American winner takes all

Chapter 71 Take refuge
In the heavy rain, a black car was speeding on Florida's Turnpike, which runs north and south through Florida.

In the car, the radio was turned very loudly, and the radio was broadcasting the real-time results of the "High School Football All-Star Game".

"The game is officially over. The Western team once again defeated the Eastern team 30-21, maintaining its winning streak. At this moment, players from both sides are shaking hands and exchanging jerseys, showing their friendship. The camera turns to Ethan O'Connor, who is His performance in the fourth quarter was exceptional and he contributed many wonderful shots in this game. Yesterday he was unknown, but today his name will be known to more people..."

Lisa, who was sitting in the back row, breathed a sigh of relief.

"This young man has proven himself." Susan on the side couldn't help but say.

"Ethan is very impressive and I feel proud of him." Lisa felt very proud.

"Lisa... I think you are too close to him?" Susan suddenly said, she was going to take this opportunity to talk to Lisa about her little boyfriend.

"Susan, you are so rotten. You only live once, why don't you listen to your inner voice?" Lisa asked with a smile.

"You think he's pretty good, right? He's handsome, strong, and very capable..." Lisa suddenly whispered.

"Definitely not." Susan immediately shook her head and turned her head to one side.

"It's up to you, the opportunity has been given to you, don't regret it then." Lisa giggled.

Putting aside this bold conversation about middle-aged women, Lisa's trip to Miami and Fort Lauderdale went relatively smoothly this time, involving distribution work. This was something Lisa had nothing to do with. But due to the request of some friends, Lisa had some friendship with a female executive at Blockbuster headquarters, so she took action herself...

"Incredible player, incredible touchdown." In the Norman locker room, Thomas shook his head and sighed.

He could clearly feel that Ethan was getting stronger.Not even compared to top players like Peyton Manning.

Of course, the influence of the weather must also be taken into consideration. If it is a sunny day, in a real duel with swords and guns, Ethan will still be at a disadvantage.

"But having said that, at least BHHS now has a real star player!" Thomas said happily.

In the room, Catherine and Jennifer were lying on the end of the bed, holding the same posture with their hands on their faces, looking at Ethan on the TV screen.

At this time, Ethan was exchanging jerseys with others. After taking off his shirt, he revealed the well-developed muscles of his upper body.

This scene made Jennifer couldn't help but form an embarrassed smile on her lips, making her feel a little shy.

"Ethan turns out to be so self-disciplined." Jennifer said sincerely.I have a new understanding of Ethan.

She couldn't understand much of the game, and all she heard was that the commentator kept praising Ethan.

But if you were to "taste" the muscles on Ethan's body, you could say a lot.

Catherine sneered.

How could she not know whether Ethan was self-disciplined or not?Every night, I seriously say that I need to exercise, and as I say that...

I indulged him too much.

But then again...the past scenes that appeared in her mind made Catherine want to move. Thinking about it again, Ethan didn't touch him for a week.

"I have to go to the bathroom." Catherine got up immediately.

·
After the game, the Eastern and Western teams shook hands and exchanged jerseys. In any case, this was just an exhibition match and that was all.

"I remember you." Ethan heard a voice from behind.

Turning around, he saw Peyton Manning standing there.

At first glance, this sentence sounded like a threat, but at this time Peyton Manning's expression did not look angry, it was just literal.

"I admit that I made a mistake and deserved to suffer failure. I will wait for you in the NCAA." His tone did not show any ups and downs, but it contained great determination.

Ethan nodded, and the two shook hands and communicated about the game.

Being regarded as Peyton Manning's biggest opponent, Ethan felt that this was not a good thing for him.

After all, I really don’t deserve it now.

If it were a normal contest, he would not be Peyton Manning's opponent, and the heavy rain would have a great impact on him.

However, Ethan has never really been afraid of anyone.

It didn’t happen in the past, it won’t happen now, and it won’t happen in the future.

Ethan saw Payton walking towards his family. His father and two brothers surrounded him with concerned questions, patting him on the back, obviously encouraging him.He also saw the youngest Eli Manning looking towards him and nodding as if declaring war.

Speaking of which, he will also be entering high school.

And this is not the only new enemy. Ethan can feel that under the apparent kindness, many people are looking at him frequently.

There is also the most difficult person - coach Bob Ladouceur.

His eyes were still sharp, but they were no longer looking at the Eastern Team.

But Ethan.

In the near future, in the California High School Football Open, one is an undefeated legend that has lasted for more than ten years, and the other is a young genius who has suddenly emerged. The high schools represented by the two will be direct competitors.

However, at this moment, the two still remained relatively friendly.

Bob Ladouceur even mentioned a transfer.

"Ethan, your potential is definitely not limited to high school, but to the NCAA and the NFL. And now, BHHS will drag down your performance. You deserve a better team." He said.

Ethan did not reject this possibility and even showed interest.However, he is not in a hurry to make a decision. There is still more than a month until the next semester, and it will depend on who is more "sincere."

Ethan never looks at what the other person says, only what the other person does.

As soon as he entered the locker room, he heard Pat standing on a chair with his arms spread out and loudly proposing: "Who wants to go surfing at the beach tomorrow?"

·
The first day after the game.Rosen Center Hotel's public indoor pool.

"Wow!"

Ethan jumped up and made a posture of stretching his legs backwards in mid-air, showing excellent flexibility. Then he was pulled into the swimming pool by gravity, and a huge water splash several meters high jumped up, like thunder from the ground.

After a few seconds, Ethan's head emerged from the water and shook off the water droplets on his head.

"I'm coming!" Lisa took a few steps back, then quickly ran towards the swimming pool.

She originally wanted to wear a bikini with all the fabrics put together that was no bigger than Ethan's palm, but under the strong request of Ethan, who only likes to eat alone, she had to put on a conservative one-piece swimsuit from the 50s "grandma style" , even so, the turbulence of running is still quite visually impactful.

Wave flowers.

Unfortunately, he slipped when he was about to jump. His whole body turned over and he fell into the water head first.

Ethan dived down and lifted her out of the water.

"I can't swim, lifeguard." Lisa turned around in the water.

"I'm happy to oblige, Ms. Virgil." Ethan's actions were quite "professional".

Because of the heavy rain, beach and sunbathing became a luxury, and we could only use the hotel swimming pool instead.

At this moment, Susan was sitting on the lounge chair by the swimming pool, watching Ethan sit on the edge of the swimming pool again, with his back to her.

You can see this young man's broad back, faint outline of butterfly muscles, and inverted triangular figure.

Like a devil's whisper, what Lisa said yesterday came to mind:
"It's up to you. The opportunity has been given to you. Don't regret it then."

The next second, Susan was splashed with water.

"Come down and play together?!" Lisa looked at the secretary in the swimming pool.

"Forget it." Susan shook her head again.

Not only Ethan, almost all the All-Stars came to the hotel swimming pool.

Ethan noticed Santa Ana running back Robert, who was serving as a backup in this All-Star game, coming to the pool with his mother.

It's just that both of them have stained faces at the moment. Robert's eyes are swollen and there are large bruises on his body. His mother is not much better, the corners of her mouth are smashed and her forehead is red.It seemed like there was a conflict with someone.

Ethan knew about this last night. Robert and his mother had a 2V2 fight with Albert and Albert's mother in the restaurant.

It was Albert's mother who was a black grinder who made the first move. It is said that the scene was very tragic. She pressed Robert's mother's head and kept banging it on the table, shouting: "I told you to mess with my son!"

On the other side, Robert took the initiative to fight with Albert and roared: "Let you tease my mother!"

So, this is another bad ending version of the "Where Are We Going, Dad" story.

When Lisa heard the news, she covered her chest immediately and said with some fear: "Fortunately, I am taller, Mia shouldn't be able to beat me."

Ethan also responded very happily: "Fortunately, I am relatively strong. I should be able to pop the pimples on Rice's face with one hand."

All kidding aside, Mia has gained a good best friend, Rice has gained a good... teammate, and everyone has a bright future.

After a while, Ethan saw Albert also coming to the swimming pool with his mother, the grinder. When he saw that Robert's family was also there, he immediately turned and left.

Ethan got up and chased out, stopping Albert at the entrance of the swimming pool.

"You have to know that everything you did on the field was to win the game." Ethan suddenly mentioned the past.

If there is any dispute between the two, it can only be said "Brother Ni" on the field.

When this matter was mentioned again, Albert was not angry at all and even put on a smile.

"I can totally understand, Brother Ni, we black people also call each other something."

Not to mention Ethan taking the initiative to admit his mistakes, he cleaned up Ethan himself and even got closer to him.

The attitudes before and after were completely different. The first reason was naturally that he was impressed by Ethan's terrifying talent displayed in the All-Star Game.

The secondary reason is that now that the incident has been exposed and Eric is bedridden, Santa Ana's cornerstone four-man team has completely fallen apart and its strength has been greatly reduced. On the other hand, the BHHS Normans are on the rise.

"If possible, I would like to join BHHS!" Albert took the initiative to express his attitude.

Of course, Ethan found Albert for this purpose.

In the last game, Norman's left defensive end left the game due to injury, which is when he needed someone.

As an All-Star defensive end, Albert performed well in yesterday's game, contributing tackles that determined the outcome.Looking across the country, there is no better choice than him.

If he stays at BHHS, his lineup will definitely need to be strengthened.Originally, Ethan wanted to use him to ask for directions, to test whether BHHS was willing to invest money.

"I can bring your wishes to the principal." Ethan nodded.
