Chapter 418 Prosperity
"Exquisite pass, the Angels' slot receiver once again received a wonderful pass from Ethan, and then actually used a special reverse route. The last time this route appeared was ten years ago..."
"Eason will have the slot receiver position fully activated. The Raiders didn't create effective blocking on the Angels' weak side. Maybe Jon Gruden needs a second Charles Woodson, but that's not going to happen. They There seems to be nothing we can do.”
"Back pass! Ethan received the ball, and he finally started running the ball again. Although it was slow, the Raiders made a fatal turnover at this time. There was no defender in front of Ethan, and he advanced unimpeded. With a full 24 yards, the next gear will be the Angels’ scoring attempt!”
The Angels' consecutive vigorous offense made the two CBS commentators extremely excited.
The two Angels coaches standing on the sidelines knew that this was not the Raiders' mistake at all. Charles Woodson had just deliberately approached the weak side, but Ethan saw through it perfectly, so he used an extremely easy way to directly hit him. Weared through the Raiders' defense.
In addition to being excited, the two coaches also seemed a little nervous.
"The Angels are going to need us, right?" Andy confirmed uneasily.
"Of course, there is only one Ethan. Even if he can command the offensive team, the special teams and defensive team will always need us." Holmgren nodded quickly.
Asking the two coaches to examine whether their existence is necessary is enough to show how terrifying Ethan's on-the-spot command ability is.
As soon as the words were spoken, the Angels' offense encountered some problems again. As the front line gradually advanced to the Raiders' formation, the defensive area was compressed, and the Angels' previous tactical effect of slot receivers as a breakthrough point began to be greatly reduced.
Two consecutive attacks were successfully defended by the Raiders, which made the situation confusing again.
"Charles Woodson successfully interfered with wide receiver Donald, and he failed to catch the ball. Now the Angels are only left with two options, either a fourth-down power play or a free kick, and I think Ethan will choose the former."
"Of course, Ethan never relies on defense. He relies on hearty offense all the way."
As soon as the two commentators finished speaking, Ethan's choice surprised people again. The Angels had already sent a special team to the scene.
"Well, maybe Ethan will choose some safer tactics as he grows older." The commentator could only explain.
At this time, Cunningham was already standing in front of the kicking point. As he volleyed hard, he saw that the football did not fly towards the goal, but fell directly. At the same time, the substitute wide receiver of the special team had begun to accelerate. , he held the ball in his arms before everyone else, and then rushed towards the Raiders' zone.
"The fake punt tactic was successful! The Angels scored a touchdown!"
"The Angels were once questioned before the game about being too single-minded in their tactics. Now it seems that these doubts are completely nonsense!"
"The continuous selection of special tactics put the Raiders in a certain panic."
At this time, the two Raiders coaches on the sidelines looked at each other again, their expressions a little stunned.
Just now I was saying that Ethan can only direct the offensive team, but now it seems that the special teams team no longer needs a coach...
·
With an external brain like Ethan, the Angels have made targeted adjustments to their offense, defense and even special teams tactics.
Although the Raiders' offensive team is very strong, and there are top players like Charles Woodson on the defensive team, the Raiders' shortcomings are also very obvious. The Angels began to gradually open up the score with the Raiders in the second quarter.
By midfield, the Angels had built a ten-point lead.
At this time, the two teams returned to the locker room, and the scene was completely handed over to the Angel Cheerleaders.
After Ethan's grouping, the home performances this season have two groups alternating.
Different from last season, today's halftime show is more like a fan meeting or variety show than a performance.
There was a makeshift stage on the edge of the field, and Lisa Morgan acted as the host and asked the players to introduce themselves one by one. This link takes up almost half of the midfield time.
"I am Kimberly Conrad. Ten years ago, I was featured in Playboy magazine. Now, I stand in the Memorial Stadium and feel like I have been reborn. I hope that we devil girls can accompany you to watch happily this season. Game." Kimberly Conrad was the last to introduce herself as the team leader.
Today, Kimberly is particularly radiant. With devil horns and blond hair, holiness and temptation have reached a balanced harmony on her, and her perfect facial features are even more impressive.
Different from the original design draft, the bunny girl costumes on the team members now have some more decorations. They no longer show their complete thighs, but are covered by shorts, and a tuxedo-like hem is added behind them, which is more exposed. discount. This is also Ethan's arrangement.
Accompanied by tsunami-like cheers from the audience, the interaction between the Devils group went very smoothly, followed by a group dance performance. At the end, Kimberly specifically announced that after the game, the Devils group would also hold a book signing event. At this point the complete halftime show ends.
"Welcome back, I have to remind everyone in front of the TV that you just missed a great halftime show, which is no less than Thanksgiving or the halftime of the Super Bowl. The new halftime format will change the focus from the original "Performance" was changed to "Cheerleader Individual". This is an innovation. I believe that cheerleading will be better tomorrow and the NFL will be better tomorrow."
The commentator talked to the audience in front of the TV about what happened at halftime as soon as the camera cut back.
As usual, the halftime show will not be broadcast unless there are special circumstances.
The two commentators' lively introductions actually attracted unanimous curses from the audience in front of the TV. After all, they really couldn't see.
The only thing that was not affected by the cheerleaders was the two warring teams. During halftime, Ethan once warned the players that the Raiders would definitely counterattack in the third quarter. The facts perfectly reflected his prediction.
It can be seen from the Raiders' tactical choices and player movements that the Raiders have begun to fight for their lives in the third quarter. They used several extremely special tactics.
Part of it worked. It can be said that the Raiders' offensive efficiency has improved to a certain extent. On the other hand, the Angels have also made similar changes under the guidance of Ethan, and their efficiency is even better than that of the Raiders. This ultimately led to the Raiders The point difference with the Angels has not been narrowed, but has been further widened.
At the end of the third quarter, the game had lost its suspense, and the Angels almost won their first victory of the 2000-2001 season.
"Everyone, now the time is ripe. We need to attack the Super Bowl. No matter it is the Rams or the Colts, no matter what bears or lions or dolphins, the creatures in the zoo should not try to stop us." At the end of the game, Ethan said The locker room cheered.
The Angels only have one goal this season!
Seeing that his fighting spirit had been mobilized, Andy made a different sound. He seemed to be cautious and said:
"Ethan, I think you must first restore your figure to its past level, and then consider other things."
"Of course, I will recover." Ethan nodded repeatedly.
"So, tomorrow, can we start your special training?" Rhodes then asked. "I'm afraid not tomorrow, I have to record "Angel Academy"" Ethan shook his head.
"What about the day after tomorrow?" Holmgren asked.
"I have to have a conference call with Vince the day after tomorrow. We will officially announce a new news in the afternoon..." Ethan talked about the backstage arrangements again.
"The day after tomorrow... forget it, how about we start later? We can train for at least four hours." Andy simply changed the special training time to today.
"Don't forget, the Devil Group has already started signing books. I have to see the specific situation at the scene and then make the next arrangements." Ethan shrugged.
"Although this period is relatively busy, I will tell you as long as I have time." Ethan finally said.
The three coaches had no choice but to nod.
·
The popularity of the autograph session exceeded Ethan's imagination. The original autograph venue was a temporary tent set up in the parking lot. The surging crowd formed a long and winding queue in the parking lot. The queue was completely folded, even though This also occupied most of the space in the parking lot, which affected people driving away. Several minor conflicts arose due to this.
The original signing time was only three hours, but in the end it was more than doubled. Grace asked the staff of the Angel Cheerleaders company responsible for the production and warehousing of authorized products, "Zhanwang", to urgently transfer goods from other warehouses, and finally transferred all the inventory directly. They were all cleared out, but at this time, one fifth of the fans still didn’t buy it at all. Ethan said that he would issue relevant discount coupons to these people and send the products to them by mail within two weeks to calm the complaints.
"The cheerleading team's ability to carry goods is really exaggerated." After the end, Ethan and everyone stayed in the autograph tent to record the results from the end of the noon game to the present.
"What is sold are some basic products that can be purchased in online malls." said Grace next to her.
There are only two products for sale this time, the devil-themed underwear in collaboration with Victoria's Secret, and the new photo album jointly released by Angel Cheerleaders and Palyboy. These are all products launched by the cheerleading team last year.
"We should expand the categories of derivative products. Small items such as refrigerator magnets, water cups, cup sleeves, badges, and baseball caps can all be arranged. After the signing session, it will be the main project for the cheerleading team to increase revenue. It is best to have them every month. If you come here once, there will be matching special commemorative items for sale for each signing, and each commemorative item will only be sold once.”
"In addition, regarding souvenirs, maybe cheerleaders can also release star cards like players, hand-signed, printed, and numbered. Crazy fans who are not short of money often open hundreds or thousands of packages of 'Cheerleading Stars' in order to collect a set of cards. "Ka', Susan, contact the company that makes star cards in the market. This time we have to lead the project. If the other party doesn't agree, we will do it ourselves. The technical content of this thing is not high anyway," Ethan said.
Today's star cards are relatively primitive, and there are still many tricks that Ethan can play in this regard.
"I will contact the relevant companies tomorrow." Susan nodded.
"Ethan, my wrist is so sore." Kendall rubbed his wrist and said to Ethan coquettishly, while getting up and walking towards Ethan.
Ethan has been spending a lot of time with Kendall in recent times, and now she has become the one with the highest status among the new team members, even inferior to several old team members.
And when Kendall sat on Ethan's lap, Ethan immediately felt many cold eyes on him.
The first person to be affected was Grace, whose eyes were as cold as ice thorns, followed by Belinda, who was also at the scene, with wandering eyes. Even Kimberly frowned slightly, feeling quite unhappy.
Ethan can understand the first two, but Kimberly's jealousy makes Ethan feel confused.
Ethan finally let go of Kendall and asked the team to go back first.
"It's getting late. Go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow is the day when Angel Academy officially starts recording." Ethan reminded everyone.
Buses are responsible for transporting the team members to and from collective activities, and several staff members, including assistants, are also fully staffed. The two groups of cheerleading teams are now no different from traditional idol groups.
·
In the weeks that followed, the Angels had a bumper season both on and off the field.
The Angels Cheerleading Team has launched a new series of licensed products, and the new season photo album of the main players has also been launched. So far, the cheerleading team’s authorized product revenue has exceeded that of the Angels itself. The main reason is that the Angels’ team-related authorized products are produced by the NFL, and the categories are much smaller than the cheerleading team’s authorized products.
In addition, the first reality show of "Angel Academy" has also officially premiered. The title of the single episode is "Back to School Season". In this episode, the team members officially move into the academy. Ethan's role in the reality show is the "Principal", which can be said to have a profound influence on the team members. Sha Daquan, his evaluation will be directly used as the criterion to measure the ranking of each team member.
In addition, the news of the establishment of LFL has also been officially announced. The new league will take a similar form to the XFL, with the league controlling the teams. Even the number of teams is the same as the XFL, eight, it can be said that except for the players Other than that, nothing else has changed. The new league is expected to begin its first season early next year and will be broadcast in the late night time slot on FOX.
On the field, the Angels won all the first four rounds. The Raiders, Chiefs, and Denver Broncos in the same division were defeated by the Angels one by one, and they all won by big scores. Ethan showed terrifying tactical support. In terms of ability, the Angels are often suppressed in the first quarter, but in the next quarter, the Angels can sweep away the decline with some subtle changes.
The difference in style also gave Ethan a new nickname - "Conductor".
The only fly in the ointment is that Ethan's weight problem still exists at this time, but facing some not-so-strong opponents, Ethan doesn't need to use his athletic ability at all, so it doesn't have any impact.
As for the Angels, several of their competitors this season have also gotten off to a good start.
The Rams won the first three rounds, scoring a combined 118 points in the three games, obviously continuing last year's terrifying scoring efficiency.
The Colts, led by Peyton Manning, lost to the Raiders in the second round by a touchdown.
In addition, the New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, and Miami Dolphins also performed relatively well at the beginning of this season.
As for the strong teams in previous years, such as the 49ers, Cowboys, Packers, and Steelers, they failed to perform well.
A new round of reshuffle is beginning...
In the fourth round, the Angels will face their first heavyweight opponent this season - the Baltimore Ravens.
Baltimore at this time was not very eye-catching, and had just lost to the Dolphins 6-19 in the third round. Ethan did not even regard them as a strong enough opponent.
Even Andy's pre-game analysis only called the Baltimore Ravens a team whose defense is significantly better than its offense.
Ethan doesn't know that the Baltimore Ravens are the real dark horse this season, as dark horse as the Rams last season...
