced at the strong Oher and shook his head slightly, indicating that Melford's defense did not commit a foul this time.

One thing to mention here is that because of the strong confrontational nature of rugby, the head referee of each game will also adjust his penalty standards based on the actual situation on the field.

If it is a thin player, he is knocked down by two opponents.Most referees may appropriately give the opponent a foul penalty depending on the situation.

It's just that Oher's body is too strong, and the conditions for him to trigger the opponent's foul will naturally increase accordingly.

In the case of whether the judgment can be judged or not, Oher did not win the sympathy points of the referee in this field.

At this time, Melford Middle School could still think that asking Mike to intercept Oher was indeed a clever move.

When Coach Cotton realized the seriousness of the problem, it was already too late to change his tactics.

Under this situation, if Saint Mary's College still wants to win, the key lies in whether Oher can use his physical advantages to continue to help his quarterback and score efficiently in the next game.

In some ways, St. Mary's College's hope of winning now rests entirely on Oher.

Seeing Oher getting up, Coach Cotton reminded anxiously: "Michael, don't get entangled with your opponent. Your task is to protect the quarterback."

At this time, the two Mikes were standing very close. Before the big Michael could answer, Mike Quinn looked sideways and asked in a suspicious tone, "Coach, are you talking to me?"

Coach Cotton, who knew the opponent's information in advance, of course knew that there was also a Mike in the opponent's formation.

Just listening to Mike's teasing tone on the 21st, Coach Cotton was very speechless and expressed that he did not want to talk to the other party.

Big Mike's naive face also showed an anxious look.Of course he also wanted to help his quarterback rush and score, but his opponent stuck to him like candy, making it impossible for him to get away.

beep—

The buzzer sounded for St. Mary's College's third-down offense.

The St. Mary's College quarterback who should have continued to charge was once again blocked behind the center line after the whistle sounded.

The Melford players, who had benefited from the previous two rounds of defense, chose to take the initiative when the opponent attacked in the third gear.

In the continuous frontal impact, the quarterback of Saint Mary's College holding the football was forced to retreat little by little.

Melford's team's tactics at the moment were more like a wolf pack tactic that gave up the retreat and only focused on the attack.

Such an aggressive style of play also made the audience outside the court shout continuously.

If this continues, the high-powered Melford Middle School is likely to score a safety score in the opponent's fourth offensive attack.

Coach Cotton, who couldn't sit still, saw the team's disadvantages getting bigger and bigger, so he couldn't help shouting to Oher: "Michael, what are you waiting for, the team needs you~"

Infected by the coach's emotions, Oher's eyes instantly became fierce.He faced Mike, who was defending on the opposite side, and rushed over.

At this moment, he gave up thinking, he just wanted to knock his opponent away and join his teammates.

Feeling the opponent's determination, Mike did not think about passive defense this time.

Physics tells us that momentum depends on speed and mass.

So, Mike also increased his speed and rushed towards his opponent.

"Bang~"

With exclamations, the two Mikes fell to the ground.

beep—

Until the end of St. Mary's College's third offensive time, the two Mikes on the sideline in the left half failed to get up.

The coaches from both sides saw something was wrong and all ran over.

"Mike, how are you?" Coach George asked worriedly, already regretting letting Mike guard the opponent's big man.

"It's okay, it's just a bit boring~" After Mike took a breath, he climbed up holding his chest, feeling that his head was still dizzy.

In the violent collision just now, if it weren't for the protective gear to absorb the shock, Mike was sure that he would have broken at least two ribs.

I have to say that the strength of the big guy on the opposite side is really powerful.

On the other side, the big man Oher tried several times but couldn't get up.One of his arms was hanging limply and twisted.

Tears slid down his face along with sweat.

Coach Cotton, who noticed that the players were injured, quickly called the team doctor.

After examination, Oher's right arm was misaligned from the shoulder and needed bone setting and repair in time.

"I'm sorry, coach. I failed your expectations..." Oher was lying on the stretcher, with remorse and unwillingness on his face.

"It's okay Michael, you've done a great job." Coach Cotton comforted the big guy and said, "This is just a game. When you recover from your injury, we will come back next year."

Just at this moment, little Sean and his parents, who were holding a SLR, also came to the sidelines, and they simultaneously spoke out to comfort Oher.

Finally, accompanied by Xiao Xiaon's family, Oher went to the rear for treatment.

As Oher was injured and left the field, the referee looked aside in surprise. For a while, Mike was like a normal person.

Then, he pulled out the yellow scarf and gave Mike a defensive foul.

Both coaches had no objections to this penalty.

The actual situation is that with the withdrawal of St. Mary's College Oher, the penalty this time has no impact on the result of the game.

Because of the previous rounds of confrontation, half of the fourth quarter has passed.

A gap of 6 points and [-] minutes of chasing time.

Without Oher, even if St. Mary's College was given an extra chance to attack in the fourth gear, Coach Cotton could not think of any way for the team to win.

Next, when Melford Middle School no longer had the pressure to win, Coach George also took Mike off the field at the right time.

beep—

As the game continued, St. Mary's College on the offensive end switched back to the original four, three, and four formation.

Coach Cotton's tactical change was not to win, but to prevent the team from losing so ugly in the last minute.

However, the high-spirited Melford Middle School did not give their opponents a chance. They relied on fierce confrontation to score a safety score on the defensive end.

43:30
The total score was rewritten again.

beep—

As the buzzer sounded throughout the game, Melford Middle School took a big lead and advanced to the top ten of the state.

After the victory, Captain Aaron excitedly came to the sidelines and pulled Michael up, and went to the middle of the field together to accept the cheers of the crowd.
