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

End of Chapter 97 (continued)

As the game progressed, in order to bite the score, Mike used too many individual rushes.

According to incomplete statistics, in the second and third quarters, he knocked down opponents no less than ten times in the charge.

The audience is very happy to see this super offensive style of play.However, this high-intensity style of play is now testing Mike's physical strength.

It is still too much for Mike at this stage to drag a team forward by himself.

Mike, who was about to be physically exhausted at this moment, also deeply understood what Coach George said: Football is a team sport.

At the midfield line, Mike, who was holding the football, tried to break through twice more. When he found that he could not break through the opponent's double-team, he looked at Sam on the side line.

At this time, Sam also wanted to stand up and help the team.However, the opponent's two linemen are closely watching him from left to right, so that he can't find a gap to catch the ball.

Realizing that there was no offensive opportunity on the side line, Mike immediately set his sights on the entire field.

Then, he was in the opponent's back row again and saw George Jr. who was running well.

Before he had time to think about it, when the stoppage time was about to expire, Mike once again sent the football to George Jr. with a short pass with a high parabola.

Little George, who received the ball, reacted quickly this time, and rushed towards the opponent's backcourt with the football in his arms.

However, frontal attack is not George Jr.'s strong point. Before he could run far after holding the ball, he was knocked down by the opposing security guard who was specifically watching him.

"NO, NO, NO..."

Melford's second attack was blocked again. Coach George, who saw that Mike was impatient, shouted loudly: "Don't worry, slow down. We still have time..."

Indeed, according to the general situation, after Austin entered the fourth quarter, the lead in scoring was not enough for them to seal the victory.As long as Melford keeps his pace, there are plenty of opportunities to counterattack.

However, Mike, who is on the field, has a better understanding of the situation.If you start a tug-of-war with the opponent now, it is tantamount to slow suicide against Melford.

So Mike, who was holding the ball again, had only one thought in his mind, and that was: rush~
With Mike's efforts again, the competition on the court became fierce again.

But still the same sentence, how can the strength of one person compare to the energy of an entire team.

During the fast-paced offensive transition that followed, Mike slowly became powerless.The score was no surprise, being pulled further and further by the Austin team.

beep—

As the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Mike also stopped his footsteps.At this time, his face was covered with sweat, as if he had been washed with water.

79:65
Melford fell behind by a large margin and lost the game.This also indicates that they have ended their summer league tour this year.

Looking at the score on the scoreboard, the members of Melford also showed unwilling expressions on their faces.

Obviously they have a strong teammate like Mike, if they work harder, maybe the ending of this game will be different.

……

At this time, the audience outside the stadium also gave warm applause for this wonderful game.

Although in terms of overall strength, Melford is still far behind, but Mike's tenacious fighting spirit has won the favor of many audiences.

"Man, your performance today is great. I look forward to another game next year..." Austin's quarterback approached Mike after the game.

It can be seen that Mike's strong strength conquered his opponents in this game.

However, to lose is to lose.

Mike, who was not in the mood, said a few perfunctory words to the opponent, and followed his teammates down the field.

"Boys, you have done a good job. Don't be discouraged. We still have a chance next year..." Coach George, who was standing on the sidelines, encouraged the players who were leaving the field one by one.

Then, Coach George went to the center of the arena to shake hands with the opposing head coach.

"I am very happy to have such a wonderful match with your team. I look forward to next year, and we will have the opportunity to play against each other again." Austin's head coach said with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to it too~" Coach George shook his hand politely with a cold face.

Obviously, Coach George was still a little dissatisfied with the opponent's behavior of sending Captain Aaron off the field at the beginning of the game.

As the head coaches of both sides shook hands, this top ten game officially came to an end.

The Melford players who lost the game, without the longing they had when they came, got on the bus silently like roosters who had lost a fight.

Another two hours later, the school bus convoy returned to Melford.

"Relax everyone, our results this year are already very good. If you are still not satisfied with today's game, then train well in the future. When we become stronger, we will go to Austin High School for revenge next year." Coach George in front of the bus encouraged the players.

"The coach is right. We still have a chance to beat Austin in the Spring Invitational next year." Captain Aaron came out and asked loudly, "Do you have confidence?"

After a whole morning's game, Melford and all the players have grown a lot.

Hearing Captain Aaron's words, someone echoed, "Yes~"

Then, the shouting became louder and louder, and the eyes of the team members became more and more determined.

"Very good, just have this momentum..." Coach George smiled, and after a few words of encouragement to the players, he announced the disbandment of the team.

After all the team members left, Mike and George Jr. walked to the locker room together.

On the way, George Jr. suddenly said, "Mike, do you think I'm particularly untalented in football?"

"Why do you say that?" Mike was a little surprised.

In today's game, George Jr.'s performance was not particularly impressive, but it was quite satisfactory.

"I..." Little George, who was about to confide, turned his head to look at Mike, and sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

What is there to say?
Little George started practicing rugby at a very young age because he had a rugby coach father.

Moreover, Coach George has always wanted to train his eldest son to be a qualified rugby player.

In the past, under the encouragement of his father, George Jr. always thought that he could become an excellent rugby player.But when today's game was over, he realized the importance of talent.

Compared with Mike, little George felt like a useless person.

After thinking about it for a while, Mike understood the reason for Little George's frustration.However, rugby is indeed a sport that depends on talent, and the competition is often about physical strength.

Little George is indeed not talented in this regard.

Due to this reason, Mike didn't know how to solve the opponent for a while.
