American winner takes all

Chapter 84 We are the champions!

"Me?" Rice was stunned.

High school football games do not have such strict restrictions, and the bench is not as big as in professional football, so many times the substitutes stand directly on the sidelines.

He had just observed Ethan's performance at close range, and it could be said that his worldview had been greatly impacted.

Especially when Ethan pulled onions on dry land in the first half, he showed a physical fitness that was not like that of an earthling, which made him feel even more horrified.

As for the many dazzling tactics that appeared in succession, Rice also realized...

It turns out rugby can be played like this.

He naturally knew that the offensive players had not practiced the relevant tactics in private at all, and it was entirely Ethan's on-the-spot command.

It was like an insurmountable mountain appeared in front of me, a Titan from Greek mythology.

In comparison, I am so small, as weak as an ant.

And everything is still based on the premise that Ethan has only been exposed to rugby for two months.

Rice knew he couldn't beat Ethan. He had seen it in the previous game, but this time he witnessed it from a closer distance. It can be said that he was more sad than heartbroken.

He even felt that his football career was completely over.

But just when he felt that everything was dark in front of him, the words Ethan came to him and said were like a ray of light.

Breaking through all obstructions.

"Can I?" Rice confirmed again.

Ethan patted his teammate on the shoulder.

"Of course, you can do it, believe in yourself." Ethan gave great encouragement.

At this time, in the first row of the stands, Lisa also saw this scene. When she saw Ethan taking the initiative to walk over and the two communicated, their relationship was better than she imagined, and she felt much more relaxed.

Even though she usually looks confident and decisive in doing things without any sloppiness.Regarding the matter of Ethan and Rice, I must be thinking about it in my heart, but I have never shown it.

Backup quarterback Rice entered the game.

Compared with Ethan's dazzling tactics, Rice's performance was lackluster and extremely conservative.

Sure enough, not long after he came on the field, he made another low-level mistake of dropping the ball, which was obviously caused by being too nervous.This is a long-standing problem with Rice.

"Hey, he's not a rugby material at all." Thomas couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.

"If he can overcome his psychological problems, there is no problem in being an ordinary substitute." Ethan feels that he is similar to the Warriors' quarterback in terms of physical strength.

Thomas even briefly had a dispute with Ethan over Rice.

This scene also fell in Rice's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Not long after, Rice saw Ethan standing on the sidelines again, making a gesture similar to kicking a ball.

Rice understood immediately and chose to take a free kick.

Mark will score the penalty 41 yards from the end zone!
Norman scored three points.

When Rice returned to the court, Ethan specifically told him to use more free kicks in the future.

Even if the advantage cannot be expanded, at least it will not be recovered too much.

There was no blame in his words, just the mountain-like love of an old father. Rice was somewhat moved by what he said.

He just saw Ethan arguing with the coach in order to keep him on the court and teaching him scoring techniques...

I heard that in other teams, the main quarterback and the backup quarterback are fighting openly and covertly. Compared with this, the Ethan people are indeed not bad.

Speaking of nature, Rice is indeed naughty and a thorn in the team.

But now Ethan is dominating everyone. Due to his super strength, Rice is somewhat afraid.

In addition, with the coming and going of Ethan's "teaching" at this moment, Rice really felt a little more grateful to Ethan.

Even...want to be friends with Ethan!
"After this game, how about we go to the club in the San Fernando Valley to celebrate? It's my treat." Rice patted Ethan's chest, with a smile that only men can understand on his face.

·
As Rice began to use more free kick tactics, the Normans' situation finally stabilized, and Ethan was rarely able to wait for the end of the game on the sidelines.As for Flea Ford and several other players, they were also replaced by Thomas at this time. Ethan simply took a few of them to the student south stand.

As Ethan approached, the students who were already in a carnival started screaming.

"Ethan, I want to give you a baby!" A girl shouted the loudest.

Ethan actually couldn't figure out why these students who had never watched football before were happier than the players on the field.

But on second thought.

As the name "FNL" implies, they just need a reason to party.

Then make football games a festival in this school!
Ethan began to dance to the rhythm of the music. His movements were a little stiff, jumping up and down with the rhythm, shaking his arms rhythmically, and the ending posture was still a stinky way of crossing his hands under his armpits and raising his shoulders.

Such a people-friendly style allowed Ethan to quickly mingle with everyone, and naturally gained everyone's love and admiration.

Rachel took many photos of the whole process.

Jennifer in the stands also laughed. She discovered the "cute" side of Ethan O'Connor today.

In the end, even the cheerleaders came to join in the fun, and Sarah Gellar was thrown directly by Ethan a few times...

As the game whistle blew, the cheerleaders rushed to the field screaming, and then the audience in the south stand, and then the audience in the main stand, not only students, but also parents, gathered in the stadium in hundreds, everyone's face was All with heartfelt smiles.

Ethan was lifted high and then passed around by everyone, receiving treatment like a god.

The on-site staff also played Queen's "We are the champions" in response to the occasion, and the chorus even aroused the chorus of thousands of people!
"we are the champions - my friends
and we'll keep on fighting till the end

…no time for losers This world does not belong to losers

cause we are the champions of the worldbecause we are the world champions..."

Everyone began to hold hands, put their shoulders around each other, and became one with each other, swaying their bodies to the rhythm, singing at the top of their lungs, and singing with great passion.

Even the two middle-aged people, Mia and Lisa, are no exception. They seem to have returned to their high school days decades ago.

Mia had a knowing smile on her face and Lisa had tears in her eyes.

And the surprises are not limited to the championship.

Just when the chorus ended and the revelers began to disperse, some players suddenly knelt down on one knee, and the cheerleaders also knelt down on one knee, forming a channel on the court. At the end of the channel, someone sent a huge paper wall with hearts drawn on it and the names of these two people written on it.

And standing under the wall of confession was Ford.

As for the heroine, she was a girl from the cheerleading team. She covered her mouth and walked quickly towards Ford. Ford was holding a bouquet of flowers, a very small bouquet, just a symbol.

The two simply hugged each other, not even kissing, but you could see that both of them were very happy.

"I'm so envious." A gloomy word came from beside Ethan.

When he looked up, Sarah Gellar appeared next to him at some point, clasping his fingers and looking fascinated.

"Are you talking to me?" Ethan asked with a smile.

"No." Sarah immediately turned her face away.

"Unhappy?"

"Not happy? You don't know how happy I am! Finally, the football season is over! The cheerleaders can have a good vacation!" Sarah Gellar stretched with relief.

"We also have a summer party to hold a farewell ceremony for the graduating cheerleaders. This is a BHHS tradition. Do you want to come?" Sarah Gellar suddenly suggested.

"You happened to meet me, so you invited me temporarily?" Ethan didn't say whether he agreed or not.

Sarah looked at Ethan and sneered: "What else?"

"Then I won't go." Ethan shook his head immediately.

"Then what if I say...I didn't invite you temporarily?" Sarah Gellar put her hands behind her back and kicked the lawn with her head down, her white sneakers as clean as new.

"Then I won't go either." Ethan didn't agree to Rice's invitation just now. For normal students, half of the summer vacation has passed, but for Ethan, the summer vacation has just begun, and he has some things to do first. deal with.

As for partying and relaxing, we’ll talk about it then…

In addition to love, there are many family dramas off the court.

Flea's mother, who is often on a business trip abroad, flew back to watch her son's game this time. Flea obviously didn't know all this. When she saw her mother, her face was particularly surprised, and she rushed over and hugged her mother.

The boar held up a little baby, his sister.Someone booed and used their mouths to sing the African-style chant of Simba the Lion King when he was lifted up, and the audience burst into laughter.

Even Lisa came to some sort of reconciliation with Rice, with whom she embraced.

"You did a great job today," Lisa said.

But Lisa's eyes met with Ethan's behind Rice.

Lisa made a wink look at Ethan.

·
When Ethan returned to the locker room, he saw Principal John holding the trophy and crying bitterly. Although it was only a small trophy and it was plastic, he still said self-moving words such as "BHHS needs this championship so much" .

Looking at his state tonight, it is inconvenient to talk to Ethan about other topics tonight, such as investment in team building.

Ethan looked around for coach Thomas and heard from the players that he was called to the corridor by the FOX TV staff after the game.

Ethan finally followed the guidance and found Coach Thomas.

At this time, Thomas was reminiscing with old friends, and the person reminiscing was none other than Matt Millen, the commentator for this game. It turned out that the two were alumni in college and were teammates on the school team.

"Oh, Ethan O'Connor, I'm very impressed by your performance today." Matt Millen waved to him enthusiastically as soon as he saw Ethan.

Ethan originally wanted to ask Thomas about the "bonus" of this game, but he didn't expect to get unexpected attention.

Matt Millen squeezed Ethan's arm, touched Ethan's palm, and then touched Ethan's head. His mouth kept coming out: "Tsk, tsk, you have a pair of eagle eyes and a head for this guy." The size of an ox and the speed of a leopard..." In short, he was very complimentary of Ethan's physical condition.

FOX Sports is inviting him to start a new show, inviting a football player to be interviewed every week.

Matt Millen thinks it’s very appropriate to invite Ethan as the first guest!
Of course, this needs to be confirmed by the program director.

·
When leaving the stadium with his family and friends, Ethan saw a group of people gathered around the souvenir sales booth. Most of the people bought their own jerseys, which probably contributed to the school's income. In addition, Ethan also discovered that the souvenir sales stalls were originally displayed on the stadium. Many vending machines in the passage have disappeared...

"It's really relaxing to watch football games occasionally." William couldn't help but sigh when entering the motel.

Jumping around and yelling like this is really a stress reliever.

"I finally understand why you Americans love football so much." Charlize said at this time.

As a South African, she, like Ethan at first, couldn't understand why the sport was so popular in the United States.

And now, she found the reason:

"Because football is more than just a sport for Americans, it's a bond between people."

She recalled the scenes about love and family after the game.

"It's not wrong to say that." Ethan thought of the Stars and Stripes before the game, which can also explain why there are always fighter jets flying over before the start of the football game...including what the students call the "Friday Night Lights Show." Here, rugby becomes a vehicle in a sense.

In fact, Ethan, who is in the Cao camp and has a heart in the Han Dynasty, is not interested in these things, just like his answer to Ellie.

"Charlize, we need to talk about your problem later." Ethan looked at Charlize Theron beside him.
