American winner takes all

Chapter 429 Sweep
Compared with Kurt Warner of the Rams who was highly nervous and did not dare to slack off in the previous game, Peyton Manning seemed very relaxed at this moment, but the speed, angle and timing of the pass were better than Kurt Warner.

It was a signature lightning attack. The moment Payton received the pass from the center, he had already seen the path of the ball, coordinated his body, eyes and mind, and passed the ball directly to the wide receiver in the distance.

The Colts' wide receiver Marvin Harrison was also rushing forward at this time, but was interfered by Roland Bailey when he was about to receive the pass. He almost missed the ball and could only watch the football fly out of bounds, wasting a great opportunity.

Putting aside the two quarterbacks, Indianapolis is not as strong offensively as the previous Vikings and Rams, which has somewhat dragged down Peyton Manning.

However, Peyton Manning did not show any regret, but instead encouraged his teammates.

"Everyone, the Angels are somewhat unstoppable this season. What we need to do most now is not to win the game, but to enjoy the game!" During the discussion, Payton and his teammates put their hands on the shoulders of the people around them.

After a few words, the expressions of the Colts players had become resolute.

In the next few attacks, the Colts played better and better, successfully advancing their line to the front of the Angels' zone. Finally, Peyton Manning successfully passed the ball to the wide receiver who had come to the corner of the zone with his signature lightning long pass.

"After a brief period of hesitation, the Colts' offense began to flow smoothly. Peyton Manning has transformed into a leader who helps his teammates build confidence when the team encounters problems. We saw that when the team was not in a strong position, Peyton Manning successfully helped the team win the first victory."

"The Angels' offense will be on the field next. This year, this offense has repeatedly created miracles. Last month, they defeated two dark horses, the Titans and the Saints, by a large margin in two away games. So far, the Angels have won twelve consecutive games and have not lost a single game this season! What an honor!"

"We saw that Ethan had put on a helmet. In the previous few games, we saw the Angels frequently launch the Rams-style Creel offense. The Angels were like a mirror, imitating or absorbing the 'tactical nutrition' of their previous opponents!"

"Let's wait and see if the Angels can go one step further in the miracle they created this season!"

After Ethan came on the court and cooperated with his teammates in several offensive plays, the on-site commentator immediately noticed the difference between the Angels team and the previous ones.

"Wait... We can see that the Angels' offensive tactics are completely different from the previous few games. They emphasize more on the speed and angle of the pass... This is... This is the Colts' tactical style!"

"Ethan has learned a lot from his old rival Payton!"

"This is incredible! How did Ethan do it? How did he adapt to completely different tactics in such a short time?"

"Perhaps this is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person. Don't use the standards of an ordinary person to measure a genius..."

The two commentators at the scene exclaimed repeatedly.

At the beginning of the season, the media always made fun of Ethan's neglect of training, but today, as the Angels are far ahead in strength, no one dares to question Ethan anymore.

Britney, who was in the cheerleading lounge, heard the two commentators praising Ethan, but she felt a little confused because her knowledge of football was very basic.

On the one hand, he was inexplicably delighted to know that Ethan was so powerful, but on his face he showed an unhappy expression, muttering in a low voice: "Why do you have to be so powerful?"

Thanks to Ethan's series of Peyton Manning-style lightning attacks, the Angels once again took the lead.

"It looks like we can only use special tactics!" Payton whispered as he stood on the sidelines.

"He's really abnormally powerful!" Colts player Jim E. Mora, who was standing next to Peyton Manning, whispered as he watched Ethan's departing back.

In the heart of this sixty-year-old man, that broad figure was like a demon crawling out of hell.

It is almost impossible to find any shortcomings. It can be said that Ethan O'Connor is the strongest football player in human history at this time!

But even so, Peyton Manning is still not ready to give up.

Before the new round of offense began, Payton had a long discussion with his teammates.

As the Colts' new round of offense began, the tactics shown by the offensive team were somewhat different from before.
"Did the Colts prepare a special tactic as well?!"

"This is... this is the Colts' signature skill last season, the two-minute extreme offense!"

Compared with before, Peyton Manning no longer emphasizes passing speed, but more team cooperation and scheduling. The entire offensive group is like a precision instrument, and the players in each position on the field are one of its components.

The sudden tactical change made the Angels' defense look overwhelmed. In the continuous and frequent running, mistakes began to increase. Some people failed to make up for the position, and some people were distracted in panic and were seized by the Colts' offensive players to complete the breakthrough.

"Sure enough, the Colts will never give up easily, just like last season. We all know that in the final moments of last season, the Colts launched a tenacious attack on the Angels, causing the Angels to almost miss the playoffs!"

"Could it be that Payton is Ethan's nemesis?" the commentator speculated.

The Colts did have the advantage on the field, but everything changed with Ethan's reappearance in the second quarter.

Faced with the Colts' choice of changing tactics, Ethan chose to remain unchanged in the face of change and continued to use lightning offense, bombarding the Colts' defense with a series of high-speed passes.

In Ethan's opinion, just like the previous few games, this is undoubtedly an offensive battle. In this case, offensive efficiency is of paramount importance.

The Colts' team tactics seem to be aggressive, but they also sacrifice speed, which will put the Colts at a disadvantage...

The situation was just as Ethan expected. After just two offensive and defensive rounds, the Angels expanded the score to a touchdown lead.

"Is this how Ethan would respond? It turns out that he had already seen through everything!"

"Oh, God!"

The two CBS commentators in the commentary booth stared at each other.

At this time, Andy on the sidelines finally let go of his worries.

He knew that if the Angels could win this game, they would become the No. 1 seed of the season four rounds in advance, the main players could rotate the lineup a month in advance, and be well-rested in the playoffs!
And the surprises were not limited to this. At the end of the second quarter, when Roland Bailey faced Peyton Manning's pass, he did not choose to rush forward with the wide receiver to compete for the landing point. Instead, he stood still, took a run-up and then jumped.

The reason for this attempt was that he found that the height of this legend was lower than he had imagined, and Roland made the right bet this time.

Roland jumped high and reached the football with one hand. Even though he had lost his balance, he held the ball forcefully. Then he adjusted his body in the air and landed steadily on the ground.

After that, they counterattacked at full speed. Seeing that the situation was not good, Peyton Manning made a flying dive and tried to knock Roland Bailey down, but he could only be hit by Roland's exhaust gas and fell to the ground.

"Touchdown! The Angels once again expanded their lead at the end of the first half."

"Roland Bailey showed excellent body control and excellent athleticism after intercepting the ball, dribbling past several players in a row..."

"When people mention the Angels, they often think of Ethan O'Connor first, but don't forget that Ethan is surrounded by a group of powerful young men who have been silently helping Ethan share the pressure. If anyone ignores them, they will pay the price, just like the Colts did today!"

At the end of the second quarter, Ethan's teammates had a highlight moment, which also made the Angels lead more than double digits. At this time, Ethan already knew that the Angels' chances of winning had greatly increased. Considering that the Colts had already revealed their last trump card but did not achieve the desired effect, the conservative estimate of the Angels' chances of winning was 80%.

This is good, I can watch the halftime show in peace... Ethan thought.

The cheerleading team has been preparing for today's halftime performance for a long time.

"Britney, it's time to go on stage!"

The agent who was also in the lounge said to Britney, who had already walked out of the dressing room after her makeup was done by a makeup artist.

She nodded to her agent and left with the stadium staff.

Today's focus game between the Angels and the Colts is a night game. At this time, the sky has completely darkened and the entire scene relies on lights for lighting. As dozens of headlights around the stadium are turned off, the scene is plunged into darkness.

As Britney's first cry sounded, the scene immediately fell into carnival.

"Britney Spears? When did she get here?"

"Could it be that she is the special surprise of this halftime show?"

The audience was caught up in discussion, and as the spotlights shone on the center area of ​​the venue, what people saw were the angel cheerleaders.

At this time, they are wearing special uniforms. Compared with the previous styles that are more campus and sports-oriented, the two redesigned uniforms are more fashionable and can be perfectly matched with high-heeled shoes. In addition, the team members do not have cheerleading decorations such as pom-poms in their hands.

The most special thing is that every cheerleader has a microphone.

Now the audience realized that this was not a cheerleading-style performance at all, but a female pop music group like the Spice Girls.

As for Britney, she was on the other side of the venue, facing the cheerleaders from a distance. This arrangement was obviously intended to highlight the cheerleaders so that the audience could focus on them at the first moment.

As live music appeared, the super large girl group began singing and dancing.

When the song ended, the atmosphere reached its climax and the audience's calls of "debut" echoed.

Ethan was very satisfied with the cheerleaders' performance tonight. You know, this performance should have been held half a month ago. It was postponed until now because of the repeated rehearsals and adjustments for a better performance effect. It was even more complicated than the tactical training of a football team.

In addition, another reason for the postponement was that they were rehearsing a special version that only Ethan could experience. As we all know, there is a dance called riding dance...

After a passionate song, the lights on the scene immediately changed to cold tones, the players' movements began to slow down, and VOCAL Nicole Scherzinger picked up the white microphone and sang a soothing slow song...

It was not until this moment that the audience suddenly realized what this so-called "special surprise" was.

Sure enough, after the performance, the team members introduced themselves as the first batch of "Angel Girls".

In addition to the audience, there were dozens of media outlets at the scene. At the same time, with CBS's live broadcast, tens of millions of viewers across the United States were also fascinated by these young girls for the first time.

Compared to other artist groups that have gradually become popular, Angel Girls can be said to have reached the peak right from the start.

After the game, Ethan found Britney first.

"Thank you for your hospitality. I had a lot of fun in Los Angeles during this time and made a lot of friends." Britney said to Ethan with a smile. At first glance, this smile gives people a friendly feeling, but there is a vague sense of alienation inside.

Considering that Britney really helped him a lot this time, Ethan certainly would not go back on his word and talked to her about the Super Bowl halftime performance.

"I have contacted Paul..."

Britney just nodded quietly, without any excitement.

"You seem very unhappy?" Ethan said suddenly.

"Really?" Britney asked back.

"No? Listen, I can take care of them, including you." Ethan suddenly said seriously.

Britney's face froze, and then she smiled awkwardly: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"If you don't say it now, there might not be another chance." Ethan shook his head.

Britney's heart skipped a beat, then she burst into laughter.

"It's as if I'll never come back."

"I'm just afraid you might have some misunderstanding about the Mormon family."

"You were the one who mentioned that first. I just... I just don't know how to adapt." Britney spoke her mind.

"You are busy rehearsing this time. Next time we meet, I will let you communicate more with them." Ethan knew that Britney would leave again tomorrow, so this moment was considered a farewell.

"Then, see you next time?"

"Of course." Ethan said.

That night, the Angels won their 12th consecutive game and officially entered the playoffs as the No. seed four rounds in advance. The players could also start preparing for rest early.

The women's group was also officially on track, with Simon as manager, Robin Antin in charge of choreography, and Kelsey and Kimberly in charge of personnel arrangements and management.

Ethan can now free up his hands to deal with a larger and more important matter.

Last time it was Vince McMahon who came to Los Angeles, this time it was Ethan who went to the WWF headquarters.

"Welcome, Ethan." Stephanie McMahon greeted Ethan at the airport.

Ethan saw that there was another strong man standing next to her, who was Stephanie's boyfriend HHH in the WWF script.

At this moment, this strong man, for some reason, was looking at him with an unhappy expression...
