American winner takes all

Chapter 91 Eight-a-side rugby (1.6W)

Ethan finally won the guessing stage this time. He got the right to choose first, and then looked around at everyone.

Fleas appear eager to attack!Flea seemed to have grown a bit taller than when Ethan last saw him.

Next to the flea is Ford, who looks a little more rounded than before. I wonder if he is nourished by "love".

Then came Rice, who nodded to Ethan frequently.

Finally, Ethan saw Cooper, who had just returned to the team.

"I choose Cooper!" Ethan mainly wanted to try his depth as a teammate.

"A very wise choice!" Cooper walked out of the crowd and stood next to Ethan.

When it was Adam's turn to choose, he chose the Wild Boar without hesitation, and the second choice was the wide receiver Flea.

The second-round pick Eason chose to match up with Matic, plus the physical cornerback Monte.

Adam backhanded Ford and the offensive tight end.

……

In the final round of selection, Adam looked at the remaining five people.

"Rice..." Adam called out the name.

Rice breathed a sigh of relief. This time he was not the last one left.

There is no doubt that the lower the priority, the less trust your teammates have in you.

But he saw Adam's head tilted: "You go to Ethan."

Rice looked a little embarrassed.

Ethan looked at "Gift Horse" Rice and patted him on the shoulder.

The last two remaining naturally fell into Ethan's team.

In fact, under this selection rule, playing well is not as good as selecting well. Moreover, Ethan himself did not deliberately pursue the strength of the lineup. In addition, it was his first time to experience this selection mode, so the combination was not good.Monte overlaps with another corner position, and has two of the biggest giveaway horses in the team.

There are only three people including himself who can really pose a threat.

On the other hand, Adam's side has a well-organized lineup. On defense, he has Wild Boar, who is the biggest player in the team. On offense, he has chosen Ethan's right-hand men, Flea and Ford.

"My strength is slightly weaker, so of course the team should have the advantage." Adam said to Ethan while putting on protective gear.

Ethan led the team to win the championship, setting a new record for BHHS in the past 30 years. This result alone made Adam ashamed.

But what he said now was actually due to his usual humility.

Adam himself felt that even if he was worse than Ethan, the difference was limited.

Ethan seemed indifferent.

"You don't think you can win easily, do you?" Adam looked at the smile on Ethan's face and responded.

"What are you two talking about?" Cooper, a tall man, came over at this time.

You can also observe Cooper's height at this time. He is about the same as Ethan before. However, Ethan's height has increased by nearly two inches (5cm) in the past two months, which shows the difference.

"Discuss how to stimulate your ability." Ethan responded.

"Then don't think about it. Cooper is a typical route to the end. Not even me, not even Thomas, can beat him." Adam said at this time.

Is there such a thing?Being able to obtain the main position by relying on only one route is considered a talent in another sense.

Ethan felt that he was "lazy" enough, but he didn't expect that Cooper was the one who really knew how to learn and practice.

"Yes, this route is also called Cooper's route." Cooper's hand was like a swimming fish, drawing a zigzag line that meandered forward.

Soon, the preparations for both sides were completed, and the eight-man rugby team match in a small venue officially began.

It was still Ethan who attacked first. There was no fancy work, he just ran and attacked, heading straight for Adam.

In any case, Adam had just returned from injury, and he was in the quarterback position where his body was not advantageous. Ethan's offensive direction was to go straight to the opponent's "seven inches."

Adam did not flinch at all and chose to block in front of Ethan.

Just when Ethan was about to use his usual fast disguised move, his movements suddenly stopped. I don't know if it was Adam's habit or an accident. In short, his feet were blocking Ethan's path. If Ethan rashly The movement was afraid of colliding with Adam's ankle again.

If it were an opponent, they would have touched each other, and Ethan was eager to let him break his bones again.

But Adam is really different. After all, he is the person who taught Ethan passing skills. Not to mention the rewards, at least he can't let him have any problems with his feet again.

In this short gap, Adam quickly hooked the football in Ethan's arms with both hands. Instead of grabbing it with brute force, he inserted his fingers into Ethan's arms to cushion the football. Pressing down slightly, the football lost its original balance and fell straight down.

"Drop the ball!" Cooper behind Ethan saw this scene and immediately shouted loudly, his mouth opened so wide that you could even see his trembling tonsils.

For the football players on the field.

If there's any apocalyptic disaster scenario, it's the word "ball drop."

At this moment, no matter which side they belong to, no matter where they are on the field, whether they are marking or stalemate with the opponent, all the players immediately rush towards the position where the ball was dropped desperately.

Fortunately, Ethan reacted quickly and immediately lay on the ground to cover the ball firmly with his body.

Immediately afterwards, you can see a huge wild boar lying on Ethan to grab the ball, followed by the second and third person. Soon there is a huge pile of people on the field. This is a scene that often occurs after the ball is dropped, regardless of Whether it's offense or defense, they all want to take advantage of this moment to fish in troubled waters.

In the end, Thomas stopped the game to end the scene.

When the players removed one by one, Ethan could be seen still lying on the ground, with the football firmly pressed under his abdomen.

When Ethan stood up, he couldn't help but rub his lower back. He didn't expect these team members to be serious.

"Do you know what Thomas Bowl is? It means eating breakfast in Coach Thomas's bowl." Adam smiled, and then deliberately stretched his feet.

Obviously, he did it on purpose.

After this contact, Ethan could also feel that Adam's technical style was that of an "intelligent" player, relying more on small skills rather than brute force.

In the second attack, Ethan looked like he was going to repeat his old trick and charged towards Adam again.

But this time Adam did not use the cheating tactic again, unless he entered the hospital again. Moving backward, the wild boar and another defender on one side began to double-team Ethan.

Unfortunately, Ethan had already passed the ball.

But for Adam's teammates, they didn't see how Ethan passed the ball at all.

As if by magic, Ethan made the ball disappear out of thin air. "woohoo!!!!"

A figure like a locomotive rushed out at this time. It was Cooper. He was holding a football in his arms and swaggering through the city.

It wasn't until Cooper scored a touchdown that everyone vaguely realized how Ethan passed the ball. Without looking back at all, he passed the ball directly from behind.

Does this guy have eyes in his back?
Adam felt incredible. He had only seen Ethan pass the ball sideways without vision. You must know that the difficulty of passing the ball sideways and passing the ball behind the back are not at the same level, and Ethan's arms had no extra movement at all.

As I was thinking about it, I saw Ethan and Cooper bumping their chests in the air.

At this time, Adam took the initiative to find Ethan and asked him how he did it.

Ethan showed Adam step by step.

Adam shook his head.

If you can't learn, you can't learn at all.

In fact, Ethan's action is very simple. He just uses his wrist to throw the ball gently. There is no ball speed or angle. But at that time, everyone's attention is focused on Ethan's front, which does not matter. important.

Looking at Ethan's palm, which was twice as big as his own, Adam knew that this time he lost not to experience, but to physical fitness and imagination.

After Adam's attack, it was Ethan's turn to defend.

Ethan's defensive actions looked loose and casual.I didn’t even understand the rules of the eight-a-side game.But when Adam passed the ball to Flea, a roc spread its wings, jumped high, and used a shot-blocking action similar to that in basketball, and directly knocked the football away from the court.

Ethan dare not say that he knows much about defense, but he knows his teammates extremely well.

Flea's advantage lies in speed and flexibility, while height is a disadvantage. In fact, he only needs a corner position with a dominant height to restrict him.

When he was on the court, Ethan wouldn't even pass such high balls to him, but would only play behind him or pass half-high balls.

Seeing the football being slapped away on the other side, Adam suddenly realized the mistake he had made.

It seems that in terms of understanding his teammates, he is also a little behind Ethan.

The game was still going on. After being targeted by Ethan continuously, Adam's movements seemed cautious. After many tentative attacks, he successfully found Ethan's weakness, which was Rice on the edge!
"S**t!" After being teased by a flea who changed his position again, Rice seemed a little angry.

"What's wrong?" A familiar voice came from my ears.

When Rice turned around, it was Ethan.

Ethan called Cooper over and muttered to him for a while.

"Don't worry, boy, I'll be by your side." Cooper whistled and changed positions with his teammates next to Rice.

The scores of both sides increased alternately, but Ethan's side gradually showed an advantage, even though there were only three reliable players on his side.

On the last attack near the end of the game, Ethan generously handed the ball directly to Cooper.

In a very short period of time, Cooper glanced at Ethan, his eyes looked a little panicked, as if to say: "You don't think I can really rush over, do you?"

The current situation is indeed a challenge for Cooper. After all, there is no cover. Ethan directly passes the ball to himself, and Adam's side immediately approaches the center.

"Cooper's route." Ethan said softly.He also wanted to see what the so-called Cooper route looked like.

Cooper gritted his teeth and prepared to show his only and most proficient route. It was generally similar to the normal full-back rushing route, but there were differences in the details.

It can be understood as a combination of the offensive styles of Ford and Flea, giving Ethan a feeling of mixed flexibility and speed. The most important thing is that Cooper has enough physical advantages. When running with all his strength, he even has a bit of Yi Sen. Sen's momentum.

Ethan immediately thought of several offensive tactics that could be matched with Cooper on the court... The only problem is that this big guy is not very motivated.

And Cooper's route is indeed well-deserved. It can be said that Cooper used one person to force the entire defense line. In the end, he was almost pulled, pulled, and hugged, and his clothes were torn before he could stop.

And the position where he stopped was already very close to the final formation area.

Ethan nodded frequently.

This should be the most comprehensive offensive player currently.

In the next scoring attack, Ethan actually used the same tactics as before, wanting to see how Cooper would respond when the space was compressed. However, as soon as Cooper received the ball, he actually passed the ball again. Stuff it back to Ethan.

Seeing that the opponent was approaching, Ethan chose to break into the opponent's defense with the ball.

And the moment Ethan turned his back to Cooper, he turned into a hungry wolf that pounced on the sheep. He rushed and arched, and pushed Adam and two small defenders a few yards away. Faced with his size, With the wild boar even more dominant, Ethan showed off his cunning side again and got under the wild boar's armpit. Finally, he almost stepped on the opponent's defensive player and rushed into the formation.

And until Thomas blew the whistle to end the game, Cooper was still stunned.

He could feel the fierceness in Ethan.

And one intuitive display of strength is better than thousands of verbal confrontations.

Cooper walked over and pulled Ethan up.

"I think your Cooper's route needs to be improved." Ethan took off his helmet, and you could see that a piece of the corner of his mouth was broken. During the last attack, Ethan's face came into close contact with the mask.

"How to improve?" Cooper also took off his helmet.

"Never turn down a pass from me."

"Oh. I know." Cooper nodded obediently this time.

Adam, who was not far away, looked at the two of them. In fact, he knew more about Cooper than Ethan did.

If it weren't for Cooper being too lazy, he would definitely be a strong contender for the best high school fullback in California.

Not to mention himself, not even Thomas could do anything about it. Cooper was almost dragged from the baseball field to the football field.

He had no interest in football at all.

But on the contrary, he was so impressed by Ethan, obviously he saw his own shortcomings in Ethan.

Talent, understanding of the players, and leadership were all outclassed.

Adam shook his head. Of course he would never forget the night when Ethan joined the team for the first time. He was forced to stay by Coach Thomas and practiced passing with Ethan.

At that time, Ethan didn't understand anything, but in the blink of an eye, he had surpassed himself.

"I will wait for you at the NCAA, and we will have a good competition then." Adam said to Ethan.

Another one waiting for me?

Ethan's smile froze.
