American winner takes all

Chapter 93 Historic Meeting 24
From Los Angeles to San Francisco, Thomas specifically asked the driver to take the most scenic Interstate 101 along the way.

From the time we drove out of the San Fernando Valley, the road began to become desolate. At first we could still see the California coastline, but once we entered the Santa Lucia Mountains, we could see the continuous peaks outside the car window. We could only walk to Monte Monte in the afternoon. The coastline will become clearer when you reach Thunder Bay.

Everyone in the car seemed a little excited at first. In addition to talking about where they were going this summer, they were also looking forward to what results the team would achieve in the new season.

"California champion? You underestimate Ethan. Our goal this year is the national championship!" Flea knelt on the seat and said to the people behind him.

There is no doubt that in the hearts of everyone, Ethan is invincible, and no one of his age can match him.

"Maybe we should challenge the Trojans from the University of Southern California?" Wild Boar even raised his hands.

Everyone laughed.

Ethan observed Ford next to him. Compared to the last time they met, he was a little fatter. He seemed a little gloomy all the way, and his eyes were looking diagonally ahead.

Ethan followed his line of sight and found Munster sitting diagonally in front of him.

He also moves.

In other words, only one of Ford and Munster can start.

In fact, who to choose, including Thomas, all the team members, and Ethan all have the answer in their hearts.

Ethan didn't mention anything about the team, but about Ford and his girlfriend.

When he mentioned his girlfriend, Ford finally had a smile on his face.

"God once said, I open a door for you today and close a window for you tomorrow." Since learning the power of God from Adam, Ethan now always likes to use God as a shield.

"Did God say this?" Ford was stunned.

"This sentence may be what I said, Ford, you have to know that competitive sports are cruel, no one will care about how much hard work you have gone through, and no one will care about the loser except your family." Ethan I had to change my words. I learned this sentence from Thomas.

"How many pounds did you gain this summer?"

"3 pounds?" Ford said somewhat unconfidently.

"I feel like it's at least 15 pounds. Unless you want to compete with wild boars as a center, you have to lose weight."

"I understand." Ford could only nod. "I will be Munster's substitute."

In the evening, the bus finally entered the territory of San Jose.

"This is Cupertino." Thomas pointed to the street sign.

We have entered the famous Silicon Valley, and further north is Mountain View, and further north is Stanford. Finally, the vehicle passes through Belmont and enters San Mateo.

The whole journey lasted more than ten hours, from early morning to evening.

"Since the school's athletic director has not contacted the local hotel, we may need to stay in the student dormitory tonight." Thomas announced the news to everyone before getting off the bus.

"Oh..." This caused everyone to complain.

Ethan didn't care, after all, the student dormitory was not much different from his usual living conditions.

Entering the room, you can just see the stadium not far away.

Since it was already evening, there was only one light on the stadium, but a figure could be seen, standing alone in the night practicing passing, with a long shadow.

"Ford, do you want to go down tonight to lose weight?" Ethan suddenly said to Ford next to him.

"How about... tomorrow, I mean, I'm really sleepy today." Ford thought for a while and said hesitantly.

Then he met Ethan's somewhat captivating smile.

"Okay! Act now." Ford immediately changed his tune.

As night falls, there are two more people on the court, and the unexpected visitor makes the boy who was practicing alone turn his head.

"How did you two get in?" He asked immediately with some vigilance.

"We are ninth-grade students. We live nearby and will be reporting in soon, so we came here specially to take a look." Ethan smiled.

At this time, he was already very close to the other party, and his heart suddenly trembled.

The other person's face made Ethan feel very familiar.

Ethan didn't know much about football and didn't know anyone when he attended the All-Star game.

He only knew one football star.

His name is Tom Brady.

Seven Super Bowls, five Super Bowl MVPs.My wife is the most powerful supermodel.

Just like Jordan in basketball, Messi in football, Tiger Woods in golf, and Tyson in boxing.

Even if you don’t know this sport at all, you should have heard the name of a representative figure of a certain sport.

At this time, the Lord of the Rings' face is slightly childish, and his height is already quite intimidating.

He looked at Ethan, who was one point taller than him, with shoulders wider than him, and a bit bigger than him, and repeated with some suspicion: "Ninth grade?"

You call this ninth grade?
"Yes, I may be a little anxious. Are you a member of the football team?" Ethan observed how he held the ball.

As the future GOAT (great of all time number one in history), Ethan must of course observe every detail carefully.

Naturally, I was disappointed. Tom Brady's posture when holding the ball was no different from his own.

"Humph, you too, right?" Tom Brady felt that this ninth-grade freshman's figure was very suitable for playing football.

"Well, I'd like to ask you some questions, if you're not busy..." Ethan pondered. "Of course. What position do you play?" Tom asked enthusiastically.

"Quarterback."

"Quarterback?"

"Yes."

"I happen to be the quarterback," Tom grinned.

"That's quite a coincidence." Ethan nodded.

It was quite a coincidence that Ethan didn't know that Tom was from California. What was even more coincidental was that the two met during this warm-up match.

In the warm-up match, the important thing is to warm up. The outcome is not critical, which also leads to great harmony off the court.

In addition, Los Angeles and San Francisco are not too far away, so I might be able to become friends with him.

It’s normal for friends to share their feelings about football, isn’t it?

Ethan tentatively asked a few questions about the quarterback, and Tom answered them one by one. His speech was fluent and his thinking was clear. It was obvious that his basic skills were relatively solid.

Tom Brady speaks softly and in a soft voice, but his words are more organized and his language is very concise.Generally speaking, he has a reserved personality.

"Can you throw a few long balls?" Ethan asked with some anticipation.

"This... you can give it a try." Tom looked a little embarrassed, picked up the football in the basket next to him, and threw it towards the horizontal bar in the distance.

At this moment, Ethan held his breath and watched the football draw lines under the light and hit the goal accurately.

If this is a free kick, it will give our side three points.

And if it was a quarterback throwing the ball over the crossbar, Ethan would give it a bad thumbs up.

That's it?

Not as good as me!
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Tom Brady is not good at passing the ball/is not in good form tonight/will suddenly rise to prominence at some point in the future.

And after many attempts, Ethan did feel that he was worse than his current self, let alone comparable to Peyton Newman.

In fact, Tom only became the main player in his fourth year after entering the University of Michigan, which also led to him being selected in the sixth round with the 199th overall pick in the NFL draft that year.

There are a total of 224 picks every year. To exaggerate, the bottom 25.

It can be said that before the game in which the Patriots' main quarterback was hit and suffered internal bleeding, Tom Brady had been a little transparent for a long time.

From that game, he began a 20-year cheating career.

But before that, he was not outstanding at all, and he even swung before baseball and football.

"In fact, I feel that football is not suitable for me at all. I like baseball compared to it." Tom Brady said what was in his heart.

Ethan wanted to start clapping immediately.

"You're right, football is too harmful to the body." Ethan immediately agreed.

"And I was scolded by the coach for being late this morning." When he mentioned this, Tom seemed to be in a worse mood.

"If you were asked to name the three key words of a quarterback for the first time, which three would you say?" Ethan asked at this time.

"Mindset, mentality, mentality." Brady responded without hesitation.

Ethan nodded, this answer was in line with Tom's meek character.

"Your friend... seems to be about to collapse." At this time, Tom saw Ford who was still running laps on the playground and said with some concern.

"We have to go back. Besides, we will meet again soon." Ethan said before leaving.

Tom Brady thought Ethan was talking about joining the team, so he nodded immediately without thinking much about it.

Ethan finally helped Ford back. After a summer vacation, this guy's endurance and explosive power had deteriorated considerably.

Women will only make you run slower!
The next morning, the warm-up match started on time, and when Tom saw that the person he was guessing coins with was actually the person he met on the playground last night, he couldn't help blurting out: "Ninth grader?"

"You're right, my former grader is indeed in ninth grade." Ethan nodded.

"Oh, you came to inquire about our information last night! You are a spy!" Tom immediately felt regretful.

"Don't say that. I just think your playing style is very handsome and I want to get to know you."

"Don't worry, you didn't tell me your tactics today. This is just a friendly match." Ethan said sincerely.

Looking at Ethan's extended hand, Tom finally chose to shake hands with Ethan.

"That's only fair." He nodded, not taking it too seriously.

The game started immediately, and Ethan unsurprisingly lost the coin guessing round again.

After the kickoff, the ball stopped at the opponent's 45-yard line.

Tom had already put on his helmet at this time...

Ethan has also taken his place on the sidelines, eager to get a telescope and observe Tom Brady carefully.

　Second more.
