American winner takes all

Chapter 77 Asymmetric Training

At night, brothers William and Ethan were lying on the same bed, chatting in the dark.

"Catherine is getting more and more beautiful. I don't know what kind of boyfriend she will find when she goes to college." William sighed.

"Her boyfriend must be a handsome and excellent man." Ethan responded.

"But then again, with her hot temper, she won't be able to find a boyfriend in college, right?" William snickered.

"That's just because you don't know her well. Maybe she is quite gentle to her other half?" Ethan tried to say.

"What about you? I remember, Sarah Gellar?"

"Maybe it's another girl? Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about you. How did you earn [-] US dollars?"

"Refurbishing, repairing, and reselling some electronic products, of course, I can only make pocket money. A company called Accolade contacted me this semester and hoped that I could reverse engineer the BIOS of the Sega Genesis game console. They wanted to bypass Sega's license to release games that can be run directly on game consoles." (Sega Enterprises Ltd. v. Accolade, Inc., 977 F.2d 1510 (9th Cir. 1992))
"As for me, I spent a few days making some suggestions to their engineering team and received a reward of US$15000. The rest of the money was saved by me. As for this phone, it was actually purchased at a low price and damaged. For the mobile phone, I found some parts and reassembled it,” William explained.

Ethan understood and it turned out that William's real name was Super Xiaolian.

However, I was still a little worried, so I confirmed again that even if Sega submitted the complaint, it would still be the Accolade company, and it had nothing to do with William.

As expected of being super cheap, you can pay for the tuition yourself.

Early the next morning, Catherine came over personally to get Ethan and William up, and then personally served the breakfast prepared for them.

"Wow, Catherine, it turns out you are the one who has changed the most." William couldn't help but sigh, when Catherine would take the initiative to serve breakfast to him, this was something he never dared to think about before.

"This breakfast is too rich, I may not be able to finish it." William looked at the plate in front of him.

"You're sitting in the wrong seat. This is Ethan's breakfast, and this one is yours." Catherine pointed to the plate next to her.

William looked at the plate, which contained a few slices of tomatoes, a few slices of bread, a little bit of sauce, and a little bit of buttered corn kernels. Even the presentation was perfunctory.

Looking at Ethan's, they had steak early in the morning, runny fried eggs, and even the vegetables were obviously much fresher than his own, not to mention, there were also milk, desserts, and some nutritional tablets taken by athletes.

"Catherine, I am also your relative!" William shouted.

Catherine muttered: "The conditions at home are not well-off now, and you are not an athlete. Why do you eat so much? You can't gain weight!"

At this time, Ethan also got up and sat down at the table.

Catherine immediately sat down next to Ethan with a smile and said: "Ethan, you have to train today, so I am more prepared. After today's training, remember to pick me up at Jennifer's house."

Ethan nodded, as if everything was natural and nothing abnormal.

Does Catherine make breakfast for Ethan like this every day?This brat is so happy now.

William chewed the cold and hard toast and watched Catherine take the initiative to pick up the cup and bring it to Ethan's mouth...

Suddenly I felt that the breakfast in my mouth didn't taste good at all.

What William didn't know was that Catherine had already put her hand on Ethan's leg under the table and squeezed it gently.

Ethan had been in Orlando for the whole week, and when he finally came back, William happened to show up. Of course she was looking for a chance to spend time together.

"Finally, we are now here. After defeating multiple opponents, Burbank, Santa Ana, and Canoga Park High School, we will face our last opponent of the summer!"

"I believe that the moment you defeated Santa Ana, you already had a new goal, stepped onto a bigger stage, and challenged the best in California!"

"But before that, we must ensure that we can defeat our opponents, otherwise we will be the biggest clown in California. I don't want to see anyone despise their opponents."

"Focus on the present and treat every game as if it's your last, okay?"

Thomas put his hands on his hips and looked at everyone.

"Let's start announcing the recent training goals..."

Ethan found that none of these training goals mentioned what the quarterback needed to do.

Sure enough, Thomas left Ethan and Rice alone before wrapping up. "Ethan, I know I feel very strong at this moment, but have you found that you are missing something?" Thomas asked.

Ethan pointed to his head.

"Yes, it's tactics. Tell me Ethan, how many tactics can you master now?" Thomas asked.

"If calculated based on pure formations, there are only three types." Ethan said it bluntly.

"Only three kinds?" Rice, who was standing aside, heard the news and originally wanted to laugh at Ethan, but when he thought about it, even if he had more tactics than Ethan, it seemed to be of no use.

"But can you master other dazzling tactics at once? No, your super strong body makes you dependent, so that you tend to rely on intuition rather than established tactics. I think this is okay, I am even prepared Use your advantage in this area to improve your offensive efficiency," Thomas said.

"And the opponent in the final, St. John Bosco High School, is known for its defensive team. You have never encountered this kind of opponent before." Thomas added in a low voice.

"So, I hope you can master an advanced quarterback ability - reading defense. This ability is divided into two steps, reading and defense."

It sounds like nonsense.

"Regarding reading, you only need to observe who the defensive team members are facing when they are lined up, and you can intuitively know the opponent's defensive goal. This is a very simple, but extremely practical skill."

When it comes to defense, Thomas spent a full half hour.Explain in detail to Ethan what is meant by "shallow zone", "mid zone", "deep zone", "marking", "mirror technique", "off man", "press man" and "defensive zone" (zone)” and various “coverage shells”…

Ethan also took out a notebook to record the key points.

"Do you understand everything?" Thomas asked.

Ethan re-examined the notes he had just taken several times to confirm that he had kept these concepts firmly in his mind, and then nodded.

"Very good, let's get started." Thomas immediately turned to look at the players who were undergoing skills training.

"Today's actual combat simulation has a new twist. Five additional players are added to the defensive team, and the number of offensive team members remains unchanged. These five extra defensive personnel can only stand behind the line and cannot come into contact with the offensive line."

Then the old fox looked at Ethan again and grinned: "This is the training method I came up with after thinking hard last night. This will allow you to master this ability as quickly as possible."

After the warm-up, the drill officially begins.

From the beginning, Ethan felt the pressure.

Football matches also involve sending people off, but rugby only involves individual players being sent off. It can never be 10 versus 11, because the sport itself places too much emphasis on physical fitness, and the side with fewer players can be said to have no chance of playing.

And now it's not just one person missing, but a whole five.

Ethan tried to run the ball by himself, but as soon as he crossed the line, he was surrounded by five opponents.I also tried passing the ball, but Flea was also marked by multiple people, and he couldn't maintain his position just to receive the ball.

As for handing it over to running back Ford...he might as well be as effective as himself.

After playing for a full hour, he only advanced 15 yards, which works out to 0.2 yards per gear.

Ethan found that it was impossible to complete an effective attack with his previous playing style.

We must change our thinking.

He thought back to concepts he had just been exposed to not long ago, scanning the defense before the snap...

The five extra defensive players were divided into two to guard the wide receivers and assume the role of cornerbacks.

The other two stood with the linebackers and looked to themselves, obviously as linebackers.

Another falls between the linebackers and safeties as a free agent.

As the center kicked the ball into his hands again, this time Ethan did not pass the ball immediately, but distanced himself and began to observe the situation on the court.

Thomas, who was standing on the sidelines, was about to hit Hatcher. When he saw that Ethan finally stopped playing fast break this time and stood in the pocket to observe, he knew that this kid had understood the essence...
