American winner takes all

Chapter 79 New Challenge
"Look clearly, I only teach once."

Ethan assumed his usual throwing posture, stretched his body like a javelin thrower in the classical Olympics, and threw the football in his right hand.

The spinning football drew a perfect parabola in the air, hit the crossbar of the goal fifty yards away, and made a clear echo.

It was Ethan's best ability to hit the ball with heavy artillery.

"Have you learned it?" Ethan looked at Rice beside him.

"Well... I learned a little bit." Rice thought for a while and said.

Ethan took the ball out of the basket and handed it to Rice.

Rice spat into his hands, rubbed the football and weighed it to feel the feel, then retreated, took aim, and the football came out of his hands.

He flew diagonally into the crowd of cheerleaders at the edge of the field, causing a burst of exclamations.

Ethan saw that the cheerleaders seemed to be doing some drills facing the empty stands, and the south stand had a special protruding section, which seemed to be deliberately built.

"It's just some cheering activities, because the results of the football team were not very good before, and the student section (student section) only appeared in baseball and basketball games, but this time it is different." Rice said.

Ethan just regarded it as an ordinary student cheering, but didn't take it seriously.

Ethan didn't notice Sarah in the crowd, and she probably had some guest appearance work, but he did see Amy and Naomi.Since the last fight, the three of them have never had time to meet in private.

In the next 20 minutes, Ethan taught Rice some key pitching techniques. Although Rice had no talent in rugby, at least his accuracy rate was higher than before.

After today's training, Ethan immediately changed his clothes and left the locker room.

Tonight, Lisa will take her to visit her friends, who should already be waiting at the school gate.

Sure enough, when Ethan walked out of the campus, he saw Lisa's familiar stretched Lincoln car.

As soon as I sat in, the fragrant body came into my arms.

"Why haven't you called me these days?" Lisa's voice was a little sticky.

"It's not like we were beaten just now." Ethan comforted him with his hands.

"That's work, not life." Lisa was already suppressing Ethan like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. Suddenly she looked up and saw several people walking out of the school gate through the car window. Walking in the middle was a familiar figure. Lisa immediately called The driver drives.

But it was already too late. Rice found his mother's car, walked over and knocked on the car glass.

After a few seconds, the car window slowly lowered.

"Mom, why are you here...Ethan, you?" Rice's face froze, and he saw Ethan sitting opposite his mother with his eyes closed in deep thought.

"I'm taking Ethan to meet a friend tonight to discuss some things. Is there any problem?" Lisa asked.

"Uh... no problem, no problem." Reiss shook his head repeatedly when he remembered his mother's previous scolding.

"Mom, your shirt is unbuttoned," Rice reminded in a low voice.

"Well, it was too hot in the car just now, and your classmates are still there, so I have to pay attention to my image." Lisa sneered and fastened the buttons, and sweat began to form on the back of her neck.

"The air conditioner in the car is turned on so much, but you are still wearing too many layers." Rice nodded and pointed out her mother's problem.

"Yes, you are right. Ethan and I have something to do. Let's not talk about it for now. Driver, just drive." Lisa closed the car window.

Rice watched as her mother's vehicle left.

It's just a matter of discussion, nothing will happen.Ethan will definitely go home by himself in the evening.

Rice tried to comfort himself in his mind.

·
"It was so dangerous just now. I should come to school less often in the future." Lisa was a little scared. This was not the first time this problem had occurred.

"How about that? The game is about to start. This is the finals. Rice is still the backup quarterback. If you don't come, this mother will be too incompetent." Ethan suggested.

"This matter can't be kept secret forever..." Lisa shook her head, really not knowing how to speak.

"As a father, you should be nicer to him in the future." She thought for a while, and that was all she could do for now. "Of course, at least his backup quarterback can be kept. As for the rest, it's up to you Lisa."

"What can I do?" Lisa didn't know why.

"When you become a mother again, this matter will be settled and everyone will have no choice but to accept it." Ethan pounced like a hungry wolf.

"Did you think so from the beginning?" Lisa suddenly realized.

I can't help but think back to the beginning of the two of them.

At that time, she thought Ethan was just inexperienced and careless, but now she realized that this brat did it on purpose from the beginning.

"Is there a better way than this?" Ethan asked carefully.

Lisa was attacked from both sides. One moment she said yes, the other moment she said no, and she didn’t know what she was thinking.

Lisa finally scolded Ethan passionately.

·
Late at night, Lisa sent Ethan back to the motel.

Ethan was very satisfied with Lisa's arrangement tonight. The two had a meal with an FX Entertainment executive who Lisa had known for many years.

The executive is a woman, so it should be a normal relationship.

For Lisa's sake, the other party called a program director of FOX Sports in person. In the future, Lisa only needs to come forward to get more exposure opportunities. Of course, all this is based on Ethan being on the court. On the premise of excellent performance, it is the icing on the cake.

In the remaining days, Ethan created some new offensive lineups and offensive lines based on the characteristics of each member of the Norman offensive team. Most of the remaining time was spent on running in.

You must know that for the offense, the tactical transmission before the quarterback lines up, including the formation process, is non-stop.

It is impossible for Ethan to have time during the game to explain the specific routes to the players one by one.

That's why there are short tactical commands that are like code words. Private training is to continuously refine these tactical commands through actual combat to ensure that the players can accurately execute Ethan's orders on the field.

Regarding the characteristics of the southern regional final opponent St. John Bosco High School, Thomas also gave Ethan targeted guidance.

Every football team is composed of three parts, the offensive team, the defensive team, and the special teams team.

Among them, the mission of the special team is relatively special, and many positions are held by members of the offensive and defensive teams.Let’s not talk about it for now.

The offensive team and the defensive team are like a spear and shield in the hands of a samurai, and a rugby game is equivalent to a confrontation between two samurai with real swords and guns. No matter how sharp the spear is, it will not be able to exert its advantage without a shield to block it. Otherwise, there will be no iron wall. , you can't win without offensive means, in short, you can't win without any of them.

The Normans, for example, are a typical team with strong offense and weak defense.

St. John Bosco High School is just the opposite, with a so-so offense but the strongest defense in Southern California.

This is not anecdotal, but supported by data.

The Bosco High School Warriors are the team that allows the fewest points per game in all of Southern California.

In addition, several offensive players have transferred to the school this season, and Santa Ana has already regarded it as a strong rival. The outside world also believes that these two teams will compete for invitations to the California Open finals.

Unexpectedly, Ethan O'Connor appeared halfway through.

Before the game, Thomas' evaluation of the opponent's strength was about the same as that of Santa Ana, but the strength was more reflected in the defensive team, which was a brand new challenge for Ethan.

After the training, Ethan was ready to find Catherine. She was already waiting for him in Century City.

When I left the school gate, I saw staff moving piles of brand new, unopened T-shirts into the school hall.

The T-shirt was orange, the same color as the bright orange on the Norman team uniforms. Ethan also saw Rachel from the school newspaper counting the numbers.

"Who are these for?" Ethan asked.

"You'll know when the time comes, big guy. All you need to do is perform well and bring back the school's first championship trophy in 30 years!" Rachel smiled and sold it off.
