American winner takes all

Chapter 39 It’s only you

The crowd roared with excitement!Many people are as happy as winning a jackpot.

Flea took off his sweaty T-shirt and threw it into the air!

"But we are in the same half as Santa Ana, and we will probably run into the defending champion in the second round!"

The smiles on everyone's faces suddenly disappeared.

Flea froze. The T-shirt that fell in the air covered his head, and he was completely unresponsive.

"Fuck!" Ford cursed in a low voice.

Monte lowered his head and rubbed the wooden floor with his feet.

"Hey, where are you planning to go on vacation with your family at the end of this month, Samoa or Madagascar?"

"Have you seen the movie "The Lion King"?"

"How about a drink tonight? I know there's a new bar in Santa Monica that doesn't check ID."

The teammates quickly recovered, but nothing related to football was mentioned.

This is not because teammates are deserting due to lack of effort.

But everyone knows that the CIF regional competition will stop at the second round.

"At least we are on par with the best results in the past ten years, so we have achieved nothing. Everyone, have a good holiday and relax, but don't overdo it. Return to school fifteen days before the start of school to prepare for the new school year." Even Thomas said He changed his bad temper from the past and started to directly "take care of the funeral affairs".

Catherine, the only woman in the gym, looked around at everyone with disdain.

"If this continues, I think you might as well quit the competition. Why waste your time here?" Her expression was stern.

"A bunch of cowards! They bully the weak and avoid the strong, you are a disgrace!" Her tone became stern.

She was originally the captain of the women's volleyball team, and she was not merciful when reprimanding her. Moreover, she accompanied Ethan to training today, so she stayed out of the matter and was objective enough to speak out unscrupulously.What he said was also very loud.

"You don't have to believe in yourselves, but don't forget that you still have Ethan. Everyone sees his performance during this period. Isn't that enough!?" Catherine suddenly pointed to Ethan beside her.

If there is anyone in the world who has unreserved trust in Ethan, Catherine must be among them.

All the team members looked at me and I looked at you, their expressions were slightly embarrassed, but no one refuted.

"Don't forget, Ethan wants to compete with the wild boar in the promotion competition, now is the time!" someone in the crowd reminded.

"What else is going on? I'll bet 20 yuan and the wild boar will win!" Thomas shook his eyebrows and raised a smile on his lips.

Apart from anything else, he has full confidence in the wild boar in terms of strength.

The coach personally stepped off the field to make a fuss, and everyone's appetite was aroused. The atmosphere that had already reached freezing point began to turn around, and everyone turned their attention to this special matchup.

Ethan looked at the wild boar, which was no different from a wall, and nodded.He lay directly on the press rack that Catherine had just used, and the wild boar next to him was already in place.

Several team members hurriedly changed the barbell plates. These barbell plates were still shining with brand new light and were put into use this morning.

Other teammates who were watching also bought and sold, and most people were still optimistic about the wild boar. If it was a passing game, Ethan would be the undisputed number one, but if it was a strength game, he might be even worse.

With Ford's order, the duel between the two officially began.

Ethan adopted the same strategy as Catherine, being steady and methodical.

The weight of 225 pounds is a little heavier than expected, but it is still within the acceptable range.

This is completely incomparable with holding Catherine and squatting before. After this period of scientific training, Ethan's physical fitness and strength have also improved to a certain extent.

When Ethan's arms straightened from curling, the streamlined muscles on the thick arms were fully revealed.

But when he exerted force, he suddenly felt that the barbell felt a little strange.

"Lift it up! Hurry up!" Most of the crowd gathered around the wild boar and urged.

Ethan always seemed calm and at ease.

Three minutes passed quickly, and Ethan's number of times gradually caught up.

Catherine clenched her hands into fists, looking worried.

Thomas rubbed his chin and carefully observed Ethan's movements, and soon his eyes lit up.

Ethan's current performance has exceeded his expectations. You must know that in NFL training camps, although they are all the same events, the standards for different positions are also different.The quarterback is the weaker one from a physical perspective.

At this moment, Ethan has shown good endurance and explosive power. Although there is a strategic bonus, it is obviously better than the average quarterback.

For comparison, Adam's previous test result was only 5 standard weight presses within 20 minutes, while Ethan broke this result in only 3 minutes.

"What's the wild boar doing?" "Work harder!"

Facing the urging of everyone, the wild boar seemed a little impatient. When he fell back, he made a move with his hand and the heavy barbell fell. Fortunately, he had an evasive action, otherwise he would definitely be hit.

"Time's up! Both contestants stop." Ford cut off the stopwatch.

"It's unbelievable, the boar did 30 times."

"It's a pity that Ethan was only behind twice." Ford shook his head.

"Fuck!" the crowd cursed in a low voice.

28 times, even you may not be able to do it, right?Many people ask themselves.

Considering that Ethan's position on the field is that of a quarterback, not a striker, pure strength and endurance requirements are not the first priority.

His physical fitness is enough to dominate the crowd, sweeping high school quarterbacks in California and even the entire West Coast.

Moreover, he is only in tenth grade!

Compared to girls, boys develop relatively slowly. In other words, Ethan has not yet reached the peak of his physical fitness.

"Professional level." Thomas grinned.

Before, he fell in love with Ethan because of his talent and hard work, but now Ethan gave him another surprise.

No wonder I can get rid of the defense relatively easily...

Thomas couldn't even find any flaws in Ethan.

This is a hexagon warrior in the true sense of the word.

As long as you have enough self-discipline, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the professional arena.

He looked at Catherine. If Ethan's girlfriend was someone else, he would still question it. If it was Catherine, he would be very relieved. She would take good care of Ethan.

Ethan placed the barbell on the rack and breathed heavily.

"You are really extraordinary." Catherine leaned over and wiped Ethan's sweat.

"Oh..." The crowd cheered.

In fact, for these people who exercise every day, Catherine is the most perfect woman. As for the other two school stars... they are not very attractive to these people.

"Ford, you've worked hard too, let me give you a hug." Flea nuzzled at Ford.

Ford raised his foot as if to kick him.

"Wait, there's something wrong with the barbell I'm using." At this time, Ethan suddenly said.

"I put the weight plates on myself. There's no way it can go wrong," Monte said.

"Ethan, it's normal to lose to a wild boar. His size is there." Flea stepped forward and said.

Only Thomas walked over and checked.

"This bell piece..." Thomas weighed it.

"It was marked incorrectly. It should have been 75 pounds, but it was marked fifty pounds." His expression was intriguing.

This is a low probability event, but it does happen.

Not to mention Thomas, everyone froze, and there was silence in the huge gym.

Not only does the absolute weight exceed the wild boar, but it is very difficult to lift a barbell with different weights on the left and right, but Ethan not only did it, but also did it so many times.

"It's just you, Ethan O'Connor." Thomas patted Ethan's shoulder and said dumbly.

At this time, Ethan also stood up and looked at everyone.He remembered what Adam told him, that if you want to be a quarterback, you have to be better than everyone on the team.

"Who else wants to compete with me?" Ethan looked at everyone.

Wherever he looked, no one dared to speak.

"You don't have to trust yourself, but you must trust the teammates around you." Ethan declared.

Regardless, everyone returned their attention to training.

In the minds of many people, an idea suddenly popped up.

Maybe Eason can actually lead the Normans to victory over the out-of-reach opponent that has dominated Southern California for nearly a decade.
