Chapter 10: Positional Confrontation
Contempt the opponent strategically, and attach importance to the opponent tactically.
Levi's nerves were completely tense.
At the beginning, Levi used an emergency stop swing similar to the Marseille slalom to get rid of Allen, and took the initiative to break through Foster on the left. However, this time Allen's secondary reaction was excellent, using his arms when the center of gravity was unstable. After tripping Levi's calf, Levi's center of gravity was immediately disrupted.
During the stumble, he was unable to get rid of Foster immediately. Although Levi reacted in time and immediately changed direction, he still fell into the attack of Foster and Humphrey. This is what really annoyed Levi. .
He saw a gap, made an emergency brake and controlled his pace, trying to make Foster and Humphrey collide. Then he went out from the outside of Humphrey. Even though Jackson had already stepped forward to intercept, he still had a chance. .
However, at this fleeting opportunity, he failed to control his emergency braking, and was hugged by Humphrey and Foster.
After being surrounded, Levi still tried to break away and rush forward. Seeing that Humphrey and Foster were unstable and unable to fully grasp them, Levi could break away at any time. Jackson, who rushed over, strangled Levi. After a final struggle, Levi fell to the ground with regret.
Three big men are stacked here.
Levi is still choked——
Even this time, he still had a chance, just a little bit close.
However, I have to admit that the impact, breakthrough, and offensive and defensive confrontation of rugby are indeed tough and exciting. The solid collision of fists and flesh makes a muffled sound. The confrontation between strength and power completely burns adrenaline.
Interesting.
Unexpectedly, Levi stood up and turned around to see the scene of everyone looking for their chins. The silent scene seemed to have pressed the pause button. This made Levi stunned. Could it be that he had entered the Flash state because he was too fast? So fast that it feels like everyone else is standing still?
Levi showed an apologetic smile and said loudly to Burns, "Sorry, coach, my performance was not very good this time."
Allen: Cough.
He almost choked on his saliva, "Rookie, are you serious or are you just trash-talking?"
Levi couldn't help but smile, "If this is trash talk, is your reaction..."
Too stupid?
Although Levi didn't speak, Allen understood immediately. He looked at the sky and coughed twice in embarrassment, then looked down at Levi again, "If this is a poor performance, our defensive team needs to go Facing the wall."
Embarrassed as it was, Allen explained it seriously, and then Levi understood.
Burns just said that football is a turn-based system, so how should a turn be defined?
Very simple.
In each attack, the offensive side has four opportunities. As long as it can advance ten yards within four times, it will get a new fourth opportunity to attack and continue to advance. This repeats until the end position.
Correspondingly, the defensive side needs to prevent the opponent from advancing ten yards in four opportunities, end the opponent's possession of the ball, and complete the transition of possession.
If the fourth-speed offense does not complete ten yards, it means that the round is over and the ball will be transferred on the spot. That is, the defensive team will replace its own offensive team and start the attack from the original spot.
It is precisely because of this that in order to avoid the fourth gear of offense ending in vain and returning to a disadvantageous position, which will cause difficulties for the subsequent defense, the offensive side often only attacks the third gear, and switches to the special team in the fourth gear, and they will give up. Kick, push the starting point of the opponent's next attack as far back as possible by punting.
Of course, the offensive side can choose to play all four gears. If it fails, it can just exchange the ball right on the spot.
However, there is a special case here.
After the third attack, if the offensive team is not far from the end zone, then they can choose the special team to come on the field. Instead of punting, they can choose a free kick. As long as the football flies over the goal at the end of the end zone, they can score.
These rules constitute the main body of the rugby game, a turn-based offensive and defensive battle.
Even though Allen's explanation was messy, and Humphrey and the others were busy adding that it didn't help much, Levi still understood it——
It seems complicated, but it is actually clear.
In fact, just switch the football game to a turn-based offensive and defensive confrontation. Football can switch offense and defense at any time, but rugby is limited to ten yards and four opportunities. If the offensive team can complete the attack, it will continue to attack; otherwise, the defensive team will Successfully got the ball in the first gear.
All other details are further improvements based on this framework, but they do not hinder whether you can understand rugby. Levi suddenly realized, "It turns out that the fork at the end of the end zone is not a decoration."
Humphrey and Foster and Jackson:…
fork?
Seriously?
Allen burst out laughing, "Yes, that's the goal."
"In football, there are three ways to score."
"First, get into the end zone, touchdown, six points."
"Second, get into free kick range, shoot, three points."
"Third, if the offensive team is tackled to the ground by an opponent in its own end zone, this will not only result in a transition of the ball, but it will also be counted as a safety point, two points."
"Oh, by the way, after every touchdown, there is a chance for extra points, two options."
"Choose field goal, kick off the ball fifteen yards in front of the end zone line and shoot. If successful, add one point; choose touchdown, kick off the ball two yards in front of the end zone line and score a touchdown. If successful, add two points. point."
This time, Allen's explanation was much clearer.
Levi suddenly realized, "So, rugby does require the use of feet...wait, free kicks and shots should be completed with feet, right?"
"Haha." Allen smiled very happily, "Yes, punts, kickoffs, etc. are all done with feet."
So, it seems that rugby can keep the word "foot" and there is no need to compete with "handball" for the name.
Humphrey looked at Allen and then at Levi. The first one couldn't hold back, "Hey, so now you know why we are so surprised, right?"
Levi blinked, his face full of innocence.
Humphrey held his head and yelled, "Rookie, we only need to advance ten yards per offense, and the average advancement of running backs is less than five yards, but in the end, the first two fifty-yard long-distance attacks were touchdowns." Not to mention, the third time we went all out, you actually blocked the first attack!"
Levi raised his chin slightly, "The first attack means a new round of fourth-level attack opportunities, right?"
Seeing Levi's inquisitive and nonchalant expression, Humphrey looked up at the sky, feeling a sense of powerlessness, and then drooped his shoulders, "Yes."
This is the reason why everyone is surprised——
In the third time, Levi moved all the way and actually advanced ten yards in a strong collision. Such a tough and ferocious performance is definitely eye-catching.
Levi waved his hand modestly, "Occasionally, occasionally."
Foster had a sad expression on his face, "It better be. If it happens often, I think you will be a nightmare for defensive frontmen and linebackers."
Before he finished speaking, Foster saw Levi's expression of eagerness for knowledge and smacked himself, "Sorry, you don't know what a defensive lineman and a linebacker are, right? I was stupid."
An awkward yet polite smile.
Allen laughed again, "You did what you said. I actually danced three times in a row. Well done, rookie. Welcome to the Crimson Tide Storm."
As he spoke, Allen raised his right fist, pushed it flat, and looked at Levi openly——
Be comfortable with your own setbacks.
